Chapter 196: The Powerful Perception-Type

The moment the cave completely plunged into darkness, chaos and panic spread wildly like a plague.

Screams, angry curses, the clanging of weapons colliding, and the roaring of rampaging energy beams intertwined into a doom-like symphony.

However, to Moria, this darkness, which was enough to swallow everything, was like a warm womb.

He was in his element.

Zhou Huai's consciousness locked onto Li Gang's position in the very first instant.

With a single shadow jump, Moria's figure silently appeared at Li Gang's feet.

"Take this chance and go to the upper corridor."

The cold voice rang directly in Li Gang's ear, concise and swift.

"There is a very small crescent moon mark below the earthen wall there. Smash that earthen wall, and you can get out."

"I'll only help you up to here; the rest is up to yourself."

Li Gang's body shook violently, and without the slightest hesitation, he nodded heavily.

"Thanks, brother! I'll treat you to a drink if there's a chance in the future!"

Before his voice faded, the ferocious giant spear in Li Gang's hand had already disappeared.

Replacing it were two black pistols with fierce designs, brimming with a cold, murderous aura.

He no longer hid himself; the whole person was like a waking leopard, rushing fiercely towards the location of the upper corridor in his memory within the pitch-black darkness.

"Over there! Someone is moving!"

In the darkness, the vigilant shout of a Radiant Alliance guard came.

Several tyrannical auras instantly locked onto Li Gang's position.

However, greeting them were two tongues of flame tearing through the darkness.

"Bang! Bang!"

The muffled gunshots were not very noticeable in the chaotic cave.

But those two spinning bullets seemed to have grown eyes, precisely drilling into the glabella of the two guards.

Without even having time to let out a scream, the two guards fell straight down.

Li Gang's footsteps did not pause in the slightest; his body traced a bizarre arc in the darkness, and every dodge, every pull of the trigger, inevitably accompanied the fall of a guard.

His marksmanship was precise, deadly, and filled with the iron-bloodedness and efficiency unique to soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, the last few guards leading to the corridor were all cleared out by him.

Li Gang's figure, like a ghost, successfully rushed into that narrow corridor.

"Someone entered the corridor! Go stop him quickly!"

In the cave, someone roared at the top of their lungs.

Suddenly, several auras belonging to Radiant Alliance powerhouses closely followed Li Gang, plunging headfirst into the dark corridor.

For a time, within the narrow corridor, colorful elemental lights flashed wildly, illuminating the entire passage and making it flicker alternately bright and dim.

The roaring of the pistol sounded one after another like the Grim Reaper's death talisman.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai stopped lingering.

His mission was already completed.

The Zhou Family and Liu Family powerhouses who were exploring the Secret Realm might return at any time.

He must leave this place of right and wrong immediately taking advantage of now.

However, he was ultimately a step too slow.

Just at the moment when Moria's figure had just sneaked to the entrance of the Secret Realm.

Several tyrannical figures had already stepped out from that thick fog.

At the lead were precisely Zhou Feng and Liu Ziang and their party.

Zhou Huai's pupils shrank abruptly.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

He didn't expect them to return so quickly!

Fortunately, the cave was in complete chaos at the moment, and everyone's attention was attracted by the battle in the cave; no one noticed that there was an uninvited guest in the shadows.

Looking at the dim and chaotic scene before him, along with the noisy and piercing shouts of killing in his ears, Zhou Feng's brow instantly knitted into a deep frown.

"What on earth is going on?!"

Beside him, the grey-robed elder who had been closing his eyes to rest with an imposing and unshakeable aura suddenly slowly opened his eyes.

In those seemingly turbid eyes, stars seemed to be revolving.

"Go solve that guy in the corridor first."

The elder's voice was flat, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"His strength is not bad, and he has the smell of the military on him. He is very likely a spy sent by the military; don't let him run away."

"Yes!"

As his voice fell, the two Rank 50-something powerhouses behind him did not hesitate in the least. Their figures flickered, turning into two streams of light, galloping towards the corridor direction.

Zhou Huai held his breath, his heart jumping to his throat.

He controlled Moria, crawling bit by bit like a snail towards the entrance of the Secret Realm.

