Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 292 Escape

"Master!"

Seeing that Fairy Shanyun was seriously injured and unable to get up, Long Yang and Zhao Yue had no intention of retreating.
The two immediately flew over, while He Xuan and the others stood still, glaring resentfully at the members of the Mang Sect.

With Fairy Shanyun still alive and restraining the Faceless Man, they can resist for a while longer thanks to the complex environment of the inner cave.

But what if Fairy Shanyun dies here, and they retreat to the inner cave?
Who can handle the powerful Faceless Man?

At that point, they would have no choice but to abandon Green Cloud Cave and escape through the underground river passage.

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn, Senior Brother!"

Shao Zhen shouted anxiously, "The Mang Sect has always had a way to break through the Flying Fish Nine Cauldrons Formation."

The reason for delaying the use of this method and instead slowly whittling it down with zombies is a deceptive tactic.

They were waiting for the Faceless Man, the protector of the Mang Cult, to arrive.

Now that the Faceless Man has arrived, the Mang Cult immediately destroyed the formation and defeated Fairy Shanyun.

If we don't leave now, it will be too late.

He Xuan hesitated, still harboring the idea of ​​cooperating with the Shanyun Sect to resist the Mang Sect.

After all, if the other disciples could escape, how could they explain it to Fairy Green Cloud if their true disciples ran away like this?
Seeing that He Xuan remained silent, Shao Zhen turned to Zhang Min, her tone filled with concern: "Xiao Min, you are seriously injured and should not stay here..."

"enough!"

Zhang Min shouted angrily, "If you want to leave, then leave. I'd rather die in Green Cloud Cave."

Shao Zhen was speechless. He turned to look at Mao Jingze, who was panting heavily, and ultimately remained silent.

On the other side, Fairy Shanyun shook her head as she watched Long Yang and Zhao Yue arrive. Her voice was tinged with helplessness: "Yang'er, take your senior sister away. She can't use her magic right now."

Zhao Yue was injured by the Crimson Cloud Talisman. Although she has now woken up, her aura is weak, even weaker than that of a Qi Refining early stage cultivator. She had only flown a short distance when she turned pale and was sweating profusely.

Long Yang looked at Zhao Yue, then at Fairy Shanyun, and asked anxiously, "If we leave, what will happen to you, Master?"

Fairy Shanyun remained silent.

She was under immense pressure facing the Faceless Man, barely managing to hold her own against him.

To cover her retreat, she took a desperate gamble, gathering half of her magical power, intending to fight the Faceless Man to the bitter end—she didn't believe his magical power was much greater than hers.

As long as she depletes the Faceless Man's magical power to a certain extent, he will inevitably become extremely wary.

However, at this critical moment, Madam Zhen's Eight-Eyed Demonic Eye Crystal suddenly plundered her magic power, delivering a fatal blow.

Having lost her magic powers, she was no match for the Faceless Man.

In addition, she attacked too quickly and too hastily, and had no time to dodge. As a result, she was hit head-on by the Faceless Man, who swept through the enemy like a whirlwind, and her internal organs were shattered.

Such severe injuries would have killed an ordinary person long ago.

Fairy Shanyun forcibly used her remaining magic power to prolong her life, but this magic power was only a drop in the bucket.

Her life had come to an end.

"I am fine, you may go first."

Fairy Shanyun's voice was weak, and each word she spoke was accompanied by violent coughing and splattering of blood.

Nevertheless, she still struggled to stand up, using the last bit of strength to stare sternly at Madam Zhen and the faceless man beside her—aside from these two, the other Mang Cult disciples had disappeared into some unknown corner.

Zhao Yue couldn't believe that he seemed to be alright.

Her icy facade finally crumbled. She grabbed Fairy Shanyun's arm and cried out in a sob, "Let's go together! We'll just give up the spiritual vein if necessary."

Fairy Shanyun glanced at Zhao Yue, her gaze softening, but she quickly turned her back and said in a commanding tone, "Long Yang, take your senior sister away. I'm only saying this one last time."

Long Yang gritted his teeth. He could tell that Fairy Shanyun was on her last legs, so he didn't hesitate any longer and pulled Zhao Yue over.

Zhao Yue tried to struggle, but fell unconscious under Long Yang's magic.

"Master, take care!"

After saying this, Long Yang didn't turn around and led Zhao Yue to the depths of the inner cave.

He Xuan and the others, who had been watching them from afar, also turned and dispersed.

With Fairy Shanyun no longer able to fight, even if everyone else stayed, they would only be sent to their deaths.

"Want to go?"

Madam Zhen sneered, then parted her lips slightly and chanted a spell. The ground began to shake violently, and a huge earth dragon rolled out, lashing out at Long Yang, He Xuan, and the others in their path.

"A spirit pet at the Bone Fusion stage!"

Shao Zhen's face turned deathly pale, and he muttered to himself, "Is this still the Mang Cult?"

