The shriek was like the signal of a bomb being detonated. Some of the soldiers of the Nether World Watch had already recognized that it was Swirl, their commander, but they had never seen Swirl so panicked, embarrassed, and desperate before!
Before they realized what was going on, the stabilizing bubbles that covered the captive of the Blade of Chaos suddenly exploded. Demonic energy so intense that it was almost tangible swept across the hundred square meters nearby like sword auras!
All the soldiers of the Nether World Watch could not help but narrow their eyes, as if they had sensed that sharp blades were coming at them!
Such an intense outburst of demonic energy could only mean one thing — the mitochondria deep inside the captive's cells were outputting energy crazily like a volcano eruption!
At that moment, only Elder Nether Spring, Despot, and a few other experts realized what was going on.
However, under the ingenious guidance of the captive of the Blade of Chaos, he was blocked by Despot's enormous body without leaving a single gap.
None of the other experts of the Nether World Watch, including Elder Nether Spring, could bypass Despot and attack him directly.
"Hooo!"
'Despot' was one of the strongest experts in the Nether World Watch other than Elder Nether Spring. His damage was in the level of a demon emperor. His reaction was not slow, either. The balls of lightning at the center of his two horns exploded again, and dozens of electric arcs slashed at the captive of the Blade of Chaos brutally. Some of the electric arcs even hit the front of the captive in advance.
If the captive had fled forward, he would certainly have been hit by the electric arcs. Even if he could resist the bombardment of the electric arcs, his speed would have been slowed down.
That would have been enough for Elder Nether Spring to catch up with him!
However, after the explosion of demonic energy, the captive did not lunge forward. Instead, like a scorpion that had fallen into a pot of boiling oil, he jumped backward weirdly into Despot's arms!
The captive's action was far beyond Despot's expectations. All the electric arcs missed their target!
The speed of the captive of the Blade of Chaos was much higher than Despot's. His legs hit the demon core on Despot's chest heavily like the main guns of a crystal warship. His strength flooded into the demon core crazily like a torrent!
BOOM!
Infinite spiritual energy was stored inside the demon core, which was bombarded by the external force. Like a spring that had been compressed to the minimum, it naturally generated a tremendous resistance.
His opponent's movements were ingenious to the extreme. When the Yao Core's rebounding force reached its limit, he borrowed this force and heavily bounced his legs. Under the fusion of the two forces, it was like a bullet fired from a railgun, whistling straight ahead. In an instant, it broke through the sound barrier, breaking through the sound barrier and transforming into a blood-red light that moved as fast as lightning!
From the cry from the bottom of the well, to the eruption of this person's demonic aura, to the bombardment of Despot's lightning arcs, to the fact that this person did not advance but instead retreated, using the demonic core on Despot's chest to escape. It took less than half a second for the rabbit to rise and fall!
Despot's body, which was as enormous as a heavy crystal tank, was kicked away by the guy easily like a kite whose string had been severed and smashed right into Elder Nether Spring.
Elder Nether Spring blinked and grabbed one of the horns on Despot's head with only three of his fingers. He caught and straightened Despot.
However, Elder Nether Spring's attack was blocked, too, and he lost the best opportunity to kill the guy.
Swoosh! Shua! Swish! "
In the darkness. Four emotionless' Elder Nether Springs' crawled out and blocked the guy's path of escape.
They were all clones that Elder Nether Spring condensed with the Phantom Green Ants. They had been lurking in the darkness in advance.
But the guy seemed to be familiar with Elder Nether Spring's fighting style. The streak of red light changed rapidly. Two of the clones were shaken away before they touched his hair.
The other two clones, on the other hand, were blown up neatly by the ivory rays that shot out of his palms!
The streak of red light disappeared into the darkness!
Elder Nether Spring's face immediately turned extremely awful. It was so green that liquid seemed to be dripping down. He turned into a streak of green brightness, too. He chased after him relentlessly!
In the meantime, he waved his hands. The few clones made of the Phantom Green Ants melted together and returned to the bronze gate, staring at the entrance of the cave coldly.
Very soon, 'Swirl' struggled to fly out.
Despot and Elder Nether Spring were both greatly surprised by their appalling appearance.
At this moment, the Illusionary Butterfly Demoness did not have her usual charm anymore. Her colorful wings were broken, and there was not a single part of her body that was still intact. It was especially so on the left side of her abdomen, where a shocking hole had appeared. All her internal organs were exposed to the air pitifully.
Judging from the shape of the wound, she had been ambushed from behind!
Swirl's face was as swollen as a pickled pig's head. She could not have looked uglier. She seemed to be crying as she said miserably, "Elder, I am sorry for my incompetence …"
"Cut the crap!"
Elder Nether Spring's clone gnashed his teeth. "What happened exactly?"
"A captive of the Blade of Chaos pretended to be enchanted by the traps deep inside the mausoleum of Chaos and seemed to have gone mad. I went forward to check it out and was ambushed by him!"
