Without mentioning the desperate pursuit by Yan Tai Luo and others, or how Mu Yan narrowly escaped after saving Reynold, we find Arno, with a dark expression and tightly furrowed brows, galloping ahead towards the location where Reynold and the others were.
The commotion caused by the recent battle was immense, especially the final strike delivered by Reynold, which could almost rival the full force of a Level 4 Intermediate warrior. The lightning energy was known for its aggressive nature, and with Reynold exhausting his life potential, that strike, although blocked by the Spirit Shield, unleashed enough power to illuminate half the area with energy brilliance and arcs of thunder, drawing considerable attention from many Trialists.
The distance between Bu and the battlefield where Reynold was engaged was not too far. Therefore, upon witnessing the flashes of lightning, he immediately awakened from his meditative state. His heart tightened at the sight of the lightning, and without a moment's hesitation, he rose and rushed towards the source of the battle. Arno, still somewhat confused, followed along in a daze but managed to piece together some understanding after a brief moment of thought.
"Your speed is too slow; I'll go ahead!"
While racing forward, Bu suddenly frowned and then disregarded Arno's reaction. Activating Bloodline Transformation, Viscount Bloodwing unfurled abruptly, propelling him into the air like an arrow released from a bow. In just a few breaths, he vanished from sight.
"Huh? What?"
Arno stood there dumbfounded, instinctively halting his steps as he stared blankly in the direction Bu had disappeared. After a while, he remained speechless.
Bu could actually fly through the air; this was something Arno knew almost nothing about. It was his first time witnessing such a phenomenon, leaving him utterly astonished.
Although he had seen Bu use Step Nine to traverse through the air before, that was within a realm he could accept. After all, while such aerial techniques were exceedingly rare, they were not entirely unheard of. However, comparing Step Nine to what he had just seen was almost incomparable.
One was a temporary suspension in mid-air; the other was actual flight like a bird—no, even faster than a bird—akin to flying beasts above Intermediate level. The difference in speed and maneuverability was on an entirely different scale.
"Only High-Level Giants among warriors can master true flight," Arno groaned, feeling as if the entire world had turned absurd. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at this vast disparity between people. Was the gap truly this wide? Was this world really so unfair?
"Damn it!"
Unconsciously, Arno let out an expletive that Bu had just taught him.
After activating Bloodline Transformation, Viscount Bloodwing could cover nearly a hundred yards with each flap. At this speed, traversing several miles would take mere moments.
A terrifying Mental Power spread out as Bu flew through the air. He had an exceptionally clear perception of everything happening below him. Soon enough, an image formed in his mind. The moment this image appeared, Bu Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly as he dove down rapidly towards a pile of rubble below.
A roar erupted from his mouth; it sounded like a dragon's cry or tiger's roar, carrying an almost tangible sound wave that reverberated in all directions.
Mu Yan, who had been struggling to escape with Reynold through the rocky terrain, felt her body tremble at the sound of that roar. The tension in her heart suddenly eased as her beautiful eyes brightened. Reynold, who was being pulled along by her with strange threads behind him, also looked delighted and couldn't help but let out a long howl in response.
"What powerful energy fluctuations! Who is coming?" Yan Tai Luo and his companions pursued Reynold closely like leeches when they felt their hearts skip a beat. Almost instinctively slowing their pace out of curiosity, they looked up together at what lay ahead. The sight that met their eyes instantly left all four of them in shock.
"Is this person really Brent? What kind of secret technique is this?" The pale-faced man narrowed his eyes, and as he saw the figure descending, his mind buzzed.
He had seen Bu before, so despite the demonic appearance, he recognized him immediately. However, the pair of blood-red wings behind him were terrifying and grotesque; such a descent was something he had never witnessed before. He had never heard of any technique that could grant a person wings to fly.
"Hmph, there's no need to panic. Since this person dares to come here, it saves us the trouble of searching. With the precious gift from Lord Kaibo, we will surely be able to slay this scoundrel!"
As he spoke, Bu's figure was already close at hand. Perhaps it was due to Yan Tai Luo's high standing among the four, or perhaps it was the thought of the precious gift from Kaibo, but the other three were resolute in their hearts and charged forward without hesitation. As their energy erupted, various combat techniques were unleashed in an orderly fashion, not giving Bu a chance to take the initiative.
"Watch out!" As Bu approached and boldly confronted them without a word, Mu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but remind them in a delicate voice. She then abandoned Reynold and joined the fray with her unique threads dancing around her.
