Chapter 1344: The Human Emperor's Pursuit (Second update, requesting everything)

This time, no matter how good the Human Emperor's self-restraint was, he was so angry he was nearly driven mad.

Li Zhangsheng had ruined his plans once again; not only did he prevent the Human Emperor from finishing off Wendi in one fell swoop, but he also caused the fall of Aidi and severely damaged the combat power of the Phoenix Emperor. How could he not be furious?

This series of flashy maneuvers by Li Zhangsheng had directly severed his left and right arms, and had also exerted a huge negative impact on his next strategic move.

Furthermore, Li Zhangsheng's potential was too great; if he were allowed to continue growing, the consequences would be unimaginable.

No matter what, the Human Emperor did not want to let Li Zhangsheng go. With a movement of the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, the void shattered, and the Human Emperor tore through space to pursue him frantically.

Although the two-legged Golden Crow was fast, it was ultimately not a three-legged Golden Crow, and it was only at the Demon Emperor Level, so it was normal for the Human Emperor to catch up.

However, Li Zhangsheng was not without methods to deal with this.

The Chi Dragon had already shrunk to the size of a small snake and was coiled around Li Zhangsheng's right hand. Together with Li Zhangsheng, it influenced the nearby space, and while disrupting the space, it was also strengthening the spatial barriers.

Even though the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag could still easily tear through space, it would ultimately take a little bit of time. In that little bit of time, the two-legged Golden Crow might have already flown more than ten miles.

The Human Emperor pursued relentlessly. After discovering Li Zhangsheng's intention, he had originally wanted to appear on Li Zhangsheng's route a step ahead.

However, Li Zhangsheng would have the two-legged Golden Crow change direction from time to time, stubbornly preventing the Human Emperor from succeeding; it seemed as if Li Zhangsheng could sense the Human Emperor's position.

In reality, that was not the case. Li Zhangsheng relied on the Great Deduction Technique combined with the burning Luck Incense Candle in his hand, causing the Human Emperor to fall short of success.

Having failed repeatedly, the Human Emperor had to abandon the idea of "waiting for the rabbit," and he also stopped using the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, immediately summoning the Demon Emperor-level Feilian to pursue Li Zhangsheng.

Feilian was a rare Wind Attribute Divine Beast, famous for its speed. The Human Emperor's Feilian was at the Demon Emperor Level and of Legendary Quality; even if the two-legged Golden Crow used Lihuo Changhong, it was still a grade inferior in terms of speed.

During the chase, the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening. Li Zhangsheng estimated that the Human Emperor would be able to catch up in less than a minute.

In the process of the chase, the two-legged Golden Crow finally flew out of the Mucang Empire, but there was less than five miles left between it and the Human Emperor.

It was also at this moment that Li Zhangsheng could faintly sense two massive, unmasked auras in the distance, rapidly approaching, one of which was quite familiar.

Needless to say, these were the auras of Wendi and Wudi.

They did not have a Teleportation Array to the Central Region in their hands and could at most teleport between the Eastern Region and the Central Region. Now, they were still thousands of miles away from Li Zhangsheng; to rendezvous with Li Zhangsheng, it would take at least two or three minutes.

Li Zhangsheng's expression was not panicked, and he took the initiative to transmit his voice to the Human Emperor behind him: "Human Emperor, Wendi and Wudi will be here soon. Do you really want to risk your life fighting me?"

"You have obstructed my grand plan again and again. Even if I have to pay a huge price, I must take your life."

The Human Emperor's tone was ruthless. Li Zhangsheng's threat was truly too great; he even elevated Li Zhangsheng to the same level as the Blood Emperor and the Xuan Emperor.

"That remains to be seen!"

Li Zhangsheng deliberately spread his hands, his left hand holding the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown, and his right hand gripping a Jade Bottle, with a label on it reading "Future Sumeru Pill."