Swirl said, still in shock. "No. He shouldn't have been a captive that we captured. He must have snuck in later. He was very strong and was almost immune to my mental attack!"
"Of course, he was very strong!"
The face of Elder Nether Spring's clone was gloomier and gloomier. "Even Despot was no match for the guy and was kicked away by him. He must be a demon emperor!
"I didn't know that there was a second demon emperor in the Blade of Chaos other than the Fire Ant!"
"No!"
Elder Nether Spring's clone's nose twitched, as if he had smelled something weird in the air. "The guy crushed my clone with a technique similar to 'Cell Obliteration Cannon'. But it was of a very high level. It seems to be …"
"The expert next to Jin Xinyue!"
The pupils of Elder Nether Spring's clone constricted violently. "The expert next to Jin Xinyue performed the same move when he was escaping from the pursuit deep inside the Hundred Desolation Mountain!
"How … how is he here?"
"Elder …"
Swirl struggled to move her body and whispered, "The guy … the guy also stole something from the center of the mausoleum of Chaos."
"Huh?"
The expression of Elder Nether Spring's clone changed again. "What is it?"
"It should be a piece of ancient magical equipment similar to the 'Hidden Star Box'," Swirl replied honestly. "It is very likely to be the 'thing' that you asked me to look for.
"The guy has been hiding among the captives and did not attack until the Hidden Star Box appeared. It seems that he is here for the item."
Elder Nether Spring's clone took a deep breath, his face emotionless. A moment later, the fury that he had nowhere to vent finally burst out. After a boom, the thousands of phantom green ants that made up the clone all exploded into a chaotic storm and turned into a tall, fuzzy shadow of a human being, who let out a deafening roar that pierced through the sky!
Deep below the ground, the speed of Elder Nether Spring's real body soared to another level. He was getting closer and closer to the streak of redness in front of him!
There was no second branch in the narrow, long pathway. There was nowhere to run. It was purely a competition of absolute speed.
In three seconds, he would be within Elder Nether Spring's attack range. In the meantime, Elder Nether Spring's sharp eyes had already ripped the guy into pieces more than ten times.
Right then, abrupt changes took place.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! Around the pathway, dozens of crystal bombs, acid bombs, and venom bombs exploded at the same time. Spiritual energy, venomous needles, and acid mixed together and filled the narrow space like a raging wind!
Elder Nether Spring bellowed. He did not care about the minor explosions at all. A shield of demonic energy was formed around his body. Neither the acid, venom, nor the sharp scraps of magical equipment could touch his body at all as if they had been stuck by thick glue.
However, the serial bombs had been set up very cleverly. Perhaps the rocks above had been corroded by the acid a long time ago. After the detonation, thousands of tons of rocks fell down and blocked the pathway!
"Explode now!"
Elder Nether Spring was infuriated. He opened his bloody mouth and spurted out a streak of intense green brilliance, which blew a giant hole almost ten meters deep into the rocks!
However, the rocks and soil were already fragile after the intense explosion in the first place. Hardly had he blown out a hole when the rocks and soil above continued collapsing and filling the hole again. Elder Nether Spring was so infuriated that he could not have burst into fury!
The enemy had scouted the terrain and set up escape traps in the pathway. Despite Elder Nether Spring's toughness, it would take him at least half a minute to break through the sealed pathway!
Besides, Elder Nether Spring did not know whether or not the enemy had planted more bombs in the pathway, or if the enemy was waiting for him quietly in the darkness at the other end of the pathway.
Recalling the enemy's lightning-fast kick just now, Elder Nether Spring concluded that the guy was at least as strong as the Fire Ant.
Elder Nether Spring did not want to compete with such a terrifying enemy in a strange environment.
After a moment of hesitation in the darkness, screams echoed from the communication bugs next to Elder Nether Spring.
They were the guards who were responsible for the research rooms on the second floor and the temple on the first floor!
From the sound of it, it was as if there was a ferocious beast charging toward the ground with the momentum of slaying gods and Buddhas!
"Stop him! Stop him! "
Elder Nether Spring's handsome face was completely twisted!
…
The guy who had snuck into the captives and stolen the ultimate treasures deep inside the tomb was naturally Li Yao.
In the whole plan, it was already perilous enough to sneak into the captive camp. What was even more critical was that he had entered the Mausoleum of Chaos right under Elder Nether Spring's nose. If Elder Nether Spring had noticed him and locked him up, Li Yao would have been killed.
However, Li Yao believed in his judgment that Elder Nether Spring must have devoted all his attention to the secrets of Chaos after taking over the Mausoleum of Chaos. Even if he could spare some of his attention, he must have been considering how to exploit the Fire Ant for more benefits.
It never occurred to him that an audacious, insane expert in the level of demon emperor would risk showing up right in front of his eyes!
At this moment, Li Yao broke out of the siege and reappeared in the underground temple.
The most elite experts of the Nether World Watch were all on the third floor.
