Chapter 593: Chapter 380: Pursuit_2

Cangdu had no city walls, so the view outside the city was directly visible.

"About a hundred kilometers away."

Ji Xinghuo looked back at the place where he was surrounded. Although he was already far enough, he was still within Cangdu.

With the Dragon Lord’s heaven-reaching methods, they would certainly find a way to follow the traces of the jump transitions.

This was knowledge he had just read in the stone slips.

"Better to run first."

In invisibility, Ji Xinghuo took off and flew southward from Cangdu.

He didn’t attempt to jump transition again. Although he was more than ninety-nine percent sure that activating the Wanxiang Star Pupil would allow him to teleport successfully, it would leave traces. If the Dragon Lord of the Canghuo Territory discovered that he was unaffected by the space lockdown, it could instead attract even more attention.

By that time, he would be pursued by a Dragon Marquis and two fifth-rank Dragon Lords. Perhaps even the Canghuo Dragon King would take action.

During invisibility, Ji Xinghuo’s flying speed was not fast.

The "invisibility" provided by the Flashing Battle Boots was much stronger than the "refraction" of the Stealth Ring, capable of even concealing magnetic fields.

But making too much noise would still reveal his presence to others.

Besides, Ji Xinghuo did not fly too high. Using buildings for cover and constantly scanning his surroundings with electromagnetic induction to avoid all mutants of the fourth rank and above, whether Dragon Lords or other alien races, he lowered the chances of his invisibility being seen through.

A few minutes of low-speed flight.

Ji Xinghuo traveled silently through the city for more than ten kilometers and was now nearing the edge of Cangdu’s urban area.

Above the sky, Canghuo Dragons roared as they flew past.

There were also numerous aliens wearing armor bearing the Canghuo Family crest patrolling back and forth in the sky, their eyes bright as electricity, scanning every corner. Clearly, they were searching for him, and their numbers were increasing.

In the distance, more Dragon Lords mounted on Canghuo Dragons were rushing over, gathering to the south of Cangdu.

"They know I’ve jumped transitioned here."

"Such a quick response!"

Ji Xinghuo was inwardly shocked, yet he did not panic.

Because he had already reached the edge of Cangdu, and those searching Dragon Lords were still some distance away, he maintained a steady low altitude and flew out of Cangdu. Using the terrain and vegetation, he continued on for several kilometers and finally left the area affected by the space lockdown.

Wanxiang Star Pupil looked around, space had returned to normal.

"Now it’s possible."

Ji Xinghuo hid in a civilian house and took out the Jump Crystal again, activating it. After a flash of light, he disappeared from the spot.

"I can use it two more times."

He looked at the Jump Crystal in his hand and after considering it, teleported once more.

After four jump transitions, Ji Xinghuo was now more than two hundred kilometers away. He saved the last jump transition for a lifesaving moment.

Ji Xinghuo looked around and found that he was on a high plateau.

Cangdu was built on this high plateau, surrounded by many towns. He identified the direction and continued flying, speeding up but still maintaining invisibility to avoid detection.

In the high sky, Ji Xinghuo flew as fast as lightning.

"Coming out of Cangdu is the Qingliang Plateau, leaving the plateau and heading east, about twenty-five thousand kilometers away, I should enter Tungshan Territory and be safe."

"Past Tungshan Territory is the Yuan Magnetic Territory."

Ji Xinghuo planned out his route in his mind, but he still didn’t understand how he had been exposed.

The most likely possibilities were two places.

One was the Public Array, where the fake identity he provided might have been seen through.

But the leader had said that the members’ information of each True Dragon Family was not shared. The True Dragon Dynasty could reach most places within its territory quickly through jump arrays but the transfer of information had delays and was not as convenient and fast as the Galaxy’s internet.

Moreover, not every Dragon Territory got along well, and the True Dragon Families would not share their family information publicly.

Even if someone could discover it, it would take a long time.

This was only a few hours later...

"Hasn’t it been said that the Canghuo Family and the Titanium Cobalt Family of Yuan Magnetic Territory don’t have such a close relationship?" Ji Xinghuo recalled the books he had read. In history, these two Dragon King Families had not had much interaction and sometimes even conflicted with each other.

Unless he was extremely unlucky, and there happened to be someone from the Titanium Cobalt Family in Cangdu who directly uncovered him.

The second possibility of being exposed was at the bookstore.

Although I bought those stone slips at the time, mixing them with many other books, it was indeed somewhat strange for a True Dragon person to purchase so many historical and geographical books.

