"Puff..."
Ou Yangming stabbed his dagger at the wound on the big multicolored tiger's neck. The big tiger's body quality was so mighty that nothing could penetrate its skip apart from a magic tool. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not stab his dagger at the tiger's skin; he prodded its broken head's wound with the weapon.
Therefore, the dagger was thrust into the big tiger without any resistance.
Next, endless energy from the beast's flesh and blood instantly gushed into ou Yangming's body.
His eyes lit up all of a sudden, and the veins on his face were bulging. It was not due to exhaustion nor nervousness, but because the energy that gushed into his body in that short period was too powerful, hence the effect was so intense.
The absorption of energy from flesh and blood to be transformed into one's Qi and blood was an enjoyable process.
One would be immersed in it as though opium was being had.
Ou Yangming looked like he was addicted, but he immediately regained his senses and gritted his teeth to pull out the dagger.
The unknown Supreme Great Ancestor had been pursuing Ou Yangming persistently for more than an hour. Although the great ancestor was not fast, it was enough for him to follow closely behind Ou Yangming such that the young fellow could not get rid of his pursuer no matter how hard he tried.
Ou Yangming's equipment set was attached with Unique Attributes, which gave him less burden, but it was inevitable that he became physically tired after a long time. Nevertheless, after absorbing the big multicolored tiger's energy through its flesh and blood, Ou Yangming immediately became high-spirited again as if he was reborn; he was no longer weary.
This was the wonderful effect of a formidable creature's flesh and blood, which was far greater than a normal ferocious beast's. Not only would one's Qi, blood, and physical power would be recovered, but even one's spirit would become livelier.
The mental power consumed for constantly being in the integration of Heaven and man and the thoroughly meticulous state would be fully recovered to the peak state.
Ou Yangming curled his lips into a smile because he vaguely guessed the powerhouse's intention after noticing he was controlling his speed on purpose.
"The Supreme Great Ancestor is thinking about capturing me once I'm exhausted. '
Without the big multicolored tiger on his back, Ou Yangming would have been at a loss. He could only stop and attempt to fight while he was still full of energy and spirit.
'But now...
'Heh, let's see who can keep going until the end. '
Ou Yangming gathered his energy and vaguely sensed a substantial conception in the deepest part of his consciousness.
Following that, he slightly adjusted his course and dashed in that direction.
Needless to say, Ou Yangming did not accelerate; he made a slight adjustment according to his pursuer's speed. This was because he wanted to give a deep impression.
Escaping and escaping...
Pursuing and pursuing...
The chase lasted for a day and a night.
By now, the Supreme Great Ancestor behind Ou Yangming no longer looked scornful.
He was regretful when he looked with a dark face at the energetic figure in front of him.
The great ancestor only had one question in his mind, 'What exactly is this young fella made of?'
The young fellow had not rested even for a short while throughout the day and the night, and he simply ran wild on the main road. Even the great ancestor did not have the endurance to travel 500 kilometers in a day.
In actual fact, the elder had already sensed half a day ago that something was off, thus he sped up to take the young fellow down as soon as possible. Despite that, each time he accelerated, the young fellow in front of him increased his speed too like a frightened bird.
With that, after having closed the gap between them, the elder could only watch helplessly as the distance between them grew larger once more.
The great ancestor even thought about giving up but after hesitating for some time, he forced himself to continue hunting the young fellow.
He had to capture Ou Yangming to find the whereabouts of his missing treasures.
The sinister-looking elder gritted his teeth and retrieved a jade bottle with reluctance, but he quickly crushed the bottle and consumed the only pill inside it.
Once the pill was consumed, it transformed into a hot current that surged into his stomach right away. Next, the great ancestor became more spirited, and he yelled and charged at Ou Yangming at the speed of light. There was a huge disparity between his previous speed and his current speed.
It was unbelievable that he could still burst at such speed after having traveled without a break for a day and a night.
The distance between the two men was drawn closer again, and the sudden change was far beyond one's imagination.
A hideous look could be seen on the elder's face, and he reached out his hand to touch Ou Yangming's shoulder.
Given the distance, the elder believed that Ou Yangming would not be able to escape unless he had a pair of wings.
