Chapter 23 Run
About half an incense stick later.
As time went on.
The top-tier Blazing Flame Array of the mine was gradually becoming unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the Lava Demon and his group.
It was even beaten so badly that it was covered in cracks and its brilliance had faded.
"Hoshikawa, Hoshihaku... given the current situation, I'm afraid we really won't be able to wait for the family's support."
"And you are all, after all, cultivators of the middle generation of the family... with long lifespans and great help to the family. You should not lose your lives here."
"I will try to destroy the trapping methods around us and delay the rest of the demonic cultivators. You should seize the opportunity to run away as much as possible."
Zhao Yuanming, the manager of the mine's general affairs office, gave instructions to Zhao Yuanming and the others with a resolute expression.
He was concerned about the future of his family.
In addition, his lifespan was already short, and he didn't have many years left to live.
Therefore, he was willing to risk his own life to give Zhao Xingchuan and the others a chance to survive.
"Lord Yuanming, thank you for this matter."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingchuan and the other Zhao family stewards felt a lump in their throats and felt even more grateful to Zhao Yuanming.
"It's alright."
Zhao Yuanming waved his hand, but his brows furrowed even more deeply.
call--
Immediately afterwards, he took a top-grade first-tier Spirit Ascension Pill.
Those pills can enhance a cultivator's strength by harnessing their lifespan, essence, blood, and other fundamental resources.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanming temporarily condensed a few drops of Foundation Establishment spiritual power, only a hair's breadth away from Foundation Establishment.
But his breathing became increasingly weak.
It's likely that in less than ten breaths, his entire life force will be burned away, and he will die peacefully.
"This waiting time is far too short. If only I could be ten years younger."
Zhao Yuanming sighed softly.
Immediately afterwards, with a death wish, he channeled all his spiritual power into the top-grade first-tier magic weapons in his hands, and then turned to attack the Lava Demon and other demonic cultivators.
During this time, he also used a special first-tier top-grade magic weapon called the "Black Rock Burst Bead".
This is the Zhao family's signature disposable magic artifact, which is quite valuable. One of them is comparable to two or three other magic artifacts of the same level, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
Even Zhao Yuanming was the same.
The one he had was given to him by the Zhao family to guard the mine.
Furthermore, its power is extraordinary, capable of directly releasing all the essence of the magical artifact, unleashing an extremely terrifying explosive power.
Even a top-grade first-tier bursting bead is comparable to 30% of the power of a first-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In addition, the appearance of that exploding bead was rather sudden.
Zhao Yuanming suddenly took Shengling Pill again and fought desperately.
The Lava Demon and other demonic cultivators were caught off guard.
"Exploding Beads? Spirit Enhancement Pills?"
"Why use it now of all times? Why not earlier or later?"
"Damn it, that Zhao woman is truly cunning."
The Lava Demon's expression changed, and he immediately stopped. He then activated a top-grade first-tier magic shield, which transformed into a thick defensive light screen that enveloped himself and the other demon cultivators around him.
Boom!
As a series of booming sounds rang out.
The Lava Demon's defensive magic shield was shattered, and he was even blasted back several dozen feet by the aftershock of the explosion, suffering considerable injuries.
Several demonic cultivators at the early and mid-stages of Qi Refining were also blasted to death.
The trapping light barrier that the Lava Demon had previously set up around the area was also blasted open with many gaps.
"Hoshikawa, Hoshishiro... the barrier trapping the enemy outside has been broken, run!"
Zhao Yuanming greeted Zhao Xingchuan, Ye Xuan'an, and the other miners.
"The rest of you fellow miners should not miss this opportunity either. It is my Zhao family that has implicated you all. I apologize to you all here. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely atone for my sins."
Immediately afterwards, he charged towards the Lava Demon and other demonic cultivators once again.
"Break apart; this will increase your chances of escape."
Seeing this, Zhao Xingchuan and the others sighed helplessly and quickly separated and fled.
During this time, Zhao Xingchuan also called upon his subordinates, including the leader of the Blood Fiend Gang and Pei Su and other elite cultivators of the Blood Fiend Gang, to help protect him.
And they are willing to offer substantial benefits.
If this matter is successful, they may even help to forge some high-quality magical artifacts, or provide a profound cultivation technique, and so on.
Furthermore, the cost is high.
But he knew all too well how deep the Lava Demon’s hatred was for Zhao clan cultivators like himself.
He feared being targeted by the Lava Demon or his demonic cultivators.
If they had more helpers, their escape would be much safer.
Furthermore, the Zhao family is currently in a precarious situation. If the Zhao family collapses, it will be quite difficult for him to make his way in the Dao alone.
But it would be different if the Blood Fiend Gang leader and others were to help.
In addition, the promised benefits were very tempting to the Blood Fiend Gang leader and independent cultivators like Pei Su.
In addition, most of Pei Su and the others were cultivators who were not afraid of death.
Therefore, they immediately agreed to the matter.
"Then I will trouble you all."
Zhao Xingchuan couldn't help but feel delighted.
Then, he took out a first-grade high-quality flying boat magic artifact that he had refined in his early years.
The flying boat was extremely large, measuring three zhang in length and half a zhang in width, enough to carry more than a dozen cultivators at the same time.
And it's extremely fast.
Therefore, he used this opportunity to quickly fly into the sky with Pei Su and the others.
During this time, Pei Su had intended to invite Ye Xuan'an to join them, since Ye Xuan'an was quite capable and fully qualified to participate in the matter of protecting the Dharma, and the rewards for this matter were also generous.
If Ye Xuan'an can obtain it, the benefits will be numerous.
However, Ye Xuan'an politely declined the offer, since even though the benefits were great, one had to be alive to receive them.
Moreover, Ye Xuan'an has mastered the art of weapon crafting and formations, so he has no shortage of high-quality magical artifacts.
As for advanced martial arts techniques, he doesn't have them yet, but he can always find an opportunity to buy them at a high price in the future.
Therefore, such things alone could not sway him.
It's safer to blend in with the miners and escape in the chaos than to follow them.
"I never expected Pei Su to dare take on such a dangerous escort job!"
"However, I hope they can turn the situation around."
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan'an couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he looked at Zhao Yuanming, the steward who had shielded the demon with his own body, and couldn't help but feel more respect for him.
"Although the Zhao family has implicated us this time, Zhao Yuanming's management skills are indeed excellent."
"Besides, I should probably take advantage of the chaos and make my escape."
Immediately afterwards, he took out a top-tier innate flying artifact, the "White Jade Paper Crane".
This was something he had crafted some time ago. It was extremely fast, even faster than a low-grade first-tier flying magic weapon, and could travel nearly four or five thousand miles a day, which was comparable to the travel speed of someone in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Moreover, it consumes little energy, and even a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator like Ye Xuan'an can continuously activate it for several hours.
Therefore, it can be considered a valuable tool for traveling.
