The Blue Knight Who Suffered Backlash
The High Singer head had been smashed slowly writhed on the ground, gradually being swallowed up. In the distance, a new figure was gradually emerging. The next moment, the High Singer whose head had been smashed resurfaced in the distance in a bizarre manner.
His smashed head was visibly regenerating. Lu Yuan's breath caught in his throat as he gasped for air. He could actually come back to life?
The High Singer reached out and touched the spot where the hammer had smashed open, letting out a long sigh, "So, I've lost a life."
The High Singer rubbed his newly healed half of his face, exchanged a glance with the Leader, and neither of them spoke first.
"Don't touch that man yet," the High Singer added, "Interesting combat experience."
The Leader did not refute.
Seeing this, the Blue Knight finally couldn't hold on any longer. The enormous backlash hit her, and her vision went black as she fell into a coma.
Brunkel looked at the Heretic Grand Leader had risen again, then at the fallen Blue Knight, and knew in her heart that they were finished. They had not seized their last chance, and now, all they could do was take the Blue Knight and leave this place.
The Blue Knight lay in her arms, the shimmering aura around him growing stronger, as if it might dissipate at any moment. Blood dripped from between her fingers, falling to the ground and being swallowed by the dark red earth.
She scooped up the Blue Knight and rushed off into the distance. She knew very well that she couldn't let the Blue Knight stay there any longer; if he stayed any longer, he would only die.
Brunkel knew perfectly well that the Blue Knight had thrown the punch, but the opportunity had been created by that man. All of the Leader's tricks had been absorbed by him, allowing the Blue Knight to reach the High Singer's ankle.
Lu Yuan's gaze lingered for a moment on the direction in which Brunkel had carried the Blue Knight away.
After regaining his Sanity V), this was the first time in this world that he truly harbored murderous intent.
The Leader said, "Stop delaying with them," but the one who truly didn't intend to drag things out any longer was Lu Yuan.
Brunkel, carrying the Blue Knight, had already covered a distance of over a hundred meters.
But they can't escape, because Lu Yuan knows that every inch of this world is closely connected with those Heretic, and every writhing piece of Flesh under their feet is their eyes. How far can Brunkel run with an unconscious person in her arms? It's only a matter of time before she's discovered and caught.
Right now, the dozens of hands that the Leader had placed in front of Lu Yuan were slowly closing in, and the High Singer who had grown a new head was also beginning to drift towards Lu Yuan. If either of these two people were to free up their hands to chase after the Blue Knight and Brunkel, then the two of them would be doomed without a doubt. There was no other possibility.
So Lu Yuan didn't linger. He moved instantly. Instead of rushing towards the Leader, he used the repulsive force to stab diagonally into the ground. The several huge, Flesh hands blocking his way closed at the same time. Lu Yuan punched the one in front of him and forcefully shouldered the two that came from the side, squeezing out through the gap between the hands.
With a loud bang, Lu Yuan landed on the ground in front of Brunkel, scattering dark red rotting flesh everywhere.
Brunkel abruptly stopped and tightened her grip on the Blue Knight's arm.
"Stop running, you can't escape," Lu Yuan said without turning around, his gaze fixed on the figures in mid-air. "Stay behind me, back up a bit. This world is full of Heretic; even if you run far enough, it's only a matter of time before you're discovered."
Brunkel lowered her head and glanced at the Blue Knight in her arms. The light flashing around the Blue Knight was growing faster and faster, and blood began to flow down her fingers, dripping into the dark red earth, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Brunkel knew, of course, that what he said was true, because the blood of the Blue Knight had already begun to merge with this world.
Even if she tries to run away, where can she go? It seems that there are Heretic's spies everywhere in this world. If they are caught, they won't even have a chance to fight back. Right now, the only one they can rely on is Lu Yuan. If he can't stop them, no one can leave this world.
So Brunkel didn't hesitate any longer. Instead, he hoisted the Blue Knight onto his back, turned around, and retreated several hundred meters behind Lu Yuan, getting far away from where those Flesh could reach.
Deep within the fog, the rumbling sound of bones colliding paused for a moment.
The Seventh Seat clearly noticed the unusual situation. He could tell that the Blue Knight and Brunkel had reached their limit. Fighting across ranks on someone else's territory, it was already quite remarkable that they could hold off a Fifth Order for so long. But that wasn't the important thing. The most important thing was that the three Heretic Grand Leader who came this time were all skilled at long-range maneuvering. Even the Seventh Seat found it somewhat difficult to deal with them.
Hundreds and thousands of bone spikes continued to converge from all directions. The blue light on the Seventh Seat skeleton flashed suddenly, and the next moment, Deep Blue lightning bolt swept across, blasting the surrounding bones into dust, which scattered in all directions.
He flashed past the blasted opening and instantly appeared beside Lu Yuan.
The Bone Controller did not choose to give chase. He seemed somewhat weary, slowly skimming across the sky and landing beside the Leader. On the other side, the vengeful spirits beneath the High Singer's feet coalesced again, lifting him slowly into the air, and then drifted away as well.
Lu Yuan and the Seventh Seat stood on the ground and raised their heads.
The three great leaders hovered in mid-air, looking down at the two of them.
Lu Yuan turned his head to look at the violent blue arcs of electricity on the Seventh Seat's skeleton, and a plan was already forming in Lu Yuan's mind.
Of the three, the Bone Controller, because he simply won't engage in direct combat. The net woven from his bones is even denser than the Leader's giant hand. If Lu Yuan were to rush in with his current somewhat clumsy levitation skills, it would be no different than walking into a trap. Therefore, the Bone Controller can only be dealt with by the Seventh Seat.
The Leader's restrictions were equally strong, but compared to the Bone Controller, he was at least a close-combat specialist.
As for the High Singer, given Lu Yuan's rationality and resilience, he should be able to withstand his singing.
"Could you help me stall them for a bit?"
The Seventh Seat turned his head to look at Lu Yuan, who had spoken, and nodded.
He didn't know what the young man in front of him was up to, but for now, they could only rely on each other.
Lu Yuan continued, "I'm going to kill that guy."
Lu Yuan did not reveal his target, but instead fixed his gaze on the three figures floating in mid-air.
The Seventh Seat nodded again.
