Above all spirits

Chapter 253 Take action

Yu Mo did not take this opportunity to escape, but instead grabbed Shi Hao's arm. Although his hand was much thinner than Shi Hao's strong arm, his tone was not weak at all.

This was also the first time he had spoken in this team.

"Let's go together!"

Shi Hao's eyes were somewhat resolute as he spoke.

"Yu Mo, don't be sentimental at a time like this! If we all try to escape together, none of us will get away!"

"You're the one among us with the best chance of leaving!"

"It's not far off!"

"You go first!"

"Someone has to stay behind to hold off these people and the rockfall!"

"quick!"

As the middle-aged man approached, his eyes gradually turned cold. If someone on the other side was truly so righteous as to self-destruct or fight to the death here, even if that person was just an ordinary peak Saint Body cultivator, causing a spatial collapse would hold them back for a while, which would be very disadvantageous for them.

His original plan was to lightly injure all four of them, slowing them down so that he could overtake them and force them to find a way out of the impending doom of the rockfall. Although it was almost impossible, even the worst of the four peak Saint Body cultivators could hold them off for a few breaths.

The middle-aged man, who was used to the deceit and intrigue here, was obviously somewhat surprised by this.

"None of you will escape!"

"Burning Sword!"

"cut!"

As he spoke, he drew his sword again, diverting some of his strength to unleash three sword strikes in succession.

Each sword aura surged with crimson energy, like a burning flame.

However, this is merely an evolution of the power of living beings, not true elemental power.

Amidst the crimson hues, faint yellow streaks could be seen, a necessary stage in advancing to the innate Qi realm.

The middle-aged man was still some distance away from Shi Hao and his group, so he could only use ranged attacks for now.

Shi Hao and Yu Mo's expressions changed instantly. These three sword energies were clearly different from the previous one; this was the true power of a half-step innate being.

"Get out of the way!"

Shi Hao let out a low roar. He was already determined to die, so he naturally didn't hesitate. His reaction was also one step ahead of others. He suddenly swung his arm, and a blood-red energy burst out, spreading a force field.

He was prepared to withstand the three extremely oppressive sword energies alone.

Yu Mo gritted his teeth, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. Without further hesitation, he swiftly formed hand seals, and a blue light surged from his body, rapidly expanding to form a semi-circular light screen that blocked the two of them.

"Brother Hao, we've come this far together. Though we're not blood brothers, our bond is stronger than that of blood brothers!"

"If you die, I will never live alone!"

"Come on! Let's all die!"

"boom--!"

The crimson sword energy struck the blue light screen without restraint, causing violent tremors.

However, Yu Mo was not good at defense, so how could he block a sword aura that exceeded his strength?

No surprises.

The surface of the light screen flickered with broken light, and Yu Mo's hands trembled slightly, but she still persevered.

A hint of sadness and emotion flashed in Shi Hao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

"it is good!"

"Brother Gu, you should go first!"

"We two will surely journey with them to the other side!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Saintly Qi within Shi Hao's body rapidly circulated, and he clenched his fists tightly, preparing to defend and counterattack the moment the blue light screen shattered.

"Whoosh!"

"boom--!"

To everyone's surprise, a white sword light flashed past in everyone's sight, easily tearing the blue light barrier apart like paper, and shattering the three blood-red sword energies that Shi Hao and Yu Mo found almost impossible to resist.

Almost simultaneously, a dark figure appeared before them. In stark contrast to the surrounding darkness was the white longsword with specks of gold gleaming in the right hand of the figure.

"It's him!?"

Yu Mo was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

"Brother Gu?"

Shi Hao was also lost in thought for a moment, and tried to confirm.

Gu Yun spoke softly, his tone indifferent, as if he were recounting something perfectly normal.

"Leave this to me. You two take Xiao Li and leave first. I'll be there shortly."

"Don't worry, I don't even consider a half-step Xiantian cultivator a threat."

"The rockfall...cannot kill me."

Shi Hao was about to respond when he was silenced by Gu Yun's suddenly surging aura.

Golden energy swirled rapidly around the dark figure, and almost instantly, Gu Yun seemed to transform into a being on another level.

It makes people feel unattainable.

Shi Hao and Yu Mo exchanged a glance, both looking surprised and shocked.

Gu Yun's appearance and the power he is now displaying have undoubtedly changed the situation that was about to drive everyone into a desperate situation.

"innate..."

Before Shi Hao could finish speaking, Gu Yun turned around, waved to them, and repeated himself, this time with an air of unquestionable authority.

"Take Xiao Li and let's go first."

A complex emotion flashed in Yu Mo's eyes, but in the end she didn't say anything more and nodded to express her gratitude.

Shi Hao took a deep breath and nodded as well, a look of gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you, we will definitely protect Brother Xiao!"

"Brother Xiao! Stay close to me!"

Gu Yun watched the three people disappear into the distance at high speed, smiled faintly, then a chill crept over him as he turned and slowly walked towards the direction where the middle-aged man had been.

The reason is simple: it's just to please me.

He found Shi Hao and Yu Mo pleasing to the eye; it was that simple.

Let's lend a hand if we can.

Gu Yunming appeared to be in the void, yet it was as if he were standing on solid ground. Every step he took was firm and carried an undeniable pressure, and the entire space seemed to tremble with each step.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man who was half-step into the Innate Realm suddenly changed his expression and stopped in his tracks, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

Pseudo-innate?!

How can it be? !

Until just now, he still thought Gu Yun was just an ordinary peak Saint Body expert.

Not only him, but the man and woman behind him also showed fear on their faces, and their whole bodies began to tremble slightly.

After all, as peak Saint Body cultivators, they knew very well that the only thing that could make them want to kneel down and beg for mercy was a pseudo-innate realm. There was only one realm above them: a half-step innate realm, which was merely a peak Saint Body cultivator with innate intent. Although equally powerful, it would not create such a sense of disparity.

After confirming the situation several times, the middle-aged man had no choice but to clasp his hands in a fist and bow his head. This sudden reversal of offense and defense made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit. The more arrogant he was before, the more cowardly he was now.

There's no way around it; the difference between a half-step innate and an innate person is significant.

"Senior, I was blind and offended you. I hope you will forgive my rudeness. I swear I will never attack your team again. We are just trying to survive."
