446 Fleeing

At that moment, they were several thousands of feet in the sky. However, their speed could not be compared to Leon. 

While they had the protective bubble generated by their treasured pendant, Leon had removed the Divine Will Barrier shielding his body from the gravitational force of the sky, allowing himself to plunge at great speed.

Nevertheless, Leon did not increase the distance between him and the two foreign Transcendents and even shortened it steadily, giving them the faint illusion that they were faster than him. 

Shortly after, Young Master Judas and Elder Gustavo drew close enough, they began conjuring numerous Blackwater Lances.

In a short instance, their combined lances numbered thirty before they were shot at Leon.

"Die!!!" 

Young Master Judas roared with red eyes due to the strain on his mind from controlling fifteen Blackwater Lances. 

Elder Gustavo was stronger than Young Master Judas and was slightly better off, but it was clear that they were going all out to kill Leon. 

The Blackwater Lances zoomed through the skies, closing quickly on Leon's back. However, Leon did not clash with the Blackwater Lances. 

He simply evaded every one of them before suddenly halting his retreat, turning around to closed the distance on Young Master Judas.

"Be careful, young master!" Elder Gustavo warned. The change happened abruptly, causing him to fail to react in time. 

Young Master Judas' expression immediately fell while his pupils shrank. In his field of vision, Leon's bone spear headed straight for his head.

His Blackwater Armor immediately shifted their defense and concentrated towards his head. Simultaneously, Judas drew a sword from his ring hand and counteracted it with a slash at Leon's neck.

The Tier 4 Bone Spear suddenly ignited in flames and clashed with the blackwater, causing another miniature explosion of water vapor. 

Young Master Judas' head tilted from the impact and narrowly evaded the deadly bone spear as it grazed his forehead. 

Leon immediately narrowed his eyes, discovering two thin layers of flesh from the slight graze of his spear; one real and one fake layer of flesh.

This person was hiding his real face!

At the same time, he blocked Young Master Judas' pitifully weak sword strike with his bare hands. Young Master Judas' eyes bulged in shock immediately.

How robust must this person's flesh be to withstand the sharp blade of his sword?! 

"What!!!" He exclaimed.

"Young Master!" 

At the same time, Elder Gustavo roared while shooting over, hacking at Leon's back with his sword infused in high-pressured blackwater, which vibrated at extremely high-speed like some razor blade.

Elder Gustavo's arms broke from the clash. 

His body was swept away by the force of Leon's bone spear while he, himself, borrowed the momentum to weave around to Young Master Judas' back before extending his hand out. 

Leon wanted to peel off the person's fake face and see his true appearance; however, he suppressed his urge and curiosity. 

His hand immediately snatched the treasured pendant and ripped it away from Young Master Judas' neck. 

"Is this the secret to flying freely in the sky suppression zone? Quite an interesting tool! Let us see how you fare without it!" Leon said.

He immediately giving Young Master Judas' back a strong kick shortly after. 

Ding!

He felt like he had kicked a thick iron plate.

Even so, he still felt and heard something crack from the person!

Boom!

Young Master Judas wailed as he was shot, plunging down towards the surface with incredible velocity!

"Young Master!" Elder Gustavo roared. 

Elder Gustavo came flying back, shooting straight after the falling young master. Even so, his movement was inferior to Young Master Judas' plunging speed!

"Break your fall, Young Master!" Elder Gustavo roared in warning, knowing he would not be able to catch up to his young master.

"Uarghhh!" 

Young Master Judas roared with gritted teeth, forcing his bloodshot eyes to open against the wind resistance blasting his face. 

At the same time, he endured the pain of his broken back and tried to break his fall. Even if he was fully equipped in runic armor, he would still plunge to his death if he fails to slow down his fall!

Kacha! Kacha!

"Arghhh!!!"

Young Master Judas wailed painfully.

His weak limbs immediately broke from going against the strong momentum propelling him downwards! Even so, he gritted his teeth hard and continued to slow down his fall!

The momentum reduced, but he was still dropping too quickly! Knowing he could not break his fall completely, he braced himself for impact!

All the remaining blackwater in his gourd was poured out, forming a vast bubbly body of water before him to act as a cushion!

