"Found you!"
Chen Yu glanced at the pale man and the five light screens in front of him.
The pale man’s eyes revealed shock and disbelief.
Chen Yu was too fast; he had broken through all the traps he set in such a short time.
Wait, found "you"? Shouldn’t it be "you all"?
The pale man glanced around and discovered the clown was gone; that guy had retreated earlier.
"You don’t seem like part of the Human Race."
Chen Yu stared at the pale man and said.
Although he seemed very human-like, his aura was completely different.
Since he was of an alien race and had attacked Chen Yu and others earlier, there was no need for courtesy.Swish!
Chen Yu swung his claw, and five fierce gold-red claw marks shot towards the pale man like arrows.
"Even if you’ve found me, thinking you can kill me is too naive."
White energy surged around the pale man, merging into his palm, forming a bright light ball that shot out.
Boom!
The two forces collided, and powerful waves continued to pound the surroundings.
"Didn’t expect the mastermind to have decent strength."
Chen Yu laughed.
The pale man said nothing but looked even more displeased with Chen Yu.
If it weren’t for Chen Yu breaking through the barrier in an instant, finding this place, he could eliminate everyone here and prove himself.
Whoosh!
The pale man threw down a metal sphere and quickly retreated, attempting to escape.
"Hehe!"
Chen Yu chuckled lightly.
The pale man wasn’t stupid; although his fight with Chen Yu ended in a draw, he was distracted, lowering his control over the mechanical puppets.
While these mechanical puppets possessed their own intelligence, they had flaws, unlike his full control.
...
On the other side, after Chen Yu escaped the barrier, the pressure on everyone else certainly increased.
Especially for Yan Su, facing two mechanical puppets with similar strength, he was now in disarray, running around chaotically.
"That guy didn’t even injure the puppets before leaving."
Yan Su’s hatred for Chen Yu grew.
On the other side, Zuo Zhushan saw Yan Su’s situation and was rather pleased, showing no intention of helping.
Yan Su’s strength wasn’t weak, and the more injured he became, the more it benefited Zuo Zhushan’s plan.
"However, based on prior commotion, there seems to be obstruction outside the barrier; Chen Yu shouldn’t find the mastermind this quickly..."
Zuo Zhushan furrowed his brow.
The enemy was stronger than anticipated; he hoped Chen Yu wouldn’t die too quickly, at least cause trouble for the mastermind.
In this way, they could reverse the situation and proceed with Zuo Zhushan’s planned development.
Just at this moment.
The mechanical puppet in front, a girl, became agitated, bloodthirsty, and mad.
Boom! Boom!
Brilliant waves of green flames burst forth.
The sudden change in the enemy caused a momentary panic in Zuo Zhushan, but he quickly stabilized.
The enemy seemed fiercer, but also had more flaws. Once stabilized, Zuo Zhushan gained control, guiding the enemy into his rhythm.
"Looks like that kid found the mastermind."
Zuo Zhushan thought internally, that speed was fast indeed.
Others gradually noticed this; the mechanical puppets became easier to handle, and the surroundings’ array showed minor disturbances.
"That kid is quite fast."
Yan Su breathed a slight sigh of relief; his crisis situation eased.
"Good, now deal with these puppets, break the array, and eliminate the enemy."
Zuo Zhushan commanded.
Yan Su didn’t respond; he had other thoughts.
The enemy indeed targeted him. Though Chen Yu found the mastermind, he might not be able to kill him.
Thus, there was no need to fight to the death here; he would escape when the opportunity arose.
That’s why he promised earlier not to take any spoils.
...
The pale man fled after tossing the metal sphere.
The sphere cracked open, countless metallic tendrils extended, wrapping towards Chen Yu.
But Chen Yu had seen such tactics before, countering them more effortlessly.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
He swung his claws in the air; before the metallic tendrils reached Chen Yu, he sliced them all apart and even destroyed the metal sphere.
After dealing with the metal sphere, Chen Yu quickly pursued.
In terms of speed, the pale man was far inferior to Chen Yu, caught in just three breaths.
"Human, dare you to chase and kill me?"
The pale man showed a hint of viciousness.
He threatened Chen Yu, but it had no effect.
"I dare to do more than just chase you."
Chen Yu replied coldly.
Slash! Slash!
The White Tiger Sacred Claw swung repeatedly, sending chilling sharp claw marks that tore out, leaving grooves on the ground and walls.
"You..."
The pale man was infuriated by Chen Yu.
Boom!
He gathered yuan power and struck, a shining white ball of light crashing, blocking Chen Yu’s attack.
The pale man’s cultivation reached four and a half stars, his foundation strong, yuan power mighty, yet somehow, his combat skills were poor, not a match for Chen Yu.
"You’re the weakest four and a half stars King I’ve ever seen."
Chen Yu bluntly stated.
The pale man’s mouth twitched, he didn’t refute.
This race’s biggest flaw was weak combat capability, but no race dared to underestimate them, not even the currently strongest races in the main world.
"You can’t kill me; pursuing me is a waste of effort. Why not return and check on your brothers?"
The pale man revealed a sly smile.
Chen Yu frowned slightly. Logically, since he was chasing the mastermind, the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect and the Frost Hall should be able to turn the situation around.
Suddenly, Chen Yu realized something.
Earlier, that girl’s mechanical puppet referred to "us."
