But before he could get close, there was a sudden clanking of chains under his feet, followed by a scorching heat. A fiery red figure suddenly appeared in front of the Sword Saint, blocking his line of sight. The flames burning on the circling chains had turned into a scorching white color, as if they were going to pierce through everything!
This thing appeared too suddenly. Even the Sword Saint couldn't see how it appeared. It definitely didn't move, and it didn't seem like a normal human Dharma Idol either. Those Dharma Idols had Soul Power fluctuations that could alert people, but this thing appeared completely out of thin air.
The moment the circling black iron chains appeared, they had already started to bind Salamander. Salamander's big hand pulled hard, and the chains instantly shrank. He wanted to bind his opponent, but it was a pity that his opponent was a Sword Saint.
The sword in Salamander's hand moved slightly, and a ray of sword light that seemed to be able to split the heavens and the earth slashed through everything as it shot forward. In the face of such an attack, the defense of the chains became a complete joke. The chains shattered with a loud bang, and Salamander, who was still aggressive just a moment ago, was pierced through by the ray of sword light and directly split into two halves. Moreover, the sword light did not stop there, and its aura soared into the sky as it shot towards Wang Zhong, who had just been slammed into the cave wall behind him.
However, the Sword Saint raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't feel that he had hit anyone. That rat was running away very quickly.
His divine sense had already locked on to the figure that had dashed past him on his left. This human was indeed extraordinary to be able to run so fast after taking a kick from him. Not only was he fast, but his body was also strong enough, and he had a good grasp of timing.
However, the moment Salamander was split in half, the fast figure obviously paused for a moment. Although it was very slight, he was indeed affected.
Salamander and Wang Zhong had been knocked down many times in the battles they had fought together. When their bodies were smashed into pieces, they would recover instantly. It was just that their strength was slightly reduced. However, it was different this time. When Salamander was split in half, Wang Zhong felt a sharp pain in his head, and the spiritual connection between him and Salamander was instantly cut off. The power level of Salamander's attack was too high. This was the damage to his Soul Seal, which had damaged his foundation. Not only did Salamander instantly fall into a state where he could no longer summon Wang Zhong, but even Wang Zhong's own soul felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. It was fortunate that his soul was strong enough. If it were an ordinary Heroic Soul, such a soul injury would probably cause him to fall to the ground and foam at the mouth.
However, there was no time for him to think about these things. He couldn't care less. Gritting his teeth, he took advantage of the momentary chaos that Salamander created to sneak past the Sword Saint and dashed toward the only hole.
The corner of the Sword Saint's mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Running?"
His voice was still as unhurried as ever, as if he was in control of everything. He did not even use his sword. As he spoke, his golden figure stretched out slightly and appeared behind Wang Zhong, who was running with all his might, like a bolt of lightning.
Speed? That was impossible.
Previously, he was able to make Salamander run so far because there were too many forks in the energy mine. Although the Sword Saint had been guarding the Black Boulder Energy Mine recently, it didn't mean that a dignified Sword Saint would follow a bunch of loafers down here to familiarize himself with the dirty cave terrain. He was even more unfamiliar with the cobweb-like roads here than Wang Zhong, and he had a bigger headache. Furthermore, he had to locate Salamander along the way. Coupled with his unhurried mentality, he managed to play cat and mouse with Salamander for so long. In the end, this pitiful ant actually thought that he could compete with him in terms of speed?
With a stretch of golden light, the Sword Saint stretched out his arm, and his five fingers were like a mountain. He aimed at Wang Zhong's back and grabbed him. He wanted to capture Wang Zhong alive and torture him to see what he could get from this human who had a different fighting style.
However, he grabbed nothing because another figure appeared out of thin air and blocked in front of him. It was a human girl who looked delicate and pitiful. She weakly opened her arms, like a child calling for her mother to hug her …
With such a strong emotional awareness, even a man would mistakenly feel that he was a 'mother' at this moment. However, this did not affect the Sword Saint. Not to mention that they were from different races, there was a huge difference in the expression of emotions and loopholes. Even if she was blinded, this weak illusion would not have any effect on him.
He clenched his five fingers into a fist without hesitation and turned into a golden stream of light that rushed forward without any hesitation.
He wanted to blast away this illusion along with the human hidden behind it!
Boom …
The illusion of the little girl dissipated. In the face of such a strong force, nothing was left. However, the fist did not completely penetrate the illusion. This punch was actually blocked!
