Chapter 107: Why Save Face? Life Is More Important
Su Nü's current appearance, even though he was previously excited to the point of losing himself, had now calmed down with trembling body.
The key was Su Nü's greenish eyes staring at him. Even though there were many people in front of him, Yan Qi couldn't help but swallow hard.
Su Nü's eyes emitting green light were truly frightening. The large disk on her back, resembling a gray moon, continuously released gray smoke all around.
The smoke was dense, like dry ice being sprayed out. Soon, it enveloped the entire scene, making it hazy.
Yan Qi suddenly realized that he might have been too aggressive just now and caught Su Nü's attention.
He really wanted to slap himself for being so cocky.
Right now, escaping for his life was the priority. But before fleeing, Yan Qi shouted loudly, "Let's all hold her back together. She's on the verge of collapse. Look at how sluggish she is. Her technique will soon be interrupted."
All show and no substance.
He said these words almost jumping with excitement.
However, no matter how you looked at him, he was shouting aggressively with his mouth, but his body kept retreating further and further. Meanwhile, the young people from Red City, incited by him, were eagerly rushing towards Su Nü.
Su Nü was now hunched over by the large disk on her back, panting heavily like a bellows. Clearly, she was at her limit.
Su Nü's movements were extremely slow. Then, she punched towards the people rushing at her from Red City.
"Bang." Like a cannonball, the incoming people were blasted away, scraping against the air with a piercing sound before falling to the ground, carving out a trench of over ten meters before coming to a stop.
"Wah." Blood spurted out, bodies covered in bloodstains, countless bones broken, unable to get up.
Yan Qi swallowed hard, unable to care about anything else, turned around, and ran, disappearing into the surrounding gray mist, where no one could be seen. This area had long been shrouded in gray mist.
Yan Qi was in a position behind all the people from Red City, so no one from Red City saw him turn and run.
But Su Nü didn't seem to be in a hurry to chase after him. Instead, she moved slowly, step by step, in the direction Yan Qi had fled.
Meanwhile, the young people from Red City were rushing towards Su Nü one by one. Su Nü's use of such a powerful technique would definitely consume a lot of her bloodline power with each attack. As long as her bloodline power was exhausted, the technique would naturally be lifted.
"Boom." Still moving forward with that slow pace, Su Nü punched one by one towards the people blocking her path, each punch like a shot, including the young Prodigies, all met the same fate.
However, the young Prodigies could still barely stand up and launch another attack, but the others had already been blasted to the ground, their fates unknown.
Su Nü's goal was simple: kill the young man from the water Tribe who had jumped the most aggressively just now. Anyone who stood in her way would be blasted away with a punch.
This showed that she still had some sanity. Otherwise, the ordinary young people from Red City wouldn't be able to withstand a punch from her in this state.
Su Nü's eyes, glowing green amidst the gray mist, seemed to have a special property. They were not blocked by the gray mist and served as a clear target. Even though the visibility in the mist was decreasing, the people from Red City could still find her.
In the gray mist, the young people from Red City, charging one after another towards the green light, were then sent flying backward, with numerous casualties.
Meanwhile, Yan Qi was running desperately, occasionally looking back at the green light behind him. He had really messed up this time; he was actually being targeted as an attack.
But Yan Qi furrowed his brows. How long had he been running? Why was he still within the range of the gray mist? And... his physical strength was decreasing at an incredible speed.
Behind him, Su Nü followed slowly, step by step. Just like the Empress Changxi in ancient times, who slaughtered an entire large Tribe using this technique, those people of the large Tribe didn't try to escape out of fear, did they?
They did, but they couldn't escape the range of the gray mist.
Changxi was like this, slowly advancing step by step, killing for ten days and nights, wiping out the entire Tribe.
Her current strength was definitely not comparable to that of the Empress Changxi in ancient times, and the range of the gray mist couldn't cover such a large area, but what she had now was enough.
Yan Qi stopped, seemingly realizing the situation. No matter how he ran, it seemed that he couldn't leave this place.
"Am I running in circles in the mist?" Yan Qi muttered to himself, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. If he continued like this, even if Su Nü's speed was slow and even if the people from Red City delayed a while longer, he would eventually be caught up.
What to do? If he hadn't attracted Su Nü's attention by showing off, he could have pretended to be dead on the ground, but now Su Nü's target was obviously him, and pretending to be dead probably wouldn't work.
Yan Qi gritted his teeth, not caring about anything else. The face of an young Prodigie wasn't worth much.
Then, with a thud, he fell to the ground, closed his eyes, and crawled forward like a caterpillar, regardless of whether he felt there was a river, a mountain, or anything else ahead. Even if he felt that ahead was certain death, he didn't care, he just kept crawling forward. He didn't even care about the false information coming from his brain telling him to crawl back.
Because he had just been running based on his eyes and feelings, but he hadn't run out even after running for a long time.
Only by shutting down any sensation, ignoring any direction and external stimuli from sensation, could he possibly crawl out.
Behind him, Su Nü's green light eyes glanced at Yan Qi crawling through the gray mist, and her brows couldn't help but furrow. Sometimes the stupidest method turned out to be effective.
But did this guy from the water Tribe of Red City have no shame? He was the one who was shouting the loudest just now, but now he actually abandoned his Tribe and ran away without looking back.
