If there was enough time, Wang Baole might not have suffered such serious injuries. However, in the Pond Cloud Rainforest, his battle with the black-robed men had to end quickly. Once it was delayed, the other black-robed men would definitely catch up to him.
As such, if Wang Baole wanted to retaliate, he would have to pay a price. Just like the last four people, even if Wang Baole had a Dharma artifact, he would still be severely injured by their final counterattack before they died.
At this moment, his breathing was a little chaotic. He bent over and sped through the vegetation, taking out elixirs and swallowing them in large mouthfuls. At the same time, he quickly checked the remaining items in his storage bracelet.
"There aren't many elixirs left, and I've used half of my Dharma artifacts …" Wang Baole licked his lips and found a tree hole to hide in. He took out the concealment bead that he had obtained from the black-robed men and activated it to cover his entire body. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He then took out the Dharma artifact disk and gradually narrowed his eyes.
"I need to modify it. On one hand, I can activate it, but on the other hand, I can reverse the effect so that I can see their location …" If it were someone else, they might not be able to do this. However, as the Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty, Wang Baole was the head of his faculty in terms of Spirit Stones, Inscriptions, and Spirit Kernels. Furthermore, he could deduce formulas on Inscriptions. This was something that others could not do. After observing the Dharma artifact disk, he had a certain level of confidence.
"There are a total of eight Dharma artifacts. Even if I fail a few times, I only need to succeed once!" Thinking of this, Wang Baole knew that time was precious. He immediately lowered his head and tried to modify it.
At this moment, in the Pond Cloud Rainforest, the number of black-robed men had decreased by almost 30%. The remaining ones were even more vigilant. In fact, the difficulty and danger of hunting down Wang Baole this time was so high that even these people who lived on the edge of a knife were trembling in fear.
This was especially true of the old man in their midst. He was currently standing in the area where Wang Baole and the seven others had been fighting. He looked at the corpses of his subordinates that had been dragged out of the mud. As the leader, he had led so many people to kill a single student, and yet he had suffered such a loss. To him, this was like a slap to the face. His expression was extremely unsightly, and the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Damn it, the commission said that this Wang Baole is only at the Great Circle of the Physical Seal realm. However, how can a Physical Seal realm expert kill more than ten of my men? Not to mention Physical Seal, even Pulse Enrichment experts of the same realm would find it difficult to do so!" At the very beginning, they had only been commissioned to kill Wang Baole. But now, even if they hadn't been commissioned, they still had to kill him.
"Also, why does this guy have so many magical artifacts?!" The old man gritted his teeth. When he noticed that his subordinates were also shocked, his eyes grew even colder and filled with determination.
"Continue to search. Pay attention. This brat is not simple. Once you find him, immediately send out a signal. I will personally break this brat's neck!"
The black-robed men nodded when they heard this. Their faces were dark as they spread out again and continued to search. It was as if they had formed a large net that was continuously shrinking.
While this large net was searching, Wang Baole, who was hiding in the tree hole, did not look at the five Dharmic Artifact disks that he had failed to modify. At this moment, he was staring at the only Dharmic Artifact that he had successfully modified. His eyes shone brightly.
There were about twenty glowing spots on this Dharmic Artifact. They were moving rapidly in all directions. There were three spots that were closest to him. These three spots were not very far from each other. Wang Baole muttered to himself as he observed for a while. He saw that these people had surrounded him and sealed him off. He knew that it wouldn't be long before they found him.
"I can't attack anymore. I have to widen the distance and spread them out. Only then can I continue to counterattack …" Wang Baole took a deep breath and quietly crawled out of the tree hole. As he observed the Dharmic Artifact, he quickly changed directions. Sometimes he would explode with speed, sometimes he would stop in an instant. He avoided one black-robed man after another, always maintaining a safe distance from them. Then, he quickly approached the depths of the Pond Cloud Rainforest.
If nothing unexpected happened, Wang Baole still had a chance of escaping the encirclement. However, just as he was about to break out of the encirclement, Wang Baole, who was sprinting, suddenly had a change in expression. His body froze, and his breathing stagnated. He felt a frighteningly ferocious aura that seemed to have locked onto him.
As he slowly turned his head, Wang Baole's face was pale. Sweat seeped out of his forehead. He saw that on the trees to his right, there were actually seven snakes!
Each one of them was as thick as an arm, and their bodies were bright red. Only their heads were white. At first glance, they even looked like the faces of infants. Their eyes were filled with a savagery that struck fear into everyone's hearts.
"Red-boned White Infant Snake!" Wang Baole's heart thumped. Although he had fearlessly attacked in the Dreamscape trial, at that time, it had only been one snake. But now, seven of them had appeared at the same time. Wang Baole immediately groaned. He carefully took a deep breath and slowly retreated. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to fight these seven snakes.
"Don't scream. Absolutely, positively don't scream. I won't kill you …."
However, even as he took a step backward, Wang Baole noticed that the savagery in the eyes of the seven snakes was even stronger. That was especially true when one of them opened its mouth. Gritting his teeth, Wang Baole shot forward with explosive speed. He didn't flee, but rather, shot directly toward the seven snakes. He waved his right hand, and a small seal appeared, as well as a medicinal pill that repelled the snakes. He also summoned dozens of flying swords, which shot out with shocking speed, cutting down six of the snakes.
