“For crying out loud, a darn corpse would land on me of all things now? How unlucky can I be? Man…” complained Yang Tian, lying on the ground after finally getting some air in. He went to move the corpse, but his hand was on a soft spot. Being that it was odd, he decided to give it a squeeze. “What’s this? Wait a second!”
Yang Tian sat up and shifted his gaze down from where his hand was to see a fiery pair of eyes.
“Wh-wh-what are you doing here…?” Yang Tian jumped to his feet.
“You done ogling me?” Yuan Xia fumed.
“Uh, I apologise. That was an accident… an accident.” Yang Tian hastily waved his hands whilst wearing an innocent expression. As a Half-Step Almighty elite cultivator, Yuan Xia could splatter his brains if he angered her. “I really didn’t mean to do it. I swear I just instinctively gr-“
“St-stop bringing it up!”
“O-oh, I’ll stop…” Yang Tian only made it worse with every word he said.
Yang Xiao yelled, “Hurry up and get out of here. Lots of adepts are coming our way.”
“Damn it!” cursed Yang Tian.
Yang Tian spotted people approaching from the void in the distance. They, people he didn’t want to be in a tussle with, were attracted by the fight before. When Yang Tian spotted the energy in the distance, something perturbed him.
Yang Tian: Eh? She’s here, so why hasn’t the Blood Vessel returned…? Is something I’m unaware of happening?
Whatever the case was, Yang Tian took off running after a moment of lingering. If any of Ancient Sacred Grounds’ members were among the group, his days were probably numbered. Gu Ba was insignificant compared to them. However, after just two steps, he halted in his tracks. He looked back to see Yuan Xia just staying there. He touched his nose. Puzzled, he said, “Hurry up, and run. There are people coming, and they’re after your Blood Vessel if you didn’t notice already.”
Yuan Xia turned her head to look at Yang Tian through the corner of her eye. She gritted her teeth and looked back.
Yang Tian’s conscience kept him. “Ah, damn it. If you don’t run and Yin Yang Cultivation Sect catches you, given your appearance, the consequences won’t be what you hope for.”
Yuan Xia looked embarrassed and cold simultaneously. “Mind your own business!”
Since Yang Tian appeared so dense, Yang Xiao rhetorically asked, “Silly kid, the lass’ cultivation is totally depleted, and she’s suffered a serious injury. How do you expect her to run?”
“Looking good to the bitter end only begets suffering…” Yang Tian tried to grab Yuan Xia’s arm.
Yuan Xia: “Wh-what are you doing?”
Yang Tian reacted with a straight face and flashed of his pearly whites. He grabbed her without bothering with her retorts this time. “What am I doing? You can choose to be their ‘cauldron’ if you prefer! I sure wouldn’t care.”
Yuan Xia struggled when Yang Tian wrapped his strong arms around her waist. “Let go… Let go…”
“Put a sock in it. I wouldn’t be helping you if you weren’t pretty. Scream again, and I’ll sell you off!”
“You… You…” Yuan Xia was frightened at first; however, once Yang Tian began running, she slowly stopped resisting.
The people in the distance flamboyantly closed in. The Battle Emperors could be seen moving from the battlefield.
Yang Tian was tired after running for a while as he didn’t replenish his qi and blood beforehand, not to mention he was carrying Yuan Xia, slowing him down. “Uncle Xiao, give me a hand. I am running out of energy.”
“Hehe, how am I supposed to help when it’s supposed to be the hero who saves the beauty? Hurry up, and stop dilly dallying. You never know; she might offer you herself if you run until you cough blood out.”
“If she does offer herself, I will run into a wall.”
Yuan Xia was depleted, yes. Once she regained her energy, however, she’d squash Yang Tian without breaking a sweat.
Yang Tian popped a pill, then continued running for a while. He noticed a number of Spirit Beasts around. He, therefore, let Xiaobai out. The little fellow grinned and cheerfully ran in front of make way, keeping the Spirit Beasts around at bay with his demonic aura.
Xiaobai piqued the girl’s interest. After all, he was white and furry, also known as the female heart throb. Her expression froze when she sensed his demonic aura. She focused in on him for a while, but she couldn’t comprehend how he had a demonic aura. She scanned Yang Tian’s face. She wasn’t so angry anymore when she saw how profusely he was sweating.
They arrived at a relatively hidden mountain. Yang Tian checked the surroundings and found a cave to hide in.
