Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 178 The Great Escape

Within the world of red soil, that plant was shrouded in ethereal energy, constantly emitting white mist, clearly no ordinary plant.

Even though he couldn't get in, Chen Xuan still benefited. Without needing to cultivate, the strange object acted like a life source, slowly restoring his physical and spiritual strength.

I remember the last time he was severely poisoned and nearly died, he entered the red earth world on the verge of death.

Chen Xuan boldly speculated that it might require a certain trigger, such as being close to death, to activate it?

This conjecture is difficult to verify; it teeters on the brink of death, and it's not worth risking a fatal fall.

As the sun sets in the west and day turns to night, a white moon emerges, hanging high in the night sky, radiating its pure white light.

"Chen Xuan, do we really have to leave now?" Xiao Wu, with her slender figure, walked gracefully in pink high heels.

Chen Xuan stood up, finished his cultivation, and nodded, saying, "Yes, visibility is poor at night, so the chances of being discovered are lower."

At night, under a sky dotted with stars and bathed in moonlight, a giant bird flashed across the dark sky, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

In the final stretch, every second counted. Chen Xuan didn't care about anything else and made the big bird fly at its fastest speed, twice as fast as before.

the other side

Meanwhile, the first stop was located fifty miles away in the Starry Sky Forest.

A dozen or so people had gathered there, dressed in black and purple. They covered their faces, revealing only their eyes, as if they were trying to hide their identities.

"Your Excellency, the rabbit's aura has reappeared!" The purple-robed deacon opened his eyes and withdrew his mental domain.

"Um."

The black-robed cardinal rose, picked up the greatsword beside him—broad and sharp—and remained calm, as if he had expected it all along.

Twenty kilometers away, at the Spirit Hall's second ambush site, a dozen or so people had also gathered. They were all wearing outer robes and were quite powerful, with none of them having a spirit power lower than the Spirit Emperor level.

"It's finally here." Lordiara lazily got up and stretched.

Purple-robed Cardinal Miles acted swiftly, gathering everyone immediately and setting off.

Thirty miles away, at the Spirit Hall's third ambush site, a formidable ten-man team, consisting of eight Soul Saints, was led by Platinum Bishop Salas.

Clearly, Bibi Dong was truly enraged, dispatching over thirty people, all of considerable strength, including three Soul Douluos leading the team, and even a representative like the Platinum Bishop was mobilized.

Brush brush!

At this moment, everyone sprang into action, transforming into streaks of black shadows and advancing in the same direction. Their movements were unpredictable, and they quickly vanished into the darkness.

……

Under the night sky, a large black bird spread its wings and flew at lightning speed, passing through layers of clouds at top speed.

"Almost there, I can already see the town." Chen Xuan estimated that it was at most two hundred miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest, and they had already flown more than fifty miles.

According to Xiao Wu, they don't need to enter the Star Dou Great Forest completely. If she appears within twenty miles, Da Ming and Er Ming will be able to sense her presence, and then they will be safe.

However, this journey is by no means easy; it must be extremely dangerous.

In the dead of night, the bright full moon disappeared, obscured by thick clouds. The moonlight dissipated, and the world gradually darkened, as if covered by a black cloth.

"Why is it windy?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

This wasn't the wind from flying. She looked down and saw the trees swaying and leaves fluttering, confirming that a breeze had picked up.

Everything went too smoothly the way; the large black bird continued to fly without incident, until it had flown more than a hundred miles...

Chen Xuan sat on the bird's back with his eyes closed, resting. The next moment, he suddenly tensed up, a sharp pain shooting through his forehead, as if someone were holding a knife to his head, making him extremely uneasy.

He abruptly stood up, six tomoe appearing in his eyes, spinning as he instantly activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

When he entered the Red Earth World, he absorbed the celestial mist emitted by strange plants, which unlocked a certain spiritual ability that allowed him to foresee the approach of death and avoid fatal attacks.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Wu gently took his arm, her expression filled with concern.

The scene before him remained calm, but Chen Xuan felt extremely uneasy. He felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows and knew he couldn't stay where he was any longer.

Chi!

He flung out his kunai, sending it flying into the distance, and then immediately used his space-time ability to teleport away with Xiao Wu and their mount.

boom!

On a dark and windy night, the silence was broken when a beam of light descended from the sky, followed by a deafening explosion that shook the earth.

There, a small golden ball fell, its light soaring into the sky, and exploded violently, instantly disintegrating the earth and rocks, leaving a crater fifty meters deep.

Looking back at the sky, Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. He had witnessed a devastating attack. If they had been a step slower, they would likely have been in grave danger.

Xiao Wu's face paled, and she bit her lip tightly, trying her best to calm herself down.

This is the true strength of the Spirit Hall, terrifying beyond measure.

"You're quite skilled, you actually dodged it." High in the sky, a giant golden eagle appeared, its body enormous, its talons sharp, its wings flapping as it hovered in the air.

The giant eagle was golden, its entire body resembling a layer of golden glass. It was an energy form, and inside it, a man with his hands behind his back was looking down at Chen Xuan.

This person is none other than Lordiara, an 86th-level Soul Douluo powerhouse.

"You're too slow, Lordiara." At that moment, a deep and powerful voice rang out from the sky, echoing across the sky.

Chen Xuan felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows; the shadow of death had returned. He dared not linger and threw out his kunai again, shooting it into the distance, and teleported away with Xiao Wu.

Chi!

Above the clouds, a massive sword appeared, blotting out the sky and resembling a mountain, descending with ultimate soul light, shining brilliantly.

boom!

The earth trembled violently, a real earthquake shook the mountains, a mountain was split open, soil and rocks collapsed, trees were pulverized, and everything was submerged in the sword light.

Chen Xuan was shocked to see a 200-meter-high mountain that had been cleaved in two, a horrifying sight.

Beneath the clouds, a figure appeared, riding a large sword as it approached.

He was dressed in black, but did not conceal his face. He had white hair, with graying hair at his temples, and was an old man.

This person is none other than the Black-Clad Bishop, who presided over the finals of the continent-wide elite Soul Master competition—Bad Guy A.

Chen Xuan and Xiao Wu were startled, recognizing the other party's identity. They never expected that even the Black Cardinal would be mobilized.

Chi!

A loud bang rang out, and the air trembled. Chen Xuan sensed the danger and controlled the large bird to fly away at top speed, leaving the spot.

Behind them, three cold sword lights slashed down, each twenty meters long and flashing with a cold light, heading towards the sky.

The large bird flapped its wings and flew high, constantly changing its position, before finally avoiding the three sword energies.

Chen Xuan realized that being in the air was like being a sitting duck, which was extremely disadvantageous.

He pressed his palm against the bird's back, pouring in lightning soul power without regard for cost, causing the giant bird's speed to more than double.

The large bird was crackling with electric arcs as it flapped its wings and soared, flying hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky and disappearing into the dark night.

"Chase!" Black-robed Bishop A commanded, taking to the skies and flying off on his greatsword.

"Not bad speed, but too bad you won't go far." Lordiara sneered, a bulge rising on his back as he unfurled a pair of golden wings, each feather gleaming gold.

Chen Xuan could not withstand such a exertion of his soul power and could not hold on for long. After flying ten miles, the giant bird changed direction and plunged into the vast forest.
