NOVPUBChapter 1084: Chapter 919 Escape!_2 Chapter 1084: Chapter 919 Escape!_2 In their presence, they were the weakest in terms of strength, especially since they discovered that their wounds were not healing as quickly as they had expected after being injured.
If, at this time, that human youth seized the opportunity to attack them by force, they might not be able to withstand it.
The likelihood of this was not small…
As the saying goes, injuring ten fingers is not as effective as breaking one. They were severely wounded, arguably the two most vulnerable Saint Kings present. It would have been strange if the human youth didn’t take the chance to eliminate them.
Thus, after exchanging a glance, the two made a swift decision to leave this universe.
No matter how great the fortunes in this universe might be, they no longer wanted them.
At this moment, they had come to believe the words of the human youth. It was very likely that Saint King Dongzhou had already been suppressed by the opponent, and none of them was a match for him in individual combat.
With this human youth present, whatever fortunes there were in this universe, they would not have a good chance of obtaining them.
Even if, by some turn of events, the issue with the human youth was resolved, among their group, their strength was the lowest, and not by a small margin. How much benefit could they gain then?
“Saint King Qingshang, we are seriously injured and are likely to be targeted by the opponent. To prevent this person from starting with us and causing you to be hindered, we will leave first, so as not to drag you down,” they declared before leaving.
Before their departure, the two mid-tier Saint Kings even said it out loud.
“Damn!” Color drained from Saint King Qingshang’s face, and he couldn’t help but curse aloud.
The two mid-tier Saint Kings were not lightly wounded and indeed could not play a significant role; just now, he had indeed worried that the human youth would force a move against these two.
But that was no reason for these two mid-tier Saint Kings to leave.
If they were to leave, they should have done so earlier.
Now, with the battle turning into a rout, their sudden departure was impacting everyone’s morale.
Perhaps… other Saint Kings might follow suit and leave…
“Saint King Qingshang, this human youth is indeed peculiar in strength, this universe is his home field. I believe we should leave first, gather some friends, and then deal with this human youth…” Sure enough, the next moment, an upper-tier Saint King spoke loud and clear.
Whoosh!
In the midst of their conversation, this upper-tier Saint King had already turned and was flying rapidly towards the edge of this universe.
“The situation is lost!”
“Brother Qingshang, Saint King Jinyu is right. This universe is the home field of this human youth. We should leave and regroup before dealing with this human youth…” A Saint King sighed softly and said aloud.
As he spoke, he too turned and left.
“Pfft—” Saint King Qingshang couldn’t help but spurt out another mouthful of fresh blood when he saw this scene.
His black spear had been broken by Lin Yun, causing some injuries to his body, and Lin Yun did not stop his assault after breaking the spear; a series of attacks caused his blood to surge chaotically. At this moment, he couldn’t hold back and spat out fresh blood again.
“Chi!” Lin Yun seized the opportunity, striking once more upon Saint King Qingshang’s body with his sword.
“Buzz~” The Blood Prison Sword slashed through Saint King Qingshang’s body, absorbing a large amount of refined blood. This was blood from a Peak Saint King, something that even in the Blood Emperor’s lifetime, it rarely absorbed. The sword immediately began to heal some of its injuries, its blade trembling excitedly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The aura around Lin Yun grew even stronger.
“This sword…” Saint King Qingshang looked at the Blood Prison Sword in Lin Yun’s hands and his face paled dramatically as he exclaimed in shock.
Previously, he had not been struck by the Blood Prison Sword and was therefore unaware of its abilities. At this moment, he had a vague sense of its extraordinary nature and began to feel uneasy.
He had a creeping suspicion that the outcome of their battle was deeply tied to this sword.
However, he didn’t have enough time to sense its specifics.
“Chi! Chi!” Just then, Lin Yun took advantage of Saint King Qingshang’s momentary distraction and struck him with two more successive slashes.
“Buzz! Buzz!” The Blood Prison Sword absorbed a great deal of refined blood once again, its vibration growing even more exuberant.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The aura of the Blood Prison Sword visibly intensified, and so naturally did Lin Yun’s aura.