However, just at the moment when he was about to successfully slip away.

That grey-robed elder suddenly let out a "Hmm?" sound, his brow slightly furrowed.

He lowered his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through layers of obstacles, landing on the patch of shadow beneath his feet.

"Wait a minute."

The elder's voice sounded again.

"Under our feet, there seems to be something else!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Zhou Huai secretly thought that things were bad in his heart.

This damn perception-type powerhouse was indeed outrageously sharp!

Matters having reached this point, covering things up any further no longer had any meaning.

Zhou Huai simply stopped hiding, controlling Moria's figure to suddenly accelerate. Like a black arrow leaving the string, it swept past everyone's feet and instantly rushed into the Secret Realm!

"Wanting to leave?"

Seeing this, that elder only sneered disdainfully.

"Since you've come, stay behind."

He turned around and said calmly to Liu Ziang.

"I'll go catch a cockroach, leave the matters here to you guys for now."

Liu Ziang nodded, without the slightest worry on his face, merely politely instructing a sentence.

"Old Fu, return early."

The elder referred to as Old Fu merely gave a faint "Hmm," and his figure had already disappeared in place.

The next second, he had already raised his foot and stepped into that endless thick fog.

…

Abyss of Mist.

Zhou Huai controlled Moria, pushing the speed of [Shadow Stealth] to the ultimate limit, frantically shuttling through the thick white fog that could not be melted away.

However, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

A sense of crisis like pins and needles on his back constantly and firmly locked onto him, following him like a shadow.

He could clearly perceive that terrifying powerhouse behind him was unhurriedly chasing after him.

Moreover, no matter how he changed direction or how he utilized shadow jumps, he was still unable to shake off the other party's lock-on.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Huai cursed inwardly.

Is this fucking powerful perception-type?

It's simply like a piece of dog-skin plaster stuck to one's body, impossible to shake off!

The other party was a Rank 60 powerhouse after all, and his Rank was more than double that of Moria.

Once caught up with, it would definitely be a dead end.

The only way now was to run!

Think of every possible way to shake the other party off!

However, Old Fu seemed to have no interest in playing this cat-and-mouse game.

High in the air, he stepped on the Void Realm, walking as if on flat ground. His turbid eyes calmly stared at the black shadow speeding through the shadows below.

The corners of his mouth hooked into a faint, almost non-existent arc.

The next second, his figure suddenly accelerated!

That speed was so fast that the naked eye simply couldn't capture it, even leaving a series of clear afterimages in the air!

Almost in an instant, he had already arrived directly above Moria!

"Hum——!"

Old Fu slowly opened his mouth, and a naked-eye-visible, ring-shaped transparent sound wave spread out from his mouth like ripples, shrouding towards that rapidly moving shadow below!

Zhou Huai's pupils shrank abruptly!

An unprecedented sense of fatal crisis instantly submerged him!

He didn't even have time to think more, subconsciously making a reaction.

On Moria's body, countless streams of pitch-black Devilish Qi surged crazily, quickly condensing on his back into a thick and ferocious black shield!

However, that shield condensed from Devilish Qi, the moment it contacted that transparent sound wave, crashed and shattered like a popped balloon without the slightest resistance!

The momentum of the sound wave did not diminish, fiercely bombarding Moria's body!

"Puff!"

Moria's body shook violently, and that flowing mass of shadow was actually blasted flying raw from the ground, tumbling in mid-air and spitting out a mouthful of pitch-black demonic blood.

[-9121]

An eye-catching, huge damage number slowly floated up from Moria's head.

Nearly fifteen thousand health points were directly knocked away by two-thirds under this single strike!

This was still under the condition of using the Devilish Qi shield to block it slightly.

If it had been a direct hit, Moria would probably have been killed instantly on the spot.

High in the air, looking at that mass of shadow below which had suffered heavy injuries but had not dissipated, Old Fu's turbid eyes revealed a trace of surprise for the first time.

He looked down with great interest at that shadow that had merged back into the ground, muttering to himself in a voice only he could hear.

"Oh?"

"Actually not dead?"

"It seems… a bit interesting."
