Chapter 231
The head of the Chu family sneered, his words dripping with sarcasm. Partly, this was to vent the pent-up fear and anxiety that had plagued him all this time. But more than that, he was hoping to provoke Qi Ping, to slow him down and keep him from actually escaping.
At this moment, though, Qi Ping couldn’t care less about such taunts. His only priority was breaking out of the encirclement.
As soon as the Foundation Establishment cultivators closing in on him saw him trying to flee, they immediately sped up their assault.
“Bee Daoist, you’re not getting away. Surrender now, and we might go easy on you!”
A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the first to block Qi Ping’s path, hurled a mountain-summoning spell his way, cutting off his escape route.
But even he didn’t dare push too hard. Being the first to intercept the Bee Daoist was no small merit, and he was terrified of cornering the man into desperation. What if Qi Ping whipped out a formation to trap him temporarily, then blew himself up right in his face—taking him along for the ride?
After all, the last Bee Daoist had done exactly that.
This Bee Daoist bore a striking resemblance to the previous one. Though there was no way to confirm if they were the same person, the similarities were uncanny: the same bees, the same mastery over formations, and far too many parallels in their methods. The risk was simply too great!
And because of this man’s interference, Qi Ping was forced to stop and take a detour.