It was not that he had touched something that was difficult to break, but a judgment of the rules that rendered his power ineffective at that moment!
A trace of astonishment finally appeared on the Sword Saint's face. This feeling of being judged was even more unbelievable than when the other party had blocked eight or ten of his sword strikes. How could such a weak ant possess the power of a god?
The Sword Saint's face sank slightly. At the same time, he realized that the human in front of him was about to rush to the exit of the cave. Wang Zhong also gritted his teeth. Alice was the key to this escape. She had really bought some time, but her situation was not much better than Salamander's. Meanwhile, the enemy behind them had already arrived.
The sword light trembled slightly, and a whirlwind of sword light appeared in the air. It was swift and fierce!
This human had a certain value, but it was only to the extent that he was interested in him. If he dared to play any tricks, then he would kill him!
The terrifying Sword Qi pierced through like a ray of light. Its power was unparalleled, and it was as fast as lightning. It was more than a hundred times faster than Wang Zhong's movement speed! However, Wang Zhong did not even look back. He completely ignored the terrifying and fatal threat behind him and just rushed forward. Meanwhile, a fog suddenly appeared behind him, covering Wang Zhong's figure. At the same time, there was an angry roar!
Return ~ ~ my ~ ~ head ~!!!
A black silhouette shot out from the fog, bringing with it a powerful aura as it clashed with the sword light.
Rumble ~ ~
This attack was unparalleled. The surging Sword Qi swept across the battlefield. Although the Headless Knight was killed in an instant, the Headless Knight did not care about defense at all and launched a fatal attack at the Sword Saint who was following closely behind him! After all, he was a Heavenly Soul Lord. Although he was limited by Wang Zhong's strength and could only display combat power at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage, he was good at attacking. Regardless of whether it was his spear techniques, fighting spirit, speed, or other aspects, he was definitely at the Heavenly Soul Stage. The Sword Saint felt threatened by this attack and subconsciously dodged to the side.
Immediately after, the Sword Qi that destroyed the Headless Knight scattered in all directions in the cave.
Hualalalala … Rumble rumble rumble rumble …
Although the cave was wide, the destructive power of the Headless Knight and the Sword Qi just now was astonishing. The moment the explosion occurred, a large part of the cave collapsed. Countless gravel piled up and blocked the Sword Saint's figure. There were gravel and dust everywhere, and the rumbling sound lingered and echoed in the cave that extended in all directions. The gravel blocked the entrance of the cave, and Wang Zhong really ran with all his might. The three great Soul Guards could only do so much to stop him. This was the power of a Sword Saint. The difference in their realms was too great. No one knew how Mu Zi dealt with such a monster.
However, in less than ten seconds, a white sword light had already shot out from the gravel that had blocked the entrance.
One, two, three …
Boom! The sword light burst forth, and the gravel exploded. The entire cave was filled with dust, and a golden figure shot out from the flying gravel and dust. In front of him was a central cave, and there were seven or eight cave passages that extended in all directions. It was impossible to tell where the kid had escaped to.
The Sword Saint's face was gloomy!
This was the first time he had been tricked by such a low-level creature! He actually allowed the other party to escape from his hands. Although it was only temporary, it was still an absolute humiliation!
The crystal tentacles on his head suddenly flashed, and his powerful divine sense instantly extended to explore the surrounding cave passages. The kid had already escaped far away, and his divine sense couldn't detect him for a while. However, he could still find traces of him passing by, the disgusting smell that belonged to humans.
He didn't rush to the exit, but continued to go deeper into the cave. This human was very smart. He knew that the exit must be heavily guarded by now. In that narrow passage, as long as the guards outside the cave could stop him for a minute or two, the Sword Saint would catch up with him from behind. He wanted to find another exit. Obviously, he had discovered that this energy cave was unusual.
Zeng!
The golden figure swayed, followed the traces of Wang Zhong's smell, and disappeared in a flash.
Twice. This ant had escaped from his hands twice. Although he was just playing with him the first time, he couldn't do it more than three times. What he had to do now was to find that abominable pig and cut him into pieces!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
Wang Zhong's Speed Circuit had been activated to the extreme, and he had used almost all of his methods to escape from that terrifying guy. However, the price he had to pay was too high.
