Chapter 784 Fleeing Without a Fight!
A deafening roar followed.
The entire ancient cave suddenly trembled.
The fire lotus exploded, transforming into a raging sea of fire that engulfed the entire space.
The magic arrays flickered violently in the flames, then shattered one after another.
The demigod medicines, holy liquids, and spiritual materials piled up around the Enlightenment Platform were instantly reduced to ashes in the sea of fire.
Only that drop of blood remained unharmed, protected by the crystal.
Di Chong opened his eyes the instant the fire lotus exploded, his eyes filled with terror and rage.
He tried to get up, but found himself engulfed in flames.
Finally, he was blasted away and crashed heavily into the stone wall.
"Who dares to disturb me while I am in the midst of enlightenment?"
Di Chong roared as he stood up, his voice filled with murderous intent.
Shi Hao did not answer. He flashed and rushed into the sea of fire, grabbing at the drop of blood without hesitation.
He moved at incredible speed, weaving through the gaps in the flames, and finally managed to grab the crystal.
Just as he grasped the crystal, a powerful force suddenly surged forth from it.
"Such powerful strength..."
Shi Hao was shocked.
He stored the crystal block in his cave, then turned to look at the disheveled Di Chong.
"Huang, it's you? You're asking for death..."
Di Chong's roar echoed in the sea of fire, but in addition to anger, his voice also carried a trace of fear that was hard to conceal.
But that's normal.
He had just been abruptly interrupted from a deep state of enlightenment. The immortal runes he had painstakingly studied were now like a disturbed swarm of bees, swarming wildly within his body, causing his aura to fluctuate wildly and become extremely unstable.
Because of Shi Hao's sneak attack, everything he had done before had been in vain.
"Yes, it's me. Weren't you offering a bounty on me? Now I've come to find you!"
Shi Hao stepped out of the sea of fire, exuding an undeniable killing intent.
The next second, he flashed again and appeared directly in front of Di Chong, throwing a punch.
"--boom!!!"
He infused this punch with the power of the True Dragon Treasure Technique. A golden dragon-shaped phantom flew out from his fist, transforming into a deafening dragon roar, and smashed straight towards Di Chong's chest.
Di Chong hastily raised his hand to block, but half of his body had been blasted apart by the fire lotus, his immortal blood was turbulent, and his spiritual power was not flowing smoothly, so he could not exert his full strength at all.
The dragon-shaped phantom slammed into his arm, causing it to twist and deform instantly. He was sent flying backward again, crashing heavily into the stone wall behind him.
"--ah!!!"
Di Chong let out a painful scream.
His immortal blood was still surging within him, constantly emitting a dazzling red glow.
Upon seeing this, Shi Hao finally understood.
It turns out that the drop of blood just now was not real dragon blood, but a drop of immortal blood.
The other party wanted to use the residual immortal energy within this drop of immortal blood to condense their own immortal energy.
Unfortunately, although the drop of immortal blood whose killing intent had been neutralized by the ancient ancestor of the Immortal Palace was powerful, it was still not something that a deity could completely suppress before it was fully comprehended.
To make matters worse, Di Chong was forcibly interfered with by Shi Hao while in the Enlightenment Realm. The power in his Immortal Blood went out of control and began to erode his body, making his situation even more dire.
Shi Hao stood in the sea of fire, looking at Di Chong's miserable state, his gaze still as cold as ice.
He didn't think his sneak attack was shameful.
Di Chong tried to kill him many times and even offered a reward to enslave him.
Such cruel people deserve to be killed.
"Di Chong, you never thought you'd end up like this, did you?"
Amidst the sea of fire, Shi Hao spoke to Di Chong in a mocking tone: "Didn't you want to offer a bounty for my capture? Didn't you want to enslave me? Now I'm standing right in front of you, so come and kill me."
Di Chong struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. He desperately wanted to kill Shi Hao with his own hands here, but his injuries were too severe. Half of his body was almost useless, and his immortal blood was still surging within him, making it difficult for him to even stand. If this continued, he feared he would truly die here today.
"Huang, don't be so smug! My Immortal Palace will not let you get away with this!"
Di Chong said through gritted teeth.
Shi Hao sneered.
He didn't speak, but instead gripped the Void Halberd tightly again and charged towards the Emperor.
Di Chong's pupils contracted, and without any hesitation, he turned around and slapped the stone wall behind him with his palm.
"—Whoa!!!"
next moment.
The runes on the stone wall lit up, and a spatial rift appeared out of thin air.
Without hesitation, Di Chong plunged inside, his figure disappearing into the crack.
However, before leaving, he turned back to look at Shi Hao: "You wait, I will be back in two hours and kill you all..."
The crack closed, and Di Chong's aura completely disappeared.
Shi Hao remained suspended in mid-air, his Void Halberd still in the thrusting position.
Looking at the closed spatial rift, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but more so a chill.
"Two hours? Fine, I'll wait for you..."
Shi Hao sheathed his halberd and turned to look at the treasures that were still burning.
Most of the demigod medicines, holy elixirs, and spiritual materials had already turned to ashes, with only the drop of immortal blood remaining unharmed under the protection of the crystal block.
He reached out and touched the crystal block in his arms, feeling the powerful energy contained within it, and his heart couldn't help but be excited.
Although Di Chong wasn't a very good person, he really did send him a lot of treasures this time.
"elder brother……"
At this moment, Qin Hao and the witch also flew over from nearby.
After landing, Qin Hao glanced at the now-closed crack, then turned to Shi Hao and asked, "Brother, did Di Chong escape?"
Shi Hao nodded: "He ran away, but he said he would be back in two hours."
The witch said thoughtfully, "His words may not be credible. He is currently seriously injured, and his immortal blood is out of control. He won't be able to recover in two hours. What he said is probably just a bluff to scare us."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao shook his head: "Regardless of whether he is bluffing or not, we need to be prepared to leave here and find a safe place to rest."
……
at the same time.
In front of the stone tablet outside.
The leaders of the various factions were all dumbfounded when they saw Di Chong fleeing in such a sorry state.
"Di Chong... he actually escaped?"
"This guy is a successor of the Immortal Palace, and his main and secondary bodies have already merged, making him far stronger than before. Yet he was defeated and forced to flee by Shi Hao?"
"Let him run away if he wants, but he even abandoned the Enlightenment Platform and those treasures. If word gets out, where will the Immortal Palace put its face?"
"Hmph~, who would have thought that Shi Hao would be so despicable, actually choosing to launch a sneak attack when someone is in seclusion to comprehend the Dao..."
"Don't jump to conclusions, everyone. Di Chong said he'll be back in two hours. He might still have some room to maneuver..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Everyone was very surprised by Di Chong's retreat without a fight.
However, many people are criticizing Shi Hao for lacking martial ethics.
The fact that the other party broke through the formation and launched a sneak attack while the emperor was in seclusion to comprehend the Dao is a shameful act.
It's understandable that Di Chong was seriously injured after being ambushed and had to flee in a sorry state.