However, the elder widened his eyes at the next instant.
He realized that his fingers did not get closer to Ou Yangming's shoulder even when he had gotten faster.
The elder's hand was only a finger away from the young fellow's shoulder, but it soon became further again at an inconceivable speed.
He was a mighty Supreme Great Ancestor who had experienced countless hardships in life, but he had never seen such a speedy flight technique.
It seemed like Ou Yangming was indeed given wings to fly away in the blink of an eye.
The elder stopped and looked dumbfoundedly at Ou Yangming as he mumbled, "Impossible... How is this possible?"
He looked down at his fingers and thought, 'I activated a considerable amount of essential Qi earlier, but why was he able to flee as if nothing happened? Was he not injured at all? But according to the power that I've released earlier, even a top-notch armor can't resist it. '
The great ancestor squinted his eyes and noticed the tiny figure at the boundary of his vision had stopped, and it seemed to be standing still without moving an inch.
He was struck with a thought as he recalled the two badges that he gave to Zhang Yinli.
There were countless legends about the badges, where one of them was about a skill that could activate one's Qi and blood to allow one to fly 500 kilometers away in a split second.
Of course, the supposed 500 kilometers was only an exaggeration; a few kilometers was possible.
Besides, once a person employed that skill, his or her Qi and blood would be emptied, which would result in exhaustion.
The elder's body trembled a little as an insuppressible thought crossed his mind. 'Could that young fella have fathomed the badges' secret?
'If that's the case... If I can also grasp the secret... '
The elder began to imagine things. He gritted his teeth and looked sharp again, and he was committed to catching the young fellow even if he had to go to the ends of the Earth.
This was because the young fellow was likely his ticket to the path of supremacy.
The elder traveled briskly again as he was in high spirits.

Ou Yangming's consciousness had already risen to the extreme, and it was controlling the Blood Flight's direction and distance.
If another person had performed the Blood Flight Technique, he or she would naturally stop after having used up Qi and blood. While one would not be feeble, one could not make strenuous movements for some time. That said, Ou Yangming's mental power was powerful, and he had arrived and passed the stage of being able to control the Blood Flight Art. Hence, as he managed the technique, he forced himself to stop when only half of his Qi and blood were consumed.
Ou Yangming turned to look and estimated the distance between him and his enemy, and a fierce look could be seen in his eyes.
'Old fella, come if you'd like to pursue melet's see who will be killed in the end!'
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was shocked when he glanced at his shoulder.
He was too careless. After all, the old man was an Extreme Grade powerhouse, who had incredible tricks and foundation.
The power that was suddenly released by the elder after a whole day of pursuit could not be treated lightly.
Though the elder's fingermark could not be seen on Ou Yangming's armor, which was at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five, the peculiar power could penetrate the armor to crush his shoulder.
The soft and reserved power was so violent that it was appalling.
If it was not for the Substitution Power that was automatically activated from Ou Yangming's waist sash, the situation would have ended differently.
The elder's power would be ineffective against the big multicolored tiger, but it could be used to restrain a martial artist.
Ou Yangming scoffed and pulled out his dagger to stab it hard at the big tiger's neck. Massive energy from its flesh and blood gushed into the young fellow's body to replenish his loss.
As he inhaled deeply, his essence, energy, and spirit were recovered to their optimum level.
Having the carcass of a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast was equivalent to possessing plenty of spiritual pills, which could be used to recover his physical strength and energy.
At the very least, nobody could catch up to Ou Yangming before the beast's carcass was fully used.
A faint red light was seen on his waist sash, and the Substitution Gem also became normal again after Ou Yangming refilled his Qi and blood.
The only price that was paid was the big multicolored tiger's body, which became smaller.
Even then, Ou Yangming did not feel upset at all.
He quietly waited until the elder got closer to him again, then he jumped and escaped desperately as if he had just noticed the elder's presence.
The elder staggered, and his face twitched. 𝘧𝔯𝐞𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝐧o𝘷e𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
Although he did not slow down and was constantly following Ou Yangming closely, deep down he was growling. 'This fella really isn't tired from running... '
