Chapter 666: Breaking Out

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

To fly over boundless sea was dull. The view never changed. Only things in sight were the sky and the water with the occasional presence of small islands.

Flying constantly required physical and mental strength. For Human Sovereign Realm warriors this requirement should be nothing and the fatigue should bear little influence.

But Hu Lang was worn out!

This was because he felt he was constantly being tailed and he couldn't lose them. This was an odd feeling. It was strange but real.

He tried to change his course several times and yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake off this feeling. The sense of being tailed kept occurring in his mind.

Ahead of him was the Sea of Silence. After spending so many years at the Clouds Plains, he knew this region all too well. The area was also known as the Sea of Doom with the sheer number of Beast Kings. It was highly likely for Hu Lang to encounter a Beast King at any time.

But the area extended further beyond and Hu Lang couldn't have gone around it unless he changed his direction to the east, south or the west instead of the north.

However, that was a choice he was afraid to make. The other sides were all the more dangerous. To the east was the Clouds Plains. It might seem to be the safest option but Hu Lang believed that whoever was behind all this would not let him or Lu Li back to the Clouds Plains.

To the west was the Central Plains, which would be the jaws of death to them. Their pursuers were coming from the south. Apart from the north, there was no other way to go.

Hu Lang looked at Lu Li on his back. Lu Li seemed to have recovered a bit but he was still in a coma. He had been in this state for three days and two nights. He must be wounded very seriously.

"Roar~"

Four hours later, Hu Lang heard a loud noise coming from beneath the surface. Tides raged on as a huge tail whooshed out toward Hu Lang and Lu Li.

Hu Lang knew that the Sea of Silence had many Beast Kings but he didn't expect to see one so soon. Hu Lang took out his axe, swung it and generated a phantom beast that pressed downward.

"Boom!"

The phantom and the tail bumped into each other. Hu Lang hacked the tail off. The shock pressed into the waters and the rough sea was like in a tsunami.

"Move!"

Hu Lang rushed up. He flew on without making any stops or lingering on to fight with the Beast King.

"Swish~"

Before he made it far enough, another huge tail swung at him amid tides and waves from behind. This time, there was not enough time for Hu Lang to use Profound Meaning. He hacked the axe backwards.

"Bang~"

With a clank, the force upon impact knocked Hu Lang away. His arm hurt so much that he almost lost grip on the axe. On the other hand, leveraging the force, Hu Lang sped up and made a run for it.

"Whoosh~"

The Beast King was at his heels. Like a whip used by a god, the huge tail smashed up and down, knocking Hu Lang away again and again. He had no other choice but to fight back with his best efforts. Before he entered the Sea of Silence, he had already prepared for being hunted down by Beast Kings constantly.

There was no way out. Hu Lang had to make an effort to run for his and Lu Li's lives. He was pursued by the Beast King for several hours and his chest was tainted red with the blood he spilled out. Finally, he managed to get rid of the Beast King.

"Oh no!"

Hu Lang put on a ghastly smile when he noticed the turmoil in the waters ahead of him. He understood now that he didn't actually get rid of the Beast King. As a matter of fact, he and Lu Li were going to be chased down by another as they had entered the territory of a new Beast King.

"Young Master Li, wake up. I don't think I can hold out any longer!"

Wiping the blood off his mouth, Hu Lang murmured. He had to move forward. Now that he had entered the Sea of Silence, there was no other way than running for their lives.

"Swish~"

A few seconds later, Hu Lang saw the waters down below shot out in shapes of arrows. He felt the arrows were so real and they were coming at him from all directions. Each arrow contained with such horrible energy and travelled in a speed that was not slower compared to his Xuan Energy attacks.

Down below, was a Beast King that understood the ways of waters.

Hu Lang felt frustrated. This one must be difficult to get rid of compared to the last one. Being in the sea could lend more power to the Beast King's abilities of utilizing the waters.

"Hoy~"

Swinging his axe to his sides, Hu Lang cut off those arrows of water in an attempt to break out. He tried to shield Lu Li from the impact with his own body but with that, more blood was spilling out.

Two hours, four hours…

Once again, Hu Lang made it. No more water arrows were coming from behind him and yet he didn't feel any relaxed.

Leaving the territory of this Beast King meant that he was stepping into another Beast King's lair. He didn't know how long he could keep it up. More importantly…he felt pursuing forces were getting closer and closer.

"Young Master Li, wake up or we will both die at the Sea of Silence."

Hu Lang landed on a small island. He took two healing pellets and checked on Lu Li. Hu Lang kept sighing.

Say Lu Li could regain consciousness. Could they make it out then?

This idea made Hu Lang sink into despair. What could Lu Li do when he wakes up? Would they be able to face their pursuing enemies? Hu Lang might be able to stay behind to stall their enemies but would the wounded Lu Li go past the Sea of Silence and survive so many Beast Kings?

After a while of rest, Hu Lang sensed the enemies were approaching. He had no choice but to keep on flying.

"Let's hope the Beast Kings upfront are not so powerful."

Hu Lang prayed to himself. He used psychic power to check into the sea while he flew as high as possible. Black clouds gathered overhead and lightning were generated. The higher he flew, the more danger he would encounter. Yet the risky way was the only way now.

"Bang~"

With a splash, a huge dark shadow emerged from the waters. Hu Lang took a look and almost jumped out of his skin. There was a huge sea lion breaking out from the sea to pursue them.

That was one beautiful blue sea lion. It had aqua blue scales all over its body and blue spikes from its head to its tail which was particularly long with a hook at the end. In its bell-like eyes wore such coldness that they were terrifying.

The blue sea lion was more than 1000 feet in length. Hu Lang and Lu Li when compared to it were like mosquitos to an adult. The difference in size made Hu Lang felt surprised and jittering and the power of the Beast King suffocated him.

"Roar~"

The blue sea lion opened its bloody mouth and let out a shocking roar just like Lu Li's Dragon Roar skill. It was so loud that Hu Lang felt his eardrums hurt. Even space wrinkled at the roar. A fierce gale sprang up, knocking Hu Lang away.

"Eh~"

Lu Li was startled with this roar. He opened his eyes feebly. He saw himself on Hu Lang's back and he was hurt by the beast. Blood was seeping out from Hu Lang's mouth. He was pale and his eyes were lifeless. Lu Li knew how much Hu Lang had endured during the past days.

Looking at the beast, Lu Li thought for the time for two breaths. Then, he patted Hu Lang's shoulder and said, "Okay, Hu Lang. I will deal with the Beast King. You can take a break now."

"Young Master Li, are you awake?"

Hu Lang was surprised. He was delighted at first but soon he shook his head and said, "Young Master Li, now that you are awake, run. Now. Our enemies are almost here. I will stall the Beast King and then our enemies. If you are lucky, you can make it back to the Clouds Plains."
