Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 315: Where the enemy goes, I can go too
If you can't win, run away. Then, look for variables in the process of moving around. When you find that the variables are in your favor, attack decisively.

The above sentence was told to Yun Ce by Yun Linchuan. He also told Yun Ce that he must be resolute when running, otherwise he would not be able to escape.

Therefore, when Yun Ce learned that the Mountain Moving Master might not have ranked tenth because of his low strength, but because of his humility, his first thought was to run away.

Yun Ce has a certain talent for running away; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run as fast as a chestnut horse.

Yun Ce is not only fast, but also has great endurance. Back in the day, the Red Army ran 120 kilometers in a day and night, and Yun Ce can run continuously now.

The Mountain Moving Master was incredibly fast. Unlike Yun Ce, who flew across the ground on his feet, he hopped forward, covering a distance of three hundred meters with each hop.

Each time it lands, the earth rumbles, and the ground cracks where it lands.

Yun Ce ran headfirst, the grass beneath his feet becoming an aid. Each time his shoes landed on the grass, the grass would bend slightly before suddenly straightening, propelling him far away.

He ran west.

Yun Ce refused to believe that once they reached the city, the Mountain Moving Sect would still chase him in such an explosive manner.

Occasionally, when he looked back and saw that the distance between him and the Mountain Moving Master had not decreased, Yun Ce felt at ease and continued running at his current speed. He was very curious, wondering if the Mountain Moving Master could carry an 1,800-pound lead weight and keep chasing him.

Soon, the plain came to an end, and before them lay low hills. These hills were rich in resources. Although it was only spring, the shrubs on the hills were already bearing clusters of fruit. As Yun Ce flew over the shrubs, he could see clearly that there was a large red fruit forest here.

Red berries are berries about the size of a walnut. They typically ripen twice a year, in May and October. They are considered ripe when they turn red, at which point they can be picked. However, they should be left to ripen for at least ten days before eating, otherwise they will become unbearably sour and astringent.

If you're eating it yourself, you should pick the ones that are purplish in color. Even in the once prosperous Chang'an, this thing was very expensive. The main reason is that when you put it in your mouth, it not only has a fruity aroma, but also a strong alcoholic taste. Eating too much of it can make you drunk.

Eji loves this fruit the most, but she could never buy it. Now that she has found it, she will have an endless supply of red berries in the future.

"Liu Chang'an, you can't escape."

A thunderous sound, like a mountain being moved, boomed from behind.

"Mountain Moving Master, catch up with me first before you say such things. But be careful not to trample the red berries here; my wife loves them."

Yun Ce didn't stop. He leaped from the hilltop and flew across the hills and valleys. Behind him, he heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground. Yun Ce pursed his lips. He must have killed a lot of red fruit trees when he moved the mountain.

"Your mindset has changed a lot." Gouzi's voice suddenly appeared in Yun Ce's mind.

"How to say?"

"Master mindset: Now you believe you are a master. Even if you encounter someone like the Mountain Moving Master, you will no longer panic. While escaping for your life, you will still have time to consider the red fruit that your wife likes to eat."

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

"They're courting death! Get out of the way, or the Mountain-Moving Brigade will throw a tree at us."

As Yun Ce sprinted, he veered slightly to the side, and a tree as thick as a bowl swept past him, its sturdy trunk sinking more than a foot into the ground.

Then, every time the Mountain-Moving Brush landed, a tree or a boulder would smash into Yun Ce's back. These attacks did not harm Yun Ce, but the distance between him and the Mountain-Moving Brush was slowly closing.

Yun Ce had no choice but to accelerate again, but he soon discovered that no matter how fast he accelerated, he could not widen the distance between himself and Ban Shan. It seemed that he was not the only one hiding his strength; Ban Shan was equally unfathomable.

“He has locked onto your aura, so you can’t hide,” Gouzi said after studying Yun Ce’s current situation.

"Then I'll exhaust his inner energy by running like crazy. Even if he doesn't chase me then, I'll still chase him."

Yun Ce's body had just flown out of a mountain valley when he unexpectedly stumbled into a market that looked rather bustling.

He dared not rush into the crowd. He stepped on an oxcart with one foot, and his body flew up again, gliding diagonally to the left. He was willing to take a shortcut to move the mountain, and once again closed the distance between the two.

Unexpectedly, the Mountain-Moving God landed on the market like a deity, no longer flying away, but instead forcefully passing through the center of the market. When Yun Ce turned around, he heard no screams, only saw a blood dragon rise from the center of the market. When the Mountain-Moving God appeared from the other end of the market, his entire body was soaked in blood, and his hideous armor was covered with chunks of flesh, entrails, and hair. The seemingly forthright and cheerful Mountain-Moving Master had vanished in an instant, like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.

Yun Ce was furious and turned his attention north!

It's only three thousand miles from here to the Ghost Realm!
Although there are countless mountains and dangers in between, this only applies to ordinary people. For experts like Yun Ce and Ban Shan, mountains are not mountains, and dangers are not dangers.

