462: You're so slow, I feel embarrassed to hit you

Crack!

Thunder King Ye Leng hadn't expected Shen Bei to be so alert and cunning, immediately retreating when he saw the situation was unfavorable.

This was completely disproportionate to his arrogant attitude from just now.

He had thought Shen Bei was an arrogant, contemptuous Martial Artist who would recklessly charge into a fight, willing to use his Physical Body for brawling.

He hadn't expected...

He ran as soon as he decided, without any hesitation.

"Trying to run now?"

Thunder King Ye Leng's eyes were bloodshot, his killing intent burning: "Too late!"

There's no precedent for someone acting tough and then trying to run away from me!

Thunder King Ye Leng's reaction was incredibly swift; electric light erupted from every pore on his body, and he instantly transformed into a streaking bolt of lightning, tearing through the Void Realm, pursuing at an astonishing speed that the naked eye couldn't catch.

It was a rare opportunity to obtain the Mind's Eye Potion, as this unknown but decent-ranked Martial Artist had delivered himself into his net. If Shen Bei escaped, he would likely miss out entirely, so how could he possibly let him leave?

The Sheepskin Assassin also knew that if he let Shen Bei leave, he would never have peace again.

After all, this guy completely ignored his Mental Energy disguise. If this Bird-Beak Martial Artist got away...

How could he ever show his face again without being chased and beaten by him?

Cut the grass, remove the roots!

The Evil God Giant Statue of the Sheepskin Assassin took massive strides, crushing buildings and houses, completely disregarding the lives of the common people in the entire urban area, shaking the earth as he pursued furiously.

As the giant statue took its steps, incomprehensible syllables suddenly emanated from within its body. Then, its hundreds of tons of mass violently vibrated and rapidly compressed, transforming into a figure about ten meters tall, moving with greater agility, easily covering dozens of meters with each stride.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The explosive roar and vibration of the air still echoed through the ruined, chaotic urban area. In a flash, two dazzling bolts of lightning, one after another, moved at an indescribable speed, passing through the urban area amidst collapsing houses. Behind the lightning, the Evil God Giant Statue, radiating overwhelming malevolent Qi, ran furiously, crushing an unknown number of ant-like common people and residents along the way.

Soon, the two streaking bolts of lightning burst out of the capital city at extreme speed, entering the vast wilderness. Each flicker covered nearly a hundred meters.

Due to the ultra-high-speed movement, the surrounding scenery had completely transformed into a blurry, chaotic stream. Shen Bei's figure flickered rapidly ahead, while the Lei Wang's speed behind him was not slow at all, his gaze cold as he locked onto Shen Bei.

Thunder King Ye Leng had noticed that Shen Bei's entire body ahead seemed to lack a true form, instead transforming into actual lightning. With each flash of lightning, he would exhibit incredible displacement, which must be the instant movement technique the Sheepskin Assassin had warned him about.

Although he temporarily couldn't figure out how Shen Bei managed this, the Sheepskin Assassin clearly perceived a noticeable weakness in this method: there was a slight stagnation when the opponent activated this ability, as if he wasn't proficient.

More importantly, the distance covered by each instant movement was limited, only about dozens of meters.

As a Lei Wang who commanded the power of lightning, speed itself was an absolute advantage. When his "Super-Electric Engine" fully burst forth, he could instantly reach a terrifying speed close to the speed of sound. Therefore, in his relentless pursuit, his speed was no less than Shen Bei's flickering, instantaneous movements ahead.

Lei Wang judged that the Bird-Beak Martial Artist's instant movement technique must consume a considerable amount of energy. With the massive electrical energy stored in his "Super-Electric Engine" for support, once the opponent's stamina was depleted, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar!

Across the vast land, dust clouds rolled. Two meteors flickered rapidly, traversing the terrain. Behind them, an Evil God Giant Statue trampled the earth, pursuing relentlessly, making the entire cold, desolate land boil.

In just one or two minutes, Shen Bei, Lei Wang, and the Sheepskin Assassin had left the capital city, and the urban area was already a blurry, distant sight.

