Chapter 45: Should I Escape?

The defensive formation, in an instant, completely collapsed, dissipating into a shower of stars.

Those hiding within the formation started to panic.

“We’re doomed! What do we do?”

“Can we even get out of here alive?”

“Even Lou Qi is no match, let alone us?”

As soon as the negative voices spread, the sense of defeat and despair amplified.

Luo Qingyang helped Lou Qi up, “Are you alright?”

He wiped the blood from his lips expressionlessly, his fingertips once again gathering spiritual energy, forcing himself to rebuild a defensive formation.

Luo Qingyang gritted his teeth and held up the new defensive formation with him.

But you could defend for a while, not forever.

The sword cultivators fell one after another, with no room for resistance. With the blood mist spreading and bats flying wildly, they would soon be infected with the blood.

“What do we do?” Feng Yao asked tremblingly.

After Fang Yizhou finished healing Li Yang, he threw the Xuan sword into her arms, turned around to look at the blood mist filling the sky, and killing intent welled up.

In the center of the blood mist, where the blood clan people stood, the crimson was particularly thick, giving people a sense of fear that they would be swallowed up if they got close.

But there was still a ray of light left on the battlefield.

The holy light transformed into sword energy, slashing down, dispersing the bats with a single strike, creating a narrow but clean path.

“Hmm?” The blood clan young master also noticed this person.

The moment the young man slashed down with his sword energy, he smelled a scent that he hated.

The blood mist was slightly dispersed, and someone recognized the light.

“It’s Lin Ya from the Yufeng Sect.”

“Late Golden Core stage? He’s also a late Golden Core stage?”

In everyone’s impression, there were only two late Golden Core stage sword cultivators, Zhuang Churan and Qibuli. Even the senior sister of the Yueying Sect, Yu Xiao, was only at the mid Golden Core stage.

But now, Lin Ya, who had always been forgotten and ignored, was fully unleashed on the battlefield.

Even his fellow disciples found it amazing.

Bai Yu doubted his own life, “When did he become a late stage?”

The young man, holding an unknown spirit sword, was surprisingly reliable for once, his sword energy slashing through the darkness.

Behind Lin Ya, Qibuli and Zhuang Churan drew their swords simultaneously.

The sword cultivators on the battlefield hadn’t given up.

Li Yang adjusted slightly, curiously poked Ning Shiyan, and whispered, “Fourth Senior Brother, what’s your attribute?”

Why couldn’t she sense it? It was so mysterious.

Ning Shiyan shook his head too, “He never said, and he never showed it.”

Unlike Zhuang Churan’s fire, Bai Yu’s wind, Lin Ya’s spiritual root was more mysterious. Probably only he knew his attribute.

Li Yang blinked and stood up.

“What are you going to do?”

She held the Xuan sword, “Do I need to ask? Go out and gain experience.”

Fighting could also lead to death, but not fighting meant pure death.

She still wanted to die in a cool way.

Fang Yizhou suddenly grabbed the girl’s sleeve, then let go, hesitating for a moment.

He took out a blood-stained teleportation talisman.

“In the formation deep in the water cave, I found a blood clan corpse. He must have been dead for a long time…”

Li Yang, “Get to the point.”

Fang Yizhou said, “This teleportation talisman is left by the blood clan. It should be able to teleport us out, but… it can only teleport five people at a time.”

This was introduced by the senior who had given him the legacy. The senior was a talented person from the righteous path who had fallen. His spiritual energy was pure and he cultivated the way of saving the world. His words should not be wrong.

Fang Yizhou said, “Li Yang, you saved us. Without you, we wouldn’t have found the legacy. As a reward, I can take you out.”

Li Yang didn’t reply.

Instead, Feng Yao’s pupils widened, “Senior brother, can we really get out?”

Feng Yao believed Fang Yizhou wouldn’t leave her behind.

In fact, Fang Yizhou did think that way.

Besides Song Heng, there were four people left in the DanWang Sect, plus Li Yang, making five in total.

Although doing this wasn’t ideal, given the current situation, escaping was probably the only right answer.

There were others in the defensive formation besides them.

A shameless cultivator came up, “Please, take me with you!”

“Everyone is trying their best, why should you DanWang Sect people get away with it?”

“Hand over the teleportation talisman.”

Some even drew their swords at the Dan cultivators, trying to snatch the only hope.

Feng Yao, who had been timid on the battlefield, quickly blocked the sword light, “Everyone, calm down. Once we get out, we’ll definitely ask for help and rescue you all.”

“That’s easy for you to say, you’re not the one left behind, nor are you the one who will die.”

In a pinch, everyone’s will to survive was strong.

Fang Yizhou clenched the talisman, took a deep breath, and ignoring everyone’s expressions, extended the invitation to Li Yang again.

“Li Yang, do you want to leave with us?”

Lou Qi’s voice came before Li Yang’s.

He said, “Let’s go.”

Lou Qi turned his back to everyone, still supporting the spiritual formation, and whispered, “Tell Master for me, I’m not coming back.”

Li Yang felt like crying.

But not from emotion, but because she was about to cry from how stupid these people were.

Under everyone’s anxious gaze, she looked at Fang Yizhou and asked a fatal question, “Ordinary teleportation talismans don’t work in the Rebirth Secret Realm. Even if the blood clan’s teleportation talisman works, where would it send us?”

The blood clan was more skilled in talisman formations. From secretly altering the secret realm’s teleportation array to isolating the Dan cultivators with isolation arrays, it all pointed to this problem.

Was their teleportation talisman really for simple teleportation?

Li Yang smiled at Fang Yizhou, “Maybe once we leave here, we’ll be sent to the blood clan’s lair.”

Fang Yizhou’s eyelashes fluttered, as if considering the possibility of her words.

Li Yang reached out to him, “Fang Yizhou, if you trust me, give me the teleportation talisman. I have a plan.”

Feng Yao instantly stopped her without thinking, “No, Senior brother…”

But before she finished speaking, she watched with wide eyes as Fang Yizhou handed the hot teleportation talisman to Li Yang.

Perhaps even Fang Yizhou didn’t know why he trusted Li Yang.

It was probably because the light in the girl’s eyes was too bright and intense.

He looked away, only asking after handing over the talisman, “What do you want to do?”

Li Yang hid the talisman, mysteriously raising an eyebrow, “Give the teleportation talisman to the person who should be teleported the most.”

The girl stepped onto the Xuan sword, quickly grabbed an Ice Clear Pill that Meng Zhang had just refined and popped it in her mouth, grabbed Lou Qi and rushed out, “Let’s go, let’s go.”

Lou Qi was forced to leave, a little dazed.

Only Luo Qingyang remained in the defensive formation. The man bit his lip and shouted, “Hurry up, I can’t hold on much longer.”

Feng Yao’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Senior brother, why did you give her the teleportation talisman?”

“Can’t you see? She wants to escape.”

Fang Yizhou, “She won’t.”

She risked her life to save him and An Yi, she risked her life to get the ice crystal fruit, protected Meng Zhang, and even with blood all over her body, she carried four people while flying.  She never thought of abandoning anyone, even if they were strangers.

Fang Yizhou inexplicably believed that Li Yang wouldn’t just run away.

Feng Yao gritted her teeth, “She had a conflict with our DanWang Sect, Senior brother, have you forgotten?”

Fang Yizhou glanced at her strangely.

She continued as if she hadn’t noticed, “Li Yang can freely pass through the blood clan’s formation. You also said that the blood clan’s formation is only ineffective against blood clan members. She must be an undercover agent arranged by the blood clan. What she did before was just acting, deceiving you.”