"Well done, Liu Chang'an. As a superhuman expert, it's right for you to have more compassion for ordinary people."

The sound of the mountain-moving machine came from behind again, praising Yun Ce's decision not to seek refuge with Liu Changsheng, but instead to go to Guifang territory to cause trouble.

"You're welcome. I learned this move from you, Master Mountain Moving. I recently learned a move called Thousand Wheel Slash, and I'll test its power in a place with many Ghost Fang people."

Having said that, he let out a shout and dashed off to the north like a shooting star. His eyes narrowed, and he leaped into the air once more. This time, he flew even higher, but his descent was even faster. The sound of his footsteps hitting the ground was like thunder. As a result, he rose even higher and fell even faster, and the distance between him and Yun Ce increased rapidly.

"Are you crazy? You really want to go to the Ghost Realm?" Gouzi asked anxiously.

"Of course I'll go. The Great Han can do whatever they want, so why can't I go to the Ghost Realm and do whatever I want once?"
Emperor Wu of Han once said, "The enemy can go, and so can I."

Yun Ce and Ban Shan chased each other across the wasteland, running wildly for half a day without realizing it. As the sun began to set, Yun Ce still showed no sign of stopping. Because the area was mostly grassland, he was even faster. Meanwhile, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Ban Shan to find a solid piece of ground to take flight again, and his speed gradually slowed down.

"How about we ambush the Mountain Moving Sect? I've calculated that the energy they consume in half a day is enough to open a large bathhouse," Gouzi cautiously suggested.

Yun Ce sneered and said, "Why should I waste my energy on someone I can't kill? As long as I run fast enough, I can reach Guifang in less than three days, where I can do whatever I want."

"At that time, I won't be the one in a hurry; he'll be the one moving mountains."

"Huh, you really are putting on a master's act. If you hadn't had the chestnut horse and the black eagle following you from a distance beforehand, I might have believed your nonsense."

"Hmph, I'm really furious this time. I thought this guy, the Mountain Moving Master, was a true hermit, but I didn't expect him to be someone who treats human life like dirt."

It's just mutual harm. That's what I'm best at. You watch, I'll definitely reach the Ghost Fang territory before the Mountain Moving Sect does. When that happens, every Ghost Fang person I kill will be attributed to the Mountain Moving Sect.

After crossing a mountain, an endless black forest stretched out before him. Under the last rays of the sun, Yun Ce plunged into the Black Forest, which the Han people called an insurmountable barrier.

He had clearly widened the gap between himself and the Mountain Moving Sect behind him by a considerable distance. Each of his jumps was much shorter than at the beginning, and the height was also less than before.

Yun Ce felt that the Mountain Moving Sect was deceiving him, tricking him into turning around and attacking.

Yun Ce felt there was no need to ambush the Mountain-Moving Army. Even if he injured them, what difference would it make? It would be more satisfying to focus on entering the Ghost Realm and causing chaos.

Even though Yun Ce felt like he had been robbed of his home after entering the Black Forest, he was still unwilling to stop. After running wildly for another two hours, when even the aura of the Mountain Moving technique was almost gone, he found a huge pine tree, quickly climbed up, and took out a knife at the top to cut out a hole where he could sleep.

He took a pot and stove from the Dragon Ball, cooked a big pot of greasy pork chunks, made a pot of rice, and once the rice was cooked, he poured the pork chunks and broth over the rice, ate his fill in one go, and then went to sleep.

Sensing that Yun Ce had finally stopped, Ban Shan let out a long breath and also stopped. After looking around, he rushed into a grove of low trees and pulled a bear out of a hole that had been rubbed until it was shiny. He forcefully broke off the bear's head with both hands and put his mouth to the bear's blood vessels, sucking the bear's blood in large gulps.

After draining the bear's blood, he tore off the bear skin and began to frantically bite at the exposed muscles. It has to be said that he had expended a great deal of energy today. Although he was not as destitute as Yun Ce, his body was no longer the vigorous and energetic person he had been after the initial act.

Yun Ce's sudden decision not to go to Chang'an but to head straight for Guifang territory was completely unexpected by Banshan. Seeing that he had killed some Han Chinese commoners, he stubbornly insisted on going to Guifang territory to slaughter ordinary Guifang people. This was quite different from the cautious and meticulous Liu Chang'an that Shen Tingyu had described.

Meanwhile, through this intense long-distance race, the Mountain Moving Team discovered that even if Yun Ce was not at the Grandmaster level, he was only a hair's breadth away from it.

The Grandmaster realm is not actually a level of martial arts skill, but rather an elevation of one's state of mind. As the saying goes, the greater the heart, the greater the genius. With a heart that embraces all things, even the heavens and stars are nothing.

Exhausted, the Mountain-Moving Warrior removed his armor and leaned against a large tree. A cold wind blew from the valley, causing the pines to rustle. He felt a pang of regret, thinking that he might have brought a killing god to the Ghost Fang.
