Chapter 1281: Don’t Run, Brother Hong Dou

An Lin immediately fled toward another direction at the sight of Hong Dou and the double-headed dragon!

Hong Dou called out in an urgent voice upon seeing this, “Don’t abandon me, Mr. An Lin! We know where one of the heavenly peach trees is, and this double-headed dragon is the guardian of that heavenly peach tree!”

Boom!

The spinning top flared up with rage before kicking Hong Dou into the distance. “Go f*ck yourself! How could you disclose that to others?”

Hong Dou retorted with an aggrieved expression, “But if I don’t tell him that, we’re not going to get any help, and we’ll perish to that dragon. Survival is our top priority right now!”

Sure enough, An Lin’s footsteps came to a grinding halt, and he suddenly turned around.

“Don’t panic, Mr. Hong Dou! I’ll come to save you!” He made his way over to them as a powerful aura erupted from his body.

“Look, Mr. An Lin is coming. He’s very powerful, so we’ve got hope now,” Hong Dou spoke with an elated smile.

The spinning top’s lips twitched as it rotated. “You idiot, look what’s behind him!”

“Huh? What is it?” Hong Dou focused his gaze before shuddering. “Holy f*ck! Five monks! This… this…”

“Shut the f*ck up and run!” The spinning top fled from both the dragon and An Lin.

Hong Dou immediately fled in the same direction, and he was on the brink of tears.

What the f*ck! He had thought being chased by a double-headed dragon was bad enough, but An Lin was being chased by five monks! That was an even worse situation than the one they were in!

“Get away from me, An Lin!” Hong Dou roared after discovering An Lin was still following him.

“Don’t you need me to save you, Mr. Hong Dou? How am I going to save you if I get away from you?” An Lin was perplexed.

Hong Dou’s chest constricted as he spoke in a panicked voice, “I don’t need saving anymore!”

“No, you do!” An Lin insisted.

Hong Dou: “…”

An Lin was clearly just “saving” him so that he could find the heavenly peach tree!

“Hong Dou, you piece of sh*t! We had a twenty percent chance of survival, but now, our chances have dropped to less than ten percent!” the spinning top grumbled with an enraged expression.

Hong Dou was also extremely remorseful. How had things become like this?

“I have one final plan. We can split up so that at least one of us survives,” the spinning top suggested.

“Split up? Great idea!” Hong Dou’s eyes lit up with excitement.

“I’ll go this way, you go that way.”

The spinning top immediately fled in a different direction as it spoke.

Thus, the two of them split up.

At the same time, the spinning top was chuckling with glee in its heart.

As soon as they split up, the double-headed dragon would undoubtedly choose to pursue Hong Dou! Hong Dou was the one that had attacked it first, so he was naturally going to bear the brunt of the dragon’s rage!

Hong Dou, you’ll live on in my heart and I’ll work twice as hard to make up for your absence, hahaha…

The spinning top was ecstatic… until it turned around to discover the double-headed dragon pursuing it.

The spinning top: “…”

“Why? Why are you chasing me?!” the spinning top roared with grief and indignation.

The double-headed dragon did not give a reply. However, it had both of its eyes firmly locked on the spinning top with a scorching expression on its face. It had the enthusiasm and obsession of a dog chasing a frisbee…

The spinning top held more temptation to it than the rock golem did!

The spinning top seemed to have also realized this, and it was about to have a mental breakdown. It had reaped what it had sown and screwed itself over while trying to screw Hong Dou over.

On the other side, Hong Dou was very touched by the spinning top’s selfless gesture.

“You’ll live on in my heart, and I’ll work twice as hard to make up for your absence!”

The spinning top had told him that one of them would be able to survive if they split up. It was right. Hong Dou had finally escaped from the double-headed dragon.

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

“Wait for me, Brother Hong Dou!”

Hong Dou turned and almost wept from what he saw. “Who the f*ck is your brother?! Hurry up and get the f*ck away from me! Can’t you see I don’t need to be saved anymore?”

