Chapter 323: They Actually Ran Away?

Fireballs were like a dense meteor shower, blotting out the sky as they descended!

Instead of attacking Gandalf, they precisely anticipated all possible advancement routes of Hou Yi and completely blocked them off!

In an instant, all directions around Hou Yi were completely enveloped by that scorching sea of fire!

There was nowhere left to retreat!

There was nowhere left to dodge!

However, facing this scene, which was enough to make anyone feel despair…

There was not a trace of panic on Hou Yi's calm, unfazed face.

The moment the fireballs fell, his smart core ai had already made the most perfect judgment.

"Void."

Two cold words slipped from his mouth.

The next second, Hou Yi's originally solid figure instantly turned illusory and transparent, resembling a phantom that could dissipate at any moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of scorching fireballs exploded around him with a deafening roar!

The destructive flame storm completely swallowed his location!

Yet that terrifying high temperature, enough to melt steel, failed to cause him even the slightest bit of harm as it passed through his illusory body.

Immediately after.

A tall and upright figure abruptly leapt out from that surging sea of fire!

The speed was extremely fast!

Zhou Huai judged the distance.

It was almost time.

It had already entered the optimal attack range of the Heaven-Suppressing Seal.

He immediately issued the final command to Hou Yi's smart core ai through his consciousness!

Use the Heaven-Suppressing Seal!

Amidst the ruins, Hou Yi's rapidly charging figure abruptly halted.

He slowly raised his right hand.

That small, archaic black seal hovered in his palm.

Just as he was about to furiously pour the energy within his body into it—

Below, the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent, which had just shattered the ice on its mouth, abruptly spat out a mouthful of black smoke!

Following closely behind, amidst a dense cloud of black smoke, its body, thick as a mountain range, rapidly sank toward the underground at an incomprehensible speed!

In a mere breath of time, it completely vanished from where it was!

As if it had never appeared at all.

Leaving behind only a bottomless giant pit and a scene of complete devastation.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon in the sky did the same.

The moment it saw Hou Yi take out the Heaven-Suppressing Seal.

Without the slightest hesitation, its massive dragon wings slammed down with a fierce flap, and its gigantic body abruptly soared upward!

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a small black dot at the horizon, fleeing frantically toward the distant skies without ever looking back!

That speed was several times faster than when it arrived!

This time, it was Zhou Huai's turn to be dumbfounded.

Hou Yi stood foolishly in place, holding the Heaven-Suppressing Seal that he hadn't yet managed to activate.

Never had he expected…

These two aggressive and overbearing Hell-level BOSSes…

As the kings among the alien beast army…

Actually…

Ran away just like that?

Gandalf was also suspended in mid-air, watching those two Hell-level BOSSes running faster than rabbits, momentarily not knowing how to react.

He had even prepared to sacrifice another Clone.

As a result, the opponents didn't give him the chance at all.

One burrowed into the ground and the other took to the skies, slipping away without a trace.

This gave him a stifled feeling, like punching a cotton ball with all his might after winding up a full-strength blow.

However, Zhou Huai quickly figured out the crucial point.

When all was said and done, the deterrent force of the Heaven-Suppressing Seal was simply too terrifying.

The fate of the Soul-Devouring Golden Feather Eagle was still vividly embedded in his mind.

That fellow was suppressed by twenty levels by a Divine Artifact, and then beaten to death by a group.

No matter who it was, seeing this ultimate lethal weapon appear once again, they would probably have to weigh their options carefully.

These two BOSSes had clearly learned their lesson.

If you can't beat them, run.

There's no shame in it at all.

This gave Zhou Huai a bit of a headache.

While the Heaven-Suppressing Seal was indeed powerful, as long as the opponent refused to engage in a head-on clash, the effectiveness of this Divine Artifact would be greatly discounted.

He couldn't possibly expect to find an opportunity to ambush them with it every single time.

It seemed that if he wanted to deal with these two slippery big guys, he would have to wait for Moria to resurrect at night.

Only Moria's elusive assassination methods would have a chance to launch a sneak attack before they could react.

Just as Zhou Huai was thinking this.

Above the distant horizon, a burning red dot appeared once again.

It was precisely that Purgatory Flame Dragon which had returned after leaving.

However, this time it had learned to be smart.

It no longer approached rashly, but instead hovered high in the sky a few kilometers away, its dragon eyes burning with raging flames firmly locking onto the direction of the East City Gate.

That posture looked remarkably like a vulture hovering above a corpse, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Zhou Huai sneered.

He manipulated Hou Yi and once again raised the Heaven-Suppressing Seal in his hand.

Sure enough.

The moment that Purgatory Flame Dragon saw the Heaven-Suppressing Seal, its massive dragon body stiffened abruptly, and without the slightest hesitation, it turned its head and ran away once more.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished once again at the edge of the horizon.

At this moment, Zhou Huai was so angry he wanted to laugh.

He thought to himself, "You're a Hell-level BOSS after all, how can you be such a coward?"

You don't have an ounce of dignity or Aura as a Hell-level BOSS.

Aren't you embarrassing all dragons?

Will you even have the face to meet other Dragons in the future?

By the time Hou Yi put away the Heaven-Suppressing Seal.

That Purgatory Flame Dragon flew back like a pug.

It continued to hover in the air maintaining a certain distance.

It seemed to be thinking of countermeasures as well.

Zhou Huai wasn't scared at all; anyway, he had the Heaven-Suppressing Seal in hand.

He immediately had Gandalf continue clearing out the alien beasts continuously pouring in from the breach.

At the same time, he manipulated Hou Yi to push his own perception capabilities to the absolute limit.

[Starry Sky Vision] activated.

Every subtle movement within a radius of several kilometers was clearly fed back into his mind.

However, he still hadn't found any trace of that Netherworld Giant Serpent.

It was as if it had truly left this battlefield completely.

Yet Zhou Huai felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

This giant serpent would definitely not leave this battlefield easily.

Just at this moment—

Rumbling—!!!

An explosive roar, far more violent than any previous one, came echoing from the direction of the West City Gate without any warning!

That sound was muffled yet tyrannical, as if the entire earth was being forcibly torn apart!

Zhou Huai's expression changed abruptly.

He finally understood where the unease in his heart was coming from.

It seemed that the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent was wary of the Heaven-Suppressing Seal in his hand, and had actually changed its strategy, deciding to prioritize attacking the West City Gate which had no powerhouses guarding it!
