Lu Hong ran away, he had no choice; he believed that the commotion here would soon alert others. By the time another God Lord level being arrived, already injured and yet to recover, he would definitely be killed on the spot.
So, Lu Hong chose to retreat temporarily.
And Gong Wuji did not pursue him either. The matters Lu Hong worried about were also known to Gong Wuji. However, he understood clearly that within a radius of thousands of miles, he was the only God Lord level guarding here. Even if his subordinates relayed the message, it would take at least an hour for another God Lord level being to arrive.
Therefore, Gong Wuji did not chase Lu Hong but let him leave.
Through the recent skirmish, Gong Wuji realized Lu Hong's strength. His arrows contained an unparalleled force of breaking through defenses, making it nearly impossible for an average God Lord to withstand them without being injured. Yet Lu Hong achieved it, blocking all his rain-like arrows without even a scratch.
