Leis Jing (Please Follow on Tuesday)

"Ran?" Benfield froze, then immediately took flight in pursuit of Sean, sending mentally, "How did you know someone was approaching?"

At the same time, Augusta's five experts also noticed something was wrong. They immediately used Sovereign's Might and gave chase at full speed.

Seeing this, both Sean's side and Benfield's side had no choice but to use Sovereign's Might as well.

Boom~~~ More than a dozen dazzling streams of Sovereign's Might streaked through the skies above the Plane Battlefield.

Even with Sovereign's Might, everyone's divine sense had its limits. The three groups headed in different directions, and before long, they were beyond one another's divine-sense range. Sean only sensed the fluctuations of Sovereign's Might from the other two directions. Soon after, even fiercer ripples came through, indicating that they had likely begun fighting.

Being besieged by several peak experts carried its own risks, but Sean had no time to think about those two now. He himself was under siege as well.

"Monroe, Wuman, Benfield?"

Surrounded by three peak experts, Sean considered how to escape.

One excelled in speed, one in material attacks, and one in soul attacks. His own attacks would likely be ineffective against them as well. Wuman possessed a Soul Defense Lord God Artifact, while Monroe was a Light Law expert with a soul even stronger than Livas's had been.

Monroe stepped forward and said, "Sean, for the sake of your conflict with the Four Divine Beasts Family, I'll give you a quick death."

"Then I should thank you." Sean smiled faintly. "But killing me won't be so easy."

Wuman suddenly displayed his Mace Sovereign Artifact and said coldly, "It truly won't be easy to kill you. But do you think the three of us working together can send you into Space Turbulence?"

"Then let's try it!" Sean looked at Monroe again.

Wuman was right. If the three joined forces, it truly would not be difficult for them to blast him into the Space Turbulence deep underground. Nor could he escape, because Monroe's Light Law speed was faster than his. Furthermore, Monroe's Light Flexibility Profound Mystery was exceptionally good at entangling opponents; even Leis Jing found it difficult to escape from it.

In this situation, he seemingly could only rely on the Soul Seed. If he could plant a Soul Seed in Monroe, who lacked a Soul Defense Lord God Artifact, then the two of them could deal with Wuman and Benfield together.

But Monroe was a peak expert. Sean had never tried the Soul Seed on someone of that level, and Monroe was also using Sovereign's Might. He had no idea whether it would succeed.

And if it succeeded, it would likely alert the Bright Master. But at present, he seemed to have no other choice. He could only deal with the future when it came.

"Haha, die!" Monroe roared and charged forward. Countless fine threads formed from Light Sovereign Power spread out like a spiderweb, directly sealing off the sky around Sean.

Sean had just prepared to attack when he suddenly discovered that Sovereign's Might had erupted from the ground beneath him. A terrifying force shot up from underground, but its target was not him—it was Monroe.

"Leis Jing!" Monroe roared furiously and slapped at the purple Short Spear shooting out from the earth.

The immense power of the Material Attack Sovereign Artifact still sent him flying. Benfield and Wuman behind him also flew over.

"Hahahaha~~" A childlike laugh rang out from underground. A small youth clad head to toe in purple armor flew up from beneath the earth.

Sean, however, frowned deeply. He could not understand why none of them, despite using Sovereign's Might, had noticed Leis Jing approaching. Perhaps some of them had not been paying much attention to their surroundings, but Leis Jing's ability to conceal his aura was simply terrifying.

If that was the case, could even his soul power fail to detect him?

Leis Jing glanced back at Sean, then turned to Monroe and waved his hand. "Monroe, Wuman, you can get lost now."

"Leis Jing, do you think we're afraid of you?" Wuman said coldly.

"Haha, then let's try it." Leis Jing held his Short Spear as a purple glow emerged within a thousand meters around him.

Wuman, Monroe, and Benfield immediately felt an immense gravitational force. Sean, however, was completely unaffected, though he knew that they were already within the Purple Thorn Space.

"Sean, leave Benfield to you. I'll deal with Wuman. How about it?" Leis Jing suddenly sent mentally.

"No problem." Sean naturally did not fear a turtle shell, but he still asked, "What about Monroe?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Attack." Leis Jing laughed.

Sean asked no further questions and flew directly toward Benfield. Meanwhile, Monroe joined Wuman in attacking Leis Jing. Countless threads of light appeared again, all shooting toward the area around Leis Jing.

Just then, another aura of Sovereign's Might suddenly erupted within the Purple Thorn Space. An enormous black sphere appeared in the air, and countless tentacles likewise shot toward Leis Jing's surroundings, easily corroding away Monroe's rays of light.

"Mekodo, you really came too." Monroe did not seem particularly surprised. He stopped in midair and looked at the black sphere, roughly ten meters across. "Only your innate gift could allow you to approach us while we were using Sovereign's Might without being discovered."

"Mekodo." Sean, who had been idling alongside Benfield, looked back in surprise.

Sean knew of Mekodo as well. It was said that he had originally been a stone deep within an abyss on the Dark God Plane. After countless hundreds of millions of years, he had suddenly become a deity.

Unlike Heimos, Mekodo did not possess especially formidable strength, but his ability to conceal his aura was terrifying. This was not a Profound Mystery, but an innate gift. It was said that when he had been a Lower God, he could transform into a stone and hide inside a city, while none of the surrounding Highgods could discover him.

Relying on that bizarre ability to evade detection, he successfully cultivated to Asura level. Later, while adventuring in Hell, he was taken in by the Bauhinia Lord God as a Lord God Emissary.

A deep voice came from within the black sphere. "Why haven't you gotten lost yet?"

"Hmph, Mekodo, your innate gift truly is powerful, but once you use divine power, you'll inevitably be exposed." Monroe said arrogantly, "And now you've even used Sovereign's Might. Can you still hide? What use is acting tough before us?"

The person within the black sphere laughed. "It's true that I can't do anything to you, but holding you back is enough. Young Master Leis Jing is also more than capable of dealing with Wuman."

In the distance, Leis Jing had already exchanged blows with Wuman. The two fought until the heavens and earth seemed to overturn. Within the powerful Purple Thorn Space, Wuman was forced into constant danger. Even with two Sovereign Artifacts, it was useless. The Purple Thorn Space naturally restrained experts like him who lacked a Defense Sovereign Artifact.

Sean and Benfield continued idling, knowing neither could do anything to the other. They simply waited for their Sovereign's Might to run out before continuing to stand there. Sovereign's Might was not precious to them, but it still could not be wasted.

Seeing Wuman fall into danger, Monroe finally shouted, "Retreat!"
