The closer he was to the inner part of the planetary ring, the denser the stones were, and the faster they were.
Giant meteorites dozens of meters in diameter and hundreds of meters in diameter, which contained immense spiritual energy, were rushing toward them as fast as lightning.
Despite the tough body of a Cultivator, it was still a headache for him to run into such meteoroids.
Li Yao was fleeing among the meteoroids at an unbelievable speed.
From time to time, he would brush past a meteorite, and from time to time, he would step on a meteorite. While changing his direction, he would also kick the meteorite behind him, causing the meteorites around him to collide with each other, creating a chain reaction that would interfere with the pursuers behind him.
Sometimes, he would turn off all the power and cling to the back of a meteoroid silently, allowing the meteoroid to take him deeper into the planetary ring. Even if the pursuers were scanning with mystic rays, it would be difficult for them to detect him in such a short time.
Naturally, the cloak of flames dozens of meters long had been retracted. A layer of vague red mist was floating on the surface of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, covering all the critical parts.
The chase in the stone belts lasted half an hour.
Before they knew it, both parties had reached the inner part of the planetary ring.
On the pursuers' side, except for Fengyu Zhong, all the space pirates were far behind.
However, the old dog with a keen sense of smell had memorized Li Yao's scent. No matter what Li Yao did, there was no way that he could get away from the old dog.
The distance between the two parties was getting smaller and smaller. Li Yao was gradually entering Fengyu Zhong's attack range.
If it went on like this, in five minutes at most, Li Yao would be completely locked onto by Fengyu Zhong no matter how hard he tried to hide.
Li Yao seemed to have realized that, too. The cloak of flames that was dozens of meters long appeared again, covering all the meteoroids in the dozens of square meters nearby. He blinked like a ghost, and the aura of his saber dashed more than twenty meters away within a breath!
Faced with the pursuit of experts such as Jin Dan, he turned around and launched a full-strength attack!
Fengyu Zhong grinned hideously. At the highest speed, the Blood Face Battlesuit turned into a crimson viper and darted toward Li Yao like lightning!
The moment before the saber and the spear collided, the flames on Devil's Cry could be seen clearly. Li Yao's body was somewhat blurred. A plain-looking meteoroid behind Fengyu Zhong suddenly exploded, and a second Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit appeared out of nowhere, its saber roaring!
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which was wearing a cloak of flames dozens of meters long at first, was actually a phantom. Unexpectedly, it was just a phantom, a phantom that was activated by a magical treasure!
"Hahahaha!"
Fengyu Zhong, who should have been caught unprepared, chuckled, as if he had seen through Li Yao's trap. Devil's Cry had been extended to the maximum, but hundreds of flames suddenly dashed out of the end of the spear and interweaved into a new tip!
His weapon was actually a double-headed spear. Both ends of the spear had attack power!
The tip of the spear was the tip of the spear! Li Yao of the spear!
Fengyu Zhong, a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, had seen through Li Yao's scheme a long time ago. He was simply trying to force Li Yao to show up!
The spear that seemed to have been thrust forward to the maximum suddenly exploded like an arrow that had been stored for a long time!
"BOOM!"
The spear and the saber collided and penetrated all of Li Yao's defenses without any hindrance!
Li Yao seemed to have been pierced through from his chest to his back by a roaring shooting star. A cluster of highly-condensed flames burst out!
He only had the time to stomp on a meteoroid and kick it toward Fengyu Zhong. Then, he activated his power rune arrays to the maximum and fell toward Iron Plateau at a high speed!
It was only one strike. Li Yao, on the other hand, threw away his armor and fled for real with heavy wounds!
"Hehe. You think I don't have the courage to break into the forbidden area of the Cultivators?"
Fengyu Zhong immediately realized what was on Li Yao's mind. He was trying to escape to Iron Plateau to avoid being hunted down.
"How can I let you succeed?"
Fengyu Zhong sneered. His crystal processor had calculated that, as long as he accelerated to the maximum speed without bothering about anything, he would be able to intercept and kill the enemy before they entered the atmosphere of Iron Plateau!
Fengyu Zhong blinked and accelerated to more than three times the speed of sound. Suddenly, alarms were ringing in his head, as if he had neglected a matter of life and death!
For some reason, Fengyu Zhong suddenly imagined the scene where Red Lightning was hit by Hippopotamus 19 and exploded violently.
"Not good! The enemy is an expert of explosions! "
For a moment, cold sweat was leaking out of all the pores on the body of the Jin Dan expert at the same time.
He had been running toward Li Yao and accelerated to the maximum speed in 0.03 seconds.
But he stopped moving forward in 0.01 seconds. Even though his muscles were torn apart, his bones were shattered, and he suffered some internal injuries, he did not hesitate to do so!
Then, as if he had run into a ghost, he fled in the opposite direction without looking back!
Right when Fengyu Zhong was running away in a hurry, almost a hundred enormous light balls appeared and expanded quickly in the place where he and Li Yao had been fighting and where Li Yao had been running away!
They were the crystal bombs that had been hidden inside the meteoroids that had exploded at the same time!
The shadow just now was just Li Yao's disguise for his trap. His full-strength attack and his wounded escape were just bait to lure Fengyu Zhong, too.
This was the real trap!
The explosion of the crystal bombs was not terrible in itself. With Fengyu Zhong's Cultivation as an expert, the best they could do was to disrupt his search, but they were not enough to hurt him.
However, this place was not a common stone belt but a planetary ring of Iron Plateau. It was the interior of a piece of terrifying defense magical equipment that was close to the stellar level!