Look at the other people from Red City, each and every one of them fearlessly rushing towards her.
In fact, this was because the gray mist blocked the vision of the people from Red City, preventing them from seeing the pathetic sight of their companions crawling and unable to get up. Plus, the only thing they could see now was the green light in Su Nü's eyes, so they had only one target, hence their relentless charge.
Because they had agreed to consume Su Nü's bloodline power together, making it impossible for her to sustain the technique.
If they saw the miserable state of the others, they probably wouldn't dare to charge forward so relentlessly.
Su Nü didn't even know how many people she had crippled, and even the young Prodigies, who were crawling up one after another from behind, were becoming more and more uncontrollable. She didn't even know how many people she had killed.
And so what if she killed them? They were the ones who came to stop her without regard for their lives.
Su Nü also quickened her pace because that shameless guy was actually crawling further away.
And these relentless people from Red City were not entirely useless. Every punch Su Nü threw, every moment they delayed, exacerbated the consumption of her bloodline power.
She was not like the ancient Empress Changxi, who could maintain this technique and fight for ten days and nights.
The path Su Nü was walking now could be described as a bloody one. Her fists were already dripping with fresh blood, all from the people of Red City.
The people of Red City were becoming more and more confused. Wasn't it said that Su Nü wouldn't last long? Why hadn't the technique been lifted yet?
Now, because they were in the gray mist, their senses were confused, their bodies weak, and they had no idea how long had passed.
Yan Qi was the same. He didn't know how long he had been crawling, but he knew that if he was caught, he was doomed. He had to crawl out even if it meant risking his life.
Outside the gray mist, Zhi, Little Pi Mao, and Chang Kong Jun were peering into the mist, "What is this thing? It looks eerie. Definitely not something good."
"It seems like there's fighting inside, but unfortunately we can't see through it."
The three of them, since they were more familiar with each other, had come together after entering. They had originally planned to attack the mountain, but they found that the mountain was guarded by young Prodigies, so they had to wander around to see if there were any lone people from Red City.
Surprisingly, their cooperation knocked out several people from Red City.
And then they wandered here and started to study the vast area covered by the gray mist.
Just as they were talking, suddenly a trembling hand crawled out of the gray mist, followed by a head.
The three little guys were startled, but when they saw that it was someone from Red City, they raised their stone spears and started hitting him on the head.
"Hit him, hit him."
"I'll stab him."
"Nail his hand to the ground."
Very brutal.
Yan Qi felt a pain in his forehead, and when he opened his eyes, he saw three little guys lifting stone spears and jumping up and down, hitting him on the head as if playing ball.
"Don't hit me, it's me." Yan Qi's head was buzzing from the hits, and he quickly said.
"Who are you? You bad person from Red City, there's no mercy for you. We have no emotions."
"Hit him, hit him, don't let him get up."
Yan Qi: "..."
His face changed rapidly, turning into a colorful mask.
The three excited little guys, Zhi suddenly stopped, "Wait a minute, why does he look a bit like Yan Qi from our school?"
Little Pi Mao and Chang Kong Jun, who were shouting slogans and couldn't stop hitting, paused: "..."
Yan Qi: "..."
Weird.
But now was not the time to talk about this. Yan Qi said, "Quick, pull me out."
The three little guys then began to pull him in a hurry, "Why do you have to have the face of someone else? And of all people, you had to have the face of someone from Red City."
"Just now we were about to stab someone."
"But, you're an young Prodigy, how come you look so miserable?"
"Look at your swollen face, you can barely walk straight, do you even care about your dignity if this gets out?"
Yan Qi: "..."
Who punched him in the face? And they dare to talk about dignity.
As for dignity? Those young Prodigies inside have even less dignity now. They don't even know what they look like after being beaten. At least he managed to escape, although the method was a bit...
Yan Qi said, "Hurry up and help me leave, Su Nü has been chasing me all the way."
Wait, chased by Su... Su Nü? The behavior of that crazy woman is now known to everyone.
The three little guys were originally going to make fun of Yan Qi, but upon hearing this, they grabbed him and ran.
"Yan Qi, you're really lucky."
Indeed, he narrowly escaped a disaster.
As they ran, the gray area behind them began to move towards them.
Yan Qi's eyes narrowed. Sure enough, he was the target.
Zhi, Little Pi Mao, and Chang Kong Jun ran as if their buttocks were on fire, even Yan Qi, who was being played by that crazy woman, had to rely on their support to walk. If they were caught, it would be even worse.
Hurry up and run.
The gray area began to move, relentlessly pursuing them, revealing the original battlefield.
A straight path, a path formed by coagulated blood, this was the path Su Nü walked out of amid the relentless obstruction from Red City.
There were people lying everywhere, clutching their bodies in pain, some with bodies caved in.
Grim.
Red City paid such a heavy price, but it wasn't entirely in vain.
The gray mist dissipated. In order to sustain the technique, Su Nü had to retract these gray mists and let them return to the huge disc on her back.
On the wilderness, a woman with a twisted body, covered in blood, carrying a gray disc on her back, was chasing three children and a young man.
Su Nü's speed wasn't fast, but Zhi and Little Pi Mao, carrying the exhausted Yan Qi, were even slower.
