Chapter 901
At this moment, Murong Chan was also panting heavily, her face a livid shade, "I, how could I have known this would happen!"
This was entirely beyond his expectations.
The Thunder Jiao Rope is a Spiritual Treasure; a regular cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, once bound by it for that long, would not be able to stand up.
Yet this Elite Demon, was still full of vitality!
"Murong Chan!"
Wei Ling’Er was already so furious her face had turned livid, "You’ve brought ruin upon us all!"
"In its current state, this Elite Demon is absolutely beyond the three of us to contend with. If not for your earlier confident assurances, we might still have a chance to escape!"
Murong Chan listened to Wei Ling’Er’s scolding while calculating internally.
As the saying goes, it’s better him than me.
He is a genius of the Murong Family and must not die here no matter what!
Thinking this, Murong Chan’s expression hardened, "Miss Wei, now is not the time to speak discouraging words. The three of us are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope!"
"With things as they are, you two should reveal your hidden cards as soon as possible."
"I have a card left unused, but I need you two to buy me some time!"
Saying this, Murong Chan feigned releasing mana, as if concocting some great technique.
Though Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong were very agitated, at this critical moment, they had no choice but to trust him.
The two dared not delay and swiftly revealed their hidden cards.
Wei Ling’Er’s card was a flag, which rapidly expanded to her size when drawn out.
As Wei Ling’Er wielded it, gusts of materialized hurricanes howled out.
Zhang Mingtong too deployed his means, and together, they truly held back the Elite Demon’s advance.
Meanwhile, Qin Qi had already activated the Invisibility Technique, hiding in the shadows observing everything.
Upon seeing Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong each using their means, he helplessly shook his head, "These two are being fooled by Murong Chan!"
Murong Chan is not brewing a card.
He’s figuring out how to escape.
Although Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong revealed all their cards, genuinely delaying the Elite Demon’s steps!
But it was obvious their means were highly consuming of mana, or had the cost of burning their Primordial Energy.
The delay against the Elite Demon was merely an illusion, in truth they couldn’t hold out long.
Everything was as he expected.
Wei Ling’Er had only swung the flag several times before her mana was depleted.
At that moment, the Elite Demon swiped a claw, with waves of Evil Qi like sharp blades, instantly breaking through the pair’s means of defense!
"Bad news!"
Wei Ling’Er’s face changed drastically, "Murong Chan, are you not ready yet!"
However, upon using her Divine Thought to search.
She discovered Murong Chan had no intention of helping them, taking advantage of her and Zhang Mingtong fighting desperately, he ran off!
"Murong Chan!!"
Wei Ling’Er was furious.
Zhang Mingtong saw this too, and was ashen-faced!
Both had exhausted their cards, their mana almost drained, how could they be a match for this Elite Demon.
Seeing the Elite Demon’s claws already close at hand, the two could only retreat in panic, watching the rolling Evil Qi about to invade their bodies.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed!
And then, a residual shadow swiftly swept Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong away.
"Who?"
Wei Ling’Er was both surprised and shocked seeing the one who saved her, "Qin Qi? You, you’re not dead!"
"Shh!" Qin Qi raised a finger.
He then enveloped the two with the Invisibility Technique.
As the golden light dissipated.
The Elite Demon’s blood-red eyes flickered with confusion.
And it sniffed around, trying to locate Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong.
But no matter how it sniffed, it couldn’t catch their scent again.
This made the Elite Demon turn its focus, immediately targeting Murong Chan who hadn’t escaped far.
Instantly, its speed soared to the peak, chasing after Murong Chan.
Though Murong Chan was also very fast, how could he compare to this Elite Demon.
In just a moment, coming back to his senses, the Elite Demon had already intercepted in front of Murong Chan.
Murong Chan was aghast, "How can this be... these two incompetents couldn’t even delay enough for me to reach the city interior!"
He felt no remorse or gratitude, instead blaming Zhang Mingtong and Wei Ling’Er!
However, the Elite Demon wouldn’t grant him any chances!
As its claw howled in, layers of Evil Qi surrounded Murong Chan.
Within moments, after a dozen breaths.
Murong Chan utilized all his means, yet the Elite Demon couldn’t kill him in the short term!
Qin Qi and Wei Ling’Er hid in the dark watching.
Internally, they were quietly impressed.
"You have to give it to Murong Chan, he does have some skills!"
Even though he was the one who expended the least among them.
To hold his own alone against the Elite Demon for several rounds without dying was a remarkable feat.
If it were Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong in his place, they couldn’t manage it!
"If Murong Chan had truly been sincere, working with the three of us. Even if we couldn’t defeat the Elite Demon, we could at least retreat unharmed!" Qin Qi silently thought, "It’s a shame, the outcome now, he brought it on himself!"
Though he traded blows with the Elite Demon for several rounds, but alone!
His techniques were being gradually countered by the Elite Demon.
Finally, as much Evil Qi poured in, Murong Chan’s mana was finally breached!
"This is bad!"
Murong Chan’s face changed drastically, watching the Evil Qi invade his body, thinking it was too late to save himself!
The Evil Qi rampaged within him, corroding his will, extinguishing his spirit, causing him to spew blood.
Murong Chan turned to look at Feng Xiao Xiao on the wall, "City Lord Feng... help me!"
However, Feng Xiao Xiao, a powerful figure in the Core Formation Stage, lord of a city.
Despite Murong Chan’s high status, she would not risk for him!
The Elite Demon’s presence chilling, seized the opportunity, directly tore off one of Murong Chan’s arms!
"My arm, ahhh!" Murong Chan’s eyes widened, fear spreading.
He was entirely drained of the power to fight, collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, waiting for death in despair!
But just then, the Elite Demon sniffed again.
Then, it sharply turned, swirling a massive amount of Evil Qi backward.
The figures of Qin Qi and the others emerged surrounded by this Evil Qi.
"Oh?"
Qin Qi’s face was serious, "It seems too many people were concealed by the Invisibility Technique, ultimately it’s not perfectly airtight!"
Now detected, avoidance was impossible.
It seems a head-on clash with this Elite Demon is inevitable!
