Chapter 125: Burning Resources On Every Step
Han Xuhan, Mu Ran, and Xuanyuan Zhou escaped so quickly that it left the crowd of furious cultivators stunned. But the warning they had left behind did its job.
More than a dozen cultivators run off in different directions, all away from the portal in the grove. About half the crowd still remained, confident in their plan to ambush Shen Kai. They hid behind trees, bushes, and covers created by Mystic Arts.
The oncoming undead army would never know what hit them!
But what came through the portal was not an army of stupid, undead monsters! It was an organized group of powerful cultivators who were more than ready to mow down every opponent on their path!
The air crackled with the spells, Mystic Arts destabilizing the balance of qi within the forest. Roars infused with martial might, screams of pain, and noisy explosions rang through the ancient trees.
Han Xuhan was still close enough to the grove to sense the chaos behind him. But he didn’t need to look back to see which side was winning. The cultivators who had managed to break into the Holy Land’s depths were all outstanding fellows.
Moreover, Zhao Weiqing and his team had that tacit understanding among themselves because of being under the possession of a singular entity. Their teamwork would easily defeat the cultivators who hadn’t even seen them coming.
A few seconds later, he heard multiple voices and rushing footsteps following their trail. Not far away ahead, Xuanyuan Zhou turned to look back and urged hurriedly,
"Run faster, Attendant Xuhan! Zhao Weiqing’s side is catching up with you!"
Han Xuhan felt rather depressed. His speed was nowhere near fast enough to match up to Mu Ran or Xuanyuan Zhou. The cultivators chasing behind them were definitely much faster than him as well. His little experience of running from them inside the Holy Land had proved this.
"Seems like there’s only one way this is going to end," Han Xuhan muttered decisively, putting a hand inside his pockets.
