A Way to Escape
Flying within the Blood Clan Star Domain is an extremely oppressive experience. All around are dark clouds, and even if you increase your true energy output to break through the clouds and reach the top, you can only see a fairly bright moon.
Here, there is only night.
.
On the contrary, Li Wei's Thunder God's Sword shone brightly, like a lighthouse in the dark night sky.
Because of this, even people on the ground could easily see the direction they were fleeing, let alone the dozen or so powerful vampires who had been following them.
"This won't do, we can't get rid of them at all!" Nina said with some worry. She turned around and could clearly see more than a dozen black dots hundreds of meters behind her.
"Did Hanbani follow us?" Li Wei asked calmly, showing little panic.
"No, he didn't come!" Nina, being a vampire, could clearly sense her fellow vampires. The dozen or so vampires behind her had a maximum combat strength of only A2, so Hanbani obviously hadn't come.
Hearing this, Li Wei remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Nina looked at the mysterious young man and couldn't help but ask, "So, do you have any way to escape? After all, you went to so much trouble to rescue me, you can't just be flying around aimlessly without any plan, can you?"
Li Wei chuckled, "If this is the plan, won't you be very disappointed?"
"Disappointed?" Nina snorted, somewhat annoyed. "Of course I'm disappointed. I don't even know who you are or who sent you. Do you think I wouldn't be disappointed?"
Li Wei was taken aback, realizing that this was why the little girl was angry.
Just as he was about to say something, he sensed something and quickly increased the output of his true energy, making the speed of Thunder God's Sword even faster.
Several thousand meters behind Li Wei, a person enveloped in crimson light rapidly approached, and his speed was even much faster than Li Wei's.
"It's Hanbani!" Nina exclaimed in surprise; she could sense the aura of this powerful figure.
"Hmph, finally couldn't hold back and came after me personally, huh?" Li Wei revealed a smile at this moment, continuing to urge his true energy. However, although he managed to create distance between himself and the A-level vampire, he was unable to shake off Hanbani, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
"You wretched brat, release my son and I might let you go. That's my bottom line. Let me make it clear: I've sealed off all the teleportation arrays in this star system. Now, even if you sprout wings, you won't be able to leave the Blood Clan Star!" Hanbani sneered repeatedly.
He has received responses from several teleportation arrays. Given his status as a prince, it would take him some time to shut down the star field teleportation arrays. Now it seems that everything is ready. As long as these few despicable rats are caught, everything will be resolved.
Now, Hanbani realized that he had most likely fallen into their trap.
From the moment he heard about his youngest son's attack, he fell into a trap. In reality, he kidnapped his youngest son, then used those summoned puppets to lure him out of the manor, and then caused chaos in the manor to attract the attention of another S-class powerhouse. His real purpose was to rescue Nina.
It must be said that this was a very bold plan, especially in that it made excellent use of the author's concern for his youngest son, allowing him to hesitate during the first pursuit and successfully escape the capital.
However, if all teleportation arrays to other star systems are shut down, even the most meticulously planned schemes will be futile. It's like a bird trapped in a cage; no matter how it flies, it can't escape the cage's confinement.
Li Wei was well aware of this, but he still fled for his life. In the sky, the two of them were like two streaks of light, drawing two colorful lines across the dark horizon.
.
"That's about it!" Li Wei calculated the time, immediately turned around, and flew in another direction.
"Trying to run? Let's see how long you can fly!" Hanbani was now truly enraged, and he urged his wings to give chase.
Beneath him, the royal city he had flown away from earlier reappeared in front of Li Wei. Li Wei didn't even look at it and continued flying on his sword. This time, more than a dozen black shadows flew out from the city and surrounded him.
"Hey, are you crazy? Why did you come back again!" Nina's heart was pounding. If it weren't for the confident smile on the boy's face, she would have thought he had gone mad and was just wandering around like a headless fly.
"Of course we have to come back, otherwise, how would Little Hannibal have had time to be transferred? Haha, don't worry, just wait and see the show!" At this moment, Li Wei took out a crystal from his hand, looked at the prompt information on it, and finally revealed a smile.
The Thunder God's Sword unleashed another burst of electricity, and the people in the Vampire Royal City saw only a dazzling streak of light flash across the sky, immediately screaming in alarm.
Hanbani, in pursuit, began to feel uneasy. He wondered if the man ahead had lost his mind, flying aimlessly and wasting time. But that was fine; when the man was too exhausted to fly any longer, that would be the time to capture him alive. Then... Hanbani grinned maliciously. He had decided to torture the man with the cruelest methods to vent his anger.
