CHAPTER 1370 FLEE IN DISORDER
As the leader of the black cavalry roared, the stone gate quickly collapsed, along with him turning into
ashes.
Then, a wisp of dark blood vitality flew into the valley.
Soon after, a gust of smoke condensed into the shape of a human, who opened his mouth and
swallowed the wisp of blood vitality.
"Damn it! This must be the real guardian of the valley!" Everyone's face became serious as they
witnessed this scene.
"Darren, we're going to depend on you…"
"That's right! Your battle beast is very powerful. I think that you'll be able to handle this easily too!"
At that moment, Darren looked at the black shadow that condensed in the valley. Its eyes suddenly lit
up, emitting pure white light.
Darren's body trembled upon looking straight into its eyes. The black shadow's gaze made his soul so
frightened that he was almost petrified.
"That thing is so powerful! I can sense it!" Darren eventually lowered his head and asked his battle
beast, "Turtle, can we really defeat that thing?"
The old turtle just raised his head and looked at Darren contemptuously, as if he was in disbelief that
Darren needed to ask such kind of thing.
Seeing the expression in the eyes of the old turtle, Darren felt somehow relieved. He realized that even
his battle beast was confident enough in his own power.
Meanwhile, the black shadow below had completely condensed into its human form. The creature wore
a black armor and carried a heavy blade in its hand.
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, its body flickered, making its movements very difficult to track.
"What incredible speed!"
"Watch out! The creature is already taking action!"
The black shadow raised its heavy blade and hurled a slash towards them. They saw a huge faint
yellow blade radiance rapidly approaching.
'What is this? There's no blade intent?'
Darren was surprised and confused that he couldn't feel any blade intent from the blade radiance, but it
was still a fact that it was undoubtedly powerful. In fact, it was much more powerful than the attack of
the leader of the black cavalry.
"Infinite Defense Skill!"
Darren wasted no time and ordered the old turtle to activate his defensive skill.
However, this defensive skill was still as embarrassing as ever. The old turtle split up into large groups
of lame old turtles, and they began to hop and dance around.
At the same time, the falling turtle shells formed into a huge one, enveloping the battle beasts on
Darren's side.
Boom!
The overwhelming blade radiance hit the giant turtle shell, and the god's power spread in all directions.
"Yes! It withstood the attack!"
The young talents felt pretty confident upon seeing that the blade radiance was broken, while they were
completely unharmed.
Crack!
However, just after a few seconds, the huge turtle shell around them began to crack like a fragile glass.
Crash!
Then, the entire turtle shell was crushed into ashes.
"Argh!"
The human talents riding the battle beasts spat out blood one after another. Even Darren felt that his
internal organs were smashed into pieces.
Only then did they realize that something went terribly wrong. They had underestimated their enemy,
and because of that, they almost died.
"Run! We can't possibly fight that thing head-on!" one of them shouted.
The rest of the people riding on their battle beasts started retreating quickly and disappeared into the
void in just the blink of an eye. They clearly knew that once they experienced that same attack, they
would surely die.
Darren was dumbfounded at his situation. How was he going to run away now?
The others had done the right thing of escaping quickly, but he was left with the old turtle, which was
extremely slow to move.
Furthermore, the old turtle was frightened by the intensity of the enemy. His previous confidence was
nowhere to be found and his neck and three legs shrunk into his turtle shell.
"Hey, dear turtle! It's not the time for you to be a coward!" Sally stomped her feet as she convinced the
turtle to come out.
"What are you doing? Come out!" Finley put his head in front of the shell hole on the old turtle's neck
and shouted at him, but he got no response.
"Oh no, what are we going to do?" Beatty asked with a worried face.
"What else? We should start running before we die here!" Darren kicked the back of the turtle and
quickly leaped into the air. At the same time, Finley, Lindsay, Sally, and Beatty also followed him.
Swoosh!
However, just as they started flying in the air, a gust of cold wind swept past Darren's ears, making his
hair stand on end.
"Crap!"
They soon realized that it wasn't much of a good idea. After all, their enemy was too powerful. How
could they think that they could actually outrun it just like that?
In just a flash, the black shadow caught up with Darren and his companions and blocked their way.
The strong Archean aura from the black shadow quickly enveloped Darren and the others, and they felt
like millions of mountains were pressing on their chests.
"Is there no way to escape?!"
