Chapter 34: Escape - Part 3
’I’m back~’
Xuefeng called out happily as he suddenly appeared next to Tianshi, flying together once again. The wall of the city was right in front of them while their pursuers were nowhere to be seen.
’Is everything alright?’ Tianshi questioned with a smile even though there could only be one answer.
’Yeah, I trash-talked a little before slipping away using my Ti Manipulation,’ Xuefeng replied while showing an okay sign. ’We should get out before they catch up. I can handle a few but there are too many of them. I will end up using too much Fate Qi. Ming is already complaining about it.’
Tianshi nodded firmly. All they needed to do was break through the human barrier by the wall and then create a hole in the Safe Zone to actually escape.
It shouldn’t be that hard.
As they committed to flying, they didn’t need to use the gate to leave the city. All they had to do is fly over the wall. Too bad, the walls were already heavily guarded with a proper defense arranged by the Almighty Spirit.
"Stop right there! You are under arrest!"
Multiple City Guards flew up from the wall to face them while the rest sat inside a set of giant cannons, ready to fire at any mont. They were spread on all lengths of the wall with no way of bypassing them.
Xuefeng felt as if they appeared in so dieval tower defense ga with all the turrets aid at them.
’Stay behind !’ Xuefeng called out, ready to force their way out.
The Air Stone on his Elental Bracelet lit up as Air Qi gushed out from his body, setting up his Air Domain in a blink. It followed them as they flew forward, pushing above the wall under the cover of white clouds.
The cannons finally fired.
Ratatatatatatata!
Thousands of bullets shot in their direction, yet Xuefeng and Ling quickly redirected their trajectory, making them all miss the target. They didn’t plan to fight back. Escape was their main goal.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud explosions reverberated as giant tal balls, the size of a baby, broke through his Air Domain and exploded, sending tal shards everywhere. Although the shards bounced away from their shields, his domain was quickly in crumbles, his Air Qi disrupted by the explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three more tal grenades exploded inside, with one heading straight at Tianshi. Xuefeng didn’t take any risks, rushing to defend her when Tianshi’s hands moved, creating an Earth Qi wall that blocked it.
’Don’t worry about ! Push forward!’ Tianshi scolded, making him feel overly happy.
The stronger his wives were, the less worried he was.
’We crossed the wall! Charge through the Safe Zone Barrier and we are out!’ Ming inford to which Xuefeng grinned.
He already had a perfect art for that.
Sky Drill! The first move from the seven Swords Arts of the Legendary Sword Saint!
’Tianshi! Go down!’ Xuefeng called out as he suddenly dove towards the crowds while canceling his Air Domain for a better view.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hundreds of bullets passed above them, missing the target.
"Cease fire!" the City Guards shouted. They couldn’t shoot in the direction of the waiting citizens which was exactly what Xuefeng wanted.
They flew right above the ground and under everyone’s gaze, Xuefeng began charging at the sky blue barrier in front of them. His Dragon Edge shone brightly from all the power gathered and its tip aid at their goal.
’Stay behind!’ Xuefeng shouted in warning but Tianshi already distanced herself from him, sending Air Qi bullets at the chasing City Guards to slow them down. She rembered very well the first ti he tested this move, destroying almost the whole Training Grounds.
Boost! Boost! Boost!
All of Xuefeng’s elents fused into the sword, dancing around its edge. The Safe Zone Barrier turned red as if using all of its powers to defend against the incoming attack.
"Is he trying to break through the barrier?! Madman!" The crowd cried out in shock, quickly distancing themselves from the scene.
Xuefeng didn’t even hear them, focused on his job.
"BREAK!" Xuefeng yelled on top of his lungs, smashing against the Safe Zone Barrier like a teor.
Bang!
The explosion was like a nuke, covering his body and anyone late in a hundred ters radius got either blinded or sent flying.
Crack!
A giant crack appeared at the barrier, looking like a painting of giant lightning, spread into hundred ters from the explosion. City Guards quickly paled, seeing such a crack for the first ti ever but then grinned.
The crack started healing itself back without breaking.
"Huh... It didn’t break..." Xuefeng was clearly disappointed, but Ming quickly assured him. ’Don’t worry. They are using a Seventh Refining Spirit Qi to support the Safe Zone barrier. You already caused a crack without even refining your Qi. Imagine how strong we will be once we improve!’
"Xuefeng!"
He didn’t have ti to reply to her as Tianshi also called out worriedly, landing in front of him. She hugged into his chest at the first bounce off the ground with her eyes full of hope and trust in him.
"We will get out of this," Xuefeng promised as he embraced her with one hand.
Tianshi only smiled, nodding. "I know we will."
One thing Xuefeng learned over the years was to always have a plan B.
’Prepare the Judgnt Vine. I will stall them,’ Xuefeng ordered, his gaze staring at the incoming cultivators.
’Already working on it!’
He could already feel his reserves being depleted as Ming pumped Qi into the ground, making him more relaxed.
It was ti to unleash his known art.
The Art of Bullshitting!
"Surrender now! Don’t move or we will attack!"
Hundreds of City Guards surrounded them both from the sky and the ground, their weapons aid at them but Xuefeng stood still with Tianshi in his arms. She wanted to stand by his side but he didn’t let her. With his arms busy, he showed he didn’t plan to attack them, creating a fake sense of security.
Just perfect for his act.
"As I citizen of Heaven Realm, I want to make use of my rights and talk to your Captain. Anyone else who cos close to will die," Xuefeng announced confidently before shrugging, "Well, if you are stronger than the Safe Zone Barrier, then you have nothing to worry about."
