504: A lucky accident

"Why don't we try randomly firing a few skills in one direction? What if this guy is invisible?" The wretched man's sudden suggestion made a bad feeling flash through Number Two's heart.

Before he could think it over, he saw the wretched man pointing in his direction and saying, "Let's start with this area!"

"Bastard! How could this guy possibly detect my presence!" Number Two was startled. Even Number One hadn't been able to pinpoint his exact location before, so why could this guy know?

Looking at the black mist churning around him like sea waves, Number Two suddenly seemed to understand something.

But soon, he saw Gu Qinghan actually release a blood-red sphere toward his direction.

The blood-colored sphere exploded less than two meters in front of him, and the force of the explosion left a huge crater in the ground.

Number Two's mana sharply dropped, but he still gritted his teeth and did not expose his presence.

"Nobody here..." Qian Yuanqing sounded slightly regretful as he said this, then took two steps forward with Gu Qinghan.

He pointed in another direction and asked, "How about we try this direction?"

Gu Qinghan did not immediately act. Instead, he looked at Qian Yuanqing and asked, "Why do I feel like you're just pointing randomly?"

Qian Yuanqing widened his eyes and spoke with an air of profound distress: "Brother, my heart is connected to yours, yet you aren't even willing to give me basic trust. Do you know how much this skill costs me? If I use some of your mana, you..."

"Fine, I'll listen to you and try again." Gu Qinghan immediately cut off the guy's performance. Since he currently had no leads, trying the other party's suggestion wasn't a bad idea.

The most crucial thing was that Qian Yuanqing had released this skill, so Gu Qinghan owed him a favor.

Number Two absolutely could not escape! He must die here!

This time, Gu Qinghan simply had his Death Knights form a square formation and charge through the surrounding area.

"One minute. If such a large-scale sweep doesn't work, we'll look somewhere else. If I'm not mistaken, your skill shouldn't be sustainable for too long, right?"

Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Qian Yuanqing nodded in agreement and said nothing more.

Number Two, hiding in his space, calculated that based on his mana consumption from the previous few times, he should have more than half of his mana left after enduring for one minute.

"It's an illusion. How could he possibly find my location..." Number Two gave himself a shot of reassurance, then focused on resisting the charging damage from the Death Knights.

Gu Qinghan only released a little over two hundred Death Knights this time, as he had kept about two hundred near the edge of the black mist.

This way, if anyone tried to leave and fight the Death Knights, he would know immediately.

At the same time, Gu Qinghan wanted the Death Knights to guard against reinforcements from the giants.

Chu Tian and a large group of Clerics from Huaguo were fighting inside, and Gu Qinghan did not want his plan to harm them.

A minute passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qinghan was just about to recall the Death Knights and leave when Qian Yuanqing spoke up:

"Wait a moment. I felt a fluctuation in the surrounding mist just now. Let me sense it first. You keep your subordinates attacking."

Gu Qinghan frowned slightly. If Qian Yuanqing hadn't helped him several times already, he might have suspected the other party was trying to stall for time.

However, he said nothing, simply keeping his Death Knights in their charging state.

After all, the Death Knights' physical strength was nearly infinite; they would not run out of stamina like Professionals.

Number Two also heard the conversation between the two.

At first, he didn't react much.

But at a certain moment, a realization suddenly dawned on him: this wretched guy actually knew his location from the very beginning.

For some unknown reason, however, he had been making Gu Qinghan slowly wear him down.

What a sinister fellow!

After realizing this, Number Two immediately made a decision.

He had to break out; he absolutely couldn't sit still and wait for death.

If these two continued like this, his mana would definitely not last much longer.

Even if he had items that could restore mana, he would still be thrown into an extremely passive situation.

Just as Number Two made this decision, Gu Qinghan finally decided not to waste any more time.

Just as he was about to speak, he sensed a figure suddenly appearing out of thin air in an empty space a few meters away.

The person had brown hair and immediately ran in the opposite direction from him the moment he appeared.

Gu Qinghan knew from Number Thirteen's message that Number Two's disguise included this hair color.

He couldn't help but look at Qian Yuanqing beside him with surprise.

He hadn't expected this guy to actually find Number Two's location.

Was it luck, or did he possess some special method?

But at this moment, Gu Qinghan didn't have time to ask. He immediately launched an attack toward the fleeing Number Two.

Qian Yuanqing had previously cast a skill on him that allowed his visibility in the black mist to be much farther than others.

This effect also seemed to extend to all of his subordinates.

Bone Demon appeared from beside Gu Qinghan, gave a strange laugh, and charged toward Number Two.

The Scarlet Witch also turned into a small pink bat and charged out alongside Bone Demon.

They both sensed Number Two's power, yet they felt no fear; instead, their fighting spirit burned intensely.

For Netherworld Creatures, killing enemies in battle was a form of glory and an honor.

And being killed by a stronger enemy was their destiny, which could even bring them pleasure.

Number Two glanced back.

Although the thick black mist prevented him from seeing anything clearly, he could still sense something chasing after him.

The extremely unique long blade suddenly appeared in his hand.

The blade had several fractures, yet the entire weapon moved as one unit.

Number Two continuously swung his long blade while rushing forward.

Strangely, even though he was swinging the blade forward, streaks of silver-white light suddenly appeared behind him.

After appearing, these blade lights seemed to freeze in mid-air, then slowly faded, seemingly vanishing into thin air.

But when Bone Demon and the Scarlet Witch charged over, the vanished blade lights suddenly reappeared, inflicting wounds on both of them.

"Interesting!" Bone Demon merely glanced down at his bones, which now had several slash marks, and continued charging forward.

The pink bat that the Scarlet Witch had transformed into had its wings severed.

She reverted to her true form, and blood gradually flowed from where her arm had been cut off.

The blood reformed into an arm, and the Scarlet Witch charged forward without any hesitation.

Number Two felt the pursuit behind him hadn't stopped at all, and his face instantly became as ugly as if he had eaten feces: "Damn it, aren't these things afraid of death?!"
