When danger arrived, Niss felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart. She couldn't help but glance back.
"Ah!" Niss's face turned pale as paper in fright. At the same time, in terror, she pushed her speed to its absolute limit, fleeing forward.
"You think you can run?" A trace of contempt flashed through the cold, stern man's eyes. He directly deployed his 'Domain of the Divine'. Niss's originally swift speed was instantly constrained, slowing down. Niss was only a Midgod at this moment. In her heart, fear began to well up: "Bei Bei, brother, where are you?"
In the face of death, it was Bei Bei and Solomon she thought of!
At this moment, Niss was positioned at a junction in the corridor.
"Bei Bei!" Niss's eyes suddenly brightened. About a hundred meters to her right, there was a figure – Bei Bei wearing his straw hat. Bei Bei's face was still full of joy, but upon seeing Niss appear suddenly, with a Highgod pursuing her right behind, Bei Bei's expression instantly turned to terror.
"Too bad, it's too late." Niss could already feel the sharp sword energy from the rear bearing down on her. A hint of unwillingness and regret flickered in her eyes. "Bei Bei, actually, what I want most right now is just to say one word to you, to hear your voice."
Inside the desert castle, even a Midgod's spiritual sense range was less than ten meters. How could she transmit a voice with divine sense?
Bei Bei's eyes were also filled with terror!
"No!" Bei Bei's heart-wrenching cry rang out. A hundred meters distance – he was fast, but that Highgod was no slower. Most importantly, the Highgod was too close to Niss.
"Nini, no!!!" Bei Bei was filled with rage and helplessness.
The moment before Bei Bei saw Niss...
Lin Lei was walking alone through the desert castle. The entire fortress was cold and filled with killing intent.
Lin Lei had just gone through a fierce battle. After a brief recovery, his strength had returned to its optimal state. Suddenly, a hint of joy appeared between his brows: "Bei Bei, you're not far from me now. There's a corridor ahead that leads in your direction. It's very likely we can meet."
"There's a corridor in front of me too, boss. I'm heading that way." Bei Bei was ecstatic.
Lin Lei hadn't expected that in the beginning, when he had deliberately tried to meet up with Bei Bei, they couldn't find each other. But now, after a fierce battle, wandering aimlessly, he was actually getting closer to Bei Bei.
"Whoosh!" Lin Lei darted forward.
He turned a corner and entered the corridor leading towards Bei Bei.
"Haha, Bei Bei!"
Lin Lei had already seen the straw-hatted figure at the end of the corridor – it was Bei Bei.
Lin Lei and Bei Bei were roughly three hundred meters apart, each at one end of the corridor. This corridor, which was over three hundred meters long, itself had three or four branching paths.
"Haha, boss, I see you!" Bei Bei was beaming with joy.
"I see you too." Lin Lei's heart was filled with excitement. Without thinking, he accelerated again, charging forward. "Please, don't let a wall suddenly appear in the middle of this corridor." What Lin Lei feared most was exactly that. He had to meet up with Bei Bei first.
Only then could they avoid being forced apart again.
"Whoosh!"
From a junction about ten meters ahead of Lin Lei, a figure suddenly rushed out.
"Phew, that startled me." What Lin Lei feared most was a wall appearing in front of him, blocking him from Bei Bei. "She is...?" Lin Lei's expression changed drastically.
It was Niss, being chased!
Niss had spotted Bei Bei a hundred meters to her right, but she hadn't seen Lin Lei on her left!
Bei Bei had been immersed in the joy of about to meet Lin Lei, but suddenly seeing Niss being pursued, his heart turned ice-cold. The clever light in his eyes was replaced by sheer terror: "No—" His heart-wrenching cry echoed!
For how many years had Bei Bei never liked any girl.
This was his first time. Although Bei Bei loved to joke around, he had sworn in his heart that he would spend the rest of his life with this lovely girl.
A pure and simple thought, but Bei Bei had always held onto it.
Bei Bei couldn't save her in time!
But Lin Lei could!
"Highgod!" Seeing only a few meters behind Niss the thin, cold-faced man, Lin Lei's expression changed drastically.
After his last battle against a Highgod, Lin Lei understood very well... even with the fusion of two Laws' profound insights, even possessing a Sovereign-grade Soul Defensive Artifact, his chances of victory against a Highgod were less than half. If his opponent was cautious and vigilant, the probability of his own death was very high!
To save her, he would have to use his ultimate technique. In a rushed situation, it would be hard to kill the opponent. If the opponent saw Lin Lei's ultimate move, they would definitely become wary. Once wary, Lin Lei himself might very well end up dead.
If he didn't save her, Lin Lei might find a better opportunity, a chance for a one-hit kill!
"No—" Lin Lei completely felt Bei Bei's terror, felt the tremor in Bei Bei's soul. Their souls were connected; the current trembling of Bei Bei's soul... Lin Lei felt it clearly.
Without hesitation!
"Kill!" The light in Lin Lei's eyes instantly turned razor-sharp. The black jade heavy sword in his hand traced a perfect arc. Immediately after, a pale yellow, semi-transparent sword shadow flew out from the blade of the black jade heavy sword, shooting directly at the thin, cold-faced man.
Soul Attack—Void Sword Wave!
Just as Lin Lei attacked without hesitation, the terrified Bei Bei also let out a heart-wrenching roar. Simultaneously, a massive phantom of a 'God Devouring Rat' appeared behind Bei Bei. The phantom of the God Devouring Rat opened its mouth, its icy gaze fixed on the thin man.
Innate Divine Ability—God Devouring!
The thin, cold-faced man had originally swung his sword down at Niss, but Lin Lei was also close to him. The Void Sword Wave arrived in an instant.
"Not good!"
