Chapter 72: Escaping (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)
Just as the two were about to die at the hands of this powerful cultivator, in a moment of desperation, Yuwen Yushuang gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.
"Golden Toad opens its mouth, copper coins fall to the ground. —— Summon Treasure Copper Coins, Explode!"
Shangguan Yaoyue let out a loud shout. Suddenly, the golden toad that had fallen to the ground opened its mouth and spat out a copper coin. The coin wasn't very large, but it emitted a strange aura of primordial energy fluctuations.
As soon as this copper coin appeared, it immediately rolled over and flew towards the man in black.
The man in black was originally going to make a move on Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue, but as soon as the copper coin flew out, his expression changed suddenly.
"One-Shot Legal Treasure!"
The man in black robes changed his expression, without thinking, he suddenly turned around and burst out. He transformed into a wall of true energy over one zhang thick, wrapping himself up tightly.
Boom!
A deafening sound shook the sky and earth, filling the air with a diffuse golden light. The black-robed man let out a muffled groan as the thick wall of true energy surrounding his body was blasted open layer by layer, shattering into pieces. In an instant, the light flashed, and the black-robed man's blood splattered everywhere as he was violently sent flying.
The power burst out from this small copper coin is simply unimaginable!
Even with the cultivation of a black-robed man in the Refining Qi Realm, he couldn't withstand it! All that could be seen was the fog caused by the explosion filling the air.
"Hurry! My treasured copper coin, I only have this one left! He can't be killed!"
Shangguan Yaoyue hastily grabbed Lin Xi and exclaimed.
Lin Xi nodded silently, picked up the sword and fled with Shangguan Yaoyue. He took advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the killer in the Refining Qi realm.
However, as they say, a dying centipede still has one last bite. Even if the opponent only had one last breath left, Lin Xi was not able to withstand their final blow.
The true energy possessed by those in the Refining Qi Realm is too powerful. For a martial artist of the 10th rank, it forms an overwhelming advantage!
"Go!"
The two of them instantly sprinted out over a hundred yards, pulling away from each other.
The direction of the Trial Gate can no longer be passed. There are strong cultivators guarding there, and the terrain is flat, with nothing in sight, making it impossible to hide.
The only way out now is to escape into the depths of space.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the two people vanished into thin air.
Just after the two disappeared.
Bang!
A surge of true energy spread out, like a boulder crushing down, dispersing the surrounding mist cleanly.
"How interesting. There's actually a disposable treasure of this level of spiritual energy refinement. The girl by Lin Xi's side doesn't have a simple background either."
The man in black reappeared on earth.
His black robe was somewhat tattered, with some fresh blood splattered on his chest, but he still looked spirited and unscathed. Apparently, the injury wasn't serious.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his black robe, the powerful cultivator immediately took to the air like a large bird, rapidly chasing in the direction that Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue had disappeared.
…………
A little closer, Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue soon felt the presence of that killer again.
"Damn it! This guy is catching up again!"
Shangguan Yaoyue's silver teeth were clenched tightly, her heart still seething with anger:
"How infuriating! If only I had a higher cultivation level, I wouldn't have been unable to unleash the power of the Golden Toad. How could I be chased down like this by someone who's only at the first stage of Qi Refining?"
"Hurry up! In just a moment, he'll probably catch up with us."
Lin Xi's complexion changed slightly. This was his first deep experience of the power of a high-ranking cultivator in the Refining Qi stage.
The only comfort for the two was that this strong cultivator in the Refining stage did not possess the ability to fly or traverse through the air. Although his speed was still very fast, it wasn't so fast as to leave the two in the dust.
Otherwise, there's no need for them to escape either, they can just kill themselves directly.
"Hiss! ——"
Suddenly, from the distant mountainside, a loud whistling sound echoed through the air. A female vampire discovered the two of them and let out a summoning call.
"Hahaha! Humans, everyone come quickly!"
"Kill them, tear out their throats, and drink their blood!"
"Long live Her Majesty!"
It was just a blink of an eye, and a group of vampire witches, densely packed, shot towards the two people's direction.
"It's all over! We have wolves in front of us and tigers behind us - we're done for!"
Shangguan Yaoyue's calmness has been exhausted until now, thoroughly drained. Her entire person is withered and discolored, her heart as dead ash.
A cultivator at the Refining Qi stage was already hard to deal with. Now a group of blood-drinking female demons had appeared, this was a dead end that was sure to lose!
After all, Shangguan Yaoyue was just a seventeen-year-old girl. Although she had cunning and cleverness that other girls didn't have, when faced with real death, she would still reveal the weak side of a young girl.
"Yao Xue, do you believe me?!"
At this time, the only one who remained calm was Lin Xi. For someone who had died once, facing such a predicament was already a matter of experience. Far from being flustered like others.
The first time is life, the second time is familiarity.
For Lin Xi, it was just a return to the starting point. To die once more, as if nothing had ever happened. In fact, from the very beginning until now, Lin Xi had remained silent, because his mind had been constantly thinking of countermeasures.
