————————
Luo Jiujiang was unaware of Feng Xue's worries, and he was running fast on the snow.
Everything seemed to be going perfectly now: Hua Biliu had been dealt with, Xiao Ren had taken the foundation-building pill, and a pearl hung high within his dantian, constantly gleaming with keen perception, helping him survey the thickness of the nearby boundary membrane. Lu Qi and his companions had perished in the underground palace again, and the pursuit seemed like a thing of the past.
In the endless snowfield, Luo Jiujiang suddenly lost himself in the world for a moment.
Ever since he arrived in the snowy plains, he'd been on edge. After he'd finished one fight, there was another; after he'd escaped one pursuit, there was another. Disgusting things kept happening, and the situation often took a turn for the worse beyond his expectations.
However, now the situation has improved and freedom seems to be within reach.
As long as I find the thinnest boundary membrane. Luo Jiujiang raised the corner of his lips, not realizing he whistled. He thought with joy: As long as I find that boundary membrane.
The boundary membrane of the dead land was obviously tougher and stronger than that in the secret realm. Luo Jiujiang traveled a hundred miles quickly and stopped under the thinnest boundary membrane he had seen so far. He made a tentative gesture with his hand.
It was only after his perception was enhanced that Luo Jiujiang discovered that the boundary membrane was not a stretched, dead object as he had originally imagined. In fact, it gave Luo Jiujiang the feeling of slowly flowing.
It's like a pool of clear water. A punch from someone with all their might can create a dent in the surface, but the next moment it's filled up by the flowing water. However, the membrane of a world is much thicker than the water in the pool.
"...This thing should be tougher than I thought. I previously thought it was brittle." Luo Jiujiang muttered to himself, nodding from time to time. After almost making up his mind, he lowered his head and made a mark here.
Almost at the moment he lowered his head, the entire dead land suddenly erupted in chaos. Luo Jiujiang sensed a chorus of alarm bells, the earth was shaking and roaring, and the thick and bottomless snow layer collapsed, revealing the black soil underneath that had not seen the sun for years.
"how?!"
Luo Jiujiang's brow twitched as he watched helplessly as a group of monks, sheltered in a cave beneath the snow, were caught in this unnatural movement and unceremoniously "spitted out" by the earth, landing on the snow-and-sand ground, their bodies tumbling. However, before they could utter a single curse, the same crack that had "spitted" them out spewed out even more things.
It was some kind of sticky red vapor, pure in color, but it made people think of evil and weirdness the moment they saw it.
The fog silently enveloped the confused monks, and the next moment, countless hiding places on the snowy plains erupted in unison with screams!
Luo Jiujiang's eyes suddenly narrowed into two tiny pieces!
It wasn't just the sudden change in events, nor was it just the shrill cries that echoed from all directions. Before his eyes, the dozen or so cultivators were rapidly corroded by the red mist into a liquid-like state, and then each one was molded like a cast... molded...
Taotie, it’s Taotie again!
There were more than a dozen Taotie about to form in the distance, but Luo Jiujiang didn't care about them anymore. He gritted his teeth and flew to the top of the tree. Looking around, his eyes were filled with a blood-red color like purgatory.
The land where red blood is spilled is full of Taotie.
Luo Jiujiang swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. Before he could react to the scene before him, another thought quickly popped into his mind: Xiao Ren! Xiao Ren, also in the snow cave!
There was no time to search for the thinnest spot now; he could only make do with whatever was available. The membrane above Luo Jiujiang's head was already a blessing, and he dared not ask for more. He quickly leaped down from the tree, holding his long sword upside down in his left hand, his right gripping the scabbard tightly. With all his might, he roared and plunged it deep into the ground.
He unleashed this move with almost no reserve, sending a mixture of snow and earthenware flying within a ten-foot radius, leaving a deep, circular pit centered on the scabbard. Luo Jiujiang breathed a sigh of relief, and without another glance at the spot, he turned and headed back toward the snow cave.
…
Xiao Ren's luck can't be said to be good, but fortunately it's not too bad.
After the earthquake that tossed everyone around, Red Mist slowly poked its head out from the cracks in the collapsed snow cave, and Xiao Ren opened his eyes almost at the same time.
Outside the snow cave, Feng Xue and Xie Chuncan were worried that she would fail in building her foundation due to this, so they hurried over without waiting for her to stand firmly. Inside the snow cave, Xiao Ren frowned slightly after sensing the evil aura, and in the blink of an eye, he brushed away the snow on his head and flew away.
Xiao Ren has always been known for her speed. Dodging is just the most basic skill for her. After advancing to the foundation-building stage, she became even faster than before. Not even a corner of her clothes was touched by the bloody airflow.
Because both sides reacted too quickly, she almost bumped into Feng Xue when she came out. She quickly reached out to hug him around the waist, and at the same time stabbed Xie Chuncan's soft spot with her sword sheath so that he could roll away.
They were obviously lucky in this regard, but when the Taotie appeared all over the mountains the next moment, none of the three of them thought so.
Xiao Ren had just woken up, and was the most confused of all people about the situation. She looked around and turned to look at Feng Xue absentmindedly: "Sister, are these all the brothers you don't recognize?"
Feng Xue's heart was spitting blood, and she struggled to refuse, "...No, sister doesn't deserve it." Her expression looked extremely distressed, "...I was still too naive, too naive."
No matter how wildly her imagination ran wild, she could only think of mitosis, but she didn't expect that it was actually a parasite in the body!
I don’t know if it’s because people’s stimulation threshold can be raised, but after doing this again and again, Feng Xue feels like she may be a little numb at this moment.
Between the white snow and the red beast, a dark figure, running from a distance, caught everyone's attention. Luo Jiujiang came running back, breathless, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the three standing side by side. Compared to his earlier calm and smiling demeanor, he was now sweating profusely, his body covered in wounds, and his clothes torn in many places. He was truly in a state of disgrace. He didn't know how many Taotie he had to cut down in order to rush back as quickly as possible.
"I'm glad you're all okay." Luo Jiujiang said briefly.
"I'm afraid something will happen soon." Xie Chuncan said with a sullen face. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was indescribably serious and annoyed. "Why, after this incident, is the Jinyun Realm planning to stop living like this forever?"
Feng Xue sneered, "Killing people is nothing to that old pervert. The pigs in the pen killed his son, and he was too lazy to identify them one by one, so of course he killed them all, cleaned up the mess, and bought a new batch."
"I left a mark a hundred miles away. Everyone follow me and we will kill our way over there." Luo Jiujiang explained concisely.
Even at this juncture, Feng Xue, with her female sensitivity, sensed that Luo Jiujiang was in a bad mood. She asked doubtfully, "Jiujiang?"
Luo Jiujiang understood what she meant and explained in a low voice: "Ever since we came here, being hunted has become commonplace. After killing the desperado, there's still the pursuer. After beheading the pursuer, there's still Lu Qi. Without Lu Qi, there's still Hua Biliu. After Hua Biliu dies, there's another Taotie coming to this snowy plain..."
"Do they really think I, Luo Jiujiang, can be manipulated at will? I won't lose my temper no matter how much they chase and whip me?"
"I'm angry."
