Chapter 1155: Failure of the Escape Technique
Su Chengyu and the others’ complexions changed greatly as they sensed that something was wrong, knowing that things had evolved toward the worst possible scenario.
The Demon Clan that had found them only consisted of four groups, but in this vast area, it was clear that many members of the Demon Clan were searching for their tracks.
Just as the three revealed their presence, those Demons who had not found a target finally homed in on them and surged toward the trio.
Su Chengyu’s expression shifted slightly as he immediately prepared to face the enemy, but after Yihe’s Divine Sense swept the surroundings, he made a decisive command, "Su Chengyu, you go first. I will hold them off by myself."
Su Chengyu turned his head unexpectedly to look at Yihe, scarcely believing that Yihe would make such a decision. The overly kind gesture made it hard for Su Chengyu not to think more of it.
"Hmph, you think I want to? That Demon Monarch is also hastening this way. Once you are exposed before him, it will be too late to escape!"
In that instant, Yihe’s Divine Sense had also detected the aura of the Demon Monarch who was pursuing them. After the three of them had willingly exposed themselves, the pursuer had completely stopped hiding and was rapidly approaching.
Having had several encounters with warriors from the Hollow Realm before, Su Chengyu understood that being targeted by such powerful beings meant likely misfortune, and he didn’t put on any false pretenses.
"Then, my thanks to you, Lord Jiugui. Be careful not to die," Su Chengyu said.
Yihe laughed coldly, "If I weren’t covering your retreat, could he have caught me? Just be careful yourself, and don’t die here!"
With that said, Su Chengyu no longer hesitated, and taking Yu Yanshu with him, he immediately employed the Shadow Escape Technique and submerged underground.
