.
Right at this time, Lucia ran inside the dense forest with breakneck speed.
She skillfully dashed in zigzag patterns to avoid crashing into any trees in the forest without slowing down her speed at all.
"Those damn annoying humans are really persistent!" Xi’er, who rode on Lucia’s back, gritted her teeth in anger and resentment.
Several powerful auras actually chased right behind them from the sky!
The strength of one among them even reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, which means the Region Head of the Merchant Alliance finally made his move to catch Xi’er’s group after the huge mess she caused with her Ghost Army before!
Xi’er and her Ghost Army successfully beat several mine supervisors, who had the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage and massacred hundreds of their mine guards and guard captains, but the beaten mine supervisors, who managed to run away by teleporting back to Jade Tower, reported what had happened to the Region Head.
In the end, the Region Head decided to take this matter into his own hands and led those several mine supervisors to chase after Xi’er’s group together!
Xi’er did not think much if she was only facing several or even more than a dozen Nascent Soul Stage experts, but the Spirit Transformation Realm Grandmaster was a completely different story.
To some extent, the human race’s Spirit Transformation Realm Grandmaster might be even more troublesome than the mutated beast with the strength of Spirit Transformation Realm!
Was [Long Neck Demonic Crocodile] very powerful?
Yes!
But it still ended up almost being defeated by two human race’s Spirit Transformation Realm Grandmasters, Eunuch San and Feng Liushan, who should be weaker than it in the end.
Of course, [Long Neck Demonic Crocodile] was killed by Tang Li Xue in the end, but even if Tang Li Xue was not there, it would still have ended up being killed by Feng Liushan.
That was the reason why Xi’er did not dare to fight against the Merchant Alliance’s Region Head and chose to run away from him instead.
Because even though she used an undead body and could not be killed, her chance of winning against the Merchant Alliance’s Region Head should be close to zero.
Not to mention that Yaya’s current condition was very worrying.
Xi’er could sense that Yaya’s condition had actually worsened after their bumpy escape, and her serious injuries were not treated until now.
Unfortunately, Xi’er really did not have any other choice right now.
There was really nothing she could do to treat Yaya’s injuries in this dire situation!
BANG—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—!
The Region Head and several mine supervisors began to lose patience playing hide and seek with Xi’er, so they decided to just bombard the entire dense forest instead!
They could find Xi’er with their Divine Sense, but burning down or destroying the entire forest surely made it even easier for them to find Xi’er’s group!
The entire dense forest was burning in flames, but Xi’er did not dare to let Lucia fly out of the burning forest!
"I must learn [Art of Concealment] from Sister Xue after this is over." Xi’er muttered in a frustrated tone.
"KWEEK—!" Lucia informed Xi’er that they would come out of the forest if they kept heading this way.
"No, we have to find another way. They will definitely catch us faster if we come out of the forest." Xi’er explained to Lucia.
BOOOM—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—!
Region Head and several mine supervisors bombarded the forest again and destroyed more than two-thirds of the dense forest in just a few breaths!
Without any other choice, Lucia chose to run swiftly into a cave instead!
"What a futile resistance! I want to see how far you can run away! Take down that cave too!" The region head arrogantly said and instructed several mine supervisors.
BANG—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—!
The Region Head and several mine supervisors attacked the cave with their spells.
The Region Head even unleashed a giant palm made from compressed spiritual energy and the power of his Profound Laws!
The giant palm that covered the sky slammed down forcefully and flattened the entire cave in an instant!
Luckily, Lucia and Xi’er had already run deeper into the deeper part of the cave, so they were saved from the giant palm’s attack!
The interior of the deeper part of the cave was very complicated, with many intersections.
They immediately realized that this was not a naturally made cave, but it was actually an abandoned mine!
But they did not have time to worry about it since the danger had not passed yet!
"Damn stinky rats! They really know how to run away! But no matter where you run away, you will not be able to hide!" The region head cursed in annoyance.
RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! BOOOOM—!
The region head and several mine supervisors began to bombard the abandoned underground mine this time!
Lucia knew that she could not stop, or they would be finished, so she kept running as fast as she could!
The abandoned underground mine was collapsing under the region head and several mine supervisors’ attacks!
