117. Chapter 117: Escape

Luo Yao gritted her teeth, then took out a bottle of Spirit Milk and threw it to Xi Lan.

"Lan Jie, this is the Spirit Milk that restores Spirit Power."

After speaking, Luo Yao quickly consumed a drop of Spirit Milk, and her depleted Spirit Power instantly recovered.

Xi Lan also noticed the effect of the Spirit Milk, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Then, shock rose in her heart; the effect of Luo Yao's Spirit Milk was actually a hundred times better than her own Pill.

She did not blame Luo Yao for not bringing it out earlier, or for accepting her Pill despite having this; instead, she felt moved that Luo Yao would offer such a precious item to her.

With the support of the Spirit Milk, the array, which had been on the verge of collapse, held firm once again.

But the two of them, Luo Yao and Xi Lan, knew very well that this was merely a final burst of energy before death.

Luo Yao opened her mouth, yet she could not stop it.

"I will hold them off; you leave first!"

The Fierce Ghost shouted to the surroundings, "In the name of the Black Wind Sect, whoever captures those two who kidnapped the Princess shall be rewarded."

However, as time passed, the speed of their escape light slowed more and more; although Xi Lan had the Spirit Milk to restore Spirit Power, people still grow tired.

Luo Yao then took out a Flying Boat; after the three of them boarded, Luo Yao inserted a Mid-grade Spirit Stone into the Array.

This was somewhat absurd.

Every Yin Soul Luo Yao encountered along the way attacked her.

Hearing this, Xi Lan could not help but sigh, and she did not make a fuss.

Therefore, she could not let these Yin Souls leave.

Under the crisis of life and death, she was now on the verge of breaking through.

She gritted her teeth, decisively stored the Flying Boat, and then charged toward the horde of Yin Souls.

She did not break her word; she truly did not use the Thunder Talisman or the Wuji Skyfire Fan, fighting the Yin Souls only with her Innate Dharma Treasure.

"What about the Heaven Fire?"

But for Luo Yao, this was a good thing.

"The Heaven Fire is not needed either!"

She understood Xi Lan's meaning; as long as she left, Xi Lan would not have to clash directly with the Fierce Ghost.

Luo Yao had not even finished speaking when the Yin Souls were suddenly overjoyed, but a second later, Luo Yao's words made them change their expressions.

More importantly, having clearly seen that Luo Yao had no Spirit Power left, the Yin Souls were suddenly overjoyed.

"Stop them!"

As a result, who would have known that a second later, the Spirit Power within Luo Yao's body recovered to its peak state.

Xi Lan tossed another Jade Slip to Luo Yao, "Inside is a simple map, along with information on some factions within the Ancient Battlefield; if we separate, we will regroup at Youjing City."

But how could Luo Yao let them leave? She used the siege of these Yin Souls to create pressure for herself.

Although their contact time was short, she had to admit that Luo Yao felt Xi Lan was indeed a good person and a friend worth deepening ties with.

"Roar!"

A simple-minded Yin Soul actually took it seriously and even asked with some audacity.

They could not defeat her in a siege, but in a one-on-one, there was a chance.

Boom!

With the thunderous sound of the Long Sword, countless bolts of lightning instantly erupted around Xi Lan.

"Ice Seal!"

And the two of them, Luo Yao and Xi Lan, also suffered backlash.

After all, Luo Yao held a Thunder Talisman in one hand and Heaven Fire in the other, both of which countered them.

Xiao Kui's strength was about the same as hers, but since she was a Puppet, the attacks of the Yin Souls could not harm her at all.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, knowing they could not hold back, they decisively severed their connection with the Array, thus avoiding injury.

"I will draw her away; you leave first."

But unexpectedly, these "simple-minded" Yin Souls actually agreed.

"Where are you running?"

Driven by the Mid-grade Spirit Stone, the Flying Boat's speed had reached its limit.

But the Fierce Ghost behind them still hung on, impossible to shake off.