The person beside him was none other than An Lin, and behind him were five benevolent, smiling monks in hot pursuit, all of whom were exuding extremely powerful energy fluctuations!

“No, you do!” An Lin insisted.

Hong Dou: “…”

It looked like the spinning top’s theory that one of them would survive was incorrect after all. In a situation like this, it was pretty much all over for Hong Dou.

Hong Dou was cursing himself. Why did he yell for help from An Lin?

“I beg of you, please let me go!” Hong Dou pleaded.

“Brother Hong Dou, what do you say we team up and kill those five monks behind us?” An Lin suggested. “You know what I’m capable of, right?”

Hong Dou’s fleeing footsteps faltered slightly.

“I can easily beat up Return to Void Stage mighty figures as a Soul Formation Stage cultivator. How do you think I’ll fare against other tenth-stage Dao Body cultivators?” An Lin asked.

Hong Dou came to an abrupt halt as the flames in his chest burned with fighting spirit. “F*ck it, let’s do this! Mr. An Lin, I’ll team up with you!”

An Lin was elated to hear this. “You won’t be sorry for your choice. Let’s go together!”

An insignia of a golden lotus appeared on his forehead as he spoke, and his aura became even more fearsome.

Hong Dou was keen to prove that he was no slouch either, and crimson flames erupted from his entire body. He threw himself at the five monks behind them and let loose an almighty roar.

“Red Lotus Explosion!”

The flames around Hong Dou’s body blossomed like a red lotus before exploding!

Boom!

The air was twisted, and the earth was shattered.

Hong Dou’s explosion created shockwaves that erupted outward in a radius of over a hundred meters.

However, those five monks were not going to be taken down so easily. A golden light appeared on each of their bodies at the same time. Although they were all knocked back by Hong Dou’s attack, all of them remained completely unscathed.

Hong Dou was startled upon seeing this. These monks were even more powerful than he had imagined.

“Dragon Binding Lock!”

“Finger of Divine Power!”

“Great Golden Buddha Seal!”

Three of the monks unleashed attacks toward Hong Dou at once, while the other two were guarding against An Lin.

Golden vital energy locks pierced through the air, and Hong Dou quickly evaded. However, the sharp projection from the Finger of Divine Power pierced through his chest, sending magma gushing forth.

“Ah…!” Hong Dou wailed.

A huge golden palm fell from the sky at this moment, bashing him deep into the ground.

Boom!

The earth was shattered as dust and debris flew through the air.

It was also at this moment that a light breeze swept past.

The eldest monk’s expression shifted drastically. “Be careful!”

“Ah!” At this moment, an anguished cry had already sounded.

A monk’s chest had been punctured by an inky-black sword blade around which streams of white wind revolved.

“Too late. That’s the first one,” An Lin spoke in a cold voice.

A golden protective light suddenly erupted from the monk’s body, and he was summoned back by the divine tool, having clearly been disqualified.

An Lin pulled out his sword, and his body instantly disappeared on the spot again.

He wasn’t expecting Hong Dou to beat any of the monks. He only wanted Hong Dou to attract the attention of the monks and create an opportunity for him to strike!

Boom!

Spell techniques clashed, and another monk was eliminated amid a wail of anguish.

“That’s the second one,” a wraith-like voice sounded.

The other three monks immediately focused all of their attention on An Lin.

“Dragon Binding Lock!”

A series of golden chains erupted forth.

An Lin quickly evaded the chains through the use of extremely agile movement techniques.

He had used the Wind Sword technique twice in quick succession and had depleted almost all of his vital energy as a result. He was only at the tenth-stage Dao Body at the moment, so his vital energy supply simply couldn’t keep up with the demands of the Six Strikes of the War God.

“Golden Wind Buddha.”

“Thousand Buddha Fist.”

The three monks unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks.

An Lin was suddenly in a dire situation and had almost no chance to retaliate.
