194: Killing

Using the power of a top-grade spiritual Talisman, Shangguan Qianxue once again shook off the opponent.

But being already injured, her strength was greatly diminished at this moment, and her speed had also slowed considerably.

If not for that bell helping her block some of the illusionary power's effects, with her injuries, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Just then, she keenly sensed a presence rapidly approaching from behind.

"How is he so fast?"

Shangguan Qianxue's heart trembled with shock; ignoring her injuries, she accelerated again.

Behind her, Zhou Luo saw this scene and a smile curved up at the corner of his mouth.

With his movement technique and condition, he could catch up to the opponent without any effort.

Currently, he was deliberately maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close, simply wanting to continuously drain the opponent's strength.

It would be best if they could encounter another group of Rogue Cultivator similar to Ma Zhi, forcing her to stop and fight.

Only then could he better acquire that top-grade Magical Artifact.

Although Shangguan Qianxue was an Immortal Sect Disciple, her status as an Immortal Sect Disciple was not very useful in this Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

Zhou Luo and she were originally just strangers meeting by chance with no relationship; if there was an opportunity to take the treasures on her body, he would not let it go.

Since she had no map, Shangguan Qianxue also couldn't know her current location.

She could only try her best to rush outwards; only by leaving the Magic Forest could she potentially send a message to her fellow Disciples and gain a glimmer of hope.

Earlier, she had tried to contact the Sect.

But she hadn't expected this Magic Forest to be able to block all means of communication, causing her to lose her greatest reliance.

There were quite a few Azure Origin Sect Disciples who came to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range for training; she believed that if she called for help, someone would come.

Behind her, Zhou Luo looked at the woman's travel route and muttered, "Why is she running towards the central area?"

The closer one got to the central area, the greater the probability of encountering attacks from Rogue Cultivator, and the strength of the Cultivators would also significantly increase; her actions were simply no different from seeking Death.

Zhou Luo couldn't allow her to do this.

Otherwise, he'd become the prey instead of the predator.

So he decisively changed his attire, transforming into a Middle-aged man, intending to make a move.

Boom—

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the front.

Immediately after, a streak of crimson spiritual energy suddenly dispersed, mixed with a violent aura.

Beneath the crimson light, a gray-robed man with an evil smile appeared before Shangguan Qianxue.

"I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."

Shangguan Qianxue's face instantly turned pale upon seeing the opponent and that vast aura.

Qi Training stage, eighth level!

She never expected to encounter a strong practitioner at the Qi Training stage, eighth level here.

It truly seemed the sky wanted her Death.

The man sized up Shangguan Qianxue, his sinister eyes falling upon her fair body, and licked his lips: "Looks like my luck is good today; I actually encountered such fine goods."

The moment she saw the opponent, Shangguan Qianxue didn't hesitate at all and fled towards the rear.

There was a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

To survive, it was best to make the two of them fight each other.

Shangguan Qianxue's judgment was accurate.

But she didn't expect that the one behind her wasn't a wolf, but a little lamb.

Zhou Luo looked at the man at the Qi Training stage, eighth level, frowned, applied a spiritual Talisman, and quickly departed towards another direction.

He certainly didn't want to get involved in this kind of matter.

Qi Training stage, eighth level; without the help of an Array Formation, he wasn't confident in taking down the opponent.

In that case, he could only say goodbye to that top-grade Magical Artifact.

On the other side, the man watched Shangguan Qianxue flee, not worried at all, but his smile didn't diminish.

"Beauty, obediently be my cultivation vessel, I will definitely make you feel like you're in paradise and Hell."

Saying that, he waved his robe, his spiritual energy erupted, and he shot out like an arrow.

Powerful force erupted with a bang, and the pressure of the Qi Training stage, eighth level rolled in.

Shangguan Qianxue immediately felt her body heavy and her spiritual energy sluggish.

At the same time, in her perception, the presence that had been following behind her was actually fleeing.

She had no choice and directly threw out her last top-grade spiritual Talisman towards the rear again.

The spiritual Talisman exploded, unleashing terrifying power.

Facing the surging power unleashed by the spiritual Talisman, the man also had to temporarily avoid its edge.

Shangguan Qianxue could only try her best to run towards other directions.

Zhou Luo, who was observing all of this from the shadows, found that this time the woman had chosen the right direction.

He looked at the man who was blocked by the spiritual Talisman and began to think rapidly in his heart.

It seemed that the opponent's strength was not as terrifying as he had imagined.

Perhaps he could rely on a formation to kill the opponent.

With this thought, he quickened his steps and disappeared towards another direction.

On the other side, the spiritual Talisman bought Shangguan Qianxue a significant amount of Time.

Risking her injured body, she rapidly ran forward.

The man behind her, who had just defended against the spiritual Talisman's attack, was quite disheveled; he wore a fierce expression, not expecting the opponent to still have a top-grade spiritual Talisman on her.

The power of this spiritual Talisman was strong, but it wasn't enough to kill him.

He took a Pill, his spiritual energy erupted, and he rushed out.

In the Magic Forest, the two of them, one in front and one behind, rapidly darted through it.

Along the way, other Cultivators also noticed this scene and harbored malicious intentions, but after sensing the pressure emanating from the opponent, they retreated.

Time flowed by, and seeing that the man was getting closer and closer, Shangguan Qianxue was burning with anxiety.

She had originally wanted to take another Pill.

But the Pills she had prepared for this trip were basically all gone, and even her spiritual Talismans were few; she had no other means left.

Could it be that she was really going to die here?

Shangguan Qianxue's face showed despair.

She remembered the man mentioning "cultivation vessel" or something similar earlier; it seemed the opponent was a Disciple of the Joyful Union Sect.

If she were really caught, what awaited her might be an irreversible Hell.

Shangguan Qianxue could not possibly accept this.

If she truly couldn't escape, she could only take her own life.

"Come this way."

Just as Shangguan Qianxue was in despair, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

Her heart trembled; without time to think, she instinctively rushed towards the direction of the voice.

With Death descending, no one could make a calm judgment.

At this moment, this sentence was like a drowning person's last straw; perhaps this straw was fake, but she had to grasp it first.

"You can't escape."

The man behind her glowed crimson all over, and his speed soared.

In an instant, he had already arrived behind Shangguan Qianxue.

He reached out his right hand, wanting to grab her.

Boom—

Just then, a loud bang occurred, spiritual light burst forth, and the surrounding area was suddenly enveloped in dazzling radiance.

The man showed hesitation.

formation?

The next second, countless light blades appeared in mid-air, attacking the man.

The man's eyes darkened slightly, a killing intent on his face; he conjured a blood-colored magical sword, swung it out, and unleashed dazzling sword light to defend himself.

Shangguan Qianxue once again got a chance to catch her breath.

"Here." The voice sounded again.

She quickly approached the other party and successfully found the person who was speaking.

That was a Middle-aged man; he was holding an array disk in his hand, controlling this formation.

Shangguan Qianxue didn't know the other party, but since it was the other party who saved her, she still showed gratitude.

"Many thanks, Senior, for saving me!"
