Chapter 583: Chapter 461: Escape!

The evil creature collided with the Golden-winged Bird a split second before—

Vermilion Bird had just completed a magic spell.

Li Long’s gaze fixed on Wu Xiaode, malevolently pulling out a long, pointed horn from his waist.

Just as he was about to strike, he sensed something and immediately positioned the sharp horn in front of him defensively, no longer trying to attack Wu Xiaode, but rather adopting a defensive stance.

However, Vermilion Bird’s magic was already complete.

A blaze of fire streaked towards the Red-skinned Demon—

"Master, save me!"

The Red-skinned Demon cried out just before being struck by the fire, its body suddenly swelled up, bursting into a mass of blurred flesh and blood.

Evil Phoenix, however, did not make a move.

—The Golden-winged Bird was plunging swiftly downwards.

Three against one, just one careless move could lead to an irreversible disaster; how could it spare any attention to save its subordinate!

A moment had passed.

Boom!!!

The evil creature was flung out of the temple.

It collided head-on with the Golden-winged Bird, making "klok klok klok klok" sounds.

Evil Phoenix was stunned.

Vermilion Bird was stunned.

Li Long’s expression drastically changed, his figure quietly retreating.

Suddenly—

A pair of golden wings emerged from behind the Golden-winged Bird, preparing to swiftly dodge to the side.

The evil creature opened its eyes.

Its upper body consisted of two women standing side by side, one of whom let out a giggling laughter:

"Sister is pretty, don’t leave, let me find someone to accompany you."

Almost instantly.

The Void manifested countless ghostly shadows, which upon first glance, all looked like the majestically imposing Golden-winged Bird.

Some transformed into noble men and beautiful women, others spread wings emitting Golden Light and flew around, while some directly pounced forward.

For a moment.

Countless Golden-winged Birds surrounded the real Golden-winged Bird.

Everyone was shocked, taking a defensive stance and carefully observing the situation.

Blood Youth flew out of the temple, saw the dazed looks on the Golden-winged Bird, and immediately whispered into Wu Xiaode’s ear:

"Once this magic hits, the Divine Soul is immediately split into many parts, forced into those phantoms, never to regain clarity again."

Wu Xiaode, looking at the countless Golden-winged Birds, asked somewhat speechlessly:

"Unable to resist?"

"Yes, this magic is very odd, irresistible. You see—" Blood Youth said with a tinge of disgust in his voice.

Wu Xiaode fixed his gaze, seeing one of the twin women opening her eyes and saying to the Golden-winged Bird:

"Haven’t eaten a bird in a long time."

She opened her mouth wide—

Or rather, her entire figure transformed into a giant mouth full of interlocking sharp teeth, viciously lunging forward for a peck!

The Golden-winged Bird was swallowed in one gulp.

The evil creature’s serpentine body bulged, continuously slipping downwards—

This was the swallowed Golden-winged Bird.

The massive mouth shook a bit, transforming back into the figure of the woman.

Together the two women said, "Delicious..."

Everyone around stood frozen.

As great demons, especially in a world where the strong are nearly extinct, they were the sky.

Who knew the Golden-winged Bird wouldn’t last even a single round.

Then the two women licked their lips together, their eyes glancing over at everyone around them, finally landing on Li Long.

"Courting death."

Li Long coldly uttered a curse, suddenly transforming into a fleeting shadow and flying off into the distance.

"Think you can run?"

The two women giggled.

They stood still, but the pupils on their tails opened up, shooting a bolt of electricity towards where Li Long had vanished into the darkness.

A painful groan emanated from deep within the darkness.

"Let’s go."

A voice suddenly rang in Wu Xiaode’s ear.

Evil Phoenix.

This time she finally saw an opportunity and took out an Array Plate in one hand and a promissory note in the other, gesturing to Wu Xiaode with her eyes.

Wu Xiaode immediately understood.

"Ulysses."

He whispered in his mind.

—Ulysses’ "Strategic Transfer Master", although used for dodging bills, was still a magic from the Holy Series, and in escaping, it was definitely faster than Li Long!

Ulysses immediately appeared amidst the Luminous Flames, loudly saying:

"Run!"

Boom—

Wu Xiaode instantly broke the sound barrier, flickering several times in the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

The evil creature glanced at Wu Xiaode, then turned towards where Li Long had vanished, and then looked at the ever-prepared Vermilion Bird and Evil Phoenix standing nearby.

"An ally with the weakest strength... not worth giving up so many real delicacies for him," one woman said.

"Sister’s right, let’s eat Li Long first," the other woman said.

"Good idea."

The two women embraced one another, immediately transforming into an even larger monstrous mouth, and with a vacuuming inhalation—

Li Long suddenly fell like a rolling gourd in front of the temple.

He paused, his face paling as he said:

"Impossible!"

Vermilion Bird, instead of retreating, advanced, landing beside him and saying, "There’s no escape, we might as well fight together."

Li Long looked toward Evil Phoenix, unable to help but shouting:

"Evil Phoenix, preserving our lives is crucial right now, come and fight this monster together!"

At that moment, Evil Phoenix’s magic finally succeeded.

"The situation you all caused, what does it have to do with me."

She revealed a slight smile.

Li Long looked at the Array Plate in her hand and shook his head, "The Space Imprisonment Formation has already been laid out, now none of us could teleport to the ground."

