The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1080 - 576: Mortal World (2)

The resulting shockwave scattered the three disciples of the Spiritual Flow Sect. Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei suddenly lost their momentum and were almost immediately surrounded by members of the Luochen Family.

However, Yan Xiaobao continued to accelerate his run. Earlier, he had been replaced by the other two, but now, alone, he burst forth at an astonishing speed, breaking away from the members of the Luochen Family. He put several dozen meters between them in no time, and from the outside, it seemed he was just beginning to speed up.

Even Chen, the only member of the Luochen Clan at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, was stunned and did nothing.

"He's fast," Chen Yue said calmly. "Kill these two first, and then we'll chase him!" He waved his gloves and turned to Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei, with a murderous intent boiling.

Du Lingfei coughed up blood. Her body had been splattered in blood; she was surrounded and certain of her impending death. As she watched Yan Xiaobao escape into the distance, she began to laugh bitterly.

She knew very well Yan Xiaobao was afraid of death, so while she wasn't surprised, she couldn't help but feel pain and despair.

"I hope you can escape, Brother Bai..." she thought. Meanwhile, she performed a spell gesture, unleashing a Flying Sword with a light power. She coughed up more blood, continuing to fight to protect herself.

Hou Yunfei also smiled bitterly, but his eyes were filled with a cold light. He let out a roar; although most of his spiritual energy was depleted, he wasn't ready to give in. Clenching his teeth, he prepared to take down some enemies with him when he passed, if only to buy Yan Xiaobao more time. Yan Xiaobao was pale-faced, his heart pounding wildly. The sense of danger panicked him so much that he felt he might die at any moment, making him tremble uncontrollably.

In his life, he had never been so terrified. Not when he'd left his village to light incense and bravely face lightning, not when Li Qinghou had taken him to Wanshe Valley, not even when he'd seen all those wondrous and powerful creatures during his journeys.

In all those instances, he had been tense but also confident... he wouldn't die!

But today, he had a feeling... he was really going to die!

As he flew by, he suddenly realized he was alone. Then he looked back in shock, seeing seven members of the Luochen Clan encircling Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei hundreds of meters behind.

He also saw Du Lingfei coughing up blood. Anyone in the situation could tell she and Hou Yunfei wouldn't be able to hold on long before being cut down.

As he stood there watching, a tremor ran through Yan Xiaobao. He began to shake harder, his eyes filled with blood. He could feel his soul screaming at him to run as fast as he could.

In fact, Yan Xiaobao was very convinced, considering the speed he could maintain, and given that Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei were stopping enemies from chasing him, there was actually a very good chance... he could escape.

If he did, he could continue living, continue cultivating, chase after what he truly wanted: immortality without death. If he survived, not only wouldn't the sect punish him, they might even reward him.

But... if he just ran away, letting Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei die, he would feel guilty for life. He felt as though his body was being torn in half, one half telling him to run as fast as possible, else he'd die. The other half telling him that if he left his companions to die, he would never find peace in his remaining lifetime!

Gasping for breath, he let out a frustrated growl. Blue veins stood out on his forehead, and he trembled like a mold on the verge of collapse. At this moment, he wasn't considering the specific situation or potential consequences. His fists clenched, a single thought ran through his head...

"I may be afraid of death, but... I won't just run away!" He suddenly began to pound his chest with his fists. Bloodshot eyes, he suddenly let out a thunderous roar... turning back towards Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei!

His movement was so fast that the whistle echoed from all directions. Hou Yunfei trembled upon seeing Yan Xiaobao suddenly reverse course, his expression hard to read. He looked surprised, grateful, then he suddenly began laughing. Then, his eyes flashed with determination, and without even considering defense, he charged at the members of the Luochen Clan with all he had left.

Meanwhile, Du Lingfei, blood splattered across her body from a Flying Sword slashing past her, looked up to see Yan Xiaobao, his eyes bloodshot, roaring towards them.

She felt as though struck by lightning, her jaw dropped. As many emotions surged through her, tears began rolling down her cheeks, touched, excited, shaken.

She knew how afraid Yan Xiaobao was of death, so when she saw him hurling towards them, shaking, with bloodshot eyes, she could only imagine the courage he'd summoned... to stop running, turn back, and charge at them again.

"Get out of here, you fool! Run! Don't let yourself be killed!" Tears streamed down her face. As Yan Xiaobao charged towards them, she didn't notice a Luochen Clan Disciple at the sixth level of Qi Condensation launching a palm strike at her back.

A loud crash rang out, blood spurted from her mouth. As she fell to the ground, her vision swam. Then, a Flying Sword from one of the Luochen Family cultivators began to soar through the air towards her head.

When Yan Xiaobao saw what was happening, he let out an even fiercer roar, then advanced forward with a different speed, reaching his limit. He soared through the air, transforming into a beam of light shooting towards Du Lingfei. Just as the Flying Sword was about to strike her, Yan Xiaobao landed beside her, scooped her up with one arm, then clenched his right fist, punching at the Flying Sword.

With Yan Xiaobao's strike, the Flying Sword spun away, a surge of heat reverberating.

The members of the Luochen Family were all stunned. Chen Yue's eyes flashed with surprise, but then quickly began to emit cold murderous intent.

"Good. Fake expert. I should have noticed you when you formed in Shadowhell! Everyone, hear me out, ignore the other two and kill this guy!" he shouted, the other Luochen Clan members' eyes gleaming with murderous intent as they moved in on Yan Xiaobao.

Holding Du Lingfei in his arms, Yan Xiaobao was a little dazed. Before she could do anything, he placed her aside and then fired at the approaching Luochen Family cultivators.

His eyes were bright red, and it seemed as if just at this moment, he wasn't even considering the possibility of dying. In fact, he wasn't thinking of anything except: Save Hou Yunfei. Save Du Lingfei. Kill all the enemies!

The closest of these opponents was at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, and as he closed in, his hands flashed in a spell gesture. In response, a glowing cone suddenly appeared, shooting at Yan Xiaobao viciously.

"Screw it!" Yan Xiaobao roared, delivering a fierce palm strike. The small cone began to shake, and when Yan Xiaobao's palm slammed into it, the glowing light shattered and the cone spun away.

The cultivator who summoned the cone gasped, a look of shock flashing across his face. Just as he was about to retreat, Yan Xiaobao performed a spell gesture. His Wooden Sword appeared, shooting out like a bolt of lightning. It didn't matter that his opponent was at the sixth level of Qi Condensation; he couldn't escape, and in fact, had no time to react before the sword stabbed into his forehead.

A tragic scream echoed as blood spurted out the other side of the sword. Then, it spun through the air towards the next enemy.

Meanwhile, a Luochen Clan member at the seventh level of Qi Condensation performed a spell gesture, causing fog to swirl around him, making him appear as a giant fog giant. Just as he closed in, Yan Xiaobao's hand suddenly shot out, thumb and forefinger together. Black light flickered, the defense provided by the fog unable to stop the black light.

Throat-shattering strike!

As the fog dissipated, a crack rang out. Watching the arm grasp his throat, the cultivator's eyes widened. Then, his throat was completely crushed.

Everything happened with incredible speed. Since Yan Xiaobao began his charge, only moments had passed, and already two members of the Luochen Clan had been killed!

Hou Yunfei, already back beside Du Lingfei, gasped, his eyes wide with shock.
