Monarch Of Time Chapter 416 - 416 One in three chances

Chapter 416 - 416 One in three chances

The old woman in red armor and the snake-eyed man who were both standing just a few meters away from the old man in black robes, stared at the gigantic body of the Death Eater with blank looks.

Even the red-robed young man who was now less than a mile away from Liu Mei and the Death Eater had also stopped in his tracks, as his gaze was glued on the enormous black beast at the center of the battlefield with a disbelieving expression.

Absolute silence had suddenly filled the small city, as every single cultivator, regardless of whether they were disciples of the alliance or the criminals in this city, all stared at the enormous black beast with looks of fear in their eyes.

No, it wasn't absolute silence.

The sound of Liu Mei's undead knights marching forward could still be heard clearly, bringing a horrifying sense of fear to the remaining criminals in the city.

It only took a single moment for the old woman in red armor and the snake-eyed man to snap out of their reverie, before they immediately moved backwards as they tried to open up the distance between themselves and the Death Eater that was now just a few meters away from them.

However, how could Liu Mei give them such a chance?

From the start, she knew that she had at most 3 hours before the effects of the rank 5 'Blood Ignition pill' wore off!

By then, she was certain that if she hadn't already taken care of every enemy around her and if she hadn't left the city and find a safe place to hide herself, she would definitely end up dead without any questions.

Even if she had taken care of all the criminals in the city, there was no way that the alliance of disciples would let her go.

After all, everyone's goal was the Holy sect's token, and Liu Mei knew that even if it wasn't the old man in black robes who had it in his possession, it would definitely be the old woman in red armor or the snake-eyed man who had it.

Once she obtained it she would definitely become everyone's enemy.

''No. Even if it wasn't for the token, I can't allow myself to be defenseless in this place!''

As she steeled her heart, Liu Mei allowed the Death Eater to go all out!

The enormous magic beast looked at the 2 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts in front of it, before it immediately went after the snake-eyed man, completely ignoring the old woman in red armor for now.

Things had changed much faster than he had originally expected.

As the disciples that were following behind him finally caught up with him, a young woman at the peak of rank 2 in the Nascent Soul stage looked at the enormous monster in the distance before she asked hesitantly

''Senior brother... should we retreat? That... thing has already eaten a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert...''

How could the red-robed young man not understand what this woman implied?

Although he was slightly stronger than the old man in black robes, in the end he was also a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert.

In a head-on fight, it was impossible for him to kill the black-robed old man by himself.

And yet, not only was that woman in white robes able to kill him, but she was also taking on every single criminal in the city, all at once!

After a moment of deliberation, the red-robed young man shook his head firmly before he then said

''Giving up will mean looking for another city, or even worse, for someone who has already obtained a Holy sect's token. However, there are only one thousand tokens and one thousand cities in the end!

It is the same for me, and it is even more so for you guys who have no hope of obtaining one in the first place!''

Almost as if he didn't notice the ugly expressions on the faces of the disciples around him, the young man in red robes then continued

''Trying to obtain this token is our best chance. Although it's not impossible for me to find another one, the same can't be said for any of you.

So if you want to have even a single chance of pa.s.sing this test, you know what to do!''

As he finished his words, the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul young man didn't give any more explanations before he instantly flew towards the old woman in red armor.

He believed that the disciples behind him clearly understood his meaning.

Although Liu Mei had already killed the old man in black robes and was now chasing after the snake-eyed man, there was still a one in three chances that it was actually the old woman who had the token in her possession!

Additionally, with a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, as well as 2 middle rank 3 ones and more than 10 peak rank 2 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, their hunting speed was probably not inferior to Liu Mei's Death Eater either!

In the end, it would boil down to being nothing else than a matter of luck.

Seeing the disciples of the alliance that had entered the battlefield and were chasing after her like mad dogs, made the old woman's face to instantly turn pale, as she hurriedly fled in the opposite direction, opening up the distance between them.

On one hand it was Liu Mei's skeletons and her undead knights who were fighting the criminals in the city, while on the other hand it was the hundreds of disciples who were finally making their move!

There was practically nowhere for the old woman to run to, and yet she still chose to move towards Liu Mei's army in the end.

Although she already knew that she could fight off the young man in red robes for a while by herself, it was nothing more than a wistful dream if she actually expected to survive against the more than 100 disciples that were following after him as well!

Instead, moving towards Liu Mei's army that was slaughtering the criminals was a much better choice!

At the same time however, Liu Mei who was sitting on the Death Eater's back and was chasing after the snake-eyed man, suddenly turned her attention towards the old woman's direction.

Since the Death Eater had already eaten the old man in black robes, Liu Mei already knew that the Holy sect's token wasn't in his possession!

This meant that it was either on the old woman's hands or in the snake-eyed man's!

However, if it was in the old woman's hands and one of those disciples managed to obtain it, Liu Mei who only had a little more than 3 hours of time to fight would most certainly be unable to chase after that person.

With a serious look in her eyes, Liu Mei had her undead army immediately give up on killing the criminals on the collapsed city walls, as they all moved towards the old woman's direction.

Her skeletons and her undead knights were just a few steps away from clas.h.i.+ng with the old woman head-on, when suddenly, a pillar of flames appeared from behind the old woman, attacking her and Liu Mei's undead army at the same time, killing more than 60 skeletons as well as 2 undead knights in the process.

Liu Mei immediately turned her attention towards the young man in red robes who was chasing after the old woman, and was obviously the one who had unleashed this attack.

The young man seemed to have felt Liu Mei's bone-chilling gaze and turned to stare back at her for a moment, before he turned his attention towards the old woman in red armor.

He wasn't going to bother with Liu Mei if he didn't have to.

As long as the old woman was the one who had the Holy sect's token on her possession, he would definitely take it before he left the city!

ROOAARRR

At the same time, the Death Eater that had already blocked tens of attacks from the snake-eyed man, suddenly let out a powerful roar the moment that it was just a few meters away from him, before it lunged forward once again with its mouth open!

The peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator had a look of despair in his eyes, before his body was immediately covered with a layer of green liquid, similar to the one he had used to trap Liu Mei's skeletons and her undead knights previously.

However, the enormous beast seemed as if it had a sinister smile plastered on its face while it watched the snake-eyed man vainly struggle to kill it along with himself, before it opened its hideous mouth and immediately swallowed the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
