Chapter 674: Chapter 109: Escape Escape Escape Escape Escape (16 Updates)

"Ah—!"

A tragic scream suddenly echoed.

That made the newly condensed Power of Laws in Cold Inch instantly dissipate.

The severed hand was directly cut from the shoulder, flying in the air for a moment before landing on the snow.

"My hand! My hand!" Mu Tianyin fell painfully to the ground, clutching his severed right shoulder with his left hand, where blood was still gushing out, starkly visible on the icy snow.

His eyes were wide with fury, his face contorted with sweat and agony, staring at the arm lying not far away.

If he could retrieve it immediately, there was still a chance to reattach it!

Mu Tianyin lunged toward his severed hand.

But just as he moved, a foot stepped on his severed hand.

Looking up along that foot, he first saw the pair of hands constantly regenerating, holding the broken spear. Then, he saw Mu Qingge’s cold and indifferent expression.

Mu Qingge looked at him, her intent was to take Mu Tianyin’s life, but ultimately she could only sever his arm. In her cold, sharp gaze, a trace of dissatisfaction flickered.

"Want your hand back?" Mu Qingge sneered.

She knelt down on one knee, moving her foot away from the severed arm. She saw the longing in Mu Tianyin’s eyes, making her extremely pleased.

Poof!

With a soft sound, Mu Qingge used the Linglong Spear to pierce through the palm of the severed arm, lifting it from the snow.

That stab seemed to resonate with Mu Tianyin, making his features even more distorted.

He crawled up from the snow, while stopping his bleeding, his gaze coldly fixed on Mu Qingge. "Return my arm, and I’ll spare your life this time!"

"Spare my life?" Mu Qingge laughed, a smile filled with coldness and mockery. "You want to spare me, but what if I want you dead?"

With that, her eyes fell on the severed arm pierced through the spear, and suddenly flames erupted from it.

It was the Taichu Urgent Fire, instantly burning the severed arm to ashes right before Mu Tianyin, dropping onto the snow.

She didn’t even know why she could still control the Abnormal Fire, and seemingly more effortlessly.

"Mu Qingge—!" Mu Tianyin squeezed out Mu Qingge’s name through gritted teeth.

His cold and disdainful eyes were filled with intense hatred. Bloodthirsty, he seemed eager to torture Mu Qingge to death.

"Hate? Pain? Too bad, still far from enough!" Mu Qingge sneered, her gaze sharp, once more charging toward Mu Tianyin.

Her time to enhance her Cultivation was almost up; she needed to kill Mu Qingge in the final moments.

"Mu Qingge, I’m going to kill you—!" Mu Tianyin’s eyes were bloodshot, terrifyingly matching his fierce features.

He, too, charged at Mu Qingge, recklessly intent on killing her.

In the snow, the two fiercely collided, golden Spiritual Power forming a huge arc between them, shattering nearby glaciers and rolling snow.

The ground shook, seemingly no longer able to withstand this battle.

Yet, whether on Mu Qingge’s side or the side of Hou, both continued to fight heedlessly.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

After the collision, Mu Qingge and Mu Tianyin simultaneously flew back, spitting blood from their mouths, neither gaining an advantage.

"Hahahahaha—! Want to kill me? You’re courting death!" Mu Tianyin laughed crazily, continuing to attack Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge staggered a few steps in the snow, her internal Spiritual Power already unstable, a sign of Cultivation recession.

She looked up at Mu Tianyin’s attack, raising her hands to block it.

Bam—!

The attack landed, directly shattering an entire ice layer, flinging Mu Qingge’s body far and dropping with force.

"Cough!" Mu Qingge coughed violently, spitting out dirty blood, swiftly rising from the ground, her gaze fiercely fixed on Mu Tianyin.

"Mu Qingge, meet your end—!" Mu Tianyin unleashed all his Spiritual Power, vowing to kill Mu Qingge.

And at this moment—

Mu Qingge’s internal Spiritual Power suddenly stalled, originally at Golden Realm Fourth Layer, quickly regressing...

Golden Realm Fourth Layer!

Golden Realm Third Layer!

Golden Realm Second Layer!

Golden Realm First Layer!

Silver Realm Sixth Layer!

As her Cultivation fell into Silver Realm, a crack appeared in the space not far behind her, spewing out three people like a giant mouth.

These were Jiang Li, Mu Chen, and Mu Peng, previously taken into her Infinite Space.

Now her Cultivation could no longer sustain in Golden Realm, naturally unable to have people within the space.

Silver Realm Fifth Layer!

Silver Realm Fourth Layer!

Silver Realm Third Layer!

Mu Qingge’s Cultivation kept falling until it stopped at Silver Realm Third Layer.

Suddenly, an unprecedented exhaustion swept over her heart, and her dark hair slowly turned white at visible speed.

"Hahahaha! Turns out you increased your Cultivation by burning your lifespan, now your time is up, lifespan running out, try surviving this. You care so much about those people’s lives, I’ll kill them before your eyes!" Mu Tianyin saw Mu Qingge’s now silver hair, immediately laughing madly.

