Chapter 140 A Plan Comes to Mind
After rescuing the two people, Kuang Zheng's heart was pounding.
The extreme tension combined with the joy of his teammates being rescued made him unable to contain his excitement, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
But he knew that this was not the time to be happy. The closer he got to success, the less he could afford to slack off, otherwise he might turn his joy into sorrow!
Therefore, he dared not hesitate or pause for even a moment, and immediately pushed the spiritual power in his body to the limit, rushing towards the distant horizon at the fastest speed like a bolt of lightning!
From the current perspective, this risky rescue operation has been a great success.
Because he looked back several times but did not see any enemy.
However, despite temporarily escaping the enemy's pursuit, he remained on edge.
You must understand, they were facing the terrifying Candle Flame Beast.
Their ancestors were once incredibly powerful, and even now they possess the same formidable strength at the peak of the fourth level.
Despite his agility, Kuang Zheng still lags far behind the Zhuyan Beast in terms of strength.
Moreover, he was not alone at this moment; he had two companions whom he had just rescued under his arm.
The presence of his companions greatly slowed down his progress.
In such a critical moment when the enemy is strong and we are weak, any small burden can become a fatal threat, leading to catastrophic consequences.
Therefore, even though there was no trace of the enemy behind him, he still dared not relax in the slightest.
Just as Kuang Zheng was beginning to relax and prepare to catch his breath and adjust his state, an unprecedented and intense sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart.
Without even looking, those two Candle Flame Beasts must have caught up.
Driven by the immense crisis, he desperately increased his flight speed, and without the slightest hesitation, he threw three Spirit Nourishing Pills into his mouth.
With the help of the elixir, the consumed spiritual energy could be quickly replenished.
Just as Kuang Zheng was struggling to escape, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out beside him.
Without time to think, he grabbed the two unconscious men and leaped to the side.
"Rumble..."
Just as he shifted to the side, a burst of energy flew past him, almost grazing his body.
The immense force struck the earth, triggering a violent explosion.
Before he could even catch his breath, a sharp, crescent-shaped energy whistled through the air like a ghost, heading straight for him.
Upon seeing this, Kuang Zheng quickly used a ladder-cloud leap.
Like a spring up from dry land, his body suddenly shot upwards.
The fierce attack was dodged once again.
"boom......"
The black energy, carrying an overwhelming force, slammed into the rocks not far away.
In an instant, dust flew and stones flew everywhere. The rock, which was originally so hard, became as fragile as paper under the impact of this powerful force, and was easily torn open with a huge gash.
Kuang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. Recalling the terrifying scene just now, he was still shaken.
If it weren't for a quick reaction and decisive action at that critical moment, the incredibly sharp curved blade's energy would probably have already pierced his body.
However, before he could recover from the relief of escaping death, two sharp and piercing whistling sounds came from behind him.
He glanced back instinctively and saw two crescent-shaped beams of energy, gleaming with cold light, flying towards him like ghosts!
The black energy carried by that crescent-shaped energy was like a raging flame, crackling and popping as it tore through the sky, as if it were igniting the surrounding air.
The solid space became as fragile as paper in the face of this terrifying power, and was torn into a chaotic void in the blink of an eye.
Kuang Zheng knew that the enemy's offensive would not end so easily, so when he sensed the danger coming from behind, he almost instinctively dodged to the side, once again avoiding a fatal blow.
But before he could even steady himself, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from above.
Left with no other choice, Kuang Zheng had to exert all his strength, using the remaining force from his earlier dodge to rush away at high speed to a greater distance.
Just as he dodged the attack from above, a new wave of attacks came down like a storm.
And so, amidst this series of relentless attacks and dodges, the distance between the two sides grew ever closer.
As the distance between them gradually decreased, the enemy's attacks became increasingly fierce, sharp, and frequent.
For a time, Kuang Zheng was overwhelmed and exhausted, and was beaten into a sorry state.
As he continued to dodge and parry, his internal energy gradually became disordered, and his breathing became rapid.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks...
Fortunately, with the blessing of the Spirit Nourishing Pill, although he was currently exhausted, his spiritual energy was still sufficient to sustain him.
Seeing this, the two Candle Flame Beasts became even more frantic, increasing their attack power as if they were about to unleash all their strength.
For a moment, Kuang Zheng was forced to jump around, and an unexpected attack could knock him down at any time.
As time passed, the energy within the two Candle Flame Beasts rapidly decreased like water bursting its banks, but this did not stop their offensive.
Instead, they launched attacks more and more frequently, and a full quarter of an hour passed in this way.
At this moment, Kuang Zheng was already panting heavily, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes.
The pursuers behind them were also in bad shape. Even the mighty Candle Flame Beasts were panting heavily, clearly indicating that the fierce battle had taken a heavy toll on them.
Upon seeing this, Kuang Zheng's eyes lit up, and a plan immediately came to mind.
He deliberately slowed down, and when the Candle Flame Beast saw that its opponent had suddenly slowed down, it intensified its attack, trying to knock him down.
But at that moment, Kuang Zheng suddenly accelerated and immediately dodged the barrage of attacks.
After the attack subsided, he repeated his old tricks.
As the two Candle Flame Beasts continued their attacks, their internal energy was being rapidly depleted at a visible rate.
However, even in such a state of exhaustion, the two Candle Flame Beasts showed no sign of relaxing.
One of the Candle Flame Beasts, with a very conspicuous tuft of golden fur on its head, continued its fierce attack while mercilessly mocking, "Hmph! Noguchi Ridge boasts about you as if you're unparalleled in the heavens and on earth, saying you're incredibly powerful and have all sorts of supernatural abilities."
"But in my opinion, you're nothing but a coward who only knows how to run away with his tail between his legs! What a rare hero! Bah! I, Zhuwu, despise you!"
Its disdainful and contemptuous gaze was fixed on Kuang Zheng, as if it wanted to use this method to disrupt the other party's psychological defenses.
Kuang Zheng remained unconcerned about the humiliation and attacks from the Candle Flame Beast.
He used both hands and feet to nimbly dodge the opponent's repeated attacks, while retorting defiantly, "Haha... Isn't it always said that the Candle Flame Beast considers itself a hero and never bullies the weak? I never expected it to do something as despicable as a sneak attack today! It's truly an eye-opener!"
Upon hearing Kuang Zheng's words, the Zhuyan Beast named Zhuwu was instantly enraged and roared, "There has always been a saying that 'all's fair in war'! I did this simply to avoid giving the enemy any chance to retaliate!"
Having said that, it opened its blood-red maw again and pounced on Kuang Zheng once more...
Upon hearing this, Kuang Zheng burst into laughter in anger: "Hahaha... How hilarious! I never imagined there could be such a sharp-tongued beast!"
It seems you not only often engage in petty theft, but also have such eloquent and persuasive excuses!
That's utterly shameless! Ugh, I spit on that!
Upon hearing Kuang Zheng's words, Zhu Wu was instantly enraged and roared furiously, "You bastards! You've made me so angry! Today I'm going to tear you all apart alive!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Wu's attacks became even more ferocious and sharp, each move carrying the force of a thunderbolt as it slammed down on Kuang Zheng.
As the attack speed continued to increase, the energy within Zhuwu's body was also rapidly being consumed at an alarming rate, like a flood bursting its banks.
He was only slightly out of breath before, but now he was completely out of breath.
