Chapter 2298: Chapter 2298: A Face-to-Face Encounter!

Inside his own Dantian.

The golden Nascent Soul is sitting cross-legged.

In front of the Nascent Soul is a miniature version of the Demon Blade.

Above the Nascent Soul is a small Fire Bird.

This Fire Bird is precisely the Divine Soul Firebird that Zhou Yu painstakingly nurtured.

At this moment, the Divine Soul Firebird is inhaling and exhaling a strand of True Fire.

This strand of True Fire was refined from the True Fire of Quanwu on those Demon Beasts.

After this period of tempering, that strand of True Fire of Quanwu is almost completely refined by the Divine Soul Firebird.

The True Fire of Quanwu is ultimately a Divine Beast Level True Fire.

Once refined, his Divine Soul Firebird will inevitably strengthen further.

Of course, what excites Zhou Yu even more is that the Divine Soul Firebird now possesses considerable Spiritual Wisdom and can independently refine beneficial True Fires.

This is the rarest trait.

The potential growth of the Divine Soul Firebird under such conditions is beyond Zhou Yu’s estimation.

About a day later, Yu Ruo had mostly recovered.

The two once again soared into the sky, heading towards the outskirts.

Soon, the two arrived at the outskirts of the Flying Waterfall Area.

From here, it’s only two to three days’ journey to the exit.

However, just as the two left the Flying Waterfall Area, Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo suddenly halted.

Zhou Yu’s face was dark as he looked ahead.

At a distance of about ten miles ahead of him, hundreds or even thousands of Demon Beasts appeared.

All these Demon Beasts are High Rank Demon Beasts.

Moreover, in front of this group of High Rank Demon Beasts, there is a humanoid Demon Beast with a head full of silver branches and a fierce face.

These Demon Beasts are confronting another figure.

That figure is the ghost-named man who had just separated from Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo in the Wind Qilin Cave.

The appearance of Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo immediately caught the attention of both sides.

The ghost-named man, upon seeing Zhou Yu, showed a look of delight on his originally gloomy face.

After leaving the Wind Qilin Cave, the ghost-named man had rushed towards the outskirts, aiming to leave the Black Gold Canyon as quickly as possible.

But he unexpectedly ran into this group of High Rank Demon Beasts head-on.

If the other side consisted of just three or five Demon Beasts, the ghost-named man wouldn’t have cared.

However, the other side had hundreds of Demon Beasts, and the leader’s strength was unfathomable; he had no confidence in confronting this Demon Beast.

In such a scenario, he was plunged into crisis.

But at this moment, Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo coincidentally arrived here.

In this manner, they could help share some of the pressure, greatly increasing his escape chances.

However, simultaneously, the Demon Beast with a head full of silver branches, upon seeing Zhou Yu, displayed icy killing intent in its eyes.

"It’s you?"

"You’re the one who killed the master’s direct lineage bloodline!"

"I was planning to find you, but unexpectedly, you came to me."

"How convenient, once I kill you, I can use your head to report to my master."

This Demon Beast is the confidant of Red-eyed Tai Sui, Wu Sheng.

"Capture him for me."

With Wu Sheng’s command.

In an instant, more than ten High Rank Demon Beasts surged toward Zhou Yu.

These Demon Beasts roared loudly, simultaneously, they invoked various Divine Skills.

In no time, a massive storm of various colors emerged in the sky in front of Zhou Yu.

Charging at the forefront were several insect-like Demon Beasts with large black wings.

Facing this frenzied assault, Zhou Yu’s expression became grave.

There are too many enemies; once surrounded, he would inevitably be worn down to death.

Thus, Zhou Yu decisively made a decision.

Escape.

Zhou Yu immediately said to Yu Ruo:

"Their target is me, we’ll split up."

"Meet outside."

After speaking, Zhou Yu’s figure flickered and he flew swiftly towards the left side of the Flying Waterfall Area.

While Yu Ruo hurriedly flew to the right.

As for the ghost-named man, he hadn’t expected the target of these Demon Beasts to be Zhou Yu.

In this way, he naturally had no reason to stay.

Seeing Yu Ruo flying away to the right, he sneered and also flew to the right.

In a blink, the three disappeared into the distance.

Seeing the three split up, Wu Sheng coldly shouted.

Immediately, the Demon Beasts behind him split into three groups, respectively chasing after the three.

Of course, most of the force was concentrated on Zhou Yu.

Only a small portion of Demon Beasts pursued the ghost-named man and Yu Ruo.

Zhou Yu surged forward hundreds of miles in an instant.

He glanced back.

Three Demon Beasts behind him were remarkably fast, barely slower than him.

And further in the rear, a large number of Demon Beasts were still pursuing.

Cold light flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

If it were just these three Demon Beasts, he was confident he could kill them all in a short time.

However, if he stopped now, he would inevitably lose time, and the Demon Beasts behind would catch up, resulting in the same outcome—he’d be surrounded.

Thus, although Zhou Yu’s killing intent surged, he was not impulsive.

He waved his hand, and a banner flashing with Thunder Light appeared in his grasp.

It was the Thunder Banner.

Zhou Yu activated the Thunder Banner, and the next moment, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, his speed suddenly increasing severalfold, streaking across the void.

In the blink of an eye, he left all Demon Beasts far behind.

Witnessing this scene in pursuit, Wu Sheng’s face turned extremely ugly.

If Zhou Yu escaped right under his nose, his master, Red-eyed Tai Sui, would definitely not spare him.

Thus, Wu Sheng let out a low roar.

In the next moment, a ray of light appeared from his mouth.

The ray contained a tattered mirror.

Once the mirror appeared, Wu Sheng immediately grabbed it, and two Demon Beasts next to him screamed miserably, instantly killed by Wu Sheng.

Subsequently, Wu Sheng seized their inner cores and inserted them into the mirror.

In an instant, the tattered mirror emitted a dazzling light.

Then, Wu Sheng operated the mirror, which immediately enveloped him and a large group of Demon Beasts, speeding them up several times.

With tremendous speed, they chased after Zhou Yu.

Though still slightly slower than Zhou Yu, it wasn’t by much.

More critically, this Magic Treasure could continuously emit such accelerating light merely by consuming inner cores.

While Zhou Yu clearly relied on his Primordial Power to activate his Treasure.

In comparison, Zhou Yu would clearly face higher depletion.

Thus, as time goes on, Zhou Yu’s consumption would greatly increase, and his speed would inevitably slow down.

At that point, it would be his moment of death.

Wu Sheng’s eyes glinted with ferocity, and every so often, he would kill two nearby Demon Beasts, persisting in his pursuit...
