Chapter 996 - 743: I Will Definitely Bring You Back
On the Royal Palace battlefield of the Sky City, Mo Yan used a hidden weapon to launch a sneak attack, shooting it into Xiao Jin’s body. Xiao Jin instantly felt his own superpower draining away, and cursed in his heart: That despicable old bastard!
Luckily he’d already learned his lesson last time and came prepared. He made a snap decision and tore open Space, using Space Escape to slip away.
Mo Yan was covered in wounds, and roared furiously, "Go after him! That Leopard Beast has lost his superpower now, he won’t get far!"
All those Death Warriors rushed after him, starting a carpet-style search.
Mo Yan’s face was shrouded in storm clouds, his anger boiling to the extreme. He was determined to kill that damned leopard; that beast actually dared ruin his plan! And he’d wasted such a precious feather on him!
Know this: in their Horned Eagle Clan, each life could only ever possess three of these special feathers. Back when he fought for the City Lord position, he used one. Later he gave Wu Wei one for protection. He only had this last feather left on him!
Mo Yan had originally planned to save it for a more critical moment, but he’d ended up wasting it on a Foreign Clan Leopard Beast. What a waste!
At the same time, Mo Yan suddenly seemed to remember something even more important. He grabbed his already half-shredded shirt and ripped it open completely.
On his chest was an especially obvious scar, very long, running straight from his left scapula across his whole chest, stitched together with special thread. It looked like someone had once torn his chest cavity wide open. The sight was vicious and terrifying.
But in the next second, something even stranger happened. Mo Yan actually reached out and directly tore open that stitched scar.
Yes, he literally ripped it open while still alive!
His movements were so practiced, it was like he’d done this countless times.
Then, in the bloody mess of his chest, you could vaguely see a corner of a Crystal Stone hidden inside.
It was a special Space Crystal Stone!
This was a Space Stone imbued with Space Ability, actually embedded directly into Mo Yan’s body. Inside the Space Stone he could store his most important items, for example: the Return Nest.
Probably no one in this world could ever imagine that the Return Nest had been stuffed by this old bastard straight into his own flesh. That way, aside from him, no one else on earth would ever be able to find it.
Mo Yan quickly checked the Space, and his expression suddenly changed as he realized something was wrong.
The process of crafting a Return Nest was extremely complicated and required many precious materials, and the most indispensable ingredient was the blood of their Horned Eagle Clan.
So Return Nests were incredibly rare.
Mo Yan would only ever use a Return Nest on people like Xiao who were valuable enough, forcing them into submission to him.
And the number of Return Nests he had on hand was of course limited. But after counting, he found that the Return Nests inside the Space hadn’t decreased at all. In other words, Xiao—hadn’t actually managed to steal any Return Nest?!
He’d only been pretending!
Damn it.
He’d actually been fooled by that brat!
Mo Yan’s face twisted with rage, then he suddenly laughed, the sound laced with a kind of wild satisfaction and hatred. "Xiao, you think you can get away? How naive can you be!"
"As long as the Return Nest exists, no matter where you run, even to the ends of the earth, you’ll never escape my grasp."
"So sooner or later, you’ll still come back looking for me!"
...
The territory of the Water Clan was vast, with only a small portion being land and freshwater. Most of it was sea area, and the sea area was immeasurably wide, at least twice the size of New Atlantis’s Sea Country domain, if not more.
Lu Xiao shifted into his true form and carried Shen Tang, patrolling high above. From the sky they looked down like a bird of prey, but all they saw was endless ocean. Trying to find where Liu Ye was hiding was not easy at all.
They had already been circling around here for half a day, and had arrived at a deep-sea area known as the Fearless Sea.
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened with dense clouds, and a violent storm broke out of nowhere.
Rumble—!
The sky was like it had been abruptly covered by a gigantic black curtain, plunging everything into instant darkness.
Thick black clouds rapidly gathered, bearing down in a huge mass. Countless roaring Thunder bolts darted wildly through the clouds, mixed with tearing gales that howled past like countless vengeful ghosts screaming in their ears. The torrential rain carried fist-sized hailstones, all crashing down from ten thousand meters above.
The airflow in the high sky shifted drastically. Several sky-high Water Dragon tornadoes rose from the sea surface, seemingly linking sky and ocean together.
Masses of seawater and reefs were sucked up into the vortexes. Many flying birds and beasts in the sky had no chance to escape; in the blink of an eye they vanished without a trace, probably shredded into dust on the spot.
