66: Who should escape?

“It's over...!!”

The moment the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix appeared, the hearts of all onlookers instantly tightened. The oppressive feeling a Tier 3 fierce beast could bring was enough to make one's breathing stop, even through the screen.

It covered the sky and blotted out the sun.

Golden streams of light flowed all over its body, as if the phoenix had borrowed the sun's light to coat itself in a beautiful and sturdy armor.

Its nine tails swayed gently in the wind,

noble and elegant.

But no one thought of it as a beautiful spectacle now. The more beautiful, the more dangerous. At this moment, a more appropriate description for it was—

Death!

It hovered in mid-air, looking at Han Lie from the perspective of an examiner. There was no emotion in its eyes, giving the feeling of looking at an ant.

As if Han Lie's life was something it could take whenever it wanted.

It made no further movements, which filled people with a sense of sorrow. Some might have guessed that it was waiting for Han Lie to run away.

High-level fierce beasts,

possessed intelligence comparable to humans and cruelty comparable to humans. Perhaps it was because it knew Han Lie had killed so many of its kin that it actively sought revenge.

“!!!”

“Run, Han Lie!!”

“Why aren't you running!!”

The barrage of comments tried to wake up the stunned Han Lie. In everyone's perception, a Tier 3 fierce beast in a low-level Mystic Realm was an invincible existence.

“It's over!!”

Even Old Principal Huo Kun, who always prided himself on remaining calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at the village entrance at this moment!!

He muttered through clenched teeth:

“Run!! Run quickly!!!”

Indeed, Han Lie couldn't defeat and didn't need to fight this thing, but the former just stood there blankly, which was perplexing.

“Could it be...”

“Scared silly!?”

This was actually understandable. The pressure brought by this Tier 3 fierce beast could be felt by ordinary people through the screen, let alone Han Lie, who was there in person!!

“It's over...”

Almost all onlookers felt their hearts sink by half. Some pessimistic abstract thinkers were even yelling in the comments about attending a funeral feast.

Only Cui Dazhi,

didn't look at the content on the screen at all, shaking his head and repeatedly muttering: “My brother can do it, my brother won't die!!”

............

“Hahaha!”

Han Lie held the machete, his whole body filled with irrepressible excitement.

Finally,

Finally!!

Finally, there was a fierce beast that could make him take it seriously, and it was even from the Phoenix clan. Wasn't this a perfect match?

Directly activate the attributes!!

Then, take the medicine!!

【Congenital Medicine Saint Body】

Unleash your power!!

Han Lie directly took out all the leftover food from his pocket. This pile was roughly equivalent to two days' worth of food for him. Regardless of whether he could absorb it or not, he stuffed it all into his mouth at once!!

Instantly, his blood and energy surged.

It was like a bomb igniting an entire volcano. The result was that Han Lie felt an inexhaustible surge of power throughout his body.

His blood and energy were so full they were about to overflow!!

Then let them overflow!!

Grandmaster of Blade Intent 8.0,

Domain directly unfolded!!!

Previously, Han Lie was limited by his martial arts realm, and his energy couldn't support the expansion of his Dao domain, so he couldn't fully utilize the extensions of his Dao at the Return to Simplicity stage. But now, his blood and energy level had risen again, he possessed the advanced attribute Eternal Blood Source 2.0, and he had become a Martial Artist. With all these enhancements, things were different from before.

He could now barely unfold his domain.

In an instant,

he seemed to feel the rhythm of this world's breathing, the pulse of the earth, the moods of the clouds and mist, the fragrance of the world!

It was the feeling of controlling everything.

He held the machete, feeling as if the moment he swung it out, the wind would help him, the clouds would help him, and all things would help him!!

The advantage is mine!!

“Then come on!!!”

Without a single unnecessary word, Han Lie adopted his usual combat style, charging forward directly with a machete.

“Ah?!”

“This is f*cking crazy!!!”

“He seems so excited...!!!”

“It's over, over, over...!!”

The comments section was filled with pessimistic remarks. Facing such a fierce beast, it was bad enough not to run or defend, but to actually charge forward? Wouldn't that be full of openings?

However,

the scene that followed.

stunned everyone.

They saw,

the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix, which was suspended in mid-air and full of pride, actually flapping its wings and ascending?

“............Huh?!”

It was a scene that made one's brain shut down.

If they weren't mistaken,

was it avoiding?

To put it less nicely, it was fleeing.

Facing Han Lie's active charge, the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix didn't dare to clash head-on? My goodness, are you kidding me!?

The comments instantly cleared,

Everyone, regardless of their identity, status, martial arts realm, or experience, was speechless and unable to explain the current scene. And while everyone was confused, the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix continued to ascend.

It seemed to be in a hurry to put distance between itself and Han Lie, completely different from how it was before, suspended in mid-air and examining him.

“What the hell is this?”

In this world, it's impossible to truly empathize. Not even two people can, let alone two species.

If someone could put themselves in the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix's perspective, they would realize that the person it was facing, Han Lie.

Emanated an unstoppable confidence. Although his realm was very weak, he gave off an unusually powerful feeling.

Moreover,

the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix had a feeling that in the other person's eyes, it seemed to be seen through, as if its whole body was full of weaknesses.

And furthermore,

it could smell the aura on the other person. For some reason, on this seemingly weak Human, it seemed to smell the lingering, long-lasting scent of blood and malice left on him after countless members of its own kind had been killed.

And furthermore, and furthermore,

it felt that this world before its eyes was no longer the Mystic Realm it was familiar with and could control. It seemed as if everything was targeting it!!

How could it fight this?!!

All these factors combined,

caused the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix to feel a deep-seated fear that it was no match.

“Escape!!”

It didn't care if this decision would go against its ancestors or if it would be mocked by other members of its kind.

It only knew,

that staying might mean death!!

“Escape!!”

After creating enough distance, it immediately flapped its wings and flew into the distance, heading from the core area towards the low-level area.

................

“Trying to run?”

Han Lie directly chased after it with his knife. There was no way for the prey he set his sights on to escape. Even if the Martial Exam ended, he would chase it until it died.

As for not being able to catch up?

Heh heh,

Han Lie casually killed a fierce beast on his way, picked up its thigh and started gnawing on it. The flesh and blood instantly turned into pure energy!!

Run?

Let's see how you run!!

Even Jesus can't hold you back!!

And so,

something happened that made tens of millions of viewers doubt their lives, their textbooks, and the world.

It wasn't the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix chasing Han Lie.

It was Han Lie chasing the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix!

...Ah?!
