Su Xue collapsed in Li Ming's arms. Despite the numerous wounds on her body, her iconic face still radiated a dazzling beauty, like a lotus emerging from the water. Li Ming couldn't help but stare, filled with pity and awe.
"She is truly beautiful..." Li Ming murmured softly, his gaze lingering on Su Xue's face.
At that moment, Mo Shiu's voice broke through his reverie, tinged with impatience. "Stop wasting time!"
Li Ming snapped back to reality, realizing it was not the time to be lost in admiration. He quickly lifted Su Xue and turned to shout at Master Han and Chen Yao ahead, "We've rescued Su Xue!"
Upon hearing this, Master Han's face lit up with joy. He swiftly formed hand seals and shouted, "Dragon Fire Breath!" A massive flame erupted from his palms, surging forward like an enraged dragon towards Qin Tian.
Chen Yao was not to be outdone; he quickly threw a talisman from his pocket and chanted, "North Wind Talisman!" The talisman ignited in mid-air and unleashed a powerful gust of wind that surged forward. This fierce wind combined with Master Han's flames, amplifying their power to create an unstoppable fire dragon that charged toward Qin Tian.
Seeing the formidable assault coming his way, Qin Tian's expression changed. He rapidly formed hand seals in an attempt to defend against the fierce flames. However, propelled by the strong wind, the flames were astonishingly powerful, shattering Qin Tian's defenses in an instant and engulfing him completely.
Li Ming held Su Xue tightly as he retreated to safety. He understood that this moment was crucial for determining victory or defeat; there could be no retreat now. Su Xue leaned weakly against him, her eyes reflecting gratitude and warmth.
"Li Ming, thank you..." Su Xue whispered, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Don't thank me, Lord Su Xue. We must unite if we are to defeat this powerful enemy," Li Ming replied firmly, his fists clenched and determination shining in his eyes. He knew the battle was far from over; the real challenge had only just begun.
Master Han and Chen Yao's combined attack was devastating; flames danced wildly in the air, painting the entire battlefield a fiery red. Qin Tian struggled within the inferno, his roars echoing through the skies, but the flames' might kept him trapped.
Under the immense pressure of the flames, Qin Tian found himself unable to escape for a moment. He roared in fury as dark thunder crashed around him like a violent storm, trying to disperse the flames. Yet, the powerful assault unleashed by Master Han and Chen Yao was not so easily broken. The intertwining fire and wind formed an indestructible barrier that held Qin Tian firmly within.
"Damn it!" Qin Tian gritted his teeth as he continuously formed hand seals. Black Spiritual Energy swirled around him as he attempted to break through the fiery barrier. Dark thunder struck down repeatedly, creating fissures in the surrounding flames, but those gaps were quickly filled by more fire.
Finally, with all his strength gathered, Qin Tian swung his arms fiercely. A powerful bolt of black thunder descended from above, splitting the flame barrier in two. He charged out of the inferno in rage, his gaze piercing as he searched for Master Han, Chen Yao, and Li Ming.
However, just as he managed to disperse the flames, he saw Master Han, Chen Yao, and Li Ming fleeing the conference hall at a rapid pace. Qin Tian let out a furious roar, his voice filled with endless rage and murderous intent: "After them!"
Immediately, a pack of Demon Wolfhounds and soldiers surged forward in pursuit of the three. These Wolfhounds had keen senses and incredible speed, while the soldiers rushed forward like a tidal wave. Qin Tian himself was not to be outdone; with a burst of Spiritual Energy, he shot forward like a bolt of black lightning, hot on their heels.
"You can't escape!" Qin Tian shouted, his eyes flashing with black lightning. He resembled a demonic deity, exuding a destructive aura as he chased after the three figures.
Master Han, Chen Yao, and Li Ming ran desperately, their hearts filled with anxiety and pressure. They knew that the pursuers behind them were formidable; one misstep could lead to capture. They had to give it their all to shake off this chase.
"Hurry up, don't stop!" Master Han shouted, his voice laced with tension and determination.
Li Ming held Su Xue tightly in his arms, feeling the power within him surging. He knew he had to keep going; no matter how difficult it became, he could not afford to stop. Chen Yao continuously threw talismans beside him, creating one obstacle after another in an attempt to slow down their pursuers.
"We must shake them off!" Li Ming silently prayed in his heart, his eyes fixed ahead, filled with resolve and confidence. He understood that this escape would determine their fate; they could not be caught at any cost.
Qin Tian's figure relentlessly pursued from behind, black lightning flickering around him as he closed in with a devastating presence. The fate of the three would be irrevocably altered in this life-and-death escape.
The three raced through the dark corridor as the sounds of Demon Soldiers and Wolfhounds grew closer. The tremors beneath their feet quickened Li Ming's heartbeat. Holding the weak Su Xue in his arms, he felt his strength waning, but the instinct to survive pushed him onward.
"Hurry! We can't stop!" Master Han urged loudly, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes. He knew that Qin Tian and the pursuing soldiers were powerful; if they were caught, the consequences would be dire.
Just as they rounded a corner, a bolt of black lightning struck behind them, the explosive shockwave causing them to stumble. Qin Tian's furious voice echoed behind: "You can't escape!"
Li Ming felt an overwhelming pressure as cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Gritting his teeth, he quickened his pace with only one thought in mind: they must not be caught; they had to escape!
At that moment, Master Han suddenly stopped and turned back. With a fierce wave of his hands, he shouted: "Fire Prison!" The ground erupted violently as countless tongues of fire burst forth like hellfire, dancing wildly like enraged dragons and instantly engulfing the pursuing Demon Soldiers and Wolfhounds. The flames raged through the air, incinerating everything in their path and reducing all nearby enemies to ashes.
"Go!" Master Han shouted as he turned and continued running.
Li Ming and Chen Yao followed closely behind, but the pursuers continued to surge forward. Chen Yao quickly pulled a talisman from his pocket, his fingers moving swiftly to form seals as he shouted, "Teleportation Talisman!" The talisman ignited in the air, and a shimmering blue portal opened before the entrance.
"Li Ming! Hurry!" Chen Yao called out, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes.
With the last ounce of strength he could muster, Li Ming clutched Su Xue and charged toward the portal. His legs felt as heavy as lead, but he knew this was their only chance for survival. Gritting his teeth, Li Ming leaped into the portal with all his might.
Just as Li Ming vanished, Master Han and Chen Yao quickly followed him into the portal. The portal closed rapidly behind them, the blue light flickering once before disappearing as if it had never existed.
Qin Tian watched this scene unfold, roaring in anger as black lightning danced around him. "Damn it! They've escaped!" His eyes burned with endless fury and murderous intent. The fact that Li Ming and the others had managed to escape right under his nose was a severe blow to his pride.
On the other side of the portal, Li Ming, Master Han, and Chen Yao landed safely in a tranquil forest. Li Ming collapsed to the ground, still holding Su Xue, feeling utterly drained of energy yet filled with an overwhelming sense of relief and joy.
"We... did it..." Li Ming gasped, his voice barely above a whisper, a glimmer of satisfaction shining in his eyes.
Master Han and Chen Yao also felt immense fatigue, but they knew that at this moment they had finally shaken off their pursuers and gained a brief respite.
"Li Ming, well done," Master Han said, patting Li Ming on the shoulder with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Chen Yao looked at Li Ming and Su Xue with gratitude. "We are safe for now, but this is just the beginning. We must recover our strength quickly and prepare for what comes next."
Li Ming nodded, determination filling his heart. Though this escape had been fraught with hardship and danger, they had finally succeeded in evading Qin Tian's pursuit.
