Chapter 418: Perilous condition

As the Death Eater rushed towards the east of the city, the old and already half-destroyed buildings around it started to collapse one by one due to the tremors that its enormous body was causing, leaving only the sturdiest ones of them standing.

It was as if small earthquakes were taking place in the eastern part of the city, as the Death Eater's huge and thick legs flattened everything in its path.

At the same time, barely a minute had passed since the Death Eater had finished its 'fight' with the old woman, when the young man in red robes arrived at the scene.

However, a dejected expression soon appeared on his face the moment he laid his eyes on the scene in front of him.

Contrary to his expectations, the fight between Liu Mei and the old woman hadn't even lasted for even a few moments, giving him no time to catch up to the enormous beast.

It seemed that the gigantic black beast had taken care of the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert as soon as it caught up with her before it immediately left the scene!

The red-robed young man was unwilling to give up just yet and spread his soul sense as far as he could, but even after scanning every single building in the area half a mile around him, there was still nothing to be found.

An expression of anger and killing intent appeared on his face as he stared at the flattened buildings that led towards the eastern part of the city, but in the end he still chose to remain standing without moving from this place.

Although he wanted to chase after Liu Mei since he knew that her 'power-up' was only temporary, and she was bound to return back to her real cultivation at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul sooner or later, he also knew by now that the enormous black beast that she was riding on was probably not any slower than him despite its massive body.

At the same time, even if he managed to catch up to Liu Mei, the red-robed young man had no degree of assurance that he could even take the Holy sect's token from her in the first place.

''That monster's strength is definitely stronger than the average peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Especially when it is augmented by that weird qi, it is probably not much weaker than an average early rank 4 Nascent Soul stage expert.

No, perhaps it's already at that level! It's likely that only monsters like Jun Ren or those who ranked in the top 3 in their continents can probably take care of that black beast in this third test!

Sigh There is no reason to be too fixated on that particular token either.

As long as I am not too unlucky, I will definitely be able to obtain a token myself within the next 25 days.

Heh, let's see how far that woman can go with borrowed strength and if she will be able to successfully hide herself for the next 25 days.

I refuse to believe that she has another one of those pills and that it has no side effects either!''

As the red-robed young man arrived in this conjecture, he continued to stare at the east of the city and the destruction that the Death Eater had caused with a serious look on his face, before he actually flew towards the north.

...

Staring behind her, Liu Mei actually heaved out a sigh of relief when she saw that the red-robed young man wasn't chasing after the Death Eater.

Although she was certain that that person wasn't strong enough to match the Death Eater's power head-on, Liu Mei also knew that she only had a little more than 2 hours until the effects of the 'Blood Ignition pill' wore off and her cultivation returned back to the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul.

Thus, she had to find a safe place for herself as quickly as possible instead of fighting against the red-robed young man.

The land continued to quake as the Death Eater ran towards the east at full speed, passing through mountains and rivers in the process, before finally, an hour later, a lush forest appeared in the distance ahead of Liu Mei.

At first glance, this forest seemed to span for hundreds if not a thousand miles, and it was definitely the best place for anyone to hide themselves if they wanted to wait until the end of the third test.

Without any hesitation, Liu Mei had the Death Eater enter inside the forest, while at the same time she observed her surroundings, as she looked for a place to stay.

Half an hour quickly passed like this, and just as Liu Mei arrived in front of a small river, mocking voices filled with fury, lust, greed, and killing intent appeared in her ears all at the same time.

''Xie Xingyi you bitch, did you think that you could escape from us so easily? Against 4 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts, even you are completely incapable of escaping!''

''Hehehe, little beauty there is no reason to look at us like that! Give up the Holy sect's token and I will allow you to live a little longer.''

''Hahahaha! That's right. As long as you are willing to serve the 4 of us brothers tonight, we will indeed allow you to live a little longer!''

The moment that she heard these words, Liu Mei was stunned for a moment, as the face of a gorgeous young woman with pale blonde hair and beautiful emerald eyes appeared in her mind.

''Xie Xingyi?''

As the figure of the young woman in green robes that she and Shun Long had seen outside the Heaven's Dome city flashed through her mind, Liu Mei hesitated for a moment, before she finally ordered the Death Eater to go towards the origin of those voices.
