Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 383 - 382 Breakout
The flying sword viciously stabbed into Qian Wangsun's chest, piercing out from his back, bringing up a large swath of fresh blood.
Song Zhen and the others watched this scene with surprise and anger, but due to the suppression by the Xuan female, they couldn't even stand up.
Qian Wangsun clenched the flying sword in his chest, their faces nearly touching, as if they could both see themselves reflected in each other's pupils.
Zhou Bai, "Qian Wangsun, I'll return this sword to you now, we are completely done with each other."
Qian Wangsun opened his mouth, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out directly, "Zhou Bai, next time we meet, I will definitely kill you."
Zhou Bai snorted coldly, pulled out the flying sword, and left without looking back, seemingly determined to sever his past completely, "Release them from their constraints."
Only then did the Xuan female release the suppression on several cultivators, who rushed up to support Qian Wangsun, their eyes shifting from anger to hatred as they looked towards Zhou Bai.
Qing Cao stepped forward, immediately applying Taoist techniques to stop Qian Wangsun's bleeding, heal his wound, treat his internal bleeding…
Snow Leopard held back the others who seemed intent on attacking, "Let's go, leave immediately!" They had to escape safely from this place and quickly send the intelligence to West Mountain City.
Watching their retreating figures, the Xuan female came up behind Zhou Bai, sensing a trace of solitude and desolation in him.
The Xuan female stepped forward, her snake tail slowly swinging, her slender arms already wrapping around Zhou Bai, "Don't mind them, Zhou Bai, I will always be with you. Humans are just passersby in our lives after all."
Zhou Bai nodded his head, "I understand."
The Xuan female's gaze swept over Zhou Bai's flying sword, gently touching a notch on it, "Your flying sword is damaged, would you like me to repair it? The Heavenly Demon's craftsmanship is quite decent."
Zhou Bai, "Sure, from now on I'll have the Heavenly Demon repair my flying swords anyway."
Yun Long next to him stared at the notch on the flying sword, emitting a series of low growls.
The Xuan female looked at the half-metal, half-flesh Yun Long, and said through the communications network, 'Alright, Yun Long, Zhou Bai is our family, don't doubt him, he will understand who truly deserves his trust.'
'As for the things that Zhou Bai didn't handle well, I will take care of them for him.'
...
On the other side, after Qian Wangsun and the others were freed from the poison and constraints, they fled outside at the fastest speed.
They burst out of the base, escaped from the Heavenly Demon's forbidden area, and headed towards West Mountain City.
Qian Wangsun continuously used his Primordial Spirit's power to scan the inside of his body, finding a tiny piece of metal lodged in his chest cavity.
When the Primordial Spirit's power swept over the metal fragment, densely packed text could immediately be seen on it.
Qian Wangsun thought, 'Is this the information Zhou Bai gave me? It must be delivered to West Mountain City.'
Qing Cao walked beside Qian Wangsun, consistently supporting him with Primordial Spirit power, "Your wound wasn't fatal, Zhou Bai must have done it on purpose, and he…"
"Let's talk when we get back, it's not safe here." Qian Wangsun shook his head, then suddenly his gaze sharpened, "We're being pursued! Thirty degrees to the northeast."

Qin Tian solemnly said, "These Heavenly Demons, they clearly never intended to let us go."
Liu Ruonan activated her Primordial Spirit power, heading in the direction Qian Wangsun identified, "I'll hold them off, you go!"
Song Zhen shouted, "What are you doing! Come back!"
Liu Ruonan turned around, patted his disabled leg, and said, "I'm already a cripple. Song Zhen, take care of yourself, and don't judge men by their looks alone in the future."
Watching Liu Ruonan's receding figure, everyone fell into silence for a moment, then six seconds later, a mass of Heavenly Demons burst from the ground in the direction Liu Ruonan had gone, and explosions and roars instantly filled the world.
Everyone had no time to think more; they already rushed out in another direction.
Following Qian Wangsun's preemptive senses, the squad avoided every one of the Heavenly Demon's ambushes, and some cultivators even took the initiative to rush out, helping them to buy time.
In the blink of an eye, the team of more than ten people was reduced by half. Their faces were filled with grief, but they could only suppress the sorrow in their hearts and put forth all their strength to keep moving.
At that moment, Qian Wangsun's expression suddenly changed greatly, "Ambush! They're everywhere!"
Clearly, the Heavenly Demons had noticed the squad's similar foreknowledge ability and set up a widespread encirclement in advance.
The sixth realm sword diagram, the martial arts adept Snow Leopard, charged out, "Break through!"
After the squad broke through one layer of the encirclement, Snow Leopard stopped, "I'll hold them back."
Qian Wangsun touched his chest, planning to take out a fragment, and said, "You're the strongest. I'll give the intelligence to you. When you go back, you must deliver it to Principal Zhao Shouyi..."
Snow Leopard shook his head, "They won't be stopped if you stay. And if I go to Principal Zhao and the others, they won't trust me, but they trust you. So I'll stay; you go."
Qing Cao, who also came from the Sky Flipping Sect like Snow Leopard, endured the sorrow in her heart and said calmly, "Snow Leopard is right, he stays to block the pursuit of the Heavenly Demons."
A moment later, having moved several kilometers away from Snow Leopard, Qian Wangsun abruptly looked back, only to see a golden Primordial Spirit Light shooting up into the sky. The surging air wave, centered on the golden light, radiated in all directions, stirring up a sky full of dust.
"Primordial Spirit self-detonation." Qian Wangsun bit his teeth, "We have to move fast, we can't let their sacrifice be in vain."
...
Meanwhile, as Qian Wangsun and the others were released, there was also a disturbance among the Heavenly Demons outside the city.
'The Mysterious Lady has actually released those humans.'
'It's bad enough that she released them, but the subsequent pursuit also failed to stop the humans from escaping.'
'They now know some information about the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone and the Mysterious Lady. Once they return to West Mountain City, it will be disadvantageous for our strategy.'
'This Mysterious Lady is getting more and more presumptuous!'
'There's no choice. Without her to suppress the aberrant kind, the aberrant weapons of the Heavenly Court would be troublesome, and we wouldn't be able to mobilize like we are now.'
At the same time, in West Mountain City, some cultivators were specifically responsible for monitoring the activities of the Heavenly Demons in the distance.
"The Heavenly Demons are on the move."
"Report it quickly."
"Are they going to attack?"
...
Inside the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone, Zhou Bai looked at the vacant spot on his flying sword and thought to himself, 'I hope Qian Wangsun and the others can make it. If they fail, it will all be up to me.'
Christina trembled nonstop and said, "I'm so nervous!"
Zhou Bai consoled her, "Don't be nervous, it's okay, everything will go smoothly. Haven't we figured it all out these last few days?"
"The Heavenly Demons are attacking West Mountain City mainly because they were incited by the Mysterious Lady. The reason they dare to initiate all-out war is because the Mysterious Lady's presence can suppress the aberrant individuals, giving the Heavenly Demons a way to counter the aberrant weapons of Heavenly Court and the last few half-aberrant cultivators of the Four Great Taoist Schools."
"As long as we can stop the Mysterious Lady, we can halt this war. Given the Heavenly Demons' fear of aberrant weapons, they won't continue taking the risk of engaging in an all-out war with humans."
Hearing Zhou Bai's summary, Christina sighed, "I hope so."
