Chapter 147 – Mission Accomplished! You Guys Carry On!

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

Li Shanlin and Zhang Lifei stood staring at the Barrier for nearly ten minutes before they finally noticed something.

The Barrier moved once every ten minutes!

And the distance it moved was approximately ten meters!

This meant the Barrier was constantly shrinking. As it contracted, the scope of the battlefield would become smaller and smaller.

Once the battlefield shrank to a certain point, it meant that even those who didn't want to fight would be forced to face their opponents' attacks.

There would be nowhere left to run.

"Uncle Shanlin, what should we do?" Zhang Lifei asked, feeling a bit indecisive.

"Wait. We keep waiting. Going back now is far too dangerous."

Zhang Lifei nodded at Li Shanlin's decision.

Compared to jumping straight into the fray, waiting for the Barrier to shrink might actually be a good idea.

Boom!

Burning flames ignited the lush grass nearby, and the residual shockwave sent Wen Yu staggering.

Wen Yu quickly steadied himself and sprinted toward the distance.

There were many techniques to running for one's life, and Wen Yu was well-versed in them thanks to his experiences in his previous life.

Besides, Wen Yu refused to think of this as running for his life.

This was called containment.

Wen Yu kept comforting himself internally, which slightly eased his frustration. It also helped him suppress the urge to recall One-Eye.

Behind him, the Black Robe's taunts rang out incessantly.

Wen Yu simply chose to ignore them.

"Where do you think you can run!"

The Black Robe roared again as a massive pillar of fire erupted toward Wen Yu.

"Phasing!"

The destructive range of the fire pillar was too large, forcing Wen Yu to use his Phasing ability to dodge the attack.

Fortunately, Wen Yu still had plenty of physical strength, and he had Stamina Recovery Potions in his Spatial Ring. He wasn't afraid of this level of consumption.

Flames splashed everywhere, igniting an innocent tree nearby. Without pausing for a second, the Black Robe lunged directly at Wen Yu.

In this state, the Black Robe didn't have many Skills; what was terrifying was his physical power.

According to Wen Yu's estimation, the man's raw physical strength had likely reached over 200 Points.

This level of power was already beyond Wen Yu's current ability to handle.

Just as Wen Yu prepared to continue running-no, containing-the situation suddenly changed.

Wen Yu felt his mind go blank for a moment, and in the next second, he lost all awareness.

The Black Robe, naturally unaware of what was happening inside Wen Yu's body, concentrated his violent power into his right fist and smashed it directly into Wen Yu's back.

Wen Yu's body felt as if it had been run over by a truck. The moment he was hit, his spine was shattered into pieces.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Wen Yu was sent flying. He crashed through three large trees before finally collapsing onto the ground.

However, despite suffering such a heavy blow, Wen Yu actually smiled.

"You must be a newly promoted Demon Temple Guard."

Although the words came out of Wen Yu's mouth and in Wen Yu's voice, the content and tone were definitely not his. Furthermore, he spoke in the Demon Realm Language.

The Black Robe had been about to follow up and end Wen Yu's life once and for all, but upon hearing those words, he skidded to a halt. He bowed deeply and respectfully toward the slumped Wen Yu.

A humble voice escaped the Black Robe's mouth: "Greetings, My Lord!"

"It is merely a Remnant Soul,"

"Wen Yu" shook his head slightly before speaking again.

"You have arrived at the right time. The Soul Fragment I was inhabiting is no longer here; this is now just a Residual Consciousness."

"Understood."

"Wen Yu" pondered for a moment before continuing.

"Empty your soul! I will transfer this consciousness into you. Once you return to the Demon Realm and meet my main body, I shall credit you with a great service!"

Hearing "Wen Yu's" words, the Black Robe lowered his head even further. His voice trembled with humility and a hint of excitement: "For the Demon Race! For the Demon Lord!"

A beam of Black Light shot out from Wen Yu's eyes, plunging directly into the eyes of the Black Robe.

