Within the sword body, Wang Baole staggered. He didn't care that his injuries were worsening, but he didn't stop. Instead, he sped forward with all his might.
However, before he left, he left a puppet at the place where he had been teleported. Then, he sped away without looking back.
Fortunately, as he sped along, Wang Baole finally found a familiar environment within the sword body. He was able to determine his current location.
"I'm not very close to the sword handle." Wang Baole's pale face darkened as he determined his current location. He felt a little depressed.
He knew that there were only two choices in front of him. One was to follow his original plan and head to the sword handle, return to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, and use the teleportation formation to leave the ancient greenish-bronze sword and return to the Federation. The other was to enter the sword body.
The former was naturally the best choice. It was also the direction he wanted to go. However, this path seemed like it would solve everything once and for all. In reality, there were many unforeseen circumstances.
"If the Leisurely Taoist isn't dead and chases after me, I won't be able to escape from him even if I escape to the sword handle.
"I can only take a gamble. I can gamble that he's dead, or that he won't be able to catch up to me in time." Wang Baole was silent. There was a struggle in his eyes. However, this struggle didn't last for long. He turned around and changed his direction. He didn't fly towards the sword handle anymore. Instead, he sped towards the depths of the sword body.
As he sped along, the blood in his body surged. Fortunately, his physical body was strong, and he had the recovery power of the green lotus. This allowed him to maintain a certain speed.
However, he couldn't swallow the blood that surged up. After flying for some distance, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
There were small pieces of flesh in the blood that Wang Baole spat out. Wang Baole had no idea what they were, but as he spat out the blood, he clearly felt that the churning Blood Qi in his body had become much more relaxed. However, after the relaxation, waves of dizziness and pain continued to spread.
"My internal organs were injured." Wang Baole's expression was ugly. Sensing his body, he knew those chunks of flesh were most likely his internal organs.
The feeling of spitting out his organs made him feel as if he had been hollowed out. Endless exhaustion rose from every part of his body and continued to spread, causing his vision to blur.
A strong urge to lie down and rest continued to attack him at that moment. It was like a tidal wave that was about to drown Wang Baole, but at the moment he was about to be drowned, Wang Baole bit his tongue and ignored the pain caused by using too much strength. Instead, he used the heart-wrenching pain to forcefully suppress his will to relax. His breathing quickened, and his eyes became slightly clearer.
"I can't stop. I can't gamble like this." Wang Baole took a deep breath and clenched his teeth. He had chosen to enter the heart of the sword to avoid being chased. It wasn't that he couldn't gamble, but that this was something Wang Baole didn't dare to gamble.
If he lost, he would have no room to maneuver. Although entering the heart of the sword seemed more troublesome, it actually gave him a greater chance of survival.
After all, the majority of the restrictions here were harmless to him, but to others, they were obstructions.
However, Wang Baole was well aware that the Leisurely Taoist's cultivation base was powerful and he had many tricks up his sleeve. So if he really did chase after him, he couldn't place all his hopes on the restrictions here.
"Unless I can continuously increase the distance and time and enter the heart of the sword, then there's a high chance that the Leisurely Taoist won't be able to chase after me. But that's a bit difficult." Wang Baole's eyes flashed. His thoughts spun, but he didn't change his direction. He quickly advanced in the direction he remembered.
"So no matter what choice I make, whether it's to escape or to make the Leisurely Taoist not dare to chase after me, I'll have to use a large-scale teleportation.
"This kind of teleportation either requires the use of the terrain here to create a teleportation formation, or an Immortal Platform." Wang Baole's eyes were resolute. In his memories, there was an Immortal Platform in the direction he was heading.
The long-term plan was to head to the Immortal Platform and use it to teleport far away so that the Leisurely Taoist wouldn't be able to chase after him. The short-term plan was to find an area that happened to have a teleportation formation and use it to teleport away.
