How is that possible?
Despite the visual impact and the dragon blood aura emanating from the head, which told him it was no illusion, Chen Ye still looked incredulous!
The physical strength of the Dragon of Clouds and Marshes may not be comparable to that of the True Dragon Bloodline, but it should absolutely not be.
"We've met our nemesis," Chen Ying said calmly, looking ahead. " Flying Jiangshi can't be fooled by illusions because they're like puppets; they lack human emotions and are naturally difficult to control with illusions that exploit emotions. But..."
"That shouldn't be the case either." Chen Ye was about to retort when Lu Ming in front of him made a move.
The head in his hand was crushed instantly, and before Chen Ye could even react from the bursting blood, he was already right in front of him!
Such a fast speed
Chen Ye's mind was completely focused on this thought; his body was utterly unable to react in the slightest.
Before Transcendent, no warlock could defeat a martial artist of the same level at close range!
This was a consensus among everyone, so the world belonged to warriors. However, after Dragon Transformation, Chen Ye originally believed that the era of warriors had come to an end.
The Dragon Transformation sorcerer possesses stronger perception and reaction abilities than martial artists of the same level, along with an indestructible body. Combined with the sorcerer's astonishing destructive power, he could not conceive of any weaknesses.
But only then did he realize that it wasn't that the threat of the martial artists had disappeared, but rather that the martial artists he had encountered before were simply not strong enough.
In an instant, a giant hand came rushing towards him. Chen Ye tried desperately to move and activate a spell to counterattack, but he knew it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the hand reached for his face. The despair of knowing that he could never fight back was truly suffocating.
Is that all?
One's own life.
Just as Su Changqing was about to suffer the same fate, his body was suddenly pulled backward.
This pull did not give him any hope. The person behind him was not moving fast. No matter how powerful Chen Ying was, she was still a sorcerer. At such close range, encountering something like this, he did not think the three of them would be any different.
But then he suddenly thought of something.
Chen Ying saved Nie Youyun
How did she manage to save herself?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly came to his senses and looked ahead with great surprise and doubt.
That hand that had once filled him with despair—had it been lingering in front of him for far too long?
Several breaths have passed already?
Why haven't I scratched my own face yet?
I didn't move that far, did I?
Puzzled, Chen Yun turned to look at Chen Ying, who was pulling him. She was thin and frail, and even with her magic and the wind, she couldn't pull him fast enough. Why was that?
He turned around again, and those hands were still in front of him. The blank eyes opposite him were completely expressionless, as if they were frozen in place.
Not frozen in place!!
Upon closer observation, Chen Ye realized that the other person was still moving, but when their hand was within fingertips of his, it seemed to slow down. It slowed down a lot!
This scene looks familiar. Right, when Chen Ying approached me just now, the flames I used to attack seemed to do the same thing. It was as if I couldn't get close to her, but actually, it wasn't that I couldn't get close, but rather that my speed slowed down after I got close.
What kind of technique is this?
Amidst their confusion, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, and in the next instant, Lu Ming vanished from sight, leaving the three of them in another thick fog.
"This is... a spatial technique?" Chen Ye swallowed hard and asked.
Chen Ying ignored the other person and looked around, seemingly calculating something.
"Seventy-nine."
"What are you calculating?" Chen Ye asked, puzzled.
"Calculate their speed"
"Them?"
Chen Ye was taken aback, then realized that Chen Ying meant to calculate the speed of those Flying Jiangshi?
She's a sorcerer, how could she possibly calculate someone's speed?
How do you calculate it? And even if you do calculate it, what then?
Chen Ye frowned as he looked at the other party. If those Flying Jiangshi were all of Lu Ming's strength and speed, so what if you predicted it? Could you even react in time?
Furthermore, Chen Ying possesses the ability to slow down her opponent, so why doesn't she use a spell to counterattack?
He had many questions he wanted to ask, but there was clearly no time for them now.
Countless dark figures suddenly appeared in the mist, all heading in this direction, while Nie Youyun, who was being pulled along by Chen Ying, looked at Chen Ying excitedly.
This woman is a hunter!
His mother had told him that there was no real difference between humans and demons, only between hunters and prey. This distinction could be made at any time. The reason why many people's first reaction was that demons eat people was because most people were weak, so weak that they could only become food. Therefore, they were the prey and only felt fear towards demons.
But powerful people are different. Powerful people know that many things about demons are beneficial to cultivation, and they will even take the initiative to fight demons.
When humans are powerful, demons become their prey.
So if you want to become stronger, you must always have the heart of a hunter!
When he first encountered the Flying Jiangshi attack, he knew he was the prey. But the woman in front of Nie Youyun, who could still maintain that look in her eyes after seeing the abilities of those Flying Jiangshi, knew that she was the hunter!
"Number 9, 0.7 seconds per second; Number 7, 0.6 seconds per second; Lu Ming, 0.3 seconds per second!"
"What are you waiting for?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask.
He had never been so on edge before. Those zombies, their speed, and such a huge horde—if they all pounced on him, he felt that even ten of him would be killed instantly!
At this moment, all he wanted was for Chen Ying to use spatial magic to escape from this trial ground as soon as possible.
He had no desire to prove himself anymore. He still had a long life ahead of him; Dragon Transformation sorcerers could conservatively live for tens of thousands of years, which was the dream of every sorcerer. He didn't want to end up like Su Changqing, a meaningless lump of rotten flesh.
"Nine!"
Suddenly, Chen Ying looked to the southwest. Chen Ye and Nie Youyun looked over instinctively. Sometime during the day, a monster had rushed up to them in the southwest, its face ferocious and its fangs bared like a wild beast. It was only an inch away from biting Chen Ying's neck!
Both of them felt a sudden jolt in their hearts; they hadn't even realized when the other person had arrived.
Strangely, this time the ferocious Flying Jiangshi was truly frozen in place, its entire body, which had lunged forward, was suspended in mid-air.
What's going on?
Before they could react, Chen Ying pulled them, and then everything went blurry; they had clearly arrived in another place.
But this time, they didn't go far!
The two were horrified to see that they had landed right in the middle of a swarm of Flying Jiangshi!
The feeling of being instantly targeted by four Flying Jiangshi sent chills down their spines and made their entire bodies tense up!
How was this transmitted?
Chen Ye was practically ready to unleash a torrent of curses. Did this woman have absolutely no sense of direction? Didn't she know to run out of the city?
Is it possible that this spatial magic can only move such a short distance?
Damn this brainless woman! If that's the case, she should teleport backward to get out of the fog first, then judge the distance to those Flying Jiangshi, use spatial magic to dodge them, and find an escape route. Do I really need to teach her this kind of experience?
Sure enough, this was a woman who had a lucky encounter; at the crucial moment, despite having such a useful technique, she achieved the worst possible result!
If I were to use this technique myself...
Nie Youyun, however, immediately calmed down because he saw Chen Ying's eyes.
It was still the look a hunter should have, but this time, the other person's eyes held a hint of excitement—the look a hunter should have when they've caught their prey.
She deliberately approached those Flying Jiangshi!
