The suitable location seemed impossible to find.
Li Zhonglou's mood instantly turned anxious. Elder An's words meant that the only method of escape now was feigning death!
But this required a suitable place to be effective, such as the edge of a cliff, the seaside, or even a cave with similarly complex terrain.
Only then could he completely escape the opponent's lock!
But where could he find such a place now?
Within the bottle space at this moment, a group of souls were jointly transmitting power outwards, but the consumption was immense. Old Lin, who was the first to volunteer, only lasted less than three minutes before retreating.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. This is practically draining the body dry! Moreover, Xiao Li hasn't absorbed enough remnant souls, so we're all going to be finished this time..."
Although there were quite a few experts present, requiring ten people to go at once was too much. Rotating through them, they couldn't last long!
"Let's just try to hold on first. Even if we sacrifice ourselves like this, at least we can reincarnate. If Xiao Li is killed by someone else first, then we won't even have a chance to reincarnate."
Cai Hong sighed. He had interacted with Li Zhonglou before and quite liked his character. His words also contained a touch of personal interest.
Old Lin naturally had his own, but he was more familiar with Li Zhonglou and thus acted more casually.
At this moment, Elder An's voice suddenly rang out: "Everyone, put in more effort. This is the last chance. If Xiao Li can't find a suitable place, and you don't want to disappear from this world like this, just use up all your power."
In fact, this method was another option that Elder An had provided for everyone.
Although the condition for reincarnation was simple – just to deplete one's soul power – in reality, they couldn't consume their own soul power.
Under normal circumstances, without soul fusion with Li Zhonglou, or if soul fusion happened first and then soul power leaked, they wouldn't be able to consume their soul power!
This was why they had been trapped in the beast-fighting arena for hundreds of years.
And the method Elder An had devised at this moment gave them an additional choice.
If Li Zhonglou truly had no other options, everyone present could, during this last chance, inject all their soul power into Li Zhonglou's body, thereby fulfilling the condition for reincarnation!
However, until that point, everyone naturally wouldn't choose to do so lightly.
In reality.
The man continued to follow at a leisurely pace. The thirty seconds he had promised earlier had long passed, but he had no intention of leaving.
"This guy must have some kind of treasure! I want to see what his limit is."
The man's mood had also changed. Initially, he had only a trace of curiosity and a playful thought towards Li Zhonglou. After all, it was quite surprising for someone at the sixth level to dare to track him these days.
To be able to live past the fifth level, it could be said directly that there were no fools. If they were truly foolish, they definitely wouldn't have reached this stage!
That was why the man had made the thirty-second promise, wanting to tease this human genius.
Of course, he would kill him in the end. Black creatures and humans were like that.
However, after that punch, the man's thoughts had shifted from curiosity to anticipation.
The more outrageous Li Zhonglou behaved, the more excited he became!
Firstly, he could explore the secrets behind it, and secondly, he could personally eliminate such a monstrous human genius. The mere thought of such a thing could make one's blood boil.
The man licked his lips. Although he could have immediately pursued, he deliberately lagged behind, precisely to stimulate Li Zhonglou's survival instinct further.
However, this indirectly gave Li Zhonglou time.
The scenery around them constantly changed. Their speed had already reached a terrifying level; a distance of a thousand meters was covered almost in the blink of an eye.
Yet, despite this, the surrounding scenery had not changed much, and the person behind him had always remained within a hundred meters.
In a short while, Li Zhonglou saw a blue light.
"What is that..."
Soon, Li Zhonglou recalled someone's explanation: the safe zone. Since this area existed, there must be a boundary outside it. Li Zhonglou quickly realized that the blue light he saw should be the edge of the safe zone.
At the same time, he finally saw a completely different terrain.
"Is it a cliff?"
After he passed through a patch of dense grass, the view ahead suddenly became much wider.
At the same time, he discovered a deep沟 at the edge of the blue light. The terrain on the opposite side was completely different from this side! All that met his eyes were gray stones and a few scattered green plants.
"Xiao Li, jump directly, leave the rest to me!"
Elder An instantly understood that this was the best opportunity because he saw the cold air rising from the deep沟 in Li Zhonglou's vision.
Only the abyss had such a phenomenon!
The man behind, still unaware of this, muttered: "This is already a dead end, isn't it? Bring out any other tricks you have."
The man was not worried that Li Zhonglou would jump down directly. With his strength, as long as Li Zhonglou dared to do so, he could catch him mid-air!
This was something every cultivator knew instinctively, because people in mid-air could not borrow force, and it was precisely at this moment that strength was paramount.
And there was a natural difference between those below the seventh level and those above the seventh level: aerial flight.
This was not a scene that only existed in novels. When Li Zhonglou and his companions first saw a Sword Master, the latter was floating in the air.
As for the intricacies, Li Zhonglou had not yet experienced them and did not know, but this did not negate their actual existence.
This meant that if Li Zhonglou truly dared to jump, unable to borrow force, he would be his trapped prey, to be manipulated at will!
However, what the man did not expect was that when Li Zhonglou reached the edge, he indeed leaped forward without hesitation, plunging straight down!
"Doesn't this guy know that people above the seventh level can fly?"
A look of confusion flashed across the man's face, but it quickly turned into a cold smile.
"Could this guy really be some kind of reckless fool?"
He dared to track an opponent above the seventh level, and now he made such a choice. Putting all this together, Li Zhonglou indeed fit the description of a reckless fool.
The man chuckled, then came to the edge of the abyss.
Just as he was about to catch the person and interrogate him, he was stunned to find that Li Zhonglou had disappeared below the abyss!
"That's not right! Why has his aura also disappeared!"
The man's expression suddenly changed. It was only now that he realized something was wrong. The aura he had locked onto steadily a second ago had now completely vanished!