At the same time, Qingshang Saint King’s aura also greatly diminished.
“Not good!”
“Qingshang Saint King can hardly hold on anymore…”
On the other side, witnessing this scene, the faces of the two Saint Kings who hadn’t left changed drastically, saying in unison.
The battle could no longer continue, given that four Saint Kings had already left.
Together with Qingshang Saint King, there were only three of them left now.
Now, with Qingshang Saint King also sustaining serious injuries and his aura significantly weakened, even if the three of them joined forces, they likely wouldn’t be a match for this human teenager.
Furthermore, this human teenager’s strength was indeed peculiar, and should the battle continue, who knew what unexpected developments might occur.
They should take advantage of Qingshang Saint King’s efforts in holding off the opponent and leave quickly.
“Qingshang Saint King, retreat!”
“We three are no longer a match for this human teenager, it’s better to leave this universe first. We’re taking our leave now, Qingshang Saint King you should leave quickly as well!”
The faces of the remaining two Saint Kings changed several times, and finally, they turned and flew swiftly towards the outskirts of this universe, leaving behind these words.
Thus, the only opponent left for Lin Yun was Qingshang Saint King.
“Pfft!”
Seeing this scene, Qingshang Saint King spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, looking ghastly.
He had taken the initiative to attack this human teenager to prevent the two middle-rank Saint Kings from being killed by him. However, it turned out that those two were the first to betray, severely undermining their morale.
He had stepped in to block the attacks of this human teenager with the intention of allowing the other Saint Kings to regroup and mount a concerted effort. Was this how they repaid him?
The pain from his wounds, coupled with the fury in his heart, made him unable to help but spit out more blood.
“Hum—”
Right at that moment, the Blood Prison Sword hummed again. Its blood-colored blade shone even brighter, instantly sweeping away the fresh blood spat out by Qingshang Saint King, as though the Blood Prison Sword would not even let this blood go to waste.
“This sword… can actually absorb the enemy’s power while also increasing its master’s strength?” While fighting, Qingshang Saint King looked towards Lin Yun, his expression shifting, and said in a deep voice.
Eventually, he figured out the ability of the sword.
This human teenager had not been hiding his strength previously. Instead, his strength was gradually increasing as they fought, with the sword absorbing their power and enhancing its wielder’s.
This ability was truly heaven-defying.
“Too bad, you’ve realized it a bit too late…” Lin Yun said indifferently.
From the battle with these high-rank Saint Kings, he indeed had gained a lot. His strength had increased by at least thirty percent. Conversely, his opponents had also suffered significant losses. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
If it had been from the start, before his strength had increased, and they had been set on leaving this place, he wouldn’t have been able to stop them.
However, now that his own strength had greatly increased and theirs had plummeted, escaping would not be so easy.
“Boom! Hiss!”
In the midst of talking, Lin Yun continuously flashed to the side of Qingshang Saint King, slashing at him with his sword repeatedly.
“Heh… so it is true… this universe does indeed contain tremendous opportunities. Just this sword alone represents a great fortune… Such a pity… how infuriating…” Qingshang Saint King said with a bitter laugh.
By the end, complex emotions flickered across his face.
It was unclear what he found regrettable or detestable. Perhaps there were many things, Lin Yun could not discern them clearly. But it wasn’t necessary for him to fully understand these emotions.
“I was careless this time, but don’t get too pleased with yourself. This universe is connected to the Netherworld, which is a great opportunity in itself. Coupled with this sword and other unknowns… it may attract many strong beings from great worlds… Then, we shall see how you cope…” After a moment, Qingshang Saint King took a deep breath and said softly.
“Boom!”
As his words fell, he launched a powerful attack at Lin Yun and turned to flee.
“Thinking of escaping now? Don’t you think it’s too late?” Lin Yun said, shaking his head slightly.
In the middle of speaking, Lin Yun took a step forward, and in the next instant, his body appeared in front of Qingshang Saint King.
“Boom!”
Simultaneously, he slashed at Qingshang Saint King with his sword, a mighty force propelling Qingshang towards the core of the universe.
