Chapter 269 Catching Up
In the deep primeval forest, Lin Yuan and An Xin had been following the tracking pointer for a whole day.
The pointer, nourished and strengthened by the blood essence of three fallen beings, was incredibly accurate, its position always pointing steadily to due west without the slightest deviation.
To the two men's surprise, the surviving fallen one was extremely vigilant. Instead of lying in wait, he was constantly moving at high speed through the forest, fleeing from one place to another.
The other party seemed to have an innate sensitivity to danger, always maintaining a safe distance from them, constantly moving through the depths of the dense forest, repeatedly taking advantage of the complex terrain to evade pursuit.
For an entire day, the two traversed the dense forest, steadily closing the distance without stopping, gradually reducing the initial distance of several miles to within a hundred feet.
As the distance closed, the light on the dial grew increasingly intense, and the pulsating energy became more intense and violent, clearly indicating that the Fallen One ahead was far more corrupted than the previous three, and his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
Just as the two were about to completely lock onto their target and complete the encirclement, a series of rapid and heavy stomping sounds suddenly came from deep within the forest, mixed with eerie sounds of muscles pulling and flesh rubbing together.
Deep within the dense forest a hundred feet away, the constantly moving aura suddenly accelerated!
The opponent finally sensed the approaching killing intent and the presence of a living person, keenly detecting the tracking trajectory. No longer hesitating and probing, it turned to flee at full speed, its speed increasing several times over. With its limbs flying, it transformed into a blurry black shadow, rapidly traversing among the dense ancient trees, trying to completely shake off the pursuer.
"They've spotted us! Full speed ahead!"
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, he whispered a reminder, and with a burst of speed, his figure suddenly darted forward.
With the enhancement of the Ancient Dragon King's physique, his movements were as swift as the wind, his figure light yet fierce. He stepped over decaying leaves and withered branches almost silently, instantly breaking through the forest mist and speeding towards the direction the black shadow had fled.
Anxin followed closely behind, her movements nimble and agile. Holding a sniper rifle, she remained vigilant, her eyes fixed on the fleeing black figure ahead, ready to intervene at any moment.
In just a few breaths, the two broke through layers of dense forest and got completely close to their target.
At this moment, the Fallen One's figure was finally fully exposed to view, its appearance grotesque and terrifying.
This is a deeply corrupted individual, whose physical form has long since completely deviated from that of a human.
His upper body still retained a human shape, with large areas of skin ulcerated and turned outward. Dark demonic patterns crisscrossed his chest and neck, veins bulged, muscles were bulging, and his body was surrounded by thick, dark evil energy. His pupils were blood-red and filled with savage killing intent.
His lower body had already completely transformed, becoming a thick and robust black horse body with hard and sharp hooves, exaggerated muscle lines in his limbs, covered with torn and turned flesh, without intact skin covering it, the bright red flesh exposed, constantly oozing thick black pus, and each stomp of the ground made the ground tremble slightly.
Fine, dark bony spurs grew on the horse's mane, swaying in the wind and exuding a chilling aura.
The bizarrely spliced body, half-human and half-horse, was a bloody mess, exuding a terrifying aura. It was completely twisted and mutated, a more pure and violent form of mutated depravity than the previous three fallen ones.
At this moment, the half-horse fallen one's hooves were flying, and the speed of the run was extremely fast, leaving a trail of afterimages.
"They're moving very fast, let's contain them from a distance first!"
Anxin's sharp eyes instantly locked onto the fleeing target.
She planted her feet firmly on the ground, instantly stabilizing herself. With one hand, she held up the sniper rifle, and her fingertips instantly became surrounded by a dazzling divine light that could ward off evil. Golden spiritual power rapidly poured into the gun, condensing into a divine light bullet with extreme lethality.
Without the slightest hesitation, he calmly and decisively pulled the trigger!
boom!
The crisp, sharp gunshot ripped through the silence of the forest. A golden bullet, imbued with the power of supreme yang and the ability to ward off evil, hurtled through the air at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound. In an instant, it closed the distance by a hundred meters, precisely locking onto the back of the half-marathon fallen man's vital point. The angle was tricky, sealing off most of the opponent's evasive space.