"Hey, are you sure you can handle this? You're all sweating!" Nina noticed that the boy hugging her was covered in sweat, clearly exhausted.
Li Wei remained silent. He was indeed on the verge of exhausting his true energy. Flying on a sword was an extremely strenuous activity. If he were flying at a constant speed, he could sustain it for a day without much trouble. However, he was currently maintaining his maximum speed, so he had completely depleted his true energy in just a few hours.
Hanbani was behind, also sensed that the opponent's speed had slowed down considerably, and he was overjoyed.
"Kid, let's see how long you can hold out!"
He made a hand gesture to the Vampire Starfolk following behind him, and they immediately understood, scattering and flying away to block his escape and completely surround him.
Li Wei was forcing himself to endure the exhaustion, as if he were squeezing out the last bit of true energy from his body. He knew that if he could just fly a few thousand more meters, he would win.
"It's around here!" Li Wei suddenly murmured, then changed his sword technique and soared into the sky, flying above the clouds.
"Chase them! We absolutely cannot let them get away!" Hanbani shouted, taking the lead and following behind dozens of A-level vampires.
The cloud layer was no more than a hundred meters thick, Li Wei passed through it in the time it takes to breathe, reaching the sky above the cloud layer.
Here, the bright moonlight looks quite beautiful.
Under the moonlight, a colossal object appeared a hundred meters ahead—a castle constructed of black stone and enormous white bones.
"Finally arrived, the Destroyer's City!" Upon seeing the castle, Li Wei shouted, squeezing out the last bit of his true energy. His speed increased even further, and he instantly rushed into the city.
"An Hei, I'm back! Activate the teleportation right now!" Li Wei shouted before he even landed.
.
Having already made preparations in the city, An Hei activated the inter-stellar teleportation array according to the method Li Wei had instructed him to use.
Instantly, a phantom-like runic array appeared around the Destroyer's City, with rays of light appearing and enveloping the entire castle.
At this moment, Hanbani and his group also emerged from the clouds. Clearly, they were startled when they saw the enormous castle floating in the void.
"By Blood Ancestor, what is this?" A Vampire Starfolk stared dumbfounded at the castle before him, swallowing hard.
Even the powerful vampires were like ants beneath this castle; even Hanbani was stunned for a full three seconds.
"Damn it, this... this is the Destroyer's City!" Hanbani was clearly well-informed, but his voice was filled with fear.
Starfield Destroyer, a profession that strikes fear into the hearts of everyone.
As an S-rank powerhouse in a Level 4 star system, Hanbani naturally knew about the Destroyer. This enormous floating castle was an extremely rare treasure. It could only be controlled by the Destroyer, and like a regular Sand City, it could be upgraded, various buildings could be constructed, troops could be produced, and even... it could be used for inter-star system teleportation!
Wait, is it teleportation?
At this moment, Hanbani felt a chill run down his spine. So that was what the other side was planning. No wonder they were so fearless. Thinking about it more deeply, Hanbani broke out in a cold sweat.
The other party is flying around haphazardly in the air, could it be just to attract my attention? If so, what is the purpose of doing so? If he wants to take Nina away, why doesn't he enter the Destroyer's City sooner?
Could it be...? Hanbani wasn't stupid. He considered one possibility: why would the other party have vanished into thin air at the city gate, right before everyone's eyes?
His purpose in doing this was to attract attention, and more importantly, to let all the city guards see that he had escaped the city.
However, the other party did not bring their youngest son with them at the time!
"Damn it, he has another accomplice!" Hanbani slapped his forehead, shouted, and charged toward the Destroyer's City. Although he feared the Destroyer, they were only Destroyer from a Level 2 star system, and their combat power was not enough to contend with that of a Level 4 star system. Such an enemy had to be nipped in the bud, otherwise, there would be endless troubles.
Although he had already guessed that the other party's accomplice had probably taken advantage of this time to escape to the castle with his youngest son.
"Everyone, we absolutely cannot let them escape!" Hanbani was already anxious. His face was flushed, and he took the lead in gathering all his strength, launching a black ball of light towards the Destroyer's City that was currently being teleported.
The surrounding vampire powerhouses also reacted and hurriedly unleashed their strongest combat power to attack the black castle.
Inside the castle, Li Wei looked at the colorful attack and revealed a hint of mockery.
"Do you realize it now? Too bad, it's too late. You'll never get your youngest son back, and the hatred between us is probably beyond redemption. Next time I come, I'll devour your entire Blood Clan Star Domain. Just you wait and see!"
Just as the attack beam was about to strike the Destroyer's City, the massive castle flashed in a white light and then disappeared into the night sky.
