I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 642: Chapter 589: Escape

Outside Tianlang Shell Field.

Zhuge Ziqian and Moh Baichun released numerous armors to block the pursuers from behind, supporting each other as they escaped deeper into the forest.

The two of them were sent on a mission to investigate because the Xiong Family in the Eight Immortals River Basin was acting unusually, potentially plotting against the Zhuge Family.

In fact, this mission was assigned to Zhuge Ziqian by the Family Head Zhuge Shou, with Moh Baichun merely accompanying him.

They tracked the people dispatched by the Xiong Family to the Seven Stars River to exorcise demons, following the clues and finally finding this place, uncovering their conspiracy.

Zhuge Ziqian didn’t expect that Moh Baichun would get involved and get injured to save him.

They had just used a miniature scouting armor to sneak into the conspirators’ location outside the Shell Field, but unexpectedly got discovered. A masked early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator suddenly appeared behind them.

If Moh Baichun hadn’t blocked a palm strike intended for Zhuge Ziqian from the Divinity Transformation cultivator, Zhuge Ziqian might have died on the spot.

Now they can confirm that the Heavenly Star Sect from the Seven Stars River, the Xiong Family from the Eight Immortals River, and a group of evil Dao loose cultivators from the Jiuxiao River have formed an alliance, aiming to capture the entire Lower Three Rivers Basin.

Although the Xiong Family hadn’t appeared directly, the technique the Divinity Transformation cultivator used to injure Moh Baichun was indeed one of the Xiong Family’s secret techniques, the Qilin Palm!

Zhuge Ziqian saw it very clearly, unmistakably, if not for Moh Baichun’s lifesaving method, at this moment, perhaps...

Puff!

Moh Baichun spat out another mouthful of fresh blood and stumbled to his knees, ”Damn it, I really am...”

Moh Baichun was furious. With Zhuge Ziqian by her side, she forcibly swallowed the curse words that were on the tip of her tongue, took out an Elixir, and consumed it to suppress the rampaging Qilin Palm force in her Elixir Field Meridians.

Rumble!

Explosions sounded from behind, magical lights shot into the sky, and the residual shockwaves swept across like knives scraping their backs.

The pursuers weren’t only from Heavenly Star Sect and the evil cultivators; Xiong Family’s Divinity Transformation cultivator was hidden in the dark, ready to deliver them a fatal blow at any time.

Zhuge Ziqian looked at Moh Baichun with eyes full of pain, suddenly speaking in a deep voice, ”Senior Sister Wuchen, you go first, I’ll stay to delay them for a moment.”

After saying this, Zhuge Ziqian released many palm-sized Little Spiders from his Storage Ring, which quickly hid among the bushes and shrubs.

Moh Baichun gave Zhuge Ziqian a deep look, clenched her fists, and finally gritted her teeth, escaping alone.

Noticing the person behind him moving away, Zhuge Ziqian didn’t show a trace of disappointment. Instead, he smiled, standing alone in the pitch-black forest, like a steadfast jade tree, unmoving.

When a female evil cultivator disguised as Chenzhou Wanderer at the early-stage Nascent Soul rushed out of the flames, releasing dozens of evil ghosts to attack Zhuge Ziqian, the hidden Little Spiders suddenly leaped out, weaving a large, resilient web across the sky and ground.

Zzzt!

Electric currents flowed like tides, silver light dazzling, and the group of evil ghosts collided with the electric web unexpectedly, instantly turning into ash with a harrowing scream.

This was the Little Spider Zhuge Ziqian had learned from Jiang Yuebai and improved upon himself.

Seeing this, the female evil cultivator’s eyes trembled, watching as the great web descended upon her, quickly retreating. However, the special runes on the Little Spider made it as fast as lightning, all exploding upon reaching her.

Boom boom boom!

A vast wave of electricity surged forward, sending the female evil cultivator spiraling backward, slamming into a large tree, which exploded under the residual shock.

Zhuge Ziqian smiled knowingly. It’s not always the large and complex armors that are powerful; even small things, when used correctly, can be very effective.

Behind the female evil cultivator, three Golden Core evil cultivators led a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators charging at them. Zhuge Ziqian’s expression shifted, releasing another armor.

