Chapter 503: Repeatedly testing the edge of death

Just as Liang Yu hesitated, unsure whether he should decisively pull Hui Nian and quickly leave this dangerous place, Hui Nian, as if completely unaware of the surrounding danger, lightly walked towards the location of a still-living Survivor with Golden Body Chan Master.

Liang Yu’s eyes widened as he watched Hui Nian approach the Survivor step by step, a sense of worry welling up in his heart.

He didn’t know why Hui Nian was so bold; did he not notice the abnormality around him? Or was it that he wasn’t afraid of these potential dangers at all?

However, Hui Nian seemed unaware of Liang Yu’s concern; his attention was entirely focused on the Survivor.

Just as he slowly walked in front of the Survivor, Liang Yu’s gaze was suddenly drawn to the Golden Body Chan Master behind him.

The Golden Body Chan Master’s previously closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately after, the Golden Body Chan Master’s body moved slightly, and a thick arm slowly extended.

That arm was like forged steel, shimmering with a chilling light that made one’s heart palpitate.

When this arm was fully extended, its palm rapidly transformed, turning into a sharp hand blade in the blink of an eye.

The edge of this hand blade was incredibly sharp, as if it could easily cut through everything in the world.

The Golden Body Chan Master’s movements had no pause; he held the hand blade and gestured towards the Survivor, who was tightly wrapped and entangled by branches inside.

This seemingly casual gesture contained endless power and killing intent.

At this instant, time seemed to freeze. Liang Yu’s eyes widened, staring intently at the Survivor, a strong sense of unease welling up in his heart.

However, the next moment, a shocking scene occurred. The branches that enveloped the Survivor seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, instantly shattering into pieces.

Fragments of branches flew everywhere, as if a green storm swept through.

And at the center of this storm, the Survivor finally regained his freedom; his body suddenly tilted forward and fell heavily to the ground.

What surprised Liang Yu was that after rescuing that person, Hui Nian did not immediately approach to help him up, unlike most people.

Instead, after ensuring the person’s safety, Hui Nian retreated a few steps, maintaining a certain distance from the rescued person.

His gaze remained on that person, seemingly observing the other party’s reaction.

The person rescued by Hui Nian was currently in a coma and had not woken up, presumably still lost in the illusion.

From Hui Nian’s actions, it could be seen that he was not a reckless person, but such an action conflicted somewhat with his previous rash rescue.

Ever since Hui Nian rescued the person, Liang Yu had maintained a high degree of vigilance in his heart.

He knew that the elusive Witch God could appear at any time, bringing him unexpected threats.

To cope with this potential danger, Liang Yu exerted his Emperor Magnetic Field to its fullest.

This powerful magnetic field enveloped a five-hundred-meter radius around him, forming an invisible protective net.

Within this five-hundred-meter range, even the slightest rustle of leaves could not escape Liang Yu’s keen perception.

He could clearly detect every subtle change, and any abnormal aura could trigger his alertness.

This comprehensive defense made Liang Yu feel much more at ease, but he also understood that the Witch God’s strength was unfathomable, and he absolutely could not relax in the slightest.

What was surprising was that two or three minutes had passed, yet the Witch God showed no reaction to Hui Nian’s rescue, as if completely unaware of this situation.

This was completely inconsistent with Liang Yu’s expectations, causing him to feel suspicious, thinking that there seemed to be something unusual about it.

With the help of the Emperor Magnetic Field, Liang Yu was like a precise radar, quickly locating the City Lord Shangguan Ye.

He unhesitatingly made a clear mark in his mind for that place, a mark that was like a flash of lightning, tearing through the dark night sky.

Hui Nian sensed the movement here, and when he saw Liang Yu make that mark, his eyes instantly lit up.

He immediately understood Liang Yu’s intention and what he needed to do at that moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hui Nian, enveloped by Golden Body Chan Master, rushed towards the marked place like an arrow released from a bowstring.

His steps were light and agile, as if wind was beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he reached his destination.

Upon arriving, Hui Nian unhesitatingly unleashed his previous hand blade strike, rescuing the people there from their predicament.

His movements were fluid and seamless, without any hesitation.

Unlike the previous person, Shangguan Ye’s consciousness was very clear after being successfully rescued; he was not in a comatose or semi-comatose state like the previous person.

However, although Shangguan Ye’s mind was very clear, his mental state at this moment was not ideal.

His face was ashen, bloodless, and his eyes appeared somewhat hollow and confused, as if he had lost the ability to perceive and react to his surroundings.

He had personally witnessed all the people in the city die before his eyes: the city’s common folk, his city defense army, his dark guards.

Everyone died before his eyes; the scene was like a nightmare that he couldn’t escape.

Those people were wrapped in tree branches and vines, their lives vanishing in an instant, and he could only watch it all happen, powerless.

However, this was not the most terrifying thing.

In the illusion, Shangguan Ye experienced separation again and again, each time so real, so unforgettable.

He watched his relatives and friends leave him, feeling an unspeakable pain and loss.

Each separation was like a sharp sword, piercing his heart, making him wish he were dead.

He wanted to grasp them, wanted to keep them, but it was always in vain.

Liang Yu also noticed the other party’s condition and could only shake his head helplessly; he couldn’t save them in this situation.

As he was about to mark the next location, he sensed Shangguan Ye move.

Shangguan Ye’s speed was as fast as lightning; Liang Yu didn’t even have time to react before he had already rushed out like a strong gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye, Shangguan Ye, like an arrow released from a bowstring, sped straight towards the Giant Tree.

In his Phantom Kirin Armament state, Shangguan Ye exuded a powerful aura, and his red figure seemed to carry a faint black glow.

His figure was like a ghost, quickly moving through the branches and leaves of the Giant Tree as if on level ground.

Finally, Shangguan Ye arrived at the roots of the Giant Tree, where the Giant Tree was thickest and where it was supported.

Shangguan Ye stood on the roots, looking at the Giant Tree before him. A strange light flickered in his ferocious eyes.
