Zhao Rui was speechless. This was the clear disadvantage of not being on his home turf.
He hurriedly dodged, streaking across the sky in another direction.
The Manghuang people immediately steered their giant birds to give chase at full speed.
The chase lasted for an entire day. Zhao Rui was becoming disoriented from all the running; after all, he hadn't seen the sun once since his arrival.
To get his bearings, he had to rely completely on a bird's-eye view from high above. If he saw the ocean, he would head in the opposite direction.
After running in a wide arc, Zhao Rui estimated he had distanced himself from the main group. Only then did he steady himself and suddenly manifest his Purple Mansion Primordial Venerable Body.
A massive palm swung toward the pursuing giant birds.
The Manghuang people, not expecting Zhao Rui to be so formidable, failed to dodge in time and were swatted to the ground.
The giant birds cried out in pain.
"HOO!"
