Chapter 356 – Heaven Path’s Stone Stele

Suddenly sucking in a cool breath of air, Lei Yu then looked down and noticed his left arm was missing a piece of meat!

“Watch out, it’s coming again!” Alerted the Devil King .

Lei Yu swallowed hard before he made a thought, stopping the spinning Sky Devouring Sword . He then released his spiritual perception in order to sense where this ridiculously fast Sky Devouring Rat was .

“Found it!” The Sky Devouring Rat was coming at him in a straight line . Lei Yu immediately dodged and the black blur flew by like a bullet .

“Its speed is too shocking! How the hell am I supposed to fight it? I can’t even catch up to it!” Lei Yu had lost his cool .

“Quick! Lock into its position so it can’t attack you . Then look for a chance to quickly hide and withdraw your aura!” The Devil King’s words seemed panicked .

With Lei Yu’s current strength, normally he would be able to handle someone at the late Boundary Transition stage . But this Sky Devouring Rat was an existence that even if the bull-head was here, it would cause him a huge headache . That’s why there’s nothing they can do but follow their original plan of hiding .

Lei Yu nodded and didn’t dare to be careless . This Sky Devouring Rat’s biting power was really too shocking . Lei Yu was only lost in thought for a moment previously and he was already missing a piece of his arm . If he wasn’t completely focused, most likely this throat would have been torn off already .

After once again dodging sideways to escape an attack, Lei Yu then suddenly descended onto the ground . At the same time, he was also withdrawing his aura . The single rush by the Sky Devouring Rat had caused it to appear a few kilometers away before stopping . It didn’t have a powerful spiritual perception like Lei Yu’s, so just as it turned around to rush forth for another attack, its target had disappeared without a trace!

The Sky Devouring Rat flew around the air in different directions leaving blurs that crisscrossed each other . This showed how terrifying its speed had reached!

Lei Yu was greatly shocked . “This guy’s speed is way too terrifying! There’s no way I can accurately predict its attack path!”

“Don’t get so anxious and just keep walking straight . Do you see that mountain over there? At the base of that mountain is a stone stele, and below that stone stele is where my true body lies . Once you get there, just release my remnant soul and everything will be concluded!” Said the Devil King .

Lei Yu followed the directions of the Devil King and looked over, finally noticing the mountain . Perhaps he was still too far away because he didn’t see any stone steles at the base of it .

As he started running, Lei Yu would occasionally look up into the air . The Sky Devouring Rat was flying all over the place before stopping at one position . Only when it stopped did Lei Yu finally get to see its appearance .

Where was the Sky Devouring Rat’s awesome aura? This thing’s appearance was not qualified to have such a fear inducing name . It looked no different than an ordinary mouse except that its two front teeth (incisors) on its upper jaw were pointed instead of being flat . So apart from its teeth, there was no difference to your common mice .

The terrain of this place wasn’t elevated and was surrounded by a lot of trees . Even though there weren’t any leaves for cover, the dense branches crossing each other also created the same effect . Actually being here made Lei Yu understand why the Devil King had picked him to find his true body . The ultimate goal was that he was capable of hiding his aura to avoid the Sky Devouring Rat’s bite . It looks like the Lei Sect’s cultivation methods had its own ingenious uses and wasn’t any less impressive than the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique .

To hide and avoid was one thing, but rodents were born with a sense of smell that were more sensitive than other animals . Since they usually lived in dark and dirty places, and their visions were poor, they would have starved to death early on if they didn’t have a keen sense of smell .

Lei Yu was able to hide his aura which stopped his energy fluctuation from spreading, but there’s no way he could hide the scent of his body . This was the key point to his demise!

One could see the Sky Devouring Rat twitch its nose and started shaking its whiskers . It was able to very quickly detect the approximate location of Lei Yu and rush down . Its movement speed was so quick that it was no different from teleporting!

Lei Yu was shocked and frantically raised his speeds . And it was because of this that he revealed himself .

Lei Yu’s speed was quick but the Sky Devouring Rat was three times faster . In an instant, it had already caught up and arrived in front of Lei Yu . Its pair of small eyes kept blinking furiously as it obviously couldn’t see Lei Yu’s appearance that clearly . The rat then suddenly started speaking in the human language .

“Breaking into the fourth region proves that you have a bit of strength, but you still need to get past me in order to attain the treasure!”

“Treasure? What treasure?” Lei Yu asked in surprise .

“Aren’t you here for the treasure?” Asked the Sky Devouring Rat in a shrill voice . Its tone was almost whisper like but Lei Yu was still able to hear it clearly .

At this point, Lei Yu stood there stunned like he was struck by lightning . “What are you talking about? I’m here to rescue the Devil King’s true body so what’s that got to do with a treasure?”

“Devil King?” The Sky Devouring Rat was thinking for a while before asking: “You’re here for the Devil King that’s been restrained beneath the Heaven Path’s Stone Stele?”

Hearing those words, Lei Yu was a bit relieved . At least this part of Devil King’s words weren’t a lie and his true body was truly being sealed here .

“Looks like I can’t go anywhere unless I pass your obstruction!”

“You’re definitely not something good if you’re related to that Devil King . Looks like I praised you in error!” The Sky Devouring Rat sharply yelled .

Lei Yu swallowed hard and didn’t dare to be careless since this little creature had the ability to devour all things . Even though the Sky Devouring Rat couldn’t see him clearly, Lei Yu had to bear in mind that its sense of smell was very powerful .

Upon slightly moving the Sky Devouring Sword, it created a buzzing noise which made the Sky Devouring Rat think Lei Yu was about to attack . Its terrifying speeds were once again displayed .

“Woosh!”

There were no sounds of the wind or a trace of its movement . Since the distance was too close, Lei Yu didn’t have time to dodge and was bitten by the rat back and forth .

Once, twice, three times, four times…

Lei Yu was completely filled with wounds! Although the injuries he suffered weren’t fatal, his whole body was already soaked in blood . Even if he doesn’t die immediately, Lei Yu will soon meet his demise!

“What do I do? There’s no way to dodge it! Its speed is even faster than my lightning speeds!” Lei Yu frantically yelled .

The Devil King couldn’t come up with anything for the time being . This rat was a thorn that was extremely difficult to pull out! Lei Yu’s body shook as he forced the blood off his body . He didn’t dare to use his hands to wipe the blood in case the rat used that moment to make a fatal attack .

Lei Yu was in despair as he watched the rat zoom past him over and over again . The Sky Devouring Sword had struck out multiple times but never hit the target .

While covered in blood from top to bottom, Lei Yu shook his wrist and two beams of white light shot out of the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost . It then began to heal Lei Yu’s injuries as best as it could .

“Motherf*cker! Calculations! Calculations! This daddy will show you our modern world’s mathematical calculations!” Cursed Lei Yu as he was completely enraged by the Sky Devouring Rat .
