Generally, secret techniques for controlling spirit beasts are related to divine sense, involving imprinting a divine sense mark in the demon soul to control the beast. However, imprinting it in a wild beast's body would be eroded by turbid energy.
Therefore, even if one could forcibly control a wild beast, they basically couldn't unleash its full power. Being able to unleash half its power would be considered good, and it would be extremely easy to suffer a backlash.
The big-headed man's control of three wild beasts immediately reminded Zhang Ling of the red-faced man he fought a few hours ago, wondering if there was some connection between the two.
At that moment, the big-headed man had already caught up with another one of his phantoms, shattering it with a single strike. He turned his gaze towards the direction of his real body and chased after him without hesitation.
Zhang Ling quickly activated the colorful bubbles in his hand, and with a sway of his body, four identical figures appeared. The figures overlapped for a moment, then instantly flew in all directions.
The big-headed man coldly snorted, and with an opening of his mouth, several black lights flashed and shot out, attacking with extreme speed. They instantly dispersed three of the figures.
Only Zhang Ling's real body and another phantom barely dodged the attack.
This scene made Zhang Ling's back grow cold. He no longer dared to delay and fully activated the Thousand Mile Escape Light Talisman's escape technique.
His body was enveloped in black escape light, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of thirty to forty zhang. With a few flashes, he disappeared into the horizon, his escape speed being four times faster than before.
But this also exposed his real body, and the big-headed man immediately locked onto him.
He thought to himself, 'How did this kid's escape speed suddenly increase so much? It's even a bit faster than a Core Formation cultivator's ordinary escape speed.'
It seems he used a secret technique or a high-grade escape technique talisman or something. But after all, he's just a Golden Core junior, this kind of method definitely can't last long.
The big-headed man gave a sinister smile and made several hand seals, causing the blue escape light he transformed into to also suddenly increase in speed, chasing closely behind. The green flying knives also slashed out waves of green blade light.
Although Zhang Ling's escape speed was extremely fast, dodging these blade lights with a few flashes, it still caused some small troubles.
Above the ten thousand mile high sky, only a black light and a blue light could be seen chasing each other quickly, passing through layers of clouds.
Zhang Ling sped ahead, gradually increasing the distance between himself and the big-headed man. However, the gap between the two was very small. At most, they could only increase the distance by a few miles every half an hour.
The big-headed man was always hanging behind. Although the distance was constantly increasing, Zhang Ling keenly felt that a divine sense was constantly locking onto his position. It seemed he couldn't shake off this person.
This person is a Core Formation cultivator, his divine sense is powerful, covering at least a hundred-mile radius, and extending nearly two hundred miles in a single direction.
Unless he quickly flies two hundred miles away, he will always be locked by his divine sense, making it difficult to escape.
Originally, Zhang Ling wanted to use the colorful bubbles to transform into phantoms, hide his real body in the phantoms, gradually increase the distance from this person, and then fully rely on the Thousand Mile Talisman to escape.
But this person's strength was too great, and the transformed phantoms were shattered in an instant. This idea simply couldn't be implemented.
This can't go on. He's always being locked by his divine sense. When the Thousand Mile Talisman is used up, he will have no chance of winning against this person.
For a time, Zhang Ling couldn't think of a better method and could only escape quickly.
As for releasing the Black Tortoise to fight this person head-on, it wouldn't gain much advantage either. After all, the second soul hasn't completely controlled the Black Tortoise, at most it can only restrain this person.
During the beast tide resistance on Flying Cloud Island, he clearly felt that the Black Tortoise was still some distance away from a true Transformation Stage demon beast. It could only rely on its physical body. If it really faced a Core Formation cultivator, the Black Tortoise would be defeated after a long time, or even be killed.
At that time, he could only let his real body escape quickly. But the second soul and the Black Tortoise that he had painstakingly refined would definitely be lost in this person's hands.
Just as he was thinking, the big-headed man's voice came from behind.
"Kid, can you escape? If you surrender, this old man can give you a quick death." This person's words were cold, and he threatened without any politeness.
Zhang Ling cursed a few times in his heart when he heard this, but he also transmitted a voice, saying, "This junior really doesn't know how I have offended you, senior, to make you mobilize so many people to kill me. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
His words sounded somewhat like begging for mercy, but Zhang Ling naturally didn't have the intention of persuading this person to give up the chase. Instead, he wanted to get some information from his mouth to see if he could find a breakthrough.
After all, he had never seen this person and had not offended this old monster at all. He couldn't believe that a Core Formation old monster would attack them for no reason.
Moreover, they had already stated that they were a Myriad Manifestation City task force, and this person still attacked them, there must be some reason.
"Hehe, how about you stop and talk to this venerable one? Letting you live is not impossible." The big-headed man's leisurely voice came again. This time, his words were much more peaceful, making it seem like there was no malice.
Zhang Ling snorted in his heart. Unless his brain was broken, he would never stop the escape light. The Thousand Mile Flying Escape Talisman he was using now could make his escape speed comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator, but it couldn't last long. At most, the talisman's spiritual power would be exhausted in half an hour.
Once he stopped and was trapped by this person's methods, he would be at his mercy.
The big-headed man's mood was also depressed. The kid in front of him was constantly increasing the distance between them. Although he could always lock onto his trail with his divine sense, he had important matters to attend to in this cloud sea and couldn't delay for too long to chase a junior.
"It seems I have to use some means." The big-headed man muttered, raising his hands together and making hand seals. A layer of cyan-green spiritual light appeared on his body. A large mass of cyan-green light enveloped him, and there were also popping muffled sounds.
Zhang Ling also sensed the movement behind him and turned his head to take a look. He instantly sensed the powerful spiritual power erupting from the big-headed man's body, as if he was using some kind of secret technique.
He sighed inwardly, fearing that he would be unable to escape. It was time to fight for his life. He pressed his hand on a spirit beast pouch on his waist. Inside, the Black Tortoise roared under the control of the second soul.
Moo!
A huge roar came from behind. In a layer of cyan-green spiritual light, the big-headed man's body twisted strangely.
In an instant, this person's face turned cyan-black, and wisps of spiritual light threads emerged from his back, quickly wrapping around and actually condensing into a phantom of a mantis with a completely emerald green body.
This mantis was three zhang tall, and its two scythe-like forelimbs quickly danced a few times, slashing out waves of light blades in all directions.
The big-headed man spat out a ball of essence blood, forming a cloud of blood mist that enveloped the mantis phantom. The mantis transformed into strange spiritual patterns, appearing on the monster's body.
The aura on this person's body actually increased instantly.
