If there had been enough time, perhaps w.a.n.g Baole would not have sustained such serious injuries. It was just that he had needed to quickly end the fight with those men in black. If they had drawn out the battle, the other men in black would definitely have caught up to him.

If w.a.n.g Baole wanted to retaliate, he needed to pay the price. For example, with the previous four men’s counteroffensive, w.a.n.g Baole would have sustained a serious injury even with a Dharmic artifact.

Currently, his aura was a little chaotic. Arching his back, he hurried at full speed through the gra.s.s. As he swallowed pills, he swiftly checked the remaining items in his storage bracelet.

There aren’t many pills left, and I’ve already used half of my Dharmic artifacts…

w.a.n.g Baole licked his lips and found a hole in a tree to hide in. He took out the concealing pearl that he had previously taken from a man in black and used it to hide himself before he released a breath. Then he took out the searching Dharmic artifact and slowly squinted.

To adjust this, I need to open it up. If I can reverse the effect, I can reveal their locations…

If it had someone else, they might not have been able to do this. However, as the ultimate Head Prefect in the Dharmic Armament faculty, he was the top at Spirit Stones, Inscriptions, and Spirit Kernels, and he even had his systemic calculation for his Inscriptions. This was something no one else could do. After examining the circular Dharmic artifact, he was confident of his chances.

There are eight searching Dharmic artifacts in total. Even if I fail a few times, it doesn’t matter. I just need to succeed once!

With this thought in mind, w.a.n.g Baole knew that time was precious, and he immediately began experimenting with the artifact.

Right now, in the Pond Cloud Rainforest, the number of men in black had already been reduced by thirty percent. The remaining men were even more cautious. In actuality, it was extremely difficult and dangerous to chase down w.a.n.g Baole, and even though they were highly trained operatives, they were still shaken.

This was especially so for the elder. He stood where w.a.n.g Baole had fought against the seven men, watching his men pull their corpses from the mud. As the leader, he had brought many men to kill one student; however, he had actually sustained such an abject loss. To him, this was like a slap in the face. His expression was terrible, and his killing intent grew stronger.

“d.a.m.n it. I was told that w.a.n.g Baole only had a cultivation of Perfected Physical Seal realm, but how can someone in the Physical Seal realm kill almost ten of my people? Not just Physical Seal, even if it was the same Pulse Enrichment realm, it would be extremely difficult to do this!”

Even if they had only been carrying out their orders to kill w.a.n.g Baole in the beginning, right now, even without orders, they wanted to exterminate w.a.n.g Baole.

“Also, why does this fellow have so many Dharmic artifacts!”

The elder gritted his teeth. He noticed that his subordinates all seemed to be startled, and his gaze grew colder with determination.

“Continue searching. Everyone, pay attention. This b*stard isn’t simple. The moment you find him, release the signal—I’ll break his neck myself!”

The surrounding men in black nodded. They spread out again to search, their expressions dark, as though forming a wide net that was constantly shrinking.

Just as they scoured the area for him, the hidden w.a.n.g Baole ignored the other five failed circular Dharmic artifacts. Currently, he was staring at the one successful modified searching Dharmic artifact, his gaze bright.

On this Dharmic artifact, he could see twenty points of light swiftly spreading out in all directions. There were three that were closest to him, and the distance from each other was not especially far. w.a.n.g Baole muttered to himself and continued observing. He understood that with the encircling and lockdown, it was only a matter of time before he was found.

I can’t attack anymore. I need to go further away, spread them out, then I can continue to retaliate…

w.a.n.g Baole inhaled deeply and quietly emerged from the hole in the tree. As he checked the Dharmic artifact, he changed his direction, occasionally increasing his speed rapidly and occasionally slowing down. He avoided one man in black after the other, continuously keeping a safe distance as he went deeper into the Pond Cloud Rainforest at rapid speeds.

As long as there were no accidents, w.a.n.g Baole still had a chance of escaping the encirclement. However, the moment he almost escaped, his expression suddenly changed. His legs stopped, and his breathing grew sluggish. He felt a bloodthirsty aura locking onto him.

Slowly, he turned his head. w.a.n.g Baole’s face paled, and his forehead started to sweat.

There were actually seven snakes on the right side of the tree!

Each of them was about as thick as an arm, their entire bodies red with the exception of their heads, which were white. At first glance, they almost seemed to have a baby’s face, although their eyes showed a ferocity that struck fear into one’s heart.

Red-boned white infant snakes!

w.a.n.g Baole’s heart shook. Although he had attacked fearlessly in the Hallucination realm test, that had only been one snake. But with seven snakes, w.a.n.g Baole was immediately fearful. He breathed carefully and backed off. It was his last resort. He did not want to fight with these seven snakes.

Don’t scream, please don’t scream. I won’t kill you guys…

But just as he was about to back away, w.a.n.g Baole noticed that the ferocious gaze in the snakes’ eyes grew more intense. One of the snakes had already opened its mouth. He gritted his teeth, and with an explosive speed, he headed straight for the seven snakes. He raised his right hand and used his Dharmic artifact seals, pills, and his flying swords to attack, immediately killing six of them.

