Chapter 154 The Oil is Nearly Gone and the Flame is About to Extinguish

The wolf tooth plunged into the void!

It arrived in the blink of an eye!

Su Yizhao's divine sense was tightly anchored to his flying sword!

The flying sword pierced into the void, its tip striking the wolf tooth instantly.

"Clang, clang!"

Two crisp sounds echoed through the desolate void!

Two wolf teeth fell out of the void!

The flying sword shook violently, its momentum slowing slightly, but in an instant, it vanished once more!

At this moment, Su Yizhao held Qin Hongyi with one arm, following closely behind the flying sword as he charged fiercely toward the werewolf!

As the wolf teeth fell, shock appeared in the werewolf's eyes.

Yet seeing the two charging right toward it, a wave of ecstasy washed over the beast!

"Awoooo~"

It stretched out its neck and let out a howl!

The werewolf's body twisted and morphed into a gray wolf standing ten zhang tall!

Su Yizhao's pupils constricted slightly!

At this moment, the pursuing demonic beasts in the surroundings had closed in, and wave after wave of attacks shot toward them from all directions!

Compared to the giant gray wolf, the two of them appeared infinitely tiny!

Su Yizhao gritted his teeth, and the profound energy in his dantian erupted fiercely once again!

The flying sword in the void spun with a resounding hum, accelerating instantly!

"Whoosh!"

Right before the werewolf's eyes, the void tore apart, and a three-foot flying sword thrust forward instantly.

It felt no terror!

Lowering its head, it blocked the path of the flying sword with its forehead.

Suddenly, a piece of bone manifested upon its forehead!

Su Yizhao was struck with immediate alarm!

A void treasure!

This gray wolf actually possessed two void treasures!

The flying sword was moving too fast; it was already too late to change targets!

Their figures were about to crash directly into the wolf's body!

All around, seven or eight attacks struck his back in an instant!

If a single strike failed to kill the gray wolf, his charging momentum would be halted by it!

And the subsequent attacks would strike his back in full force!

An inescapable death trap!

"Is it ending just like this?" A voice echoed from afar!

"A monstrous talent of the realm level? Hmph!"

"Sigh! Prepare to bathe Qinglong Prefecture in blood for revenge!"

Su Yizhao's right hand twitched in a rapid gesture!

He let out a soft cry: "Mystic Heaven Sword Art!"

"Hum!"

Right in front of the gray wolf's forehead, the flying sword, just a hair's breadth away, suddenly multiplied into ten thousand paths.

"Clang clang......!"

"Puff, puff......!"

In an instant!

Ten thousand flying swords pierced into the wolf's body!

Ten thousand streams of blood burst into the air!

The wolf's body was instantly shredded into dust!

Su Yizhao held Qin Hongyi tightly, plunging right into the spray of blood!

At that moment, the attacks from behind struck his body!

Su Yizhao's eyes were dyed a brilliant crimson, and at the critical moment, his body twisted slightly!

"Puff!"

He felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder as a fountain of fresh blood erupted.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......!"

Six or seven attacks brushed past him, tearing away strips of flesh and blood.

"Oh?"

Behind him came a surprised voice, but by then, he and Qin Hongyi had already vanished into the bloody mist!

The peak of the Nine Void Realm was actually unable to stop him for even a single breath!

As the bloody mist dissipated, eight figures arrived in a frantic rush!

Yet what remained before their eyes was merely a heap of rapidly falling minced flesh!

The group exchanged glances, each seeing expressions of utter grimness on the others' faces.

Nine peak Nine Void Realm experts joining forces in a encirclement, and yet they hadn't even managed to brush a hair of their targets!

Not only that, but one of their own had been killed on the spot!

Utter humiliation!

"Order the forest! The moment any trace is found, report immediately!"

With a flash of their figures, the group sped away in hot pursuit!

A hundred miles away! Su Yizhao finally let out a breath of relief!

Yet immediately afterward, tension gripped him again!

His profound energy was about to run dry!

While the Mystic Heaven Sword Art possessed terrifying might, the profound energy it demanded was equally astronomical!

His profound energy pool, at the peak of the Eight Void Realm, had been completely drained in just two uses!

Who on earth could endure this?

And especially under such perilous circumstances!

Daring not to fly through the air, he immediately plunged into the forest, speeding frantically through the dense canopy.

He released his divine sense, completely enveloping a radius of one hundred and fifty li.

The eight figures were tailing him relentlessly at the edge of his perception! Furthermore, they were showing signs of closing the distance!