Although 99% of the power of the magical equipment array had been consumed after five thousand years, the remaining 1% was still not something that a body of flesh and blood could resist!
"Shua!"
Triggered by the explosion of almost a hundred crystal bombs, dozens of space steles floating inside the planetary ring suddenly glittered. Spiritual energy spurted out crazily, gathering all the broken stones around and turning them into dozens of terrifying swirls of stones!
It was like an ocean that had been calm on the surface but had finally torn off its camouflage. The tides were roaring, and the tides were surging, revealing the most terrifying and hideous face!
Fengyu Zhong's face was pale. He did not have the courage to check his crystal camera until he was almost a thousand kilometers away.
Only to discover that the space zone he had been in had been enshrouded in a cluster of black cosmic dust with dazzling electric arcs. Every electric arc that was released from the black dust was dozens of kilometers long!
It was like a dark cloud with lightning and thunder, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
It was the result of countless meteoroids crashing, rubbing, and grinding under the surging spiritual energy. In the end, they were reduced to dust!
"If I had really chased after him, or if I had hesitated for half a second, I would have fallen into the black dust …"
Fengyu Zhong's eyelids twitched. He finally confirmed one thing at this moment.
The mysterious man that he was chasing was right now. He was an out-and-out lunatic, a lunatic that was a hundred times crazier than Lei Dalu!
The mysterious man was at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage at best. But he had lured Fengyu Zhong all the way here not just to distract him and rescue the Great Horn Exo Society, but also to …
Kill him!
Yes. The mysterious man, who was no higher than the peak of the Building Foundation Stage, was taking advantage of the terrifying terrain of the stone belt. He was not just running away. He was really trying to kill Fengyu Zhong, an expert of Jin Dan!
"Who is he? Who is this lunatic exactly? "
This Core Formation Stage Cultivator, who had once been chased by seven Core Formation Stage Cultivators and hundreds of Foundation Building Stage Cultivators without batting an eyelid, who had killed countless people and had a notorious reputation, finally felt an uncontrollable chill running down his spine!
The planetary ring in front of his eyes was still covered in black dust. The crystal cameras could not see through it at all.
Also, a lot of chaotic spiritual energy was contained in the black dust, which blocked all kinds of detection methods.
Fengyu Zhong had completely lost track of Li Yao.
He stayed where he was for a long time. He hesitated for a long time, too, wondering whether he should continue the chase or give up.
Until a battle report that made his insides burn came through the communication channel.
"General Feng!"
The advisor sounded somewhat panicked. "The probe cameras we deployed at the edge of the Iron Plateau Space Zone have detected two starships of the Cultivators. They are on their way! "
"What!"
Fengyu Zhong's body trembled. He was almost hit by a meteoroid. "So fast!"
Then, he realized that it was not because the reinforcements of the Cultivators were too fast, but because he had wasted too much time on the mysterious man!
According to his original plan, he should have blown up the Great Horn Exo Society in half a day. Then, he would have bypassed the Iron Plateau Space Zone and lurked in the stone belts deep inside the Iron Plateau Space Zone. After the shell of the starship was repaired, he would have returned to the secret base of the space pirates through a space jump.
However, when the plan was 99% successful, the mysterious man appeared and disrupted everything!
Fengyu Zhong gnashed his teeth. "What's the situation on Blood Rain?"
"It's a mess!"
The advisor wailed. "General Feng, you know that when the enemy sneaks into a starship and starts a competition for a cabin or a pathway, it will not be easy to win the battle with numbers and capability! These lunatics are like rats running around inside Blood Rain. A 7-8 assault team almost reached the bridge just now! "Zhang Tie said with a cold smile on his face.
"With their interference, it is impossible for us to separate the starships, let alone repair the shell and the power system of Blood Rain!
"General Feng! The only solution is to ask the other three starships to return and intercept the two new starships of the enemy!
"The two starships are not very heavy. They are not the main force of a major sect, either. They shouldn't be difficult to deal with!
"One day! According to my calculations, the Great Horn Exo Society will be completely annihilated in one day! "
"One day …"
Fengyu Zhong's face was dry and yellow. He said gloomily, "Can you guarantee that there won't be a second batch of reinforcements in one day?"
The advisor stammered, "Well —"
Fengyu Zhong said coldly, "The SOS of the Great Horn Exo Society has been sent out for several days. Now that the first batch of reinforcements has arrived, the second batch and the third batch are on their way, too. Also, who knows from which direction in the Iron Plateau Space Zone they will appear?
"Let me ask you. If you don't care about the cost, are you confident that you can eliminate all the Exos of the Great Horn Exo Society who have snuck into Blood Rain in three hours?"
The advisor was dazed for a moment. He calculated for a moment and said, "Three hours? If you don't care about the cost, even the severe internal damage, there is a fifty percent chance! "
"Fifty percent …"
Fengyu Zhong's face was gloomy. A moment later, as if a piece of flesh had been cut off from his heart, he said, one word after another, with a hideous face, "Abandon Blood Rain. You and all the key personnel will retreat to the second mothership according to Plan IV. Also, be prepared to detonate Blood Rain when all the key personnel leave!"
"What!"
The advisor was shocked. He wanted to say something else, but Fengyu Zhong had already cut off the communication.
Fengyu Zhong looked at the direction where Li Yao disappeared gloomily. His lips shivered, but he did not say anything. He turned into a streak of brightness again and disappeared among the meteoroids. (To be continued.)
