Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Under everyone’s gazes, Chu Tong, who was floating in the sky, took out a token that was shining with golden light. The aura emitted by the token allowed everyone to sense that it was an extremely high-level token.
This was a powerful technique specially prepared for him by the prince! Even in the current Great Wu Empire, such a token was extremely rare and precious. Its value was even more shocking.
The moment Chu Tong took out this token, Xiao Shi sensed a familiar aura from the token in the other party’s hand. This made his heart sink. He instantly realized what Chu Tong wanted to do.
After Chu Tong took out the token, he crushed it as quickly as possible. Crack! As the token shattered, Waves of extremely dense golden light immediately bloomed from the token. Under Chu Tong’s control, these golden lights instantly tainted Chu Tong’s guards and his Red Refined Corpse.
Swoosh!
A golden light flashed. Be it Chu Tong in the sky, his guards, or the Red Refined Corpse, they instantly disappeared into thin air under the golden light.
All of this happened in a second. When Chu Tong took out the token and crushed it, he, his guards, and his corpse disappeared together. This stunned everyone. They did not expect Chu Tong to do such a thing.
“He… he ran away??” Someone widened his eyes in disbelief.
Chu Tong was the strongest combat power here. Be it the Red Refined Corpse he controlled or the many trump cards provided by the prince, he was the candidate with the greatest hope of resisting the Sage here.
However, no one expected Chu Tong to teleport away from everyone with his guards and the Red Refined Corpse after seeing the Sage in this checkpoint.
“That token… can teleport people!” Xiao Shi’s expression was also dark. The reason why he felt a sense of familiarity when Chu Tong took out the token was because when he and Xiang Zizhen were brought to the Imperial Domain from the Xingluo Territory, they had moved here through a similar teleportation.
This kind of teleportation was a higher-level ability than teleportation. Presently, Chu Tong had obviously teleported himself and all the guards out of this checkpoint through the teleportation of the command token. Just like the method Xiao Shi used to clear the second round.
This was something no one had expected!
Chu Tong did this not only because the Sage in this checkpoint was not easy to deal with, but more importantly, he felt that there was no need to exhaust too much energy in this checkpoint. After all, Chu Tong had entered this special area to refine this place. Therefore, he had no choice but to consider the subsequent problems.
Even if he could use a series of methods to deal with the Sage in this checkpoint, if he suffered too much damage because of this, it would not be beneficial to his final refinement. After all, this checkpoint was not the key to refining this area.
Before that, he had to conserve his strength and prepare for the final refinement. Naturally, he could not use all his methods and trump cards here. If he could preserve more strength, only when he finally arrived at the Holy Land did he have a greater chance of refining this special area!
Therefore, when he sensed that the Sage in this checkpoint was not easy to deal with, he directly chose to use teleportation to conserve his strength to the greatest extent. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, they all reacted and understood Chu Tong’s inner thoughts.
This made their expressions darken. It was obvious that Chu Tong did not care about their lives at all. In Chu Tong’s eyes, they were just a group of tools to help him refine this special area. If necessary, he could directly abandon them.
Chu Tong was not the only one who thought so. The prince clearly had the same thought. Otherwise, the prince would not have given Chu Tong a token that could teleport. From the beginning, the Imperial Prince had already hinted to Chu Tong that he could abandon these Martial Demon Realm cultivators at any time.
As long as Chu Tong could complete the refinement of this special area in the end and become the strongest Sage, even if all the Martial Demon Realm cultivators who entered this place died, it would still be profitable for the Great Wu Empire.
While this made everyone furious, it also raised a sense of sorrow. Although they had already realized that they could only be Chu Tong’s tools when the prince had formed a taboo on them, they did not expect the other party to abandon them so easily.
The snake-like vine raised high again, raising a sharp sound that tore through the air as it smashed down again. Everyone continued to use Iron Refined Corpses to block. After blocking three times in a row, the damage of these Iron Refined Corpses kept increasing, and most of the bodies of some of them were already damaged.
This made everyone realize that just the Iron Refined Corpse alone was not enough to resolve the current crisis. They could only resist it twice at most. At that time, these Iron Refined Corpses would definitely be completely shattered and could not continue resisting.
An incomparably strong sense of danger lingered in everyone’s hearts. Now that they were without Chu Tong, the strongest Martial Demon Realm expert, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness when facing the Sage in this checkpoint. They could not see any hope at all..
