Chapter 581 - 470: They’ve All Gone Mad: A Truly Faceless One

’Did something go missing?’

Li Tiannan shook his head.

’He remembered seeing a red, metallic object after the Blood Marshal’s body exploded, but how did it just disappear?’

’Forget it, I’ll look for it later!’

’After all, saving people is more important than finding things right now.’

"You brat, don’t run so fast! This is a battle between the Strongest!" Li Tiannan’s pride took a blow as he watched Gao Neng charge ahead even faster than him.

’I’m a dignified Strongest. How can I let a seventh-rank disciple charge ahead of me?’

’Have I no dignity?’

As soon as the words left his mouth,

Gao Neng came to a sudden halt.

"Okay, Master, you’re up!" After saying this, Gao Neng ran toward Gao Xiaomeng’s position without even a single glance back.

Li Tiannan was left utterly confused.

’What the hell?!’

Before he could think any further, Sword Elder, Qin Jianfei, and the others were already in retreat, fleeing rapidly toward his position.

"Elder Li, help us!"

"These foreign races... they’ve gone crazy!"

"..."

Sword Elder was truly suffering in silence.

Because the three Strongest of the foreign races had genuinely lost their minds.

And how could they not?

The Blood Marshal had been killed!

And not only was he killed, but his very soul had been devoured!

This was eternal damnation!

"I won’t rest until I’ve killed you and made you pay with your lives!" The Werewolf was truly enraged. Never before had he been so humiliated.

They had already rushed over.

And yet, they had still been forced to watch helplessly as one of the Strongest was killed.

’The humans dared to start the great war ahead of schedule.’

’Then a war it is!’

’The dignity of the foreign races will not be challenged.’

"I’ll leave these to you. I’m going after that Gao Neng!" The Snow Demon’s gaze was fixed on Gao Neng. The abilities Gao Neng had displayed today already put immense pressure on him.

"Alright!" The Snow Elf nodded.

The Snow Demon immediately rushed toward Gao Neng.

Li Tiannan, Sword Elder, and the others tried to intercept him, but it was too late. The Snow Demon was incredibly fast, and its Body Technique was exceptionally bizarre.

With just a few movements, it was already thirty meters behind Gao Neng.

Gao Neng jumped in fright.

"Another Strongest?! And a faceless one at that?" Gao Neng looked toward Gao Xiaomeng.

Gao Xiaomeng, meanwhile, had just finished devouring the last wisp of the Blood Marshal’s soul and was smacking her lips mid-air, savoring the aftertaste.

Her expression was one of pure satisfaction.

"It’s not even spicy, what are you so happy about?" Gao Neng shouted.

"Run!" Gao Xiaomeng glanced at Gao Neng, then plunged toward the ground, showing no intention of fighting the Snow Demon at all.

Gao Neng was dumbfounded.

’Aren’t you always super arrogant?’

’How come when you see this Snow Demon...’

’...you won’t fight?’

"Don’t look at its eyes!" Gao Xiaomeng shouted again.

"What?" Gao Neng subconsciously glanced back, just in time to see two eyes suddenly light up on the Snow Demon’s face.

’Two eyes suddenly appeared on its featureless face?’

The two eyes seemed to be peering out from within a cloud of mist...

It was incomparably eerie.

And what was even more eerie was...

...the instant his gaze met those two eyes, his entire body felt as if it had been bound by something.

He was completely immobilized.

’An Illusion Technique?! No, it’s not an Illusion Technique. I have the Four Symbols and the Cyan Dragon, so I can dispel it directly. I would never fall for an Illusion Technique. This isn’t an Illusion Technique!!!’ Gao Neng was horrified.

’It’s not an Illusion Technique.’

’Yet it rendered him completely immobile.’

’This is too bizarre.’

’And the main thing was, he had only glanced at the Snow Demon’s eyes.’

"Gao Neng, die!" After revealing its eyes, the Snow Demon wasted no more words, as if it were well-versed in the famous saying that villains die from talking too much.

So, it didn’t talk.

It went straight for a palm strike.

"BANG!"

A loud crash echoed.

The typical novel plot, where a Strongest suddenly gets a power-up and teleports in to save the day, didn’t happen.

Gao Xiaomeng didn’t come to his rescue either.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to.

Rather, her speed could never be faster than the Snow Demon’s palm strike.

It was a guaranteed hit.

Gao Neng couldn’t dodge it.

So, he could only save himself.

He used an eighth-rank genetic weapon to block the attack.

After all, while his body was immobilized, his Spiritual Power could still move.

"BOOM!"

The eighth-rank genetic weapon was smashed into the ground.

It shattered into pieces.

It was completely destroyed.

’It destroyed my eighth-rank genetic weapon with a single palm strike?!’ Gao Neng finally understood the true power of a Strongest from the foreign races.

In his fight with the Blood Marshal, he had never taken a direct palm strike.

He had mostly used Gao Xiaomeng as a meat shield.

’And now, that meat shield... had run away?!’

"Gao Xiaomeng, help me!"

"MEOW!!!"

A soul-shaking meow rang out.

The two glowing eyes on the Snow Demon’s face were suddenly and forcefully made to retract by the sound of that meow.

It was as if from sheer shock.

Gao Neng was utterly stunned by this turn of events.

But he had no time to stand there in shock, because as soon as the Snow Demon’s eyes retracted, his body was freed.

’Run!’ This was Gao Neng’s first thought.

’Do I need to be within five meters to control a Strongest with an Illusion Technique?’

’Without Gao Xiaomeng the meat shield to block for me...’

’...I don’t stand a chance.’

So, Gao Neng decisively followed Gao Xiaomeng’s escape route, plunging downward.

"Where do you think you’re going?!" The Snow Demon quickly recovered. Its two eyes lit up on its face again, locking its gaze firmly on Gao Neng.
