Chapter 230 : Lu Xueqi Battles the Nether Spring Sect Disciples
Chapter 230: Lu Xueqi Battles the Nether Spring Sect Disciples
Under such circumstances, the four of them became extremely anxious.
Just as the four Nether Spring Sect disciples were preparing to make a desperate last stand, the Ghost King suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly turned to look into the distance.
After briefly sensing that aura, the Ghost King's expression changed drastically as he muttered,
“Why is she here?”
Without the slightest hesitation, the Ghost King's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of blood-red light as he fled directly.
This left the four Nether Spring Sect disciples below staring in astonishment.
Among them, Eighth Junior Brother, who was likewise at the Nascent Soul Realm, could not help but ask,
“Seventh Senior Brother, what's going on? Why does the Ghost King seem to have fled just like that?”
After hearing Eighth Junior Brother's question, Seventh Senior Brother also revealed a puzzled expression.
He then carefully sensed the surroundings, spreading out his Spiritual Power toward the distance.
A moment later, his expression changed slightly as he said,
“A new powerhouse has arrived over there.”
Upon hearing Seventh Senior Brother's words, the expressions of the other three changed drastically.
“Seventh Senior Brother, run!”
Seventh Senior Brother immediately nodded.
Forming hand seals, he instantly swept up the other three, transforming into a streak of black light as they fled into the distance.
At this moment, they had absolutely no intention of fighting the person pursuing them from behind.
Judging from the Ghost King's reaction just now, even he feared the person chasing them to such an extent that he did not even have the courage to fight.
That alone was enough to prove that the newcomer was unimaginably powerful, perhaps even stronger than the Ghost King.
How could they dare hesitate in the slightest?
Moreover, they knew full well everything they had done since arriving on this continent.
Whoever was chasing them from behind would certainly not let them off easily.
Thus, without the slightest hesitation, they fled immediately.
Just as Lu Xueqi sensed the battle fluctuations from the Ghost King and the opposing side ahead, she unexpectedly discovered that both the Ghost King and the other party had fled without hesitation.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi was momentarily stunned before murmuring,
“Since when did the Ghost King become so cowardly?”
After clashing with Lu Xueqi twice before, the Ghost King had already accepted reality—that he was no match for her.
As such, he had absolutely no intention of fighting Lu Xueqi again.
As for the four Nether Spring Sect disciples, after seeing how wary the Ghost King was of the approaching person, they had even less desire to confront Lu Xueqi.
After sensing the two auras fleeing in different directions, Lu Xueqi briefly examined them before immediately pursuing the one radiating dark, sinister qi.
The Ghost King could be dealt with at any time in the future.
Moreover, although the Ghost King was ruthless, he would not carry out the complete extermination of the living beings on this continent.
The Nether Spring Sect disciples, however, were different.
Wherever they passed, rivers of blood flowed as they slaughtered living beings without restraint.
If they were allowed to continue their massacre, every living being on this continent would likely be wiped out.
Therefore, she intended to kill all four Nether Spring Sect disciples first.
Without further hesitation, Lu Xueqi flashed forward, chasing after the streak of black light fleeing ahead.
Meanwhile, the four Nether Spring Sect disciples, anxiously fleeing atop their Ten Thousand Souls Banner, sensed the aura rapidly approaching from behind, causing their expressions to change drastically.
Seventh Senior Brother could not help but say coldly,
“What is wrong with this person? Why isn't she chasing the stronger Ghost King? Why is she pursuing us instead?”
Thinking of this, their expressions became even uglier.
Even so, they dared not stop in the slightest.
They could only pour even more magical power into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, increasing its flight speed.
After spotting the four Nether Spring Sect disciples, Lu Xueqi no longer hesitated.
Her figure shifted.
In an instant, an enormous spacetime tunnel suddenly appeared before her.
Stepping into it with a single stride, Lu Xueqi's figure vanished from the spot like a phantom.
When she reappeared, she was already standing directly in front of the four fleeing Nether Spring Sect disciples.
The four Nether Spring Sect disciples had been constantly monitoring Lu Xueqi's aura behind them.
However, they suddenly discovered that the aura of the powerful expert behind them had completely disappeared, greatly shocking all four.
They immediately spread out their Spiritual Power to search the surroundings.
Only then did they discover that a woman had suddenly appeared directly in front of them.
After appearing, the woman merely gazed at the four of them coldly.
The four Nether Spring Sect disciples were greatly alarmed and immediately came to a halt, confronting Lu Xueqi from afar.
Looking at the four, Lu Xueqi said,
“You four are disciples of the Nether Spring Sect? You are the ones who slaughtered the countless living beings of this continent?”
The four Nether Spring Sect disciples looked at the incomparably beautiful Lu Xueqi standing before them, their expressions changing slightly.
Among them, Seventh Senior Brother, the strongest, looked at Lu Xueqi with an extremely solemn expression.
He sensed an incomparably terrifying aura from her.
It was an exceedingly peculiar aura.
Although, according to his perception, Lu Xueqi's cultivation might even be weaker than the Ghost King's,
the sense of danger she gave him far surpassed that of the Ghost King.
Seeing this, Seventh Senior Brother asked coldly,
“Who are you? Why are you blocking our path? And how did you learn about us?”
Lu Xueqi smiled coldly.
“So you really are disciples of the Nether Spring Sect. You know Li Yong, don't you? He's the one I killed.”
Hearing this, Seventh Senior Brother's expression changed drastically as he looked at Lu Xueqi in shock.
“Could you be the woman from the Qingyun Sect mentioned in the rumors? The one who once defeated the Ghost King?”
Lu Xueqi smiled coldly.
“So you've heard of me. Since that's the case, then all of you shall remain here today.”
The four Nether Spring Sect disciples snorted coldly.
“We admit that your strength is extraordinary, but if you think you can keep us here, you're dreaming.”
Lu Xueqi replied,
“Is that so?”
She said nothing more.
With a flick of her finger, streams of golden lightning immediately flashed continuously at her fingertip.
Dark clouds rapidly gathered across the sky as countless bolts of lightning descended from above, converging upon her fingertip before forming an enormous golden sphere of lightning in front of her.
The expressions of the four Nether Spring Sect disciples changed drastically upon seeing this terrifying golden lightning sphere.
They sensed an overwhelming threat emanating from it.
Moreover, as disciples of the Nether Spring Sect who specialized in cultivating the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, such evil treasures were naturally extremely fearful of the Dao of Lightning.
Under these circumstances, the four exchanged glances before gritting their teeth.
“We'll risk it all.”
