Yu Xiaoheng was panting heavily.
The second Heavenly Dragon Annihilation Strike drained most of his soul power. He felt a tearing pain in his meridians. He experienced a moment of dizziness.
He didn't bother to check on the fate of the two titled Douluo.
Under the continuous bombardment of the 100,000-year-old soul skill, even if the two didn't die, they would definitely lose the ability to pursue.
"go!"
Yu Xiaoheng grabbed Rou'er's arm.
He mustered his last breath, channeled the last bit of soul power within him, and charged deeper into the Sunset Forest with Rou'er.
The two fled at full speed through the dense forest.
Chapter 464 Gathering in Sunset Forest
Yu Xiaoheng only stopped after running more than ten miles and confirming that no pursuers were following him.
He leaned against a moss-covered boulder and coughed violently.
"Are you OK?"
Rou'er quickly helped him up and took out a bottle of soul power recovery potion from her storage soul tool and handed it to him.
Yu Xiaoheng pushed the medicine away.
He looked up, his face extremely pale, his expression revealing an undisguised gloom.
They escaped.
He successfully repelled both of these titled Douluo.
But this is not something to be happy about.
This encounter allowed him to see his true combat capabilities. It also revealed an extremely fatal piece of information.
That's his usual state; he's simply no match for a Title Douluo.
If he cannot use his trump card, a 100,000-year-old soul skill, he is completely vulnerable in front of a Title Douluo.
Those two people were at best considered to be of lower-middle level among Title Douluo.
He had to use the Heavenly Dragon Annihilation Slash twice to escape from them.
If it were a peerless expert like Qian Daoliu...
Or perhaps they are the enshrined members of the Spirit Hall who are level 95 or above.
He might not even have a chance to unleash his soul skill before being instantly killed.
A trump card is a trump card precisely because it cannot be used casually. The strongest killing move has already been personally experienced by two elders of the Spirit Hall, and the information will soon be transmitted back to the Spirit Hall.
Once the enemy is on guard, he will face certain death the next time he is surrounded by Title Douluos.
Rou'er put the bottle of soul power restoration potion back into the storage soul tool.
She took a half step closer and looked at Yu Xiaoheng's tattered clothes and the torn flesh underneath.
Rou'er tore a clean strip of cloth from the hem of her dress.
She reached out and gently wiped away the blood seeping from Yu Xiaoheng's neck.
"You are badly injured." Rou'er's voice trembled.
Yu Xiaoheng did not dodge her movements.
He leaned against the moss-covered boulder and closed his eyes. His meridians throbbed with pain. Forcibly activating two 100,000-year-old soul skills in quick succession was a devastating blow to his current physical body.
If it weren't for the powerful foundation laid by the Golden Dragon Element Body Tempering Technique, he would have already exploded and died.
but……
So what?
It doesn't matter if I'm seriously injured.
Yu Xiaoheng recovered even faster, as the medicinal power of various precious herbs in his body rapidly nourished him.
If it weren't for the enormous depletion of his soul power, he could have been fully revived in an instant.
"I won't die," Yu Xiaoheng said.
Rou'er looked at his pale face, her eyes reddening.
"The entire continent is searching for us. Even the Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall have tracked us down. Where can we possibly escape to?"
Yu Xiaoheng opened his eyes.
Seeing the worry in Rou'er's eyes, Yu Xiaoheng slowly straightened up.
He stood firmly, his back straight, showing no sign of dejection.
"Even the Sunset Forest, no matter how vast, has an end. But as long as I don't fall, we won't die here."
Rou'er stood there, stunned.
She looked at the young man before her. He was clearly at his wit's end, and even standing required immense willpower.
But his tone remained firm.
Rou'er's heart suddenly started racing.
brother……
You...you're so handsome!
Just like the heroes in those folk tales!
The escape and the bloody battles along the way became dazzling medals on this young man's body.
"I'm not afraid of death." Rou'er bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with adoration and longing. "As long as I can be with you, I'd be willing to die here."
Yu Xiaoheng turned his head and looked into the dark depths of the dense forest.
He was expressionless.
But in the sea of his consciousness, things were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.
The spiritual energy left behind by our ancestors is pulsating violently.
That pulsation conveyed a very direct message.
Sacrifice.
Yu Xiaoheng understood the meaning of the ancestral spiritual power.
As long as he sacrifices the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast beside him, he can not only instantly recover from all his injuries, but also obtain a 100,000-year-old soul ring, and his soul power will surge again.
At that time, if he encounters a Title Douluo of the same level again, he won't even need to use all his trump cards to kill him.
Yu Xiaoheng chuckled to himself inwardly.
He might still have some resistance to doing this, but all his actions were paving the way for the final outcome...
Ke Rou'er is not an enemy.
She accompanied him on his escape, and just now she was carefully wiping away his blood.
Yu Xiaoheng sighed inwardly.
He really can't be cold-blooded towards the people around him.
However, his current situation truly means he has nowhere to turn.
Escaping into the Sunset Forest was not some profound strategic plan at all.
Based on a brief prior communication with his father, Yu Yuanzhen, the Heavenly Dou Empire transported a large number of ballistae and established relay stations directly on the outskirts of the forest, proceeding cautiously step by step. The Star Luo Empire blocked all retreat routes to the south.
There were also the elite troops from the Offering Hall mobilized by Qian Daoliu and his son.
The Lower Four Sects and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have formed a deadlock.
There is no place left in the world for Yu Xiaoheng to stand.
He cannot go to the Starry Sky Forest.
That's a true forbidden zone for soul beasts, hiding terrifying beings of Emperor Tian's caliber. If he went in with the identity of the Blue Lightning Sect's young master and the aura of a human, he'd be utterly annihilated.
Therefore, he could only choose Sunset Forest.
It wasn't that the plan was meticulous; we were truly out of options.
The terrain of the center of Sunset Forest appeared in Yu Xiaoheng's mind.
The eye of ice and fire.
That is also his final destination.
Thinking of that, he inevitably thought of that flower.
The red petals of love bring heartbreak.
Legend has it that only those with the most sincere and deepest emotions, who spit out a mouthful of their heart's blood, can pluck it.
Yu Xiaoheng felt that he definitely couldn't get it off.
But what about Rou'er?
Yu Xiaoheng could clearly see what she had just said and the affection in her eyes.
If Rou'er were to try, she might actually be able to pick that flower.
However, once she picked the red acacia blossom for him, her feelings for him were completely confirmed.
Should I still try to trick her? Should I still try to get my hands on her 100,000-year-old spirit ring?
There's a saying from a past life: Once, a sincere love was placed before me, but I didn't cherish it...
Yu Xiaoheng looked at his hands, which were covered in blood.
He knew... it wasn't dirty.
Blood itself is just an ordinary liquid, but as a human being, the fear of injury or death to one's own kind has gradually evolved to give blood an additional meaning.
"Walk."
