Chapter 11659 — Were It a Banished Immortal Who Came to the Rescue Today

Even the lowliest among them could, with a mere gesture, shake an entire world.
For Wei Zhao especially, at this moment, obtaining detailed intelligence on a god-tier powerhouse would carry enormous value—even strategic value.
Moreover, judging by the reaction of the Prince of Qi's Estate's Second Ancestor, one thing at least could be established: whether or not the one currently clashing with the Great Ape King was the Banished Immortal Li Zui, the god-tier powerhouse connected to the Prince of Qi's Estate was none other than the Banished Immortal Li Zui.
Zhang Tailing said quietly, "If a Banished Immortal comes to the rescue today, we might still have a chance."
Wei Zhao nodded. "Then let us wait and see."
Time crept by, second by second, and their situation grew steadily worse.
The crimson apes had all blindfolded themselves, and with only five of them left, there was no way to keep watch over everything—almost at every moment, some crimson ape was on the move.
The crux of it was that their speed of movement alternated between fast and slow, utterly impossible to predict.
The inevitable result was that the crimson apes gradually formed an encirclement around them, a ring that kept tightening until it set their hearts pounding.
The good news was that, whether because the Great Ape King was being held in check by that god-tier powerhouse or because things had simply been this way ever since the space gate turned into that giant face, the number of crimson apes had finally stopped increasing.
Though their situation was precarious at every turn, so long as they worked as one, they could still keep circling and dodging these crimson apes for a while.
After all, the crimson apes had severe limitations; given the strength of those present, if they truly set their minds to playing hide-and-seek with them, surviving three days was theoretically not so difficult a thing.
The problem was that matters clearly would not be so simple.
"Are their movements getting faster and faster?"
The short old man voiced this with his heart in his throat.
Everyone fell silent as one.
In truth, they were getting faster.
At first, though they could not observe the crimson apes' movements directly, they could still roughly infer them from the windows of time between sightings, and they judged that the creatures' speed was within controllable limits.
Even without the weakness of being sight-limited, had these crimson apes been allowed to chase them freely, they were confident enough to kite them for a good long while.
But now, in the space of a single blink—less than a hundredth of a second, if one insisted on counting—the enemy could cross a distance of a hundred meters and appear directly before their eyes.
And that was not all.
Most chilling of all, they had learned strategy, deliberately striking from the blind spots in Wei Zhao and the others' fields of vision.
For instance, appearing directly behind them, or directly above their heads.
Once or twice, they could just barely endure it, but if it kept happening, anyone would be driven out of their mind.
A defense long maintained must sooner or later fail.
The most immediate consequence was that the short old man had half his skull bitten off, following in the tall old man's footsteps on the spot and becoming a mutilated corpse.
The sight gave them all a turn.
This time it had been the short old man's bad luck; next time it could be any one of them.
After all, strictly speaking, whether it was Zhang Tailing or Wei Zhao, even if their individual strength surpassed the short old man's, it was not on the order of an entirely different dimension.
Since the crimson apes could kill the short old man in an instant, they could naturally do the same to them.
To say nothing of the remaining lean old man and Qi Zhuiyun.