After organizing his thoughts and making up his mind, Wang Baole swallowed another pill and raced forward. A loud boom rang out from the spot where he had been teleported from the battleship to the sword body. Daoist You Ran emerged from the battleship.
As soon as he appeared, the puppet Wang Baole had left behind sensed him and self-detonated. The Leisurely Taoist wanted to stop it, but he was too slow. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the spot where the puppet had self-detonated. Looking at the fragments of the puppet, the Leisurely Taoist's expression darkened.
"Vicious and merciless, incomparably decisive, with many tricks up his sleeve, and a meticulous mind. I really did underestimate this Wang Baole." The killing intent in the Leisurely Taoist's eyes had reached the pinnacle. He formed an incantation gesture and used some unknown secret technique to lock onto Wang Baole's position. His body flickered, and he gave chase. He had already decided that this time, he wouldn't rest until he was dead.
By the time the Leisurely Taoist locked onto Wang Baole, he was already some distance away. As he sped along, Wang Baole's expression suddenly changed. He had left behind the puppet to keep an eye on it. If the Leisurely Taoist hadn't followed the traces of his teleportation, then it wouldn't have mattered. But if he did, then he would be able to sense it. Although this was the worst case scenario, Wang Baole was prepared for it. Without the slightest hesitation, he once more increased his speed.
Even though Wang Baole's speed was already extremely fast, he couldn't care less about that. Even if his injuries would worsen, he pushed that to the side and used the Lightning Immortal Transformation. He was like a bolt of lightning, and he no longer looked around to see if there were any teleportation zones. Wang Baole's only goal was the Immortal Platform.
Time was of the essence, and Wang Baole couldn't afford to be distracted. With a burst of speed, Wang Baole practically barged his way through hex after hex as he weaved through them.
These restrictions basically automatically lost their effect the moment Wang Baole got close. They would only reactivate after he passed through them. This allowed Wang Baole to cover even more distance with his astonishing speed.
Although the Leisurely Taoist's cultivation was strong enough to allow him to forcefully pass through restrictions, even if they exploded outside his body, it didn't affect him much. But after all, there were too many restrictions, and they slowed him down a little. This caused his speed, which was originally much faster than Wang Baole's, to slow down a little.
This was especially so in the sword body, where the natural laws were chaotic, making teleportation unpredictable. Therefore, the Leisurely Taoist could only rely on the speed of his magical arts to chase after Meng Hao. For a moment, he could only narrow down the area, but he couldn't catch up.
Daoist You Ran was getting closer and closer to Wang Baole in his panic, but he was constantly being obstructed by the hexes. When he saw Wang Baole in the distance, he gritted his teeth and decided to teleport away with a flick of his body.
He disappeared and reappeared less than thirty meters behind Wang Baole. However, when he reappeared, the Leisurely Taoist's face paled. He could only wave his hand in the direction of Wang Baole and then retreat at top speed.
The moment he retreated, the space where he had been teleported to immediately collapsed. Dozens of huge cracks appeared in the void, as if they were going to tear everything apart. Even though the Leisurely Taoist's cultivation was strong, he still gasped when he saw this scene.
Wang Baole raised his right hand and waved it. A Dharmic Armament flew out and exploded behind him, resisting the Leisurely Taoist's attack. Blood spurted out again. Although the Leisurely Taoist's hasty attack was blocked by the Dharmic Armament, the aftershock still spread out, causing Wang Baole's injuries to worsen.
However, Wang Baole didn't slow down. Instead, he sped up. He formed hand seals as he sped forward, forming lightning balls one after another. He threw them at all the restrictions that he passed by, causing them to explode. A series of loud booms sounded, causing the restrictions to explode on their own. His goal was to obstruct the Leisurely Taoist and also to stir up the chaos in the area.
The sword body's interior was already extremely chaotic, like a volcano that could erupt at any time. Wang Baole's actions caused the chaos to intensify, causing the sea of fire to surge even more violently.
