Chapter 199: Escape

“Be careful!”Su Jingzhen and Xuening were still in a state of shock when they suddenly felt their bodies tilt.

All the restrictive arrays set up around the room were destroyed.

The energy explosion that followed produced a powerful shockwave.

Even Qi-refining Stage or Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would likely suffer severe injuries or even death from this chaotic energy impact.

Su Jingzhen reacted quickly, embracing Xuening tightly.

As a Body Cultivation expert who had reached the eighth layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo, his resistance to physical harm was far superior to Xuening’s.

However, even he felt a wave of intense pain as the chaotic energy impact struck him.

In almost an instant, he was falling along with the collapsing walls, still holding Xuening.

During this fall, Su Jingzhen’s eyes were flooded with lines of golden text.

Xuening, although extraordinary, had grown up in the poor districts of Tianning City and had never seen much of the world. Her heart was racing with anxiety.

Su Jingzhen’s tight embrace, however, gave her an infinite sense of security.

Her emotions naturally fluctuated.

As they continued to fall, Su Jingzhen flipped Xuening over and used his back to cushion the impact.

“Boom!”

After the heavy landing, Su Jingzhen let out a muffled grunt.

It was quite painful.

Fortunately, as a Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo eighth-layer Body Cultivation expert, he only suffered light injuries despite the multiple lacerations.

“Who’s behind this?!”

“I’ll curse your ancestors, which grandson is attacking us like this?!”

“Ahhh!”

“……”

In almost an instant, the Spirit Sound Inn had turned into a pile of rubble.

Curses and screams echoed from all directions amidst the rising dust.

Many unfortunate souls, struck by the energy impact when the inn’s arrays were destroyed, were buried under the rubble.

Some even died instantly.

“Master Su, are you okay?”

Seeing the trace of blood at the corner of Su Jingzhen’s mouth, Xuening’s expression became increasingly anxious.

Her pure face was now covered with dust, making her look like a helpless little kitten.

“I’m fine, let’s go!” Su Jingzhen exclaimed, stretching out his hand to support himself on the ground.

He then stood up, holding Xuening’s waist, from the gap in the rubble.

With a sudden burst of energy from his Labor Palace acupoint, he punched the air, clearing away the debris that had been covering them.

Without the protection of the restrictive arrays, the walls were now just ordinary structures.

The building remnants that had been covering them were easily cleared away by his punch.

He sensed that all of this was because of them, and he didn’t dare to linger.

If you put yourself in their shoes, after creating such a big commotion, they would naturally go all out to find their targets in the chaos.

It was reasonable to kill a few people in the process.

Moreover, if this was indeed an attack on them, Su Jingzhen could easily guess that it was the Feng family’s doing.

With the Feng family’s power, sending a few Golden Core cultivators would be a trivial matter.

Su Jingzhen’s heart was also extremely tense, his sense of crisis reaching a boiling point.

He held Xuening and quickly rushed out of the rubble, but the surrounding dust was too thick, and they had no direction to follow.

“Xuening, are you hurt?” Su Jingzhen asked after they escaped the rubble, still feeling a sense of crisis.

Because, up until now, he had not seen Feng Qingya and Mu Lao.

He naturally knew that Mu Lao would prioritize protecting Feng Qingya.

So Feng Qingya’s safety was likely not a major concern, and the most urgent issue was Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s own safety.

Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s question, Xuening nodded: “I’m not hurt.”

“Good, let’s fly with the flying sword. We’ll temporarily leave this place with this sword!”

As he spoke, Su Jingzhen directly pulled out a long sword that looked quite decent in quality.

This was a spoil of war from the time he had killed the Wandering Butcher.

Xuening’s own green ruler was too conspicuous.

The long sword was a common weapon, and flying with it wouldn’t attract too much attention.

After all, there were already over a hundred cultivators flying with their swords in the air around the Spirit Sound Inn ruins.

Moreover, there were countless people rushing towards them from the nearby streets.

The Spirit Sound Inn was a well-known place, and an incident like this would naturally cause a big commotion.

Whether they were cultivators or ordinary people, everyone had a curious mentality.

Although flying with swords was prohibited in Yunmeng City, in this emergency situation, short-distance flights were not strictly enforced, and no one would pursue the matter.

Xuening was not as calm as Su Jingzhen, so she could only follow whatever he said.

She took the long sword, and with a flick of her wrist, the sword stabilized in mid-air.

The two of them stood on it, but this sword was not Xuening’s, and she couldn’t control it perfectly.

Su Jingzhen could only hold her tightly, and they stood on the sword, which was quite cramped.

Xuening’s hand seals moved again, and the sword shook before transforming into a stream of light, flying low and fast, escaping the chaotic area.

However, just as they were leaving the chaotic area, a black-clothed figure suddenly stood up on a rooftop near the Spirit Sound Inn.

“Good instincts, but still a bit lacking in experience…”

…

Earlier, Su Jingzhen had been too focused on escaping and had overlooked a crucial issue.

That was, they were not familiar with Yunmeng City at all.

Even though they had left the Spirit Sound Inn area, they didn’t know where to go.

Yunmeng City was too big and too prosperous, and even at this late hour, there were countless cultivators active everywhere.

After leaving the Spirit Sound Inn area, they dared not fly anymore.

They flashed into a slightly darker alleyway.

There was an old tree in the alley, and Su Jingzhen directly led Xuening to jump up and hide in the branches.

He had never faced such a situation before, and he felt a bit panicked.

“There shouldn’t be anyone paying attention to us. Let’s just hide here for now, and we’ll go back after dawn.” Seaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The surroundings were relatively quiet, with occasional cultivators strolling by.

Everything seemed normal, and in Su Jingzhen’s view, the focus of Yunmeng City should be on the Spirit Sound Inn area.

He and Xuening both let out a sigh of relief, feeling that they had escaped danger.

“I wonder how Qingya is doing, but with Mu Lao guarding her, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

After calming down, Xuening subconsciously worried about Feng Qingya’s situation.

Today’s sudden change still had her in a state of mental confusion and bewilderment.

And just as Xuening’s words had fallen, the street they were on instantly fell into absolute silence.

Moreover, in that instant, the starlight and moonlight above seemed to be unable to shine down on this place.

It had fallen into absolute darkness.