He leaped into the air and unleashed a full-force strike of the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, heading toward the three who had just emerged from space, Jiang Li and the others.

"No——!" Mu Qingge’s eyes widened abruptly; she didn’t have time to think and flew out directly, throwing herself toward the three, using her back to block Mu Tianyin’s attack.

"Qingge——!"

"Young Master——!"

"Ah——!"

Amidst the panicked calls of Jiang Li and the others, there was also a scream.

Mu Tianyin’s last subordinate was torn to pieces by Hou and thrown at his feet, causing Mu Tianyin’s expression to change as he warily looked at Hou.

However, Hou did not target him and instead lunged towards Mu Qingge, who was sprawled in the snow.

"Qingge!"

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Jiang Li and the others stumbled to Mu Qingge’s side, frightened by her silver hair.

Jiang Li, with a pained heart, lifted her from the snow and held her in her arms, repeatedly calling out, "Qingge, Qingge..."

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Mu Chen and Mu Peng were equally anxious.

"She burned her lifespan to forcibly enhance her cultivation, so she won’t die immediately, but she also won’t wake up," Hou said, looking at Mu Qingge with furrowed brows.

"Burning lifespan..." Jiang Li looked at Hou in shock and then at Mu Qingge. Tears flowed continuously from her eyes; she knew Mu Qingge had this reckless character.

Hou was filled with anger; seeing Mu Qingge in this state made him want to kill someone.

Hou suddenly turned his head to look at the one-armed Mu Tianyin, who was now far from his former imposing demeanor, appearing disheveled and extremely weak.

’Kill him, at least let the girl be at peace!’ Hou told himself.

In an instant, he vanished from Mu Qingge’s side and charged towards Mu Tianyin.

Mu Tianyin was shocked; having lost an arm and his cultivation being greatly diminished, how could he fight Hou? He retreated repeatedly to evade Hou’s fierce attacks, suddenly pulling out a medicine bottle, crushing it, and swallowing a gold-glowing pill.

This scene made Hou suddenly stop, his eyes narrowing.

In an instant, a terrifying aura surged from Mu Tianyin’s body as he grinned hideously, "Don’t think you’re the only one who can enhance your cultivation, Mu Qingge! Although Cold Inch restricts cultivation to the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, it’s not without exceptions!"

The elixir he took was given by his master for emergencies. It could break through Cold Inch’s restrictions, restoring his cultivation to his true realm.

The consequence, however, would be the collapse of Cold Inch, and upon returning, he would lose his cultivation for some time.

So, unless he was utterly desperate, he would never have used this pill.

Originally, with five at the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, the plan seemed foolproof, yet he had been forced into this state by Mu Qingge, and now there was an ever-watching Hou nearby.

"Hahahahaha——! None of you think you can leave, you’re all going to die here!" Mu Tianyin screamed maniacally.

Hou immediately decided to return to Mu Qingge, pulling her up from the snow, placing her on his back, and telling the others, "Run!"

Jiang Li and the others, unaware of what had happened, also felt the terrifying aura spreading.

"Run? Where can you go?" Mu Tianyin laughed wildly, casually unleashing a tremendously powerful force toward the fleeing group.

The force reached them instantly, shattering the icy surface.

Caught off guard, they were affected by the blast and plunged into the snow ahead.

Mu Qingge fell into the snow again, and the incense given by the High Priest fell out.

Mu Chen saw the incense, his eyes shrinking as he exclaimed, "Damn! We’re running out of time, if we can’t get out, we’ll be stuck here."

Hou lifted Mu Qingge again, gritting his teeth, "Push with all your might to return!"

He shielded them with his body, and the remaining three followed closely behind.

The movement jostled the Palace Bell at Mu Qingge’s waist, emitting a crisp sound.

"Escape? Where can you escape to?" Mu Tianyin sneered at their retreating backs.

...

"Hmm?" In the Infinite Space, Si Mo’s Palace Bell at his waist suddenly shook, and an inexplicable fear arose in his heart. He immediately put down his work, tore open space following the bell’s aura, and stepped in.

...

In Cold Inch, that patch of green had entered their view, yet it was still a long distance away.

Mu Tianyin’s aura pursued relentlessly, seemingly toying with them.

Suddenly, Jiang Li stopped, gravely saying, "At this rate, none of us will escape. You take Qingge and leave, I will hold him off!"

"Miss Jiang, no!" Mu Chen protested.

Hou’s eyes also showed disapproval.

But Jiang Li insisted, "Don’t hesitate, drag this out and we’ll all die!"

With that, she turned to charge out, gripping the Evil Extermination crafted by Mu Qingge for her.

Her resolute back made Hou’s eyes darken, and he instructed Mu Chen and the others, "Let’s go!"

They took Mu Qingge and continued toward the place they had initially descended, while Jiang Li turned back to block Mu Tianyin.

"You think you can stop me? Just you?" Mu Tianyin sneered disdainfully. He looked at Jiang Li, boldly appraising her, "Are you Mu Qingge’s woman? Very well, taking you back, I won’t fear him not delivering himself."

Jiang Li laughed coldly, charging at Mu Tianyin with the Evil Extermination in hand...
