Chapter 371 - Escaped? (2/2)
When Li Xingyun, Gu Bei, and the others heard Nie Li’s words, they rejoiced. Nie Li had accomplished their objective, so why should they keep fighting? They should just let Gu Heng go and cry in a corner all on his own. Anyways, they weren’t going to stay and play around with him any longer than they needed to!
“Everyone, retreat!” Gu Bei loudly yelled.
“Follow me and charge out!” Li Xingyun took the lead.
The experts of Heavenly Path League and Demon League all charged out of the seige.
Without its Deity Root, the Lightning Deity’s Lake began to rapidly collapse.
At the sight of this, how could Gu Heng possibly not understand what was going on? He nearly cried out from the emotional pain. This Lightning Deity’s Lake was his last remaining one! So what if he managed to wipe out Nie Li and his entire group? All three of his Deity’s Lakes were gone, not a single one was left!
That goddamn bastard, Nie Li!
If he wanted a new Deity’s Lake, then he’d have to start a war with another faction! Furthermore, he wouldn’t be able to find anything better than Heiyun, Guyu, and Lightning Deity’s Lakes!
“I’ll slaughter you all!” Gu Heng roared in rage and led his men to attack on all sides.
Nie Li, Xiao Yu, Lu Piao, and their men followed Li Xingyun and Gu Bei. The battle was simply too intense. Within moments, everyone got separated from each other in the clash.
Gu Heng pointed at Nie Li and yelled, “Slaughter that kid and bring me his interspatial ring!”
Nie Li definitely must have taken something from the Lightning Deity’s Lake and placed it in his interspatial ring! Whatever it was, Gu Heng had to recover it!
A group of people surrounded Nie Li.
When Li Xingyun and Gu Bei saw this, they immediately led a few men to rescue him.
“Don’t worry about me! Just retreat!” Nie Li immediately yelled. After all, the Deity Root wasn’t in his interspatial ring; it was in his Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.
At most, he’d die here. But even if that happened, Gu Heng wouldn’t be able to take back the Deity Root! At the very most, Nie Li would just have to stay within the Skysoul Institute for a period of time!
A group of Heavenly Axis Realm experts surrounded Nie Li.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Explosions of energy landed on Nie Li’s barrier and left cracks on it.
Once the Grade 6 armour’s barrier was destroyed, Nie Li would definitely die. With his current strength, it wasn’t possible for him to confront against a Heavenly Axis Realm expert.
‘I have to put the Grade 6 Armour into the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting, before it’s destroyed.’ Nie Li thought inwardly. He definitely couldn’t allow the Grade 6 artifact armour to fall into Gu Heng’s hands and benefit him!
A group of enemy Heavenly Axis Realm experts pounced towards Nie Li. Just as Nie Li was about to stow away his Grade 6 artifacts, Xiao Yu grabbed his arm.
“Follow me!” Xiao Yu anxiously said as he activated the inscription patterns array on the ring on his forefinger.
A mysterious blanket of light rapidly enveloped Nie Li and Xiao Yu. The ripple of time-space rapidly spread out around them.
Nie Li was secretly alarmed; he never thought that Xiao Yu’s common-looking ring would actually be a Time-Space Artifact!
Gu Heng was startled by the sight and sense of that peculiar time-space ripple. He immediately barked, “Quick, stop them!”
A wave of dragon flames was aimed at Nie Li and Xiao Yu’s direction.
One of the tongue of flames hit Xiao Yu, who groaned. However, the ring managed to fully activate in time. With a flash of light, the two of them disappeared.
Nie Li and Xiao Yu had actually escaped!
At the sight of this, Gu Heng’s bloodshot eyes filled with an unparalleled viciousness and his lungs nearly burst. All three of his Deity’s Lake had been destroyed, but he’d actually allowed the culprit to escape?!
