Chapter 521: The Frightened Escape

In the sea of fire, the chilling screams of the Marquises suddenly echoed.

The black shroud transformed by the Marquises had no power to resist against this terrifying sea of fire.

His body was continuously engulfed in flames.

In the distance, the five Marquises who were rapidly approaching stopped in fear.

They finally realized.

This strongest member of humanity possessed law-based attack ability.

Moreover, he could unleash almost all common powers of the laws through his self-created Method of All Laws.

The fire laws were one of the most common and powerful law abilities.

Also, it had always been their Undying Race’s greatest nemesis.

Could it be that this strongest member of humanity had been toying with them from beginning to end?

Did he wait until they began to reveal their trump cards before using his law-based attack?

The five Marquises showed expressions of surprise and hesitated to approach.

This sea of fire was not only terrifyingly powerful, but its coverage was also absurdly vast, and it moved incredibly fast.

If they got too close, they might not even be able to escape.

“Save me, hurry and save me!”

The cries and pleas of the Marquises echoed continuously within the sea of fire.

The four Marquises turned to look at Marquises Hippo.

Marquises Hippo was uncertain, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to the green barrier.

The four Marquises realized this too.

They looked at the green barrier with hopeful anticipation.

If this green barrier could successfully trap Yi Chen, they would achieve a complete victory by capturing Yi Chen.

Conversely, it would also save the Marquises engulfed by the sea of fire.

Of course, if the green barrier succeeded in trapping Yi Chen, they would actually hope that the Marquises consumed by the flames would perish.

Because that would mean one less Marquises to share the spoils.

But in any case, at the moment Yi Chen suddenly unleashed his powerful Spell Attack, the green barrier transformed into their greatest hope.

On the other side, Yi Chen had already sensed the approach of the green barrier but did not take it seriously.

Such a restraint-type method was merely one form of law power.

It was difficult to destroy it with physical attacks.

However, solving it with law-based attacks was not difficult at all.

Just as the green barrier was about to get close, he waved his hand.

A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the green barrier.

Boom!

A loud bang echoed.

Under the impact of the lightning attack, the green barrier was instantly shattered into fragments of laws and waves of energy that quickly dispersed in all directions.

Marquises Hippo and the four Marquises were dumbfounded.

They never expected such a high-level binding technique to be destroyed so easily; it far exceeded their expectations.

The Marquises engulfed in the sea of fire let out even more harrowing screams, pulling them back to reality.

As the flames continued to burn, the body of this Marquises was being destroyed continuously, yet he was rapidly recovering thanks to the powerful self-healing ability of his blood.

However, his blood was not infinite, and he could not truly resurrect like the Little Gold Ball.

With rapid consumption, his blood was draining at an alarming speed.

What to do?

Marquises Hippo and the four Marquises all felt a headache coming on.

If the green barrier could successfully trap Yi Chen, it wouldn’t matter whether to save him or not.

It would be better if the Marquises burned to death.

But right now, the green barrier had not trapped Yi Chen. If they allowed this Marquises to be killed, it would mean their overall strength would decline.

Their chances of capturing Yi Chen would decrease accordingly.

“Attack! Attack with all your might! Interrupt his law-based attack!”

Marquises Hippo gritted his teeth and accelerated toward Yi Chen first.

The four Marquises followed closely behind.

They planned to force Yi Chen to stop using his Spell Attack by overwhelming him with their attacks, thus relieving the crisis of the surrounded Marquises.

Conversely, if Yi Chen used the same methods to attack them, they could pressure him to abandon his attacks.

But clearly, at this moment, all they thought about was capturing Yi Chen and obtaining this tremendous opportunity.

No one considered the possibility that Yi Chen could defeat them and capture them instead.

They believed such a scenario was impossible.

Their greatest confidence came from the belief that even if Yi Chen was stronger than them, he could not prevent their escape.

Even if they took a thousand steps back, with their remaining strength, they only needed to scatter and flee; at most, Yi Chen could rely on his speed advantage to catch just one of them.

This meant that even if the worst-case scenario happened, only one of them would be the unfortunate one.

They did not believe they would be that unlucky one.

But in reality, in Yi Chen’s eyes, they were all about to be captured, unfortunate souls.

As the five Marquises launched their powerful assault once again,

Yi Chen did not end the sea of fire; instead, he multitasked, maintaining the sea of fire attack while maneuvering around it, using his speed advantage to evade the pursuit of the four Marquises.

He could even swing his sword to unleash streams of Sword Energy, continuing to refine his Heaven-Slashing Technique.

Within just one or two minutes, as the five Marquises roared in fury, Yi Chen’s divine consciousness could clearly sense the Marquises surrounded by the sea of fire.

The self-healing ability was slowing down significantly.

The blood inside his body was also nearing depletion.

Only then did he stop the sea of fire attack, preventing this Marquises’s blood from continuing to be consumed.

In the distance, Marquises Moses, who had been watching, immediately flew toward the Marquises who was burned beyond recognition.

“Marquises Moses, what are you doing?”

“Marquises Moses, you are colluding with the strongest member of humanity and even joining forces with the strongest member of humanity against us, the Undying Race. Are you planning to betray our entire Undying Race?”

Marquises Hippo and the four Marquises were all taken aback.

While reprimanding, they tried to intercept Marquises Moses.

Marquises Moses sneered.

He believed that it wouldn’t be long before the six Marquises before him would be forced to pledge loyalty to Yi Chen, just like he had.

The difference was that he was directly controlled over life and death by Yi Chen, while Marquises Hippo and the others would be controlled by him.

In theory, they were at an even lower tier than him.

Just as they were about to block Marquises Moses’s path, a sea of fire swept toward them, forcing them to quickly retreat to avoid it, which also allowed Marquises Moses to slip through the blockade.

Marquises Hippo and the others tried to launch another strong attack on Yi Chen, hoping to force him back like before.

But this time, Yi Chen did not evade simply because they were attacking together; instead, he used his speed to dodge.

He had successfully improved the Heaven-Slashing Technique.

The five Marquises did not significantly enhance his combat experience or effectiveness.

It was time to end the battle.

Just as Marquises Hippo and the four Marquises wondered why Yi Chen chose not to escape this time, his figure suddenly vanished.

What was happening?

In the next second, Marquises Hippo and the four Marquises were horrified to discover Yi Chen’s figure appearing right behind one of the Marquises.

The distance between them was less than a hundred meters.

Then, a sea of fire erupted forth.

Before this Marquises could even react, the sea of fire completely engulfed him.

Screams rang out once again.

Was this… teleportation?

Marquises Hippo and the three Marquises were dumbfounded.

Only then did they realize that Yi Chen had not used his full strength before.

At the very least, he had a powerful teleportation ability, which he had only revealed at this moment.

Without any hesitation, the four Counts fled in different directions.

They knew very well that under the circumstances of possessing a teleportation ability, even if they were stronger than Yi Chen, they could not defeat or capture him.

Not to mention that, from the current situation, Yi Chen’s strength surpassed theirs even when they worked together.

In such a scenario, even if capturing Yi Chen meant obtaining an unimaginably great opportunity, they had to simply and decisively choose to give up.

Even the Marquises who had been consumed by the sea of fire also chose to abandon the fight.

Otherwise, none of them would escape.
