Chapter263 Rub, rub!
Shi Xiaobai was actually feeling extremely nervous. Although he was trying to calm himself down as much as he could and he had successfully deceived the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, Sunless and company were still in constant danger. He could not guarantee that the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign did not have a bloodthirsty nature. Even a 1% chance was a risk Shi Xiaobai found too much!
That was risking his partners' lives!
If the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign demanded for Holy Radiance, he would have exchanged it for his partners' safety without another word.
However, what the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign wanted was the golden holy sword in which the sword spirit loli resided.
Shi Xiaobai could easily part with the golden holy sword just like Holy Radiance, but the loli was a life that Shi Xiaobai could not selfishly give away.
Hence, Shi Xiaobai finally chose to use a risky method that needed both wisdom and courage!
And this moment was the most critical juncture!
Shi Xiaobai's hands kneaded the icy-blue light blob at a very fast speed. Slowly, the light blob began to take the shape Shi Xiaobai wanted!
"It's done!"
Shi Xiaobai had completed the design he had in his mind very quickly. A pair of icy-blue shoes had appeared in his hands!
Shi Xiaobai quickly took off his shoes and wore the pair of icy-blue shoes!
At this moment, a figure was charging towards him from a distance away. It stopped not far away from Shi Xiaobai.
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign had caught up!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign had a derisive look in its eyes when it saw Shi Xiaobai motionless. It barked, "Have you given up?"
Shi Xiaobai gave the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign a look of despise and said softly, "Naive. This King felt that having a thirty second head start is being too browbeat against a dog. So This King stopped to wait for you."
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign scorned, "In terms of boasting ability, you are the best human This Sovereign has ever seen. With that speed that is no different from a turtle's crawl, This Sovereign..."
Before the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign finished its words, it suddenly saw Shi Xiaobai turn around. His right foot gently rubbed against the ground!
Just a slight rub, caused electric bolts to spark beneath Shi Xiaobai's feet. His entire being bolted forward like lightning. In a blink of an eye, he had traversed a distance of more than a kilometer. The speed was almost as fast as lightning!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign stared with widened eyes. An anthropomorphic expression of disbelief appeared on its dog face.
How could he be so fast?
How could he be this quick!?
Shi Xiaobai turned his head and shouted at the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, "What do you think of This King's speed that is like a turtle's crawl?"
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign suddenly felt its dog face burn. It immediately shot at Shi Xiaobai like a cannon.
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's speed was also very fast and it nearly traversed the kilometer in a few seconds. However, just as it was about to catch up to Shi Xiaobai, Shi Xiaobai's left foot rubbed against the ground gently!
The rubbing generated electric currents. The electric bolts that appeared beneath his feet were like icy-blue pixies. Shi Xiaobai bolted forward once again. Again, with an incredible speed, it left the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign in the dust.
Motherfucking electricity-generating friction!
This wasn't scientific!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign roared and chased once again with sonic speeds.
Shi Xiaobai rubbed his feet once again, and pulled away again with lightning speed!
How could the speed of sound compare to the speed of lightning?
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign noticed that it could not chase up to Shi Xiaobai. What was most exasperating was that Shi Xiaobai would leisurely stop and wait for it to chase up whenever he opened up a gap. Every time it was about to touch him, a gentle rub was enough to open a despairing distance between them.
After failing several times, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign did not immediately chase him again. Instead, it stopped and looked at Shi Xiaobai's feet with stunned disbelief and indignation. It exclaimed, "What are those shoes?"
Shi Xiaobai turned around and gave a lofty glance and said arrogantly, "These are This King's skating shoes!"
To be precise, they were skating shoes constructed out of Mu Yuesheng's superpower. It was a pair of skating shoes that had the power of lightning in them!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign had an inexplicable change of expression. This was because it had never heard the term skating shoes. However, from its point of view, the pair of shoes had to be a divine artifact. Not only did this human possess a holy sword, he even possessed such an awesome divine artifact known as skating shoes!
The greed in the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's eyes turned more intense. However, it did not immediately take action because it had realized that there was no way for it to catch up!
Shi Xiaobai lightly laughed and said, "Have you given up? In terms of boasting ability, you are the best dog This King has ever seen."
When the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign heard this, it let out an angry bellow and rushed forward once again!
Shi Xiaobai turned his head and rubbed his foot once more. Immediately, he appeared a kilometer away.
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign gnashed its teeth in anger. It felt that this was the most embarrassing moment it had ever experienced in its life. Suddenly, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign saw a forest in front!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's eyes lit up immediately. According to its observations, the human would only run straight every time. The spots he stopped at were a result of different heights or because he needed to make a turn. And at this moment, the forest was an obstacle that made it impossible for him to dash in a straight line!
The chance was here!
"Your good luck ends here!"
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign fumed with a roar. It chased after Shi Xiaobai as though it was insane!
