In the forest, Chi Chen sped along, with the mysterious Ascension Realm expert close behind him.
"Damn it, at this rate we'll be caught up sooner or later!"
Chi Chen cursed under his breath. Although he was extremely familiar with this mountain forest and could nimbly overcome obstacles as he moved, he felt waves of weakness throughout his body and mind, and a sharp pain shot through his chest, which greatly slowed him down.
This is the consequence of his constant use of spiritual power and the strange energy in his chest.
Behind them, a mysterious being at its peak, in the Ascending Realm, was rapidly increasing its speed in pursuit. The obstacles in the forest offered no resistance whatsoever to its savage pursuit.
Even at his peak, Chi Chen knew from that previous attack that he was no match for that mysterious Ascension Realm expert.
If it weren't for the protection of the Battle Saint Armor, that single attack would have killed Chi Chen.
"What should we do? Where did the instructors go? What exactly happened?"
Now, Chi Chen understood that this was definitely not a simple trial; there must be secrets and plans hidden within it that these newcomers were unaware of.
And they have most likely become pawns in this scheme.
"roar!"
Behind him, the wolf-shaped creature roared angrily, suddenly uprooted a tree beside it, and hurled it powerfully towards Chi Chen.
Chi Chen sensed the trees rapidly approaching from behind, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly dodged to the side.
"boom!"
Trees crashed down in front of Chi Chen, scattering countless fragments and dirt, blocking his path. But in that very moment, the wolf-shaped mystery appeared behind him.
Chi Chen turned around, his face pale, and looked at the mysterious figure rushing towards him.
Is a desperate gamble the only option now?
However, given the vast difference in realm and combat power, even with the Battle Saint Intent and Battle Saint Armor, how many rounds could he possibly withstand against this mysterious Ascension Realm expert?
"roar!"
When the wolf-like mystery saw that Chi Chen had stopped running away and was instead watching it warily with a long knife in its hand, its fangs bared on its leopard head, and a hint of mockery appeared in its eyes.
Upon seeing this, Chi Chen was slightly taken aback, feeling that this scene seemed somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, Chi Chen's pupils contracted. Yes, it was the spider-shaped mystery he had encountered with Lin Bai. Chi Chen had seen a similar look in the spider-shaped mystery's compound eyes before.
At first, Chi Chen didn't think much of it, but now he understands that the look in his eyes was definitely not the kind of mysterious look one would give when looking at food.
It's like, yes, like there's another person watching you through the eyes of that mysterious head.
That hint of mockery came from that other person.
"Who are you?!"
Chi Chen spoke coldly, his back arched, and he tightened his grip on his long sword, ready to attack at any moment. At this time, even though Chi Chen knew he was no match for Lan Yue, the surging fighting spirit in his heart, just like when he faced Lan Yue, did not allow him not to fight.
This is the true essence of the Holy Will of Battle: born solely for battle.
If there is an insurmountable mountain in front of you, then just keep climbing it; if there is a bottomless abyss ahead, then just keep stepping forward.
This is what the Holy Will of Battle bestowed upon Chi Chen: fearless courage. What demons and monsters could the Great Sage Equaling Heaven defeat with a single blow, and Chi Chen, of course, would also slay them with a single strike.
Faced with Chi Chen's questioning, the wolf-shaped mystery did not speak, but Chi Chen knew that it must have the ability to speak, because even the spider-shaped mystery that solidified the mirror, even if it could only utter a few words, could indeed speak human language.
"Bang!"
The next second, Chi Chen's figure shot forward, splashing mud under his feet. The long sword in his hand burst out with a white light. The white sword light, which was filled with a strange aura, reappeared and fiercely attacked the mysterious Ascension Realm cultivator in front of him.
Chi Chen knew that he couldn't just sit and wait to die; only by taking action himself could he perhaps have a chance of survival.
Faced with the oncoming blade of light, a hint of surprise flashed in the wolf-shaped mystery's eyes, but its wide-open mouth showed its disdain for Chi Chen's actions.
Even if a mere Radiant Realm youth possesses extraordinary combat power, how could he possibly withstand the mysterious power of an Ascending Realm cultivator?
The wolf-shaped mysterious arm swung out, its surface gleaming with an eerie black light.
"Bang!"
To Chi Chen's astonishment, the blade of light collided with the wolf-shaped mystery's right arm. The blade of light, which could easily kill a Solid Mirror Mystic, could only leave a light white mark on the wolf-shaped mystery's right arm.
