Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2174: Peak finger

Jie Su immediately carried White Robe and ran to the nearby grass, the same grass they had used to ambush Zimu earlier.

Inside, Jie Su found a small box. He opened it to reveal a pill of unknown nature. Without thinking about anything else, he directly stuffed it into White Robeʼs mouth.

Jie Su was afraid that any delay would cause his friend to die. Even now, under severe injury and poison, White Robeʼs body was beginning to stiffen, and his body temperature was terrifyingly low.

Jie Su did not know how White Robe had survived Zimuʼs mutually destructive move, but what he did know was that he could not let his brother die in his arms.

Fortunately, this unknown pill was truly powerful. After White Robe took it, his body actually improved somewhat. Although he was still unconscious, at least his body became softer and warmer.

The white dragon horse flew over and hovered beside Jie Su.

”The master is coming.” It spoke in human language, telling Jie Su, who had become tense upon sensing a life approaching.

Half a minute later, Ye Zhongming, also somewhat disheveled, rushed over.

Seeing Jie Su place White Robe on the ground and apply medicine to his wounds, he felt much relieved. After sweeping his gaze over the battlefield, he began cleaning up the various traces while saying, ”We need to leave quickly. The commotion just now was a bit too loud.”

On his way there, Ye Zhongming had seen the massive energy fluctuations and slight changes in the weather caused by the ability Zimu had used. Although he felt there should not be too much of a problem, they still needed to flee quickly to be safe.
The strategic goal had been completely achieved. As long as they left, it would be a complete victory.

Ye Zhongming searched Zimuʼs corpse, taking away anything useful, and then planned to destroy the body.

That was how they had handled the previous bodies. Making them disappear without a trace was the best outcome. The Huoʼer Star people would have nothing to investigate.

But just as he was about to sprinkle the drug used to destroy the body, Ye Zhongming and Jie Su both looked up at the same time, in the same direction.

”White dragon horse, get in!”

”Quick, go!”

Ye Zhongming and Jie Su shouted simultaneously.

They sensed an energy so powerful that merely detecting it made them feel invincible, as it rapidly approached their location.

That feeling clearly told them that not only in their current state, two injured and one unconscious, but even if they had been uninjured earlier and had the Gold Soldier Killing Formation, they would not have been able to withstand a single move from this existence.

Even though they had not yet seen this person, Jie Su and Ye Zhongming knew who was coming. It must be that Huoʼer Star peak expert!

If they did not leave now, they truly would not be able to escape.

They disregarded everything else and began dashing in the opposite direction. At the very start, they both took some medicine: some to recover physical strength, some to increase potential, and some with mild berserking effects.

At this point, they no longer had to worry about whether taking these medicines together would cause side effects. Anything that could increase even a tiny chance of escape was good.

Ye Zhongming tossed a mask to Jie Su. He also took off his Bronze Order Leader mask and put on a different one.

This was just in case.

Less than half a minute after they left, the Huoʼer Star peak expert arrived at the site of the battle. He floated in the air, looked down, and his expression became extremely ugly.

He saw Zimu, his entire body already purplish-black, even in death.

A prince of the Huoʼer Star people had been killed here!!!

This was not only about his personal reputation but also about the entire Huoʼer Star peopleʼs honor among the cosmic races.

A leader race, and someone dared to act against them!? And with just one move, they had killed a prince!

Even if this prince could never inherit the throne, he was still a prince! The blood of the royal family flowed in his veins!

This was a provocation against the entire Huoʼer Star people!

Moreover, Zimu was a key link in the Huoʼer Star peopleʼs grand plan. They had tilted resources toward him. The purpose of this Novice battlefield was to build Zimuʼs reputation. For what? So that in the future, they could influence and even control the Sheke Star people!

Now, the seed was dead here. Who had done it? What was their purpose? Had they discovered the grand plan? Was it directed against the Huoʼer Star people?

These questions flashed through the peak expertʼs mind, diminishing his anger somewhat but increasing his desire for answers and investigation.

He let out a cold snort and rapidly flew in the direction he had just detected the targets had gone.

He wanted to see who had such audacity.

………………

On the other side, Ye Zhongming and Jie Su fled for their lives. At one point, they thought they had successfully escaped, because that power had stopped and did not continue pursuing. The distance between them had rapidly increased during that period.

As long as the distance increased enough, they could use the teleportation array to leave!

The reason they did not want to leave immediately was that the long-distance teleportation array required a bit of time from activation to the start of teleportation. If they could not ʼescapeʼ this time interval, then before they could completely leave, the peak expert would arrive, and that would be no different from giving up without a fight.

But their hopes were soon dashed. Not only did the peak expert not give up, but he also accelerated toward them. Given the current situation, the peak expert would see them in at most fifteen seconds, and in another five seconds, they would be captured!

”Do you have any way?” Ye Zhongming said to Jie Su beside him.

He was asking whether Jie Su had any ace-in-the-hole items.

Jie Su smiled bitterly and said, ”Yes, but against a peak expert, it would be the same as having nothing.”

That was true. Raini-grade equipment might have played a key role in the duel between White Robe and Zimu, but if White Robe were fighting that peak expert, even a hundred more pieces of Raini-grade equipment would not be enough for a single finger flick from that person.

”You donʼt have any way either?”

Jie Su looked ahead and asked Ye Zhongming.

Like others, he had deeply ingrained in his heart the belief that Ye Zhongming could create miracles.

Ye Zhongming did not speak. After a moment of silence, he said, ”If I let you continue running while carrying me, can you maintain your current speed?”

Jie Su was stunned for a moment, then immediately answered, ”At most ten seconds.”

Ye Zhongming nodded. His body suddenly changed direction, and his hands rested on Jie Suʼs shoulders, letting this Su Clan genius carry him.

Jie Su made some abnormal energy operations within his body. After a violent shudder, even while carrying another person, his speed did not slow at all; it was slightly faster than before.

Only his slightly reddened face showed that this state obviously could not last long. Soon, ten seconds passed, but Jie Su still did not slow down.

He did not know what Ye Zhongming was about to do, but he knew that his good brother must be making some kind of preparation. What he had to do was buy him a little more time.
