Chapter 73: Driving Tigers and Wolves (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  "Hiss! ——"

  A shrill cry pierced the air, almost tearing people's eardrums apart. A furious voice boomed from the sky:

  "Get out of the way and let me take care of him!"

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue's hearts skipped a beat, their bodies unmoving, their eyes narrowing into slits as they looked up. They saw the sky filled with blood-sucking female demons parting like waves, a fiery red figure shooting down at high speed.

  "Vampire Queen!"

  Both of them were in a state of shock. Shangguan Yaoyue closed her eyes, pretending to be dead and not moving at all. Lin Xi secretly praised her, his reaction was also quick, closing his eyes, even his breathing was almost imperceptible.

  The Vampire Queen's power is much stronger than that of other vampire witches. Her sense of human presence is also more intense. At this time, if she notices you, it's all over.

  In the blink of an eye, the Vampire Queen shot down with lightning speed, like a meteorite from the sky, heavily striking the thick air wall outside the black-robed man's body.

  Rumble!

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue only heard a deafening explosion in their ears, followed by a violent gust of air that swept over them, the force of which almost blew the two off the ground.

  "This vampire queen is so terrifyingly powerful!"

  The two were secretly shocked in their hearts.

  They lay on the ground, more than eighty feet away from the black-robed man, but the explosive energy still surged over, and it was so strong that one could imagine how powerful these two people were.

  The two didn't dare to move, and all they could hear was the Vampire Queen's roar, mixed with the intense explosions in the sky. Countless vampire witches let out angry shrill cries, and then seemed to have joined the battle as well.

  "It's almost time, let's go."

  When the battle was intense, Lin Xi awakened Shangguan Yaoyue. This little girl had her eyes tightly closed, and her nose tip was tense with sweat dripping out.

  "Ah! Good! Hurry up and leave this place."

  Shangguan Yaoyue opened her eyes.

  The next moment something shocking happened. The two "mutually destructive" and "same fate" guys suddenly jumped up with vigor, and escaped at an astonishing speed.

  "What?! How can such a thing happen?!"

  A female vampire inadvertently saw it and was so shocked that her eyeballs almost popped out.

  At this moment, neither the black-robed man nor the vampire queen paid any attention to them. Both sides had already exchanged real blows. Even all the female vampires joined in, and the battle was extremely fierce.

  As the two escaped, only three or four vampire women chased after them. The others surrounded the man in black and joined the battle to help the Vampire Queen.

  "Let's go around in a circle and take advantage of him being tied up. Hurry back to the Trial Gate!"

  Lin Xidao.

  "Hmm. Both of these guys are too abnormal. Neither side is something we can handle."

  Shangguan Yaoyue's heart was racing with worry, and as she fled, she didn't forget to summon the golden toad, striking down a blood-sucking female demon.

  Lin Xi's back flashed with sword light, similarly resolving another vampire succubus that got too close, cutting her in two. The remaining vampire succubus let out a scream and fled in fright.

  The two of them suddenly had two more vampire hearts on their bodies.

  "Ah! ——"

  Suddenly, a shrill cry came from afar. Then there was a rumbling sound like the galloping of ten thousand horses.

  "It's the voice of the Vampire Queen!"

  "This guy can't be so perverted!"

  The two men's faces stiffened and their complexions changed greatly. Listening to the last loud noise, it was clearly the sound of that black-robed man breaking out of the encirclement.

  "Bad! Run away quickly!"

  The two of them didn't dare stop anymore and desperately ran towards the direction of the Trial Gate.

  Bang!

  In the midst of a mountain range, a yellow dust trail stretched for nearly ten miles, finally surging up to the top of a mountain. As the dust dispersed, a figure emerged. The black-robed man's hair was disheveled at this time, his body covered in deep claw marks, bloodstains, and his eyes were also somewhat dull. However, his killing intent had not diminished.

  Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue were right.

  No matter how powerful the black-robed man was, he couldn't withstand the attack of a blood-sucking queen who was comparable to a Refining Qi Realm cultivator, plus the attacks of over a hundred blood-sucking female demons. True energy wasn't infinite either, and there would always be a day when it was exhausted.

  When he sensed that Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue's auras had disappeared, the black-robed man made a swift decision, using all his strength to severely injure the Vampire Queen. As the saying goes, "To shoot at people, first shoot their horses; to capture bandits, first capture their leader." Indeed, once the Vampire Queen was seriously injured, all the female vampire demons fell into chaos. After killing over a dozen female vampires that came chasing after him, there were no more pursuers left.

  But he was also seriously injured.

  "If I let you escape at this time, I would be a useless Qi Refiner!"

  A man in a black robe stood at the top of the mountain, gazing at two black dots in the distance. The next moment, his hands formed a seal, and a strange light shot out from his eyes:

  "Bloodfall Secret Technique!"

  He suddenly bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. This mouthful of blood sprayed out, the black-robed man's breath burst forth, and even the light in his eyes became much brighter.

  Whoosh!

  He suddenly burst out, instantly turning into a bloody rainbow, with an astonishing sharp whistle, chasing after Shangguan Yuxue and Lin Xi. His speed at this moment was more than twice that of the two.

  "No good! The Bloodfall Secret Art! He's used a secret technique to stimulate his hidden potential, and now his speed, true energy, and physical strength have all increased greatly. We can't beat him!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue saw the blood rainbow and recognized at a glance the secret technique used by her opponent.