The armor landed, transforming into a scattering crossbow in the sound of metallic clanks, sending a storm of bolts at the group.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly attacked from Zhuge Ziqian’s right. Shocked, his right arm’s bracelet glowed intensely, instantly transforming into a shield.

Boom!

The Qilin phantom fiercely struck the shield, and the splinters of the shattered shield grazed Zhuge Ziqian’s fair face. His right arm shattered with the shield, sending him flying backward under the overwhelming force.

”Sigh!”

A heavy sigh appeared out of nowhere. Zhuge Ziqian was caught mid-air by someone, who cushioned his fall with a familiar woody scent hitting his nose, making his heart tremble.

Shocked, Zhuge Ziqian turned his head to see Moh Baichun’s tightly furrowed brows.

An Elixir was stuffed into his mouth, stopping him from speaking.

”Shut up, damn it, I really am...”

Yet again, the obscenities remained unsaid. Moh Baichun looked at Zhuge Ziqian’s broken right arm with pained eyes, clenching her teeth, fists tightly shut, glaring ahead.

A masked Divinity Transformation cultivator stood beside the female evil cultivator, watching them coldly as if looking at dead people. The oppressive force that belonged to Divinity Transformation cultivators swept over them in waves, exerting unmatched pressure on Moh Baichun.

Ordinarily, Moh Baichun would have fled by now, but this fool, she couldn’t bear to leave him.

”Old dog of the Xiong Family, don’t think I can’t recognize you just because you’re masked. If you don’t kill me today, I’ll spread the word about what I just heard, and you and the Xiong Family can await judgment from the Three Rivers Immortal Palace!”

Moh Baichun cursed angrily, leaving Zhuge Ziqian surprised as to why she was provoking the enemy. At this moment, whether they could escape from the Divinity Transformation cultivator was still uncertain.

Moh Baichun coldly surveyed the female evil cultivator and whispered to Zhuge Ziqian, ”Don’t worry, no one will snatch away what’s already in my mouth!”

The female evil cultivator glared back at Moh Baichun, whispering to the Divinity Transformation cultivator beside her, ”Master, we can’t let them leave not knowing what they heard today.”

Although the Divinity Transformation cultivator was wary of Zhuge Family, the situation left him no choice but to act ruthlessly.

In case the Zhuge Family pursued, there was a scapegoat in the form of the Chenzhou Wanderer!

With this thought, the Divinity Transformation cultivator’s eyes turned fierce, unleashing a terrifying power that materialized as a ferocious Black Qilin phantom charging at Moh Baichun and Zhuge Ziqian.

The female evil cultivator’s eyes gleamed, and the evil cultivators behind her watched eagerly, waiting to see how the two would die.

Moh Baichun’s lips curled slightly, throwing out a defense armor that erected a giant bronze shield between them. The shield was covered in tortoise shell patterns.

The Divinity Transformation cultivator smirked contemptuously, recognizing the shield as a Child and Mother Array composed of numerous low-level ’Turtle Shell Talismans.’ To think this could block his Qilin Dharma—it was simply naive!

Roar!

As the Qilin roared and struck, Moh Baichun internally shouted, hoping desperately that she wasn’t being let down!!!

Boom!

The Qilin Dharma fiercely collided with the bronze shield, but instead of shattering, the shield erupted with an intense brilliance, suddenly changing.

The Turtle Shell Talisman Array morphed into an Anti-Armor Talisman Array, reflecting more than half of the Qilin Dharma’s power before shattering.

The thunderous sound echoed across the world, and the Qilin Dharma shattered into countless ray fragments, tearing through everything in its path, pulverizing the ground and trees.

The Divinity Transformation cultivator, the female evil cultivator, and their cohort were caught off guard, horrified, and swallowed by the sweeping rays.

A blood mist exploded, they turned to blood foam before even managing a scream.

Only the female evil cultivator was saved in time by the Divinity Transformation cultivator beside her, but even he was jolted by his reflected power, stumbling back and bleeding from the mouth.

”Master?!”

Furious, the Divinity Transformation cultivator lifted his head, seeing no trace of Moh Baichun or Zhuge Ziqian. How could he have anticipated the Turtle Shell Talisman Array becoming an Anti-Injury Talisman Array?

”Keep chasing! Tonight we must tear them into pieces!”