Boom!

Young Master Judas slammed through the bubbly body of blackwater and into the ground, causing a slight tremor in the earth. 

All the bones in his body shattered, damaging his organs, and causing him to cough out a puddle of blood.

"Young Master!" 

Elder Gustavo's roar could still be heard in the sky while quickly drawing closer. Shortly after landing beside Young Master Judas, he took out a medicinal pill and popped it into the young master's mouth. 

"Let us quickly leave, young master! This person is too powerful and devious! He actually lured us into thinking his energy is expended to lower our guard!" Elder Gustavo said, shortly picking up the young master to flee with his unbroken arm.

Young Master Judas' face was pale. He did not utter a word nor nod his head, but the emotions in his eyes showed that he agreed with Elder Gustavo's suggestion.

Back in the sky, Leon narrowed his eyes. 

'These medicinal pills must at least be around Tier 4 or above! How could they get their hands on such high-quality spirit medicinal pills?' Leon pondered.

Nevertheless, he did not think too deeply while the enemy was trying to get away. 

Leon stored the pendant away before shooting straight down at his enemies! He knew better than to let his enemies live!

Swoosh!

Leon tore through the air, closing in quickly on the two foreign Transcendents from the sky.

At the same time, the two Transcendents had been in the middle of the military city when they landed. Their appearance immediately caused confusion amongst the busy soldiers. 

Only Supreme Elder Haldir had been aware of the two Transcendents' presence when they arrived and fought in the sky.

Even so, he did not try to intervene in their battle. 

Not only could he not fly, but he also did not know who the two Transcendents were, nor who they were fighting. They had been too distant for him to confirm their identities.

In the end, they arrived in closer proximity, but Supreme Elder Haldir still could not guess who they were after seeing their faces. He had not seen them before.

Since they did not come to help, it would be better that they leave without causing trouble. 

Meanwhile, Elder Gustavo sensed Leon's quickly approaching figure and shouted, "Young friend, isn't it better to leave a way out for everyone?! Do not push us too far!"

At the same time, Elder Gustavo increased his speed and dragged Young Master Judas along with him. 

The medicinal pill was very effective!

Moments ago, Young Master Judas was on the brink of death! However, it only took a few breathes to mend his broken body and return a lively flush to his face!

Even so, he no longer had the will to continue fighting, regardless of whether he still had secret moves he had yet to use. It was not worth it!

Young Master Judas blamed his impulsiveness. 

Who knew that someone below the Transcendent Realm would be so difficult to kill when there were two of them? They should have escaped when they had the chance!

Seeing that Leon did not respond to them, Elder Gustavo's gloomy mood plummeted further. In any case, he had to make sure his young master escape safely!

It was his duty as a servant of the Cortez household!

"Young Master Judas, please leave first! I will hold this person back!" Elder Gustavo said after seeing the young master had quickly recovered from his previously grievous injuries.

"Alright! Give me the pendant."

After Young Master Judas received the pendant, he immediately shot off into the distance without another word. 

Elder Gustavo felt aggrieved that the person did not even spare him a glance despite the chance that he might not make it out alive. 

"Where do you think you're going?!" Leon barked.

He zoomed in on the fleeing young master and ignored Elder Gustavo. However, Elder Gustavo immediately kicked the ground and shot up to intercept Leon!

"Piss off!" 

Leon roared, sending a forceful kick at Elder Gustavo, who hurriedly reused the swirling water technique to disperse the force of his kick.

Even so, Leon's feet still planted on Elder Gustavo's chest with some residual force and sent the person slamming into the ground.

Seeing Young Master Judas getting further away, Leon entered a throwing stance. He gripped his bone spear tightly with bulging muscles before tossing it with great power.

The bone spear immediately zipped through the air.

"Careful, Young Master Judas!" Elder Gustavo warned strongly before coughing profusely. 

Young Master Judas quickly turned with a look of horror. Having exhausted his blackwater reserves, he could only rely on his Transcendental Water Element.

Despite Judas's best effort to defend in a split second, the bone spear pierced his runic chest armor and nipped his heart's artery, causing his face to be pale quickly. 

Nevertheless, he did not stop and continued to flee.