Darren and the others had almost lost hope.
The black shadow held a black blade in its hand and immediately hacked at them.
Even if they wanted to get out, the chaotic blade radiance had already blocked their way to escape.
The shadow of death had surrounded them and was about to take their lives.
"Darren! I'm coming to save you!"
At that moment, they heard a familiar voice come through the Archean aura. When they turned around
and looked at who it was, they just realized that they were able to avoid the approaching blade
radiance and that they had already landed on the back of a huge bird.
"Ha-ha! Huge success!" Weber laughed complacently. "I've already told you several times that the lame
turtle isn't very capable. Look at this bird. It's a lot more reliable!"
Weber stood on the head of the bird, with a rag wrapped around his neck, waving behind him as they
flew in the air. Somehow, they all found him cool at this moment.
"Weber, where did you find it? Its speed is so incredible," Sally asked as she looked intently at the huge
bird.
"Ha! What are you saying? Of course, a lot of battle beasts want to follow a tall, strong, brave, and
exceptional master like me. It's not a big deal for me to subdue this Thunder Cloud Bird." Weber spoke
while puffing out his chest, hoping that Sally would show her admiration for him.
"Ah, I see…" Hearing that Weber began bragging again, Sally lost interest in the battle beast and didn't
utter another word.
"Weber, make it go faster! Our enemy's right behind us!" Finley shouted.
A few kilometers away, the black shadow was still chasing after Darren and his companions at an
extremely fast speed.
"All right. All right. Just watch me. Thunder Cloud Bird, run faster!"
"Why are you telling it to run? It's not a horse!" Darren rolled his eyes and couldn't believe that they
were actually saved by this goofy guy.
But as a matter of fact, to be able to get away from the black shadow and maintain a distance of a few
kilometers, the Thunder Cloud Bird's speed was astonishingly fast.
In less than a minute, Darren and his companions already saw the other young talents, who escaped
way earlier, in front of them.
Weber's eyes lit up and instructed the huge bird to go faster. In an instant, they were able to catch up to
them.
"Young men, you're still weak. By the way, there is a saying stating that those who fall behind will be
the first to be beaten. Be sure not to be the first one to die! Ha-ha!" Weber enjoyed looking down upon
them. He had wanted to join their team earlier, but he was just beaten badly by their battle beasts. But
now, he was able to acquire such a powerful battle beast. How could he not show off and belittle them?
"Who is that? Is he wearing a rag around his neck?"
"It's that fat guy from earlier!"
Everyone was speechless upon recognizing who it was. They thought that Weber was just some idiot
that already died.
"Hurry up! It has almost caught up to us!"
At that moment, they immediately noticed that the black shadow was already at their tails and
approaching at an astounding speed.
"Damn it! I thought we already escaped from it! What should we do now?"
"Let's go all out and fight together! There's no use escaping from it if it could just catch up to us with
ease!"
Now that they realized that they couldn't escape from the black shadow, they had thought of fighting it Belonging to .
head-on. However, from their experience earlier, it seemed like the black shadow could kill them easily
with just a single move. There was no chance of victory for them unless they could thoroughly control
the battle beasts and unleash their fullest potentials and fighting power.
"Weber, take them with us," Darren said out of nowhere.
"What? No! Why do we have to save these bunch of idiots?" Weber strongly refused.
"What are you saying? They are the young talents of the human race. It's a huge loss if we just let them
die this way," Beatty butted in.
"Weber, please save them even just this once." Sally also joined and looked at Weber with eager eyes.
Weber felt like his heart melted under Sally's gaze. She needed not say anything else because he
would do any request that would be coming from her.
"Okay, fine. I'm not that cold-hearted. I'll still save them despite what they did earlier."
With that, Weber commanded the Thunder Cloud Bird to fly over to the people below them.
"All of you, come aboard! Be quick about it. Don't complain if you were left behind," Weber proudly
declared as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Eallard, come over quickly!" Darren shouted to him first.
"All right!"
Since they were in a situation where their lives were at stake, they couldn't care about anything else.
They just set aside their past issues and quickly flew towards the back of the Thunder Cloud Bird.
Soon enough, all of them had already landed at the back of Weber's battle beast.
Whoosh!
As the Thunder Cloud Bird let out a deafening roar, its speed suddenly increased to the maximum. Its
body spun rapidly and flew in an extremely tricky trajectory.
