In the boundless desert, the scorching sun was shining brightly, and the sand that filled the sky reflected golden rays of light.
However, in this hell of an ordinary person, a figure was flying at high speed.
It was a blanket that was completely white without any other colors. It was unknown what kind of animal it was made from. The blanket was flying at a low altitude of five meters above the ground. There were two men sitting on the flying carpet. One of them was about middle-aged and had a dignified look on his face. It was obvious that he had been in power for a long time. The other person had a head of white hair and had a sage-like demeanor. He was like an immortal that had been born into the world.
However, regardless of whether they were middle-aged or old, they had one thing in common — the tiredness on their faces that could not be wiped away.
These two people were the Rain Master and the Courageous Marquis, who had been constantly pursued by Zuo Zhicheng for the past two months.
A layer of light blue bubbles covered the flying carpet, allowing them to fly at high speeds without suffering from the strong winds and flying sand.
The Courageous Marquis looked at his bare right hand, and a hint of resentment flashed across his face. "Zuo Zhicheng, how dare he pursue us for 5,000 kilometers? If I don't take revenge, I won't be able to die in peace."
Compared to the Courageous Marquis, the Rain Master's condition seemed to be worse. He said with a hoarse voice, "Revenge … We don't even know if we can live past this month. Don't you think that Zuo Zhicheng, he … has been getting stronger and stronger recently? "
"Indeed. I don't know where this guy has cultivated space-time dao techniques or some kind of treasure. Normal attacks are basically useless. The most detestable thing is that he has too many weapons. It's as if he's carrying an army with him," the Courageous Marquis said with hatred.
The two of them were obviously talking about Zuo Zhicheng's Virtual Space. As the days passed, Zuo Zhicheng gradually recovered his power. The Virtual Space and the Spiritual Furnace would only become stronger. Regardless of whether it was the Courageous Marquis or the Rain Master, they would only become weaker without any replenishment. Not only had Zuo Zhicheng predicted this, but the two people on the flying carpet had also noticed it.
"It's not just space-time dao techniques. Those six puppets are too powerful. Even if we fought them one-on-one, it would take us a lot of effort to deal with them. The six of them appearing together..." The Rain Master sighed. His eyes dimmed. "There are also those two monsters by Zuo Zhicheng's side. We can't kill them at all. At this point, the Apocalyptic Turbid Current and the Xuanming Heavy Water have been used up. You probably can't use many of your Nine Heavens Ten Earthquakes Sonic Thunder."
"That is indeed the case …" Halfway through, the Courageous Marquis suddenly frowned. "What's wrong with you?" He looked at the Rain Master and asked curiously, "Ever since you woke up, something has been wrong."
"Haven't you noticed?" The Rain Master's eyes were bloodshot. "We're dead meat. Zuo Zhicheng is just a cat playing with a mouse. He could have killed us long ago. Now, he's just slowly chasing after us. Today, he'll cut off an arm. Tomorrow, he'll cut off a leg."
The Rain Master looked at the vast desert around them nervously. "He appears and disappears unpredictably. He hides in all the darkness. Perhaps he's right beside us now, looking at us with a sneer …"
"Enough," the Courageous Marquis shouted. "Stop talking. You're too tired. Have a good rest. I have some ties with Prince Ashoka of Dongmu. When we reach there, he'll help us. "
…
Ten days later, the white flying carpet that was originally flying in mid-air had landed somewhere unknown.
Only the Courageous Marquis and the Rain Master walked step by step in the desert. With every step, they had to take deep breaths.
They were sweating profusely and panting heavily. There were wounds and bloodstains all over their bodies. The Rain Master's back, in particular, had turned completely red. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured.
The Rain Master cast a spell and collected the moisture in the air. However, he was interrupted by the Courageous Marquis.
"No, we have to conserve our spiritual energy. Zuo Zhicheng's group might appear at any moment."
The Rain Master's legs turned to jelly, and he fell to the ground. He rolled down a small slope, and blood and sand mixed together.
"I'm not leaving," the Rain Master said weakly. Rain Master shouted weakly, "We can't escape. We will be killed. We will all be killed by Zuo Zhicheng. No one can escape. No one can live."
"Get up." The Courageous Marquis walked up angrily and pulled the Rain Master up. "Let's go!"
Seeing that the Rain Master was still as weak as mud, the Courageous Marquis gave him a few slaps. He grabbed the Rain Master's collar and said, "If you want to die, you can stay here. No matter what, I have to survive."
The Rain Master looked at the Courageous Marquis's back view, and the expression in his eyes changed slightly. Eventually, he stood up and continued to follow the Courageous Marquis.
...
Seven days later, there was still an endless desert in their surroundings. The Rain Master and the Courageous Marquis were like two refugees, and their clothes had turned into rags.
Their lips were cracked, and their hair was dry. Their eyes were lifeless, and they would occasionally look behind them.
Over 1,000 meters behind them, a human body that appeared to be shining with silver light under the sun was following behind them unhurriedly. It was Geo, who had been following behind them since three days ago.
In the beginning, the Rain Master and the Courageous Marquis would try to attack him. However, as long as they revealed their intentions to attack, Geo would immediately disappear.
When they were rushing on their journey, Geo would unknowingly appear behind them.
"Hahahaha, I knew it. I knew it. We're dead for sure. We're dead for sure." The Rain Master shouted crazily, "He's just toying with us. When he's tired of toying with us, he'll kill us. We're dead for sure. We'll never be able to walk out of this desert. "
Hearing the Rain Master shouting crazily in his ears, the Courageous Marquis's brows furrowed even tighter. Finally, he could not help but turn around and start punching and kicking the crazy Rain Master.
"You piece of trash. Can't you do anything else other than complaining?"
"I'll let you shout!"
"I'll let you shout!"
...
Three days later, the Rain Master and the Courageous Marquis were walking in the desert like zombies. Their eyes were lifeless, and their expressions were numb. They did not know how long they had been walking, but they did not say a single word. They did not even turn back to look at Geo from time to time.
They only looked at the west, at the end of the desert. They kept walking, and kept walking.
There was no food, no water, and no hope.
They did not know when it started, but the atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange. Every time the Courageous Marquis looked at the Rain Master, he seemed to be able to see the other party's strange gaze. That gaze was like that of a hungry wild wolf.
"Don't look at me like that." The Courageous Marquis shouted hoarsely, but he realized that he could not even say a word. He could only grab a handful of sand and throw it at the other party, but it only made the Rain Master smile strangely. That smile made the Courageous Marquis feel very uncomfortable.
"You stink." The Courageous Marquis wrinkled his nose. The strange smell coming from the Rain Master's body made him feel uncomfortable.
...
A day later, the only person left was the Courageous Marquis.
His face was covered in dried blood. The blood formed a layer of cocoon-like thing that stuck to his face.
Suddenly, he stopped. "You're here?"
There was no one around, but the Courageous Marquis still chuckled. "The Rain Master, this guy, should have died a long time ago. Zuo Zhicheng, you're the first person to be so careful while chasing me."
