Free Web NovelChapter 1984: Chapter 1984: Direction, Overlord City
Because Murong Jianyun’s sword blocked the Thunderstorm Roar Beast for a moment, they had now let the latter fall far behind.
But with the speed of the Split Armor Flying Scorpion and Sikong Jing as Man and Horse as One, holding on for two more hours is the limit, so only if Murong Jianyun can recover, they can continue to accelerate with the power of the Holy Martial Stage.
Then there is a possibility to shake off the Nu Ming Beast.
And of course Murong Jianyun understood this, but recovering wasn’t something that could be done in an instant.
At this time, Sikong Jing noticed Murong Jianyun’s predicament.
He said, "Don’t worry, my Duoye Seal can help you recover a bit in a quarter of an hour. By then, it won’t be easy for the Nu Ming Beast to catch up to us."
In response, Old Fat Head exhaled slightly, and Murong Jianyun’s eyes gleamed brightly.
After recovering a bit in a quarter of an hour, he would be able to accelerate, preventing the Thunderstorm Roar Beast from catching up so quickly. Then Sikong Jing could also use the Duoye Seal to continue to boost his vitality and continuously recover his injuries.
The speed of escape would also get faster and faster...
In other words, as long as they could hold on for more time, Murong Jianyun would have more time to recover.
Sikong Jing continued, "Now what we need to decide is which direction to go."
If they were caught, it was still very possible, so direction was crucial now...
Upon hearing this, Murong Jianyun responded softly, "In just about two hours, Beicang and Xi Tu can gather Overlord Commerce’s forces. Then we can use the Overlord Army to deal with the Nu Ming Beast..."
Two hours, they could easily hold out.
But Sikong Jing frowned and slowly asked, "Great Heaven Decision, how are the recoveries of Beicang Tianjue and Xi Tu Heavenly Technique?"
As his voice fell, Murong Jianyun’s expression became slightly rigid.
Only about a day had passed since dealing with Pei Chang, so of course the two Heavenly Decision Makers were still very weak.
It’s known that both Xi Tu and Beicang were nearly killed previously.
If it weren’t for their greatly reduced battle power, how else could Ye Wushen and Pei Yupo have easily broken through and escaped earlier in Nankao City?
Seeing Murong Jianyun’s expression, Sikong Jing immediately understood and continued speaking...
"Given the current situation of Great Heaven Decision and the two Heavenly Decisions, even after gathering the Overlord Army and forming the Soldier Killing Array in two hours, it’s almost impossible to take down the Thunderstorm Roar Beast."
"Many people might even be killed, and we don’t need to make any sacrifices for this right now."
"If the goal is merely for our escape, sacrificing too many people isn’t worth it."
Sikong Jing’s analysis made Murong Jianyun sigh internally...
Since they couldn’t take down the Thunderstorm Roar Beast, gathering the army would be unnecessary and would only lead to more deaths.
Especially since Pei Yusheng insisted on killing Sikong Jing, it would be another brutal battle.
Of course, if it was just about escaping from the Thunderstorm Roar Beast’s pursuit, this would be the best direction... But clearly, Sikong Jing didn’t want to cause too many deaths, so they needed to consider if there were other ways or directions.
"Then, head towards Willow Leaf City..."
Old Fat Head suddenly suggested, "Willow Leaf City has Ye Wuzhi and Shi Douxing. At that time, we could have Beicang and Xi Tu flank with their troops... No, the speed definitely won’t be fast enough."
They could escape to Willow Leaf City, but Beicang and Xi Tu with their troops definitely wouldn’t be fast enough to flank.
Bringing troops can’t be fast.
So the situation remained the same, even if Ye Wuzhi and Shi Douxing brought troops, they couldn’t kill the Thunderstorm Roar Beast, and many people might die, and the Thunderstorm Roar Beast might destroy innocent people of Willow Leaf City in rage, etc.
This was also not worthwhile and not what Sikong Jing wanted.
Old Fat Head twitched his lips and could only look at Sikong Jing again, "This won’t do, and that won’t do. So where should they escape to?"
Sikong Jing continued pondering...
Then he looked up and asked, "Great Heaven Decision, if you were at 50% of your strength, could you take down the Thunderstorm Roar Beast?"
Murong Jianyun wasn’t new to the Holy Martial Stage; he had taken a step or two in it, while the Thunderstorm Roar Beast was just entering the stage, so at 50% strength, there was a chance of winning.
In response, Murong Jianyun shook his head and replied, "I can’t take it down, but it certainly can’t take me down either."
The implication was that at 50% strength, he could fight the Thunderstorm Roar Beast to a draw...
Nodding, Sikong Jing asked again, "In five days, can you recover to 50% of your strength?"
The answer to this question was that it would be very difficult, even with Sikong Jing’s Duoye Seal, but 40% might be achievable.
Hearing Murong Jianyun’s answer, Sikong Jing suddenly murmured to himself, "About five days, recover to 40% strength."
As he spoke, he paused and then looked back at the Thunderstorm Roar Beast closely chasing them. Suddenly, Sikong Jing’s eyes sharpened and he said firmly, "Alright, then our next direction is... Overlord City."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jianyun was stunned; with his current speed and state, he certainly couldn’t hold out until reaching Overlord City.
It’s known that even at full speed, it would take him a full ten days to reach Overlord City, not the five days Sikong Jing mentioned.
As if knowing what Murong Jianyun was thinking...
Sikong Jing continued, "No need for ten days, just as I mentioned earlier, five or six days will suffice."
At these words, Murong Jianyun suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "Space Transmission?"
He had almost forgotten that Sikong Jing also had the Space Holy Key.
But these four words made Sikong Jing twitch his lips slightly, then explained that the Holy Space Holy Key couldn’t be used for now.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any need for such trouble; they could simply transmit and run away.
Of course, this made Murong Jianyun dizzy; so what’s the situation with reaching Overlord City in five or six days?
"Not reaching Overlord City, but in the direction of Overlord City."
Then, Sikong Jing explained: "When I was chasing Feng Leibao, I used your message bird to send information to Overlord City."
As his voice fell, Murong Jianyun widened his eyes and said, "Dark Winged Dragon Eagle?"
Nodding heavily, Sikong Jing said, "Yes, the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle."
"It’s on its way from Overlord City to Willow Leaf City, and as long as we head in the direction of Overlord City, we can meet it in five or six days, and then naturally deal with the Thunderstorm Roar Beast."
Previously, Sikong Jing had asked him for a few message birds carrying the Great Heaven Decision orders.
It was to notify the Holy Martial Stage Dark Winged Dragon Eagle to assist Su Yuexi in case of trouble.
But wasn’t Su Yuexi’s side already out of trouble? Why did he still notify it?
It’s known that it was best for the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle to stay in Overlord City now.
Who knows if Pei Kuang would immediately send strong individuals to take this opportunity to attack Overlord City?
In response, Sikong Jing replied with eyes gleaming, "Pei Kuang won’t attack Overlord City at this time; he’s not aware enough of the situation in the battle at Willow Leaf City, so he surely won’t act rashly."
"So don’t worry..."
"Originally, I notified the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle to come to Willow Leaf City to intimidate and subdue the Black Lightning Dragon, and then seize a top-notch Emperor Demon Dragon. But Pei Yusheng beat me to it."
