389 Incredible Speed
The other cultivators were very antsy. They did not want to see such friction between experts. If a battle broke out between them, and they were caught in the crossfire, it would be a disaster for them.
Who would have thought that these two Dao heart realm cultivators wanted to target Yuchi?
Now, everyone was looking at each other.
Under such circumstances, it seemed that they had to choose a side.
It was immediately obvious that two was better than one.
However, just as they were about to flatter the two Dao heart realm cultivators, the two of them snapped, “What are you guys still doing here? Did you guys come to the sea heart to play around? Hurry up and touch the statue.”
“You bunch of idiots.”
After being scolded by the two, the others hurriedly touched the statue.
The ‘fight’ for the Heavenly King seal had officially begun.
When everyone officially entered the altar, they discovered that Yuchi was no longer on the next altar.
In other words, Yuchi had already defeated his own inner demon and had already gone to the next altar.
“He’s really fast.”
Everyone looked at each other on the altar. They could clearly see that a lot of black blood had appeared on the surface of this altar.
This was the blood left behind by those who had come to absorb the Heavenly King seal, but were killed by it.
Looking at these altars from a distance, they seemed rather simple and ancient. However, being here in person, they could sense an immense amount of killing intent and pressure.
“I can’t find it.”
“I can’t find any traces of Senior Yuchi!”
“Hiss!”
“How fast is he moving between altars?!”
After everyone searched for a while …
They failed to find any trace of Yuchi or Yue Hanjiang’s presence on any of the altars. The two of them seemed to be moving forward at a rather rapid speed.
“Hehe, you’re indeed afraid. You’re just trying to move forward as fast as possible to avoid us.”
“It’s understandable, though. If we were in his shoes being hunted down by a stronger person, we would flee like rabbits too.”
“Let’s go and catch up to them.”
“We’ll let Yuchi know what it means to make enemies out of us.”
The two Dao heart realm cultivators touched the statue in the center, and two inner demons appeared from the statue. They then destroyed it with a single palm strike each.
Then, they went to the next altar, moving at lightning speed to try and catch up to Yuchi and Yue Hanjiang.
When the others saw them disappear, they were stunned.
They really envied those who had Dao hearts.
They were not strong enough, so they had to be mentally prepared before touching each altar’s statue.
After all, if they were not careful, one wrong misstep would cost them their lives.
“It feels as though Senior Yuchi is going to be in trouble.”
“I reckon that he might even die in the sea heart.”
“Yup, I don’t think he has a chance going up against those two.”
Everyone chatted with each other as they took turns touching the statue.
…
A few minutes later.
The two of them, who had originally wanted to catch up to Yuchi and make him feel despair, were now in a deep state of self-doubt.
As far as the current situation was concerned, they felt that the speed at which they had killed these inner demons was already very fast, far surpassing their previous visits to the sea heart.
As such, they had believed that they would be able to catch up to Yuchi quickly and put pressure on him.
However, reality proved otherwise. No matter how fast they moved, they could not seem to catch up to Yuchi and Yue Hanjiang.
If they had not seen them enter the sea heart, they would have suspected that Yuchi and Yue Hanjiang had already left the sea heart.
“What’s going on? Why can’t we catch up to them?”
“How would I know?”
“Logically speaking, we should have caught up already.”
The two Dao heart realm cultivators killed the two inner demons while jumping to another altar. The time between each of them touching this statue was only three seconds, and it took a total of 20 seconds for both of them to kill the inner demons and jump to the next altar.
This was already very, very fast.
As for these two people with Dao hearts, they were already seriously doubting their lives towards the end. Were they really in here?
A few more minutes passed.
The two of them were originally excited and wanted to put pressure on Yuchi to make him suffer for offending them, but now they were simply traveling in silence.
They were silently touching the statues and killing the inner demons.
Finally, the Dao heart realm cultivator said nervously, “What if… just if, Yuchi is stronger than we imagined, and we are the ones in trouble now?”
When the other person heard this, he also felt a little worried.
Damn!
This situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
Logically speaking, they should have been able to catch up to Yuchi and Yue Hanjiang within a short one or two minutes.
In the end, after chasing for such a long time, they still could not even catch a glimpse of them.
How fast were those two moving?
Furthermore, they were already in the second half of the altars, and now needed to pay attention to the inner demons that appeared from the statues.
He thought about it before saying unconvincingly, “I don’t think that’s possible, right? Maybe we’ll find him at the next altar?”
The other person simply shrugged before saying, “Yeah, maybe the next one.”
