Still shaken, Feng Zuo forcibly suppressed the urge to curse and hurriedly used his remaining soul power to regain his speed.
Once he regained his speed, his first instinct wasn't to look at the road or the monster behind him.
Instead, he widened his eyes and glared at Li Yu with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
Those eyes were filled with accusation and desperate questioning, as if saying:
'You fucking did that on purpose!'
Upon seeing this, Li Yu simply shrugged innocently and spread her hands, her expression seemingly in response:
'See, what did I just say? I told you to watch where you're going, didn't I?'
At this moment, Feng Zuo had no doubt that as long as he abandoned Li Yu, all misfortune would immediately leave him.
But his belief in the Soul Master made him suppress the urge to abandon the "burden" and decide to persevere.
In order to fulfill the Soul Master's command, Feng Zuo mobilized the last wisp of thin white mist essence within his body, and his body struggled once again to suddenly accelerate.
The stitched ghosts behind saw Feng Zuo running faster and faster, getting further and further away, and watching as their target was about to disappear into the distance.
It finally panicked and let out an even more ferocious and unwilling roar:
"Awooo—!"
Immediately afterwards, the arms that were sewn onto the ghost's body seemed to receive some command and suddenly began to swing wildly, tearing at their own soul.
Under the self-destructive attack, clumps of white mist were forcibly peeled from the massive soul body of the stitched ghost, falling continuously to the ground, while its arms and legs were also constantly being lost in the self-destructive attack.
Its size shrank rapidly to the naked eye, and the number of its arms and legs decreased sharply, but its speed increased dramatically!
As the stitched ghost grew smaller and smaller, with a significant reduction in the number of arms and legs, its speed increased dramatically.
The stitched ghost, as if shedding its heavy shell, with endless madness, once again closed the distance to the burning comet in front of it!
Feng Zuo felt a chill run down his spine, as if something was chasing after him. He turned around sharply and glanced back.
The monster had shrunk several times in size, but it was more compact and faster, chasing after them with tremendous force!
Countless eyes on the monster were staring intently at him, their eyes filled with nothing but a pure obsession with destruction!
Feng Zuo was shocked and immediately turned his head back in fright.
Damn it!
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
He was too naive. He thought he could get away with his own speed, but he didn't expect that the monster could increase its speed by shrinking its size.
Monsters really can't be judged by common sense!
Feng Zuo's eyes were filled with solemnity.
He knew the chase was far from over.
He had already used most of his energy to increase his speed, leaving him with no chance to fight the monster to the death.
If they are caught, not only will the Soul Master's mission fail, but he will also surely die.
As Feng Zuo was deep in thought, he suddenly shuddered, his face filled with terror, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to collapse.
300 meters.
A voice as calm as reciting a menu entered Feng Zuo's ears without warning.
Feng Zuo's soul shuddered violently, almost falling apart on the spot!
Li Yu spoke again!
"200 meters."
That faint voice was like a death knell, precisely indicating the distance to death.
"100 meters!"
Li Yu's "kind" reminder rang out again, tinged with a nonchalant indifference:
"If you keep this 'elegant' speed, the back of your head is probably going to have a close encounter with that person's claws."
The string of "rationality and calmness" in Feng Zuo's mind snapped completely!
Feng Zuo, who had been relatively calm, started to panic after Li Yu kept reminding him.
The rhythm that was barely holding on was instantly disrupted!
He felt like he was walking on cotton with every step, and running became increasingly difficult. The roars coming from behind him seemed to be frantically urging him to find a solution.
Faster! Faster!
Feng Zuo's face twisted in pain as he suddenly thought of a desperate measure.
He stretched out his hands and clasped them tightly in front of his chest, squeezing out the last bit of essence from his soul!
Thick white mist struggled to separate and converge from his body, then frantically compressed and collided in his palm!
As Feng Zuo continued his actions, Li Yu was surprised to find that Feng Zuo had actually condensed white mist and forcibly created a mist sphere out of thin air.
The white mist and energy within the fog ball collided and tumbled, like a beating heart, with each beat generating more energy.
Feng Zuo used the last bit of his clarity to glance back at the distance to the monster, frantically calculating the timing in his mind.
As the mist ball in my hand bounced, each pulsation emitted a destructive wave, its surface shimmering with a chilling, pale light.
Jump! Jump! Jump!
The fog ball throbbed violently in his palm like a dying heart.
Feng Zuo silently recited in his heart:
10,
9,
8...
With each pulsation, the energy within the mist sphere grows increasingly violent, and the light becomes even more dazzling!
Like a volcano about to erupt, ready to break free of its restraints and destroy everything in the next second!
When Feng Zuo counted to 5, he flicked his wrist and tossed the dangerous fog ball to the ground silently.
Feng Zuo's speed vanished, but he continued muttering to himself, each number like a tolling death knell:
3,
2,
1!
The moment Feng Zuo finished reading the number 1, the monster behind him caught up with the spot left by the fog ball, and the countdown ended just as well.
"boom!"
The pulsating fog ball burst open instantly with a loud bang.
The sound shook the surrounding mist, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards.
The white mist spread rapidly, reacting with the surrounding dense fog. Powerful shockwaves were violently compressed at the center of the exploding mist sphere, creating a vacuum zone!
"It's done!"
A surge of overwhelming joy, like surviving a calamity, welled up in Feng Zuo's heart!
He didn't expect this last-ditch effort to kill the monster, but as long as he blew off its legs that supported its speed, even if it only slowed it down, he could gain a chance to catch his breath!
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
The smoke and turbulent energy from the explosion were violently torn apart like a curtain by a brute force!
The stitched-together ghost, shrunk to almost human form, rushed out unharmed!
The eyes that covered his entire body now gleamed with a cold cunning.
The moment it spotted the fog ball, it sensed something was wrong and instantly deployed its defenses, condensing an extremely refined gray-white shield on its body surface, protecting itself and the key limbs that supported its speed!
Not only was the stitched ghost unharmed, but it even used the force of the explosion's shockwave to sprint across the ground with its hands and feet, and its speed strangely increased again!
Li Yu glanced back at the stitched ghost continuing its pursuit, closing the distance with each other:
"Your trap doesn't seem very effective."
