Jiang Feng poured all his strength into his legs and used the Maze Step to scale the mountain quickly.

  "They’re just there, towards our eight o’clock. We can’t let them leave!"

  Voldemort shouted at the Heavenly Demon players with a hoarse voice.

  In an instant, they were surrounded.

  "Only Voldemort knows our positions right now. You guys should separate and return to the Xingyue Region!"

  When he heard Voldemort’s voice, Jiang Feng knew that their presence had already been exposed. However, as long as Feng Qingyang and the others split up, Voldemort will not be able to report their location in time.

  After giving the order, he turned around and saw that a black shadow was getting closer and closer to him.

  As it was approaching him, Jiang Feng checked the attributes of the Black Shadow.

  [Monda Soul]: Early-stage Mythic Dark Demon

  Heaven Realm: B Rank

  Combat Strength: 11W

  True Qi: 5W

  D*mn, no wonder Voldemort had become so powerful. He could control a Mythic Dark Demon!

  When he read out the attributes of the black shadow, Jiang Feng felt so scared that he started to break out in a cold sweat.

  Even though it was just a soul, and so did not possess much mythical power, just a single attack from the shadow would probably be much stronger than that of a Greater Completion Heaven Realm. Even if Jiang Feng somehow managed to survive the blow, he would surely be crippled at the very least.

  "Lin Xiaotong, do you know how to deal with a Mythic Realm soul?"

  Jiang Feng asked his teammate, who was just ten meters away from him.

  Lin Xiaotong was a Taoist priest, which meant that he was particularly skilled when it came to fighting ghosts. If Jiang Feng could get him to suppress the shadow, Voldemort won’t be able to kill him. After all, this was probably his final trump card.

  "I’m not sure, but I can try. You’ll have to stall it and buy me some time."

  Lin Xiaotong replied as he ran towards Jiang Feng. When he finally caught up, Lin Xiaotong took out a talisman and stuffed it into his leader’s hands. Then, in a single motion, he reached for his guitar and spat out a mouthful of blood on the strings before using it to draw more talismans on the back of the guitar.

  Soul-subduing Talisman: A special tool.

  It can suppress ghosts. Low-level ghosts can be killed with this!

  Just as the Monda Soul was about to attack him, Lin Xiaotong poured inner strength into the two soul-subduing talismans and threw them out.

  Boom!

  The talismans attached themselves to the Monda Soul, making it tremble while also slowing it down temporarily. However, when the two soul-subduing talismans suddenly turned into ashes, the effects wore off quickly as well.

  "Keke…… you’ve succeeded in angering me!"

  The Monda Soul cried out in a fit of rage. Then, it turned to aim at Jiang Feng and shot out a ray of black light from the horn on its forehead.

  When he saw the light coming for him, Jiang Feng reacted immediately by summoning his Earth Soul and activating his Black Thunder Chi Shield to block it.

  Boom!

  The impact sent the Earth Soul flying. Little Jiang Feng and Little Golden Dragon were both covered in blood, and had used up more than half of their inner strength from taking the attack directly. On top of that, the black light had also shattered Jiang Feng’s Black Thunder Chi Shield in an instant and hit his body, which sent him flying.

  Hack!

  Jiang Feng landed on his back and spat out a mouthful of blood. That attack had left him seriously injured.

  When he looked down to check on his body, he saw that a black wound had appeared on his chest.

  He quickly took out an Aeon Drop and drank it before getting up to flee. Jiang Feng thought that it would be best if he avoided facing the Monda Soul head-on.

  If it hadn’t been for the Earth Soul and Black Thunder Chi Shield blocking the black light for him, he would have been dead by now, even if his strong physique and high defense did help somewhat.

  After the encounter just now, Jiang Feng realized that his Black Thunder Chi Shield was not powerful enough to be able to completely neutralize the Monda Soul’s attack. It could only soften the blow at best.

  If only he could make the Black Thunder Chi Shield more powerful to counter the Monda Soul’s black light……

  Bringggg! Bringggg!

  Meanwhile, Lin Xiaotong had finally finished drawing the talismans as he ran. As he played the guitar, a golden light suddenly rushed towards the Monda Soul.

  Boom!

  Before it could even react, the golden light had struck the Monda Soul, causing black smoke to diffuse from its body.

  Though Lin Xiaotong’s attack seemed to be effective, it was still not strong enough to defeat the ghost.

  "Captain, it can’t be done. I can only damage it a little. It’s impossible for us to kill or injure it more than this!"

  Lin Xiaotong said to Jiang Feng in the battle chat. When he saw that his attack had not been strong enough against the Monda Soul, Lin Xiaotong quickly stuck a talisman onto his own body and left the battlefield.

  "Run!"

  Even Lin Xiaotong, who specialized in dealing with souls, could not do anything to the Monda Soul. There was no way that they could defeat it.

