Lin Hao's thoughts raced. Escaping from the woman's clutches was no easy task. If he continued moving forward, he would surely alert the woman.
At this moment, Lin Hao took out a spell book from his chest. This spell book came from the Holy Heaven Sect, and it contained a sealed Wild Spirit Body. If he released the Wild Spirit Body from the spell book, it could indeed cause some trouble for the woman.
However, although the Wild Spirit Body was powerful, it could probably only withstand one strike from the woman. If he were to use the Wild Spirit Body to fight the woman, it would be unrealistic.
Lin Hao had little confidence. If he released the Wild Spirit Body and failed to escape, and was instead caught by the woman, the consequences would be unimaginable. She might kill him in a fit of anger.
"Regardless... whether I go forward or backward, I will die. I might as well take a chance." A cold light flashed in Lin Hao's eyes, and then a realm of thought emerged as he began to unlock the spell book.
Unfortunately, this Wild Spirit Body was the first one Lin Hao had obtained. In the future, when his strength reached a certain level, he could tame the Wild Spirit Body, but for now, Lin Hao could only choose to sacrifice such a combat force.
Lin Hao stealthily placed the spell book at the entrance of the cave, calculating the time it would take to unlock the seal. He needed to escape a few seconds before the Wild Spirit Body was fully released, otherwise, he might also be affected and crushed into pieces by the Wild Spirit Body's impact.
"Five"
"Four"
"Three"
...
"One"
Escape!
When Lin Hao counted to one in his mind, he moved like a swift leopard, using the fastest speed he had ever achieved to flee into the darkness ahead.
In that second, the *Cloud Wind Step* reached its peak, leaving a trail of overlapping afterimages in the air, but the real Lin Hao was nowhere to be seen.
Soon, a series of earth-shattering roars came from behind. The Wild Spirit Body broke free, its blood-red eyes scanning the surroundings, and its violent aura seemed to tear the world apart.
Then, the Wild Spirit Body's gaze turned to the cave, and its right arm, like a pillar supporting the sky, slammed into the cave entrance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cave collapsed under the Wild Spirit Body's attack, burying everything.
...
Lin Hao did not look back. The impact of the Wild Spirit Body was too great, and if he had been any slower, he might have been injured by the aftermath.
He also knew that even if the cave collapsed, the woman would not be harmed.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, the Wild Spirit Body let out a roar, and its mountain-like body exploded into pieces.
Hearing this, Lin Hao's brows furrowed. He knew the Wild Spirit Body would be killed by the woman, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
After a dozen breaths, Lin Hao reached a canyon.
The mountains were silent, the moon was a hook, and the cold stars were scattered across the sky like chess pieces. Moonlight filtered through the clouds, casting light into the valley.
There were many streams and towering trees around, and if there were no fierce beasts or demonic beasts, it could be called a paradise.
"The woman mentioned that her divine soul was damaged..." Lin Hao's lips curled slightly. In that case, he was safe. The woman had to rely on her eyes to find people and could not use her divine soul to spy. How could she find him?
However, Lin Hao did not let his guard down and continued to run at full speed.
On the way, two ordinary mid-level fierce beasts suddenly appeared. Lin Hao killed them with a single thought.
There were not many fierce beasts in the valley, and they did not affect Lin Hao's speed. After half an hour, Lin Hao reached the center of the valley, near a small stream.
At night, fierce beasts and demonic beasts were active. Lin Hao did not dare to rush recklessly. If he accidentally encountered a demonic beast, it would be even more terrifying than the woman.
Lin Hao sat by the stream, drank some water, and looked around cautiously.
"She probably won't come after me." Lin Hao sighed in relief. The Hundred Refinements Mountain Range was vast, and the woman did not use her divine soul to spy or lock onto him. How could she find him with just her eyes?
Lin Hao planned to spend the night in the mountains and decide what to do the next morning. If he did not return to Flowing Cloud City, he would go to Gray Wolf County. After all, it was the time when demonic beasts and fierce beasts were active, and with his current strength, he would find it hard to survive if he encountered one.
Just as Lin Hao was about to find a place to rest, a soft and charming voice sounded in his ear.
"You have quite a bit of courage."
Hearing this, Lin Hao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. It was the woman's voice!
At this moment, the woman was about thirty meters away, walking lightly toward Lin Hao.
Seeing the woman, Lin Hao's head almost exploded. He was incredibly puzzled. How did she find him?!
Without using her divine soul to spy or locking onto him with her aura, finding one person in the vast mountains was like finding a needle in the sea.
Lin Hao smelled a faint fragrance, and the woman was already in front of him.
"What do you plan to do with me?" The woman did not move, her extremely lively and beautiful eyes examining Lin Hao.
