Chapter 390

After Adam finished arranging the villagers, he returned and watched the battle from afar, breaking into a cold sweat for Liber.

At the same time, there was something he was even more worried about, a battle of this scale would inevitably attract the experts of the Heavenly Court, that would be the real trouble.

"Senior Book Saint, finish this quickly! If you can’t beat it, then retreat!"

Adam shouted loudly, they couldn’t waste time here.

Hearing Adam’s words, Liber frowned slightly, he knew Adam’s concern, but the pitch-black creature before him was too strong, ending the battle quickly would not be easy.

However, he also understood the worry, a battle like this could easily draw the Heavenly Court’s attention.

"I understand, but retreating won’t be easy either!"

Liber responded, his attacks becoming even more vicious as he tried to resolve things as fast as possible.

Adam stopped urging the Book Saint and immediately began preparing countermeasures in case people from the Heavenly Court arrived.

With one move, Liber severed the pitch-black creature’s arm, but the wound didn’t bleed, instead, it revealed fine, writhing tentacles, they intertwined with each other, and the arm completely regenerated.

Liber felt somewhat helpless, if they kept fighting like this, it would be endless, he had no choice but to retreat for now.

He glanced at the horizon and the sky, knowing they truly couldn’t drag this out any longer, he would just leave this trouble for the Heavenly Court to solve.

"Still!"

"Forbid!"

"Bind!"

Liber successively floated out three words, which landed on the pitch-black creature’s body, it was instantly immobilized.

Liber used this window to arrive in front of Adam.

"Retreat!"

Adam’s eyes lit up, he had wanted to retreat a long time ago.

The two shifted their figures, transforming into two streams of light, and rapidly sped off into the distance.

Although the pitch-black creature was confined, brutal light flickered in its eyes, and the evil aura on its body rampaged, it looked as if it could break free at any moment and continue pursuing them.

The two didn’t dare pause for even a moment, fleeing with all their might, however, their main fear was being caught by the people of the Heavenly Court.

"Senior Book Saint, running like this, will the Heavenly Court be able to track us down?" Adam couldn’t help but ask, with a commotion this big, the Heavenly Court definitely knew about it.

Liber furrowed his brows tightly, he didn’t have absolute certainty either.

"We can only try to get as far away as possible, if the Heavenly Court sets their mind to tracking us down, there’s nothing I can do!" Liber smiled faintly.

Adam was speechless. Senior really is too honest.

"Senior..."

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a terrifying aura appeared behind them, they looked back and found the pitch-black tentacled creature had broken free of the Book Saint’s spell and caught up.

Both of them frowned, the situation had just become much more troublesome.

"Damn it, are those guys really just going to ignore this?" the Book Saint couldn’t help but curse.

The two continued flying at top speed, constantly changing directions to shake off the creature’s pursuit, however, it seemed extremely sensitive to their auras, no matter how they changed direction, it could quickly pinpoint their location and pursue them relentlessly.

Adam and Liber’s expressions grew heavier, they knew continuing like this was not a solution.

"Senior Book Saint, we’ll be caught sooner or later at this rate, ee have to find a way to deal with it!" Adam gritted his teeth.

Liber nodded, he also knew running aimlessly wouldn’t work.

"I have a secret technique that can temporarily boost my strength, but the price is steep, it will likely leave me in a weakened state, after that, I might have to rely on you, Adam!" Liber said in a deep voice.

A flash of determination crossed Adam’s eyes as he smiled.

"Senior Book Saint, don’t worry, when it comes to hiding and running away, I’m a professional!"

Liber nodded and no longer hesitated, he began to execute his secret technique, his aura began to skyrocket rapidly, and the light radiating from his body grew increasingly intense.

Seeing this, Adam took out all the formation discs on his person and began inscribing them.

When the aura on Liber’s body reached its absolute peak, he charged straight at the pitch-black creature.

Seeing the two charging at it, a flash of brutality appeared in the creature’s eyes, waving a sky full of tentacles, it rushed toward Liber.

However, the instant it was about to touch him, Liber’s figure suddenly vanished and appeared directly behind the creature, the painting scroll reappeared in his hand, an incomparably dazzling beam of light shot out from it, piercing straight through the creature’s body.

"Ah!" The pitch-black creature let out a shrill scream as its body began to collapse, black liquid spilling out in all directions.

"It’s not over yet!" Liber fully unfurled the scroll, instantly wrapping it around the creature.

"Scroll within a Painting, Mountain and River Slash!"

The scroll erupted with a blinding radiance, resembling a heavenly river pouring backward and mountains and rivers reversing, in an instant, it slashed the pitch-black creature into countless specks of dust.

The creature let out a final shriek as its body completely disintegrated, turning into a sky full of black particles that dissipated into the air.

So strong! Adam gulped, is this the strength of the Saint Realm? Well, as long as this thing is dead, it’s fine.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally took care of it!" Adam wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a wave of lingering fear.

Liber nodded, his face was somewhat pale, clearly in a weakened state after casting his secret technique.

"Senior, are you alright?" Adam asked with concern.

Liber shook his head, gesturing that he was fine.

"Let’s leave here immediately, the commotion was too great, it’s highly likely to attract the experts of the Heavenly Court," Liber said in a deep voice.

The two didn’t dare linger and swiftly fled the area.

However, what they didn’t know was that this battle had already caught the attention of the Heavenly Court, in the distant Heavenly Court, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching their location.
