BXBX NOVEL Chapter 169 - 169 Attack From Both Sides
At first, the statues moved very little, but soon, their movements became larger and larger, and their joints became more and more agile, as if the soul was quickly adapting to the body.
Before Lin Ran could react, Liu Hongshan suddenly slashed out a sword energy.
Accompanied by the buzzing in the air, a sword energy nearly 100 feet long swept out and instantly crossed a hundred steps. With a bang, it cut the entire palace in half!
“Let’s go!”
!!
After destroying the palace, Liu Hongshan shouted anxiously, “This can only delay them for the time being. We have to leave this place immediately!”
With that, Liu Hongshan jumped up and rode the Dragon Roar Dagger, turning into a phantom that rushed towards the pitch-black crack in the dark sky!
Lin Ran was caught off guard by this sudden change. When he heard Liu Hongshan’s urge, he subconsciously wanted to activate his internal energy to ride his sword and leave, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The danger here was not just the strange statues in the palace!
Just as Lin Ran was thinking this, a white figure suddenly flashed across the distant sky. At first, it seemed to be hundreds of miles away, but in the next second, it appeared in front of Liu Hongshan.
Lin Ran hurriedly looked up and saw a dazzling spark explode in the dark sky. A figure fell to the ground like a meteor.
Clang—
The sound of metal colliding was deafening like a thunderstorm.
At that time, Lin Ran felt a sharp pain in his ears, but he endured it and did not activate his internal energy.
Liu Hongshan crashed into the ground, creating a huge pit. Before the dust could rise, the white figure in the sky came down, smashing into the pit.
Boom!
With an increasingly loud bang, the ground around the deep pit exploded!
Lin Ran was hundreds of steps away from the deep pit, but he still felt the ground under his feet shake. Then, a hurricane swept towards him with countless gravel and sand!
Not only that, but there was movement from the collapsed palace behind him, as if something was trying to come out from the ruins.
Lin Ran’s expression changed drastically. At the same time, he activated the Mystic Gate Sword Technique without hesitation and arrived hundreds of feet in the air in a flash.
From this angle, the scene on the ground was simply magnificent.
Firstly, where Liu Hongshan fell, after being struck by the white figure again, a huge pit more than a hundred feet in diameter was blasted open.
The flying gravel and dust were carried by the strong wind and spread out crazily in the form of a ring. Wherever the wind ring passed, the ground was flat as if it had been polished.
It was so fast and powerful that if Lin Ran hesitated for a few more seconds, he would probably have been swept into the wind ring. Even if he didn’t die, he would be severely injured!
However, this was not what shocked Lin Ran the most.
The wind ring blew past the collapsed palace, and a large number of broken bricks and tiles were swept into the sky. At the same time, there were countless mud-yellow figures. Although they were already shattered by the wind ring, they were still moving.
Lin Ran knew that those were the statues placed in the palace, but he didn’t have time to observe them carefully.
This was because less than two seconds after he arrived in the air, a white figure flashed out of the deep pit on the ground and arrived in front of him almost instantly!
The surface of the streamlined armor was covered in layers of knife marks and sword marks. The five fingers of his hands covered in armor were crossed in front of him, and he suddenly slashed out a sharp cross-shaped air slash!
Without thinking, Lin Ran instinctively activated the Mystic Gate Sword Technique and instantly appeared more than ten steps away.
However, even though he was fast enough, he was still much slower than the armored man. The outer side of his left leg was swept by the edge of the cross-shaped air slash, leaving a wound half an inch deep and more than two inches long.
Before the painful sensation could reach Lin Ran’s brain, the armored man chased after him again.
Lin Ran immediately activated the Mystic Gate Sword Technique to the limit. His figure kept appearing and disappearing. Because he was so fast, it was as if dozens of Lin Ran had appeared in the air at the same time!
However, even though Lin Ran had already increased his speed to the limit, he was still unable to shake off the armored man.
Every time Lin Ran appeared, the armored man would appear immediately. After a few times, Lin Ran still couldn’t get away. Instead, he was covered in multiple wounds.
Lin Ran realized that this was not a long-term solution, so while dodging, he began to move towards the deep pit where Liu Hongshan was lying.
It had been nearly ten seconds since Liu Hongshan fell to the ground, but Liu Hongshan had yet to appear.
Therefore, Lin Ran wanted to confirm if Liu Hongshan had already been killed by the armored man. If Liu Hongshan was dead, he would think of a way to leave. If not…
Lin Ran turned around and looked at the armored man behind him. If the two of them attacked together, he didn’t believe Liu Hongshan could withstand it!
While thinking, Lin Ran had already arrived at the edge of the pit. When he got close, he realized that this pit was deeper than he had imagined.
With the help of the dim light, he could only see sixty to seventy feet. Below was darkness, and even Lin Ran couldn’t see clearly.
As the armored man was closely behind, Lin Ran didn’t have time to use his divine sense to investigate. In a flash, he arrived opposite the pit. At the same time, he summoned Thunderball and slashed at the bottom of the pit!
The flickering white electric arcs lit up the bottom of the pit.
Lin Ran took a closer look and saw that the pit was about 150 feet deep, but Liu Hongshan was nowhere to be seen.
“Could it be that he was already reduced to ashes?”
Although Half-Saints had extremely strong bodies, it didn’t seem impossible for Liu Hongshan to be annihilated by the armored man when he smashed into the pit.
As he was thinking, Lin Ran’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He realized that there seemed to be a small hole on the wall beside the pit, but before he could see it clearly, the flickering lightning was suddenly extinguished.
WIth the armored man chasing after him, Lin Ran had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being. He activated the Mystic Gate Sword Technique and dodged into the distance a few times. After he pulled away, he was about to stop circulating his internal energy.
Since Liu Hongshan was already dead, what Lin Ran had to do next was to wait for the armored man to leave before rushing into the crack in the sky as quickly as possible.
At this moment, there was a loud bang.
Dust and smoke exploded on the originally flat ground. Liu Hongshan, who was covered in blood, stood proudly on the Dragon Roar Dagger. The powerful pressure of the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm descended!
