Chapter 244 Chasing and intercepting
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Jie summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword from the Sword-Nourishing Gourd and sped off into the distance.
Since it has already been tainted by Thor's lightning net, hiding in the void is no longer of any use.
It's better to just have a straightforward speed contest.
Although Li Jie was confident in his speed, if he couldn't break through the protective formation of Asgard, he would eventually be surrounded and killed by many gods.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."
Li Jie glanced helplessly at the vast army of ghosts behind him and the two streaks of light flying towards him in mid-air, and sighed softly.
Looks like I still can't let my mind wander...
"Sir, he's too fast, we can't catch up."
"It's alright. As long as the protective formation remains intact, he definitely won't be able to escape Asgard."
"So you're just going to keep following him like this?"
Upon hearing Heimdall's voice, Thor pondered for a moment before speaking.
"You follow him from behind. I'll go and inform my father to send reinforcements."
"Understood, sir."
With that, Thor swung Mjolnir and flew toward the golden barrier above his head.
Southeast of the Netherworld City-State, Luo Ji stood atop the watchtower, gazing at the blue streaks of light on the horizon, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Little mouse...it seems you were still careless..."
"Then let me give you another gift..."
Then, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently pointed into the distance, and more than a dozen giant spatial magic arrays were formed.
The furious howls of wild beasts echoed through the space.
These ancient behemoths were Loki's last resort. In order to leave a good impression on his father, he was determined to get his hands on Li Jie, this big fat sheep!
“My child… bring him before me….”
......
In mid-air, Li Jie had no idea where he was.
Although still within the Netherworld City-State, the surrounding landscape has changed from a city to a wasteland.
Just how big is this place...?
Logically, after flying for so long, they should have reached the border of Asgard by now, but Li Jie looked around and still couldn't see the gilded barrier that enveloped the entire realm.
Ok?
Just then, angry howls of wild beasts came from all directions. Li Jie took a quick look and found...
Before he knew it, sixteen ancient behemoths, no weaker than half a step into the pinnacle of human strength, were closing in on him.
"These beasts...!"
It wasn't that Li Jie couldn't defeat these ancient behemoths; although their attack power might be average, they had the advantage of thick hides and tough flesh.
To make a simple comparison, although Loki is a god at the level of a chief god, he is actually a fragile mage.
Even if Li Jie has exhausted all means, there is still a possibility that he can defeat him head-on.
Although these ancient behemoths have not yet grown into mythical beasts, their defensive capabilities are astonishing.
Given their massive size, if Li Jie hadn't managed to kill them with a single blow, he would likely have been smashed into mincemeat by their indiscriminate attacks.
This is really troublesome...
Ultimately, he was just one person, and dealing with so many enemies was still a bit of a stretch.
fly!
Pulling himself back to reality, Li Jie sped up and flew straight ahead.
If I can break through the protective formation and rush into the mist before being surrounded by ancient behemoths and the gods of Asgard, then there is still hope for survival!
Seeing Li Jie suddenly increase his speed, Heimdall guessed what Li Jie meant. He then gave up the idea of chasing him, landed on the ground, and plunged the broadsword on his back downwards.
The moment the broadsword touched the ground, a golden six-pointed star array, ten meters in diameter, was formed.
Immediately afterwards, Heimdall gripped the hilt of the sword, exerted force, and rotated the greatsword stuck in the ground ninety degrees clockwise.
At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.
The golden threads that formed the six-pointed star array suddenly shattered, turning into countless golden specks of light that disappeared into the void.
In the blink of an eye, the protective array within the divine realm seemed to have sensed the call of the Heavenly Gate Guardians, and gradually enveloped the Netherworld City-State.
After doing all this, Heimdall loosened his grip on the sword hilt and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Luckily, he discovered it in time, otherwise the kid might have really escaped.
On Li Jie's side, just as he was about to break through the border of the Netherworld City-State, he was blocked by a thick, radiant golden barrier.
"This is troublesome..."
Li Jie frowned as he looked at the solid barrier before him, which seemed like an insurmountable chasm, and muttered to himself.
He then changed direction and flew away along the edge of the barrier into the distance.
Even if it is impossible to break through the insurmountable barrier created by Heimdall.
Li Jie couldn't stand still and waste the energy on the protective shield, after all, behind him, besides the ghost army, were sixteen mysterious behemoths at the half-step human ceiling level.
As he flew, he turned his head to look behind him.
The dense, locust-like army of ghosts seemed to have caught a whiff of his delicious scent and turned to follow him.
They moved forward in an orderly fashion.
With no good solutions, Li Jie had no choice but to grit his teeth and fly forward.
To make matters worse, Thor, along with Odin and a guard clad in gleaming gold armor, broke through the golden barrier above and tracked him down.
"They really have no shame at all..."
Seeing this, Li Jie spat lightly, stopped, stared at the golden barrier beside him, and summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword back into his hand to slash fiercely.
Clang! !
The resounding sword cry echoed through the heavens and earth, and the ghost army that was slightly closer to Li Jie was blasted into dust by the residual power of the sword energy he released.
Li Jie's sword strike was merely a test, to see if he could break through the barrier and escape into the mist on his own.
But the result was obvious: his attack did not cause any damage to the heavy protective array.
"Give up... With your meager strength, you are no match for Asgard's protective array."
"Hand over the two immortal swords obediently, and maybe I'll consider sparing your life."
Odin's aged voice rang out in mid-air, looking disdainfully at the white-haired boy who was trying to escape.
