Bai Ye no longer had time to ponder, he got up and, at the moment the giant hammer fell, transformed into lightning and fled.
The Giant Spirit God, seeing this, immediately tried to block Bai Ye using the same tactic, but at that moment...
A loud boom suddenly erupted in the air before the Giant Spirit God.
In the next instant, as if something had exploded in the sky, colorful smoke dispersed in the air.
The Giant Spirit God frowned, then opened his mouth to breathe.
With each inhale and exhale, large gusts of wind appeared, blowing outwards and scattering the smoke.
However, after the smoke cleared, Bai Ye was nowhere to be seen.
"Pursue!" the Giant Spirit God commanded decisively. "Not just one, there's another. Find them all."
The surrounding golden armored soldiers immediately responded, darting out in all directions, transforming into streaks of golden light.
On the other side, Bai Ye ran quickly, his brow furrowed involuntarily.
The Smoke and Rain Soul Revival could only save Bai Ye from a near-death state and restore some of his injuries.
The so-called "some" injuries meant just enough to keep Bai Ye alive, not to restore him to his original state.
Currently, Bai Ye felt pain all over, unable to pinpoint any specific injury, yet feeling as if he were injured everywhere.
To describe how serious it was...
Even if a woman of exquisite beauty and a captivating figure were to strip him naked and lie before him, Bai Ye would remain unmoved.
Dragon's Head Raised?
Such a thing was absolutely impossible!
But at this moment...
A shout suddenly came from behind Bai Ye, followed by a large number of golden armored soldiers appearing, streaking across the sky like golden light.
Bai Ye gritted his teeth, wanting to transform into lightning again, but just as he was about to do so, an arm reached out from a side alley and grabbed his shoulder.
"This way!"
After grabbing Bai Ye, the person forcefully pulled him into the alley.
Bai Ye looked up at the person and said in surprise, "You?"
"Who else but me," Li Jia said as he ran, "Remember, you owe me a life!"
Bai Ye asked, "You saved me?"
Li Jia replied, "Do you think I wanted to? If I couldn't let you die here, why would I care if you died?"
Bai Ye asked, "Why?"
Li Jia looked up at the sky and said, "Can we talk about it later? You might not even survive."
Bai Ye said, "Trust me, if I don't survive, I'll definitely tell them there's another one. I'll drag you down with me even in death."
Li Jia became angry, "Are you even human? If I hadn't intervened, you'd be dead already, and now you're thinking of framing me?"
"If I don't resolutely drag you down with me, what if you run away when you see things going south?" Bai Ye said, "I don't know why you saved me, but the reason must not outweigh your own life."
"You're ruthless!" Li Jia said, "This way."
Li Jia led Bai Ye through the alleys, then ran onto the street and turned into an old urban area.
As Bai Ye followed, he asked curiously, "You seem very familiar with this place?"
"None of your business," Li Jia said. "If you don't want to die, hurry up. We'll be safe soon."
As soon as Li Jia finished speaking, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared in the sky.
Boom!
The golden radiance descended like a meteor tearing through the sky. Upon impact, it let out a massive, deafening roar.
A defensive barrier appeared on the ground, but it couldn't withstand the blow of the golden light, and a section of it was instantly shattered.
Sand and dust swirled up from the surroundings, then slowly dispersed.
A heavy hammer appeared before them, blocking their path.
In the next instant, a golden light descended from the sky, slowly landing before them, and the Giant Spirit God gradually strode out from the golden light.
The Giant Spirit God looked at them and said, "Indeed, there are two mortals."
"I'm a mortal, what are you?" Li Jia cursed, "A miscellaneous general."
The Giant Spirit God was instantly enraged, he grabbed the hammer handle and lifted the hammer.
Li Jia wasn't just mindlessly provoking him; as he spoke, he had already thrown a talisman forward.
This talisman was not an ordinary one, but a piece of silk inscribed with runes written in three-colored cinnabar.
"Heaven and Earth Shift!"
Li Jia quickly formed hand seals, and a silver light circle suddenly appeared, enveloping all three of them.
In the next instant, the Giant Spirit God's giant hammer smashed forward.
Clang!
A massive smashing sound echoed.
The Giant Spirit God frowned. His hammer had landed on the ground, and his position was incorrect!
The Giant Spirit God slowly straightened up and looked behind him.
He had actually appeared where Bai Ye and Li Jia had been standing, while Bai Ye and Li Jia were now standing where he had been.
With the sudden exchange of positions, the hammer the Giant Spirit God had swung forward naturally missed its target, smashing directly into the ground.
As the Giant Spirit God pondered this, he turned around, intending to walk towards Bai Ye and Li Jia.
But at this moment...
Li Jia quickly pulled Bai Ye back, retreating from the street into a street corner.
"Hey!" Li Jia seemed to have suddenly gained confidence and shouted at the Giant Spirit God, "I advise you to look carefully before you come over, or you'll regret it."
The Giant Spirit God sneered, "I'll regret it?"
The Giant Spirit God, showing no fear, continued to advance, holding his hammer.
Li Jia curled his lips and suddenly shifted his body to the side, revealing a street sign behind him.
The Giant Spirit God's raised right foot stopped abruptly, and his expression became extremely ugly.
The revealed street sign clearly read: Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Li Jia said, "What? Are you sure you want to come over?"
The Giant Spirit God gritted his teeth, "Are you threatening me?"
Li Jia replied, "Yes, I'm threatening you. What can you do about it?"
The Giant Spirit God said, "Even if I enter that monkey's territory, so what? Killing you will only take half an incense stick's time, and then I'll leave. Will that monkey really cause trouble for me over two mortals like you?"
The Giant Spirit God's words seemed to be spoken to Bai Ye and Li Jia, but more like he was trying to convince himself.
In the next instant, as if having made up his mind, the Giant Spirit God continued to walk towards Bai Ye and Li Jia.
Li Jia's heart sank. Had he messed up?
But at this moment...
"No gods shall enter. If you cross the boundary, you shall be executed!"
A deep voice suddenly echoed from the sky, followed by a staff that broke through the air, smashing through a patch of clouds and descending from the heavens.
Clang!
The staff struck straight down, piercing the ground and standing upright.
At that very instant, the Giant Spirit God's steps halted once again.
"This matter is not over!"
The Giant Spirit God gritted his teeth, then took two steps back, transformed into a golden light, and shot up into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
