When he saw the other person looking at him, Shi Kun almost peed his pants in fright. He thought about how he came from a top-tier family, was a recognized genius in cultivation, and was so handsome that countless women were infatuated with him. He had an infinitely bright future and an incredibly exciting life.
Am I just going to die silently in this dark corner?
The thought of his tall, imposing subordinate being drained of his life force by the black-armored general, leaving only a lump of something unidentifiable, sent chills down his spine.
Just then, a green light appeared on Qiao Xueying's body, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. However, she successfully broke free from her restraints and quickly ran to Shi Kun's side. She reached out and brushed her hand over his head, and a green aura covered her entire body from the top of his head.
That is the power of life, which can, to some extent, counteract the power of the dead.
Qiao Xueying's face was deathly pale, and blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth. Clearly, activating such power had taken a heavy toll on her.
"Young Master, hurry!" Because it would take a few seconds to unseal the seal, but in front of a master, one or two seconds could be fatal, so Qiao Xueying dared not delay and grabbed Shi Kun by the collar and ran towards the tunnel.
"You're courting death!" The black-armored general, caught off guard by this turn of events, flew into a rage and charged toward the two men in a flash.
Seeing the speed at which the other party was rushing towards her, a trace of despair flashed in Qiao Xueying's eyes. She gritted her teeth and a resolute look appeared on her face. She knew that there was no way she could escape today. She might as well sacrifice herself to buy time for the young master to escape and hope that he could get away.
Her long, beautiful hair transformed into countless vines that attacked the black-armored general. She was already exhausted, but now she was unleashing the power from burning her very life force.
She was also thinking of using the last two "Mirror Flower Water Moon" spells. Although she might not be able to escape from the black-armored general, she should be able to buy a few breaths of time, so that the young master would have a chance to escape.
Now her only worry is that the young master won't be able to make a quick decision and run away. If he stays to fight alongside her and they push and shove each other, wasting time, then probably none of them will escape.
Just then, a tremendous force came from behind, and she was involuntarily sent flying towards the black-armored general.
All her attention and defense were focused on the front, leaving her completely unguarded from behind, which is why she fell forward without any suspense when pushed.
Qiao Xueying's mind went blank. There was only the young master behind her, and she knew without even thinking who had pushed her.
However, she still looked back, unwilling to give up, hoping that she had been mistaken.
The sight of Shi Kun fleeing in panic finally filled her with despair. She realized that in the young master's eyes, she was nothing more than a pawn to be used as a shield at any time…
The black-armored general raised his hand and almost instantly grabbed her neck. Not to mention that the pressure from the other party made it impossible for her to resist, even if she had the ability to resist, she would be utterly despondent now.
Close your eyes and wait to be sucked dry by the other person.
After a long while, there was still no movement. When I opened my eyes, I saw the black-armored general with a complicated expression. Although its face was hidden in a cloud of black mist, I could still sense its expression.
"Another betrayal drama," the black-armored general sighed, as if the scene before him had stirred up memories from a very long time ago.
But then it suddenly snorted, "This general hates nothing more than those who betray their colleagues! Come back here!"
He raised his other hand, and a ball of black energy appeared in his palm. It then spun rapidly and quickly turned into a black hole, pointing towards the tunnel ahead.
Shi Kun was desperately running away in the tunnel when suddenly a gust of wind surged up in the tunnel, and a huge suction force came from behind him.
He lost his footing and fell backward, tumbling several times. In his haste, he plunged his sword into the stone wall to barely stop himself.
He was terrified. He had been practicing wind-based techniques, but in this raging wind, he was completely powerless to resist and could only grip the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands.
The suction from behind was so strong that he was lifted into the air, and his hands, which were gripping the sword hilt, gradually slipped away. One of his hands finally gave way and he fell, so he quickly grabbed the wall next to him to regain his balance.
He knew that being sucked in would be certain death, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. His fingernails were torn open and bleeding profusely, but he couldn't care less about that now.
"Your will to survive is strong, but it's meaningless." The black-armored general in the stone chamber sneered, his five fingers slightly curled, about to increase the force to pull the other party back.
Suddenly it froze, letting out a roar of shock and rage: "How dare you lay a finger on the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace!"
It no longer cared about dealing with Shi Kun. A cloud of black mist rose behind it, and it rode its horse straight into the room and disappeared. Qiao Xueying, whom it was holding, was also taken away with it. There was no trace of her in the entire room.
Struggling desperately in the passageway, feeling he could no longer hold on, a hint of despair flashed in Shi Kun's eyes. Suddenly, he felt the suction from behind him vanish instantly, and his body, which had been floating in mid-air, fell heavily to the ground, leaving him bruised and battered.
Even so, he was overjoyed. He didn't know what had happened behind him, and dared not explore it. He used both hands and feet to escape from the tomb. He didn't even dare to stay near the gate. He ran for miles before he was finally at ease.
On the other side, Zuan plucked the Illusionary Lotus and, while plucking off the petals one by one to feed her, said with great heartache, "Wife, do you know what I gave up for you? If you treat me badly in the future, you're not human..."
"Heh, men~" The mysterious woman's sneer echoed from the void, "Your wife is on the verge of death, yet you're still thinking about improving your cultivation, reluctant to give her away. If I were her, I would definitely feel heartbroken."
