Chapter 2304: Pursued to the Death

Chapter 2304: Chapter 2304: Pursued to the Death

Upon witnessing the startling scene, Zhou Yu’s expression changed.

Without a word, he reached out with his hand and swiftly reclaimed the Titan Black Mountain and the Divine Soul Firebird.

Simultaneously, the Thunder Banner appeared instantly behind him.

Immediately after, Zhou Yu activated the Thunder Banner, transforming into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the distant horizon.

In merely the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu’s figure vanished into the horizon.

Only then did Elder Yan and the woman react.

They stared at Zhou Yu’s departing figure, their eyes filled with struggle, despite their intense desire for the Cannibal Immortal.

However, Zhou Yu’s power was terrifying.

The three of them together couldn’t manage to touch him.

Anyone pursuing Zhou Yu alone was akin to seeking death.

Elder Yan’s face showed a trace of reluctance, then with a wave of his hand, a shuttle-shaped treasure appeared instantly before him.

Next, Elder Yan activated a spell and instantly entered the shuttle-shaped treasure.

Thereafter, the shuttle-shaped treasure, at a rapid speed, shot towards a different direction on the horizon.

This speed was barely any slower than Zhou Yu’s lightning transformation.

After Elder Yan left, approximately a minute later.

The massive black clouds finally reached the woman’s location.

Hundreds of demon beasts densely packed the sky.

Then, a giant Gold-devouring Rat appeared before the woman.

"Xue Ying, is that you?"

"Did you obtain the Cannibal Immortal?"

The woman referred to as Xue Ying shook her head.

"Master Rat, you should be able to sense it, there is no Cannibal Immortal aura on me."

"The Cannibal Immortal was snatched away by a young human."

Upon hearing this, the Gold-devouring Rat furrowed its brows, then glanced at Xue Ying.

"Indeed, there is no Cannibal Immortal aura."

"Which direction did the youngster who took the Cannibal Immortal go?"

Xue Ying immediately pointed towards the direction Zhou Yu had left.

The Gold-devouring Rat snorted coldly, its tone warning, looking at Xue Ying, said:

"Xue Ying, if you dare deceive me, you know the consequences very well."

Before Xue Ying could speak, a giant Demon Lizard beside her said:

"Enough, stop wasting time here, quickly pursue and kill that youngster."

"Once I kill that youngster, if you don’t provide the Extreme Yin Water Spirit as promised, don’t blame me for turning hostile."

Upon hearing this, the Gold-devouring Rat sneered.

"Demon Lizard, don’t use such a tone when speaking to me."

"I’ve promised and will naturally keep my word."

"If you dare use that tone again, I won’t hesitate to knock you back to the Integration Realm."

The Demon Lizard’s eyes suddenly flashed with fierce light.

"Really?"

"Alright, let’s see you try."

The Demon Lizard didn’t fear the Gold-devouring Rat in the slightest.

The Gold-devouring Rat’s eye twitched, then snorted coldly:

"Forget it, no time to bicker with you now; rest assured, once we recover the Cannibal Immortal, I’ll fulfill what I promised."

"Now, let’s split up and search. This is your territory; you should be familiar with it. Let’s intercept him so he can’t escape."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lizard sneered.

"Fine."

With that, the Demon Lizard transformed into a mass of black light, heading in another direction.

The Gold-devouring Rat, however, pursued earnestly in Zhou Yu’s direction.

Soon, only Xue Ying was left.

Gazing at the departing Demon Lizard, Xue Ying said to herself:

"I never expected the Demon Lizard would progress to the Integration Realm."

"This matter must be reported to the master swiftly."

After speaking, Xue Ying immediately flew rapidly towards the depths of Black Gold Canyon.

...

Tens of thousands of miles away.

At this moment, Zhou Yu still activated the Thunder Banner, sprinting furiously.

Yet, at the horizon behind him, he already saw a mass of black cloud chasing rapidly.

Zhou Yu glanced back, his eyes flickering with thought.

Activating the Thunder Banner was fast, comparable to Integration Realm experts, but the consumption of Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was too great.

The black cloud chasing him clearly had the speed of an Integration Realm expert.

Thus, continuing this chase, he’d be caught eventually.

Running couldn’t be endless.

A place must be found to completely resolve the trouble behind.

However, he estimated, the distance from where he took the Cannibal Immortal was only tens of thousands of miles.

This distance easily posed threats from others.

Especially the woman and Elder Yan.

They might be unwilling to let the Cannibal Immortal be taken and could gather other experts to launch a Return Horse Spear attack.

So, he must fly further and then stop to deal with the trouble behind.

With this thought, Zhou Yu again exerted his full strength to activate the Thunder Banner, flying tens of thousands of miles in merely hours.

Now, he completely lost sense of his position in Black Gold Canyon.

But, Zhou Yu couldn’t be bothered.

Upon arriving, Zhou Yu immediately halted, then with the remaining Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, quickly set up a Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array.

Shortly after Zhou Yu arranged the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array, the massive black cloud came rolling.

Zhou Yu immediately used the Eye of Destruction to see, spotting a giant Gold-devouring Rat.

Though just one demon beast, the Gold-devouring Rat’s aura was immensely powerful.

It had reached Integration Realm Early Stage.

Moreover, its body surface glowed with a faint golden light.

As the golden light flickered, ancient runes appeared.

This indicated without exception that the Gold-devouring Rat possessed extremely mighty bloodlines.

Even if not at the divine beast level, it was close.

The Gold-devouring Rat coldly stared at Zhou Yu.

"So you’re the one who took the Cannibal Immortal."

"Hand it over, and I’ll let your Primordial Spirit enter reincarnation."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu chuckled.

"Want the Cannibal Immortal? It’s not impossible."

"Trade me your inner core instead."

"Hmm?"

"Human boy, I must say you are bold, daring to talk boastfully before me."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll ensure you face total annihilation."

While speaking, the Gold-devouring Rat suddenly opened its mouth, releasing a beam of golden light.

The golden light, like a piercing arrow, instantly traversed the void, appearing before Zhou Yu’s heart.

Ordinary cultivators might have their hearts pierced instantly and die if faced with such a strike.

But Zhou Yu was different.

With the Eye of Destruction’s help, Zhou Yu saw clearly that the so-called golden light was essentially a chain-like treasure.

The chain treasure aimed at him was extremely sharp.

It could even break through the void.

Yet, Zhou Yu was already prepared.

A black mountain appeared silently before his chest.

Bam!

The golden light struck the Titan Black Mountain, emitting a low, muffled sound.

Yet, it did not shake the Titan Black Mountain, not even scratching its surface.

Witnessing this, the Gold-devouring Rat’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise, but replaced immediately by ferocity, as it resumed its attack...
