Void walking was effective, which was something expected—Guardians, after all, were just a type of prop. Although they had a central control core that could manage their movements, making them seem less mechanical, they were still just props. While one might have heard of invincible beings, there were no reports of invincible props.
Their innate limitations were too great, and their attributes were too extreme and singular, rendering these seemingly indomitable Guardians helpless against Wen Yu.
However, this time the Guardians had only three targets—Wen Yu, Faceless, and Bai. Once Wen Yu and Faceless activated void walking simultaneously, the unfortunate target became Bai.
The Guardians that were pursuing Wen Yu and Faceless lost their targets and rushed towards Bai, who was already powerless against the Guardians. In an instant, Bai found himself in deep trouble!
...
In the void, Wen Yu followed the trajectory of the Guardians and found Bai.
What came into view was a towering mountain of steel!
The entire mountain was made up of Guardians, overlapping and squeezing against each other, trembling incessantly as if a fierce beast was struggling beneath. However, as the Guardians piled higher, the mountain grew larger, and the struggle slowly diminished.
Human strength has its limits, yet the number of these Guardians seemed endless. Even though their attacks could not harm Bai in the slightest, the method of suppressing Bai was akin to how the Tathagata Buddha subdued Sun Wukong, rendering Bai utterly powerless.
Wen Yu stood not far from the massive mountain, watching Bai trapped beneath it. A glimmer of determination flickered in his eyes—he was waiting, waiting for Bai to come up with a solution.
Bai had many methods. Although at a glance, he seemed to be struggling against the current situation, he always managed to escape peril at critical moments—be it the immortal emperor puppet or the conceptual immortal body that had absorbed Ye Nan, both proved that Bai had long been prepared for crises. Wen Yu did not believe mere lifeless objects could truly restrain Bai.
However, waiting turned into nearly an hour...
During this time, Bai's mental fluctuations continuously reached Wen Yu's ears, with pleas like "Save me" and "Think of a way," which made Wen Yu's ears feel calloused. Yet, Wen Yu merely responded casually, saying he was working on a solution, while in reality, he was quietly observing Bai from nearby until an hour passed and Bai's struggles weakened—he was exhausted...
At this moment, Wen Yu finally spoke.
"I found a method... I almost forgot I have a skill called void walking... Wait for me, I'll first find their source. Once I resolve them, you can act."
There was a sense of sudden realization in his tone, and Wen Yu played his part convincingly.
"Okay..."
Bai's voice came from beneath the mountain, somewhat muffled and weak but devoid of pain. Upon hearing this, Wen Yu immediately turned to leave.
Wen Yu was not worried about Bai's safety—there were only Guardians here, and their characteristics were sufficient to annihilate all enemies. Bai, possessing an immortal body, could not be harmed or killed by the Guardians. In other words, even if Wen Yu took ten or eight years, the only thing Bai would suffer from would be starvation or dehydration, but he could not be killed.
However, the current focus was not on the Guardians... Though they were indeed a roadblock, they were like a tiger without claws and fangs. Wen Yu was even thinking about the treasures like tiger whips and bones. From the first attack of the Guardians, Wen Yu understood their attributes. Since Bai had absorbed Ye Nan's conceptual immortal body, the two had never regarded the Guardians seriously. Now, what Wen Yu was cautious of was Bai himself!
This was not due to any negative thoughts about Bai; it was merely a self-preservation instinct—having been used and harmed too many times, Wen Yu had long since developed the habit of holding back when facing cunning individuals.