Lin Hao's thoughts raced. After a while, he put on an innocent look and said, "Sister, can you blame me? When you were sleeping, a Wild Spirit Body suddenly attacked. If I didn't run, I would have been crushed to death."
"Still trying to argue." The woman's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she threw the spell book at Lin Hao's feet. "You released the Wild Spirit Body and dared to deceive me."
Lin Hao knew it was bad. The unremarkable spell book had been seen through by the woman. Now, he had no way to explain.
Seeing Lin Hao remain silent, the woman sneered, "Admit it?"
Lin Hao looked at the woman and said, "I'm just curious. Your divine soul is damaged, and you can't use it to spy. You didn't lock onto me with your aura. How did you find me?"
"There is a mark on you. Within a thousand miles, the mark will not fail." Surprisingly, the woman explained to Lin Hao.
A mark of aura...
Lin Hao shook his head. He had calculated everything but had not considered the mark of aura. This time, he might be in trouble. If he had known, he might not have tried to escape.
"Since you like to run, I'll cut off your legs and see how you run then." The woman's cold gaze fell on Lin Hao's legs, and she raised her hand to strike.
Without hesitation, Lin Hao jumped into the stream.
Waiting to die was not Lin Hao's style. Even if he could not escape, he would still fight.
"Still trying to run." The woman raised her arm, and Lin Hao, who was swimming deeper into the stream, was suddenly controlled by an invisible force. It was as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed him, lifting him out of the stream and floating him in the air.
"Brat, keeping you around is a disaster." The woman's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she seemed to have the intention to kill.
"Who said I wanted to stay with you?" Lin Hao looked at the woman without fear.
Since he could not escape, and his life was no longer in his hands, why should he be afraid of death?
"Sharp-tongued, you really aren't afraid of death." The woman said coldly.
"Of course, I'm afraid of death, but why should I be afraid of a woman?" Lin Hao sneered, almost tearing off his mask.
"I'll spare your life for now, but I'll cut off your legs." As the woman spoke, blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the invisible force that bound Lin Hao dissipated.
After landing, Lin Hao looked at the woman. She was seriously injured, with severe toxins in her body, and her injuries were starting to flare up due to excessive use of her strength.
A look of pain flashed in the woman's phoenix-like eyes. Her body curled up slightly, looking like a delicate and beautiful fairy.
"So, you're not going to kill me?" Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh. At this critical moment, the woman's injuries flared up, and she probably didn't even have the strength to lift her hand. Any fierce beast that appeared could devour her.
A gentleman does not let a grudge go unavenged. Lin Hao had no grudge against her, but she had treated him cruelly. This was a good opportunity to take revenge. If he didn't, he wouldn't be Lin Hao.
At this moment, Lin Hao walked to the woman, a cold smile on his face, and leaned over her. Their eyes met, and they were so close that they could feel each other's breath. The woman's alluring scent...
"Here I am, come and kill me." Lin Hao deliberately sniffed the alluring scent on the woman's chest and then taunted her.
The woman's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but more blood overflowed.
"I gave you a chance. If you don't kill me now, I'll kill you." Lin Hao touched the woman's white, tender cheek, his eyes filled with a wicked light.
"You... what... are you... going to... do..." The woman's breathing was rapid, and her long-suppressed injuries suddenly flared up, leaving her without the strength to lift her hand.
"What am I going to do?" Lin Hao smiled wickedly. "You've tortured me so much. Now, shouldn't you compensate me?"
Hearing this, the woman's expression changed. She had seen this look many times, but this was the first time she was in a position where she couldn't move.
Soon, Lin Hao's gaze moved to the woman's beautiful upper body, then shifted downward.
"You... dare..." The woman bit her lip, wishing she could tear the young man in front of her into pieces.
She had never been so humiliated, being straddled by a stranger who was openly examining her sensitive areas.
"Afraid?" Lin Hao smirked. "What am I afraid of? After I enjoy myself, I'll kill you. What can you do?"
As he spoke, Lin Hao's right hand reached out toward the woman's chest, but just as he was about to succeed, he stopped, staring at the woman with a cold smile. "It's a pity, I have no interest in you... You look familiar. I won't kill you today. I'll leave you here. If you get eaten by a fierce beast, it's your own fault."
Hearing this, the woman was both ashamed and angry. He was straddling her and said he had no interest in her!
Then, Lin Hao stood up and said, "What's your name? Who are your ancestors?"
From the moment he saw the woman, Lin Hao had found her familiar. Perhaps he had some connection with her ancestors.
However, the woman did not speak, showing no intention of answering Lin Hao.
Lin Hao did not force her and said, "Your luck is not bad. Perhaps I have some connection with your ancestors. Otherwise, you would not have survived today."
