Chapter 273: Chapter 158: With My 400 Years of Life, Please Advise_4

Under the burning of Life Essence, his power inflated infinitely, and in the blink of an eye, it had surged more than tenfold.

Qin Yun moved.

Carrying the pitch-black demonic power, like an unparalleled demon, he mercilessly attacked Ghost Mask, just as he had said before; receiving a strike was to repay a favor, and next would be a life-and-death confrontation.

Ghost Mask was both shocked and furious. ”Good! I have indeed misjudged, lifting a stone only to drop it on my own foot.”

His expression was more serious than ever; Qin Yun’s current power was enough to command his respect. ”Boom!!”

The sound of the Power of Heaven and Earth colliding echoed through Yan Mountain, transforming into ripples that swept through the forests, ancient trees shattered into fragments, mountains trembled, and ten thousand beasts wailed in sorrow.

Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua, who were fleeing swiftly, nearly lost their footing and fell to the ground, scared and looking upward, vaguely seeing two figures rushing towards the sky, only to dive back into the mountains, with constant tremors transmitting to them. Those proximal battle aftershocks were enough to tear them apart.

Jiang Baishan’s face was filled with grief, his nails digging into his flesh: ”Ba!”

At this moment, he loathed his own helplessness. He yearned for power more than anything; otherwise, why let his junior brother stay behind for him. ”It’s the Sad White Hair Secret Technique, Junior Brother Ba is burning life to fight, otherwise he couldn’t possibly be evenly matched with Ghost Mask.”

Lin Ruhua’s face was also somewhat complicated, carrying gratitude and guilt.

The first time she knew of Qin Yun was when her mother intentionally matched the two, but back then, she already fancied Jiang Baishan. After learning that Qin Yun was a traitor to the True Martial Sect, she had never shown him a good face.

Only later did she know Qin Yun had done much secretly for the True Martial Sect, and now, when she and her husband were in a dire situation, he spared no effort to sacrifice himself to cover them. Such a favor was hard to repay.

Jiang Baishan’s eyes reddened, holding back tears. He desperately wanted to go back and fight alongside, but that would merely waste Qin Yun’s goodwill.

Lin Ruhua comforted: ”If we can survive, we will annihilate the Demon Sect in the future to avenge Junior Brother Ba!”

Her eyes turned icy cold; today’s encounter would be remembered for a lifetime. Moreover, from Elder Ye’s previous attitude, it was not hard to discern that her mother’s situation might also be far from ideal. If so, she had nothing more to worry about.

Revenge!

This was already an obsession in both of their hearts.

But the premise was to stay alive.

They no longer looked back, desperately fleeing towards Lei State City, the central area of Lei State, where the Imperial Court’s army and countless experts were stationed. Even Ghost Mask would not dare to take risks there easily, this was their only hope.

Although the distance from there to Lei State City was considerable, they would not give up.

Escape!

Desperately escape!

Unknowingly, they had already stepped out of Yan Mountain, passing several towns.

Jiang Baishan felt parched, his body drenched in blood, but he dared not stop to treat his injuries. He could only swallow a few pills without a thorough chew, as the wounds healed and broke open under the pill’s effect, his body’s essence blood slowly evaporating.

Lin Ruhua’s condition was not much better; she was already pregnant, and the constant battles and fleeing had drained much of her energy. Now, running this far, her face was ashen.

The two of them were almost at the end of their rope.

With a stumble, Lin Ruhua nearly fell to the ground, Jiang Baishan hurried to support her. ”Baishan, it seems we cannot escape,” Lin Ruhua gave a bitter smile, their state was extremely poor—although they appeared to have escaped far, it wasn’t too difficult for a Celestial Human Realm expert to catch up.

A malicious ghost was pursuing them, and even if unwilling to admit it, they knew Qin Yun could not hold back Ghost Mask forever.

Jiang Baishan shook his head firmly, carrying her: ”No, we’re almost at Lei State City, we must not give up! We can’t let down Ba’s goodwill!”

He swallowed another Blood Burning Pill, recklessly fighting as well.

But just as he took a step.

He stood frozen on the spot.

In the distant sky, a figure he was incredibly familiar with appeared, almost making him think he was mistaken—but in the blink of an eye, that young Taoist descended from the void right before him.

Ning Qi looked at the wretched forms of Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua, his heart filled with anger, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he made it in time.
