When Meng Qi, dressed in a green robe, appeared in the passage behind Master Lu, Guerduo's heart gave a sudden thump, and an indescribable terror filled him.
Master Lu had caught up, and Su Meng had arrived too. Where was the Overlord?
The Overlord, invincible in this age, unrivaled with no legends to challenge him—had failed to stop two "weaklings" who weren't even Heavenly Immortals?
And it didn't seem that the Overlord had simply given them an opening, allowing them to slip past by a hair's breadth or through some strange trick, with him now in hot pursuit. It looked as though the Overlord had been beaten down outright, vanishing without a trace!
Thinking of the Overlord's terrifying strength, the "strongest Heavenly Immortal" he had redefined, and then of Su Meng, whom the Overlord had been unable to stop or even pursue, Guerduo's mind wavered. Terror rose in him, and for a moment he couldn't bring himself to swing his axe. He was filled with fear of Meng Qi.
Whether he had relied on other means or treasures, they were ultimately part of his strength. What could he and Su Daji possibly use to resist him?
This was "Yuan Huang" Su Meng, the one destined to face the tribulation?
Run!
Su Daji had already obtained Chunyangzi's legacy. If they didn't flee now, when would they?
Terror and fear had surfaced in an instant, but Guerduo quickly realized he had overreacted. There might have been some other reason the Overlord had failed to stop them and hadn't pursued—perhaps a mighty figure had intervened. It didn't necessarily mean Su Meng was overwhelmingly powerful. Yet with the treasure already in hand, the urge to flee still became the dominant thought in his mind.
His emotions shifted and his thoughts stirred, brief but intense.
