Fuck!
Without a second thought, Li Su turned and ran.
Too close—far too close!
He was positioned right within the radiation range of Eight-Thousand-Foot Mountain's latest eruption. If he stayed where he was, at most ten seconds later, a rain of demon beasts would come pouring down around him.
Fuck me.
He was a full two hundred li away from Eight-Thousand-Foot Mountain—two hundred li!
A rain of demon beasts covering two hundred li—just how massive was that? How many demon beasts would it take? Ten-Mile Still Lake had only a little over a hundred thousand demon beasts. Wasn't this ten times that number?
Cursing all the while, Li Su ran at top speed.
Barely a second before the rain of demon beasts fell, he narrowly ran beyond the covered area.
Though he had made it out, he clearly had not gone far—only around a hundred meters.
The instant the demon beasts landed, dozens of incomparably savage gazes locked onto him. A stench-laden gust of blood rushed at him as they pounced.
Five of those auras stood out.
Wolf demons!
Their hides were grass-green, their expressions exceptionally vicious. The hairs on their torsos stood one by one like swords and needles; as they ran, they actually rang out like clashing steel.
Their speed was terrifyingly fast.
The instant they began their mad dash, they tore through the air, creating a dreadful sonic boom.
Mach one, Mach two, Mach three.
In the blink of an eye, a green demon wolf lunged at Li Su at nearly Mach five—roughly 1,700 meters per second.
That fast?
Li Su's eyes narrowed slightly, surprise flashing through them.
Speed represented power.
An explosive burst above Mach five would be terrifying even among Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was peak-level—not the peak of ordinary disciples, but the peak of
