Chapter 1196 - 152: Distress Signal

In an instant, the space shattered, and the surrounding area seemed to twist continuously, folding over itself before cracking open. Under such a level of attack, Leoja’s body fractured like porcelain, and countless wounds appeared out of nowhere, spewing a torrent of blood.

Leoja emitted a pained howl, and then the Origin Energy roared, triggering a series of explosions that erupted instantly amidst the blasts. Amidst the sounds of explosion, two figures shot out rapidly.

Bai and Ye Nan...

Bai, deploying yet another unknown tactic, grabbed Ye Nan’s hand and fled at a quick pace, not looking back, leaving one final command beside the ears of Leoja and Purlang.

"Keep him entangled."

In such dangerous circumstances, sacrifices were inevitable, and both Leoja and Purlang, as Avengers, were the perfect pawns to discard.

Upon hearing the command, a sorrow showed in Leoja’s eyes, but his body involuntarily moved toward that pitch-black silhouette, until Purlang suddenly flashed and leaped atop Leoja’s head.

"Purlang, you..."

’Swoosh~~’

The sharp Sword Qi sliced through Leoja’s skull, like a hot knife cutting through butter, directly splitting Leoja’s head in two. As Leoja’s corpse plummeted from mid-air, Purlang raised his head, looking towards the black figure.

"Continue? Or..."

"No need to continue. The clown is waiting for them ahead. Let’s return to the entrance to set up traps instead. According to the Security Bureau’s reports, these are merely low-level mobs involved in this invasion, the real enemy has yet to arrive. I think we should leave a grand gift at the entrance."

Purlang lightly nodded upon hearing this: "Let’s do that."

Then, he raised his hands, and invisible threads spread out from Purlang’s hands, slowly winding around Leoja’s corpse. Like a precise surgery, these threads stitched Leoja’s body and head together, the threads increased and burrowed into Leoja’s body, in less than three minutes, Leoja had reopened his eyes.

He lightly moved his body twice, everything was the same as when he was alive. Seeing this scene, Purlang then spoke again.

"Still a good material, just a bit lacking in strength."

...

The chilling astral wind continually brushed past his ears, the sounds of battle behind were extremely fleeting, sensing this, Bai grit his teeth fiercely and took out another tool from the space ring.

As the Jade Pendant-like item was crushed by Bai, a space channel appeared in front of Bai from thin air, Bai grabbed Ye Nan decisively and dashed into the channel, everything before their eyes swiftly converted.

They found themselves in a deserted steel corridor.

In Bai’s perception, there was no danger around, which undoubtedly allowed Bai to breathe a sigh of relief, after doing these, Bai then shifted his gaze to Ye Nan.

Ye Nan now still had lifeless eyes, just resembling a pitiful puppet, Bai pondered briefly, then raised his hand and chopped with a hand knife at Ye Nan’s finger.

Blood spurted instantly, Ye Nan’s finger fell to the ground—the undying body had been broken, proving all of Ye Nan’s Avengers had been killed completely.

This caused Bai to sigh again.

Too weak in strength... Even though countless preparations were made, unfortunately, the power remained too weak...

Maybe waiting for Wen Yu up ahead would have been a better choice.

Bai began to question his decision, for a while, he still put these thoughts behind him, snapped his fingers at Ye Nan.

With a "snap" sound, Ye Nan’s eyes suddenly gained focus, he looked around his surroundings, and then glanced at Bai close by, his face abruptly turned livid.

"You damn betrayed me!"

A momentary surge of anger made Ye Nan lose his senses, he didn’t even care about the power disparity between them, baring his fangs and claws he lunged at Bai, but was just slapped down to the ground by Bai.

The pain on his face made Ye Nan understand a truth—that without the undying body, he really lacked the qualifications to shout before Bai.

After dealing with Ye Nan, Bai then flipped through the space ring, pulling out a scroll, as the scroll unfolded, an oddly shaped creature appeared before the two.

"Contract it."

A brief three words, yet containing some incontestable determination, and Ye Nan only hesitated for a moment before picking up the peculiar item—choosing to comply with Bai’s command.

Seeing Ye Nan obediently listening, Bai then took out a Jade Pendant from the space ring again, energy quickly poured into the Jade Pendant, but it only emitted a series of sizzling noises.

Still unable to connect with Wen Yu...

Just as Bai was disappointedly about to put away the Jade Pendant, a voice suddenly emerged from it.

"... Bai..."

The voice was indistinct, filled with noise, yet hearing this voice, Bai showed excitement.

"Wen Yu? Where are you?"

"8...7... crackle crackle..."

The signal was still poor, but this didn’t matter anymore, having connected with Wen Yu’s communication, Bai seemed to have grabbed the last straw for salvation, he quickly spoke.

"I’m at Demon Palace Basement Level 911, save me..."

Just as he finished speaking, the communication jade token completely lost its signal connection.

Bai smiled wryly, watching as Ye Nan behind him had contracted the creature, Bai then snapped his fingers again, with the sound, Ye Nan returned to that state of lifeless gaze.

The undying body still had great use for Bai, Ye Nan couldn’t just die here.

...

"Save... me..."

The voice from the communication jade token was somewhat distorted, Wen Yu found it hard to hear clearly. He hadn’t even heard Bai reveal his exact location.

But none of this mattered—after all wasn’t the direction always downward?

There’s an ambush below, as Wen Yu had long understood—after reading the dossiers, Wen Yu found that given the layout of the Demon Palace, it’s really not possible to go wherever you like.

The channels between levels were only a few, when people had sufficient manpower, the Demon Palace Security Bureau could effectively lock down all channels, not leaving a single corner neglected. Once they realized someone had intruded, the idea of quietly reaching the destination has completely become a joke.

Waiting by the rabbit may be a foolish method, but here it turned out to be surprisingly effective, it now seems Bai and others must have stumbled into a trap, causing the current situation.

Wen Yu contemplated briefly, then cast these thoughts aside—thinking too much was useless, Wen Yu and Bai were not the same, facing such a predicament, Wen Yu could break through by force, or worse, still manage to escape.

Life and death looked lightly upon, dissatisfaction leads to action, the mindset of Wen Yu now probably embodied this.

He once again compared his location, Demon Palace Basement Level 872, a desolate and uninhabited area.
