Chapter 154: No, you're messing with me again!!! (6k)_3
Exiled to this remote place and encountering this guy, and now even capturing Sima Demoness' Nascent Soul.
Among the five great talents, two had incidents on his side. At this moment, he even doubted if he was an undercover agent for the Three Sects Alliance.
Once the Palace Master knew, he would surely kill him.
Zhou Qing never expected Blood Bone to come so quickly, even if it was just a projection of his Dharma Aspect.
Then, a sneer appeared on his pale face, and he slowly raised his middle finger to him.
"Blood Bone Old Ghost, I have something to do today. I'll let your head remain on your neck for now. When I have time, I'll come and take it!" After saying that, he gave Lu Yaoyao a glance.
Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao dared not delay, quickly taking Zhou Qing with her and flying away swiftly.
Blood Bone roared in fury: "Brat, how dare you!"
About the time of a burning incense later, Blood Bone arrived abruptly. Seeing the mess across the mountains, his face became exceptionally grim.
He then directly slashed his palm, dripping drops of Essence Blood onto the ground, chanting incantations. Next, his Nascent Soul emerged from the middle of his brow.
Opening his mouth, he spat out, and the ground's dust started to churn violently, transforming into a black dog made entirely of smoke and dust.
The black dog's nose twitched, and it immediately chased after them.
The Nascent Soul returned, and Blood Bone's main body slowly opened his eyes, filled with a murderous aura.
"Let's see where you run!"
A Ghost Head Saber appeared in his hand. With cold killing intent in his blood-red eyes, Blood Bone pursued at the fastest speed, sending messages to familiar associates, requesting assistance if any were nearby.
Meanwhile, Lu Yaoyao, using all her might to control the flying sword, escaped, frequently glancing back, looking tense.
From what Zhou said, Elder Blood Bone's cultivation was even more terrifying. If they were caught, they would not survive.
Looking at the weakened Zhou Qing, Lu Yaoyao anxiously took out her Identity Token, sending messages to Senior Brother Li Daoxuan and others.
If there were any familiar people around, they might receive some support.
For now, all Zhou Qing could do was try to recover. His meridians had long run out of Spiritual Power. Forcing Sima Demoness to such a state today was already his limit.
To recover somewhat, he would need at least one hour.
An hour meant very little for Lu Yaoyao at Golden Core Realm Perfection to escape the rapid pursuit of someone at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.
But there was no other choice now but to let the girl run for her life.
Unfortunately, the distance from this place to Beimang Mine was too far. Otherwise, they could have tried a smokescreen technique.
"Don't worry. At least we have a hostage!" Zhou Qing said weakly.
Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing's bloody clothing, feeling distressed. In order to draw out Sima Demoness, he had already gotten so many additional wounds and was now utterly exhausted.
"Rest assured, I will definitely get you back safely!" Lu Yaoyao promised with determination and then sped up the flying sword once more.
But what Zhou Qing hadn't anticipated was that not even an hour was needed. In less than the time of burning an incense stick, the killing intent behind them surged overwhelmingly, almost tangible, rushing towards them like a blade against their backs.
Next, a strange black dog appeared, followed by Blood Bone's sinister grin.
Zhou Qing's face immediately darkened, and Lu Yaoyao also looked terrified, quickly taking out five golden talismans.
"These were given to me by my master to save my life. The middle one can unleash a Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm attack, while the other four are just for show, to paralyze the enemy and catch them off guard with the real one!" Lu Yaoyao hurriedly explained.
Zhou Qing was shocked, not expecting the girl to truly have such items. He thought she was just bluffing.
In the cage, upon hearing this, Sima Demoness trembled with anger. If not for the fake talisman trick, she wouldn't have been in such a passive position.
Not only did she suffer an attack from the Golden Crow Divine Skills, but Zhou Qing also took the opportunity to injure her with the Broken Sword, completely disrupting her fighting rhythm, leading to her current plight.
"Despicable scoundrel, treacherous scoundrel!" Sima Demoness roared in fury.
Zhou Qing took the talismans from Lu Yaoyao and nodded to her.
The Elder Blood Bone quickly closed the distance between them, smiling with yellowed teeth, which was disgusting to behold.
"To put Sima Demoness at a disadvantage, you are quite something, but this is where it ends. Surrender obediently!"
Blood Bone finished and swung his Ghost Head Saber at Zhou Qing. A nearly thousand-zhang long blood-red blade light swept across the sky.
Zhou Qing quickly grabbed Sima Demoness' Nascent Soul and enlarged it, using it as a shield in front of him.
"Sima Demoness, let's go together!" Zhou Qing laughed loudly, with a resolute expression, seemingly ready to perish together with Sima Demoness.
Blood Bone's expression changed, immediately altering the blade's trajectory, narrowly missing them and slicing towards the ground.
A loud "boom" echoed, splitting a mountain below in half, sending boulders tumbling down as dust and debris flew everywhere.
Lu Yaoyao was almost knocked off the flying sword by the force of the passing blade.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, stabilizing herself in time, rushing forward and accelerating again, fleeing with all her might.
