Damn, I'm truly awe-inspiring. A single sentence scared so many Golden Core Realm Experts into pissing their pants.
Zhang Bin muttered proudly to himself. He suddenly threw a pitch-black object high into the air and yelled with a sneer, "Here comes the ultimate weapon! All of you can go to hell!"
The Golden Core Realm Experts from the Island Nation were nearly scared to death. They all fled on their swords at top speed, desperately trying to get more than ten miles away.
Tanikawa, a top expert at the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection, was the fastest to flee. In a flash, he was already more than ten miles away. However, nothing happened. The sea after the rain was eerily quiet.
Tanikawa's Divine Sense swept over the area. He almost vomited blood in anger when he sensed what Zhang Bin had thrown. It wasn't an ultimate weapon at all, but a plastic slipper. It had already fallen and was now floating on the surface of the sea.
The other experts from the Island Nation quickly saw it with their Divine Sense as well. They were just as infuriated, their faces turning ashen with rage. A whole group of Golden Core Realm Experts chasing three ant-like weaklings had been scared off for more than ten miles by a thrown slipper. If word of this got out, they would become a laughingstock in the Cultivation World.
WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH...
Seething with killing intent, they flew back, intending to exterminate Zhang Bin's group without another word.
However, when they arrived at the original spot, they were shocked to discover that Zhang Bin, his two companions, and his two pets had vanished without a trace.
Not good, they've dived into the water. The thought arose in all their minds simultaneously.
Indeed. Zhang Bin had instructed his two pets to dive below the surface, and they were now swimming straight toward China. He cultivated the Qingmu Longevity Technique, and while he couldn't breathe underwater yet, he could hold his breath for over ten minutes.
The only worry was Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue. Although they were Superpower Users, they couldn't hold their breath in the water for much longer than an ordinary person. Three minutes was likely their limit. In three minutes, however, they could escape over twenty kilometers. They could then surface for a quick breath before diving again. The enemy might not be able to catch them.
Of course, it was still incredibly dangerous. With so many Golden Core Realm Experts around, the moment they surfaced, their pursuers would sense them with Divine Sense. If their enemies attacked with Flying Swords, they would have no way to dodge.
Tanikawa was very experienced. He didn't panic and commanded, "Spread out quickly and surround a twenty-kilometer radius of the sea! That way, a forty-kilometer diameter will be within range of our Divine Sense. The moment they emerge, kill them on sight with your Flying Swords!"
The experts respectfully complied and dispersed in a flurry, surrounding the vast expanse of sea. It seemed Zhang Bin and his group were truly in a desperate situation.
However, at that very moment, all the Golden Core Realm Experts received an urgent text message. It stated that a large number of experts were attacking the Island Nation's Biotech Base to steal their research on Genetically Enhanced Humans. This concerned the very fate of the Island Nation, and the message urged them to return immediately to provide support.
"Dammit, we've fallen for a trick to lure the tiger from its mountain!"
The faces of the Island Nation experts changed drastically. Forgetting all about Zhang Bin, they turned and flew back toward the Island Nation in a flurry.
Tanikawa was so angry he nearly vomited blood. On a normal day, he had the authority to command these Golden Core experts. But with the nation's survival at stake, he had no right to keep them here to help him capture Zhang Bin.
For him, nothing was more important than extending his own lifespan. Therefore, he didn't leave. He continued to circle above the sea, scanning the area with his Divine Sense. He was determined to kill Zhang Bin and seize all his treasures.
Heh heh, you're still far from my level if you think you can fight me.
Zhang Bin sneered inwardly. The text messages had, of course, been sent by Tutu at his command. The ruse had worked perfectly. Now, with only Tanikawa left chasing him, things were much easier.
He quickly moved onto Xiao Jin's back, placing his hands on the chests of Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue to transfer his Longevity Qi to them. Longevity Qi had miraculous abilities, including extending a person's life. Thus, Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, who had been on the verge of collapsing, quickly recovered. Gratitude and elation showed on their faces. This meant they could hold on much longer. Perhaps they could truly escape the enemy's encirclement and find safety.
Xiao Jin was also using every ounce of its strength. Its speed was far greater than Xiao Xuanzi's. As a result, even without carrying a passenger, Xiao Xuanzi could barely keep up.
WHOOSH...
Like an arrow, Xiao Jin shot through the water, slicing through the waves. It covered several thousand meters in the blink of an eye. With another flick of its tail, it shot forward several thousand meters more.
About ten minutes later, they were already a hundred miles away. By this point, Zhang Bin and his companions couldn't hold their breath any longer, so Xiao Jin cautiously surfaced.
The three of them greedily gasped for air. Surprise and joy lit up their faces. Incredibly, Tanikawa hadn't detected them. Clearly, Tanikawa hadn't expected them to be so fast or to be able to stay underwater for so long. He was still searching near their previous location.
"We're safe now," Zhang Bin said confidently. "We'll be able to escape completely soon."
His confidence stemmed from the fact that Tanikawa was carrying a cell phone that Tutu had hacked. This allowed them to track his location. Meanwhile, they could continue to travel stealthily underwater. With only Tanikawa to worry about, they could definitely escape.
"That's great!" Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue exclaimed with joy.
Soon, Xiao Jin and Xiao Xuanzi dove back underwater and continued their swift journey. They put more and more distance between themselves and Tanikawa. After surfacing for air a few more times, they finally returned to Chinese waters. After about ten more breath breaks, they arrived in the sea near Great Green Mountain.
Meanwhile, Tanikawa was still hundreds of kilometers away, frantically searching with his Divine Sense.
Once they were ashore, they scurried into the dense forests of Great Green Mountain. As soon as they entered the area protected by the Array Plate, they were completely safe. Zhang Bin had everyone sit down to rest. Wear yourself out, you old fossil, he sneered inwardly. When I grow stronger, I'll come back to kill you. All your treasures will be mine.
He was even hoping Tanikawa would follow them here. Then, he could use the Formation to kill him.
Unfortunately, even by dawn, Tanikawa had not shown up. Instead, it seemed he had given up and returned with his head hanging low. He knew that Zhang Bin's group had completely escaped. Searching for them in Chinese territory would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Besides, the Chinese Cultivators would not just stand by and watch.
You got lucky this time, Zhang Bin thought resentfully.
In reality, he could have tried to lure the old man over. But if Tanikawa was cautious enough to spot the Formation and refused to enter, Zhang Bin would not only fail to kill him but also expose his trump card. That would be a terrible outcome. Therefore, he decided against it, choosing to wait until he was stronger to deal with his enemy.
