At this moment, Wen Yu moved, and his speed was naturally extremely fast.
However, no matter how fast he was, he could not outpace Tang Haofei, who had already used the power balance against the sovereign!
One could see that the bullets from No Winter struck Tang Haofei but didn't even scratch Old Tang's oily skin. Old Tang merely paused slightly, forcefully counteracting the negative effects brought by the soul strike, and then he swung his heavy fist towards Wen Yu like a sudden storm!
Faced with the maddened Old Tang, Wen Yu had just turned around when he was smashed by a punch that shattered half of his body. The photosynthetic spirit pattern activated instantly, but as soon as Wen Yu's body began to recover, he was hit again and turned into a sieve…
After only taking two or three steps, Wen Yu had been ground down by Tang Haofei, who had erased thousands of photosynthetic spirit patterns!
Hmm, Bai's deduction was not too far off — with Tang Haofei's current power, the speed at which he consumed the photosynthetic spirit patterns was indeed faster than their recovery speed.
With the reserves of Wen Yu's photosynthetic spirit patterns, if he was trapped here, it would likely take less than ten years for him to find himself in a predicament where he had no photosynthetic spirit patterns left to use…
This was undoubtedly an extremely long time... However, it was undeniable that if Wen Yu had no way to escape, what Bai said about "killing you" could indeed become a reality.
…
Looking at Tang Haofei, who was like a furious beast ahead, Wen Yu caught a glimpse of Bai out of the corner of his eye, only to see Bai with his arms crossed, surrounded by glowing light that countered the bullets fired by Jidong and Kuange.
At this moment, Wen Yu shifted his thoughts and thankfully retracted his soul armament. Then, he deeply glanced at Bai and braced himself against Old Tang's attack, moving with a speed akin to carrying Mount Tai on his back, consuming hundreds of photosynthetic spirit patterns with each step, as he ran towards the entrance of the sovereign palace.
The difficulty of this process was unimaginable, but it was undeniable that Tang Haofei truly did not have the ability to instantly kill Wen Yu!
Even if his crazed attacks interfered with Wen Yu, Wen Yu still managed to run out of the sovereign palace with an unstoppable speed that seemed slow but was actually incredibly fast. Then, as his origin power surged around him, he shook off Tang Haofei for a short time, and in the next second, black light flickered, and Wen Yu instantly transformed into light and fled far away.
But even though Wen Yu had explosively unleashed a massive amount of origin power in an instant, Tang Haofei was only forced back a step. His figure paused slightly, stopping for less than half a second before chasing after Wen Yu.
As for Bai, he still stood beside the Heavenly Gifted Stone, watching the direction in which Wen Yu had disappeared, his eyes revealing a deep killing intent.
"Run! Where do you think you can run to?"
All of this — from inciting the spirit of the demon lord to negotiate with the sovereign, to the sovereign having murderous intentions towards Wen Yu, to Wen Yu using the soul balance against the sovereign, to the appearance of himself and Tang Haofei, to Tang Haofei using the soul balance against the sovereign…
These were all steps that Bai had calculated in advance.
Now, in this situation, Bai had already determined that Wen Yu could not possibly turn the tables on Tang Haofei. The only troublesome part was that dealing with Wen Yu might require a lot of time.
However, Bai could afford to wait — spending ten years or eight years to eliminate Wen Yu was definitely a worthwhile investment.
At this moment, the Sovereign Palace Cluster was practically a giant prison, and without the key, Wen Yu was destined to have no way to heaven and no door to earth, just as Bai said, "Run? Where can you run to?"
However, just three seconds later, Bai's expression suddenly changed. His figure vanished in an instant, and the next second, he had already appeared in the southeastern direction outside the sovereign palace.