This happened all too fast. w.a.n.g Baole had thrown everything into the attack, but it was too late. The remaining snake dodged his attack, and from its mouth…

A sound traveled all over. In the quiet forest, everyone could hear… a baby’s cry!

This sound was too loud. The instant that it spread, w.a.n.g Baole’s expression turned nasty. What he had feared was not the snakes but rather… their cries. After all, from the Hallucination realm test, w.a.n.g Baole knew that their cry was especially resonant.

d.a.m.n it!

w.a.n.g Baole swiftly stowed his Dharmic artifacts and snake carca.s.ses. He did not have time to kill the last snake. Instead, he dashed off.

At the same time, the surrounding men in black also heard the snake’s cry. All of them turned their heads sharply. Without waiting for them to rush over, the elder sneered, his gaze showing his determination. He raised his right hand. Even though this area had been s.h.i.+elded from voice transmissions, that was only for external transmissions. Within their group, they could still send voice transmissions.

“Cruisers, bomb that area!” The elder sneered as he spoke. Previously, he had not dared to do that as the sound would be too loud, and he did not want to attract the attention of all the beasts in the Pond Cloud Rainforest. But he had spent a long time in the forest, and w.a.n.g Baole was difficult to deal with, so he threw caution to the wind.

Almost immediately after he spoke, five cruisers flew in from afar. They approached rapidly and released beams of light. They were alarmingly hot and exploded in an instant, blowing up the place where the white infant snake’s cry had originated.

The booms of the explosions were shocking. The explosions continued, the earth shook, gra.s.s and trees flew, and mud was flung in all directions. Under the continuous bombing, the entire area was obliterated.

w.a.n.g Baole had also been forced out of hiding. He spat out blood, his body stumbling. The moment he revealed himself, the elder’s eyes flashed. He looked to the sky and laughed. Then he exploded with speed and rushed at w.a.n.g Baole, his body seemingly forming a streak of blinding light.

His speed was too fast, and the power from the perfected Pulse Enrichment realm exploded. On some level, the elder had already refined his Blood Qi to its peak. It seemed especially within his body, he had a miraculous encounter in his early years, and his aura actually seemed to resemble… True Breath!

Although it was definitely not True Breath, this aura caused his combat strength to exceed peak Pulse Enrichment significantly!

w.a.n.g Baole had continuously suffered injuries, and he had been affected by the beams of light. As he panted, the half-step True Breath elder drew closer to him.

As he closed the gap between them, the elder raised his right hand, and it seemed like he had drawn all the surrounding air to himself as his right hand turned scarlet, releasing an alarming force. His hand flew toward w.a.n.g Baole. In the area it pa.s.sed, the air grew blazing hot.

“Die!”

With death so close, w.a.n.g Baole understood that he could no longer escape. He turned his head, his eyes frenzied. He waved his right hand, and in that instant, all the Dharmic artifact seals in his storage bracelet flew out.

After w.a.n.g Baole had activated them, they all exuded the light of a Dharmic artifact. Encircled with Spirit Qi, they flew toward the elder with a boom.

If it had been anyone else, they would not have dared to smash these Dharmic artifacts and chosen to retreat instead. But the elder was scornful, and without stopping, he used his gloved right hand to pinch violently. Immediately, a wave of even greater power emanated from his glove.

“Break!”

In an instant, a minor storm exploded from the glove in the direction of w.a.n.g Baole’s Dharmic artifacts. In the blast, the Dharmic artifact seals released cracking sounds. They broke but did not shatter. What broke was only the external layer of the Dharmic artifact; the Spirit Kernels within had not been destroyed. Instead, the remains of the artifacts blocked the blazing heat from the elder’s palm, neutralizing it!

Despite the booming explosion reducing the power from the palm, it still pa.s.sed through the Dharmic artifacts. But when it landed on w.a.n.g Baole, it only had forty percent of its power left. As there was protection from w.a.n.g Baole’s Daoist robe and storage bracelet, he spat out blood but used its power to charge forwards at even faster speeds. At the same time, he flipped his hand under his robe and held the purple sword in his hand.

This purple sword was his trump card. w.a.n.g Baole knew that he could not easily reveal it; otherwise, the other party would guard against it. He planned to use it only for a killing blow.

“d.a.m.n it!” The elder was surprised. His expression was grotesque. He truly had not imagined that w.a.n.g Baole would have such a high-quality Dharmic artifact in his a.r.s.enal.

At this point, all the surrounding men in black also hurried over. Seeing w.a.n.g Baole spit blood from after being hit by their leader, all of their eyes showed their bloodthirstiness, and they were about to begin the chase.

But then… an unforeseen event suddenly occurred!

A sound like the buzzing of a mosquito suddenly traveled all over the Pond Cloud Rainforest. This buzzing continued, and it unsettled everyone who heard. Even the beasts in Pond Cloud Rainforest started s.h.i.+vering violently, as though it was an instinctual fear.

w.a.n.g Baole was also shocked. The expressions of the men in black behind him changed.

From far off inside the forest, something flew out. It ten feet long, like a little mountain.

A savage giant mosquito!

An indescribable aura of terror exploded from the mosquito, shocking everyone!
