"What... what was going on?"
The clash in the underground space beneath the houses in the mudflow region west of the Quicksand Maze had been fully displayed before every living being at the Sand China Gathering. In everyone's eyes, when Gui Zhong, Xing Can, and the others from the First Azure Dragon team tracked the aura of the two escaped undead to their reborn lair, they should have swiftly exterminated the two undead, just as before.
Yet in the live broadcast, Xing Can was instantly sent flying, while even Gui Zhong was knocked down by three punches and two kicks from the other side.
The undead seemed to have other important matters to attend to and had no intention of killing everyone. They left first through the mouth in Xing Tian's abdomen.
"I get it. These undead must have used some technique that temporarily boosts their strength, burning the undead essence within their bodies at all costs to obtain such powerful strength. They forced Senior Gui Zhong and Senior Xing Can back, then fled immediately. That had to be it."
"That must be it. How could Senior Gui Zhong and the others possibly lose to undead? Those people had no intention of continuing the fight. It had to be because the time limit on their temporarily enhanced abilities was about to run out."
Most people still had complete faith in Gui Zhong's strength and did not believe these undead could be so formidable. However, there was still a small group among the crowd with keen insight, connecting the earlier events and conducting a comprehensive analysis.
"Hmm, it did look possible that they were fleeing... but when that young man Zhang Chen fought Blood Source earlier, Blood Source did not seem to leave because Zhang Chen had driven him back either.