Having activated the second stage of Bloodline Transformation, how formidable was Bu's combat power?
This question quickly found its answer. In just the first encounter, with a thunderous boom, a terrifying surge of energy erupted. The three who faced Bu all changed color dramatically as their attacks were instantly shattered. Under Bu Qiang's fierce palm strike, they were forced to retreat violently, blood spraying from their mouths like fountains and splattering onto the ground.
"How can he be this strong?" Yan Tai Luo, who was about to follow up with a powerful attack, was taken aback. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead as he retreated without hesitation, feeling utterly shocked as if his heart would leap out of his throat.
Bu's gaze was cold and unyielding. From the moment he struck until now, his silence and strength left a deep impression on everyone present.
Not only were Yan Tai Luo and the others shocked; even Mu Yan widened her adorable mouth in disbelief, her beautiful eyes wide open in astonishment.
She knew of Bu's strength from the very beginning but only had a vague idea of how powerful he truly was. Now that she witnessed it firsthand, her understanding of his overwhelming power became clear: an invincible force!
Invincible at the same level! No one could stand in his way!
The shift in everyone's thoughts seemed slow but was merely a fleeting moment on the battlefield.
Seeing Yan Tai Luo retreat in fear, Bu remained unfazed. With a flap of his Blood Wings, his figure vanished from sight and reappeared before Yan Tai Luo, blocking his escape route while delivering a palm strike. A vast amount of Water Energy coalesced into what appeared to be dark clouds, making it impossible for anyone to evade!
The momentum! An invincible momentum surged as Bu struck again; this overwhelming aura threatened to crush everyone's fighting spirit. The first three attackers were not ordinary foes; they felt suffocated by this immense pressure emanating from Bu. At that moment, facing him directly, Yan Tai Luo was nearly paralyzed with fear; every hair on his body stood on end. Under this simple palm strike, he felt as if he were facing a High-Level Giant, completely stiffened and devoid of courage to retaliate.
"How can he be this strong?" Desperate, Yan Tai Luo unleashed his Spirit Shield. His thirty-two acupoints roared as all his energy converged into a protective barrier around him to resist the suffocating weight of Bu's presence.
He was terrified—an unprecedented fear. This was the strongest enemy he had ever faced so far, and this enemy stood at the same level as him: terrifying and monstrous!
Boom!
A hand, as solid as iron and heavy as Mount Tai, slammed down fiercely onto the suddenly appearing Spirit Shield. The raging Water Energy surged like a silver river cascading down, and the powerful impact sent the Spirit Shield flying back, crashing hard against Yan Tai Luo's chest.
If it weren't for the latter increasing the energy infusion into the Spirit Shield, causing a momentary pause in the impact, he would have certainly died on the spot. However, even so, the destruction caused by this strike still made Yan Tai Luo spit blood and fly backward, his face filled with terror, leaving no trace of hope behind.
"Run!"
The force that even the Spirit Shield could not withstand was far beyond what Yan Tai Luo had anticipated. Perhaps even Kaibo did not foresee that after bestowing a precious treasure, Yan Tai Luo and his three companions would be unable to last ten exchanges against Bu.
Having opened seventy-five Acupoints, Bu's overall combat strength was already comparable to a peak Intermediate Level 4 expert. After activating the second stage of Bloodline Transformation, his power surged to an astonishing level, nearly reaching a peak Intermediate Level 5 expert. Such strength was beyond what any Quasi-Advanced powerhouse could contend with; facing Yan Tai Luo and his companions was akin to crushing them.
Even if the opponents possessed precious treasures, in such a situation with a vast disparity in strength, Yan Tai Luo and his three companions could only consider whether they could escape from Bu's pursuit using the power of their treasures, rather than whether they could kill Bu.
Giving up on the trial qualification was not a choice anyone wanted to make. Those daring enough to participate in the Holy Light Trial were not cowards; none of them were weaklings—they were elites among their peers.
Moreover, with Yan Tai Luo and his companions' strength, even if they couldn't rank in the top ten among all newcomers, they could certainly secure a place in the top twenty. Such individuals would never willingly miss out on the opportunity of the trial or become stepping stones for others.
Thus, even though they were outmatched and could sense Bu's murderous intent, they chose to grit their teeth and attempt to escape rather than decisively crush the Guide Stone and abandon their chance at the trial.
