"Damn it, this kid is doing it on purpose! He's deliberately waiting for the forbidden drug's power to run out, and then he'll make his move!"
"We can't stay here and waste our strength, or we're dead for sure. We need to get out of here—now!" Liu Xiaoyao was the first to recover, secretly transmitting his voice to the other three.
"Son of a bitch, that damn bastard is pulling a stunt like this!" Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyao's transmission, Song Qingfeng and the others finally caught on. Without another word, they spun around and bolted for the horizon.
"Running away, are we? Hmph! You think you can escape?"
Chu Feng let out a cold snort at the sight and drove the Azure Dragon in pursuit of the four.
"Why are they running? Don't tell me those four geniuses can't beat Chu Feng even after popping forbidden pills?"
Everyone watching the scene unfold was completely bewildered.
Unfortunately, not a single person present had reached the Heaven Martial Realm, so they could only watch helplessly as Chu Feng and the others flew off into the distance. Many shook their heads and sighed in regret.
"Damn it, stop following us!"
By now, Liu Xiaoyao and the others had already flown far from the Drunken Paradise, but Chu Feng was glued to their sides. No matter how they changed direction, they simply couldn't shake him. In a straight speed contest, Chu Feng was faster than all of them—how could they possibly escape?
"Hahaha! Don't run, you turtle grandsons! Just wait and see how your grandpa handles you!" Chu Feng laughed heartily, weaving around the four of them while hurling insults. He even shamelessly made faces and threw up rude hand gestures in their direction.
"Chu Feng, you'd better pray you never fall into my hands, or I'll make you wish you were dead!" Song Qingfeng and the others were grinding their teeth with fury. They knew exactly why Chu Feng was tailing them—obviously, he was waiting for the drug's effects to wear off and the backlash to hit before striking.
In desperation, the four of them launched attacks at Chu Feng along the way, but they simply couldn't land a hit.
Chu Feng, for his part, had considered using the Asura Ghost Axe's power, combined with his absolute speed, to catch them off guard and cut them down before they could react.
But the problem was, while the Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens was fast, it couldn't maneuver as freely as the Void Flight Technique. For fleeing and pursuit it worked fine, but in close-range combat, it was far too cumbersome. Sneak attacks were nearly impossible to pull off, and each attempt ended in failure.
And so Chu Feng and Liu Xiaoyao's group chased and fled from one another across the sky, going back and forth for a full half-hour.
Finally, Liu Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and transmitted to the other three: "This can't go on. All four of us will die at Chu Feng's hands if we keep this up. We split up—at least three of us will survive that way."
With that, Liu Xiaoyao pivoted and took off in a completely different direction. Bai Yunfei and Tang Yixiu followed close behind, each veering off on their own course.
"Damn it!" Song Qingfeng was too slow to react. By the time he realized what had happened, the other three were already far away.
When he turned to look back, he discovered with despair that Chu Feng was still right on his tail. His rage spiked to the point of near madness, and he roared: "They all got away! Why don't you go chase them? Why the hell are you still stuck to me?"
"Because you, you turtle grandson, cursed your grandpa the loudest. Don't worry—your grandpa here is going to take you out first. One day, those three turtle brothers of yours will join you down below." Chu Feng grinned as he spoke, but his eyes glinted with unmistakable killing intent.
"Damn it! If you've got the guts, stop running and fight me head-on!" Song Qingfeng howled in fury.
"No, no, no—you're the grandson, I'm the grandpa. Beating up my own grandson wouldn't be fair." Chu Feng shook his head.
"Son of a bitch! Stop right there—stop running!" Song Qingfeng screamed, unleashing a barrage of attacks at Chu Feng in midair.
