617: Chapter 666: Trying to drag me down with him?!

An Ke was able to connect to Kuku in the real world.

How could he not know that the demigods would come?

Secondly, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could shake a demigod right now.

Nor did he place his bets on the Level 70+ contestants.

Even though there were many Level 70+ contestants,

They were completely insignificant before a demigod.

Ai Li's previous words had given An Ke inspiration.

Although Saints cannot contend with demigods, they can escape from their hands.

Therefore, An Ke placed his bets on the first few Saints who fled.

Like Ai Li, they would carry "fungus" clones and escape to other domain city prefectures; that way, An Ke would have a lot of room to maneuver.

The only pity was that the demigods had intercepted all the "cores" at the scene.

Otherwise, An Ke could have used this wave to upgrade his own "Natural Affinity."

Outside Ascension Peak, the 88th Realm City Prefecture and the edges of the dividing line were all suppressed.

Three demigods were responsible for guarding them.

Next, An Ke's layout focused on the Saints heading to other domain city prefectures, as well as on Ai Li, who was frantically rushing toward the 99th Realm City Prefecture.

Speaking of which...

An Ke was thinking about one thing: should he enter Ascension Peak first?

The Unknown Existence controlling Azure was right inside Ascension Peak.

If he went in, would he encounter the other party directly?

If he did, with An Ke's current strength, he definitely couldn't win.

As for escaping, An Ke couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success.

The methods of god-level existences are incredibly strange and unpredictable.

What if the other party could follow the connection of the clone and descend directly in front of him?

Or perhaps they could turn a clone into his true body.

These things sounded absurd, but they weren't impossible.

After all, the other party wielded two authorities.

Meanwhile, on Ai Li's side.

The aura of a demigod kept coming, and Ai Li was running incredibly fast.

"Shit, shit, shit!!"

Ai Li's heart was thumping wildly, and he roared frantically to bolster his courage.

"An Ke, is it really okay for you to just let me do all the work alone?"

Although no one was around him, Ai Li was convinced that An Ke was on him.

He just couldn't detect the other's specific location.

However, Ai Li received no answer.

He was still the only one fleeing frantically.

Just then, a giant hand made of darkness reached out from behind.

Clearly, it had been very far away just a moment ago, but it arrived behind Ai Li in an instant.

"Damn it..."

Ai Li was scared out of his wits.

Facing the giant dark hand that seemed to cover heaven and earth, he shouted and erupted with his source energy.

A large net covered in thorns appeared behind him.

Ai Li intended to use this net to block the giant hand.

Pity the net was broken through instantly, failing to hinder it for even a fraction of a second.

At this moment, Ai Li's heart was filled with despair.

He began to regret it.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have bothered with An Ke. Would he have ended up in such a state?

That guy was fine, just staying on him without showing up, not even saying a word.

Is he even human?

Ai Li even thought that An Ke might not be on him at all.

Everything he did was just to use himself to lure the demigod away.

If that were true, Ai Li swore that once this was over and the favor was repaid,

He would kill An Ke without hesitation.

This was going too far.

Seeing the giant hand about to cover him, Ai Li intended to surrender immediately.

As long as he surrendered, he figured the demigod wouldn't kill him.

But just then, An Ke's voice rang out: "Go underground."

"An Ke?!"

Ai Li recognized An Ke's voice and immediately became indignant.

"You finally decided to speak?"

"I'm about to be caught by a demigod."

As for An Ke's suggestion to go underground, he ignored it.

What use was going underground?

"If you want to live, get underground quickly," An Ke spoke again.

"Don't think a demigod won't kill you."

"Once you're caught, you're dead for sure."

"They even plan to kill Xiao."

Hearing this, Ai Li's heart was jolted.

The demigods plan to kill Xiao?

For real?

"Xiao is a demigod; how could the other demigods kill him?"

Ai Li spoke in a low voice; he thought it was impossible.

Even if Demigod Xiao had truly reached his limit, the other demigods wouldn't dare provoke him easily.

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

If Xiao really fought for his life, taking one demigod down with him would be no problem.

"Heh, if you don't believe it, then you can just try it," An Ke responded casually.

"Anyway, if the demigod really kills you, I won't die."

"..." Ai Li fell silent.

He really didn't dare to gamble; what if An Ke was telling the truth?

But could burrowing into the ground really evade a demigod?

Ai Li didn't believe it.

While he was thinking, the pressure from behind approached, setting off alarm bells in Ai Li's heart.

He couldn't afford to think more.

He immediately followed An Ke's words and dove underground.

Treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

There was no turning back now.

Ai Li's figure retreated rapidly.

But the giant hand behind him had already grabbed down, clutching him in its palm.

"Hmm?"

However, at this moment, a sound of confusion came from the void.

The giant black hand in the void opened, and its palm was empty.

But from the demigod's perspective, an invisible thread could be seen.

Ai Li had escaped.

This grab had actually missed.

In the distance, Ai Li's joyful voice rang out.

"Haha!"

"How about that, An Ke?"

"Am I amazing?"

"I can escape from a demigod at the last second!"

An Ke chuckled, "Hurry up and go, stop showing off!"

At this point, Ai Li was in a state of excitement after an adrenaline surge.

Ai Li gave a low laugh; he felt this was something he could brag about for a lifetime.

No longer hesitating, he immediately plunged into the earth.

For a Saint, burrowing into the ground was simply too easy.

At this moment, the fastest demigod descended to this location.

He stood in the void, looking at the ground.

In his eyes, he could see Ai Li underground.

"Trivial tricks, yet you dare to show them off!"

The demigod looked disdainful.

He raised his hand slightly and then pressed down.

Instantly, a dull thud came from the ground, which sank several thousand meters.

The surrounding hundred miles were compacted by this pressure.

Ai Li, who was frantically burrowing to escape, only felt the ground around him become incredibly hard.

He felt as if he were encased in some kind of hard substance, unable to move at all.

It felt like being sealed in cement.

"An Ke, look at the method you thought of; we're finished now..."

Even though Ai Li was a Saint, he couldn't shake the ground now.

"Don't be in a hurry!"

An Ke laughed.

In the next second, the earth surged like water.

Although An Ke couldn't affect the area suppressed by the demigod, he could influence the earth elements in other areas.

Then he moved the ground that had frozen them to another location.

Above the firmament, the demigod was very surprised to see this.

"He can even command the earth!?"

Meanwhile, at the 99th Realm City Prefecture.

Xiao watched An Ke approaching from a distance, and his lips twitched: "Is this guy planning to drag me down too?"
