390 Unexpectedly, It Became a Speed Race
“What do you think happened earlier? Do you think those two Dao heart realm seniors have already found Senior Yuchi?”
“I think they should have. After all, there are two of them, and their combined strength should be much stronger than Senior Yuchi.”
“In addition, Senior Yuchi is probably being slowed down by his disciple, so the probability of them catching up to Senior Yuchi is almost 100%.”
“I think so too. Then do you think they will really fight in the sea heart?”
“I don’t think so. Those two seniors are probably waiting for the sea heart to weaken him. They’ll probably only attack once we leave the sea heart.”
The half-step Dao heart realm cultivators were leisurely chatting with each other as they took turns to pass each altar.
To them, this matter had nothing to do with them at all, merely a topic to pass the time.
“I still hope that Senior Yuchi can persevere. After all, Senior Yuchi is quite kind and easy to talk to. He’s not as arrogant as the other Dao heart realm seniors.”
However, everyone understood that if Yuchi could not deal with this situation, even if he successfully escaped, word would get out and many Dao heart realm cultivators would seek to pursue him due to Yue Hanjiang.
Everyone would no longer have second thoughts about fighting him, and would thus hunt him down. Now, all these half-step Dao heart realm cultivators could do was pray for Yuchi.
…
Meanwhile, the two Dao heart realm cultivators were seriously doubting themselves at this moment.
They had passed through altar after altar, yet had not even caught the slightest glimpse of Yuchi.
As they looked at the gradually decreasing number of altars in front of them, the only thing they felt was an unwillingness to admit defeat.
To them, it was now a matter of pride. If they could not catch up to him, they would no longer be able to show their faces in public in the future.
If two Dao heart realm cultivators failed to catch a single Dao realm cultivator, those two would become jokes in the eyes of other cultivators.
‘This guy’s speed has already reached such a terrifying level. Could it be that he really is stronger than the two of us combined? We’ve already reached the 300th altar!’
‘By right, each battle at these altars would require recovery and recuperation time.’
‘There’s no way he should be passing these altars at the same speed as before!’
These two Dao heart realm cultivators were in a daze.
This was not the first time they had come to this place. According to their previous experience, although the altars in front could be beaten, they had to be very careful the further they went.
Furthermore, it had been three years since their last expedition here. During this time, the Heavenly King seal would have gotten stronger, and with it the inner demons on each altar.
If one was not careful, failure could strike at any point in the final leg of the altars. Therefore, back then, they had taken a day per altar at this stage to ensure that they were in peak condition before every battle.
However, Yuchi did not seem to be slowing down, and appeared to be challenging each altar like a rabid dog, thirsting for water.
He did not skip a single beat as he continued his rapid progress.
‘Is this really his first time in the sea heart?!’
‘Is he really just an ordinary Dao heart realm cultivator?’
‘Is he really stronger than we are?’
All sorts of thoughts were flashing across the minds of these two Dao heart realm cultivators.
They really wanted to catch up to Yuchi right now, and were unwilling to admit defeat. They wanted to show Yuchi that they too had the ability to pass each altar quickly.
However, the further they went, the more worried they felt, especially when they saw the blood stains on each altar they passed.
Every single person who died at this stage onward was a Dao heart realm cultivator!
Therefore, if other Dao heart realm cultivators had died here, then Yuchi’s rapid progress made no sense. There were no recent traces of blood either, so they knew that he was not dead or injured.
“He’s really a beast!”
“This Yuchi is really a wild beast. His strength is probably very different from our earlier speculations.”
“It’s no wonder that jinx is still hanging around him openly. It’s because he’s terrifyingly strong!”
“Damn it!”
“This is so frustrating!”
This feeling that Yuchi was getting further and further away gnawed at them internally.
“Yuchi!”
“Where the hell are you?!”