If the bookstore employees were to report it, and they tracked it back to me, it could indeed lead to exposure.

"Damn it..."

Ji Xinghuo sighed inwardly.

"Once I’m safe, I won’t impersonate a True Dragon person anymore." He somewhat regretted it, as he had originally intended to take advantage of the status of the True Dragon people for convenience but didn’t expect it to bring such big trouble.

After flying hundreds of kilometers in one go, Ji Xinghuo gradually felt at ease.

What he was most worried about was the Dragon King taking action.

As long as the Dragon King didn’t come, even if it was the strongest Dragon Marquis, it was only at the Heavenly King Third Dan; I could always escape if I couldn’t fight.

Suddenly, a sense of alarm emerged.

Ji Xinghuo looked back toward the direction of Cangdu, a black dot was rapidly approaching, growing larger in his field of vision, revealing its outline. It was a massive Canghuo Dragon, its scales blue and white, its physique longer than that of ordinary Canghuo Dragons, and its wings burned with white flames, like a giant fire meteor flying towards him.

"Such fast speed!"

Ji Xinghuo was shocked, but what surprised him even more was that the Dragon Lord riding on the back of this Canghuo Dragon could actually see him.

It was a very young Dragon Lord, handsome and cold in appearance, wearing a robe, and his skin was the same blue and white as his dragon, with long grey-white hair fluttering behind him, and eyes like fire that seemed to see through the essence of everything. When Ji Xinghuo looked back, their gazes collided for a moment.

With just one look, Ji Xinghuo understood.

"True Eye."

This Dragon Lord, like Zhao Manying, possessed the "True Eye," rendering stealth in front of him completely ineffective.

"He just won’t give up..."

Ji Xinghuo felt a chill in his heart; even from tens of kilometers away, he could tell that this was a Dragon Marquis, extremely powerful.

The career of a Dragon Lord had limitless potential.

From the beginning, they derived strength and abilities from the True Dragon as a starting point for their own evolution, already stronger and faster than other Mutants.

After three or four evolutions, the relationship between the Dragon Lord and the True Dragon became stable, inseparable, with their own strength enough and then they could choose their direction of evolution, just like advancing in their careers; Dragon Lords also could select abilities from various aspects.

As the Dragon Lord evolved, they cultivated their True Dragon to evolve together.

Complementary to each other, making up for weaknesses.

Generally, by the Sixth Rank, after becoming a Dragon Marquis, even among Dragon Lords of the same family, their abilities were not completely identical, there inevitably were differences.

Of course, Dragon Lords could also choose not to advance in their profession but to seek a second True Dragon to obtain the strength and abilities of other True Dragon bloodlines, but such "Dual Dragon Masters" were very rare and not mainstream.

This Dragon Lord who was chasing after me had chosen the first path.

His Canghuo Dragon was clearly trained in the direction of speed, merging several speed-type Alien Species, hence its extremely fast flying speed.

However, compared to Ji Xinghuo, it was still far behind; it was only because I was in stealth mode and couldn’t fly at full strength.

"I must shake him off."

Ji Xinghuo was about to disregard his stealth and speed up, but then considered that the pursuer must have tracking methods; simply shaking him off would be useless.

If I couldn’t prevent his approach, more enemies would soon catch up.

As he was contemplating, the distance between them grew closer.

The Canghuo Dragon let out a Dragon Roar, the white flames on its body surged, and it accelerated again. Ji Xinghuo could now see it clearly; it was over sixty meters long, and a True Dragon’s strength was proportional to its size—the larger the body, the greater the strength. This Canghuo Dragon was an Earthquake Level True Dragon!

Twenty kilometers, fifteen kilometers, ten kilometers...

Ji Xinghuo maintained his speed, pretending to have exhausted all his strength, and a few minutes later, the Canghuo Dragon caught up within five kilometers.

He pulled out the Spiritual String Song, using his body to block it.

Myriad Phenomena!

Spiritual Power String was pulled on the ring on his right hand, the Star Power infused wing-shaped bow and an "Chain Arrow," radiant with electric light, took shape on the string, much larger and longer than the regular Arc Arrow, the shaft divided into five sections, consuming a total of 2000 Star Power points.

As he drew the string, Ji Xinghuo suddenly turned around to fly backward, the pursuing Canghuo Dragon behind him moved slower in his vision, like a slow-motion scene.

He aimed at the Dragon Lord on the dragon’s back, the image frozen, and released the bowstring.

Hum!

A light and melodious song rang out as the arrow flew forth.
