A stern reprimand echoed from behind, and Shen Luo twisted his head to look back, just to see a golden light hurriedly chasing after him. The golden figure embedded within the light was charging at him like an arrow.
His expression couldn't help but change, a trace of urgency flickered in his eyes. He could only operate the mana in his Dantian and meridians with all his might. The blue light from his body abruptly increased and he spurred the water waves forward without any reservation.
The waves and the dozens of water pythons beneath him lit up with a watery blue glow, and their surge speed instantly doubled, quickly widening the gap between him and Junzhi.
However, before he could even take a breath, the hissing sound behind him rang out again. The speed of the man in golden light soared, not only failing to close the gap with Shen Luo but even drawing much closer. It looked like he would catch up any second.
