Chapter 114 Escape
Liu Yitao gazed upon her bound disciples. Their pained, helpless faces were like sharp blades, piercing her heart. Her heart was torn and agonized. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, her heart a turbulent sea, unable to calm down. She knew that if she continued this hopeless struggle, the outcome would be disastrous. Not only would her own life be in jeopardy, but even her cherished disciples would be plunged into a dark abyss from which there would be no escape.
A flicker of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes, her thoughts racing like lightning. In this critical moment, she instantly decided to give it her all. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would fight for her disciples. With a flicker of her wrist, like a blooming lotus, Liu Yitao suddenly summoned the magical ethereal drum from her arms. The ethereal drum emanated a mysterious and profound light, and runes flickered on its surface like a mystical starry sky.
Liu Yitao swung her hands rapidly, her movements as fast as lightning, striking the ethereal drum like a torrential downpour. Instantly, the ethereal drum emitted a powerful and resounding sound wave. This sound wave, as if tangible, rushed towards Aoxue with overwhelming force. Aoxue, feeling elated, had completely unaware of Liu Yitao's astonishing backhand. The sudden, powerful sound wave struck her hard, leaving her head dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning. She briefly lost control of her body, stumbling and nearly losing her balance, her once proud figure now in disarray.
The dizziness lasted only three seconds, but for Liu Yitao, those fleeting seconds were more than enough. She seized this fleeting moment and frantically gathered all her spiritual energy into her palms. The spiritual energy shone brightly, dazzling and brilliant, like a brilliant star bursting forth endless radiance within her grasp. With a delicate cry, her voice filled with determination and courage, she fiercely blasted at the spiritual net that bound Taiyue and Taiqing.
There was a deafening bang, like a thunderclap, shaking the earth. The seemingly indestructible, unbreakable spiritual energy net shattered in an instant, dissipating into tiny specks of starlight, vanishing like a dream. Without even a moment to gasp for air or calm the surging blood and qi within her, Liu Yitao flashed with ghostly speed, grabbing Taiyue and Taiqing tightly and fleeing without hesitation. Her figure was as swift as the wind, like a flash of lightning streaking across the sky.
Aoxue quickly regained consciousness from her brief dizziness. Upon discovering that Liu Yitao and the others had escaped, she flew into a rage, her face contorted with fury, her once beautiful features now grimacing with ferocity. She gnashed her teeth and roared, her voice filled with endless rage and resentment, before unleashing her magic weapon—the Heart-Breaking Needle. The needle, as thin as an ox's hair, gleamed with a chilling cold light, like a streak of death, pursuing Liu Yitao and the others at alarming speed.
While Liu Yitao was running away quickly, she keenly felt the deadly threat coming from behind. The chill seemed to freeze her soul. She gritted her teeth, biting her lips until they bled, but she did not flinch. Without hesitation, she released the shield of the fairy pendant. The shield rippled like water waves, emitting a soft yet tenacious light, like a layer of protective gauze. The heart-breaking needle hit the shield, making a sharp and piercing sound, and sparks flew, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the darkness. The powerful impact made Liu Yitao's figure suddenly stagnate, and she almost fell forward, leaving deep footprints on the ground under her feet. But fortunately, this first attack was finally blocked, but the shield also shattered under the huge impact, turning into countless fragments and disappearing, like a broken dream.
Before Liu Yitao could breathe a sigh of relief, a second heart-breaking needle followed, striking her in the back with lightning speed and deadly force. Liu Yitao felt a piercing pain, as if thousands of sharp blades were thrashing her back. The pain penetrated her bones, excruciating. She couldn't help but let out a loud "wow," and a mouthful of blood gushed out. The blood turned into a cloud of blood in the air, a poignant and heartbreaking sight.
At that moment, Aoxue had already caught up to him, her eyes filled with murderous intent, a gaze that seemed to freeze anyone. She raised her palm and slapped it. This palm, imbued with boundless rage and powerful spiritual energy, roared out like a raging hurricane, determined to take Liu Yitao's life.
At this crucial moment, Liu Yitao's spirit pendant unleashed another shield. However, this time, it was unable to withstand Aoxue's thunderous, unstoppable attack. The shield shattered instantly with a resounding sound, like shattering glass, transforming into tiny specks of light that dissipated into the air. Like a kite with its string cut, Liu Yitao was blasted far away by the immense force, her body arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Just as the enraged Aoxue was about to take the opportunity to end the lives of the three, Liu Yitao, before passing out, used up her last bit of strength and struggled to cast a talisman from her fingertips. This was the only and extremely precious talisman in Liuxia Mountain - the directional teleportation talisman, and its location, which Liu Yitao had carefully modified before, was exactly Xianju Cave.
In a flash of light, Liu Yitao, her apprentice, and the other two vanished instantly, their fateful attack missing. Aoxue's fatal attack was in vain. She stared at the empty space ahead, her face gloomy as if water could drip from it. She roared angrily, her voice echoing through the empty sky and earth, filled with resentment and anger.
With a flash of light, Liu Yitao, her two disciples and her master disappeared from the spot in an instant and appeared in Xianju Cave.
As soon as she landed, Liu Yitao clung to her last glimmer of clarity, her eyes filled with a desire to survive and concern for her disciples. With trembling hands, she painstakingly pulled an ancient book from her bosom and handed it to Tai Qing. She spoke weakly but firmly, "Tai Qing, this book may hold a cure for my injuries. You must find it." Her voice trembled, as if every word exhausted her entire being.
After saying this, Liu Yitao took out another life-extending pill and placed it in her mouth. The pill melted in her mouth, transforming into a warm and gentle current that flowed through her body. However, her injuries were too severe, and the pill could only temporarily sustain her life, delaying the passage of life. Soon, she fell into a coma, her body limp to the ground like a withered petal.
Taiqing and Taiyue were terribly anxious, tears welling in their eyes, threatening to burst forth at any moment. Taiyue clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the exertion, and gritted his teeth as he cried, "Sister, we must save Master!" His voice was filled with unwavering determination and deep pain.
Tai Qing nodded heavily, and with trembling hands, she flipped open the ancient book. The book felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and her hands trembled constantly as she began to carefully search for a way to treat Liu Yitao's injuries. Her eyes were focused and anxious, and beads of sweat covered her forehead.
……
"This is what happened in the past." Liu Yitao stood up and took Su Nan's hand and continued, "Sister, I have broken through the Return to One stage now and can go for revenge. Can you help me take care of these two children? It's not necessary to keep them by your side, but if they have any problems in the future, you can just help them out a little." Liu Yitao choked up when she said this, and her voice was full of helplessness and reluctance. It was obvious that she knew that there was a great possibility of her dying in the way of revenge.
Su Nan said in a deep voice: "Don't you think this is too much to ask?"
