Andrius’ eyes widened. He had to be careful against a mid-Heavenly Immortal expert, so he left little room for error when escaping, and that was his fastest speed without using the Heavenly Fiend Phoenix wings. Yet, he still could not shake off the expert. He was curious how Greywolf caught up to him.“What?”Greywolf knew what Andrius was thinking the moment he saw Andrius’ expression. With a confident smirk, he said, “You don’t understand how I caught up to you, huh?”Andrius stared straight at him and did not answer.“It’s simple.” Greywolf continued confidently, “It’s because the Immortal Lord has planted a ‘tracking rune’ on your body. As his subordinates, we’re very sensitive to such runes. Even if you’re miles away, we can sense it and track you down.”Only then did Andrius realize there was a tracking rune on him! Almost immediately, he secretly examined his body internally. He had to admit that the Etherium Immortal Lord’s methods were mysterious as it took him thre
Clang! The sound of metal clashing echoed through the sky, accompanied by explosions and roars.After more than a dozen exchanges, Andrius stood his ground against Greywolf with his superb spear techniques. In fact, his spear techniques showed signs of reaching a higher level.Greywolf was confused.“Boy!”After launching another round of attacks, he withdrew the three swords and paused briefly.He stared at the Linebreaker Overlord in Andrius’ hands and asked in a low voice, “Is that spear a supreme-grade immortal artifact?”He was not dumb. His Trifold Slash was an immortal art bestowed by the Etherium Immortal artifact. It was persistent, unyielding, and sharper than ordinary immortal artifacts.Their clashes and his own power level should have destroyed the immortal artifact in Andrius’ hands. Even if not entirely, it would at least have left some marks. However, the immortal artifact in Andrius’ hands showed no signs of damage, and it made Greywolf suspicious.“Do you wa
Clang!The three streams of sword energies were much more agile and fierce. Each collision with the Linebreaker Overlord caused explosive sounds that pierced the ears. After another dozen rounds, Greywolf found himself shocked again. He thought he could crush Andrius easily by temporarily boosting himself to the late Heavenly Immortal stage and using the power of the Trifold Slash. However, the result was another stalemate.No matter how he attacked or raged in fury, he could not defeat Andrius.“Who exactly are you?”While manipulating the three streams of sword energy, Greywolf observed Andrius and shouted at him coldly.Andrius did not answer. Since they were enemies, any words were meaningless. He deflected the sword energy with each thrust and occasionally tried to approach Greywolf.“I refuse to believe I can’t defeat you!”Greywolf could not believe he was being pushed to that point by an early Heavenly Immortal. Shocked and furious, he took out a pill and swallowed it.
“Now that you know, you shall die!”Without wasting more time, Andrius channeled all his immortal essence into the Linebreaker Overlord and combined it with the heavenly fire, unleashing his most powerful attack.Swoosh… The spear cut through space and appeared before Greywolf, aiming right between his eyes.“You…”Enveloped in Andrius’ powerful killing intent, the already-weakened Greywolf could only hastily form a barrier of immortal energy for defense. However, that defense was futile against the Linebreaker Overlord.With just one thrust, Andrius pierced through his head.“You… You’ll pay for this…”Greywolf grinned sinisterly before falling to the ground.That was because, at the last moment, he had sent the message about Andrius possessing immortal blood to the Etherium Immortal Lord. Once the Immortal Lord got involved, Andrius would be doomed.“I’ll pay? You won’t live to see that day!”Andrius snorted and twisted the spear, ensuring Greywolf was dead.At the Ether
Meanwhile, after killing Greywolf, Andrius searched his storage ring and tried to erase the rune mark again. However, his efforts were in vain.The mark remained in his dantian like it had taken root; it could not be expelled. As such, Andrius had no choice but to give up.Then, he returned to the inn in Dragonspire as fast as he could. The inn had returned to its usual calm, and Aria was hiding in a corner in disguise and wearing a hat.“Come out. I’m not inside anymore!” Andrius transmitted a message to Aria from outside.Aria was stunned for a moment but quickly came out of the inn to meet Andrius in a small forest.“Geez…”Aria looked at him reproachfully. “Where did you go? Were you planning to abandon me?”Andrius rolled his eyes. “If I wanted to run away, would I have returned for you? The Etherium Immortal Lord’s experts caught up to us earlier. I had to lure them away.”“What?”Aria’s clear eyes widened in shock. “We traveled such a long distance. How did they catch u
Perhaps Luna wanting to be with her grandmother was the same as Andrius wanting to find Luna. Those were things that had to be done no matter how difficult it was.Andrius replied solemnly, “Okay, I promise you.”Then, he raised his hand and swore, “I, Andrius Moonshade, swear an oath that I will do everything in my power to escort Ms. Aria Yandell safely to Mistveil City.”His calm voice trembled a little, for it was Andrius’ immortal consciousness making an oath with the heavens, and Aria was instantly relieved.After that, the two tried to head outside. However, as soon as they saw the city gates, they stopped. It was because the city gates were under strict martial law, and anyone wishing to leave had to be questioned and even have their aura scanned. On top of that, the person in charge of the scanning was a mid-Heavenly Immortal stage expert, which made things difficult for Andrius and Aria. Although immortals could easily change their appearance, it was difficult to do t
“You two…”One of them looked sly but was the strongest among the three, known as Sentinel Wormtail.He looked at the two with glowing green eyes and snorted. “Come here.”Andrius and Aria exchanged a glance before walking over obediently.Whoosh… Wormtail emitted a beam of light that enveloped Andrius and Aria—it was a method to probe their auras. Soon, he realized their auras were different from the two they were hunting.Thus, he grunted in displeasure, “You can go.”Andrius and Aria quickly walked toward the city outskirts with relief. However, before they could get far… “You two... A man and a woman. You fit the Immortal Lord’s targets and are acting suspiciously. It must be them! Seize them!” Wormtail shouted.Swoosh!The two other Sentinels immediately took action and restrained them.“We’re innocent…”The man immediately knelt and pleaded, “High Immortal, we’re innocent. We’ve lived in Dragonspire for generations and have never defied the Immortal Lord. Please inv
Wormtail laughed in triumph. “Who would’ve thought you would refuse to take the road to heaven but charge into the gates of hell? All of you, get her!”Immediately, the three surrounded Aria from different directions, preventing her from escaping.“Hmph… If you want to catch me, show me what you’ve got!”Aria snorted and waved her sleeve, releasing a cloud of mist.The mist quickly spread into the sky, turning the area hazy and chaotic. Not only did it obscure people’s vision, but it also blocked the perception of immortal consciousness.“Go!”Aria took advantage of the moment to lead the couple away.“Damn it. It’s an illusion fog!”“Quick, use the fan to blow it away.”“Hurry! We can’t let her escape again.”The three Sentinels hurriedly took an immortal artifact fan and began waving it until the mist Aria released gradually dispersed.At the same time, they spread out like lightning, searching in all directions. In just three seconds, they had locked onto the direction Ar