To be honest, this request was somewhat excessive.

Luo Yao waved Sword Qi, and the temperature around them instantly dropped by over ten degrees; even the surrounding Yin Qi froze, but that was only for an instant.

This forced Luo Yao to recall the God-Devouring Ant.

"Go!"

A body originally one meter tall instantly expanded to two meters, then, gripping something resembling a spiked club, smashed it hard against the Array.

Thus, she took out Xiao Kui and the God-Devouring Ant.

And that Fierce Ghost quickly chased after them.

She had very few Thunder Talismans to begin with, so her not using them was genuine.

"However, unless you come one by one and fight me in a duel!"

Xi Lan cast a Palm Thunder to force the surrounding Yin Souls back, then waved her hand to lead Luo Yao and the others away into the distance.

The Array Ant shattered, revealing the figures of Luo Yao and Xi Lan.

Luo Yao naturally did not yield; she took out the Wuji Skyfire Fan and charged at the Yin Souls blocking the path.

"Kill!"

She hesitated only a moment before urging the flying boat to depart swiftly.

The Yin Souls looked at one another, wondering what had just happened.

Seeing two humans, the Yin Souls' eyes immediately brightened, revealing greed.

Under Xiao Kui's cover, Luo Yao manipulated the Wuji Skyfire Fan to reach Xi Lan's side.

Seated on the flying boat, Xi Lan, having recovered her strength, detached herself from the vessel and charged at the Fierce Ghost.

Boom!

Instantly, the flying boat became a blur, vanishing before the Yin Souls.

However, for some unknown reason.

"She is alone; with so many of us ghosts, what are we afraid of!"

"Kill!"

The Yin Souls, naturally unwilling to let the two escape, all transformed into Yin Winds and pursued them.

So, she spoke up, "Rest assured, I won't use the Thunder Talisman anymore."

Luo Yao could never abandon Xi Lan and flee alone.

Killing Yin Souls would yield Yin Soul Beads, and it would also temper her own body; killing two birds with one stone.

Watching the battle raging behind her and sensing that terrifying momentum, Luo Yao knew she could not intervene.

Without the Dharma Treasure that restrained the Yin Souls, their power could naturally be unleashed; moreover, the surrounding Yin Qi was dense, further favoring the Yin Souls.

Are you sure you aren't playing tricks on ghosts?

How could a normal person recover their Spirit Power so quickly?

Thus, when a pile of Yin Soul Beads accumulated at Luo Yao's feet, the Yin Souls began to fear.

Only a loud crash was heard; the Array cracked, turning into nothingness and vanishing completely.

The next second, the Yin Qi crashed into the Sword Qi, destroying it.

Xi Lan stepped forward, blocking in front of Luo Yao, and drew a purple Long Sword from her hand.

The Fierce Ghost's expression changed; it abandoned the other Yin Souls and pursued alone.

After all, Luo Yao's green robes and Xi Lan's red robes were extremely eye-catching.

"Sister Lan, please don't let anything happen!"

A Yin Soul shouted from afar, yet it hid behind the others, a trace of fear flashing in its eyes.

"Boom!"

"Sister Lan, if we leave, we leave together!"

As for the God-Devouring Ants, Luo Yao was unsure if they would be useful.

As the Fierce Ghost's voice spread everywhere, the surrounding Yin Souls instantly exploded into chaos, charging at Luo Yao and the others.

"!!!"

The result was that the previously invincible God-Devouring Ants, as soon as they emerged, began to sizzle, clearly being severely corroded by the Yin Qi.

Boom!

Just then, the Fierce Ghost, which had not acted until now, appeared.

Luo Yao quickly retreated to dodge, yet ended up beside other Yin Souls.

But those Yin Souls instinctively retreated, making space for her to fight and to avoid being caught in the crossfire; they were very righteous, not launching a sneak attack on her.

This surprised Luo Yao, but she quickly composed her mind.
