Chapter 1159 - Escaping Tracking
In this lightning domain, Tang Huan's speed was not affected in the slightest, while Nie Zhitong, on the other hand, was constantly being attacked by lightning and the ”Heavenly Lightning Serpent”.
If it were only one or two of these attacks, Nie Zhitong would definitely not have faced any threat. However, they were too concentrated, and even Nie Zhitong would have to be careful in dealing with them. Every time he destroyed a bolt of lightning or killed a ”Heavenly Light Thunder Snake”, his speed would slow down for a moment.
This caused the distance between the two to increase.
However, even if he temporarily left Nie Zhitong behind, Tang Huan still could not completely relax.
Not long after entering the Thunder Dominion, Tang Huan realized that the Mind Stigma in the jade tablet that he had left for Shao Yang had been touched. However, he did not immediately rush over.
In this ”Tong Tian Tower”, only the Lightning Territory could obstruct Nie Zhitong's footsteps, not anywhere else. But to completely avoid being tracked by Nie Zhitong, one had to break the connection between Tang Huan and the ball of aura she had collected. It was very difficult to do this.
Back then, even when Tang Huan had entered the ”Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace”, Geng Wen had been able to use the ”Spirit Aura Drawing Arts” to find the location where the ”Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram” was hidden. Right now, bringing Hu Si along with him and not being able to enter the cave, it would be even harder for Tang Huan to get rid of Nie Zhitong.
After pondering for a long time, Tang Huan finally thought of only the simplest and stupidest method.
That was procrastination!
Wait until that aura does not exist!
No matter what methods were used, the aura of another person that was collected would not last forever. As time passed, the aura would definitely become fainter and fainter until it completely disappeared. Of course, due to the difference in their techniques, the speed at which the aura dissipated varied.
According to Tang Huan's observation, the ball of aura that Nie Zhitong had collected was extremely condensed.
However, this wasn't a big deal. He just needed to spend more time on it.
Therefore, when he felt that he was quite a distance away from Nie Zhitong, Tang Huan stopped casting ”Flowing Gold” and completely restrained his aura, swimming non-stop within the lightning domain. Even if it was a ”Heaven Shining Thunder Snake” attack, Tang Huan could only dodge and not attack, lest Nie Zhitong collect them again.
In the Lightning Territory, there were no diurnal changes. Tang Huan could only vaguely guess how much time had passed …
One day, two days … Five days … Ten days …
During this period, Tang Huan had met Nie Zhitong multiple times from afar. As expected, the white-colored odor in her hands became smaller and smaller, and Tang Huan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After he estimated that the ball of aura would last for at most another one to two days, Tang Huan would begin to head north. After entering the Fire Domain, he would then head east along the Fire Region.
”Hateful!” Hateful! Hateful! ”
At the edge of the fiery domain, Nie Zhitong watched as the last wisp of white-colored odor disappeared into thin air. She gnashed her teeth in anger and cursed out three times, her pretty face now so dark that water seemed to be dripping from it. She had completely lost track of Tang Huan's location.
In the last several days in the fiery domain and the dozen or so days in the Thunder Dominion, in total, she hadn't been able to catch up to the black-clothed man even after 20 days. It would have been fine if the opponent was a peak 9-stage Void Transformation Stage cultivator, but he was a young man with a 5-stage Void Transformation Stage cultivation.
One of the two strongest people in the Ancient Regions couldn't even deal with a young man who was at the Fifth Cycle of the Void Transformation?
If this news were to spread out, countless Void Transformation Stage cultivators would be so shocked that their eyeballs would pop out.
