67: Wish for three safe days!
Blood Skyhawk closed his eyes, despair filling his heart.
He truly couldn't think of a way to break free from their current predicament.
However, at this very moment, something unexpected happened.
The instant Blood Skyhawk closed his eyes, the Chain Evil Spirits in front of him seemed to lose their target, as if falling into a daze.
At the same time, the black Evil Spirits behind Blood Skyhawk, which had just finished coalescing and were wielding a large saber, happened to confront it.
The Chain Evil Spirits locked onto a new target at that moment, turning their attention to this new opponent.
Two forces of rules collided instantly, and space seemed to solidify.
A crisp "crack" sounded, and the white mist permeating the air was torn apart by the force of rules, quickly dissipating.
Blood Skyhawk and the others emerged from the white mist, and their surroundings returned to a desolate ruin.
In front of Blood Skyhawk, a vortex about one meter in diameter appeared out of thin air, its center continuously releasing strange energy.
Noticing the anomaly, Blood Skyhawk suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Critical Point!?"
He had never expected that a Critical Point would appear before him in such a manner.
At the same time, the moment the rules shattered, Watanabe Ichiro's pressure also briefly loosened.
An Changyang seized the opportunity and quickly crushed the Scarlet Lord's energy sphere.
A terrifying crimson energy surged skyward like a volcanic eruption, heading straight for the Critical Point and Watanabe Ichiro in the air.
Watanabe Ichiro in the sky felt this power and frowned deeply.
He hadn't expected these "ants" to still have such a trump card.
Facing the surging energy, he had no choice but to temporarily retreat, swinging his sword to create a barrier to defend himself.
"Go!" Blood Skyhawk roared, once again condensing bloodlines to entangle Su Yun, Fang Zhiqiang, and An Changyang, while simultaneously burning his essence blood to prepare for a breakthrough.
Blood Skyhawk frantically rushed in one direction, as if something terrifying was chasing him from behind.
However, on his escape route, he casually grabbed two masses of energy—these were things produced after the collision of Evil Spirits rules.
"Good luck!" Blood Skyhawk secretly rejoiced.
Although he had never used this type of energy before, he had heard that consuming it could enhance one's strength.
Moreover, this energy only appeared after breaking the Evil Spirits rules, so it was an unexpected gain.
At the same time, Su Yun took the destiny coin and quickly tossed it into the air.
"Ding—!"
The coin flipped and landed face up, the benevolent maiden smiling as she watched them.
"I wish that we will all be safe and sound for the next three days," Su Yun silently made his wish the moment he tossed the coin.
Seeing this, Blood Skyhawk breathed a sigh of relief, and the sense of crisis in his heart slightly lessened.
But he didn't completely relax; after all, this was only a three-day safe period.
No one could say what would happen after three days.
"I still have to run!" Blood Skyhawk thought. "If I'm beaten like a dead dog and locked up, even living for three days isn't as good as just dying."
So, dragging the three people, he continued to run desperately, not knowing how long they ran, until they finally found an abandoned house in a hot area and temporarily hid there.
As soon as they entered the house, Blood Skyhawk, holding on with his last breath, said to Su Yun, "Crow's Mouth, don't speak for a while..."
"And..."
Before he could finish speaking, Blood Skyhawk fainted from excessive blood loss.
But before losing consciousness, he still handed the two energy masses to Su Yun.
...
On the other side, Watanabe Ichiro took a direct hit from the Scarlet Lord.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and a small piece was chipped from his demonic sword, Muramasa.
Watanabe Ichiro raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes grimly fixed on the chip in the blade, and a strange smile gradually spread across his lips.
"Interesting, truly interesting!"
He bared his teeth, revealing his stark white fangs. "I didn't expect you to have such a trump card. It seems you must be hiding something good on you!"
Half of his face suddenly twisted into a mad laugh:
"Hahaha! If you ask me, a coward like you doesn't even dare to kill, let alone fight against us!"
"You can't even defeat four ants, what a waste."
"Why don't you give your body to me...?"
"Shut up!" Watanabe Ichiro coldly interrupted, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.
He looked up at the Critical Point in the distance, which was continuously emitting crimson energy, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
This energy carried an aura that made his heart tremble.
"This isn't an ordinary 'World-level' existence; it's at least a peak World-level powerhouse," Watanabe Ichiro muttered to himself.
"However, no matter how strong your trump card is, it's not your own strength after all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Watanabe Ichiro disappeared from his original spot, following a certain aura.
As for the Critical Point that had just been opened?
It was merely an S-rank, not worth a second glance.
Of course, he had no intention of abandoning the god's crystal inside.
It was just that the crimson energy had not yet dissipated, so he decided to retrieve it when the time was right.
...
On the other side, Blood Skyhawk and his group had just rested for a while.
Su Yun did not keep the two energy masses he obtained for himself; instead, he directly distributed them to An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang.
He glanced at them and felt that this amount of energy was simply not enough, and it would be better to find his main body for another item.
What's more, after the main body upgraded, the energy within their clones had already surged by a significant margin.
Although they still didn't have an "attack button," just by unleashing their energy, drowning a Bright Moon was not an issue.
As for An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang, because they hadn't participated much in the previous battle and were dragged along by Blood Skyhawk while escaping, their consumption was not significant.
With the added boost from these two energy masses, their injuries finally stabilized, and they could barely recover to human form.
More importantly, both of their realms had broken through to Candlelight Upper.
Especially An Changyang, during these days of desperate running, his control over his own abilities became increasingly proficient.
Now, he could recover to human form on his own without using his mimicry ability.
"Um... I want to ask, since a Critical Point has already been opened, should we go back, stay here, or go open the next Critical Point?" At this moment, Fang Zhiqiang, who had transformed back into human form, spoke softly.
After saying this, Fang Zhiqiang noticed that Crow's Mouth and Stone Wolf showed no reaction, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart, making him feel much lighter.
It wasn't that he was a coward; it was just that before coming here, he was a complete ordinary person, and his greatest pleasure was staying at home playing games.
Even if he occasionally had some chuunibyou fantasies, at the end of the day, he was still just an ordinary person.
But after coming here, what had he experienced?
These days, they were either fleeing for their lives or rushing along on the path of escape.
In fact, most of the time, he was being led away, not actively running himself.
Not to mention the things they encountered these days, every single one was unprecedented. That terrifying sense of crisis and the feeling of brushing past death were truly unbearable.
