For a moment, Lu Xuan couldn't help but want to cry. I'm only out to chop firewood. Even if I encounter a tenth rank beast, I'll accept it. But why are there so many experts in the Hengduan Mountain Range?
However, Lu Xuan couldn't be bothered to feel sorry for himself. He didn't want to die without knowing the reason. Especially after surviving the disaster in the Land of Inheritance, his mental fortitude had become stronger.
After calming himself down, Lu Xuan said, "I think we need to find a place to hide. Otherwise, they will find us sooner or later. Looking at you now, I don't think you can hold on for long."
"This mountain range is only so big, where can we hide? Once they find us, we won't be able to escape. "The woman said coldly as if she was born with a cold personality.
"I know a very secretive place. There's an illusion array there. If we don't look for it deliberately, we won't be able to find it in a short period of time. You can also take the opportunity to rest." Lu Xuan said again. He knew that if he wanted to live, he could only rely on this woman.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the woman was a little moved. Although she seemed to have only suffered minor injuries, in fact, she had suffered serious internal injuries. However, she had suppressed them. Her strength had declined greatly and she wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
If there was a quiet place for her to rest, it would be great.
"Where is it? Show me the way, I'll bring you there." The woman said decisively.
Lu Xuan was overjoyed. Luckily, this woman wasn't a stubborn person. As long as they could escape to the cave, they wouldn't be in danger for a short period of time.
"I don't know the way after you flew like that. However, the cave is to the east of where you saved me." Lu Xuan said. Apart from the cave, he wasn't familiar with the Hengduan Mountain Range. After being carried by the woman for a while, he was already dizzy.
Hearing this, the woman frowned. Right now, the group of people was probably going to catch up to them. If they went back now, they would probably walk right into a trap.
However, she gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble. Since she couldn't escape anyway, she might as well give it a try. Who knows, there might be a chance of survival.
"I hope you're not lying to me. Otherwise, both of us will be dead for sure," she said coldly. At the same time, she quickly turned around and began to fly in the direction that Lu Xuan mentioned.
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly. Under such circumstances, how would he dare to lie? Instead, he was secretly praying in his heart that he wouldn't bump into the person chasing after him. Otherwise, he would really be in deep trouble. This woman might be able to escape, but he definitely wouldn't be able to fight back.
However, the more he worried, the easier it was for things to happen.
After flying for a while, someone finally stopped Lu Xuan and his companion.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, giving him a fierce look. In his hand was an extraordinary looking chain machete. At this moment, he was steadily hovering in the air, blocking the path of Lu Xuan and his companion.
His gaze first fell on Lu Xuan. He didn't know where this weak and unfamiliar kid came from. However, he didn't think too much about it. A mere Body Refinement 7th Layer kid was nothing to worry about. His gaze returned to the woman. However, the scarred man didn't display the fierce look that Lu Xuan had imagined. Instead, he was somewhat respectful.
"Miss Bing 'er, don't resist pointlessly. If we hurt you, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we return."
"Get out of my way. Otherwise, don't blame me for making a move. In any case, more than one person has died by my hand. You don't dare to kill me, but I dare to kill you!" The woman called Miss Bing 'er said indifferently.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Xuan, who was being carried by her, was a little puzzled. The relationship between the two did not seem to be as simple as he had imagined. Instead, it was extremely complicated.
Hearing the killing intent in the woman's words, the scarred man's face couldn't help but twitch. What she said was indeed the truth. He and his companions did not dare to kill her, but if she did, no one would blame her.
However, he didn't back down. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Forgive me, but I can't comply. Normally, I wouldn't be a match for Miss Bing 'er. But now that you're heavily injured, I only need to block you until the others arrive."
Hearing these words, the woman's cold face instantly darkened. She originally wanted to scare this person away, but she didn't expect that this person would actually grab onto her weakness.
If she was in perfect condition, the scarred man wouldn't be able to stop her. But now that she was injured, she was only holding on to her last breath. She was definitely not a match for the scarred man.
But, no matter what, she wouldn't give up without a fight.
She quickly descended from the air, placing Lu Xuan to the side. She said: "You can escape by yourself. Whether or not you can escape alive will depend on your luck."
As she finished, she ignored Lu Xuan, the sword in her hand trembling. Looking at the scarred man, she said: "Then you can try. Let's see if I kill you, or if you block me."
Seeing the woman release him to face the scarred man alone, Lu Xuan's heart was conflicted. In the past, he had always been the one protecting others, but this time, he was the one being protected.
