Chapter 53 A Race Against Time!
"You know perfectly well that Ling Yuan is no match for me, and that Qin Mu and that girl are both elites of the younger generation of the Spirit Hall."
"You dare leave like this?"
Tang Xiao sneered and looked at Hu Liena on the other side.
"If I'm not mistaken, your task is to protect this girl, right?"
Ghost Douluo did not respond to Tang Xiao's words; the current situation was already extremely difficult for them.
"Ling Yuan, I can only barely hold off Tang Xiao for now. Later, find an opportunity to take Qin Mu and..."
Before Ghost Douluo could finish speaking, Ling Yuan immediately threw Qin Mu and Hu Liena behind her, instantly transforming into a fiery spirit kite and flying directly into the distance.
Ling Yuan's movements were so sudden that even Ghost Douluo didn't react immediately.
After cursing Ling Yuan, Ghost Douluo immediately rushed towards the Fifth Elder. In the instant he attacked the Fifth Elder, Ling Yuan seized the opportunity to break through.
Upon seeing this, Tang Xiao immediately followed, but his path was blocked by many illusory black shadows halfway there.
The sixth soul skill on Ghost Douluo lit up, and the demons and monsters were activated!
In an instant, many illusory black shadows appeared in mid-air, all rushing towards Tang Xiao and detonating the moment they got close to him!
The moment the explosion occurred, the sky was shrouded in black mist.
Before Tang Xiao could react, he immediately felt a pang of fear and raised his hand to protect the Clear Sky Hammer in front of him.
Just as Tang Xiao had placed the Clear Sky Hammer in front of him, two phantom black claws kept grabbing at him.
At this moment, Tang Xiao had just gone through a great battle with Ling Yuan, and he was quite exhausted.
Tang Xiao did not dare to underestimate the attack launched by Ghost Douluo.
This whole series of events took only a few seconds from start to finish.
But in those few seconds, Ling Yuan's figure was no longer visible.
The black mist dissipated, and the Fifth Elder saw Ghost Douluo and Tang Xiao locked in fierce combat.
"Fifth Elder, go after her quickly! Ling Yuan's strength is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be; you can definitely handle her!"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder, who was about to come up to help, immediately set off. Ghost Douluo had no way to deal with this and could only let the Fifth Elder leave.
With a single blow, Ghost Douluo's figure was shattered, and lightning once again gathered on Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer.
"I've run out of patience to waste with you."
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
Faced with Tang Xiao's all-out attack, Ghost Douluo could only smile helplessly, praying in his heart that Ling Yuan and the others could escape safely.
On the other side, taking advantage of the time bought by Ghost Douluo, Ling Yuan also fled north without stopping.
Ling Yuan had intended to take the opportunity to move towards the Spirit Hall, but she immediately noticed that the Fifth Elder's figure was getting closer behind her.
To ensure Qin Mu and Hu Liena's safety, Ling Yuan had no choice but to continue fleeing northwards.
However, since Ling Yuan was already exhausted, she could only watch helplessly as the distance between her and the Fifth Elder continued to shrink.
Having just suffered a severe injury to her thigh, she could no longer use her Explosive Step technique. Only by using her Spirit True Body could she carry the two of them away.
The consumption of the Spirit True Body is also quite large for Ling Yuan, but if she doesn't use the Spirit True Body, she will probably be caught up in no time.
"Little Qin Mu, will we receive reinforcements?"
Ling Yuan had no choice but to place her hopes on the Spirit Hall and other elders for support, but Qin Mu sighed.
"There probably aren't any left."
"The reason Elder Ghost was able to intervene was because he was responsible for protecting Sister Nana."
"It was because Sister Nana brought Elder Ghost here that we had that sliver of hope."
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Hu Liena realized that she had been followed by a ghost all along.
She still thought her actions were flawless.
"So, what you just shouted wasn't just a show of bravado?"
"That's right, because I know that with Sister Nana's abilities, there's no way she could escape the pursuit of a Title Douluo."
Realizing the critical situation, Ling Yuan flapped her wings desperately, but the distance between her and the Fifth Elder remained unchanged.
"Little Qin Mu, I really don't have any soul power left this time."
"You take Nana with you later, and I'll stall for time for you."
"Cultivate diligently, and remember to avenge your sister in the future!"
Ling Yuan chuckled softly, but her smile betrayed a deep bitterness.
"Don't worry, Nana, we still have a chance!"
Qin Mu reached out and stroked the back of the Fiery Spirit Kite, his gaze fixed on the distance ahead.
Although it was still dark, there was a faint white light at the end of the line of sight.
As Ling Yuan drew closer to the white light, she finally saw that it was a vast, boundless snowfield!
"This is...the far north?"
As they drew closer to the snowfield, the wind blowing through them began to make Qin Mu and Hu Liena feel the chill.
"Little Qin Mu, do we really want to go in?"
"The far north is a more dangerous forbidden land for humans than the Star Dou Forest!"
"The soul beasts inside are not only more dangerous, but it is also more difficult for humans to survive than in the Star Dou Forest!"
Seeing that the Fifth Elder was only a few dozen meters away from her, Ling Yuan couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Sister Ling Yuan, do you believe me?"
"Uh?" Ling Yuan was slightly taken aback, then immediately nodded.
"Of course I believe you! How could you say such a thing?"
"Alright, since you trust me, let's just charge straight into the snowfield in a bit!"
As Qin Mu spoke, he glanced at the distance between himself and the Fifth Elder behind him.
"We'll split into two groups soon, and when he's about to catch up, I'll jump into the snowfield."
"His target is only me, so there's a high chance he'll continue chasing me, which will give you a chance to escape."
"no!"
The two women rejected Qin Mu's suggestion in unison.
"Little Qin Mu, this isn't the Star Dou Forest, this is the far north! It's almost impossible for a Soul Master of your level to survive here!"
"That's right, Qin Mu, how can we let you take such a big risk?"
Seeing the two women's firm stance, Hu Liena gripped his arm even tighter. Qin Mu felt a warmth in his heart and gently pried Hu Liena's hand away.
"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you trusted me?"
"Why would I let you in if I wasn't absolutely sure?"
Qin Mu smiled at the two women, then joked, "Don't forget, I'm a genius!"
How many impossibilities have I created?
Qin Mu never considered himself a genius, but at this moment, in order to persuade the two women, he deliberately pretended to be a master strategist.
Hearing Qin Mu's words, the two women couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes, since they met Qin Mu, he has done many things that they would never have dared to even think about.
Could it be that he is really confident?
As they hesitated, a powerful soul force suddenly began to gather behind them.
Turning their heads, they saw the Fifth Elder holding the Clear Sky Hammer, already gathering some kind of powerful soul skill.
"Sister Ling Yuan, Sister Nana, please take care!"
Qin Mu bid a final farewell to the two women, then jumped off the back of the Fiery Spirit Kite.
