Li Wei flew toward Lin Hao.
"Roar!"
Seeing this scene, the remaining monsters rushed toward Li Wei even more frantically. Some had lost limbs, and the monsters that were not yet dead took their last breaths, charging at Li Wei just to buy time.
"Bastard! Bastard!"
Li Wei was furious, throwing out spirit stones and beheading the monsters. However, there were too many of them. Despite having killed half of the monsters just now, a few hundred still remained.
As he observed the scene from the sky, Lin Hao suddenly felt an inexplicable touch deep in his heart, as if a string hidden within him had snapped.
He had never experienced this feeling in his previous life.
Those monsters with broken legs and feet, which should have died long ago, rushed out like flashes of light, blocking Li Wei's path with their corpses.
The monsters had all gone mad, yet for Lin Hao's departure and future revenge, they were willing to sacrifice their lives, delaying him every minute and every second.
Lin Hao was stunned.
He suddenly realized something.
Under the threat of death, humans will compromise and give in, even kneeling to survive. Under the temptation of transcending the heavens, they can kill their masters and commit heinous acts.
Human greed has no bounds.
However, he had never heard of any demon clan members doing such things!
Monsters are not human; their intelligence is much lower, and their talents and spiritual roots are not as developed. Their thinking is far less complicated than that of humans.
Yet the monsters do not betray their kind, nor do they stab each other in the back! This group of low-intelligence monsters can sacrifice their lives for Lin Hao's future revenge without hesitation!
"Haha!" Lin Hao suddenly felt a laugh bubbling up within him.
Back then, he entered the demon world alone, leaving the corpses of the demon clan in his wake. Even the demon master had been beheaded by him. In the end, he was besieged and killed by humans. What a grand irony!
Fortunately, God had given him a chance to start over!
In this life, he wouldn't trust anyone anymore! He would reclaim everything he had lost for the demon clan!
At this moment, Yin Que had already taken him to the edge of the courtyard wall. In front of them was a river, and beyond it lay the Monster Beast Mountains!
Just then, he suddenly felt a Qi machine lock onto him; his snake scales trembled, and a strong sense of crisis rose within him!
Lin Hao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately spotted a middle-aged man in a black robe on the city wall, drawing a bowstring aimed at him.
To be precise, the man was aiming at the two of them.
"Whoosh!"
The bowstring was released, and an arrow shot out from below, flying straight toward them.
The Qi locked onto them firmly; there was no way to avoid it. This arrow was going to penetrate both of them!
"Not good!" Lin Hao's pupils dilated in shock, and countless thoughts raced through his mind. He attempted to invoke various spells, but one by one, they were rejected!
Now, he was only a fourth-tier monster and had not yet established a foundation; his spiritual energy was minimal. No matter how many spells he knew, he couldn't use them, so what was the point?
Unless...
"Wow!"
In that instant, Yin Que suddenly exerted all her strength, throwing Lin Hao toward the other side of the river while pushing herself back into the yard.
"Do not!!!"
Lin Hao hissed loudly!
Yin Que was willing to take the arrow herself to save him?
Impossible!
As Lin Hao's snake body fell into the distance, he watched the arrow shoot directly toward Yin Que's petite frame. If it hit, she would die!
"I know that if I escape in time, I will definitely be able to return and wash this place in blood! Avenge the dead monsters!"
"However, the dead cannot be resurrected. Thousands of monsters sacrificed their lives to cover me. If she is killed before my eyes, what is the point of my existence?"
Lin Hao understood that he had no choice at that moment!
Once Yin Que was killed, his Dao heart would be unstable, and even if he took revenge, he would be unable to break Heaven's Dao for the rest of his life.
"Gorefiend Disintegration Dafa!"
In an instant, the blood in Lin Hao's entire body boiled and evaporated at a terrifying speed!
This move is the last resort of a desperate cultivator. After using it, all the blood essence in the body will be consumed in a short time.
Lin Hao was gambling!
The stakes were his life!
He aimed at the sky and shot out a bloody arrow that was thick and terrifying.
"Whoosh!"
The blood column, as long as a bucket, spewed forth and shot toward the arrow at an unbelievable speed. The tremendous force caused the arrow to veer off course by a few inches.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow flew past, barely missing Yin Que and shooting out into the distance. Although it didn't hit her directly, the strong spiritual current still sent Yin Que flying, and she let out a miserable cry before passing out.
The next moment!
Lin Hao transformed into a streak of blood, soared into the sky, swept up the unconscious Silver Sparrow, and then shot toward the Monster Beast Mountains like an arrow released from a bow.
"What! How can the black yin snake use the blood secret method?!" The man in the black robe on the courtyard wall was greatly shocked.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he saw Lin Hao clutching the silver sparrow and disappearing into the distance, leaving only a sky full of blood behind.
"These two monsters must be hiding a great secret; they may possess the legendary immortal door method. I cannot allow them to escape!"
The middle-aged man in black was about to jump off the courtyard wall to give chase when a commotion suddenly erupted behind him.
"Hu Guanshi, bad news!"
A guard rushed over in a panic. "The slaves... The slaves have escaped!"
"What?!" Hu Guanshi's eyes widened.
"Taking advantage of the monster riot just now, a slave named Ye Wenlong strangled the gatekeeper with a chain, grabbed the key, and released all the slaves in Warehouse No. 130!" the guard said anxiously.
Hu Guanshi's face immediately darkened. Ye Wenlong was the only congenital warrior among the slaves, someone he had strictly guarded. How could he have run away while Hu Guanshi was dealing with the monsters?
At this moment, riots erupted in the distance, and a large number of slaves rushed out, wielding chains and iron bars, attacking anyone in their path. Several gatekeepers could barely defend themselves before being overwhelmed by the endless tide of slaves.
Furious, Hu Guanshi drew a shining knife from his storage ring and rushed over...
---
"Pfft!"
As Lin Hao flew halfway, he could no longer maintain his form and fell into the river below, swept away by the current.
Desperately, Lin Hao burned the remaining essence and blood within him, using all his strength to keep the silver sparrow afloat as he slowly swam to the other side of the river.
Time passed minute by minute.
Carried by the current, Lin Hao did not know where he was floating; his consciousness gradually blurred. Yet, with his tenacious willpower, he kept the silver sparrow afloat, knowing that if she submerged in the water, she would likely die.
"I am Lei Zun of the World Extermination! What kind of catastrophe have I not faced?"
"Heart Demon Tribulation, Nine Nine Profound Thunder Tribulations, and the Destruction Thunder Tribulation failed to destroy me. A river wants to drown me?"
"Hahaha! What a joke!"
Lin Hao sneered.
"Give me fire!"
Lin Hao roared inwardly, and the last of his blood burned away in an instant, unleashing his final burst of energy, propelling him across the river with the force of thunder.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Hao shot out of the river, placing the silver sparrow on a dry stone on the bank before collapsing, utterly drained.
At this moment, he was completely depleted of blood; his once-robust form had been reduced to a thin, dehydrated snake, lying there motionless.
"Ding! Main quest 1: Escape from the Colosseum, complete!"