In his memory, the Mang Sect was nothing more than a group of rogue cultivators, not worth mentioning.

Although the Mang Cult seems to have grown stronger over the years, even slaughtering several small factions in Hao County, most people just laugh it off.

The rise and fall of power in the cultivation world is a common occurrence.

Moreover, who can be sure that those forces were truly destroyed by the Mang Cult?
It should be noted that any monk can join the Mang Cult and act in its name, and the Mang Cult never denies this.

Perhaps some people are using the name of the Mang Cult to commit crimes. When Shao Zhen was busy working for the Green Cloud Cave, he also encountered Mang Cult disciples. Their cultivation level was utterly pathetic, and he looked down on them.

But now, the Mang Sect he is facing not only has Foundation Establishment cultivators, but also spirit pets in the Bone Fusion stage. How can he accept this?

Before he could even feel alarmed, the earth dragon was already right in front of him, with plumes of white smoke billowing from its massive body.

Shao Zhen only took a small whiff and felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Zhang Min and Mao Jingze, who were already injured, were in even worse shape and fell from the air.

"Xiaomin!"

Shao Zhen called out, instinctively wanting to turn back and meet Zhang Min.

But at this moment, the earth dragon's tail slammed into the ground, producing a deafening roar, and smoke and dust filled the air. Combined with the white mist it exhaled, it made it impossible to see anything.

Shao Zhen hesitated for a moment. He and He Xuan were in good condition, so they flew ahead.

Returning now would undoubtedly result in being entangled by the earth dragon.

If it were only the earth dragon, it would be fine. Although this demon's cultivation has reached the Bone Fusion stage, its intelligence is still inferior to that of a human.

But behind the earth dragon, there is also a faceless man.

That's what's truly terrifying.

"Xiaomin, I've already advised you, don't blame me!"

Shao Zhen gritted her teeth, finally made up her mind, and turned her head away from looking back.

At that moment, he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders, as if his body had become lighter, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.
-
With just a casual strike, the two disciples from the two factions who had not yet retreated were all caught in a predicament.

Already lacking in magical power, they dared not confront the earth dragon and could only dodge.

However, the white mist spewed out by the earth dragon became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"He Xuan, take my senior sister with you, I'm going to save them!"

Long Yang roared and threw Zhao Yue in his hand toward He Xuan, who was turning back.

He Xuan's face was full of anxiety. When he saw that Long Yang, who was closest to Zhang Min and Mao Jingze, was willing to help, he was overjoyed: "I'll hold this beast back for you!"

As he spoke, He Xuan lifted Zhao Yue with one hand, and with the other hand he quickly made a hand seal. His magic power danced wildly in his hand, transforming into a dragon that rushed straight towards the earth dragon.

Seeing this, Long Yang shouted angrily, "Don't make a move!"

But it was too late to speak now, so he had to hold his breath and quickly swallow a few pills.

With a loud "boom," the earth dragon was struck by the flood dragon, and its originally smooth back was blasted into a crater half a person's height, with scorching smoke rising into the air.

This injury was obviously insignificant to the massive earth dragon.

However, it still felt pain and anger, and the tail that was originally being dragged suddenly turned around and was turned towards He Xuan.

Although worried about Zhao Yue's safety, this was an opportunity that could not be missed.

Long Yang immediately flew through the gap in the earth dragon's body towards Zhang Min, Mao Jingze, and the others.
At the same time, the earth dragon's tail lashed out at the spot where He Xuan was.

He Xuan's face turned pale. Facing a demon cultivator at the Bone Fusion stage, he knew that he could lose his life if he was not careful.

He quickly pulled himself up, trying to avoid the attack.

But the earth dragon's anger was not fully vented.

Its tail resembled a giant pipe, spewing out billowing white smoke that quickly spread across the battlefield, forming a hazy "sea of ​​clouds."

"not good!"

He Xuan looked panicked. He, who was originally agile, became sluggish in this "sea of ​​clouds" as if he were stuck in a quagmire.

He gritted his teeth, summoned a tortoise shell, grabbed a handful of talismans, and stuck them all on without a second thought.

However, before he could activate all of these talismans...

The earth dragon's tail was now a constant companion.

"boom!"

The tail, carrying immense force, slammed violently onto the tortoise shell, producing a deafening roar.

The talismans on the tortoise shell were powerless against this power and were instantly torn into countless fragments and turned into dust.

He Xuan was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The tortoise shell shattered into pieces under the immense impact, and even his body was thrown away like a kite with a broken string.

Zhao Yue, whom he was holding, was also flung away and disappeared into the "sea of ​​clouds".

"Senior sister!"

Long Yang, who had already successfully rescued Zhang Min and Mao Jingze, was furious upon seeing this.

Just then, a cold and authoritative voice rang out: "You beast, why don't you die?"

Before he finished speaking, a section of the earth dragon's tail shot into the sky.
