Lu Ye even suspected that the reason this overlord-level Female Demon was so powerful was because she had spent years absorbing the energy leaking from the True Phoenix Fire in the Blazing Fire Land.
If that was true, then the True Phoenix Fire must have held a fatal allure for this Female Demon.
The moment he saw her, Lu Ye immediately activated the Windwalk Spirit Pattern to empower the Spirit Boat, raising its already tremendous speed by another level.
Yet the aura pursuing him from behind rapidly closed the distance.
Lu Ye turned his head for a look, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
The Female Demon had actually overtaken him despite setting off later, flying side by side with him.
She was originally a bird-type Monster Beast and possessed overlord-level strength. Even with the Windwalk Spirit Pattern activated, Lu Ye could not match her speed. Unless he could activate the Flying Wing Thorn Tattoo—but its duration had run out, and he could no longer use it.
What reassured Lu Ye somewhat was that although she had caught up, she showed no intention of attacking.