However, the reaction speed of this mutated and corrupted individual far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Just as the bullet was about to hit, the half-horse fallen man's crimson pupils suddenly contracted, and his murderous aura instantly surged. His galloping body suddenly and strangely flipped to the side, his flesh-covered horse body forcibly changing its trajectory, managing to avoid the deadly bullet.
call out!
The golden bullet grazed his shoulder blade and embedded itself deeply into the trunk of the ancient tree behind him, instantly creating a charred crater. The entire tree trembled violently, and its branches and leaves fell off in a flurry. The bullet, which was enough to kill an ordinary fallen person, missed its mark.
With only a moment's delay, the half-horse fallen one used the momentum of its dodge to create some distance again and continued to flee into the depths of the dense forest.
But this brief dodge completely exhausted his space for maneuvering and escaping.
Lin Yuan seized this fleeting opening, accelerated once more, channeled dragon energy into his legs, and his speed surged to its limit. In an instant, he covered dozens of meters, traversing the dense forest like a golden lightning bolt, and intercepting the Fallen Ones' escape route.
At the same time, An Xin quickly switched positions, circling around to the side and blocking the escape route. The two worked in perfect coordination, one in front and one behind, instantly locking down all escape routes and completely trapping the half-marched fallen man in the clearing between two huge ancient trees.
With the road ahead blocked and the road behind cut off, the half-marathon runners who were fleeing at high speed had to come to an abrupt halt.
He stomped heavily on the ground, bringing the sturdy horse to a steady stop. The rotten soil beneath his feet was pulverized and scattered by the horse's hooves, and the dark, malevolent energy surged and churned wildly around him, instantly creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.
The moment he regained his balance, he turned his head sharply, his bloodthirsty crimson eyes fixed on Lin Yuan in front of him and An Xin behind him, his eyes surging with ferocity and doubt.
He had no idea how these two had managed to locate and track him.
The half-horse fallen man's eyes gleamed with ferocity, his muscles taut, his exposed flesh twitching and convulsing. His hoarse, violent voice boomed through the forest, filled with deep fear and rage.
"Who are you people?! How dare you follow me all this way and even block my path!"
Faced with the questioning and intimidation, Lin Yuan remained calm and composed, his dragon aura contained and undisturbed, but his eyes were cold and indifferent, devoid of any extra emotion.
He disliked idle chatter and would never explain himself to a heinous criminal; his tone was brief and sharp, each word dripping with murderous intent.
"The one who killed you."
Those three short words, like a cold blade, instantly ignited the pent-up violent killing intent of the Half-Marine Fallen.
"presumptuous!"
The Half-Horse Fallen was enraged, his eyes exploding with crimson killing intent. His body was enveloped in a surge of dark demonic energy, and the rolling baleful aura swept in all directions, bending all the surrounding vegetation.
With overwhelming power converging on its body, the mutated half-horse body unleashed a terrifying burst of power. Its four hooves slammed into the ground, and its massive body, carrying a destructive impact, charged straight at Lin Yuan like a ferocious beast unleashed or a runaway demonic steed, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder cutting through the air!
This charge was powerful and heavy, combining the charging force of the horse's body with the corrosive power of the corrupted magic, domineering, savage, and extremely fierce.
Faced with this violent collision capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, Lin Yuan remained standing still, neither dodging nor avoiding, his posture upright like a pine tree, showing no sign of backing down.
Just as the opponent's massive body was about to collide with him, Lin Yuan suddenly raised his hand, extending it out in mid-air with one hand, his palm condensing a powerful dragon force, and pressed it forward steadily!
boom!
A deep, resounding boom echoed through the forest.
That fierce, violent, and unstoppable half-horse fallen warrior, charging with immense power, was actually firmly pinned down in mid-air by Lin Yuan with just one simple hand!
The violent impact was instantly dissipated, the rampant demonic energy was suppressed layer by layer, and the high-speed impacting body was completely frozen, unable to move forward even an inch.
The half-horse fallen man's pupils shrank, his face filled with disbelief. The demonic energy that was running wildly in his body was suppressed by the immense force, and his blood and qi surged. All the ferocity and arrogance were completely frozen on his face at this moment, leaving only extreme shock and horror.
