Zhang Chen felt helpless when he heard this, he could only lower his head and run. What else could he do? He was also powerless!
If Zhang Chen relied solely on his own abilities, with only a Six-Word True Mantra Seal, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape. But fortunately, the Black Robed Monster was holding back the Innate Mosquito.
He runs, chased behind by the mosquito, finding it impossible to escape.
The endless red sand kept rising, leaving behind footprints. Zhang Chen looked at the red sand beneath his feet, still finding time to stop and collect some. He had not forgotten his primary goal.
The red sand beneath his feet has been soaked by the Sea of Blood, most effective against Yin Soul and the like, sufficient for his practice of the first level of Divine Technique.
"Stop collecting red sand, hurry and run! You want to collect red sand, but what’s the use of collecting it from the surface? The sand at the bottom is the essence, remnants from the time of the opening of Heaven and Earth. The deepest sand was left by strong figures from the opening times, then the Sea of Blood continually absorbed the blood of all beings, layer upon layer of red sand covered over. The upper sand was left by those people ten thousand eight hundred years ago, what collection value does it have? You better run quickly, if we survive, I’ll accompany you to dig the bottom sand, if we don’t survive, it’s useless even if you dig the red sand," the Black Robed Monster saw Zhang Chen still having the mind to collect red sand while escaping and burst into outrage.
Zhang Chen felt that what the monster said was right, casually brushed aside the red sand, and continued running faster.
After a round of chasing and fleeing, fortunately, Zhang Chen had unlimited stamina, else he wouldn’t have been able to hold out.
"I say, how can we keep running like this? Quickly think of a way to balance this bastard, or I’ll be run to death by him." Zhang Chen complained while running.
"Hahaha, I am invincible in this Netherworld, this old guy is just a candle in the wind, barely clinging to life, how can he resist me? If he had a way to turn the tide, he would have killed me long ago and wouldn’t have had his body devoured by me," the voice of the Innate Mosquito was full of pride.
Its body was as large as a mountain, each step stamping down like a mountain, startling Zhang Chen into instantly transforming into a Vampire Bat, flying through the air. Thankfully, his Blood Control Technique had been elevated to level five, significantly boosting his flight speed, else he’d be turned to ash by a single step.
"Hmph, you just rely on the Law of Devouring. Without it, how could you ever have tricked me?" The voice of the Black Robed Monster was full of anger.
"Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, the winner is king!" retorted the Innate Mosquito, with a smug laugh.
Zhang Chen transformed into a Vampire Bat, frantically winging through the air, becoming a black line that constantly dodged the mosquito’s proboscis and the crushing feet.
"Can’t your Soul Mark technique deal with him?" The Black Robed Monster asked Zhang Chen, ignoring the Innate Mosquito.
Zhang Chen shook his head upon hearing this, the lifespan of the Innate Mosquito was too long; his Soul Hook skill couldn’t deal with it.
Seeing Zhang Chen’s denial, the Black Robed Monster felt disappointed and frustrated: "There is a method to subdue this bastard, but with our power, it is simply impossible."
"There’s a way to suppress this bastard? What method?" Zhang Chen’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, he asked.
At this moment, the foot stomped down, Zhang Chen’s Vampire Bat couldn’t dodge in time, was directly kicked away by the foot as large as a small hill, spewing a mouthful of blood in mid-air, with all bones broken and half his body exploded. Fortunately, he possessed Limb Regeneration and the ability to regenerate flesh, able to quickly restore his body and continue escaping.
Zhang Chen already realized the Black Robed Monster was gradually losing ground in the fight with the Primordial Spirit of the Innate Mosquito, struggling more than before. Previously, when the Innate Mosquito attacked, the Black Robed Monster could promptly seize control of its body, at least mislead its direction, causing the attack to miss Zhang Chen. But now, to be directly kicked by the Innate Mosquito’s body, wasn’t that a terrible omen?
He couldn’t let the Black Robed Monster be devoured by the opponent, otherwise, once the Black Robed Monster executed the Rebirth Technique, he would immediately die as well.
No matter the control method, inquiring first about its feasibility is better than nothing.
"The most powerful attack technique of the Innate Mosquito is its proboscis—an extraordinary object of Heaven and Earth, containing unique laws, possessing Devouring Origin. If we can cut off its proboscis, without its aid, I can at least remain undefeated." The Black Robed Monster spoke with despair: "But if one wants to sever its proboscis, one must have the Fruit Position, with our combined strength, how could we ever sever its proboscis?"
Hearing this, disappointment appeared on Zhang Chen’s face; achieving the Fruit Position was beyond his imagination.
But soon, a thought flashed through Zhang Chen’s mind: he might not have the Fruit Position’s strength, but he did have the Golden Scissors, right? The Golden Scissors could cut down countless strong figures in the past, even those Ancient Gods and Demons had bled under its blades. Logically speaking, those Ancient Gods should not be inferior to this mosquito, right?
Moreover, now that the Golden Scissors’ power had mostly been restored, although he couldn’t activate them to transform into a Black and White True Dragon to kill enemies, he could still use the scissors’ main body.
Even if the Golden Scissors suffered heavy damage, their sharpness remained unchanged, didn’t it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen’s heart beat wildly, feeling the whirlwind chasing him from behind, quickly diving to avoid the crushing foot, then revealing his true form in the red sand, quickly drawing talismans to bind the mosquito for two breaths, looking up and shouting, "Old man, do you dare to make a big gamble? If it succeeds, we can both escape to Heaven; if it fails, we will die. Do you dare to bet with me?"
