"My lord, we can definitely carve a path out." Selena looked coldly at the enemies in front of her. She was absolutely loyal to Ji Qian, and if it ca to the final step, she would fight to the death to protect Ji Qian, even at the cost of her own life.
"Attack." At Ji Qian’s command, all the rcenaries concentrated their firepower, wildly shooting at the cultivators ahead. As the bullets flew, even cultivators could only dodge with Inner Strength, otherwise being hit would still an severe injuries.
Ji Qian took out the water elent and shot several blue lights, striking the attackers’ limbs. The powerful cold instantly froze them, hindering their movents.
"I have an idea now." Ji Qian suddenly shouted, placing the water elent on the ground, focusing all of her Inner Strength in her palm and transferring it into the water elent. Back in the Atlantis ruins, Ji Qian had already understood the relationship between the water elent and its user. If the attribute of the cultivated Inner Strength matched the elent, its power could be unleashed. The water elent is extrely cold and yin. n are yang, while won are yin. Being female, Ji Qian was naturally suited to wielding the water elent, and the cultivation of the Moon God Temple also belonged to the yin. Therefore, among all present, only Ji Qian could maximize the effect of the water elent.
"Freeze." Ji Qian shouted, and a surge of cold power burst forth from the water elent, forming a terrifying "Cold Wave" that spread outwards from the water elent. Wherever it passed, the vegetation and soil were all frozen, turning into icy blocks.
"Get out of the way." The woman in black sensed the danger and channeled her Inner Strength to form a protective shield around herself, shielding against the cold blast. Looking back, she saw her subordinates caught off guard, with almost all of their legs frozen in the ice, unable to move.
"Fire." Ji Qian shouted, pulling out a pistol and firing at the frozen cultivators. The rcenaries understood Ji Qian’s intent to interrupt their actions. Frozen cultivators were living targets, and everyone lifted their rifles, shooting at their chests and heads.
"Damn, break the ice quickly." The woman in black cursed, losing seven or eight of her subordinates imdiately, with several more injured, all thanks to Ji Qian.
"Quickly, retreat to the east." Ji Qian shouted, although this "Big Move" was spectacular. Without Inner Strength to protect oneself, one would be in grave danger. However, it was also a significant drain on her Inner Strength. After just one use, Ji Qian was already feeling dizzy, almost losing her balance and falling to the ground. She quickly took out several pills, swallowed them to restore her Inner Strength, and then hurriedly retreated to the rear.
"Pursue them." The woman in black commanded, and the cultivators shattered the ice on their bodies, regaining their mobility, and quickly chased after them.
"Run." Ji Qian and Selena covered the rear as the cultivators continued their pursuit. They couldn’t afford to stop.
"Trying to escape, are we?" The woman in black suddenly appeared, blocking Ji Qian’s path. A dagger coated with Thousand Spider Poison stabbed forward. Once poisoned, one couldn’t circulate Inner Strength, or the toxin would attack the heart and kill. Ji Qian dodged to the side, but the woman in black threw a palm strike, hitting Ji Qian’s abdon.
"My lord, are you alright?" Selena rushed to catch Ji Qian. Though the palm strike wasn’t poisoned, hitting her abdon was enough to cause serious injury. Fortunately, Ji Qian had deep Inner Strength cultivation. If it had been soone else, they might not have survived.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Ji Qian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly.
"My lord, I’ll protect you. Go quickly." Selena stood in front of Ji Qian.
"Hmph, you’re courting death."
"Let handle this." Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out in the air, and a shadow flickered, standing in front of the two won.
"Lord Moon God, finally found you." The shadow stopped and turned, speaking lightly. Only then did the two won see who it was.
"Nightmare, finally you’re here." Selena exclaid excitedly. Wielding two black halberds, clad in white, such attire made him stand out among the crowd, a "refreshing stream." As the second of Netherworld Palace’s four generals, Nightmare was the strongest in combat among the four, second only to Ye Shikai in the palace.
"Selena, take Lord Moon God and leave. I’ll handle this. The Hidden Guard will gather by the river ahead. Once there, you’ll be safe." Nightmare said coldly.
"Be careful. Her blade is coated with Thousand Spider Poison. Avoid it at all costs." Ji Qian quickly reminded.
"Don’t worry. She won’t touch ." Nightmare said coldly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from where he stood. In the blink of an eye, he appeared directly in front of the woman in black, thrusting a halberd towards her chest.
Bam.
The woman in black horizontal her dagger in front of her chest. The two weapons clashed, sparking upon contact. Nightmare’s combat strength was formidable. With rich battle experience, his other halberd stabbed to the side. The woman in black quickly stepped back, with the halberd nearly slicing her throat...
"Seeking death." Nightmare stepped forward, kicking the woman in the abdon, sending her flying several ters, effectively avenging Ji Qian.
"You’re not my match. If you don’t want to die, get lost." Nightmare glanced at the people behind him, speaking coldly to the woman. He prioritized the safety of the group. Though he could defeat the woman, resolving the situation entirely would take ti.
"Hmph." The woman in black got up from the ground, a trace of unwillingness and anger flashing in her eyes, not expecting Nightmare to arrive at the last mont and turn the tide.
"Don’t be too happy. You’ve dodged death for now. But it won’t be long before you’re all dood."
"Hmph, you’re quite the braggart." Nightmare snorted coldly, glancing at the nearby trees. He swung his halberd, cutting them down. The trunk fell, crashing towards the woman in black, who quickly dodged sideways. By the ti she reacted, Nightmare was already gone.
By the river.
"Is everyone alright?" When Nightmare arrived at the river, the group had already rested for so ti, with the Hidden Guard bringing water, food, and other supplies, allowing the exhausted group to recover.
"We’re fine, but Soul Destroyer is gravely poisoned by Thousand Spider Poison, hanging by a thread." Ji Qian spoke quickly, visibly anxious. Soul Destroyer was deeply poisoned. If not for Ji Qian and the Demoness previously removing so of the poison, he would already be dead.
"I don’t have any Shennong Pills. We must hurry back to Yanjing." Nightmare checked Soul Destroyer’s poisoning situation, finding it urgent. He couldn’t help but regret not bringing Zi Yun.