Unable to afford any conservation of profound energy, Su Yizhao circulated the consummated Vaulting Art, and his speed instantly increased by a fraction!

"Impossible! How can flying through the air be slower than his running on foot?"

Watching the increasingly blurry figures within their divine sense, the eight demonic beasts speeding through the sky were filled with shock!

"It seems the Mystic Heaven Sect is truly sparing no cost to nurture him. To impart the Mystic Heaven Sword Art while he is still in the Eight Void Realm—that has never happened before!"

"What's even more shocking is that this young man has actually mastered it!"

"Not only has he mastered it, but he has already achieved seven or eight tenths of proficiency!"

From the far distance, voices echoed, filled entirely with astonishment!

How could Su Yizhao possibly know any of this?

At this moment, holding Qin Hongyi with one arm, he was fleeing for his life.

His right hand gripped a supreme-grade profound stone, frantically absorbing profound energy.

However, supply fell far short of demand!

Fortunately, within his divine sense, those eight figures had vanished at the edge of perception.

For the moment, he had escaped!

He wanted to let out a sigh of relief!

Suddenly!

A sharp scream rang out from behind!

"Screeech~"

A massive bird soared straight up from the trees!

Su Yizhao was instantly alarmed!

At the edge of his divine sense, those eight figures had appeared once more!

Damn it!

Was that giant bird sounding the alarm?

Ignoring everything else, he once again fled at full strength toward the depths of the forest!

"You cannot escape!"

The divine deer's voice rang out, causing Su Yizhao's fury to flare instantly. "Then we die together!"

The divine deer replied with absolute confidence: "Rest assured, you die, I live!"

Su Yizhao cursed inwardly!

Though he didn't know if it was true, he didn't dare to gamble!

"The entire forest is filled with demonic beasts. Where else could you possibly escape?"

The divine deer wasn't the least bit nervous!

Su Yizhao didn't reply, simply lowering his head and pressing onward!

"Roar!"

Yet another roar of a demonic beast echoed!

Su Yizhao's face was full of fury, but he was utterly helpless!

"Hiss!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~"

......

More and more demonic beasts howled behind him!

Su Yizhao wore a bitter expression!

Had his profound energy been abundant, he could have beheaded these low-level beasts in advance with a single sword stroke.

Right now, however, flight was his only option!

Suddenly, the divine deer offered words of encouragement: "Hang in there! Hold out for just one more day, and we'll reach the destination!"

How could Su Yizhao possibly believe that?

Reached the destination?

More like reaching the destination of his life!

Abruptly, he opened his mouth and tucked a profound stone right between his teeth.

No choice!

His profound energy pool was scraping bottom!

And within his divine sense, those eight figures were growing clearer by the moment!

Perhaps in less than a day, they would catch up!

As he fled deeper into the center, the entire forest churned into a frenzy.

Looking down from high above, various demonic beasts manifested one after another.

Their howling cries formed a straight line leading directly toward the heart of the forest.

"Which human has such immense daring to barge into the forest?"

"I heard it's a young man! The entire forest has issued a high-reward bounty for him!"

"Then I'll go kill him!"

"If you wish to die, go ahead. Even Tianxiao the Wolf couldn't block a single strike from him before being shredded to pieces!"

"Ahem~ Consider that I said nothing!"

......

"Where is he going?"

"Heading toward the center... Could he be aiming for the territory of the Phoenix clan?"

"Courting death!"

High in the sky, eight figures streaked past in a rush.

Su Yizhao's eyes were bloodshot, his spirit withered!

Within his divine sense, those eight figures behind him were merely a hundred miles away!

A whole day had passed, yet he simply could not hold on any longer!

The divine deer had spoken the truth after all!

A single day—that truly was the destination of life!

The only thing that baffled him was why those eight figures maintained such an unhurried pace, as if they were simply waiting for his lamp to run out of oil!

And his lamp was indeed about to run dry!

Within his storage ring, the profound stones were completely exhausted!

Within his profound energy pool, the profound energy had hit rock bottom!

Damn it!

He truly was terrible at managing resources!

Had he been a bit more frugal in the past and saved a few more profound stones, would he have ended up in this state today?

Suddenly!

He felt the delicate body of Qin Hongyi stir!

A surge of joy washed over him!

With profound stones, he could hold on for however many breaths remained!

"W-Where is this?"

Qin Hongyi's voice rang out just as Su Yizhao was about to respond.

Suddenly!

The divine deer spoke: "At the foot of the mountain ahead, tunnel straight into the ground!"
