C75 Open Door (1/2)
Yama was startled. He had never walked across the holy road before and didn't know how to go along the holy road.
Wan Lixing did not say anything, and pulled Yama's hand, stepping onto the road.
Yama King didn't even have the time to react before the surrounding scenery changed. A road glowing with golden light appeared beneath his feet, straight into the distance, with an unknown end. Other than this road, the surroundings were completely dark, without a single star to be seen.
”This... Is this the holy road … ” He had previously imagined what the Holy Road would be like, but he didn't think that the Holy Road would be so simple. There really was only one path.
Wan Lixing nodded his head as his brows knitted together. His Heaven's Eyes must be continuously evolving, previously, he could only see where the path was, but now, he could see the amount of golden light on the road, it should be more and more difficult to walk on it. For example, on the road in front of him, the golden light was not many, so Wan Lixing reckoned that he would be able to escape if he ran fast enough, but he still had to try to walk on it.
”What we need to do is run, run as fast as we can …” Wan Lixing took a deep breath and started to warm up.
The Yama was startled, and asked: ”Is it because you can run out as fast as possible?”
Wan Lixing nodded his head, and said: ”That's right, as long as we run fast we can run out, and our speed cannot slow down. Once we slow down, it would be equivalent to wasting all our previous efforts, we don't have much chance …”
The Yama nodded and followed Wan Lixing in warming up. He already could not remember the last time he ran, he would usually teleport every now and then, and use the Spatial Compression Technique extremely frequently. But right now, his mana was sealed in this damned place, and he was no different from a normal person.
The two stretched their arms and legs, and finally made a start at the beginning of the Holy Road.
”I've never understood the principle of this action.” Yama King kept chattering like he was chattering.
The corner of Wan Lixing's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes. He decided not to continue fighting with this unreliable guy. 2... 1... ”Run!”
With that, Wan Lixing immediately jumped out, the Yama was slower by half a beat, but he still followed closely behind.
”You're trying to run away!” It's a violation of the rules! ” The Yama continued his teasing from behind.
”Damn it!” Hurry up! At least twice as fast as we are now! ” Wan Lixing shouted loudly. Light started to appear vaguely around him, but there was still a huge gap.
The moment Wan Lixing finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blow past his ear, and in the next moment, he saw that Yama had already ran in front of him.
”You mean that?” Yama slowly controlled his speed and came to Wan Lixing's side as he said this.
Wan Lixing watched all of this with his mouth agape. Yama's speed was just like lightning, if he ran a little more, he would probably run out of the Sacred Road!
”You … I thought you can't use magic! ” Wan Lixing asked puzzledly. With his speed just now, it was impossible for him to run away with just his legs. The only thing Wan Lixing could think of was spells.
The Yama disdainfully replied: ”That's because your level is not good enough. Mortals rely on their legs to run, but if the soul is running, it depends on the degree of concentration of the soul.”
Wan Lixing's eyes lit up. Ever since he had arrived in the Underworld, he had known that many things were related to the degree of condensation of the soul. It could be said that as long as the level of condensation of the soul was strong, then he would be able to do many things that only immortals could do.
”You'll know when you reach that level. I'm a Yama King after all, and my Soul Condensation can't be compared to ordinary people.” Yama King said smugly.
Wan Lixing curled his lips, and revealed a sinister smile, his speed becoming slightly slower, he directly arrived behind Yama.
”What are you doing?” Seeing that, the Yama was startled, and asked curiously.
”Hehehe.” Responding to Yama King was a burst of extremely cheap laughter. In the next moment, Yama felt something sink into his back. He turned around and actually saw Wan Lixing jumping directly onto his back!
”Damn it!” ”Brat, get down here!” Yama King's eyes were wide open, he did not dare believe that this little bastard would dare be so impudent. One must know that most people would not even be able to say words of fear if they saw him, and it was the same if they were brave enough.
”My ass!” Yama, you are already so unreliable! Don't think too much into it, release your hooves... Not running forward! ” Wan Lixing, on the other hand, didn't care as he hugged Yama tightly and laughed sinisterly.
The Yama snorted, then thought again, so that he could leave the place faster than him, all he wanted to do was to rely on Wan Lixing.
The next moment, a strong wind blew on the holy road, but not a single person could be seen.
In practically the blink of an eye, before Wan Lixing could even react, a blinding light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
When Wan Lixing's vision regained its clarity, he realized that he and Yama King had already left the Holy Road and were only standing on the edge of a cliff. If Yama King took another step forward, they would be able to sense the charm of gravity.
After taking in a deep breath, Wan Lixing suddenly felt that after passing through the Holy Road, he would be able to stand even higher, and see even further.
