Chapter 160: Chapter 141: Yu Mengdie Is Being Hunted Down? That’s... Ji Zhixing!

"BOOM!"

The next moment, the massive Flame Spirit Bird lunged at the Nightmare Barrier. With a vicious swipe of its sharp claws, it tore a gaping hole into the barrier she had materialized before continuing its strike right at her.

"Damn it!" Yu Mengdie’s expression shifted drastically. Left with no other choice, she hurriedly unleashed her spiritual telekinesis to block the colossal Flame Spirit Bird for a split second. Seizing this brief window, she hastily turned around and activated the Wind-Treading Ability inherent in her boots, fleeing swiftly into the distance.

She thought, "I can’t win!" At this moment, she finally realized that Xiao Mingyue had unexpectedly broken through to the third tier as well. Against their combined forces, she was completely outmatched! In fact, if she didn’t run, it wouldn’t be long before the two of them beat her all the way back to the Dead Wood Regeneration Forest.

As Yu Mengdie turned and fled, she felt the ultimate humiliation. She was a genius who had assimilated a Tier 5 Radiant Moon Grade Gene. Yet here she was, being chased down by two elite class students who had only assimilated Tier 3 Genes. But there was nothing she could do about it. Ji Zhixing and Xiao Mingyue countered her too perfectly. Her most proficient skill, spiritual attacks, was virtually invincible against anyone else, but against these two, it was completely useless.

"After her!" Seeing Yu Mengdie turn and flee, Ji Zhixing and Xiao Mingyue exchanged a glance before resuming their pursuit. Yu Mengdie had repeatedly attacked them, so now that they had the chance, they naturally intended to exact their revenge.

At the edge of a wasteland.

Several students from Yun City University watched the fierce battle ahead from a distance, clicking their tongues in amazement. The two combatants clashing ahead were none other than Cao Zhenxing and Gongye Zhou. Cao Zhenxing was enveloped in a layer of aquatic-blue shielding. The spear in his hands thrust out continuously, each strike carrying fierce water-attribute power. Gongye Zhou’s fists moved like the wind. The phantom horse wings on his back made his Body Technique erratic and elusive, leaving afterimages with every movement. The two were locked in a tight struggle, the deafening roars of their colliding powers ringing out incessantly.

"Cao Zhenxing is still incredibly strong, especially in defense. Without Yu Mengdie here, it’s highly unlikely that Gongye Zhou can take him down," a student from Yun City University remarked.

"Indeed." A person beside him nodded. "The defense of Cao Zhenxing’s Celestial River Profound Water Turtle Gene is genuinely formidable. Among the geniuses who have assimilated Tier 5 Radiant Moon Grade Genes, I’m afraid only our school’s Lu Xinghe could break his defense in a one-on-one fight."

"It’s a pity Yu Mengdie isn’t here," someone else said with a laugh. "Otherwise, Cao Zhenxing would probably be sent packing to the Dead Wood Regeneration Forest by their combined efforts once again."

"I heard that Cao Zhenxing was already beaten back to the Dead Wood Regeneration Forest by the two of them more than once earlier."

"Honestly, I think even without Gongye Zhou, given Yu Mengdie’s strength, Cao Zhenxing might not necessarily be her match."

"I disagree with that. But Yu Mengdie’s spiritual attacks are certainly bizarre. Even Lu Xinghe would suffer a considerable loss if he wasn’t careful."

As the group chatted and laughed, they considered it a feast for the eyes to witness such top-tier geniuses clashing while they were out searching for treasures.

"Huh? Someone’s coming over there." The others quickly turned their heads, following his gaze.

Out in the distant wilderness, three figures were speeding toward them. Leading the pack was a purple figure. Hot on the heels of that purple figure were two more shadows in relentless pursuit. One soared through the air with a pair of crimson-gold Flame Wings spread wide behind them, moving at an astonishing speed. The other possessed a massive physique, covering a vast distance with every single stride.

"What’s going on?"

"Is Yu Mengdie being hunted down?"

"Are those...?"