It had to be said that the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's observation was done very meticulously. Its guess was very accurate. If it were Mu Yuesheng's 'Lightning Flashstep', there was indeed a need for her to run in a straight line. She would only be able to lament at her inadequacy against a forest with obstacles that lined the area.
However, Shi Xiaobai had long seen through this. He had figured out that it was insufficient to only run in straight lines in a mountain!
Hence...he had constructed skating shoes!
Shi Xiaobai charged towards the forest at lightning speed and just as he was about to collide with the first tree, he suddenly rubbed his foot gently. He abruptly stopped the forward momentum he had!
Shi Xiaobai did not stop but slightly changed his angle. With another rub, he shot forward. With another rub, he would immediately stop as though he had jammed on car brakes!
Shi Xiaobai was still somewhat unfamiliar at the beginning, but after a few seconds, he slowly became adept at it. He constantly rubbed his feet and would at times, charge forward like lightning, or at other times stop and change his direction. He was able to dart through the forest, which was filled with obstacles, like flowing water!
Shi Xiaobai was like an electric bolt that could change trajectories and reflect. He snaked through the forest at an extremely fast speed!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign was flying above the forest and was not obstructed by any of the obstacles, but even so, it could only close the gap by a tiny bit. It could not catch up to Shi Xiaobai no matter what!
"Hahaha..."
Shi Xiaobai, who was darting through space like a bolt of lightning, guffawed. His boisterous laughter resounded through the quiet forest!
One step, two steps. One step, two steps!
Each step was like a claw!
As though the
y were devil's footwork!
Rub, rub!
He constantly rubbed against the rough ground!
Rub!
Shi Xiaobai darted through the forest, across the mountains. With a pair of skating shoes, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign was left in his dust!
Suddenly, a dilapidated ruins appeared in front of him. Shabby stone buildings had blocked off his path. Uneven levels of buildings made them seem like conjoined mountain peaks!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's eyes lit up. The dense cluster of buildings had gaps so narrow that a human could not pass through. It was as though a mountain had blocked the road in front of Shi Xiaobai.
"Try to keep rubbing for This Sovereign!"
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign gave a hysterical laugh. It had seen an opportunity!

Chapter264 Leaped over a wall in desperation
In the core area of Magical Beast Forbidden Mountain
Sunless surveyed her surroundings and frowned slightly. Due to the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's arrival, all the magical beasts had hidden away in fear. The stone door which was at 'hell' difficulty had dropped several levels in difficulty. She was not met with any resistance on her way, so she quickly arrived in the core region.
But...the Titan Ape had also hidden itself!
Sunless was feeling somewhat anxious. It was a race against time for them. Every second they wasted was an additional second of danger for Shi Xiaobai.
However, with Sunless's personality, it was impossible for her to shout, "Damn you Titan Ape, how much of a coward are you?! Get the fuck out here to die!"
Sunless hesitated slightly before pulling out her silver sword and slashed out an azure sword beam.
"Boom! Boom! Boom...."
Azure sword beams began striking trees, rocks and the ground, resulting in one explosion after another.
Sunless constantly slashed with her sword, and during this period of time, several magical beasts that had been in hiding ran out. Despite their homes being destroyed, they still escaped without looking back to find another hiding spot.
The trepidation these magical beasts felt had reached such a stage!
Although Mu Yuesheng had to stop for a period of time due to certain actions Shi Xiaobai had engaged in, she too had quickly arrived in the core area. After understanding the situation, she also began shooting beams of lightning bolts and joined the destructive lineup.
Only when the entire core area was blasted up by sword beams and electric bolts till they were in ruins did the duo stop in a discouraged state. It was unimaginable for them that the Titan Ape was that cowardly.
After some time, Mozzie and Kevin finally arrived. Kevin was still alright, but Mozzie, who was pushing herself with all her might, was already panting. The two were dumbfounded when they saw the aftermath of the destruction.
After Mu Yuesheng explained to them, the two understood the present situation and also grumbled over the cowardly actions of the Titan Ape. The anxiety shown on their faces also turned more intense.
They were in a race against time, and with the Titan Ape hiding in an unknown location, they were feeling extremely anxious!
The biggest problem they were facing now was the finding of the Titan Ape!
Suddenly, Mozzie seemed to have thought of something. She slowly constructed a sharp psionic knife in her right hand. Gritting her teeth and turning her head away, she slit her left wrist forcefully!
The knife immediately created a laceration on her skin as blood immediately gushed out!
When the other three saw this scene, Mu Yuesheng, who was the closest, immediately rushed to apply pressure on Mozzie's wound. She exclaimed, "What are you doing!?"
Kevin also anxiously rushed over and said with great concern, "I know you are uneasy and blaming yourself. We are feeling the same way too, but you can't commit suicide!"
Sunless also walked over. A soft blue light emitted from her hands as she covered the wound that was profusely bleeding.
Mozzie's face was somewhat pale as she frowned slightly. The laceration was truly painful, but when Mozzie saw the concerned looks of the others, she knew that they had misunderstood. She hurriedly explained, "Blood. My blood might be able to lure the Titan Ape out!"