"Bang!"
With a slight exertion of his wolf-like right arm, the mysterious figure swayed to the side, sending Chi Chen flying backward once more, crashing heavily into a large tree.
"puff!"
Under the immense force of the shockwave, even though the Battle Saint Armor blocked most of the power for Chi Chen, Chi Chen felt a sweet taste in his throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and experienced a sharp pain in his back and chest.
Chi Chen crashed to the ground from the tree, but he endured the pain and quickly got up. He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at the wolf-shaped mystery with a ferocious expression.
Now, Chi Chen felt no fear, only boundless fighting spirit and anger.
"Oh? You can actually stand up? What exactly are the armor phantoms around your body? Do you possess two forbidden abilities? Impossible! A person can only possess one forbidden ability; that's an inviolable rule!"
The wolf-like figure spoke mysteriously, uttering human language with remarkable fluency. He was quite surprised that Chi Chen could still stand up with his sword.
But what interested him more was the Battle Domain and Battle Saint Armor that Chi Chen had simultaneously unleashed.
This time, faced with the wolf-like mystery, Chi Chen remained silent.
Chi Chen charged forward again, seemingly reckless, as he attacked the wolf-shaped mystery.
Upon seeing this, the wolf-like figure's eyes gleamed with even deeper mockery.
"If it weren't for the fact that the higher-ups wanted to spare your life, I really would have slapped you to death!"
The wolf-shaped mystery scoffed and struck out with another palm. His favorite thing was torturing and killing geniuses, but unfortunately, he couldn't kill Chi Chen.
Then, just as the wolf-shaped mystery thought he was about to be struck, Chi Chen's body suddenly reversed downwards in mid-air, barely dodging the wolf-shaped mystery's blow. He then slashed upwards with his long sword, aiming straight for the wolf-shaped mystery's right arm joint.
"Pfft!"
The long blade pierced the wolf's right arm, cutting half an inch into it, and then it could not go any further.
"You...you actually...hurt me?"
The wolf-shaped mystery glared angrily at Chi Chen. Although this was not his true form, the damage the mystery suffered in "descent state" would be reflected back to his own body to some extent.
That's why he hurriedly severed his connection with the spider-like mystery when Zhang Rong instantly killed it last time!
"Bang!"
The enraged wolf-shaped mysterious creature swung its left palm down, sending Chi Chen flying once more. In mid-air, Chi Chen spat out another mouthful of blood before crashing to the ground, rolling several times. This time, Chi Chen was unable to get up quickly.
He endured three attacks from the mysterious wolf-like creature, and even he was severely injured.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the mountains, a man looked at the bloodstains on his right arm with extreme anger. He had actually been injured by a mere Radiant Realm youth.
"Ha, trash!"
A woman in a long red dress scoffed from the side.
But before the man could reply, a burly figure appeared in front of them; it was Cheng Hu.
"It's you!?"
Cheng Hu looked at the two people in front of him with a very ugly expression. The man and woman were named Duan Sheng and Lu Yao. They were Duan Tian's former subordinates, one of the three deputy commanders of the Great Xia War Zone. These two had disappeared for many years, but he never expected to meet them here today!
"So that big fish is Duan Tian?"
Cheng Hu's face was gloomy. Although they had guessed it before, they were still shocked when it was confirmed. Why would Duan Tian, one of the deputy commanders of the Great Xia War Zone, do such a thing?
Why would he collude with those lunatics from the Heretic Forbidden Zone?
"Oh? It seems the boss was right, they were prepared all along. But so what?"
Lu Yao licked his scarlet lips and whispered, causing Cheng Hu's expression to change.
Before him stood a figure that looked exactly like Cheng Hu.
"The 012 sequence of forbidden magic words can confuse people's minds, drive them to evil, and can also summon demonic shadows by relying on the enemy in front of them."
Cheng Hu looked at the dark gray figure that was exactly the same as himself. The opponent's combat power was exactly the same as his own. It could be said that he had perfectly copied everything about him. In other words, he could even possess his own forbidden ability. Even if he could not perfectly copy it, he would still have 90% of the ability.
Coupled with Lu Yao's own combat strength, Cheng Hu felt a sense of pressure.
"Heh, you're scared already?"
Lu Yao's face was slightly pale. Using the magic language to copy the demonic shadow had greatly exhausted her, but she still swayed her waist and chuckled, because they still had many more gifts to prepare.