  "What?!"

  Lin Xi heard that his opponent's true energy had greatly increased, and he suddenly changed color.

  Those with strong internal energy move at incredible speeds, covering hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye. Although he was initially far from Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue, just a moment later, the distance between them had shrunk significantly.

  Lin Xi's expression changed, and many thoughts flashed through his eyes.

  At present, they need to run to the Trial Gate, at least for a stick of incense. However, it is obvious that before they can reach the Trial Gate, the black-robed man will catch up with them. With his Bloodfall Secret Art, even if Lin He and Shangguan Yuxue join forces, they won't be a match for him, and it will be a dead end.

  "Get out!"

  Lin Xi suddenly stopped.

  "You're crazy!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue was greatly shocked. Lin Xi's actions were too shocking.

  Lin Xi's expression was very calm:

  "If we two run together, we will surely die. One of us must stay behind and cut off the pursuit, so that the other can escape."

  Lin Xi's words hit the nail on the head. In front of a strong cultivator in the Refining stage, there is no luck.

  The gap between Wudang's 10th layer and Lianqi realm is too big!

  Shangguan Yaoyue had nothing to do with this matter, she was completely innocent and got involved by herself. Lin Xi was not a person who was overflowing with love, nor was he someone who would sacrifice himself for others. However, if he had to watch Shangguan Yaoyue die because of him, Lin Xi still couldn't remain unmoved.

  At least, Lin Xi couldn't get past the hurdle of his conscience.

  The situation in front of me is a dead end. Excluding the factor of the law enforcement tool, Yu Guan Xue's real strength is not as good as mine. If I let her stay, it will not achieve the effect of breaking off. It can only be myself who stays.

  At least I still have the Wan Huang Fa Yi on me, which can reduce damage. Who knows, if there's an opportunity, I might even be able to escape.

  …………

  "This is for you. With this heart, you can absolutely pass the Xian Dao assessment of Shen Xiao Sect."

  Lin Xi handed over the heart of the female vampire who had been strung around his waist.

  "You... you're crazy!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue was stunned.

  She admitted that she had some despicable thoughts of "running away" before, but that was just a thought, and absolutely did not really want to do so.

  She was secretly complaining about Lin Xi in her heart and got herself involved in this whirlpool.

  However, she never thought of sacrificing Lin Xi in order to gain an opportunity for herself to escape.

  She Shangguan Yaoyue may have a little bit of personal feelings, but she is absolutely not that kind of heartless and ruthless person. Who does this guy think he is!

  "Go. I never thought you were heartless and ungrateful. Go, if you pass the Immortal Dao assessment, if you have a mind to, you might even be able to avenge me. Staying now is just sending yourself to death for nothing."

  Lin Xi saw through her thoughts at a glance and said calmly.

  The power of the Long family far exceeded his imagination. He had thought that the Long family was only a mid-to-lower level family in the Shenyue Sect, and couldn't even interfere with the Immortal Dao assessment. But unexpectedly, they were able to send a strong Qi-refining realm cultivator into the trial grounds to assassinate him.

  "You really think highly of me, sending a strong Qi Refining stage cultivator to kill me."

  Lin Xi smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart:

  "If I have the chance, Long Shi family, I will definitely uproot you all."

  Shangguan Yaoyue looked at Lin Xi's calm face, but when she saw the hint of a carefree smile at the corner of his mouth, her eyes suddenly became moist, and she felt an inexplicable emotion: "This guy..."

  Shangguan Yaoyue wasn't a wishy-washy person either, although she didn't want to admit it, but she also knew that Lin Xi was telling the truth. If two people ran together, both would definitely die.

  With a sudden bite of her silver teeth, Shangguan Yaushe handed over the golden gecko.

  "This is a secondary, mid-grade artifact. I've always used fresh blood to activate it. There's no way to bring out its true power. This golden guillotine, I'll lend it to you for now. - Remember, after this is all over, be sure to return it to me personally! I wouldn't want this artifact to fall into that scoundrel's hands."

  Shangguan Yaoyue said fiercely.

  Even a mid-grade artifact, let alone for a Qi Refiner, is precious beyond measure. Even a secondary mid-grade artifact is the same. It's absolutely impossible to lend it to others easily.

  But Shangguan Yaoyue absolutely refused to admit that she had unusual feelings for Lin Xi in her heart.

  Lin Xi was slightly surprised. He had originally thought it was just a low-grade magic artifact. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a mid-grade magic artifact. Although according to Shangguan Yaoyue's words, it belonged to the lower grade of mid-grade magic artifacts, but it was still quite impressive.

  "Don't worry, I'll definitely return it to you personally. I'm just cutting off ties, not sending myself to death."

  Lin Xi smiled and said.

  Shangguan Yaoyue obviously didn't cherish that artifact, she let herself hand it over to him, actually just hoping to return alive. Lin Xi wasn't a fool either, and naturally also vaguely understood the unusual emotions in the girl's heart.

  Shangguan Yaoyue burst into tears and then laughed.

  "Let's go. If we're late, we might not be able to escape."

  Lin Xi took over the law enforcement instrument and said seriously.

  Shangguan Yaoyue didn't hesitate this time, and after telling Lin Xi the method of using the Golden Toad, she immediately flew towards the direction of the Trial Gate.

  Yu Xiaolong was left alone in the forest, took a glance at the blood rainbow that had swiftly escaped, and ran off in another direction.
