Chapter 2692 Di Yihun Got Serious
In the s.p.a.ce Beast’s brain, Su Mo had his eyes shut. Source Power rolled all over his body as roars sounded internally.
He had devoured tons of Five Elements Dawn Stones, and had been trying to break into Middle-rank Supreme Being Realm for a while.
His mind was blank as the power of the Flame Rule and the Source Power in his elixir field mixed together. His training had long ago reached the peak of Low-rank Supreme Being and the bottleneck of the realm had loosened.
He could break through! He was so sure of it!
But he did not know how much time it would take.
Rumble!
Ye Jin and many others kept attacking the man in the hemp top who was on the run.
Un.
He was fast, and they were still far behind him. It was really difficult to hit the man. On top of that, the man in the hemp top was strong. He could not have died even if several attacks managed to land on him.
In fact, if not for the occasional interception up front, they simply would not have been able to catch up with the man in the hemp top. Perhaps some of that had abilities a.s.sociated to s.p.a.ce or speed. They could catch up with the man but dared not to.
With their disparity in strength, catching up to him would only bring death.
What they had was numbers, and this could be an advantage and a weakness at the same time.
“d.a.m.n it!” The man in the hemp top, filled with endless resentment, exclaimed furiously as he ran with all his might while evading the attacks from behind.
He hated Tai Ying Sovereign, and he hated the disciples of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
He was just a martial artist on a little star. He did not belong to the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance or the Sky Ridge Star Alliance, but a few days ago he had been captured by Tai Ying Sovereign and had had a jade pendant sealed inside his body.
The jade pendant was connected to his Spiritual Soul. He could not take it out even if he cut out his flesh.
And then he was thrown into the s.p.a.ce Beast’s body.
He knew without having to guess that he had been made into a target for all the disciples of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance to fight for. This made him extremely resentful.
Now he just wanted to stay alive. He would not show mercy to anyone who wanted to kill him.
If he managed to survive to the end, there was hope.
“You can’t escape. Stop and surrender. We’ll get the token out, and maybe spare your life!” Ye Jin shouted as he sped up his pursuit.
The speed of the man in the hemp top was really amazing. The average Advanced Supreme Beings would have trouble keeping up with him. The large group of people who were chasing after him had formed a long line, whereas those in the back had fallen far behind.
“Kid, you wouldn’t be so cheeky if there were fewer of you!” the man in the hemp top shouted back. Stop and surrender? That was not possible.
The token was sealed in his Spiritual Soul and Primordial Spirit by special means and could not be removed easily. The only way to get the token out was by taking his life.
So, he could not possibly stop. “Kill!” More cries sounded ahead. A group of people had suddenly appeared in front, ready to intercept the man in the hemp top. They were not plentiful in numbers, there were only about twenty. They had spotted the man in the hemp top a while ago and had been waiting for him.
Rumble!!
The group of twenty blasted the man with various forms of attacks.
It was worth mentioning that Ge Li from the Qinghua Branch was among them.
“Die!”
The man in the hemp top made his move too.
Facing more than twenty people blocking his way, he did not reduce his speed one bit. If he did that, he would be surrounded. There would not be a way out no matter how strong he was.
In his hands he held a huge purplish-gold bronze hammer and gave it a good swing.
Suddenly, a huge shadow of a bronze hammer rushed forward like a mountain with terrifying momentum.
Boom!
There was a loud burst. The giant shadow of the bronze hammer clashed with the flood-like attacks, setting off a ma.s.sive explosion.
The endless air waves centred on the explosion point swept across the scene.
The interceptors were blown away by the terrifying shockwave. Many spat blood. Like a flash of lightning, the man in the hemp top charged into the mighty shockwave and quickly fled.
But the shockwave was so powerful, even he could not escape unharmed. The huge impact only served to worsen his injuries.
However, he dared not linger and proceeded to flee despite coughing blood.
“He can’t hold on much longer!” “He’ll die for sure!”
“We must catch up to him!”
The angry mob shouted. Ye Jin and the others wasted no time and continued to pursue the man in the hemp top.
“Almost there!” Di Yihun bore no expression as he mingled with the crowd. He figured that the man in the hemp top would not get away so easily. He also needed to find some way to get the token and leave this place safely. It was just too s.p.a.cious here without blood vessels surrounding them. It would not have been easy to run away even after getting the token.
There were a lot of people here, so there were bound to be struggles. Wanting to keep the token all to oneself was easier said than done.
The pursuers continued to chase their target, attacking every so often.
They had reached the bowels now, which were quite vast. Occasionally, some martial artists would emerge up ahead in an attempt to intercept the man in the hemp top or at least try to affect his speed.
A while later, the man’s number of pursuers had increased to ten thousand.
The man in the hemp top was coming the end of the line.
Just then, another group of fifty martial artists appeared before him. Their leader happened to be Leng Canfeng of the Red Summer Branch.
“Hehe, the G.o.ds are on my side!” Leng Canfeng snickered coldly as his team watched the man in the hemp top speeding towards them.
He rushed here because he had heard the battle cries. Luckily for him, he had caught up just in time.
“This is bad!” The facial expression of the man in the hemp top sank when he realized the crisis he found himself in. An army of ten thousand was pursuing him from the back and there was another team blocking his path. The point was that he was seriously injured at well. Escape would be difficult. But he had to get past this obstacle no matter what.
“Kill!” He roared. His whole body shone a great grayish gold, while the purplish-golden bronze hammer in his hand glowed with the same brightness.
“Leng Canfeng, stop him!” Ye Jin shouted from the back. Whether they could stop the man depended on this single action.