Compared to before, there was an extra crack on the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown. The entire crown looked rather dilapidated, giving one the feeling that it could be used at most one or two more times.

Li Zhangsheng admitted that his strength was indeed inferior to the Human Emperor's, and the gap was not small. After all, the Human Emperor not only possessed two Demon Emperor-level Divine Beasts on the surface, but crucially, his Demon Pets were almost all of Legendary Quality. If one also counted the differences in physical strength, Strange Treasures, and Grotto-Heavens, even with Ning Bizhen and the elderly Bai Ze, he could not be his opponent.

But if he used the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown + Future Sumeru Pill, even if he couldn't completely offset the gap, it would at least be much smaller, and at the very least, he could hold out until the arrival of Wendi and Wudi.

However, it was best not to use them if possible.

For one, the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown was difficult to sustain, and for another, there were the side effects of the Future Sumeru Pill.

Although Wendi and Wudi were teammates, and Li Zhangsheng had saved their lives, human hearts were unpredictable, and Li Zhangsheng did not want to pin his hopes on them.

Actually, there was another way, which was the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique, but just like the Future Sumeru Pill, it was best not to use it if possible.

Seeing these two items, the Human Emperor's expression changed slightly, but he did not give up his intention to pursue.

The reason was simple: the Human Emperor, who possessed the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, had almost no worries.

In the blink of an eye, only a few hundred meters remained between the Human Emperor and Li Zhangsheng, and they had already entered attack range.

"Attack!"

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, Bai Tian, Hei Ye, Kailan, and other small-sized Demon Pets launched long-range attacks one after another.

Li Zhangsheng had the Gate of Light and Darkness above his head, and his hands were not idle either; Ullr's Bow fired three arrows in an instant, attacking the Human Emperor or the Feilian beneath him in a triangular formation.

At this time, the Human Emperor summoned the Demon Emperor-level Chongming Bird, the Demon Emperor-level Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Demon Emperor-level Bifang, and the Demon Emperor-level Ice Luan to jointly defend against the offensive.

Ding! Dang! Dang!

The Human Emperor held the Ruyi Spear and shook out a spear flower, knocking all three arrows away.

This wave of attacks hardly achieved the effect of obstruction.

"Grow, grow, grow!"

As the Human Emperor's voice rang out, the Ruyi Spear rapidly grew larger, turning into over a hundred meters long, and smashed down straight.

The entire space emitted a sound of being unable to bear the burden, and gray, hazy spatial cracks appeared; the power of the Ruyi Spear could be imagined.

The Ruyi Spear came too fast, and Li Zhangsheng hurriedly released the Eleven-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform and the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda to jointly defend.

The Ruyi Spear first landed on the Starlight Barrier, and after a pause, it forcefully broke through, finally being barely neutralized by the defense formed by the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

As a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer, the quality of the Human Emperor's Mental Power was better, so the power exerted by his Strange Treasures was stronger; furthermore, the rank of the Ruyi Spear was above that of the Eleven-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform and the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

Well, this refers to the incomplete Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

Li Zhangsheng secretly said it was a close call; he knew he couldn't go on like this and had to make up his mind.

However, fighting the Human Emperor head-on was a bad strategy, so Li Zhangsheng prepared to use the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array to delay time.

Of course, the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array in its normal state was of little use; it might not even be able to hold out for ten seconds.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng chose to use an abnormal Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array. Although doing so would result in a great loss, it was still better than fighting the Human Emperor head-on; after all, fighting head-on was too dangerous, and no one could guarantee safety, especially the safety of his Demon Pets.

For Li Zhangsheng, losing any one of his main Demon Pets would make his heart ache so much he couldn't breathe; after all, these Demon Pets were the guarantee that he could stand at the top of the pyramid.

There was no help for it; he was not an Emperor, and he could not contract Demon Emperor-level Spirit Beasts. The more main Demon Pets he lost, the more severe the shrinkage of his strength would appear.