Mu Yuesheng immediately asked curiously, "Why?"
Kevin's eyes lit up and said, "Titan bloodline?"
Mozzie nodded and tersely acknowledged it. She recalled that back when Shi Xiaobai was teaching her and Kevin, Mu Yuesheng and Sunless were not present. She hurriedly explained to the other two girls that she possessed a Titan bloodline.
From the name, 'Titan Ape', it was probably an ape with a portion of Titan blood. It might be attracted to her blood which also possessed Titan blood. Furthermore, after Lord Shi Xiaobai's help, the purity of her bloodline had increased. The bloodline purity she had was probably one of the best out of those that still had Titan bloodline.
The trio immediately understood Mozzie's intentions as a glimmer of hope appeared in their hearts.
Sunless suddenly whispered, "Nose."
Everyone turned around in surprise and saw Sunless gesture for them to pinch their noses.
Mozzie had spent some time with Sunless, so she immediately understood her as she said, "You want us to pinch our noses?"
Sunless nodded. She used her sword's tip to suspend in mid-air the mud that had soaked with Mozzie’s blood.
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood emanated from the mud. It began spreading like clouds being spread apart.
The rest hurriedly pinched their noses and said in surprise, "This?"
Sunless said in a deadpan manner, "Air."
Her superpower, which was related to air, was not restricted to sucking away all the air and creating a partial vacuum in an area. At this moment, she was using her superpower to allow the smell of the blood to spread better.
The smell of blood began spreading through the air like a stream, and soon, most of the core region was tinged with the smell of Mozzie's blood.
As time slowly passed, the quartet held their breaths as they waited with great anticipation.
Suddenly, the ground began shaking violently!
"Boom!"
A series of deafening footsteps resounded. From behind a nearby mountain, a huge head popped out!
It was an ugly ape's head filled with black fur!
This black ape stretched its head out. Its nostrils spewed hot white gasses that twirled around like clouds.
This was the Titan Ape!?
Heavens, this ape was larger than a mountain!
...
...
On the other end of the mountainous area, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign believed that it had seen a chance when Shi Xiaobai arrived in front of the buildings, but it soon realized that it was extremely wrong!
Shi Xiaobai jumped to the top of the buildings and immediately turned into the embodiment of a parkour youth. He constantly jumped and proceeded forward through the concrete jungle. At times he would seem to bore through holes like lightning and at other times spin in mid-air. He demonstrated the art of parkour through the use of extreme actions!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign tried with all its might and realized it was still unable to chase up to Shi Xiaobai. Furthermore, the gap between them was slowly opening up!
Even though it was in mid-air and it did not encounter any geographical obstacles, it still could not make up for the gap between the speed of sound and the speed of lightning!
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign felt a true sense of defeat. Just recalling Shi Xiaobai previously comment 'having a thirty second head start is already very shameful for This King' immediately made it feel depressed and in need of weeping.
It had been ravaged by the speed of a scum at the Psionic Mortal Realm!?
"You are forcing This Sovereign!"
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign was incensed. I
ts pride would not allow it to be this humiliated!
"Roar!"
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign opened its mouth and produced a resounding roar.
The dark sky's sun was once again eclipsed by the huge shadow. The sky immediately turned completely dark once again. And amidst the darkness, the black poodle's tiny profile began to suddenly expand again and again!
Like a constantly expanding balloon, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign transformed into a gigantic ball darker than the darkness. The ball expanded into a size with a hundred meters in diameter before suddenly changing shape at a rapid speed.
Its four legs reached out to the ground from the ball. A massive mastiff’s head appeared out of the ball and a tail, which seemed like a column that reached into the skies, stood straight up!
"Roar!"
A black mastiff that was several hundred meters tall, a height taller than the mountains, stood in between the heavens and earth. Its roar was deafening, as though it was about to shatter the sky!
Shi Xiaobai had already run very far away, but when he heard the roar, he turned his head in horror. He saw the massive black mastiff at the ends of his vision.
A pair of gigantic crimson eyeballs were like suns that emanated a cold beam of light. The murderous intent was intense, spreading from one horizon to the other!
At the next moment, the gigantic black mastiff moved. Running in mid-air, it was able to cross more than a kilometer with a single step!
Its movement speed was appalling!
At the same time, the dense and dark clouds in the sky suddenly shot a black bolt of lightning to the ground in front of Shi Xiaobai!
A ravine opened up in the land when it was struck by the heavenly black lightning!
With ravines in front of him, was there any path for him to proceed forward?
Shi Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign had leaped over a wall in desperation.

Chapter265 Cowardly retracted its head like a turtle
In the core area of Magical Beast Forbidden Mountain
The black-furred ape’s head that peeped out of the mountain looked extremely ferocious. Its gigantic nostrils spewed out white gasses that looked extremely hot, as though a cold mountain was burning.