However, facing such a powerful enemy, Lu Xuan really couldn't help much. After thinking quickly, he finally stood to the side and didn't leave.
Although Lu Xuan didn't know how powerful these unknown people were, if they wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as killing an ant. If he wanted to live, he could only rely on this seemingly cold, but actually kind, woman.
At this moment, after letting go of Lu Xuan, the woman took the initiative to attack. Her body instantly rushed forward, and a white figure directly rushed towards the scarred man.
Her sword danced, and the energy between heaven and earth was instantly mobilized by her. A majestic sword Qi attacked the scarred man without holding back. Within this sword Qi, there was a trace of power that Lu Xuan couldn't understand.
As the majestic sword Qi attacked, the giant trees in the surroundings that were touched by the sword Qi were all broken. It was as if the trees weren't thick enough for one or two people to wrap their arms around, but a fragile piece of tofu.
This scene was imprinted in Lu Xuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide. His eyes were filled with disbelief. The power of one sword was so strong!
A casual sword could have such power, and it was under the condition of injury. Compared to this sword, the Current Severing Sword that he was so proud of was not even worth looking at. It was like a child's play.
This sword could be said to be an eye-opener for him. It wasn't that he hadn't seen a Spirit Refinement Realm expert in a fight. Back in Qingshan Town, Elder Xu, Ninth Uncle, and Elder Sun had all made a move. Although their moves were powerful, it was far from this terrifying level.
"So, a sword move can actually be so powerful. This woman, what kind of strength does she have? She is definitely not just at the early stage of Spirit Refinement Realm, not even the middle stage of Spirit Refinement Realm. Could she be a late stage Spirit Refinement Realm expert? Or even … the Origin Returning Realm expert that Master Chen Mo once mentioned? "Lu Xuan thought in shock.
After seeing this sword, Lu Xuan's original guess about the identity of this group of people was instantly overturned.
He originally saw this woman using a sword and the scarred man using a saber, so it was the Sky Saber Sect chasing after the people from Wind Sword School. But when he saw the scarred man being so respectful towards this woman, it was obviously not the case. Even though the Sky Saber Sect and Wind Sword School weren't enemies, they were still competitors.
Afterwards, he thought that the Wind Sword School and the Sky Saber Sect didn't only have saber and sword wielders. Furthermore, this group of people appearing in the Hengduan Mountain Range would be experts from the Sky Saber Sect or Wind Sword School. But after seeing this sword, this guess was overturned. How could the Sky Saber Sect and Wind Sword School have such experts?
Previously, Chen Mo had said that if Lu Xuan could reach the Origin Realm, then he would be able to defeat everyone in Wind Sword School. It could be seen that the strongest expert in Wind Sword School was at most at the later stage of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
Could it be ….. that these people were from the Mystic Ice Pavilion?!
A shocking conjecture emerged from Lu Xuan's turbulent sea.
From the map that Chen Xiaohan gave him, he saw that Wind Sword School, Sky Saber Sect, and a few other third grade sects were all subordinate sects of the fourth grade sect, Mystic Ice Pavilion. Perhaps only the Mystic Ice Pavilion could have so many experts.
Just as Lu Xuan's thoughts were running wild, the woman and the scarred man were already engaged in battle.
Even though the woman's sword was powerful, the scarred man wasn't weak either. The chain machete in his hand swept across and a similarly powerful saber aura was released. It quickly clashed with the sword aura released by the woman.
When the two powerful attacks collided, there was a loud bang and a strong airflow was created. It shot out in all directions and the trees in the surroundings were suddenly hit by an unexpected disaster. Under the attack of this degree, all the trees were broken one by one.
Lu Xuan was also in the area affected by the airflow. He hurriedly threw out a few talisman scrolls and instantly activated them to block the airflow. Just the aftermath of the attack was already so strong. If he were to face such a strong attack head-on, Lu Xuan could almost imagine his ending.
At this moment, he could only clench his fists tightly and stare at the battle between the two. He hoped that the woman could win. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble. She could easily cut him into two with a single slash.
In his heart, there was a strong desire to become stronger. The feeling of not being able to control his own life and death was too suffocating. In the past, he was the one protecting others, so he didn't feel it. But now, he truly experienced this feeling of helplessness.
The battle between the two of them was quite fast. One move after another, they kept attacking, and the woman became more and more anxious. The battle had caused such a huge commotion, and it was very likely that the other pursuers would be attracted. In fact, they might even be on their way.
