Pei Mianman hurriedly supported him: "Aunt, don't be fooled by him. Even if you include those people from the Demonic Sect, it's impossible for them to have injured her like this. It must be Zhu Xie Chixin and his men who arrived, which is why she's in such a terrible state. With those people from the capital there, how could Chu Yan be in any danger?"
Zu An finally came to his senses. He had witnessed Chu Chuyan use the forbidden life technique in the secret realm. When she was at the fifth rank, she could fight against the ninth-rank Devouring Kun. Now that she was at the seventh rank, if it really came down to a life-or-death situation, even Mosquito Daoist might not be able to kill her easily after she used the forbidden technique.
However, since there was no aura of forbidden techniques being used from the other side from beginning to end, it proved that Chu Yan was not forced to the point of certain death.
With that thought, he completely relaxed, glared at Mosquito Taoist and cursed, "You damned mosquito, I didn't expect you to be such a liar, you scared your father to death."
Mosquito Taoist was furious: "What did you say, you brat!"
She has ruled the world for so many years, when has she ever been insulted like this by a junior?
The Mosquito Taoist's anger level has increased by 999!
Just as she was about to step forward and teach the other party a lesson, suddenly a strange, bright red bird appeared before her eyes.
The strange bird flapped its wings in front of us, then opened its sharp beak, and a peculiar sound wave came through.
Mosquito Taoist screamed and hurriedly covered his ears, but he could not block out the sound at all.
She herself was a master of sonic manipulation, and immediately realized that this was no ordinary sonic wave, but an attack targeting the soul.
She quickly composed herself and circulated her vital energy to defend herself.
Seeing her painful reaction, Pei Mianman on the other side was eager to try it herself. Zu An hurriedly pulled her away and ran, saying, "Why are you standing there and not running away now!"
His "Hundred Cries" skill is mainly mental, and it is very effective in dealing with other people's mental attacks, but it may not be as effective in actively attacking the opponent.
After all, the difference in cultivation level between him and Mosquito Taoist was simply too great.
Although Mosquito Taoist was caught off guard, Bai Ming could only delay her for a while at most, and could not cause her any real harm.
As for taking the opportunity to get close and kill her, that's wishful thinking. Although her mental state has been greatly affected, she hasn't reached the point of losing control. If she faces his attack, she can naturally retaliate.
If the gap between the two sides wasn't so large, he might have taken the risk, but since there was already an insurmountable gap between their cultivation levels, taking the risk was pointless. So he immediately grabbed Pei Mianman and ran into the depths of the mountains.
Seeing the direction the two fled, Mosquito Taoist roared in fury: "I'm going to kill you both!"
She wanted to chase after him, but her head was throbbing so badly that she had to kneel on the ground and clutch her head tightly.
However, she wasn't too worried. She knew that the opponent's skill must have a time limit, and once the effect wore off, she could catch up immediately.
Both of them were injured, and the air would still smell of their blood. No matter where they fled, they could not escape her grasp.
Meanwhile, Zu'an, who was also fleeing, was clearly aware of the problem. Mosquito Taoist had been able to catch up with them time and time again, so it was obvious that this time, if they tried to escape again, they would not be able to avoid the same outcome.
Both of them were seriously injured, and there was a lot of blood on their bodies and clothes. Even if their wounds were completely healed now, and they went to take a shower and change their clothes, they probably wouldn't be able to completely get rid of the smell of blood.
Having watched Animal World regularly, he had heard that a drop of blood diluted a thousand times could be smelled by sharks several kilometers away, so the sense of smell of these demons could not be judged by ordinary standards.
"Where do we run to now?" Pei Mianman asked worriedly.
Zu An thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and meet up with Zhu Xie Chixin, the one you mentioned. Most of the injuries that Mosquito Daoist suffered were caused by him. Since that's the case, we should be safe with him."
“But that’s only temporary safety. We’re still doomed once we get back to the capital,” Pei Mianman said, looking at him suspiciously. “You really don’t want to see Chu Yan?”
Zuan was speechless. What kind of time was this to have this woman with such a vivid imagination? "Of course it's not for that reason. Didn't I explain it to you before?"
“Alright then,” Pei Mianman said with some doubt, “but the way back is blocked by Mosquito Taoist. If we go back directly, we might run into her.”
“That’s why I’m going this way, so I can take a big detour back,” Zuan replied.
The two reached an agreement and continued traversing the mountains and forests.
After a while, a faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the air again.
"The Mosquito Taoist is almost here again." Pei Mianman looked worried. There was always this sound before the Mosquito Taoist appeared, which she guessed was because she sent her disciples and followers, the Bloodwing Black Mosquitoes, to scout in all directions.
"This guy is like a persistent ghost!" Zu An gritted his teeth in hatred, thinking that if he had a bottle of insecticide or an electric mosquito swatter, he would kill him.
Unfortunately, these are just thoughts. Even if those things from a past life really existed, they certainly wouldn't be able to handle this mosquito that has become a spirit.
Just then, the surroundings suddenly became a little brighter.
Zuan was taken aback: "It's already dawn?"
The time doesn't seem right. Could it be that time passes exceptionally quickly when being chased?
"It's not dawn, it's that!" Pei Mianman pointed to the sky in surprise.
Zuan looked up and saw what appeared to be a shooting star in the sky. However, unlike the usual fleeting shooting stars, this one was getting brighter and bigger, and getting closer and closer to the ground.
Pei Mianman instinctively gripped Zu An's arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "This strange phenomenon is an ominous sign. Do you think we might really die here today?"
Zuan found it somewhat amusing, never expecting that the usually enthusiastic and outgoing girl would have such a timid side. He patted her hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, it's just a meteorite, a normal astronomical phenomenon."
