Chapter 250: Escape One

Roar!!!

The Stone Armor King seemed to sense the threat and stomped the ground with a roar.

The surrounding air vibrated with huge roars, creating ripples of transparent waves.

He bowed his head, leaning forward.

Suddenly bursting forth, his figure turned into a gray shadow as he sprinted forward, all the shields around his body lighting up with mysterious symbols.

His speed surged again in that instant.

He charged straight towards Li Chengyi.

The speed kept skyrocketing crazily!

One times the speed of sound!

Two times!

Three times!

Five times!!

The terrifying speed caused a terrifying high temperature, covering his entire body in red flames.

A pair of silver claws, as if ignited, trailed dazzling flames as they slashed towards Li Chengyi’s face.

Pu-chi!!

A golden flash flickered between them.

In an instant, the Stone Armor King’s entire body stiffened, going from rampant speed to complete stillness.

As if devoid of any momentum from the impact, he was frozen in midair.

His clawed hands were just inches away from Li Chengyi.

But it was that little distance that could no longer be extended.

Sss.

Li Chengyi slowly sheathed his sword.

The Golden Longsword was pulled out from the chest of the Stone Armor King.

Continuous draws of the blade extracted, bringing with them a swath of gray blood.

Boom!

Only now did the ground beneath Li Chengyi’s feet burst, shatter, and sink.

Among the rumbling noises, the ground centered around him sank half a meter, forming a perfect circle over ten meters in diameter.

This was caused by the immense force of the Stone Armor King’s explosive sprint.

"Since it’s immortal, I won’t be polite..."

Li Chengyi flicked his sword with one hand, a golden light flashed with a swish.

The Golden Sword slashed across the Stone Armor King’s neck and limbs, one by one.

One second later, the Stone Armor King’s head and limbs rolled onto the ground.

Its entire body fell among a pile of severed parts, the cut ends still gushing out a large amount of gray blood.

Not far away inside a shop, Qiong An covered her mouth and nose with her hand, her eyes wide open staring fixedly at Li Chengyi beneath whose sword the Stone Armor King lay.

She had seen many powerful individuals enter the Blind Spot, without their Feiyis, without their modified bodies, they could only exert part of their strength within the Blind Spot, and almost all were desperately chased by monsters to a pathetic state.

This kind of running helter-skelter within the Blind Spot, running for their lives, had become the norm for Blind Spot Individuals.

But never before.

Never had there been a time when a Blind Spot Individual faced a Blind Spot monster with such an overwhelming disparity...

Through the glass of the shop, Qiong An watched that body in the golden and magnificent Armor, the fear in her eyes gradually transforming.

If... if I could have had such power before...

"Let’s go!"

In a flash, Li Chengyi’s figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already by her and her father’s side. He released the Golden Sword, allowing it to dissipate into Gladiolus petals.

He then picked up one person in each hand and ran wildly towards the distance.

Li Chengyi’s sprint was completely different from that of others. With each step he took, his body could rise into the air like a flying bird, leaping a great distance.

The amplification of the Gladiolus Ultimate Form had given his Armor and body an extremely terrifying enhancement in sturdiness.

Even the horrific impact of the Stone Armor King moving at several times the speed of sound had not caused his Floral Dress to be damaged.

This level of sturdiness had far exceeded the limits of all other Floral Dresses, reaching an unimaginable extent.

This was akin to a supersonic unmanned fighter jet dropping from the sky and slamming into a person, with the person emerging completely unscathed.

But at this moment, Li Chengyi had no time to care about these; what he needed was to find the Invisible Door quickly and get rid of the Stone Armor King.

"How long will the Stone Armor King’s pursuit last?" Li Chengyi asked Qiong An as he ran wildly.

"At least half an hour! Its body can continuously reassemble, watch out behind!!" Qiong An suddenly yelled.

Without looking back, Li Chengyi’s body abruptly flashed to the left.

Boom!

A chunk of concrete wall the size of a car flew past where he was just standing.

He glanced back.

The previously dismembered Stone Armor King had already recovered completely, catching up once again.

It was so fast that Li Chengyi had run quite a distance and was still caught up.

"Troublesome thing..."

Li Chengyi pondered over all the methods at his disposal, but none could completely resolve the current trouble.

He continued to run forward while thinking of a strategy.

’Right, before in the smaller Blind Spot, killing a monster allowed me to leave the Blind Spot. This could be considered a form of destruction to the Blind Spot. If the degree of destruction reached the standard, I could leave ahead of time. Too much would completely restart the departure.

And in larger Blind Spots like Yunshan and here, the rules seem noticeably different...’

Thoughts stirred in Li Chengyi’s mind.

’Since my destruction of the Blind Spot leads to a forced exit, what if the Blind Spot monster destroys itself?’

With that thought, he sharply turned and dashed into a five-story office building on the right.

Boom!

The Stone Armor King followed closely behind, crashing hard into the office building.

The middle of the building smashed into a large cavity and cracked.

The shields around it lit up with symbols once more.

Roar!!

A ring of ash-gray ripples exploded furiously from his position, radiating outward.

In the thunderous noise, the office building was sliced into two pieces. The upper half slid down slowly and crashed to the ground.

The Stone Armor King roared, searching around for any trace of Li Chengyi.

Suddenly, he discovered a golden fire circle had quietly ignited around the remaining half of the office building’s roof where he stood.

