Chapter 968 - 966: Escape to the Mountains
"Divine Dog, how dare you betray us, I won’t let you off." Murong Kui said viciously.
"Woof woof..."
Divine Dog barked twice as if saying, "So what?"
"Hmph, you’ve got guts. Let’s see how I deal with you." Murong Kui said, striking toward Divine Dog. At that moment, Shen Yan moved, and with a swift spin, she flew in with a kick.
"Boom..."
Just as Shen Yan touched Murong Kui, she was sent flying backward, falling into the snow, and spitting out blood.
"Shen Yan, don’t attack, this person is much stronger than you." Chen Tianlong urgently advised, but just then, two more elders flashed in front of him and struck toward him.
Chen Tianlong was startled, quickly dodging, narrowly avoiding a hit.
However, Chen Tianlong was still in shock, thinking if he hadn’t run the Flying Shoes Heart Method before, he would probably have been hit.
Clearly, the two elders of Ice Spirit Sword Manor were also stunned. They never expected Chen Tianlong’s dodge speed to be so fast.
Judging by speed alone, he didn’t seem like a Celestial Dao one-star expert but rather above a Celestial Dao three-star.
Chen Tianlong, using the Flying Shoes paired with the Ghost Shadow Flash, brought Shen Yan and Lu Xiaoyu to the edge of the cliff, where the cold wind was fierce and behind them was an abyss.
Murong Kui coldly smiled, a plan taking shape in his mind.
After all, this is the Forbidden Land, even if Chen Tianlong died here, no one would know. He resolved to kill.
"Kid, you asked for it, can’t blame me."
With that, Murong Kui exerted all his strength, punched the snowy ground in front of him, and snow flew and a huge chunk of earth lifted into the air.
Murong Kui swiftly rushed over with the earth, intending to knock all three off the cliff.
At this critical moment, suddenly Lu Xiaoyu moved.
"Don’t hurt my Tianlong!"
Lu Xiaoyu closed her eyes, instantly feeling an endless power within her. She clenched her fist, then teleported in front of Murong Kui and punched with all her might.
"Boom..."
A loud explosion, and Murong Kui, like a cannonball, was directly blasted more than ten meters, heavily hitting a large rock and spitting out a mouthful of blood before dying.
The two elders stared wide-eyed, incredulously looking at Lu Xiaoyu in front of them, overwhelmed with fear!
Murong Kui was a Celestial Dao four-star, they knew, but was killed by this young girl with one punch. Then for them, it’s no different than being chopped like vegetables.
Thinking of this, the crowd hurriedly retreated, wanting to call the Manor Master over.
After the two elders retreated, the followers also slowly backed off, watching from afar.
Chen Tianlong was also very surprised, but at this moment, he knew the situation was very urgent. Lu Xiaoyu’s body couldn’t always sustain such great energy; that punch might have exhausted all her energy, and Lu Xiaoyu didn’t know how to control it.
Now Murong Kui was killed by them, Murong Tian was injured by him, if Murong Fu came, then they’d surely die without exception.
Chen Tianlong didn’t want to die just like this; he still needed to find Lin Wushuang and take her to be healed.
Thinking about it, Chen Tianlong looked at the endless snowy mountains around, suddenly remembering something, that is the Spirit Beast Eagle, Xiaogu!
Xiaogu is the spirit beast Chen Tianlong met at the snowy peak in Yunfu. Now thinking about it, this area seems close to Yunfu. For the Sky Domain, a few dozen kilometers is quite close.
Chen Tianlong wasn’t sure if Xiaogu could hear him here.
Thinking, Chen Tianlong scooped Lu Xiaoyu into his arms, who was now weak and limp.
"Chen Tianlong, do you have any ideas?"
Shen Yan also noticed the situation was bad, continuing like this, they’d all be stuck here.
"I’ll give it a try!" Chen Tianlong said as he held Lu Xiaoyu and shouted to the sky: "Xiaogu! Are you there? Hurry and save me!"
"Xiaogu! Are you there? Hurry and save me!"
Chen Tianlong shouted more than ten times, seeing no movement, he began to despair. Those people from Ice Spirit Sword Manor stared from afar, not daring to approach, but also not daring to leave.
Now that Murong Kui was killed, if they ran away and Chen Tianlong’s whereabouts became unknown, it surely would infuriate Murong Fu.
So they didn’t leave, hiding and watching from afar.
Chen Tianlong and the others knew they didn’t have much time; if Murong Fu really came over, they’d be done for.
Lu Xiaoyu’s outburst earlier was subconsciously triggered by the Ice Soul God inside, erupting within a short time. Without the Heart Method Mantra, Powerful Qi was released all at once, and at this moment, Lu Xiaoyu was like a normal person, having no combat power.
"Chen Tianlong, what should we do, just waiting like this isn’t a solution?"
Shen Yan was a bit anxious. Waiting here was akin to waiting for death, knowing Murong Fu’s strength wasn’t something they could handle, and with four elders, if they attacked together, they’d be exterminated.
"Xiaogu..."
Chen Tianlong angrily shouted, containing extremely strong penetrating power, as if placing all his bets on this one shout.
"Gulp gulp..."
Suddenly, a series of "gulp gulp" sounds came from all directions. Hearing this, Chen Tianlong was overjoyed, recognizing it clearly as his Xiaogu, the divine eagle.
"Xiaogu, is that you? Hurry and save me!" Chen Tianlong hurriedly shouted.
"Ah..."
With a scream, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in mid-air, which rushed down to the ground, appearing before Chen Tianlong in an instant.
It was the Spirit Beast Eagle, and this eagle was different from before, obviously upgraded.
"Wow, Yellow Dao five-star, Xiaogu, you’ve leveled up. That’s amazing."
Chen Tianlong praised in amazement.
The divine eagle he saw before had just become a spirit beast not long ago, and now half a year later, it’s a Yellow Dao five-star. But for a spirit beast, Xiaogu upgraded pretty fast. Unless Xiaogu had high comprehension and specifically sought places rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it’s unlikely to upgrade quickly.
"Gulp gulp..."
Seeing Chen Tianlong, Xiaogu was very happy, like seeing an old friend, constantly flapping its wings.
"Chen Tianlong, can this creature carry the three of us?"
Shen Yan was somewhat disbelieving, after all, the eagle looked quite large, but the three of them weren’t light. Could it fly up?
"Haha, rest assured, not just three, maybe five could do. Before when I met it, with not as high a level, it could easily lift two of us. Now it’s much higher level, surely no problem."
Chen Tianlong laughed and explained. Xiaogu’s arrival meant they finally had a rescue.
"Alright."
Shen Yan took a deep breath, for leaving any of the three behind wasn’t a good thing.
