C510 Terrifying

Situ Jingxiang had never managed to shake off Woo Zhengyang, but this time, she was genuinely scared and couldn't think straight. Woo Zhengyang felt a bit embarrassed; this girl was impatient, yet her courage was lacking.

If it were up to Woo Zhengyang, he probably wouldn't have started sprinting so quickly. It was all because of Situ Jingxiang's influence. Now that he had calmed down, Woo Zhengyang felt more at ease. This was a trial ground, and even if those women broke free from the spirit crystal, it should just be another test.

With this in mind, Woo Zhengyang slowly turned his head. Just then, a hand landed on his shoulder...

This time, Woo Zhengyang was genuinely frightened, nearly scared to death! In his terror, his potential was pushed to the limit, and his speed almost doubled.

Quickly twisting his body and changing direction, Woo Zhengyang finally managed to shake off the hand on his shoulder. Looking back, he saw a woman closely following him. From her attire, it was clear she was one of the women who had just been sealed in the ice crystal.

Her clothing was unusual—her outer garment was light and sheer, while her inner clothing covered very little. As her sleeves fluttered, her already alluring figure was not just hinted at but clearly visible.

However, Woo Zhengyang wasn't focused on any of that right now. What caught his attention was the height of the woman. She seemed taller than him, which didn't make sense since he remembered her being shorter. Upon closer inspection, Woo Zhengyang was stunned.

The woman was actually flying!

Yes, she was walking on air. Normally, one couldn't fly without reaching the Martial King level, unless using a flying sword. But Woo Zhengyang saw clearly that the woman was hovering more than a foot off the ground, without any flying sword in sight.

Just like when he was being chased by the archer, one was flying, and the other was running. The downside was that they were in an open field, offering no advantage to the runner. Fortunately, the women behind him weren't armed with bows or any weapons; otherwise, Woo Zhengyang wouldn't have stood a chance.

Moreover, the woman's speed while flying was comparable to that of someone at the Skin Stage using a flying sword, not as terrifying as a Martial King expert. Otherwise, Woo Zhengyang wouldn't have bothered running, and even Situ Jingxiang wouldn't have escaped.

This realization gave Woo Zhengyang some relief. Judging by their speed, these women might only be at the Skin or Inner Stage. Despite their numbers, Woo Zhengyang felt confident in handling a few of them, and Situ Jingxiang could easily deal with them.

Situ Jingxiang was so startled that she was left in a daze, still running for her life. Meanwhile, Woo Zhengyang had changed direction, moving further away from her. It was clear that Jingxiang wouldn't catch up anytime soon; Zhengyang had to rely on himself.

Gripping the No Life Sword in his hand, Zhengyang felt his energy surge. If the women behind him got any closer, he was ready to fight with all his might.

"Woo Zhengyang! Where did you go?" Jingxiang's voice echoed from a distance, and Zhengyang let out a bitter smile as he sprinted.

Finally, she remembered she had an ally...

"I'm over here. Don't worry about me; just take care of yourself," Zhengyang called back, glancing at Jingxiang's situation.

Two women were chasing Jingxiang, but with her speed, it wouldn't be easy for them to catch up. Behind Zhengyang, there were also two pursuers. One was right on his heels, her hand almost touching his shoulder, while the other was further back, not an immediate concern.

He glanced back at where they had come from. The spirit crystal statues continued to shatter one by one, releasing the women inside, who then joined the chase after him and Jingxiang.

The third person chose Jingxiang! The fourth person went with Woo Zhengyang. There were sixteen statues in total, and it seemed like Woo Zhengyang and Jingxiang would each have eight followers.

"We can't just keep running like this! If those women break free from the ice and catch up, and we can't finish the fight quickly, we'll definitely be surrounded."

Thinking this over, Woo Zhengyang decided to slow down a bit and test the strength of these women to see if it matched his expectations.

Just then, Jingxiang's voice rang out, "Ah... Woo Zhengyang, don't attack them! When you hit them, they get even stronger!"

Hearing this, Woo Zhengyang quickly halted his No Life Sword, looking over at Jingxiang. Somehow, Jingxiang was already engaged with one of the women behind him. Just as she said, the woman seemed to get faster after being hit by Jingxiang, rather than injured.

"What do we do now?" Woo Zhengyang was at a loss. He wasn't confident of victory to begin with, and now he couldn't even attack easily.

He glanced again in Jingxiang's direction. The woman chasing her seemed to have picked up speed, almost matching Jingxiang's pace. Relying on Jingxiang was out of the question; she was barely managing on her own.

Seeing the distance between them grow, Woo Zhengyang had an idea: delay as much as possible, and if it became too difficult, hide in the Ice Crystal Fire Hall for a while. The woman behind him wouldn't just wait around forever, right? With this thought, Woo Zhengyang sprinted with all his might.

After a grueling effort, he was finally out of Situ Jingxiang's sight. Just as he was about to catch his breath, a figure appeared to his side. Woo Zhengyang frowned. It was Du Yusheng! This guy had shown up here too.

Du Yusheng had already spotted Woo Zhengyang, or perhaps he'd been watching him all along, only revealing himself now. "Haha... You're fast, but let me give you a little more motivation!" Du Yusheng ran alongside, pulling out a bow and shooting arrows as he moved.

"Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh..." Arrows flew toward Woo Zhengyang, who was furious. Already in a precarious situation, this guy was making things worse. It wouldn't be long before the woman caught up with him.

"Haha... This is really something!" Du Yusheng was thrilled to see Woo Zhengyang's struggle, shooting arrows with even more enthusiasm.