"Hahahahaha—!"

The cold wind was like a knife, hitting him in the face. In the midst of the frantic chase, Thunder King Ye Leng was relentless, his voice like rolling thunder, laughing loudly to strike at his opponent's spirit:

"Is this your so-called instant movement ability? Too slow, too slow, too slow!"

Thunder King Ye Leng's wild laughter reverberated across the wilderness, but Shen Bei, ahead, showed no anger. His gaze strangely scanned his surroundings. After confirming they were completely away from the urban area, he suddenly turned and raised his hand:

Crackle, crackle!

Several thick bolts of lightning instantly erupted from his palm, striking directly at the Lei Wang who was relentlessly pursuing him like a maggot on bone.

"Useless effort!"

However, facing Shen Bei's lightning attack, Thunder King Ye Leng didn't dodge or evade at all, allowing the electric light to explode in front of him, and even on his body. The high-voltage lightning power, like heavenly thunder striking the earth, unleashed bursts of electrical storms, shattering the ground and fiercely kicking up layers of earth and mud. Yet, apart from his furious momentum being momentarily hindered, Lei Wang was completely unharmed.

Shen Bei stopped, staring at the scene with a strange look in his eyes.

"Why aren't you running anymore?"

Stepping out from the surging mud waves, Lei Wang found that Shen Bei hadn't attacked or fled, but was standing in place with a strange look in his eyes, laughing arrogantly:

"Have you finally recognized reality?"

"I have to say, your abilities would give you a huge advantage against any other Eighth Rank Martial Warrior. Even a Ninth Rank, who is a step above you in cultivation, would struggle to be your opponent."

Thunder King Ye Leng's eyes continuously flashed with lightning. He spoke condescendingly and unhurriedly:

"However, you just happened to meet me!"

"Your lightning attacks are ineffective against me! Your speed, which you pride yourself on, is not worth mentioning to me! Meeting me is a complete and utter tragedy for you!"

"Niao Zui Kid, as fellow top-tier abilities with lightning attributes, I am your natural nemesis. Do you still want to struggle?"

With a savage and boundless aura emanating from him, Lei Wang stood proudly, his words mercilessly striking at his opponent's spirit, as if everything was within his grasp.

In fact, it was true.

The two abilities Shen Bei displayed would undoubtedly put any other Eighth Rank Martial Warrior at a great disadvantage if they were unprepared. However, as an Eighth Rank Martial Warrior with the "Super-Electric Engine," he was not among them.

Neither Shen Bei's almost undefendable lightning attacks nor his elusive speed were effective against him; in fact, he even countered them!

He wasn't in a hurry to act, but was waiting for the Sheepskin Assassin to arrive.

Despise the enemy strategically, but respect the enemy tactically.

Although he was confident he had the Bird-Beak Martial Artist cornered, even with his abilities and strength completely suppressing the opponent, he wouldn't be careless in the slightest.

He wanted to avoid any possibility of an unexpected mishap.

Waiting for the Sheepskin Assassin to arrive, and then having both of them flank and attack, was undoubtedly the safest method.

However, in the distance, the Sheepskin Assassin's Evil God Giant Statue was trampling the earth, rushing over. Shen Bei, though, looked at Lei Wang with a strange gaze, as if looking at another version of himself:

"Indeed, our abilities are very similar, very similar..."

Shen Bei looked at Lei Wang, his gaze growing increasingly unrestrained, his smile indescribably ferocious and violent:

"Fool, but you've got one thing wrong. The reason I led you here is simply because I didn't want more common people to suffer!"

Crack!

Shen Bei's body exploded with electricity, disappearing from his original spot.

"I've been waiting for you!"

And the next moment, Thunder King Ye Leng's eyelids suddenly twitched. Explosive lightning erupted from his fist and arm, and without thinking, he threw a punch in the direction beside him!

Driven by the "Super-Electric Engine," completely unleashing explosive lightning power.

Martial Skill: Thunder Collapse Fist!

Strike!
