It happened too fast, and neither Kendra nor her friends were quick enough to react to it.
Suddenly, the formation was broken up.
Kendra suffered the most when the Crazy Sphinx knocked her. She moaned in pain and fell mid-air.
When she landed on the ground, her shoulder was covered in blood. Her face looked pale, hinting that she was very weak.
It caught Herbert and the rest of the disciples by surprise. All of them could only stand there with their minds blank.
'What happened? The Crazy Sphinx had broken the Six-Man Gyro Formation, but… he's just a beast. Even if he has the intelligence, he should not be smart enough to figure it out yet, he found the weak point of the formation. How unbelievable.'
No one knew the person who found the weak point of the formation was Darryl and not the Crazy Sphinx.
The Crazy Sphinx took the opportunity and dashed out of the formation like a fierce tiger. Within a blink of an eye, he was in front of Darryl. As the Crazy Sphinx still exuded a scary aura, the few disciples guarding Darryl got scared and ran away immediately.
No one dared to stay to wait to be killed since the Crazy Sphinx was capable of breaking through the Six-Man Gyro Formation.
The Crazy Sphinx did not go after the disciples. Instead, he dashed over, put Darryl onto his back, and said gratefully, "Thank you, beast lord. Let me take you out of here."
He figured that Darryl was captured by the people of the Godly Eagle Sect. His first reaction was to take Darryl to escape with him.
Darryl nodded. Without saying anything else, the Crazy Sphinx dashed out like a bullet and disappeared into nowhere. When everyone regained their senses, the Crazy Sphinx and Darryl were already far away.
'Damn it!' A few seconds later, Herbert finally realized what had happened. His face looked very terrible. The taste of success was almost in his mouth, yet the Crazy Sphinx managed to escape at the most critical moment. No one could accept the defeat.
He looked at Kendra while speaking softly, "It's alright. It's not entirely your fault. I made a mistake too. However, this guy must not be any ordinary guy since he could unlock the Heavenly Secret Lock and let the Crazy Sphinx take him. You must be extra careful the next time you see him."
"Yes, Master." Kendra nodded her head while there was anger in her eyes. 'I was too careless to let Darryl escape. The next time I capture him, I will definitely let him know not to mess with me.'
…
On the other side, the Crazy Sphinx ran out of the ancient tombs and was already outside the hidden ruins.
"Beast lord." The Crazy Sphinx put Darryl down and spoke respectfully, "Thank you for your help. I could escape because of you. Please allow me to be by your side from now on." He crawled on the ground to show his respect and humility.
Darryl was very pleased with himself with this situation. 'Haha… I thought I was done for when I was in the ancient tombs. I never thought the Crazy Sphinx would save me and even bow down to me.'