Xi’er looked back and saw the collapsing mine seemed to be chasing them from behind.
If they were not fast enough, they might be buried under the collapsed mine!
Right at this critical moment, Lucia hastily activated her [Slow Motion]!
Her surroundings suddenly slowed down a lot while her overall speed soared manyfold!
SWOOOSH—!
Lucia increased her running speed, and her figure disappeared, leaving behind only her afterimage!
With Lucia’s current breakneck speed, it did not take long for them to reach the end of the abandoned mine!
Lucia quickly put on her [Silver Dragon Skin Pearl]’s armor to greatly increase her strength and defense, then she used her [Golden Light Spell] to create a huge golden drill right in front of her!
WEEEENG—!
The huge golden drill spun and dug a hole for Lucia and Xi’er to pass!
Lucia’s [Golden Light Spell] and Tang Li Xue’s [Energy Manipulation] were actually quite similar.
Both of them could create anything with their spiritual energy, but Tang Li Xue’s [Energy Manipulation] was much more flexible than Lucia’s [Golden Light Spell] since it could be applied to many other functions, such as combining it with [Essence Devouring Technique] and so on.
Running while digging the tunnel did not slow down Lucia’s speed at all!
It would be hard for the Region Head and several mine supervisors to catch up with Lucia in her current state!
Unfortunately, her [Slow Motion] buff had a limited duration, so once the duration of her [Slow Motion] buff was over, their situation would return to the way it was before.
"We are running out of time. At this rate, we will all be caught by those despicable humans. so..." Xi’er muttered in a solemn tone while putting the unconscious Yaya gently on Lucia’s back.
Lucia quickly covered the unconscious Yaya with her [Golden Light Spell] and [Silver Dragon Skin Pearl]’s armor, so she would not fall.
Then Xi’er suddenly jumped down from Lucia’s back!
Lucia immediately slowed down her speed, but Xi’er shouted at her from behind instead!
"Don’t stop!"
"Don’t look back!"
"Go! Run away as far as you can from here!"
"I will do my best to buy you some time."
"You do not need to worry about me. I cannot die anyway." Xi’er said reassuringly to Lucia.
Lucia hesitated for a moment before she glanced at the unconscious Yaya on her back and decided to keep running away at full speed!
Xi’er smiled reassuringly while staring at Lucia’s back before she took out her pitch-black [Sword of Disaster].
BAAANG—!
Xi’er swung her pitch-black [Sword of Disaster], and her black fog-like Death Energy turned into sharp energy blades, then broke the ceiling of the collapsed mine!
Xi’er flew out of the collapsed mine and charged fearlessly toward the Region Head and several mine supervisors!
"Didn’t you guys want to catch and kill me?! Then come and try it if you can!" Xi’er spoke coldly as she transformed her pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] into a huge Axe Form!
"How dare you be so insolent in front of Master Yu!" Several mine supervisors yelled angrily at Xi’er.
"You damn rat! You finally come out of your hiding hole!" The Region Head sneered mockingly at Xi’er.
BAAANG—!
Xi’er infused her black fog-like Death Energy along with the Profound Law of Earth before she slashed her [Sword of Disaster] in the huge Axe Form horizontally!
Several mine supervisors did not dare to face Xi’er’s attack head-on, but the Region Head was different!
CLANG—!
The Region Head took out his spirit weapon, a crimson halberd, and easily blocked Xi’er’s axe slash!
Then the Region Head kicked Xi’er’s stomach swiftly!
Xi’er already tried to block the Region Head’s kick with her arm, but the strength difference between them was too huge!
Xi’er was still thrown back by the Region Head’s kick until she slammed down violently and planted deep into the ground!
The Region Head named Master Yu licked his lips in satisfaction.
Master Yu might look like a wise elder, but deep down, Master Yu was actually a pervert who enjoyed beating up a beautiful woman like Xi’er the most.
"Leave this one to me. You all can go and chase the other one." Master Yu ordered several mine supervisors.
It was clear that he did not want the mine supervisors to interfere with his fun.
"Understood! You can rest assured and leave the other one to us, Master Yu!" The mine supervisors replied in a flattering manner.
Several mine supervisors quickly left and chased after Lucia while Master Yu stayed behind to play around with Xi’er instead.
