Chapter 282: Reinforcements Arrive
Poisoned by the snake venom and not having escaped too far, Song Qingyu's magic power had already been consumed by more than half. Looking at the two people chasing relentlessly behind her, Song Qingyu could only choose to grit her teeth and hold on. Once she stopped her steps, the only thing waiting for her would be death.
Gritting her teeth and fleeing more than thirty miles to the east, Song Qingyu, whose escape speed was getting slower and slower, was still caught up by Wu Xiang and the two unexpectedly.
Seeing an icy sword light attacking from behind, Song Qingyu hurriedly stopped her steps and dodged this attack sideways.
Just after dodging Wu Xiang's attack, the fire light released by Chen Zicong, who caught up, hit Song Qingyu directly and knocked her back several feet.
She was already poisoned, and had consumed a lot of magic power to escape. This blow also made Song Qingyu unable to stabilize her breath, and she directly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"I advise you to just surrender, so as not to waste our effort." Wu Xiang's mouth raised slightly, revealing a somewhat lewd smile.
Song Qingyu didn't open her mouth to reply to him, ran the little magic power left in her body, and turned it into several water pillars that hit Wu Xiang and the two respectively.
"Hmph! Truly ignorant of praise." Wu Xiang raised his hand and quickly released his defensive magic artifact to block in front of him, easily blocking Song Qingyu's attack.
Seeing that the power of the spell she released had also been greatly reduced, and Chen Zicong had blocked her way first, the strong-willed Song Qingyu gradually fell into despair.
Just when Song Qingyu didn't know how to escape, she suddenly saw a sword light slowly lighting up in front, approaching them quickly. It seemed that someone was coming this way, and it was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator with not low cultivation.
Wu Xiang and the two who were surrounding Song Qingyu also soon discovered this sword light. Knowing that a Foundation Establishment cultivator was coming this way, and fearing that the newcomer would spoil their business, the two also exerted their full strength and killed Song Qingyu directly.
Having reached this point, Song Qingyu couldn't care so much anymore. She directly took out a yellow talisman. After injecting magic power into the talisman, a golden light shield quickly covered her entire body.
Wu Xiang's short blade and the spell released by Chen Zicong almost hit the golden shield at the same time. Hearing several loud noises of magic artifact collision, the golden shield unexpectedly blocked their full-strength blow outside the shield.
This second-level mid-grade defensive talisman was given to her by Song Qingming for self-defense when she went to guard Qinghe Market a few years ago. It was also Song Qingyu's last trump card. Fortunately, after using this talisman, the effect didn't disappoint her, winning her a key moment.
Song Qingyu, who had used her last life-saving talisman, was also about to lose her last ability to resist. Next, her fate could only be handed over to heaven.
No matter who came, as long as she could win a little time for her to wait for Song Qingming and the others to come to support the market, she could save her life. The only thing she was afraid of was that the person who came was just a passing loose cultivator with low cultivation who didn't dare to get involved in this battle.
Thinking so much, when she saw the person who came, Song Qingyu was still a bit surprised. The first one to arrive here was not Song Qingming and the others she hoped for most, but Gao Yubai, whose face was still a bit cold in white clothes.
Back then, Huang Shengyue joined forces with Song Qingming to beat Gao Yubai, and Song Qingyu also knew about it. Now that her life was in danger and she met him, a bitter smile also rose in Song Qingyu's heart.
After Gao Yubai arrived at the battlefield, seeing Wu Xiang and the two surrounding the already embarrassed Song Qingyu, he didn't hesitate too much, directly took out his magic artifact to relieve Song Qingyu, and confronted Wu Xiang and the two.
After a battle with Song Qingyu, Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong didn't suffer any injuries, but they also consumed a lot of magic power. Gao Yubai didn't fall into a disadvantage at all when facing the two alone, and soon rescued Song Qingyu from the battlefield.
Seeing that only Gao Yubai came, Wu Xiang threatened with an unkind tone, "Fellow Daoist, we just have some grudges with this person, it has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, so as not to accidentally hurt you later."
"Hmph! What a big tone, not afraid of burning your mouth when saying this? Just relying on you two, can you accidentally hurt me?"
Gao Yubai himself had outstanding spiritual roots, and his cultivation talent was very high. His cultivation had also reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. Now facing Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong, who were a step lower than him in cultivation, his somewhat arrogant heart didn't put them in his eyes at all.
In comparison, Wu Xiang and the two felt much more guilty in their hearts. Although they were not afraid of Gao Yubai when they joined forces, this was, after all, Qinghe County's territory. Once the time dragged on and the other party had more reinforcements, it would be difficult for the two of them to escape.
Seeing that Gao Yubai was not moved at all, Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong looked at Song Qingyu helplessly and chose to retreat in the face of difficulties and returned to Qinghe Market.
After rescuing Song Qingyu, Gao Yubai looked at her and didn't care about her anymore, turning into a sword light and chasing after Wu Xiang and the two.
The reason why Gao Yubai could arrive to support one step earlier than Song Qingming and the others was also because the Gao family was closer to Qinghe Market, and he happened not to be in seclusion. After receiving the request for help from Qinghe Market, he rushed to Qinghe Market one step ahead.
Just arrived nearby, seeing Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting not far away, Gao Yubai rushed over and happened to see Song Qingyu being surrounded by Wu Xiang and the two.
Although this person Gao Yubai was a bit arrogant, he was, after all, the successor carefully cultivated by Gao Jinhe. Although Gao Yubai still held a grudge against Song Qingming for ambushing him with the Huang family back then, he still didn't choose to kick Song Qingyu when she was down at this moment.
After all, Qinghe Market involved the overall interests of the entire Qinghe County. No matter how much they fought in secret, everyone had to unite when facing common foreign enemies at this moment.
Not long after Song Qingyu was rescued, Qinghe Market's mountain-protecting formation also reached the final moment. Under the full attack of Cheng Yilong and others, the market formation finally couldn't hold on and collapsed with a bang.
Seeing that the formation had been broken, Cheng Yilong gave an order, and more than a hundred bandit cultivators rushed directly into Qinghe Market, starting to collect spiritual items in each shop.
Song Changxiong and others, who had been struggling to support, saw that the formation had been broken, and could only concentrate the remaining cultivators in one place, forming a Golden Net Immortal-Trapping Formation to resist those bandit cultivators who wanted to take action against them.
Seeing that someone still wanted to make a desperate struggle, Cheng Yilong, while intensifying the search for spiritual items, sent people to intensify the siege of Song Changxiong and others who were already trapped in the urn.
He himself flew into the air, chasing those cultivators who wanted to escape from the market during the chaos, not intending to let go of anyone in Qinghe Market.
At this moment, Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong, who went to pursue Song Qingyu, also finally returned, but not far behind them followed a sword light, which was Gao Yubai who came to support Qinghe Market.
