The trio sped away, sensing a powerful being approaching from behind at incredible speed. They had no idea what the pursuer's intentions were, but if they harbored ill will, all of them could perish here.As the trio fled, a mysterious figure halted mid-air where they had just been. "Not bad. He managed to kill a Human Ghoul. Impressive. But such talent belongs to me now," the figure muttered before vanishing mysteriously. In the next moment, they reappeared a hundred meters away.Meanwhile, Adrian and his companions entered a cave. “What’s going on? Who is that person, and why are they chasing us so relentlessly?” Adrian wondered aloud.They couldn’t recall offending anyone with such power, and the situation didn’t make sense no matter how much they thought about it.Tyron, equally puzzled, echoed Adrian’s confusion. "Who could it be? We haven’t crossed paths with anyone like this."“Maybe it’s not about grudges. Perhaps this person simply wants to kill you,” the Violet Rain Bird
"Keep moving forward!" Adrian urged as they reached a three-way fork. He paused briefly, then laughed. "Well, well, another fork in the road. This could work to our advantage."After examining the new tunnels, Adrian quickly pulled out two items from his pouch. He scattered the same substance at each of the three openings, creating illusions to mislead their pursuer and buy them more time."Are you sure about this, Adrian? Can't he still track our energy and figure out which tunnel we took?" Tyron asked, concern etched on his face.With a reassuring smile, Adrian replied, "No worries."He began weaving a series of complex formations, sending waves of energy that cloaked the entrances in a deceptive mist. The intricate web made it nearly impossible to discern which tunnel they had entered.Tyron watched in astonishment as the three tunnel entrances now appeared identical, obscured by the formations. It was impossible to tell what lay beyond them.Adrian chose the rightmost tunnel
Everything felt shrouded in mystery as the three of them raced forward. They knew that any hesitation could likely lead to their demise. Facing a Divine immortal was no trivial matter. Even though Adrian had the audacity to confront the enemy head-on, the gap in strength was too vast. For now, retreat was their best option.“No time to overthink! Just keep going!” Adrian roared, his eyes burning with frustration. He wanted to fight back, but he knew it was impossible given the current disparity in power.As the trio pressed onward, a terrifying aura suddenly loomed ahead. Another Divine immortal stood in their path, and the trio froze.Adrian’s anger flared. "What’s going on? How are we so unlucky today?"Tyron looked equally grim. They had suspected there might be other powerful beings nearby, but this situation felt unbearable. It was as if there was no way out.Adrian narrowed his eyes. "Since they want to chase us, let’s make our stand here."Tyron's face hardened in agreemen
Sneering coldly, Adrian declared, "Just go, guys. There’s no way this old fool has what it takes to kill me."Boom! As Adrian clashed with the old man, he ordered Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird to run ahead while he held off the old man. Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird hesitated, wanting to step in and help, but they both knew that a Divine immortal was far beyond their capabilities. Even Adrian himself wasn't guaranteed to stand a chance against him. Rushing in would be nothing short of suicidal."Hahaha! Trying to save your companions, you fool? You’ll be dead soon, and they’ll follow right after!" the old man mocked coldly.Adrian's expression turned icy. He wanted nothing more than to kill the old man, but his strength simply wouldn’t allow it.Bam!With a heavy blow, Adrian was sent flying. Pain coursed through his body as he tasted blood. He spat out a mouthful and felt his face pale. Despite the blood trickling down his chin, he glared at the old man with a mix of anger an
Adrian refused to surrender. He faced the old man, knowing that giving in would only lead to his death. With this thought in mind, he charged at the old man, but he was no match for the latter. A powerful wave of energy struck Adrian, sending him flying against the cave wall. Spurt!Blood spilled from Adrian’s mouth as the old man looked at him with a cold smile. "Fight me? How ridiculous. Do you even know who I am?" the old man said."I don’t care who you are! It’s either your death or mine today!" Adrian roared, charging again.The old man shook his head in disappointment as he watched Adrian's reckless attack. To him, Adrian's actions were laughable. Just when it seemed Adrian would strike, he suddenly turned and sprinted away. "Catch me if you can!" Adrian shouted as he dashed into the distance at lightning speed. The old man burst into laughter. "Haha, how amusing! A 'chosen one' who knows nothing but how to run. It’s truly disappointing. But you’ve crossed me today. Do
To Adrian, the identity of the old man didn't matter. Anyone who sought to kill him was an enemy.With explosive fury, Adrian unleashed a barrage of attacks. The old man observed Adrian’s reckless moves and felt insulted, convinced Adrian was mocking him. This only fueled the old man’s rage. He had never encountered someone as audaciously arrogant as Adrian.“Fine, if that’s how you want it!” the old man growled, his fury unchecked. A violent surge of power erupted from him, causing the entire cave and the surrounding landscape to rumble. His voice dripped with malice as he taunted, "Now do you see how weak you are, boy?"Adrian scoffed. "Is that so? We’ll see who’s truly weak."Charging forward, Adrian met the old man’s attack head-on. Their powers collided violently, sending shockwaves rippling outward.Boom!The cave quaked, rocks shattering and raining down. The old man’s strength was overwhelming, and before long, Adrian was sent flying."Adrian!" Tyron and Violet Rain Bird
Adrian had no regard for the old man's feelings. His only focus was to escape quickly. The old man was terrifying, radiating Divine Stage power capable of shattering everything in an instant. It was as if he could tear apart heaven and earth. Relentlessly, the old man pursued Adrian and his companions, intent on exterminating the three of them.In light of this threat, Adrian urged the others to move forward at top speed. With an icy tone, he instructed, "You two, stay behind me. If anything happens, prioritize your safety." The other two understood that ignoring Adrian's orders would lead to disaster. His eyes reflected coldness and terror, leaving no room for doubt.The Violet Rain Bird looked surprised, unsure of Adrian’s plan. If things continued this way, the situation could escalate unpredictably, especially given the threat posed by a Divine Stage.Suddenly, a series of terrifying vibrations erupted ahead, causing Adrian to grow even colder. "Keep pace with me and don’t f
Adrian smiled faintly. "You want to compete with me? You’re not even in my league," he said coldly. "Since that’s the case, let’s face this together!" His anger surged, his killing intent boundless.Seeing this, the old man roared in fury and charged at them. Adrian’s expression turned icy, knowing the old man was determined to drag them all down with him. He aimed to exhaust them completely. Even if he had to risk his life fighting the Human Ghoul, he could still take the treasures from the three of them. Adrian saw through the old man’s plan, and the other two sensed the latter’s intentions as well.Adrian’s expression grew colder as he noticed the Human Ghoul baring its fangs, an evil aura radiating from it. Its massive palm came straight at him, aiming to crush him.Adrian dodged just in time, swiftly moving toward the old man. Realizing Adrian’s plan to stir up chaos, the old man sneered. “Don’t think you can escape so easily. If you want death, I’ll grant it to you." He raised