Black Robe's eyes closed slightly. When they opened again, the master controlling this body was no longer Black Robe!

At that moment, Wen Yu regained consciousness!

Wen Yu was naturally unaware of the conversation that had just occurred between "Wen Yu" and Black Robe. The moment his consciousness cleared, the only thing he felt was pain!

The injury to his spine left Wen Yu completely unable to move. Furthermore, the stabbing pain in his internal organs made him realize that his current condition was far from optimistic!

Looking at the strangely staring Black Robe in front of him, Wen Yu's mind raced. He deactivated his Combat State and immediately opened his Second Soul Realm, summoning One-Eye back to his side!

In a moment like this, Wen Yu couldn't care less about the big picture!

If he died, nothing else would matter anymore!

As soon as One-Eye appeared and saw the situation, he let out a terrifying roar and lunged at Black Robe!

One-Eye had sustained significant injuries while blocking the Demon Realm Gate, but his current Physical Attribute had improved considerably!

At the very least, One-Eye was more than qualified to crush Black Robe under his claws!

Seeing the lunging One-Eye, Black Robe suddenly laughed!

Ignoring One-Eye's terrifying assault, Black Robe turned and ran toward the Demon Realm Gate!

However, before leaving, a mental ripple transmitted into Wen Yu's mind.

"We will meet again. Look forward to it; some very interesting things will happen the next time we meet!!!"

"Don't chase him."

A weak voice came from Wen Yu's mouth. One-Eye, who was just about to continue the pursuit, immediately stopped and returned to Wen Yu's side!

"Take me to Sun Ruixing!"

The injury to Wen Yu's spine was too severe – so severe that he had lost control of his hands. For the current Wen Yu, trying to take a Healing Potion out of his Spatial Ring was nothing more than a pipe dream!

"Woof! Woof!"

One-Eye gave a low bark, opened his large mouth, and picked Wen Yu up, running toward the direction of the battlefield!

Black Robe was not slow; he was significantly faster than One-Eye, who was carrying Wen Yu.

By the time Black Robe reached the central battlefield, the fight had once again fallen into a stalemate!

The Mutant Beast and human side held a certain advantage, but after One-Eye had abandoned his post at the Demon Realm Gate, the surge of Demonic Creatures of various levels provided massive reinforcements for the remaining Demon Race forces on the battlefield!

Fortunately, there were no Demonic Creatures capable of standing against Little Dragon.

Under Little Dragon's berserk attacks, the Demon Race's position would eventually collapse!

This was a certainty; high-end combat power was the fundamental element that decided the outcome of a battle!

Black Robe ignored Little Dragon, who was excitedly waving its claws while standing atop a pile of Level 3 Demonic Creature corpses, and walked straight to the front of the Demon Realm Gate.

This battlefield seemed extremely dangerous, but for a Demonic Creature of Black Robe's caliber, as long as he avoided the few Level 3 Mutant Beasts, he could move through the entire area with impunity!

"My Lord."

A Level 3 Bull Demon that had just crawled out of the Demon Realm Gate bowed slightly to Black Robe and spoke respectfully.

"Mm."

Black Robe gave the Bull Demon a slight nod and then walked directly into the Demon Realm Gate!

This scene left the Bull Demon staring blankly!

The Demon Realm Gate functioned like a one-way teleportation array. It was very simple to invade Earth from the Demon Realm through the gate, but returning to the Demon Realm through it was incredibly difficult!

Setting aside the principles involved, the sheer amount of energy required just to reverse the destination of the teleportation array was immeasurable!

This was also to prevent counter-invasions by the natives of the worlds being invaded-something that had happened quite a few times when the Demon Realm first began its expansion!

"Oh, right!"

Before the Bull Demon could react, Black Robe's ugly head poked out from the Demon Realm Gate.

"My mission is complete. You guys carry on!"

After saying this, and before the Bull Demon could respond, Black Robe grabbed the Demon Realm Gate and pulled hard.

Accompanied by a piercing screech, the Demon Realm Gate…

Was closed!!!
