277: Chapter 277 The Escape Route of the Running Man in Shanghai

Hearing this airtight and deeply moving analysis from Gou Fugui.

Xiang Batian, a tough guy who always championed biomechanics and the truth of muscles, could not help but be deeply moved by this great spirit of sacrifice!

His well-defined muscles trembled slightly, and tears of emotion even welled up in his eyes.

"Wuu wuu wuu... So that's how it is!"

Xiang Batian slammed his broad pectoral muscles, producing a dull "thud-thud" sound, his tone extremely tragic:

"The brothers from Shushan Dao-Wu Academy are too enthusiastic! Too great! They aren't just protecting us; they are protecting the great friendship between Magic City Martial Arts University and Shushan Dao-Wu Academy!"

Gou Fugui nodded solemnly. The two even stood side by side and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, facing the blazing fire in the direction of the Shushan Dao-Wu camp!

"Brothers of Shushan Academy, rest in peace!"

Gou Fugui clenched his fists and swore through gritted teeth, with a distinctly sleazy air:

"Your kindness, I, Gou Fugui, will never forget in this lifetime! For the sake of your sacrifice, even if we have to cower, we must survive until the end of the competition!"

"We must live on for your sake! We absolutely cannot be eliminated! This is no longer just a competition for the two of us; this is an escape carrying the hopes of the entire Shushan Dao-Wu!"

"Yeah!!!" Xiang Batian nodded heavily, his body filled with strength.

However.

Just as these two guys, who were immersed in self-admiration and possessed highly abstract thought processes, were preparing to turn their grief into energy and continue their escape path in search of a "thigh" (patron/protector).

"Whoosh!!!"

An extremely familiar, yet ten times hotter and more terrifying heatwave suddenly swept over from the direction they had just bowed to, like a tsunami!

"You second-hand selling scoundrel!!!"

"Stop right there, you!"

Accompanied by a piercing, cloud-shattering shout filled with extreme murderous intent and shame!

Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian stiffened instantly, their necks turning like rusted mechanical gears with a "clack, clack, clack" sound.

They saw that less than five hundred meters behind them in mid-air, a tall figure wrapped entirely in pure golden flames was stepping on the void, locked onto their position like a guided missile, and approaching crazily!

The sky-high rage that even the mask and sunglasses couldn't hide seemed ready to set the entire sky on fire!

"Holy crap?! How did she catch up again?!"

Gou Fugui was scared out of his wits; the emotion he had just brewed was instantly eaten by the dogs, and his scalp felt like it was about to split open.

"Didn't the brothers from Shushan hold her back?!" Xiang Batian also panicked, hopping on the spot.

Before the two could take off running.

Behind Qin Zhuo, another extremely disheveled but equally murderous white figure was also pursuing them, stepping on a mysterious formation compass!

It was the blind genius, Yan Qinghuan, with his white silk charred and his face covered in soot!

"Crazy woman! You destroyed my great formation! You eliminated five of my team members! If you don't give my Shushan an explanation today, don't think about leaving! Kun Character Formula, Earth Barrier! Stay right there!"

Yan Qinghuan roared repeatedly, throwing a handful of jade chess pieces crazily. Several massive earth and stone walls instantly rose from the ground in front of Qin Zhuo, attempting to block her path.

"Get lost! Don't block the way, you blind idiot! This young lady has no time for you right now! I'm going to burn that foul-mouthed scoundrel up ahead into ash first!"

Qin Zhuo backhanded a pillar of Divine Phoenix Fire, brutally blasting Yan Qinghuan's earth walls to pieces.

But Yan Qinghuan's Qi Men Dun Jia was extremely troublesome. As the two bombarded each other in the high sky, they were moving at high speed, strangely and simultaneously, in the direction of Gou Fugui and his companion!

One was a peerless Divine Phoenix driven mad by cyberbullying and social death.

The other was an extreme formation master who was so angry he was vomiting blood after his team was innocently wiped out.

With these two immortals fighting, even the slightest aftershock was enough to kill Gou Fugui and his companion instantly!

"Mommy! Why do these gods fighting have to crowd over to our side?!"

Gou Fugui was so scared that tears streamed down his face. He lunged and hugged Xiang Batian's arm, his legs kicking up afterimages like Wind Fire Wheels on the ground:

"Batian! Run! This place is just too terrifying!"

"These are all unreasonable lunatics! We need to find a 'thigh' immediately! Brother Jiang! Senior White! Chief Xie! Senior Ji... where on earth are you all!!!"

Xiang Batian was also on the verge of tears. The two scrambled and crawled, frantically weaving through the piles of rocks and bushes.

However, the temperature behind them grew higher and higher, and the oppressive feeling of being locked onto by death made Gou Fugui's spine chill.

Just at this critical moment!

Gou Fugui's extremely sharp hearing suddenly caught the sound of dense weapon clashes and intense Supernatural Ability fluctuations coming from a few kilometers to the front left!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Yellow sand filled the sky, and sword Qi crisscrossed! It was clear that a large-scale, high-tier battle was taking place there!

"Batian! Run to the front left!"

Gou Fugui's cunning merchant instinct instantly came online. In a flash of inspiration, he pointed to the war-torn area in the distance and roared hysterically:

"Someone is fighting over there! And the commotion is huge; they must be top-tier experts!"

"Let's stir up the water! This is called diverting the disaster! As long as we rush into someone else's battlefield, this female bandit and that blind guy will definitely have reservations, and we can slip away in the chaos!"

"Good idea! Fugui, hold on tight! I'm going to activate maximum horsepower!"

Xiang Batian roared, and his muscles instantly expanded a size.

He grabbed Gou Fugui and threw him onto his shoulder like a sack of rice, then exerted force with his feet. Like a crazed rhinoceros, he smashed through several large trees in front of him and launched a death sprint toward the unknown battlefield in the distance!

Meanwhile, in an area of mixed rocks and ruins a few kilometers away from Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian.

"Boom!"

The yellow sand filling the sky was like a violent sand dragon, raging crazily in mid-air, with every grain of sand carrying terrifying corrosive and cutting power!

Directly opposite the sky-filling yellow sand, a thick and heavy Deep Sea Sword Qi that made people suffocate was surging out in layers like a tsunami!

[Lone Smoke in the Desert] versus [Boundless Abyss of the Sea]!

Helan Que, the Chief of Kuangsha Academy, and Chu Tiankuo, the Chief of Nanhai Academy—these two Peak Fourth-Order top geniuses—were currently locked in an inseparable battle, the collision of their blood energy and Supernatural Ability creating visible ripples in the air.

In the very center of their battlefield, on a broken otherworldly stele, a strange flower was growing silently, emitting a lustrous jade glow, surrounded by tiny vortices of spiritual energy.

A Tier 4 top-grade spiritual herb, the Jade Marrow Bone-Cleansing Flower!

This was a top-grade heavenly treasure that could allow a Tier 4 Martial Artist to be reborn and have a high probability of breaking through to a minor realm!

If placed in an auction house in the outside world, it would definitely be a hot item that could fetch an astronomical price.

For this Tier 4 spiritual herb, neither of these two team chiefs was willing to take a step back; they had exhausted all their trump cards, fighting until their brains were practically boiling.
