Chapter 819 Twists and Turns_3
Under such circumstances, he naturally did not want to encounter the God Devouring Knife attack unleashed by Modan. Even the slightest loss to his innate talent would cause him great distress and could potentially prevent him from reaching higher realms.
"Modan, you actually dare to attack us proactively, are you seeking death?"
"Hmph! Modan, we didn't actively kill you, but you're actively courting death?"
Aolai Minglang and Ao Firestone were in pursuit of Senior Can when they saw Modan attacking them and could not help but snort coldly and speak.
"Boom! Boom!"
As they spoke, they both unleashed powerful attacks against Modan, aiming merely to hinder him momentarily; these attacks were not particularly strong, given their level as top-tier Super Warriors.
"Bang! Bang!"
Having escaped Tuo Eternal's attack, Modan swiftly used his God Devouring Knife to shatter the incoming assaults.
At the same time, he was also shocked by the formidable power of the God Devouring Knife in his hand.
The God Devouring Knife not only possessed the ability to destroy one's innate talent but also amplified the strength of its wielder.
He had been aware of this, but he had not anticipated the extent to which the knife would boost his power when he wielded it.
It was truly a treasure of the Firestone Family.
He thought to himself.
The God Devouring Knife was a gift from Lin Yun, which he had not utilized until now, saving it as a trump card.
At this moment, in order to cover for Senior Can and facilitate the departure of Xia Qingqing and others from this place, he had drawn it into action.
The effect exceeded his expectations, bolstering his confidence in holding off Aolai Minglang, Ao Firestone, and Tuo Eternal.
"Perhaps, I do not need to fall..." he quietly thought.
Aolai Minglang, Ao Firestone, and Tuo Eternal were the top-tier ancestors from three major families, each not a run-of-the-mill Super Warrior of the fourth level; naturally, he had no confidence in withstanding the combined assault of these three.
Just now, when he instructed Senior Can to leave with Xia Qingqing and the others, he had, in fact, resigned himself to the likelihood of death.
There was no choice; the enemy was too powerful. Their foes were the top three Super Powers of the Human Race, and the strength of these three forces was not limited to what was in front of them—the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it became.
If they wanted to survive, the only option was to actively break the situation.
First, abandon Xia Qingqing and the others and flee together with Senior Can.
However, he was not confident that he could persuade Senior Can, nor could he convince his own conscience.
At this moment, there was no time to persuade both Senior Can and himself.
Therefore, the only other option was for either him or Senior Can to stay behind and cover the retreat while the other led Xia Qingqing and the rest away.
Then there was the same problem: he had no assurance he could persuade Senior Can to stay behind, nor did he have the time for such persuasion.
Thus, there was essentially only one choice left, which was for him to stay and cover their retreat.
Staying behind came with the risk of life and death.
He was aware of another trump card in his possession, and since this card had the ability to harm innate talent, he harbored a faint hope that perhaps he could hold out until Senior Can could return to save him.
And at this moment, this faint glimmer of hope grew stronger.
"God Devouring Knife!"
"It's actually the God Devouring Knife!"
Seeing Modan quickly shatter their attacks, Aolai Minglang and Ao Firestone also took note of Modan's weapon, and upon recognition, they were both taken aback.
They recognized the treasure of the Firestone Family, especially Ao Firestone, who was the top-tier ancestor of the family.
"I never expected Lin Yun to actually give away such a treasure!"
Ao Firestone's face was ashen.
The God Devouring Knife, Devil Sound Bell; previously, their family had entrusted these two treasures to An Firestone for the purpose of dealing with Lin Yun. However, An Firestone had failed, leading to Lin Yun's victory and the treasures falling into his hands.
Both treasures of the family were powerful in their own right, or they wouldn't be considered the family's treasured artifacts.
It should be noted that the Firestone Family is not an ordinary family but one that has been passed down from ancient times and even stood as one of the three top Super Powers in the entire cosmos of the Human Race before the advent of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
The power of their family's treasured artifacts could only be imagined.
He had never believed that such powerful treasured artifacts would be so readily given away by Lin Yun to someone else.
"Retreat quickly!"
"Deal with it with all our might!"
Aolai Minglang and Ao Firestone both spoke gravely.
They were very aware of the abilities of the God Devouring Knife and naturally did not wish to be attacked by it.
"Boom! Boom!"
In the midst of conversation, they each exerted their full power to counter Modan's attacks.
As they exerted their full efforts against Modan, they naturally had no more strength to interfere with Senior Can's actions.
Soon, Senior Can regrouped with Xia Qingqing, Lianshan, and the others.
"This..."
"Retreat quickly!"
This frightened the geniuses who had been planning to attack Xia Qingqing, Lianshan, and the group, prompting them to retreat swiftly.
Since most of them were not from the same power, they had not formed a united front; if the Super Star Beast suddenly targeted one of them, they would be unable to withstand the attack. If they fell because of this, it would be an unjust death.
With this in mind, they did not dare to slacken their retreat.
"Senior Can!"
"Senior Can!"
Seeing Senior Can arrive, Xia Qingqing, Lianshan, and the others also hurriedly saluted, speaking with great respect.
"Roar—"
However, just as Senior Can opened his mouth to speak, it suddenly turned its head, looking in another direction.
On the other side, Modan also quickly looked up in the same direction.
They saw two strong auras appear, each one no less inferior to themselves.
"Three more have come..." Modan said with a grim expression, speaking out loud.
He had a premonition that the three top-tier Super Warriors who had arrived were probably also from the three top Super Powers.
Reality seemed to be proving his guess.