“Brace yourselves!” Leng Canfeng said coldly as he commanded his followers, brandis.h.i.+ng a sharp sword in his hand.
One by one, the crowd triggered their Source Power, igniting a powerful force as they prepared for the ultimate attack.
These were not members of other branches whom Leng Canfeng had managed to rope in. They were all from the Red Summer Branch. They might not have been strong individually, but there was strength in numbers.
A hundred miles!
Fifty miles!
Ten miles!
Very soon, the distance between the man in the hemp top and Leng Canfeng’s people was less than ten miles, which was within the attack range.
Leng Canfeng had not issued orders so everyone held their fire.
“Die!” The man in the hemp top struck first, his war cry sounded in all directions as he frantically swung the purplish-gold bronze hammer in his hand.
For a moment there, the large shadow of the hammer blocked the sky in overwhelming terror.
The man in the hemp top possessed the Rules of the Earth. His attack was filled with the strong force of earth.
“You first! Now!” With that, Leng Canfeng charged with his blade in hand. In less than half a blink of an eye, he had performed forty-nine slashes.
The forty-nine slashes merged together to form a giant Optimus Divine Blade, charging towards the hammer shadow.
“Kill!” Leng Canfeng’s squad attacked at once with swords, blades, and fists, to name a few, charging at the man in the hemp top like a torrent of heaven and earth.
Rumble!
Instantly, the attacks clashed with the hammer shadow, triggering an explosion that swept strongly across the scene as though doomsday had arrived.
The powerful force of the explosion drove Leng Canfeng and his squad backwards. But they had succeeded. The scary attacks finally managed to block the man in the hemp top, causing him to fly backwards with blood spewing from his mouth.
“Haha! Die!”
“Kill him!”
“Die!”
Ye Jin and hundreds of others moved in to attack some more. Surely, they would not let go of this golden opportunity. Di Yihun was among them, though he did not exert his full power.
Only a hundred or so moved in on the attack because they were the fastest. The rest were swept to the back, unable to keep up.
Rumble!
The man in the hemp top was overwhelmingly targeted by the relentless a.s.sault, its power several times stronger than Leng Canfeng’s team of fifty.
These hundreds of people who had managed to charge to the front were all Advanced Supreme Beings. None of them were weak. Among them, some possessed peerless talents, while others were not at all weaker than Ye Jin or Leng Canfeng. “My life ends here!”
Darkness fell on the man’s face. He was so badly wounded that he was unable to stop this round of attacks.
How he hated it!
He was a brave and bold martial artist of the Supreme Realm! To die at the hands of a bunch of Supreme Realm midgets was miserable indeed!
“Curse you, Tai Ying!”
Suddenly, the man’s eyes widened, he uttered the most violent roar of his life, and then his body exploded!
The brave and bold Supreme Realm fighter, exploded just like that!
All in all, he was a vicious man. He would rather explode from the inside than die at the hands of these midgets.
Boom!
The self-imposed explosion of a Supreme Realm fighter, including the power of his training, his Primordial Spirit, and his Rules triggering during the final moments before his death, were all really terrifying. A huge force swept across all directions, leveling the field and destroying everything in its path, dispelling the joint attacks altogether.
“Not good!”
Everyone retreated, appalled by the sight. They had not expected this person to be so strong.
Several dozens who flew too fast but reacted too slowly were suddenly thrown off course, with blood spewing out of their mouths.
Rumble!!
The terrifying power surged in all directions, and then gradually calmed down.
Whoos.h.!.+
Right then, everyone, including Di Yihun, Ye Jin, Leng Canfeng, rushed to the spot where the man in the hemp top had previously exploded.
Right there, a jade pendant gleamed with colorful divine light, emitting dazzling rays. That was a token!
Anyone who got their hands on it would become a disciple of the headquarters.
At this moment, everyone lost their mind as they rushed forward as fast as they could.
Swoos.h.!.+
Something else happened. The s.p.a.ce where jade pendant was located suddenly thrummed. A young man in a gold robe appeared out of nowhere.
He had never shown himself before, but his sudden appearance only proved that he had mastered the Rules of s.p.a.ce, and was highly skilled too.
“s.h.i.+ Zixuan!”
Ye Jin, Leng Canfeng and the others paled when they saw him. Their expressions were soon replaced by immense anger.
s.h.i.+ Zixuan had not joined them when they had been pursuing the man in the hemp top. In fact, he had never been present.
And now that they had killed the man in the hemp top, s.h.i.+ Zixuan apparently wanted to be the third party that enjoyed the benefits. The nerve of him!
“I’ll take that. Thanks!” s.h.i.+ Zixuan beamed as he took hold of the colorful jade pendant. He had waited a long time for this. He was just there to pick up the profits while the two sides quarrelled, as simple as that.
“d.a.m.n it!”
“Dream on!”
“Leave it here!”
The angry mob attacked again, charging at s.h.i.+ Zixuan this time.
But s.h.i.+ Zixuan had come prepared. He did not panic at all. In a flash, he grabbed the jade pendant and disappeared on the spot. By the time he had reappeared, he was already beyond reach.
He dared not linger and, instead, ran away quickly. Even with his strength, he could not possibly have outrun the mob, especially since there were thousands of people coming after
him.
Moreover, the Rules of s.p.a.ce was not all powerful. If the s.p.a.ce was unstable or the fluctuation of being attacked was too strong, he could not escape.
“You can’t run!” a cold voice sounded. Di Yihun, who had been keeping calm, finally got serious. A terrifying light flashed in his eyes.
