Chapter 449: Three hundred Chapters: Run away

Boom—

White light capable of devouring everything burst forth in the darkness, quickly spreading along both sides of the underground passageway.

Atop that dazzling, sun-like expanding white border, a blood-red figure flickered desperately through the corridor with instant translocation.

With Chi Su’s strength unleashed from his barbaric patterns, Xu Yuan didn’t dare give him any time to react, not even an instant, for the brute could possibly escape the center of the Source Crystal’s energy release.

However, after initiating it, Xu Yuan realized he might have underestimated the might of this Source Crystal Bomb.

Previously, when Li Qingyan detonated it at a specified location, due to the distance and his cultivation level, he didn’t feel much, only sensing the underground palace shaking from the quake, after which the Origin Qi radiated out from the placed Source Crystal and then nothing more.

But this time, as he triggered the explosion with the Source Crystal himself,

Xu Yuan truly experienced what it’s like to have one’s soul chasing after their fleeing body.

Once the Source Crystal Bomb fully unleashed its power, as its halo expanded, a tremendous suction emerged at the edge, dragging people towards the raging center of energy, while the spatial tremors from the overflowing power made the Step Void Slash, this life-saving divine skill, somewhat uncontrollable.

Death...

The vast source of energy made even Xu Yuan’s ghostly body sense a touch of death.

If he were caught in it, he would die.

At least as a human, he would die.

Fortunately, the expansion only lasted for a few breaths,

Everything around seemed to have hit the pause button as the giant energy sphere suddenly halted upon reaching a critical point.

The next instant,

All light sources were swiftly sucked back into the center of the explosion and disappeared!

Time continued,

Boom!!!

A hurricane suddenly rose from the center, blowing debris and dust into long rushing torrents towards the end...

"..."

All returned to calm,

Cloud-Stepping Boots gently touched the ground, and Xu Yuan, with his blood-colored robe roaring in the involved wind, stood on the edge of the crater and let out a long sigh.

It seemed his verbal evasion technique wasn’t up to par yet, not like the Crown Prince from a past life’s comic who could sway a boss who’d been corrupted for half a lifetime to his side with just a few words.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

How strong-willed must the Barbarian King Chi Su be to have reached this position, where a few words from him might not make a difference.

His refusal didn’t surprise Xu Yuan.

Each attempt at verbal evasion was like a gamble of high stakes with little to gain.

And, as the saying goes, nine out of ten gamblers lose.

If he had won before, it was either by bamboozling an inexperienced ice block or because his father had given him the chips to play the house.

Now, up against a character like the Barbarian King with insufficient chips, success would be a surprise, while failure was the norm.

Nevertheless, this experience served as a valuable lesson for his upcoming plan to detonate a bomb in the Blood Nest.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

The might of a single box of Source Crystals was already so great; if he, as he had previously considered, foolishly hugged four boxes into the Blood Nest and set them off at once, Xu Yuan wasn’t sure if he would die, but it was very likely he wouldn’t be able to escape the engulfing range of the energy sphere.

Thinking this,

Xu Yuan casually cast his gaze toward the huge cavern that had once again been devoured by the energy of the Source Crystals, ready to scavenge.

There should be quite a few things on the Barbarian King’s body...

Hm?

Where was the Barbarian King’s corpse?

A chilling sense shot up from his heels to his brain, the deathly aura making his hair stand on end; Xu Yuan instantly overcharged the operation of his Blood Essence Meteoring Art within his body.

And the next moment,

In Xu Yuan’s vision, a bone spur giant fist the size of a face had already reached right before his face.

It was so sudden and fast that it was nearly impossible to see the other party’s speed.

Step Void Slash.

Boom!!

Fist and ground collided,

The stone surface within a radius of more than twenty yards caved under the force and was shattered and sent flying like tofu from the giant fist’s vigor!

Amid the flying debris, Xu Yuan’s figure reappeared, his back pressed against the top of the corridor, staring down at the towering demon below, aglow with a ghostly blue light, as his spirits plummeted.

He wasn’t dead.

Why was he still not dead?

Chi Su, who had one arm cut off by Li Qingyan and whose injuries had worsened in continuous battles, how could he have survived the blast from that box of Source Crystals?!

But obviously, the Barbarian King Chi Su had no intention of explaining to Xu Yuan.

The debris was still rolling in the air, and Xu Yuan noticed that the Black Death Mycelial Mat, which was being absorbed by him, was undergoing some kind of mutation.

Not good!

"Kang Long!"

Stones shattered, and a bone spur, as swift as lightning, stabbed out from the mycelial mat behind him!

The hum of Qingyu, Xu Yuan turned and tried to slash it apart.

