Faced with the immense pressure brought by Luo Hai, Wen Yu's mental state at this moment was beyond description.
Using the Netherworld for continuous teleportation, he tried to create distance between himself and Luo Hai, but this was merely a tactical measure akin to drinking poison to quench thirst— the stamina consumed by the Netherworld's teleportation was glaringly easy to compare to the stamina Luo Hai expended in pursuit on foot!
Moreover, with Luo Hai already in combat mode, he had no desire to waste time chatting with Wen Yu. Under Luo Hai's rapid attacks, Wen Yu didn't even have the time to open his Spatial Ring to take medicine!
The battle had barely begun, and Wen Yu's side was already plummeting into the abyss...
However, there was a solution.
The light of the Netherworld flashed as Wen Yu quickly teleported to another location. He saw Luo Hai rapidly crossing the battlefield where the child and Agu, as well as Tang Haofei and Zang were engaged in combat, closing in on him. Wen Yu had no time to react and teleported again!
The two instances of teleportation created a minuscule window of time; it wasn't long, but it was enough for Wen Yu to observe the battlefield situation briefly.
Wen Yu's chance for survival and victory lay hidden in this battlefield!
...
“Ha!”
The childish voice carried a shocking power.
The fierce sound wave attack caused Agu to stagger, and his brief duel with the child had already left him in a miserable state, even leaving him with slight injuries.
The true strength of Luo Hai's squad was actually inferior to that of the Wu Long Squad. Eight people were weaker than four, indicating a significant disparity in individual strength!
This wasn't merely because of Wu Long, who was an exceptionally strong combatant; every member of the Wu Long Squad possessed strength that looked down upon their peers of the same rank.
Even before the fight began, Agu knew he couldn't defeat the child, but the dignity and confidence in his own strength led Agu to believe that he had a chance to contend with the child—if he couldn't win, at least he could hold him back...
But therein lay the problem—he couldn't hold him back at all!
Looking at the small child about a meter ahead, swinging his delicate fists toward him, the roaring pressure of the wind and the suffocating force bore down on Agu. He had no time to react and was sent flying far away, landing on the ground in a headfirst position.
Under the heavy blow, Agu's body froze for a moment, while the child, having thrown that punch, was also momentarily halted by the reaction force.
Wen Yu, observing the two figures, disregarded Luo Hai, who was almost within reach, and activated the power of the Netherworld instantaneously.
“Whoosh~~”
Wen Yu and the child's positions exchanged in an instant. Luo Hai's powerful strike landed right on the child's head, driving him into the ground like a nail.
A simple logic—since Wen Yu couldn't defeat Luo Hai, he would switch opponents. Although Wen Yu was undoubtedly the weakest link on the battlefield, facing someone who was the second weakest was far better than confronting Luo Hai!
And the second weakest...
Was none other than Agu...
...
The method of swapping positions had drained the last bit of Wen Yu's stamina.
With a pale face, he collapsed on the spot, not caring about the surrounding situation, he instantly disengaged from battle mode and activated the fourth soul realm, summoning the Faceless.
He pulled out a large number of elixirs from his Spatial Ring, stuffing them into his mouth without even looking, while a small glass vial appeared in his palm.
Opening the vial, he quickly poured the crimson liquid onto the Faceless's body.
The doughy figure visibly swelled, and within a few seconds, the Faceless had transformed into the likeness of Tang Haofei—perfect replication activated.
With a bodyguard back by his side, Wen Yu felt slightly more at ease— the blood that had just poured onto the Faceless was gathered by Wen Yu, meaning that the Faceless's surface combat power was now not far from Tang Haofei's.
