The two Universe Level Instructors from the Stellar Training Camp who had rushed over, one of whom was a Spiritual Master, had already scanned Ender flying away before they even turned the corner.
The two Universe Level Instructors transmitted their thoughts to each other, "Quick! The Cultivation Planet Department's #1 target is right ahead!"
"The enemy might still have a capture net Spear. We can't let ourselves be restrained by it. The military is on their way, so we must stop them."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two Universe Level Instructors flew around the corner and, seeing Ender flying towards them, immediately transmitted, "You go first, we'll hold them back."
"Continue escaping down this passage. The military has already arrived."
Hearing this, Ender thanked the two Instructors and then brushed past them.
His Spiritual Force scanned the two Instructors flying towards the enemies behind, and he inwardly thanked the three Instructors for blocking the enemies for him.
He also knew that the reason these three Instructors blocked the enemies for him was because his talent was highly valued by the high-ranking officials of the Molten Rock Empire.
And now that he had comprehended the Wood Origin Law, he felt that he had not disappointed such importance.
Behind them, seeing the two newly arrived Universe Level Instructors, the pursuing group of five had already discussed their strategy.
One person pulled out a capture net Spear from his spatial ring, quickly aimed at the two Universe Level Instructors ahead, and then pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A capture net projectile with a diameter of over twenty centimeters shot out, flying towards the two targeted individuals.
The two newly arrived Universe Level Instructors had already learned from their companions that these Star Pirates had a C9-grade capture net Spear, and as soon as it was pulled out, their Spirit Weapon had already struck.
This third-order Spirit Weapon, which had a defensive form, reassembled into a shield and blocked the path of the capture net projectile, easily intercepting it.
Bang!
With an explosion, the capture net projectile burst open, and a huge, tough capture net enveloped the third-order Spirit Weapon.
"Trying to use a capture net Spear against me? How naive!"
The Spiritual Master among the two Instructors chuckled. With a thought, the third-order Spirit Weapon, caught in the capture net, disintegrated, transforming into hundreds of blades that drilled out from the gaps in the net. A moment later, it reassembled into its defensive form.
At the same time, the other Instructor unfolded his Domain. An earthy yellow light rapidly spread outwards from him, enveloping the five pursuers.
"It's a Spiritual Master!"
"Another Domain!"
Seeing the capture net projectile blocked by the third-order Spirit Weapon, and also being enveloped by the extremely suppressive Earth Domain, the hearts of the five pursuers tightened.
Capture net guns were very effective against Martial Artists, but much less so against Spiritual Masters, because Spiritual Masters could easily block capture net projectiles with their Spirit Weapons, and Spirit Weapons could reassemble, rendering most capture nets useless against them when disintegrated.
The Blue-skinned Shark Man leading them instantly made a decision, "Monkey! You pursue! You must capture the target! We'll hold them back!"
The two Universe Level opponents were very strong, with a Domain and a Spiritual Master. Capture nets were useless against them, so more people were needed to hold them back.
Hearing this, the Ape-man Spiritual Master, seeing the two powerful enemies, knew he couldn't get past them, so he decisively breached the wall!
The wall, being only B1-grade metal, could not withstand the attack of a third-order Spirit Weapon and was instantly penetrated.
"Don't even think about it!"
Seeing the Ape-man attempting to breach the wall to bypass them, the Martial Artist Instructor's figure flickered, ready to rush over. Bang! Bang!
Two more capture net gunshots rang out. One capture net projectile shot towards the Martial Artist Instructor, and another towards the Spiritual Master Instructor.
Bang!
The third-order Spirit Weapon blocked one capture net projectile. The projectile burst open, turning into a capture net that enveloped the Spirit Weapon.
As for the other one, seeing the capture net projectile flying towards him, the Martial Artist Instructor rapidly retreated. At the same time, he pulled out a spare shield from his spatial ring and threw it towards the incoming capture net projectile.
Bang!
The capture net projectile was hit by the spare shield, bursting open into a capture net that enveloped the shield.
With this obstruction from the capture net Spear, the Martial Artist Instructor still wanted to pursue, but he was blocked by the two Universe Level individuals, while the Ape-man Spiritual Master had already breached the wall and left.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the Martial Artist Instructor was enraged, swinging his third-order Force Weapons and slashing at the two who were blocking him.
While these three were fighting, the other two also attacked the Spiritual Master Instructor, not seeking to kill or defeat the enemy, but merely to hold them back, which would be their victory.
...
Ender, taking advantage of the two Instructors blocking the enemies, rapidly fled down the passage. Unfortunately, his Gene Energy was completely burned out, leaving him unable to use the 'Burning Energy Escape Technique', so his speed was not as fast as when he fully unleashed his power.
Scanning behind him with his Spiritual Force, he saw no enemies pursuing and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "I should be safe now."
Boom!
Just then, the inner wall of the passage ahead exploded. Metal fragments and meteorite debris swarmed and crashed against the opposite wall of the passage.
In the dust, Ender vaguely saw a figure flickering. He slowed his flying speed and scanned ahead with his Spiritual Force.
As he was scanning with his Spiritual Force, the person in the dust rushed out—it was none other than the Ape-man Spiritual Master!
Seeing that hairy face, Ender's expression slightly changed. "It's him!"
The Ape-man Spiritual Master transmitted with hatred, "I finally caught you!"
At this moment, this Ape-man Spiritual Master's heart was filled with anger and resentment. He had thought this was just a relatively difficult mission, but he never expected to encounter three Universe Level individuals blocking him so soon into the mission, two of whom had even comprehended Domains.
And his companions, who stayed behind to hold back the enemies, would likely face a grim fate against such powerful foes!
These were all his brothers, brothers in life and death who had fought and grown together since their slave days, but today they were all gone!
Ender scanned the large hole from which the Ape-man Spiritual Master had emerged, finding no one else besides this Ape-man, so he transmitted, "Just you alone?"
"Because of you! I'm the only one left!"
The Ape-man Spiritual Master looked resentful, his third-order Spirit Weapon shot out, and at the same time, a vast Spiritual Force surged towards Ender's Sea of Consciousness.
The Spiritual Force impact was faster than the Spirit Weapon, surging into Ender's Sea of Consciousness first.
Facing the Universe Level fourth-order Spiritual Force impact, Ender merely swayed slightly, enduring it with his super strong Spiritual Force intensity and his long-honed powerful will!
"His will?"
The Ape-man Spiritual Master was startled to see Ender only swaying slightly and being unaffected by the Spiritual Force impact. "I'm Universe Level fourth-order, and he's only Stellar Rank eighth-order. The difference in Spiritual Force intensity is dozens, even hundreds of times. How can he be unaffected?"
Blocking the opponent's Spirit Weapon with his tough Blood Edge Blade, Ender transmitted in a cold tone:
"Six Universe Level individuals pursuing, I am no match, I can only flee!
"Five Universe Level individuals pursuing, I am still no match, I can only flee!"
"But with just you, a Universe Level fourth-order Spiritual Master, who gave you the confidence? To make you think you can take me on!
"Since you're the only one left, let me send you to meet your companions!"
