Chapter 76: Escape!
***
Seeing that both had already determined it was him, Ye Fan’s face instantly darkened, secretly pondering where exactly he had exposed himself.
If he knew that he had actually been caught by his usual careless posture, he would probably immediately pull out his black robe to wrap himself up tightly on the spot.
However, at this point, dwelling on these matters was meaningless.
He hadn’t originally planned to act personally, it was all because that overly confident Elder Feng had instigated him.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes:
“Since you refuse to accept my toast and insist on drinking the punishment wine, then I won’t be polite anymore!”
Having said that, he was about to make his move.
Not good!
Su Wanqing’s heart tightened.
Ye Fan’s strength among Foundation Establishment disciples was second only to hers. Now that her spiritual energy was depleted, defeating him at full strength was almost impossible.
As for Lin Muyu… she might be able to help a bit against those mindless corpses.
But facing the cunning Ye Fan, she would probably have trouble even protecting herself.
Su Wanqing quickly glanced at Lin Muyu beside her, whose small face was tense, then steeled her heart and suddenly bit her fingertip, shouting in a low voice:
“Blood Burning!”
“No way… do you have to be this ruthless?”
Ye Fan was immediately stunned by her action.
Who starts by going all out from the beginning?
This was a desperate move that would damage one’s foundation!
At worst, just surrender, is it really worth it?
Facing Su Wanqing whose aura surged dramatically in her Blood Burning state, Ye Fan didn’t dare to clash head-on.
He could only temporarily withdraw his offensive, planning to avoid her attack and wait until her Blood Burning state ended.
“Senior Sister…”
Lin Muyu was also shocked by Su Wanqing. She had never imagined that this usually cold senior sister could be so decisive.
But what Ye Fan never expected was that after Su Wanqing activated Blood Burning, she didn’t charge at him.
Instead, she turned around, scooped up Lin Muyu beside her, and fled toward the distance!
“Not good, she actually wants to run!”
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, feeling both angry and anxious.
He had thought the opponent was going to fight desperately, but she actually wanted to flee, so spineless!
However, Su Wanqing’s mind was very clear.
During Blood Burning, she couldn’t kill Ye Fan, and if she let Ye Fan drag out the time, they would both be finished.
Besides, what was more important, backbone or life?
Moreover, why would a young woman like her care about backbone?
Ye Fan immediately gathered his energy to chase, but after taking just a few steps, an ice frost dragon suddenly attacked from ahead, charging straight at his face.
“?”
Ye Fan hurriedly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack, and couldn’t help but curse.
“No martial virtue!”
Taking advantage of this brief delay, Su Wanqing endured the severe pain brought by Blood Burning.
Blood from the corner of her mouth stained her clothing red, but she still held Lin Muyu tightly and rushed forward with all her might.
Lin Muyu was protected in her arms, feeling her senior sister’s rapid heartbeat and slightly trembling arms, her heart full of guilt:
“I’m sorry, Senior Sister. It’s all my fault for wanting to come here that we fell into this trap…”
“Don’t talk, let’s escape first.”
Su Wanqing’s voice carried a trace of weakness but remained terrifyingly calm, without the slightest waver.
Lin Muyu was about to say something more when she saw Su Wanqing’s body suddenly sway and collapse heavily to the ground, and she was also thrown out.
“Senior Sister! What’s wrong?”
Lin Muyu ignored the pain on her own body and scrambled over to Su Wanqing’s side.
She saw Su Wanqing’s small face was pale as paper, her eyes tightly closed, she had obviously fainted from exhaustion.
“Run quickly, Master! I can sense that Ye Fan is already catching up!”
Xiaotao’s anxious voice rang in her mind.
Lin Muyu didn’t dare delay. Gritting her teeth, she carried Su Wanqing on her back and ran forward with all her strength.
She felt she had never run this fast in her life, her two short legs spinning like fire wheels.
But the weight of her senior sister on her back and the constantly approaching sound of wind breaking behind her made her heartbeat faster and faster.
Unfortunately, fate always seemed to love playing jokes.
After running for not long, the scene before her made Lin Muyu’s heart instantly sink to the bottom.
Ahead was actually a huge cliff!
If Su Wanqing were conscious, with her cultivation level, she might easily fly across, but she was just a Qi Refining cultivator who couldn’t use artifact flying at all…
“What to do, what to do?”
Lin Muyu looked at the bottomless cliff, very anxious!
If Ye Fan caught up, not only would Su Wanqing suffer, but she would probably repeat her previous life’s fate.
Being sold to the Hehuan Sect, a fate worse than death.
She looked down at the unconscious Su Wanqing on her back, then looked back at the figure faintly visible in the distance, and suddenly a crazy thought surged in her heart:
Jump down with Senior Sister! Dying together with the female lead was better than falling into Ye Fan’s hands!
“Master, I have a way!”
Just as Lin Muyu was about to make her decision, Xiaotao hurriedly spoke up and told Lin Muyu her idea.
After hearing this, Lin Muyu’s eyes lit up. Without thinking, she grabbed the bead floating beside her and threw it forcefully toward the bottom of the cliff.
The moment the bead left her hand, it burst with gentle white light, instantly taking both of them inside, then fell toward the bottomless cliff bottom like a meteor.
With Xiaotao’s strength as a spirit weapon, no matter how high they fell from, there wouldn’t be the slightest damage.
…
“There’s a cliff ahead. They could run anywhere, but they chose to run here, truly seeking their own death!”
Ye Fan was about to catch up to the cliff edge. Seeing the path ahead, he couldn’t help but sneer.
With Su Wanqing’s injuries, she absolutely couldn’t cross this cliff.
Even if she forced herself to use a flying sword, the spiritual energy consumption would only make her already depleted body worse.
Seeing himself getting closer and closer to the cliff, Ye Fan’s excitement grew stronger.
This plan was simply killing two birds with one stone, not only could he capture a beauty like Su Wanqing.
He could also sell that bitch Lin Muyu.
His hatred for Lin Muyu had been planted since the first time he was rejected.
But when he rushed to the cliff edge, he found it completely empty, with only a few faint footprints proving that someone had been there.
“Could she really have crossed over?”
The unease in Ye Fan’s heart surfaced again. He hurriedly summoned his flying sword and crossed the cliff to check.
But on the opposite cliff edge, there wasn’t even half a footprint.
An unbelievable thought suddenly entered Ye Fan’s mind:
“Could they have jumped down? With their current condition, jumping off this cliff, there’s absolutely no possibility of survival!”
Ye Fan gritted his teeth somewhat:
“They’d rather jump off a cliff than fall into my hands?”
He immediately controlled his flying sword and searched down along the cliff wall, but after searching for a long time, he didn’t see a single person.
“Strange, did these two people just disappear into thin air?”
Ye Fan’s voice carried a trace of suspicion.
Elder Feng’s voice suddenly rang in his mind:
“They’re most likely hiding.”
But Ye Fan became increasingly irritable:
“If I let them escape, I’m finished!”
The Qinglan Sect strictly forbade disciples from killing each other. Light punishment was having one’s cultivation abolished and being expelled from the sect, heavy punishment was immediate execution.
Even if he escaped by chance, he would be hunted by the sect to the ends of the earth, with absolutely no possibility of escape.
No one would doubt the Qinglan Sect’s strength. Anyway, in history, none of the disciples who ran away lived longer than a year.
