"You escaped here?" Xiu Qiyu asked. "The people chasing you should be nearby."
"That's right. The mine suddenly exploded this time, and we escaped in the chaos. They should catch up with us once they realize what's happening."
He was at least honest: "What's your name?"
"My name is Red Wing. Please, everyone, save us."
Why?
“You are probably not from the Blue Ocean Continent. If you fall into their hands, you will suffer the same fate as us.”
"How so?" Taiyan asked.
"Judging from your clothing, you must be from another continent. The Azure Continent is very hostile to outsiders. If you are caught, you are usually sold into slavery and end up in brothels or arenas. We were sold to the mines, which is considered relatively good."
"Alright, the most urgent thing now is, do you know the direction to escape to?"
"You know? We've been planning this for three years and have already drawn up a map. As long as we can enter Free City—Mo City, they won't be able to do anything to us."
"You don't have any tracking systems on you, do you?" Ye Xiruo said. "If you do, that would be a disaster."
“No, we were given a highly poisonous substance before we were sold to the mine, and they give us the antidote every now and then. So, they don’t need to worry about us escaping at all.” Red Wing looked somewhat helpless.
Before coming to the Blue Ocean Continent, they were the pride of their own continent, never expecting to end up like this.
"We can talk about the poison later. Right now, the most important thing is to get out of here."
"good."
Judging from their appearance, they don't seem to be lying. If they were, we could deal with them quickly.
Xiu Qiyu and the others quickly packed up the tent and concealed their presence.
"You lead the way, and we'll each get what we need."
"Thank you all for saving my life."
So the group hurriedly fled through the desert.
It would take at least three days to get out of this desert, and after walking for a day and a half, they were unfortunately caught up with.
Five powerful beings at the Mahayana stage came to hunt them down.
Chi Yi and the others' expressions immediately changed. The strongest among them was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and because of three years of mining, it was unknown how much of their strength they could unleash.
As for Xiu Qiyu and the others, they were far too young. There were only six people in total who had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Their Nascent Soul stage cultivation was practically useless against those at the Mahayana stage.
"Here's a map. If you can escape in a bit, then escape. Don't worry about us."
Xiu Qiyu took the map, glanced at it, and then shoved it back into Chi Yi's hands: "Do you think they'll let us go? I doubt it."
"Damn you, you lowly slave, how dare you run away."
"If we don't run away, you'll kill us." Ye Xiruo said irritably.
So what if it's a higher continent? Does that mean it doesn't value human life and can trample on other people's dignity and lives at will?
"You actually had accomplices. No wonder you dared to run away."
"They got lost in the desert, it has nothing to do with us."
"Do you think I'd believe that? To associate with a bunch of lowly slaves is to be a slave myself. Just kill them all."
The Mahayana-stage expert spoke casually, showing no concern for the lives of Ye Xiruo and the others.
Chi Yi said bitterly, "I'm sorry, we've dragged you into this." Originally, Xiu Qiyu and his group would at most be sold into slavery or miners, but now they are going to be killed.
"Hmph, kill us? We'll see if you have the ability." After fighting the Demon Lord, Ye Xiruo now sees the Mahayana stage experts as nothing special. At worst, they can fight each other. Who will win is really hard to say.
"presumptuous."
The great beings of the Mahayana stage are high above; when have they ever suffered such contempt and insult?
A powerful being in the Mahayana stage struck down with a palm, intending to kill Ye Xiruo on the spot.
The Shadowless Sword was drawn from its sheath, carrying an incomparably sharp aura, and tore apart the huge palm print with a single strike.
Damn it, they resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, and they're bullying the weak and taking advantage of their strength. It's outrageous!
Do you think you can just crush me like an ant on the ground?
The instant the Shadowless Sword was drawn, Ye Xiruo's spiritual power erupted, transforming into a giant spiked club that fiercely slashed at the Mahayana cultivator who had made the move.
Having absorbed the spiritual essence of two immortals, Ye Xiruo's spiritual power had reached a terrifying level, easily crushing the spiritual power of everyone present.
The five Mahayana masters never expected that the ant in their eyes would possess such terrifying spiritual power.
Therefore, when Ye Xiruo made this thunderous move, no one was prepared and no one expected it.
In just an instant, Ye Xiruo broke through the spiritual sea of the Mahayana cultivator, and the huge spiked club churned wildly within his sea of consciousness.
Compared to the Demon Clan Venerable, this Mahayana stage expert is truly weak. He broke through the Sea of Consciousness without exerting much effort. This time, Ye Xiruo will definitely not give him a way out.
The Mahayana cultivator clutched his head, screamed in agony, and fell from mid-air, blood streaming from his mouth and nose.
Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo were of one mind. The moment Ye Xiruo made her move, Xiu Qiyu had already prepared a deadly attack. She did not use the simultaneous attack of ten thousand swords, but only a single sword that was so fast that no one could see the shadowless sword. They only saw Xiu Qiyu's white figure.
The mighty Mahayana cultivator, with his proud head held high, his face contorted in a terrifying grimace, filled with disbelief.
His body was enveloped in invisible flames, turning to ashes inch by inch in a very short time, without even his primordial spirit having time to escape.
In that short period of time, a powerful being at the Mahayana stage died, his soul and spirit annihilated.
Chi Yi and the others: Σ(°△°|||)︴My God, this sword cultivator is too powerful. He killed a Mahayana master in one move. Could he also be a Mahayana master? He's a true master who doesn't reveal his abilities.
People of Taiyan Continent: Σ(°△°|||)︴ I had long heard of Xiu Qiyu's invincible reputation, but I never believed it. Now it seems that he is even more terrifying than the legends say.
Such strength, such a sword, is astonishing.
None of them sensed Ye Xiruo's mental attack, assuming that Xiu Qiyu was the one who made the move.
The remaining four Mahayana stage experts all looked at Ye Xiruo, their gazes filled with heavy pressure.
Ye Xiruo still maintained her harmless demeanor: "How about that? I have a built-in curse function. Anyone or any immortal who tries to kill me ends up dying."
The four Mahayana stage experts were shaken to their core. Ye Xiruo completely ignored their pressure. At such a young age, she already possessed such spiritual power.
If they weren't mistaken, the third brother's fatal injury lay in the psychological impact, not in the final sword strike.
