Chapter 909: Chapter 733: Unreasonable!!! Invincible!! (Part 2)

He worked his stiff neck a little, making a soft "crack" sound.

The white exoskeleton covering his body was coated with a thick layer of frost, under which numerous intersecting cracks were visible, particularly pronounced on his arms.

He looked down at his arms, and with a sudden shake of his hands, the exoskeleton pieces covering them shattered with a "clatter," scattering all over the ground, revealing his pale, poreless arms beneath.

He stood still for a second, his cold gaze sweeping in the direction Raven and Li Bashan had left, rapidly contemplating whether to follow and see the situation.

Could he benefit from the clamoring struggle? Or at least fish in troubled waters?

Just as he hesitated—

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the dilapidated shanty area not far away. Flames shot into the sky mixed with thick smoke.

White Mask whipped his head around to look, stunned for a moment, then let out a cold sneer from under the mask:

"Ha... Another hidden force? It’s never-ending!"

He hesitated no more, his figure flickering into a white blur as he rushed towards the site of the explosion.

Compared to the Night Watcher, who was already being targeted by others, the new complication here perhaps warranted his intervention more.

Meanwhile, a kilometer away.

Raven pushed his speed to the limit, the wind howling past his ears, the pain inside him as if being cut by knives.

He dared not look back, only relying on his senses and sounds to gauge the situation behind him.

When he finally could not resist, risking a glance back in the gap between breaths, the sight before him plunged him into an icy abyss, his soul trembling.

A humanoid missile was relentlessly closing in on him, its movements seemingly clumsy yet shockingly fast.

The "boom boom" sound echoed like the drumming of a Death God, pounding in his heart.

He was utterly horrified, mixed with an inexplicable feeling of grievance and absurdity.

No, why?! Why chase me so relentlessly?!

Wasn’t there one left behind?

A White Mask not in full form was specifically left for you guys as "ice cream," can’t you see it?

That giant ice cream, isn’t it more appealing than me, this desperately fleeing "tough nut"?

Raven couldn’t understand what he’d done wrong.

After all, even elementary knowledge—when encountering a tiger in the forest, you don’t need to run faster than the tiger, just faster than the person beside you to survive.

But why was this tiger (or these two tigers), ignoring the slower (White Mask) beside it, yet relentlessly pursuing the faster runner—him?!

Could it be... that this widely spread saying was actually a deceit in the books?

The real answer wasn’t to outrun the person beside you, but, on the contrary, to stand still, and the tiger would chase the fastest one instead?!!

These two tigers were being utterly unreasonable!

Damnit ahhhhh——

.......

Raven pushed the power of the Nine Yin Scripture in his body to the extreme, further risking damaging his meridians and organs, maxing out his speed, his dusty figure frantically weaving through waist-deep overgrowth.

Wherever he passed, the grass beneath was sliced by the rushing airflow, falling and freezing on either side, leaving a winding path of frost.

However, no matter how he squeezed his potential, the dreadful "boom boom boom" behind him was not getting farther away; instead, it was like a doomsday drumbeat, each beat closer than the last.

Every thunderous landing of the giant feet seemed to stomp directly on his heart, shaking his blood and energy, almost making him cough up blood.

"I am running on foot, while he is ’flying’, how can I possibly escape?"

The face beneath Raven’s mask was already as pale as paper, cold sweat instantly freezing into fine ice crystals at the pores from his body’s chill.

He was shocked, his eyes rolling wildly, scanning the grass ahead and to the sides, searching for any terrain he could exploit.

A hollow big enough to hide in, dense shrubs to obscure vision, or even a boulder to temporarily evade the terrifying straight pursuit...

But as far as the eye could see, there was only the vast overgrowth, undulating in the nocturnal wind like a green ocean, swallowing all hope.

This place was too barren, not a single rock big enough, or a complex terrain that could offer effective cover.

Let alone any complex terrain or man-made structures to hide or navigate among.

The nearest large structure was the Second Prison’s high wall.

Raven was like a rabbit running on open ground, exposed under the tiger’s scrutiny from the back of the fox, with nowhere to hide.

He realized he made a mistake, heading deeper into the grassland only moved him further away from people.

He suddenly realized the best choice should have been to follow the road towards the city.

As long as he could break into the neon-lit, densely-populated steel jungle, just find a corner to remove his mask, blend into the crowd, his chances of escape would significantly increase.

"Turning now... is it still in time?"

Just as he thought this, reality cruelly shattered it.

"Boom——!!!"

A blast closer and louder than ever before exploded as if next to his ear.

Following immediately was a crisp and cheerful, yet chilling, giggling.

"Hurry, hurry! Senior Brother will catch up with just one more jump!"

The distance was less than a hundred meters!

He couldn’t hesitate any longer!

He bit his tongue fiercely, using the pain to forcibly dispel the chaotic thoughts and fear in his mind, the chilling power of the Nine Yin Scripture raged in his meridians with an unprecedented frenzy.

He maintained his forward escape speed at its limit, all while, without looking back, unleashing the chilling techniques he mastered over his life at the presence behind him.

"Mystic Ice Barrier!"

Raven screamed hoarsely, his voice distorted and hoarse from pain and exhaustion.

With a fierce backward swing of his hands, more than half of his Yin cold True Qi surged out.

The air temperature over a large area behind him plummeted to near freezing, countless tiny ice crystals flashing with a ghostly blue light instantly coalesced.

Not just one, but layer upon layer, seven or eight translucent ice walls over half a meter thick, surfaces as smooth as mirrors yet exuding extreme cold, rose like bastion fortresses.

The cold emanating from the ice walls made the surrounding air emit creaking sounds of freezing.

"Earth Surging Cold Spring!"

Raven abruptly changed his footing, each step sent a wisp of extremely concentrated and venomous Yin aura snaking underground, swiftly traversing along the earth’s veins.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff —!"

Sharp, spirally barbed ice spikes burst from the soil.

They weren’t growing randomly but intertwined to form a vast, deadly forest of ice thorns.

Each ice spike glowed with a ghostly blue poisonous light, containing soul-freezing coldness and formidable physical penetration power.

He simultaneously half-turned back, his eyes driven to pure white by the energy surge, obscuring any black.

Both palms shot forward, the air between his hands glowing with icy cold aura bright as liquid nitrogen, directing them at the approximate location of the approaching terrifying figure.

"Netherworld Attraction!"

This move wasn’t direct physical assault but an attempt to induce and freeze the opponent’s blood flow from afar with pure Yin energy. Even a momentary delay would be a precious escape chance.

These were his bottom-line techniques, usually never utilized without cause, each use would consume his vitality, yet now, to survive, he held nothing back, not even hesitating to deplete his Life Origin.

However, before sheer strength, all these seemed pale and futile.

Facing the heavily rising thick ice walls, Li Bashan didn’t even bother with a defensive move, maintaining the terrifying rhythm of his leaps and bounds like a human meteor directly crashing into them.