  With the Heavenly Demon army chasing after them, Jiang Feng realized that they would quite possibly die here, even if they somehow managed to kill the Monda Soul.

  "Jiang Feng, you can’t escape!"

  Just as he said that, Voldemort used some unknown skill to appear beside the Monda Soul. He looked at Jiang Feng with a peculiar smile.

  "You damn freak, don’t be so cocky. Do you think you’ll be able to kill us like this?"

  After receiving a speed-boosting charm from Lin Xiaotong, Jiang Feng got even faster and was now running towards the cliff.

  As they had continued speeding up as they dealt with the earlier attacks, the squadron had crossed the mountain quickly and was almost at the cliff now.

  The experts stationed in the Xingyue region were just on the other side. As long as they managed to go beyond the cliff, Jiang Feng and the others would be able to escape safely.

  "Hmph, you still refuse to admit defeat even when facing death!"

  Voldemort started to float in the air. With a wave of his wand, the three weaker members of the Heavenly Demon army that were standing below him suddenly exploded. Right as they collapsed, their corpses flew towards Voldemort and were sucked into a black hole that had formed on his stomach.

  Hiss……

  After a moment, a black python crawled out from the same black hole. Its mouth was dripping with the blood of the three Heavenly Demons that it had just consumed.

  "This is…… Madan. Voldemort’s body is connected to the Dark Demon World. This is going to be troublesome!"

  When he saw this, Jiang Feng finally understood why Voldemort could use the Dark Demon Soul earlier. He had connected his body to the Dark Demon World and summoned it to help him, but was unable to control it himself.

  As the python crawled out slowly, its body started to enlarge until it became a thousand feet long, completely blotting out the sky.

  Hiss, hiss……

  It suddenly shot Black True Qi from its mouth which headed straight for Jiang Feng and the others.

  Since the python and the Monda Soul were both at Mythic Realm, the effects of the invisibility cloak did not affect them.

  "Run!"

  In order to buy time for his teammates to escape, Jiang Feng summoned his Earth Soul once again to block the True Qi attack.

  Puff, puff……

  However, after taking more than ten streams of True Qi to its body, the Earth Soul shattered and turned into ashes. As the inner strength in its body was fully exhausted, the Earth Soul lost the ability to fight.

  Meanwhile, Feng Qingyang and the others took the opportunity to fly towards the other side of the cliff by using their inner strength.

  When Lin Xiaotong saw that Jiang Feng couldn’t fight anymore, he quickly grabbed onto his body and flew him to the other side of the cliff.

  "Don’t worry about the others. Don’t let him get away. It doesn’t matter if he’s dead or alive as long as you capture him!" Voldemort shouted while pointing towards Jiang Feng.

  Whoosh!

  The python shot out another thirteen streams of True Qi which were all targeted at Jiang Feng.

  When she saw this, Kalosi gritted her teeth and summoned her Earth Soul. Holding a dagger in her hand, she began to activate her innate Qi.

  She was a terminal that had entered the game, so she could revive even if she dies. However, under no circumstances could she allow Jiang Feng to be killed!

  Rip……

  Her Earth Soul was instantly shattered after absorbing two streams of True Qi. As she was caught off guard, two more streams penetrated her body, killing her immediately. Her unmoving body fell down the cliff from the impact.

  Swoosh swoosh!

  However, there were still nine more streams of True Qi heading towards Jiang Feng and Lin Xiaotong.

  The others who had already landed on the ground quickly summoned their Earth Souls as well to help shield Jiang Feng from the attack.

  When the streams of True Qi hit, their Earth Souls were all shattered as well, losing their abilities to fight.

  Swoosh!

  However, they had failed to block the last stream of True Qi, which was now rushing towards Jiang Feng.

  As he saw it approaching, Jiang Feng revealed a look of despair. However, he would not simply accept death. With the last ounce of strength he had left, he opened the Golden Dragon Ring to take out some beast pills before stuffing them quickly into his mouth. Since he couldn’t block the True Qi attack, the next best alternative was to hope that the Beast Pills could help him recover from his injuries after he had taken the hit.

  "Lin Xiaotong, take them away!"

  At the final moment, he pushed Lin Xiaotong towards the shore as the True Qi penetrated his body. Blood started to flow from his chest to his mouth, and his vision became blurry. As he was losing his consciousness, Jiang Feng’s body slowly fell toward the edge of the cliff.

  "Captain!"

  Sus suddenly cried out before swinging the knife chain in his hands. It wrapped itself around Jiang Feng’s body and dragged him toward the shore.

  "Captain, you can’t die…… Captain……" Huang Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Feng with despair and began to sob.

  "Go!"

  Right now, the only person who could still fight was Lin Xiaotong. Without wasting a second, he threw all the talismans that he had in his storage ring into the air…… Then, with the last of his inner strength, he wrapped himself around Jiang Feng and the others, and quickly rushed towards the checkpoint in the Xingyue region.