Which meant there was more than one mastermind behind the scenes.
"Seems like you’ve figured it out."
The pale man smirked confidently at the corner of his mouth.
When the clown suddenly escaped, he was very angry, suspecting if that guy was there to cause trouble.
But later, the clown transmitted a message to him that the other party was going to capture the target.
Boom!
Chen Yu’s White Tiger Sacred Claw released an even stronger aura, the five claws came together, cutting out a gold and red crescent, rushing forward frantically.
"Are you really not going to help them!"
The pale man was slightly startled.
"Killing you is helping them."
Chen Yu coldly shouted, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings behind him erupted into roaring flames, shooting out sharp and scorching fire feathers one by one.
The pale man felt that this person’s mindset was unusual.
But he had no time to consider that; Chen Yu, after going all out, was astonishingly powerful, close to the level of a five-star king.
The pale man took out a Turtle Pattern Shield, curled up inside it like a turtle.
The Turtle Pattern Shield had amazing defensive power, blocking all of Chen Yu’s attacks.
"This guy has quite a few good items on him."
Even Chen Yu had to admire it a bit.
He knew mechanisms, could control puppets, had some strange and rare items, and plenty of high-quality profound artifacts.
"I told you, chasing me is just a waste of effort, you can’t kill me."
The pale man said lightly and calmly.
Chen Yu didn’t reply, instead proving it with his actions.
Heart Slaying TechniqueHeart Splitting!
Chen Yu’s heart shook violently, without warning, an invisible shock erupted in the void, a powerful shockwave instantly transmitted to the pale man’s heart.
Pff!
The opponent spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, his originally pale skin now ashen like a corpse.
"...Heart Slaying Technique, are you from the Blood Race?"
The pale man’s eyes widened in immense surprise.
Chen Yu couldn’t help but laugh; the pale man was a bit comical, with lots of tricks and strong survivability. Chen Yu had been pursuing him for a while yet hadn’t injured him.
But the pale man’s constitution was too weak. The effect of the ’Heart Slaying Technique’ was outstanding, heavily injuring him in one strike.
The pale man didn’t wait for Chen Yu’s answer, he took out a flying tool and threw out a colorful bead.
When Chen Yu saw the colorful bead, a sense of foreboding rose, and he strengthened his defense.
Buzz!
The colorful bead shone with brilliant light, an astonishing force suddenly erupted, multicolored flames burst out from inside, the terrifying power of the flames raged and devastated everything.
Facing the force produced by the colorful bead, Chen Yu immediately stopped his advance, retreated backward, and a Star Pattern Robe appeared on him, defending with all his might.
Boom!
After the explosion, Chen Yu was buried.
The flame bead left many burn marks on his body, appearing somewhat horrifying.
But most of it was just superficial wounds, and his medium immortal body would soon recover.
"That colorful bead contains the powers of multiple mystical True Fire Spirit Flames!"
The colorful bead was considered a trump card; unfortunately, it didn’t kill Chen Yu, not even considered a heavy injury.
In comparison, Chen Yu’s ’Heart Slaying Technique’ instead heavily injured the opponent’s heart.
The enemy had already fled, and Chen Yu prepared to go back and check.
But suddenly.
Thump thump! Thump thump!
Chen Yu’s mysterious heart began to beat faster, seeming to convey an urgent desire.
The stronger the desire, the more important it was to the mysterious heart, Chen Yu had long concluded this.
And now, the intensity of this desire exceeded any previously suitable situation, causing Chen Yu’s expression to change drastically, and he rushed downward swiftly.
The pale man piloted the flying tool, rushing out of the ground at great speed.
"Damn, the Flame Pearl was wasted."
The pale man was a bit distressed; this bead had great power and was considered his trump card, the power it unleashed in an instant could kill a five-star king.
"I wonder how Mo Sandong is doing."
The pale man murmured.
At this moment, a red dot on the light screen in front of the flying tool shone brighter, blood-red and dazzling.
At the same time, a second red dot reappeared, flickering constantly, and then quickly vanished.
...
Underground.
Originally, the situation was improving, several mechanical puppets were about to be dealt with by the group.
But suddenly, three more puppets appeared, their shapes very strange, even extremely ugly.
Yet these three ugly puppets had formidable combat power, just slightly weaker than the girl’s mechanical puppet.
The addition of the ugly puppets caused them to suffer a massive defeat instantly.
And the originator of it all stood at the giant gate, with a sinister clown’s sneer gazing at them.
"Humans, obediently follow Brother Dong."
The clown laughed evilly.
In front of him, Yan Su was covered in blood, lying on the ground with a ghastly pale face.
"I haven’t lost yet!"
Yan Su looked fierce, finally removing the iron ring from his left index finger.
"Not good, you’re going to use that power..."
The clown quickly realized, ordering the puppets to attack, even if it meant killing Yan Su, they had to stop him.
Boom!
The moment the iron ring fell off Yan Su’s index finger, his finger blackened, with ancient and intricate patterns appearing on it, while a forbidden aura spread forth.
Everyone around immediately felt their skin crawl, pressured into immobility.
And as Chen Yu returned underground, the desire of his heart was incredibly strong, as if it was about to ignite.
A scene suddenly appeared in his mind, of a black finger.
Chen Yu was surprisingly curious why the mysterious heart so desired a finger.
