Chapter 356 – Heaven Path’s Stone Stele
Suddenly sucking in a cool breath of air, Lei Yu then looked down and noticed his left arm was missing a piece of meat!
“Watch out, it’s coming again!” Alerted the Devil King.
Lei Yu swallowed hard before he made a thought, stopping the spinning Sky Devouring Sword. He then released his spiritual perception in order to sense where this ridiculously fast Sky Devouring Rat was.
“Found it!” The Sky Devouring Rat was coming at him in a straight line. Lei Yu immediately dodged and the black blur flew by like a bullet.
“Its speed is too shocking! How the hell am I supposed to fight it? I can’t even catch up to it!” Lei Yu had lost his cool.
“Quick! Lock into its position so it can’t attack you. Then look for a chance to quickly hide and withdraw your aura!” The Devil King’s words seemed panicked.
With Lei Yu’s current strength, normally he would be able to handle someone at the late Boundary Transition stage. But this Sky Devouring Rat was an existence that even if the bull-head was here, it would cause him a huge headache. That’s why there’s nothing they can do but follow their original plan of hiding.
Lei Yu nodded and didn’t dare to be careless. This Sky Devouring Rat’s biting power was really too shocking. Lei Yu was only lost in thought for a moment previously and he was already missing a piece of his arm. If he wasn’t completely focused, most likely this throat would have been torn off already.
After once again dodging sideways to escape an attack, Lei Yu then suddenly descended onto the ground. At the same time, he was also withdrawing his aura. The single rush by the Sky Devouring Rat had caused it to appear a few kilometers away before stopping. It didn’t have a powerful spiritual perception like Lei Yu’s, so just as it turned around to rush forth for another attack, its target had disappeared without a trace!
The Sky Devouring Rat flew around the air in different directions leaving blurs that crisscrossed each other. This showed how terrifying its speed had reached!
Lei Yu was greatly shocked. “This guy’s speed is way too terrifying! There’s no way I can accurately predict its attack path!”
“Don’t get so anxious and just keep walking straight. Do you see that mountain over there? At the base of that mountain is a stone stele, and below that stone stele is where my true body lies. Once you get there, just release my remnant soul and everything will be concluded!” Said the Devil King.
Lei Yu followed the directions of the Devil King and looked over, finally noticing the mountain. Perhaps he was still too far away because he didn’t see any stone steles at the base of it.
As he started running, Lei Yu would occasionally look up into the air. The Sky Devouring Rat was flying all over the place before stopping at one position. Only when it stopped did Lei Yu finally get to see its appearance.
Where was the Sky Devouring Rat’s awesome aura? This thing’s appearance was not qualified to have such a fear inducing name. It looked no different than an ordinary mouse except that its two front teeth (incisors) on its upper jaw were pointed instead of being flat. So apart from its teeth, there was no difference to your common mice.
The terrain of this place wasn’t elevated and was surrounded by a lot of trees. Even though there weren’t any leaves for cover, the dense branches crossing each other also created the same effect. Actually being here made Lei Yu understand why the Devil King had picked him to find his true body. The ultimate goal was that he was capable of hiding his aura to avoid the Sky Devouring Rat’s bite. It looks like the Lei Sect’s cultivation methods had its own ingenious uses and wasn’t any less impressive than the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique.
To hide and avoid was one thing, but rodents were born with a sense of smell that were more sensitive than other animals. Since they usually lived in dark and dirty places, and their visions were poor, they would have starved to death early on if they didn’t have a keen sense of smell.
Lei Yu was able to hide his aura which stopped his energy fluctuation from spreading, but there’s no way he could hide the scent of his body. This was the key point to his demise!
One could see the Sky Devouring Rat twitch its nose and started shaking its whiskers. It was able to very quickly detect the approximate location of Lei Yu and rush down. Its movement speed was so quick that it was no different from teleporting!
Lei Yu was shocked and frantically raised his speeds. And it was because of this that he revealed himself.