Before the desperate situation, Lin Xi did not want to give up!
Enough composure, coupled with great confidence, at this time, more rich in tension and infectiousness. Shangguan Yaoyue suddenly calmed down, and her eyes regained a bit of clarity.
"You go ahead and say it, I'll believe you."
Shangguan Yaoyue said.
She gazed at Lin Xi, and suddenly felt that Lin Xi's eyes were like a quiet night, incredibly clear and incredibly deep.
"In a little while, when I lay you down, you just lie down. Don't move."
Lin Xi said, whispering a few words in Shangguan Yaoyue's ear.
"Really?"
Shangguan Yaoyue's eyes widened.
"It's possible if you try, but it's absolutely impossible if you don't!"
Lin Xidao.
Behind him, a powerful aura like a tidal wave quickly closed in.
"Hmph! Where can you escape to?"
The man in black robe flashed and instantly turned into a black lightning bolt, rapidly approaching Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue.
Three hundred zhang, two hundred zhang, the distance is getting closer and closer...
At the same time, Ji's eerie laughter floated down from above, and a dense swarm of blood-sucking female demons closed in, their eyes gleaming with excitement, their fingernails twitching.
But at this moment, something happened that shocked all the vampire girls.
In the very front, two human youths, a boy and a girl, suddenly started fighting.
"The deep-seated hatred between us will be settled once and for all today! Come on, let's end it with our lives!"
"Hmph! I was afraid you wouldn't have the guts!"
Under the gaze of hundreds of shocked, puzzled, astonished and bewildered eyes, these two human youths suddenly drew their swords and began a fierce fight, each blow fatal, extremely ruthless, as if refusing to yield until one of them died.
"Come on! Let's die together!"
"Die!"
The two men suddenly let out a loud shout, slapped each other on the back, and with a splatter of fresh blood, they fell to the ground, motionless.
"What's going on here? Have they both gone mad?"
A female vampire's eyes were about to pop out, her brain was almost short-circuited.
"They kill each other, humans always do this!"
A vampire witch cried out beside her. The surrounding vampire witches all nodded in agreement.
"Could it be that they are deceiving us? Humans can be very cunning!"
"Blood has splattered so high, it shouldn't be fake. —Never mind, first kill that human martial artist. If those two young humans aren't dead yet, we'll just have to kill them again later."
……
A group of female vampires chattered, but their speed didn't slow down at all. The bat wings spread out and swooped over Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue's heads, flying towards the black-robed man.
"Pathetic!"
The man in black naturally also saw Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue fall down. He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death, that Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue would kill each other. This trick is too clumsy. He didn't even bother to expose it.
Whether lying on the ground pretending to be dead or running away, just kill them all directly!
But what happened next was astonishing. The group of female vampires surprisingly spared Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue, and instead flew towards him.
"Looking for death!"
The man in black furrowed his brow and released a cold killing intent.
These blood-drinking female demons are nothing more than the equivalent of a tenth-level Thunderclap Realm cultivator. And for a strong Qi Refining Realm cultivator with abundant true energy, what they fear the least is this kind of group attack that only relies on physical strength.
Bang! Bang!
True energy burst out, like a tidal wave, overwhelming the sky and earth. Seven or eight blood-sucking female demons didn't even let out a hum before being blown to smithereens.
"Ah! He's a Qi Refiner!"
"He killed our seven sisters, kill him!"
"Don't let him go!"
……
The man in black made a move, provoking the entire vampire crowd, which completely boiled over. All the vampires rushed to him from all sides, covering the sky and earth.
Seeing these crazy vampire witches, the black-robed man's face also changed slightly. Now, even his line of sight was blocked, and he couldn't see where Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue were either.
"Looking for death!"
A black-robed man let out a loud roar, and bursts of true energy exploded continuously. Countless fragments of blood-drinking female demons fell down like raindrops. However, the numerous blood-drinking female demons immediately pounced on him again. In just one blink of an eye, they completely engulfed the black-robed man.
All of the female vampires have been completely drawn over. The more people the man in black kills, the crazier and angrier the surrounding female vampires become.
"How did you know this trick would work?"
On the ground, Yu Xue was lying motionless on the ground, blinking her eyes.
"Because vampires don't like dead people's blood!"
Lin Xi nodded with her eyes.
"Ah!"
Shangguan Yaoyue's eyes widened. She didn't even know what this thing was.
She didn't know, however, that this was the form Lin Xi saw when he looked at the vampire, and it resembled the blood clan from another world. The blood clan didn't like dead people's blood.
So Lin Xi dared to take a gamble.
It turns out that vampires really have a special fondness for the blood of living people!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bursts of explosions keep coming from the dense Vampire Witch core. Every explosion must have a piece of Vampire Witch debris splashing out.
Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue were secretly shocked.
The combat power of the black-robed man is incredibly strong. Surrounded by hundreds of crazy vampire witches, he still managed to land a series of fierce blows, his dominance was truly heart-stopping!
The overbearing power of a strong Refiner's Qi Realm is once again displayed without reservation!