Salamander, Alice, and the Headless Knight were his strongest trump cards. The moment the three Soul Guards appeared, they were all severely injured. Injuries that involved the Soul Seal directly affected the Soul Guard's foundation. It was completely different from ordinary physical attacks that dissipated. Wang Zhong felt that he was about to lose contact with them. It would probably take a long time for him to recover.
He couldn't fight them at all, nor could he contend against them. Their opponent was simply too powerful. After hanging out with Oscar and the others for a long time, he often heard a group of people boasting in the Queen's Bar about which Devourer had the strength to fight against a Heavenly Soul Great Teacher. Although he could judge this in his heart, after hearing it for a long time, he felt that the gap between the Heroic Soul Stage and the Heavenly Soul Stage wasn't as big as he had imagined. This included the battles in the Dimensional Secret Realm. There were always other main forces fighting against the Devourer, and he only assisted from the side. He never experienced the most direct terror. However, now that he was facing the Devourer head-on, that terrifying level of suppression simply didn't give him a chance to feel despair. The difference was too big from what he had imagined.
He could only run away with all his might. It was impossible to escape from the exit as there was such a terrifying thing behind him. As long as there were two or three Great Swordsmen at the entrance of the cave, he would be whipped into a corpse in minutes.
When he ran around randomly just now, he discovered that this energy cave was unusual. It was too big and too deep, as if there was no end to it. This was definitely not man-made. Otherwise, there was no reason for the ores on both sides of the cave walls to not be mined. Instead, there was no reason for them to keep digging in endlessly.
Being able to find another exit here was his only chance of survival, but at the very least, he couldn't be caught by the Devourer. Although he had temporarily shaken off the Devourer's divine sense, the threat hanging over his head still hadn't disappeared. This was definitely not an illusion caused by fear. Wang Zhong, who was wearing the clown mask, had an unusually clear sixth sense.
Now, the only path in front of him was to find another exit or be killed!
Wang Zhong activated his Speed Circuit at full speed and didn't dare to stop at all. He turned into a faint gray shadow and moved as fast as the wind in the cave.
… …
The heavy rain that had been pouring on this land for an entire night finally stopped slowly. The people of the Wanderlust Team had already set off again. After a night of rest, they didn't encounter any monsters, had a good night's sleep, and had a new goal. Everyone was now in high spirits.
After the heavy rain, the swamp was abnormally calm. In this world, not only did the Mizobudapi people revere nature, even the wild creatures seemed to continue this style. Many terrifying Dimensional creatures had yet to recover from the 'Wrath of Heaven' last night, and most of them were still hibernating.
This gave the Wanderlust Team a good opportunity to hurry on with their journey. With sufficient energy and a peaceful environment, everyone's speed had more than doubled compared to two days ago. Originally, they planned to try to cross the central area of the entire swamp by evening. As long as they reached the periphery, it would be much easier. However, at noon, they saw a blood-red shadow on the horizon running towards them at high speed.
"Be careful!" Small Eyes, who was in charge of alerting them, warned them immediately. Everyone stopped in their tracks.
However, when Oscar saw who it was, his expression suddenly changed. "It's Grai!"
After rushing out of the energy cave, he had indeed gained a lot of energy from absorbing blood for the first time. However, this energy was not unlimited, and it couldn't even heal his sword wound. The Sword Qi left by the Sword Saint on his chest was forcibly dispelled by his own blood aura, but the wound still couldn't heal. He could only rely on the rich blood aura to forcibly bind the wound together and prevent it from tearing open again.
It was just a casual sword strike, but the Sword Saint was actually so powerful.
Grai gritted his teeth and persevered. The little bit of energy he absorbed had slowly been exhausted along the way, but he used all his strength to support the Speed Circuit in his Soul Sea so that it wouldn't dissipate. Then, he strode forward. He didn't even dare to think about other things, for fear that he would give up if he was distracted.
It wasn't until the Wanderlust Team finally appeared in front of him that he felt relieved. However, he immediately felt that he was in trouble. The Speed Circuit that had already reached its limit collapsed in an instant, and his entire body fell forward due to inertia.
Pa!
Oscar caught him. "Grai! Grai?! "
"Hurry up, there's a trap, there's a Sword Saint …" As if he had a sense of mission, Grai spat out these few key words with great difficulty. He no longer had the strength to complete a complete sentence. When he finished conveying the most important information of 'Sword Saint', Grai's vision turned black. The wound on his chest that had been sealed by blood aura suddenly burst open, and the little blood left in his body gushed out. Finally, he completely lost consciousness.
