However, before he could walk closer to Wang Zhong, a rattling chain sound rang beneath his feet and scorching heat overwhelmed him. Suddenly, a fiery red shadow appeared in front of the Sword Saint, obstructing his vision. The blazing flames on the chains were gleaming with a white glow as if it could burn everything in its path!
The Sword Saint raised his eyebrows. He sensed that his attack didn’t strike his target. That mouse was fast at escaping.
That swift figure paused shortly the moment Salamander was sliced in half. Though it was just a slight pause, it was evident that Wang Zhong was affected by Salamander’s condition.
Nonetheless, now wasn’t the time to ponder over this. There was no time to lose. Wang Zhong clenched his teeth and took advantage of the moment of confusion that Salamander bought with his life. He successfully sneaked past the Sword Saint and dashed towards the only opening of this cave.
The Sword Saint sneered.
The little girl’s presence evoked a strong emotion, and even a man would mistakenly feel that he was a ‘mother’ in this instant. However, the Sword Saint wasn’t affected by this at all. Putting aside the fact that he belonged to another race and had a vastly different way of expressing emotions, but even if he was blindfolded, this sort of weak illusion wouldn’t be able to have any effect on him.
His curled fingers clawed into a fist without hesitation, becoming a golden glow that launched a fierce attack on the little girl. There weren’t any pauses in his movements.
He was going to blast this illusion along with the human hiding behind it!
It wasn’t that his fist came into contact with something that was hard to break. It was the judgment of a power of the natural laws that deemed his power ineffective at that moment!
The Sword Saint had a dark expression on his face. At the same time, he realized that the human was about to reach the entrance of the cave. Wang Zhong clenched his teeth. Alice was the key to his escape plan. She was able to buy him a little time, but her condition was not any better than Salamander now. However, the enemy was already nearing him from behind.
The sword gleamed, exuding a glow that followed a curved trajectory in the air. It was a vicious attack aimed to kill!
Return~my~head~~~
Right after, the Sword Qi that crushed the Headless Knight continued spreading across the cave in all directions.
Less than ten seconds later, the white glow of a sword could be seen coming from chunks of debris.
One, two, three…
The Sword Saint’s expression darkened.
That dude didn’t dash towards the cave entrance but dived deeper into the cave instead. This human was smart. He knew that the cave entrance would be heavily guarded by soldiers. The guards outside the cave only needed to keep him busy for a minute or two, and the Sword Saint would be able to catch up with him thereafter. That dude wanted to find another exit. Obviously, he had found out that this energy cave was unlike the normal ones.
Two times. That ant had escaped from him two times though he was just toying with that human the first time. He definitely wouldn’t allow that pesky human to escape a third time. Now, he was going to find that detestable pig and hack him to death!
Swish swish swish…
Salamander, Alice, and the Headless Knight were his strongest trump cards. However, the three Soul Guards had only appeared for a moment before they were severely damaged. Injuries to their soul imprint meant that the Soul Guards’ essence was damaged too. This was an entirely different concept from ordinary physical attacks that caused them to lose their form. Wang Zhong sensed that his connection with them was almost gone, and it would probably take a very long time for the Soul Guards to recover.
He could only run with all his might. With such a lethal enemy behind him, it wasn’t feasible to head for the cave entrance. If there were two or three Great Swordsmen at the cave entrance who stalled him for a while, he would be dead in a matter of seconds.
There was probably another exit. He was pinning his only hope on that. However, before anything else, he had to ensure that the Sword Saint didn’t catch up with him. Though he was able to evade the enemy’s divine sense temporarily, the sense of threat that enveloped him still hadn’t disappeared. This definitely wasn’t an illusion that arose out of fear. Wang Zhong was wearing the clown mask now, and his sixth sense was abnormally accurate.
……
The swamp was abnormally quiet and calm after the thunderstorm. In this world, not only the Mizobudapi people respected nature, even wild creatures harbored the same belief. Many terrifying Dimensional lifeforms hadn’t recovered from ‘God’s Wrath’ last night and were still dormant.
“Careful!” Small Eyes, who was in charge of alerting the team, reminded everyone. This caused everyone to stop in their tracks.
Rushing out from the energy cave and sucking blood for the first time gave Grai immense power, but this power wasn’t endless. It couldn’t even heal his sword injury. The Sword Qi on his chest that was left behind by the Sword Saint was forcefully dispelled by the power of his bloodline. However, his wound wasn’t able to heal even after such a long time. The power of his bloodline forcibly held his wound together and kept it from opening.
To think that a Sword Saint’s casual sword attack was this powerful!
