199: Escape

Qin Shilei released his right hand from Su Xiaoxuan’s waist, and a flickering lightning bolt appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing the lightning, the Soul-Devouring Demon immediately stopped in its tracks.

The human opposite him vaguely posed a threat, and with the appearance of the highly threatening lightning, it didn't dare to act rashly for a moment.

Seeing that he had intimidated the Soul-Devouring Demon, Qin Shilei breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have time to open his Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple and look at the opponent.

Name: A Remnant Soul of a Soul-Devouring Demon.

Description: A remnant soul after devouring a large number of souls, with peak Silver Realm strength, immune to physical attacks, and capable of possessing living beings to devour their souls.

Indeed, this was a powerful Soul-Devouring Demon.

Looking at the Soul-Devouring Demon before him, Qin Shilei wasn't very confident about using it to escape Andrei's pursuit.

Both it and Andrei were demons, and he didn't know if they would team up against him.

However, the appearance of the Soul-Devouring Demon was the only turning point now; he could only pray that the Soul-Devouring Demon and Andrei were at odds.

Before Andrei could appear, the Soul-Devouring Demon began to stir.

Facing Qin Shilei’s three delicious souls, it couldn't resist the desire in its heart and slowly floated towards Qin Shilei and the others.

Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple!

Qin Shilei instantly created an illusion full of thunder and immediately pulled the opponent into the illusion.

The Soul-Devouring Demon, which had fallen for the trick immediately, stopped dead in its tracks, terrified.

Just then, Andrei kicked open the door and rushed in.

Qin Shilei then dragged Andrei into the illusion.

In Andrei's eyes, the Soul-Devouring Demon became Qin Shilei.

Andrei didn't even think, clenching his fist and punching the Soul-Devouring Demon.

“Go play with my subordinate!”

Qin Shilei dispersed the lightning in his right hand, hugged Su Xiaoxuan, and instantly teleported to the road outside.

He started running like lightning into the distance.

Behind him, as he wished, a series of fierce battle sounds erupted.

After running a few hundred meters, Qin Shilei casually released the Ghost Chariot.

“Get in quickly, and hold on tight!”

Kong Qingshu was the first to ride the chariot, tightly hugging Qin Shilei’s lower back.

Su Xiaoxuan also straddled it, reaching out to embrace Kong Qingshu.

The Ghost Chariot, like a black lightning bolt, silently surged forward.

At the next intersection, Qin Shilei turned right.

After riding another thousand meters, the sounds of battle from a distance suddenly stopped.

Qin Shilei’s heart stirred, and he rode the Ghost Chariot into a tall building nearby.

He stopped, put away the Ghost Chariot, pulled the two women, rushed up to the eighth floor, and found a random room to hide in.

“Why aren’t we continuing to escape outside the city?” Su Xiaoxuan asked.

“I need to figure out why Andrei can always find us accurately. Otherwise, even with the chariot, we won’t escape his pursuit.”

Qin Shilei explained while checking his body.

“So that's it.”

Qin Shilei quickly found a black mist on his waist.

Presumably, this black mist was the same black mist that surrounded Andrei.

The opponent had been tracking him precisely because of this black mist.

Qin Shilei’s heart stirred, and a surge of supreme yang thunder elemental energy appeared in his palm, then he pressed it onto the black mist.

With a sizzle, the black mist was engulfed by his elemental energy and vanished into the air.

“Let’s move to another place.”

Qin Shilei hugged the two women again, using the last bit of his elemental energy to instantly teleport to a tall building opposite.

As soon as he appeared in the room, Qin Shilei collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

The two women quickly held him, asking in unison, “What’s wrong with you?”

Qin Shilei said weakly, “Nothing, just exhausted. Help me to the bed, then close the doors and windows.”

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Qin Shilei immediately took out two crystals and began absorbing them.

Kong Qingshu and Su Xiaoxuan went to close the doors and windows, and also drew the curtains.

Not long after, a loud noise came from a distance.

Kong Qingshu walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and indeed found that the entire wall of a room in the middle of the opposite building had collapsed.

Through the collapsed wall, she saw a figure wantonly destroying things in the room.

Kong Qingshu didn't dare to look closely, fearing that her gaze would attract the other party's attention, and quickly let the curtain fall again.

Soon after, screams and cries for help from humans came from outside the window.

Kong Qingshu again lifted a corner of the curtain and quickly glanced out.

This single glance ignited boundless fury within her.

That demon was chasing humans on the street in the distance.

Countless humans were crying, screaming, and scattering in all directions.

Andrei, meanwhile, was chasing them slowly yet quickly from behind, a cruel smile on his face.

With a casual wave, the black mist in his hand struck a fleeing human.

The human struck by the black mist dissolved at a visible speed, quickly leaving only a pile of bleached bones.

Then the black mist, now larger, flew back into Andrei's body.

He had absorbed all of that person's flesh and soul.

“That’s a demon, a true demon,” Su Xiaoxuan whispered, letting go of the curtain that Kong Qingshu had lifted.

“Demons have appeared, is there still hope for us humans?” Kong Qingshu’s face was filled with worry.

“It’s been so long since the apocalypse, and we’re still alive; we’ll continue to live well in the future,” Su Xiaoxuan comforted her.

After a pause, she introduced herself, “I’m Su Xiaoxuan, nice to meet you!”

Kong Qingshu extended her hand and shook hers, “I’m Kong Qingshu, nice to meet you!”

Su Xiaoxuan pulled Kong Qingshu to sit beside her and began to recount the events of the past few days.

Qin Shilei, meanwhile, focused on restoring his elemental energy and spiritual power.

An hour later.

The screams from outside the window had faded into the distance.

Qin Shilei suddenly opened his eyes; his elemental energy and spiritual power had both returned to their peak.

He turned to look at the two women, just in time to hear Su Xiaoxuan ask, “Qing Shu, are you and Qin Dage a couple?”

Kong Qingshu quickly retorted, “Don’t guess wildly, we’re just ordinary friends.”

Su Xiaoxuan teased, “If you’re not a couple, then why would he travel thousands of miles to bring you to me for healing, and why did you hug and kiss him as soon as you woke up?”

Her embarrassing moment being brought up again, Kong Qingshu’s fair face immediately turned crimson.

“I… I was just dazed at the time and didn’t realize it was him.”

Kong Qingshu looked at Su Xiaoxuan’s smiling eyes and suddenly chided, “What kind of look is that? Yes, I like Qin Shilei, so what? You little rascal, you want to see me make a fool of myself, just wait until I scratch you to death!”

After speaking, she nervously glanced back towards the bed.

As she turned her head, she met Qin Shilei’s dark eyes.

For a moment, the air seemed to solidify.

Kong Qingshu once again wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

Su Xiaoxuan, unaware of the true situation, enthusiastically played matchmaker: “Qin Dage, you traveled thousands of miles to bring Qing Shu to me for treatment, so you must have feelings for her in your heart. And Qing Shu loves you too.”

“If two people love each other, why not be openly together?”

“It’s already the apocalypse; who knows when we might die. Why not follow your heart and have a passionate love affair?”