Clang!

The sound of metal intertwining rang out,

The blade in Xu Yuan’s hand was blocked by the ink-black bone spur,

This bizarre ink-black bone spur was incredibly tough, and the splattered sword light of the ink sword could only leave a shallow mark on it.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan abandoned the idea of a head-on clash.

Step Void Slash.

With nothing to impede it, the ink-black bone spur instantly penetrated from the ceiling to the floor, going through the entire cavern!

Given the quality of the Blood Jade Lustrous Armor, it should’ve wrapped around that sharp spike.

Materializing dozens of feet away, Xu Yuan had not yet had time to clear up what exactly that bone spur was when the towering figure of the Barbarian King appeared right before him:

"Annoying as a cold fly!"

Chi Su stomped fiercely, the ground shattered, and his muscular thighs trajected a dark blue semi-arc in the air, as well as a leg whip that snapped down directly at Xu Yuan’s shoulder!

"Buzz—"

With a hum of the sword, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, and the sword blade radiating ink-colored blood light met the other’s whipping leg.

Blood Ink Jade·Heaven’s Edge....

Just as Xu Yuan was getting ready to clash directly, a breath of death suddenly enveloped him.

Without any hesitation, he forcibly stopped the flow of Origin Qi.

Step Void Slash.

The sound of the ground shattering behind him rang out, Xu Yuan landed, and through the smoke, those crimson pupils without any white in them saw the scene inside the smoke.

The Barbarian King’s previous attack was not merely that leg whip, countless ink-black bone spurs burst out from all directions of the corridor, numerous stone spurs intersecting and colliding violently.

At the center of those countless bone spurs was the exact spot where he had just been standing.

If he had chosen to clash directly just now, perhaps he could indeed have inflicted damage on the Barbarian King, even cutting off one of his thighs, but his body would have been instantly pierced by those bone spurs.

Of course, as a Specter, he would not die.

That is to say,

This Barbarian King... actually wanted to capture him alive for questioning using those bone spurs?

Thinking this,

Xu Yuan did not hesitate any longer, his massive blood-colored Origin Qi burst forth, and the Qingyan sword blade emitted a clear hum.

Step Void Slash.

Flee!

Though their exchange was brief, Xu Yuan already understood that he was not a match for Chi Su, who had unleashed the Barbarian Marks.

Without Luo Xiran’s ability to resonate with a Specter, he could not use the Dao Domain by himself at all now.

And unable to use the Dao Domain, let alone those bizarre bone spurs, even the ghostly speed of the Barbarian King was already so fast that he could barely react.

Xu Yuan once again felt the gap between himself and the top geniuses of this world.

If it were not for Qin Mo’s self-created Step Void Slash, he would have died three times over by now.

If it had been Xu Changge controlling his Specter body, perhaps the one fleeing now would be the Barbarian King Chi Su.

Amidst his thoughts,

Xu Yuan’s escape and the Barbarian King’s pursuit rapidly increased their distance to over a thousand feet.

Stones shattered, the Underground Palace roared, and large areas of the territory began to collapse.

He did not lead the Barbarian King to where Li Qingyan and the others were, the silent Underground Palace’s ant-nest-like terrain provided him with a complex network of escape routes.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Yuan’s body had already accumulated over a dozen incurable wounds.

But still, he did not look back as he fled.

However, with each step he took on the ground, the mycelial mat on the corridor surface quickly withered away, and all the vitality of the Black Death Mycelial Mat along his path was greedily absorbed by the Black Death Bacterial Armor he wore.

Moreover, Xu Yuan also figured out what those bone spurs were by relying on the mycelial mat that covered the walls of the corridor.

Dao Domain.

Unlike any Dao Domain Xu Yuan had seen, the Dao Domain unfolded by the Barbarian King Chi Su showed no signs whatsoever.

There wasn’t even any fluctuation of Origin Qi.

With Chi Su at the center, within a few hundred feet, the Dao Domain penetrated the caverns and corridors, where those ink-black, tough bone spurs could suddenly erupt anytime.

"BOOM!!!"

Once again narrowly dodging a punch, Xu Yuan gritted his teeth and cast a glance at Chi Su, whose face remained stern.

The other’s speed was still like lightning, but with the enhancement of the "purple equipment" Black Death Bacterial Armor, he could barely keep up.

Feeling slightly relieved in his heart, Xu Yuan once again disregarded the damage to his meridians and used "Step Void Slash" to widen the gap.

You call yourself the Barbarian King, huh? Just you wait.

If I can’t match talent, then I, Xu Changtian, will cheat and fight you with equipment and stacked attributes!
