In the blink of an eye, the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King behind him caught up, following Nie Li right into the crowd.
"Oh my god!"
"Help!"
The large group of subordinates under Gu Heng were thrown into instant chaos.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
The Thunderfire Winged Serpent King's speed was simply too fast. Its massive body slammed into the people, instantly crushing dozens of them to a pulp. Flames surged forth, and in the next moment, another several dozen screamed as they were reduced to ashes in the blazing fire.
This Thunderfire Winged Serpent King was practically an invincible existence!
Gu Heng witnessed this scene, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. He turned and fled with his group.
Facing this Thunderfire Winged Serpent King, Gu Heng had absolutely no thought of resistance. After all, this creature was a Dragon Path realm existence!
Nie Li's gaze swept over Gu Heng in an instant, a faint smile playing on his lips. He knew his own death was certain, but since Gu Heng was here too, well, that was too bad for him. With a sudden, powerful flap of the black and white wings on his back, he shot forward in a streak of light, heading straight for Gu Heng's direction.
"Scum! Stop following me! If you keep following me, you won't die a good death! Nie Li, I swear I'll make sure your soul is utterly destroyed!" Upon realizing Nie Li was actually chasing after him, Gu Heng cursed in a rage.
Though Nie Li was only at the Heavenly Fate realm, his speed was astonishingly fast, not the least bit inferior to his own!
What terrified Gu Heng even more was that the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King was even faster, closing the distance with terrifying speed.
Nie Li flapped his wings, flying at top speed, sticking close behind Gu Heng. He called out in a tone that was more annoying than threatening: "Young Master Gu, this isn't on purpose! That Thunderfire Winged Serpent behind us is relentless! I don't know where else to run!"
"If you want to die, die on your own! Don't drag me down with you!" Gu Heng fled at breakneck speed, cursing continuously.
"I wasn't trying to drag you in, Young Master Gu! This is an emergency! How about you send some people to block that Thunderfire Winged Serpent? Then I won't follow you anymore!" Nie Li said with a chuckle, feeling secretly delighted at Gu Heng's panicked state.
Hearing Nie Li's words, Gu Heng was furious enough to spit blood. Nie Li was utterly shameless! Let my people block the serpent so you can escape?
"Everyone, block him for me! Kill him! Kill him dead!" Gu Heng roared loudly, and several of his subordinates moved to intercept Nie Li.
Powerful auras locked onto Nie Li, slowing his speed slightly.
After all, Nie Li was only at the Three Lives realm. Many of Gu Heng's subordinates were at the Heavenly Star Heavenly Rotation realm, and now they completely sealed off his path.
It seemed he couldn't escape. But all of this was within his expectations. Making Gu Heng lose so many men was worth it.
Behind him, the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King quickly caught up, opening its mouth to spew scorching flames.
BOOM!
The searing flames pierced through Nie Li. His vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
This was his first death since arriving in the Great World.
After killing Nie Li, the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King paused. Nie Li's presence had completely vanished, but nothing had fallen from his body. The things it had lost from the Divine Pool were still missing!
The Divine Pool that had belonged to it in the distance had completely collapsed, and the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King didn't understand what had happened. Its fury boiled over.
These despicable, cunning humans! Nie Li must have handed over his belongings to someone else while fleeing!
A terrifying, savage light flashed in the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King's eyes. It transformed into a streak of light and began a frenzied slaughter of everyone nearby.
Seeing Nie Li intercepted and killed, Gu Heng let out a sigh of relief. That annoying pest, Nie Li, was no longer chasing him. Surely that Thunderfire Winged Serpent King wouldn't pursue them anymore?
But when he glanced back, the sight nearly froze his soul. After Nie Li's death, the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King seemed even angrier, launching a crazed massacre, chasing down his subordinates one by one and killing them as it caught up.
After all, it was a Dragon Path realm Thunderfire Winged Serpent King. His subordinates had absolutely no power to resist.
Seeing the serpent kill several dozen people and head in their direction, Gu Heng was terrified.
"Get me out of here! Now!" Gu Heng barked.
The surrounding subordinates quickly gathered around Gu Heng, starting to escort him in a frantic dash towards the exit.
After slaughtering several dozen people in a row, the Thunderfire Winged Serpent King's gaze fell upon Gu Heng and his entourage. It possessed considerable intelligence and instantly recognized that Gu Heng was the most important person in this group, with all the others protecting him and facilitating his escape!
The Thunderfire Winged Serpent King violently flapped its wings, ignoring the others, and charged straight after Gu Heng.
Upon seeing this, Gu Heng instantly understood what was happening. He cursed in frustration: "No one follow me! Lure that snake away!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The group scattered rapidly.