Then, he exerted all his strength to stamp on the ground, trying to escape the range of the fire circle.

Obviously, the fire circle had left a deep impression on him previously.

But what was eerie was that his jumping speed seemed as slow as a snail’s, incomparably slower than before.

Puchi!

Another soft sound.

A Golden Sword pierced through the Stone Armor King’s chest from behind.

Right behind him, Li Chengyi’s eyes under the golden mask glinted with a dim scarlet light.

"Eternal life and immortality? How about this?"

The hand of the golden armor fiercely grabbed the back of the Stone Armor King’s head.

’Floriography: Fortress!’

Rumbling noises rapidly followed.

Centered around Li Chengyi and the Stone Armor King,

a semi-transparent, golden city wall, thirty meters long, nine meters high, and nine meters thick, emerged in the air around them.

Gladiolus Ultimate Form, First Floriography—Fortress!

Boom!!

The massive golden city wall instantly absorbed nearby concrete, rubble, and debris, solidifying into form and forcibly encasing the Stone Armor King at its center.

The heavy city wall crashed down heavily, making the remaining half of the office building collapse downward as if sliced by a knife.

The two men, along with the fortress wall, crashed onto the foundations of the first-floor office building.

A large cloud of dust and fragments of stone spread and dispersed into the air.

Li Chengyi’s figure flashed as he triggered Shadow Flash to break free, lifting both individuals and glanced at the fortress wall before quickly walking towards the outskirts of the city.

Qiong An was being carried in his hand, her eyes already showing clear signs of madness.

This power...!

So strong!!

So terrifying!!

Her mind frantically sought to find any other scene that could compare to what was unfolding before her eyes, but there was none!

Even the Feiyi Master and the complete high-frequency form couldn’t achieve this mythical level of creation out of nothing.

Moreover, this was within the Blind Spot! The Blind Spot Dark City where technological items were greatly suppressed!

This time, the Stone Armor King did not catch up, and Li Chengyi quickly walked out of the Dark City’s buildings with the two individuals, reaching the end of the road.

At the end was ash fog, obscuring visibility, preventing sight of the scenery beyond.

"How do we get out?" he looked down at Qiong An.

"The activation phrase is a series of sounds," Qiong An quickly replied. "The full phrase is: ’Asraduni!’"

"Asraduni?" Li Chengyi was startled.

This pronunciation...

"This was deciphered by Lien back then, he had a mastery of ancient languages, a genius linguist, a historian of ancient history. He found clues in the corners of the Dark City and then deduced this activation phrase," Qiong An swiftly explained.

"Lien... quite impressive... I’m not his match," Li Chengyi admitted solemnly, having to admit that using just intellect and knowledge, one could reach depths of the Blind Spot unseen to him.

Deserving of being the closest person to escape the Blind Spot in history, aside from the Lan Meng Mountain Master.

Thinking of this, he turned to look back at the vast, shadowy Dark City.

This city-sized Blind Spot still held many secrets. Now with the key in hand, should he leave for good?

Or should he continue to investigate clues?

If it were before encountering the Stone Armor King, he might have had the notion to continue the investigation, but now the difficulty posed by the Stone Armor King had surpassed his expectations.

Therefore, he must seriously consider whether to leave now.

Bang!!

Suddenly, a dull sound came from afar. The Floriography dissipated. The Stone Armor King had clearly broken through his shackles again and was rushing towards this place at high speed.

"Quick, run! The Stone Armor King is coming again!" Qiong An’s face changed, and she shouted urgently.

"Do you know the Blue Book?" Li Chengyi suddenly asked.

"The Blue Book? Lien had a Book of Record with him, if that’s what you’re referring to! The cover is blue. His teammate Harns was tasked with keeping it safe," Qiong An quickly caught on.

"Where’s Harns now? Is he still alive?" Li Chengyi’s heart chilled as he hastily asked.

"He’s a Sutanese, left with Lien. I don’t know more than that, but my family has influence in Sutan. I can help you search for him! Just take me out of here!" Qiong An said urgently.

"And him?" Li Chengyi raised an eyebrow, glancing toward the bald Lao En on the side.

Thud.

Qiong An pulled a broken spike from her chest and violently stabbed it into her father’s belly.

"Now it’s done." She pulled out the spike, threw it aside, and looked at Li Chengyi.

"You don’t need to mind. He’s always kept me as backup food for so many years. If it weren’t for some ability I have, I fear I would have been used as a tool for his release long ago."

"You’re quite remarkable..." Li Chengyi’s gaze flickered for a moment. He promptly grabbed the people, one hand holding the key.

"Asraduni!"

As he recited,

the ash fog in front of him swiftly parted, opening a pathway for passage.

Watching this route, Li Chengyi turned to glance at the Stone Armor King, now just a dot in the distance.

With a step, he rushed into the passage with Qiong An.

No matter if what Qiong An said was true or not, a person who had survived for so many years within the Blind Spot and knew Lien would definitely be of great assistance with subsequent investigations.

Dark City was full of monsters, now further enhanced. Staying on could be more loss than gain. It was time to leave.

The ash fog churned and surged in front of him.

Li Chengyi felt as if his whole body lost weight and floated lightly as if he was a cloud, flying forward.

With one hand holding a person, the other holding a sword, he spun continuously, his speed accelerating faster and faster as he moved forward.
