C114 Take It as a Road

Think of it as a road.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Empress's orders were not to be disobeyed, if he couldn't even do something like this, the Empress would definitely be furious at him.

Thus, he could only put his life on the line and use the method of burning his blood essence to forcefully increase his speed. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to catch up with Long Xiaotian's authentic afterimage.

He also felt that it was strange. Even if Long Xiaotian used the same method as him, he wouldn't have such a high speed.

Exhausting blood essence was a method that could forcefully increase one's potential, but it would cause great damage to one's body.

Blood essence wasn't ordinary blood. Ordinary cultivators had three drops. If all three drops were used, one would die after a short period of improvement. This was the reason why no cultivator dared to use it carelessly.

Using two or one drop could save one's life, but one's cultivation would be greatly reduced later on.

Now, Jing Gong had only used one drop of blood essence. It was barely enough to ensure that Long Xiaotian did not lose it. However, if Long Xiaotian could maintain such a fast speed, he did not know if he should burn the second drop of blood essence as well.

If he burned the second drop of blood essence, he might still be able to keep his life, but his realm would drop drastically. At that time, Jing Gong's years of painstaking cultivation would be in vain.

Finally, he saw Long Xiaotian stop. He stood in front of Long Xiaotian fiercely and blocked his path.

"Jing Gong, you must be tired as well. Why do you have to work so hard? Can we have a good chat?" Long Xiaotian was thinking about how to get out of this predicament while discussing with Jing Gong.

"Kid, this old servant will beat you to death today!" Jing Gong raised his left palm with a face full of killing intent. When he thought about the Tibetan Gold Bag, he also threw it away. He had also used up a drop of blood essence. This would make it difficult for him to recover to the Spirit Dao Realm in a short period of time. He had to blame this kid!

"I'll run, I'll run, I'll run!" Long Xiaotian wouldn't be this stupid. He knew that Jing Gong was going to attack him in an instant, so he immediately turned around and fled.

Jing Gong thought that Long Xiaotian had no other choice but to fight him, but this brat didn't even want to fight him. After a moment of hesitation, he continued to chase after Long Xiaotian.

This time, Long Xiaotian's speed wasn't as fast as before. Just as Jing Gong was about to catch up to Long Xiaotian, he suddenly saw Long Xiaotian and cried out in surprise, "Big brother, come and save me!"

At first, Jing Gong thought that it was another trick of Long Xiaotian, but after taking a closer look, he realized that a group of people had arrived, and they were here to fight Long Xiaotian.

This kid also had accomplices! Without thinking, Jing Gong sent out a palm strike.

In fact, the person Long Xiaotian met wasn't his big brother, but an acquaintance of Long Xiaotian. In other words, it was the group of people from the Dazhi Dynasty Prince, Qi Lian's group.

Since these people had come with a purpose, they naturally couldn't hide behind the imperial city and wait for an opportunity to strike. The reason why they appeared was because they had just returned from the imperial palace.

Their goal was to cause internal strife within the Great Qian Dynasty, and the most direct method was to kill Second Prince Long Ao Tian, who was currently in charge of the Imperial City.

Killing Long Aotian would definitely cause chaos in the Imperial City. When the news reached Dragon City, Dragon City would definitely be thrown into chaos. This way, it would be a piece of cake for Da Qi Kingdom to win.

However, they realized that it was easier said than done to kill Long Aotian. He didn't even have an ordinary Spirit Dao Realm expert by his side, and in the Imperial Palace, let alone a low level Spirit Dao Realm expert, there was even a peak Spirit Dao Realm expert.

Although the Emperor, Long Jiuzhou, and the Crown Prince had left, there were still experts protecting the Inner Palace. Although the Great General, Lin Wushuang, was also a peak Spirit Dao Realm expert, he couldn't always stay in the Inner Palace.

Thus, it was certain that there were still very powerful experts guarding the Inner Palace, and Qi Lian discovered that the matter of him assassinating Second Prince Long Ao Tian was too simple.

However, Qi Lian still thought of a way. He heard that the Imperial City was organizing a hunt recently, and the location was in the Longyang Mountains's Royal Hunting Field. At that time, he might have a chance.

They were preparing to go back and discuss this matter when they suddenly saw a person running over like a shooting star. From the sound of it, they could tell that it was actually Long Xiaotian!

Long Xiaotian left a very deep impression on Qi Lian. There were not many people who could make him suffer losses, and even fewer people of the same age as him. Long Xiaotian was one of them.

If he had mistakenly thought that Long Xiaotian was Zha Ke, it could be said that he had been misled by the jade pendant. However, Long Xiaotian was able to take the Herba Polygoni multiflorum away from his body without anyone noticing, which made him wonder.

He was shocked by Long Xiaotian's method of taking the Herba Polygoni multiflorum away. At that time, he didn't feel anything at all. If Long Xiaotian had killed him, he wouldn't have been able to defend himself at all.

He also wanted to ask how Long Xiaotian did it. It didn't make sense for Long Xiaotian to leave him alive even though he knew his identity.

Long Xiaotian's subsequent performance also made Qi Lian look at him in a new light. He felt that Long Xiaotian was a very dangerous man. The reason why Long Aotian was his target was because Long Aotian was currently in charge of the Imperial City.

The reason why Long Xiaotian made him vigilant was not because of his identity, but because of Long Xiaotian's every move.

However, his current goal was still Long Aotian, so if he wanted to deal with Long Xiaotian, he had to do it after he achieved his goal.

However, he really didn't expect to meet Long Xiaotian. This fellow even affectionately called him Big Brother. This made the shrewd Qi Lian unable to react for a moment.

Without giving him time to react, Jing Gong struck out with his palm, shocking Qi Lian. It was actually a Spirit Dao Realm expert!

He hurriedly threw out his fist. Although he had also reached the peak of the Refinement Realm, there was still a huge gap between him and Jing Gong. He was instantly sent flying by Jing Gong's palm.

When Qi Yun and his subordinates saw that the prince was in danger, they couldn't help but be shocked. They attacked together and blocked Jing Gong.

However, compared to the Spirit Dao Realm, their strength was still too weak, and they were quickly defeated.

Fortunately, Jing Gong's objective was to kill Long Xiaotian. Therefore, he didn't do anything to them and just stepped on their bodies.

"Damn it!" Even Qi Lian couldn't help but curse. Although it didn't cause him any more harm, this method still made him feel humiliated.

Who would have thought that just as he got up, he heard someone say "I'm sorry," and then a foot stepped on him, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, this person directly opened a path and left.

It took Qi Lian a long time to get Qiyun and the others to pull him up from the ground. He was so angry that his nose was crooked. Damn it, did he treat his father as a road?
