Chapter 1125: The Frustrated Pursuers

On the other side.

After Wang Jianqiang and the other three perceived that the five Sea Clan prodigies had increased their speed, they also accelerated their slaughter.

They deliberately maintained a speed equivalent to that of the five Sea Clan prodigies.

This also resulted in.

The distance between the two sides being kept at a fixed interval.

It did not widen, but it also never managed to narrow.

This situation continued for the better part of a day.

The complexions of the five Sea Clan prodigies had already turned completely livid.

"These four damned members of the Human Race are quite fast!"

"Hold on, there are five of us, while they only have four; we can wear them down to death."

"That's right, I want to see just how long they can hold out!"

Time kept passing.

In the blink of an eye.

The great battle had already lasted for two full days.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection Cultivator (Level 3 Artistic Conception), Primordial Spirit Origin Fragment +4, Artistic Conception Origin Fragment +3."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection Cultivator (Sixth Level Artistic Conception), Primordial Spirit Origin Fragment +4, Artistic Conception Origin Fragment +6."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection Cultivator (First-Tier Artistic Conception), Primordial Spirit Origin Fragment +4, Artistic Conception Origin Fragment +1."

During these two days.

In Wang Jianqiang's mind, the sound of system notifications had never ceased.

The Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments had already accumulated to over fifteen thousand.

As for the Artistic Conception Origin Fragments, the quantity had also exceeded ten thousand.

Moreover, they were still increasing at an astonishing speed.

This rate of increase made the corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth lift uncontrollably, and his mood was exceptionally bright.

Seeing the smile on Wang Jianqiang's face grow ever more intense.

Wen Ya, Long Er, and Liu Yanran were also very happy, and they became even more vigorous in their slaughter.

As for those five Sea Clan prodigies who were constantly pursuing them from behind.

Their mood was completely different from the four.

This kind of pursuit process, where one is kept at a certain distance—seeing a glimmer of hope yet never being able to close in—is the most tormenting.

Their patience had almost been completely exhausted.

All of their faces were as dark as water, and in everyone's eyes, it was as if scorching flames were burning.

As if they wanted to burn Wang Jianqiang and the other three to death with their rage!

"This cannot go on."

"They keep slaughtering the elites of my Sea Clan, while we can only passively follow and kill enemies along the way; in this way, my Sea Clan side is suffering too great a loss."

"We cannot let them continue this slaughter for so long."

A Sea Clan prodigy saw Wang Jianqiang kill another Level 7 Artistic Conception cultivator, and after a cold glint flashed in their eyes, they spoke coldly.

Hearing this person's words, the other four Sea Clan prodigies nodded one after another.

"Next, there is no need to deliberately seek to kill enemies along the way; we only need to shake them off."

"We must increase our speed to the limit, catch up to those four Youzhou prodigies as quickly as possible, and slaughter them!"

The five of them instantly reached a consensus.

This was not because they were compassionate.

It was because they all came from the Sea Giant Clan.

The Sea Giant Clan was the main force attacking the Eight Continents this time.

Many of the elites in the Sea Clan army came from their clan.

This also meant that nearly half of the Sea Clan cultivators who died at Wang Jianqiang's hands were members of the Sea Giant Clan.

How could they endure this?

If things continued like this, even if they could eventually kill these four people.

The losses these four had caused the Sea Giant Clan would be very difficult to remedy.

In the time that followed.

The five of them followed the strategy they had formulated and continued their pursuit.

Along the way, they avoided taking action whenever possible, putting as much strength and energy as they could into the pursuit.

Even when encountering obstacles, they only chose to repel or bypass them in the most time-saving and effortless way.

As a result.

The speed of the five instantly surged to the limit.

However.

The scene the five had envisioned—of rapidly closing the distance with the four Youzhou prodigies—did not appear.

Because they discovered.

After they increased their speed, the speed of Wang Jianqiang and the other three also increased accordingly.

It was still maintained at a level equivalent to their own.

Keeping them unable to get close, yet not being shaken off.

Moreover, unlike the speed they had only gained by giving up on killing enemies, those four people, while "fleeing," had not only not given up on slaughter.

Their slaughter speed was instead even faster.

The five people stared fixedly at those four figures, their complexions all turning leaden.

By now, they had already realized what was happening.

Although those four Youzhou prodigies were of the same cultivation level as them, they were all extremely skilled in speed.

They had not been intending to flee at all before, but were deliberately stringing them along...

Letting them chase from behind, watching with their own eyes as the Cultivators on their side fell one by one!

Thinking of this.

A sense of shame and anger at being toyed with almost drowned out their reason.

"Everyone, do not let anger cloud your minds!"

Just at this moment, among the five Sea Giant prodigies, one seemed to have thought of something; with a start, the rage in their eyes instantly dissipated.

They reminded their four companions in a deep voice, "They must know they cannot contend with the five of us, which is why they are using this method, all to make us lose our reason."

"So that they can find an opportunity to defeat us."

"After all, contending with five enemies who have lost their reason is much simpler than contending with five calm enemies."

Hearing their companion's analysis, the other four Sea Giant Cultivators immediately realized the truth.

"That's right, it must be so!"

"How cunning these humans are, we almost fell for their trap!"

The other four Sea Giant prodigies' eyes flashed with lingering fear at the same time.

Immediately after, the four looked at the companion who had reacted first, whose face was full of wisdom, "What should we do next? Give up for now or continue?"

"Of course we must continue!"

That Sea Giant prodigy with a face full of wisdom sneered, "They are the same as us, both at the Level 8 Artistic Conception cultivation realm."

"At the same level, my Sea Clan's Spiritual Power reserves naturally hold the advantage."

"What's more, we do not fight the enemy along the way, while they have chosen to slaughter, consuming even more."

"As long as we continue the pursuit, the ones who will be the first to fail to hold on will definitely be them!"

"It's just that..."

"Our strategy of wanting to reduce the casualties of the Sea Clan elite will likely come to nothing."

Hearing this, the other four shook their heads, "This is also something that cannot be helped."

"Since that is the case, then let us continue."

The speed of the five people, who were communicating via voice transmission, did not decrease in the slightest, as they kept trailing far behind Wang Jianqiang and the other three.

And the slaughter by Wang Jianqiang and the other three continued without pause.

When the time reached the third day after the battle began.

The five prodigies of the Sea Giant race were already beginning to doubt their own lives.

Right under their noses, those four Youzhou prodigies were still wantonly slaughtering while bursting with speed.

Their use of Spiritual Power was complete squandering.

Under such circumstances, they had actually been fighting for three whole days.

Yet...

Even they themselves were almost running low on Spiritual Power, but those four were still full of vigor.

It was as if they had no consumption at all!