Everything happened too quickly. Wang Baole went all out, but was still too late. The last snake dodged out of the way, and then … let out a cry that echoed out in all directions. Within the silence of the rainforest, everyone could hear … the cry of an infant!!
The sound was so loud that it echoed out, causing an unsightly expression to appear on Wang Baole's face. Before, he hadn't been afraid of the seven snakes. What he had been afraid of … was their voices. After all, during the Dreamscape trial, Wang Baole had learned that their cries were extremely loud.
"Dammit!" Wang Baole quickly put away the Magical item and the snake corpses. There was no time to kill the white infant snake, so his body flickered as he shot off into the distance.
At the same time, the black-robed men in the area heard the white infant snake's cry. One by one, they turned their heads. Before they could charge over, the leader of the black-robed men, the old man, smiled coldly. His eyes filled with determination, and he suddenly lifted his right hand. Although this place was blocked off from transmitting messages, that only applied to those outside. They could still transmit messages to each other.
"Airships, bombard that area!" Said the old man with a cold laugh. He hadn't done so before because he was worried that the noise would attract the attention of the wild beasts in the rainforest. However, he had been here for a long time, and Wang Baole was difficult to deal with, so he couldn't care less.
Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, the five airships floating in the distance whizzed over. As they neared, beams of light, bringing with them a shocking heatwave, exploded and blasted the area where the white infant snake's cry had come from.
Rumbling sounds filled the air, and the ground quaked. Plants and trees were sent flying, and mud was blasted into the air. Under the relentless bombardment, the entire area was completely destroyed.
Wang Baole's figure was forced out. He spat out blood, and his body swayed. The moment he appeared, the old man's eyes flashed. He threw his head back and laughed loudly. His body exploded with extreme speed. His entire person seemed to transform into a white line as he charged toward Wang Baole.
His speed was too fast. The aura of someone who had completed the great circle of Pulse Enrichment suddenly exploded. To a certain extent, this old man's Qi and blood could be considered to have been cultivated to the peak. Especially within his body, there seemed to have been a fortuitous encounter in his early years. There was a faint aura of … True Breath!
It could be confirmed that it wasn't True Breath. However, this aura caused his combat ability to far surpass that of other peak Pulse Enrichment cultivators!
Wang Baole had been continuously injured, and he had also been affected by the beams of light. As he panted, the old man, who was half a step into True Breath, closed the distance between them. The moment he neared, the old man raised his right hand. It was as if the air around him was being sucked away. His right hand was crimson red, and it carried a shocking pressure. He slammed his palm toward Wang Baole. Everywhere it passed, the temperature of the area increased significantly.
"Die!"
In this life and death crisis, Wang Baole knew that he couldn't escape. He turned his head abruptly, and his eyes were filled with madness. He raised his right hand and waved it forward. Instantly, all the Dharmic Artifact seals in his storage bag flew out. After they were all activated by Wang Baole, they all emitted the glow of Dharmic Artifacts and were surrounded by Spirit Qi as they charged toward the old man.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely not dare to face these Dharmic Artifacts head-on and would choose to retreat. However, the old man's lips curled into a contemptuous smile, and his body didn't stop at all. Only the glove on his right hand was suddenly squeezed. Immediately, a wave of Spirit Qi even stronger than that of Wang Baole's Dharmic Artifact seals spread out from the glove.
"Shatter!"
Instantly, a small tempest erupted from the glove and slammed into Wang Baole's Dharmic Artifact. Amidst a boom, the Dharmic Artifact seals emitted cracking sounds and began to shatter. However, they didn't collapse. What shattered was only the outer layer of the Dharmic Artifact. The Spirit Kernels inside weren't destroyed. They continued to block the power of the old man's burning palm strike, weakening it!
Amidst the explosive boom, the palm strike, weakened by the Dharmic Artifact, pierced through the Dharmic Artifact. However, by the time it reached Wang Baole, it only had forty percent of its power left. Under the protection of Wang Baole's Daoist robe and bracelet of holding, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Borrowing the force of the blow, he shot forward with even greater speed. At the same time, the hand under his robe flicked, and the small violet sword appeared in his hand.
This small violet sword was his trump card. Wang Baole knew that he couldn't reveal it carelessly. Otherwise, he would be on guard. He planned to use it in a killing blow.
"Dammit!" The old man was shocked, and his face grew unsightly. He had never imagined that the quality of the Spirit Kernels in Wang Baole's Dharmic Artifact would be so high.
By this time, the surrounding black-robed men had arrived. Seeing Wang Baole coughing up blood from the palm strike of their leader, their eyes filled with bloodlust, and they prepared to give chase.
However, it was at this moment that … an unforeseen event occurred!
A buzzing sound like that of a mosquito suddenly spread out in all directions within the Pond Cloud Rainforest. This sound carried with it sound waves that caused the hearts and minds of all who heard it to tremble violently. Even the wild beasts in the rainforest trembled violently, as if they were instinctively terrified!
Wang Baole was also shocked. In the instant that the faces of the old man and the others behind him changed, suddenly, from the forest off in the distance, a … gigantic mosquito flew out. It was dozens of meters long, like a small mountain … It was a ferocious giant mosquito!!
