Shi Kun was completely dumbfounded. This guy committed suicide because he couldn't win? Well, it's good that he's dead.
His two fourth-rank subordinates also breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was really too strange. He was said to be a third-rank, but if a normal third-rank had this kind of fighting power, they would rather cut off their heads and kick them like footballs. So seeing him commit suicide was a relief.
Holding Chu Chuyan in his arms, she could clearly feel drops of blood falling on her body. Her voice was unusually anxious: "What...what are you doing?"
She said she wanted him to kill her, so why did he kill her? Did he realize he couldn't save her and decide to commit suicide for love?
As expected of master and servant, their thoughts were surprisingly in sync.
A faint blush appeared on Chu Chuyan's extremely pale cheeks: "You don't need to do this, we're not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zuan interrupted him: "We can talk about love later. Let me kill these annoying guys first."
After saying that, he put one arm around her and pulled her close, while holding his sword in one hand with the other. He gathered his energy in his dantian and roared, "Behold my forbidden technique—Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"
As everyone was still absorbed in his bizarre behavior, he suddenly roared, and everyone involuntarily retreated. After all, Chu Chuyan had previously used a forbidden technique to instantly kill "Devouring Kun," and now everyone was somewhat apprehensive at the mention of forbidden techniques.
Given the opponent's strange behavior just now, coupled with his current state of being covered in blood and his unstoppable momentum, even Shi Kun, whose cultivation was clearly far superior to his, decided to avoid his sharp edge and observe the situation before making a decision.
Just as everyone was on guard, Zu An suddenly threw down his sword, picked up Chu Chuyan, and ran away.
Shi Kun: "???"
Qiao Xueying: "???"
Two fourth-rank martial artists: "???"
The group was taken aback, but then realized that he had been bluffing and was just trying to escape. They were furious that they had been fooled by such a simple trick.
Shi Kun's anger level increased by 666!
Anger value from a fourth-rank martial artist +233 +233!
Only Qiao Xueying had a complicated expression. Whether Zu An lived or died was not important; the key was her young lady's safety. On one hand, she wanted her young lady to take the opportunity to escape, but on the other hand, she was worried that Zu An would not be able to cure her. She was extremely conflicted.
"Chase!"
Enraged, Shi Kun chased after him with lightning speed. He cultivated a wind-based technique, which was known for its speed. Given the difference in their cultivation levels and the fact that the other person was carrying someone, he should have been able to catch up in just a few breaths. However, after chasing for quite a while, he only managed to slightly close the distance between them, which surprised him greatly.
Chu Chuyan had been puzzled by his self-harming behavior, but when he carried her away, she immediately realized what was going on and admired his resourcefulness. However, the difference in their levels meant that the outcome was inevitable: "Put me down. With your current speed, you still have a chance to escape on your own."
"Shut up, how could I abandon you?" Zu An said solemnly. He had just injured himself to trigger the explosive effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Although it was difficult to cultivate the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra through self-harm, after being seriously injured to a certain extent, one's strength, agility, and Yuan Power would enter a berserk state, and one's strength would be greatly improved compared to normal circumstances.
He had previously fought with Pei Mianman and Qiao Xueying, both fifth-rank experts, at the Chu residence, and it was through this that he escaped alive. However, he also knew that at the time, the two women were mainly hesitant to use their elemental powers for fear of alerting the Chu family's experts, and instead chose to fight him hand-to-hand, which was why he was able to hold on.
Once elemental power is used, the gap between fifth-rank cultivators and other lower-ranking cultivators becomes too great.
Shi Kun, Qiao Xueying, and their subordinates are clearly not holding back at all. Even though I have entered a berserk state, I still cannot be their match.
The reason he deliberately entered this state was not to increase his attack power, but to increase his speed to make it easier to escape. That's why he was able to hold Chu Chuyan for so long without being caught.
"In the end, there's no escaping it." Chu Chuyan sighed softly. Although she didn't know what secret technique he used to increase his speed so much, Shi Kun was naturally good at speed due to his wind element. There was a huge gap between a fifth-grade and a third-grade, so there was no way he could escape.
“There’s a place that could give us a chance to survive!” Zuan said in a deep voice, gazing at the small mountain in the distance. He had been thinking about how to escape, but even after going through all his skills and items, he still couldn’t solve his current predicament.
There is only one way: to fight to the death and then survive.
Having witnessed the terrifying zombie army enter the hill, Shi Kun and his group were unaware that leading them there might offer a glimmer of hope for survival.
He was well aware of the terrifying nature of the zombie army; the most likely outcome was that they would all die there together. But staying here meant certain death, while going there might offer a glimmer of hope. And even if they died, it would be worth it; being able to take their enemy down with them before they died wouldn't be a bad thing.
Besides, what if you're lucky enough to survive? What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?
At this moment, the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer, and Shi Kun's mocking voice came: "Hmph, run away, let's see where you can run to. When you run out of energy, that will be the time when you die."
Before he came, he determined the distance between himself and the other teachers in the college. They were all very far away and he couldn't get there in a short time.
He could catch up with his opponent in no more than half an incense stick's time.
"Xue'er, stop him!" Shi Kun shouted urgently as there was a small grove of trees ahead.
Qiao Xueying hesitated for a moment, then with a flick of her wrist, the tree in front of Zu An seemed to come alive, with various vines winding and wrapping around his legs.