He finished speaking with some dejection.

The space formation prepared to trap Evil Phoenix now ensnared them as well in this ghostly place!

Evil Phoenix laughed again:

"Who said I’m heading to the ground, I just want you to die first."

Ripples spread through the Void.

The Array Plate activated!

In the blink of an eye, the Evil Phoenix had disappeared.

In the open space in front of the temple, only Li Long and Vermilion Bird remained.

Li Long looked up at that evil object.

The evil object was smiling gleefully as it watched the two, both women speaking together:

"They won’t be able to run away, and neither will you two. Eventually, you will all reunite inside my stomach."

...

Wu Xiaode was flying rapidly.

The wind howled incessantly in the darkness.

—As for flying, he wasn’t worried about that.

After all, this was a Causality Law Skill which, according to Ulysses, contained the attribute of "safely and successfully evading creditors."

"Blood Youth."

Wu Xiaode called out silently.

"What does the master need?" Blood Youth responded.

"I have indeed escaped, but can the other party really not follow?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"That thing locks onto targets with the scent of Divine Souls. It has already smelled your scent, it will definitely follow," Blood Youth said.

Wu Xiaode was somewhat surprised.

He had just asked a question, without any commands, so it wouldn’t trigger the Causality Law between him and Blood Youth.

She could have easily lied to him that "it won’t follow," then find an opportunity to save him once, and thereby gain her freedom.

Why was she so honest?

Doesn’t she wish to be free anymore?

But since she had said this, he also needed to make some preparations.

"Can you feel it when the cloak of Everday City covers you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes," Blood Youth replied.

Troublesome.

What if the Evil Phoenix teleports here later?

Even if he covered her with the cloak of Everday City, she would discover it immediately.

With her knowledge, she would naturally discern that it was a magic never seen before and would suspect White Wolf’s identity.

What method could make her unaware?

Wu Xiaode’s speed of flight gradually slowed down, eventually stopping in front of a completely dark wall.

He glanced around casually and entered a hole in the wall, crouching there. Suddenly, he released a bunch of Luminous Flames.

"Blood Youth, if it’s cast on you, can you sense it?"

"Yes, it’s a beneficial type of magic meant to help me conceal myself; it naturally allows me to know, master," she responded.

"How about this?"

Wu Xiaode released another bunch of Luminous Flames, casting it over the previous bunch.

—Covering Everday City within Everday City, making Everday City undetectable.

"I can’t feel it now,"

Blood Youth blandly said.

—For her master’s various actions, she had become somewhat numb.

"Good, the Evil Phoenix is coming!" Wu Xiaode said.

The next instant.

The oscillation of space happened instantly.

"Qi Sect, Floating Light Shadow Skill!"

Accompanied by a female voice, the Evil Phoenix directly appeared in front of Wu Xiaode.

"Master, I didn’t expect you to also be proficient in the art of formations,"

Wu Xiaode said, admiringly.

He subtly shifted his fingers, covering the cave with the double-layered cloak of Everday City.

The Evil Phoenix was completely unaware.

She surveyed her surroundings and asked, "What place is this?"

Wu Xiaode hastily replied:

"I don’t know, but this cave seems to have some kind of concealing power. Just now, an extremely terrifying monster passed by the cave, yet it didn’t sense me."

"Concealing power? How could a cave have such an ability?" the Evil Phoenix was somewhat skeptical.

The next second.

A huge black centipede silently crawled over the entrance of the cave.

As it crawled, it emitted a cry like that of a baby.

Wu Xiaode also was stunned.

Yes.

This underground is filled with dangers, and though he possessed the power of the Strategic Transfer Master, the fleeing from debts had already ended.

The danger should indeed come now.

Fortunately, he had already covered the cave with the double-layered cloak of Everday City.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The Evil Phoenix glanced at him, taking in his apprehensive appearance.

This White Wolf could hunt for treasures and flee from debts, but he was too weak and had never been to this place before, so he couldn’t deceive her with lies.

The Evil Phoenix was somewhat convinced and sighed:

"It seems we are lucky... though I wonder how the battle between Li Long and Vermilion Bird with that evil object is developing."

Before she had finished speaking.

Suddenly, two women appeared at the mouth of the cave.

—It was the upper half of that evil object!

The two women looked around and murmured, "Strange, it should be right here."

"Right, but the scent suddenly disappeared just now."

The evil object crawled up the entrance, its long body slowly snaking past.

Wu Xiaode and the Evil Phoenix saw clearly, inside its serpentine body, several things were bulging.

No need to guess.

Li Long and Vermilion Bird had been swallowed down.

So quickly!

Wu Xiaode glanced at the Evil Phoenix.

The Evil Phoenix’s face turned pale, her beauty marred, as if she was about to collapse.

Rustling sounds came from all around, becoming more dense, filled with eerie murderous intent.

The evil object finally stopped.

"Let’s go, sisters, those two guys must have been eaten."

"What a pity... but there’s no helping it, who wouldn’t want to eat them?"

The voices of the two women came from outside.

After a few moments.

Wu Xiaode saw in the distance within the Dark Void, the evil object dragging its huge body, lazily drifting away.

The wind blew.

Wu Xiaode suddenly realized that his back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
