Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Blocked Again, Dead End?
In mid-air, Jiang Xiaobai felt the whoosh of wind blowing by his ears and drowsily opened his eyes.

A stern, chilling face stared past him, making him curious. Why was this woman looking so grim? Could it be that there were many pursuers behind them?

Struggling, Jiang Xiaobai said, “Let me go! How many people are chasing us? What’s going on?”

Hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s words, Zhuang Huanling let go of him without hesitation with great repulsion, as if Jiang Xiaobai was a plague carrier.

Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled, what was going on?

“What the hell is happening? How many people are chasing us?”

Popping a healing pill in his mouth, Jiang Xiaobai chased after Zhuang Huanling and noticed that Ao Cheng and the others were quite far away from them.

Without giving it much thought, assuming that Ao Cheng had some other plans, he had no idea that they kept their distance out of fear.

Zhuang Huanling kept ignoring Jiang Xiaobai’s inquiries, which made him impatient. After a probe with his divine sense, he realized there were no pursuers behind them, which put him at ease.

Ignoring the strange behaviour this ‘madwoman’ showed, Jiang Xiaobai decided to question Ao Cheng instead, “How long was I unconscious?”

“About twenty minutes!”

“That’s not too bad. By the way.. What the hell is wrong with this crazy woman?”

At these words, Ao Cheng and Mo Yu stayed silent, not daring to look in their direction. Jiang Xiaobai, puzzled, turned to look at Zhuang Huanling.

There he saw a murderous glare fixed right on him.

Chilled by her icy stare, Jiang Xiaobai shivered, assuming the woman was having another one of her episodes.

Being pursued by the ancient tribes, the last thing he wanted was to start a conflict and bicker with this woman. It was just a headache.

“Enough with the chitchat, where are we now?”

Jiang Xiaobai asked calmly.

“We’ve traveled quite a distance. Given our speed, although we’ve been going around in circles, we’ve covered nearly a third of the journey.”

Zhuang Huanling coldly said, “Jiang Xiaobai, we’ll settle our matter after all this is over. But burning essence blood, you better not do it again.”

Just thinking about what she had done to him made her feel murderous.

It was Jiang Xiaobai’s first time and it made her, Zhuang Huanling, no different!

In a desperate situation back then, Ao Cheng was useless and Mo Yu had almost exhausted her magical power, leaving only her with some to spare.

Zhuang Huanling had no choice but to do what she could, otherwise, all would be lost.

However, Jiang Xiaobai himself didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. If anything, he felt sweetness in his mouth as if he had eaten candied fruit when he woke up.

Shaking his head, he realized that right now, the most crucial thing was to recover his magical power as fast as possible. If they were to be surrounded again in his current state, they would be done for.

But when that time comes, they could only try that one method…

Quickly, the team ran for another hour. Their injuries were yet severe, with no time to treat them, but they had managed to recover one or two percent of their magical power.

On the way, they occasionally encountered members of other forces trying to surround and intercept them, but these weaklings were easily killed by Jiang Xiaobai’s team without causing any trouble.

In their escape till now, they had encountered many masters in the Fusion stage. Unless they ran into them head-on, they would not engage in a battle. But this led to increasing numbers of pursuers from behind.

More than a hundred people were just a kilometer or two away from Jiang Xiaobai and his team. If they slackened slightly, they would be caught. The four of them did not dare to relax and were running for their lives.

Jiang Xiaobai also knew that this could not go on, so he was constantly searching for possible solutions in the points mall while on the run.

There were too many items in the mall. Of course, there were solutions to the current dilemma, but Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t afford them.

The points he had earned previously had almost been exhausted. Now, he had only over ten thousand points left, which was hardly enough to do anything.

Just as they were passing through an ice mountain and were preparing to take a detour to the left, over ten masters in the Fusion stage, all in ancient tribe attire, suddenly appeared in front of them.

As soon as they appeared, these fellows charged at Jiang Xiaobai without a word.

Jiang Xiaobai was so infuriated that he cursed, “Not again, you dogs!”

With that, the four of them engaged in a battle without hesitation.

Jiang Xiaobai had gained a deep understanding of the Nine Heavens Starlight Sword Technique. When executed, this set of sword techniques was terrifying. Now, even an early Fusion stage master was no match for him at full strength, and he could behead a mid Fusion stage master.

As for the late Fusion stage, he had yet to find out.

Obviously, these people couldn’t stop Jiang Xiaobai and his colleagues. Most of them were in the early Fusion stage, with only two in the mid Fusion stage, one of whom was instantly killed by Jiang Xiaobai because they underestimated him.

The subsequent pressure was not big. But just as Jiang Xiaobai and his team were about to flee instead of engaging in a prolonged fight, a strange fluctuation suddenly burst forth from ahead. And then, they felt like they were stuck in the mud.

Not only had their speed slowed down, but many masters from the ancient tribes also appeared in their surroundings while the ones who had been pursuing them caught up from behind.

There were more than two hundred masters in the Fusion stage. The terrifying power they possessed could be described as daunting.

Jiang Xiaobai and his colleagues were once again surrounded and trapped in a desperate situation!

Gu Heng emerged from the crowd and looked at Jiang Xiaobai with savage eyes, “This time, you really can’t escape.”

“Trash! That’s what you said last time too, and guess what? I’m still alive!” Jiang Xiaobai replied disdainfully without any hesitation.

Gu Heng felt like an overinflated balloon, on the verge of bursting at any moment!

“Good. Very good!”

“I had intended to capture you alive before but now it seems, once you fall into my hands, I won’t let you off easily.”

Gu Heng clenched his fist, gritted his teeth and sneered. With his command, the ancient tribe masters started to set up their formation.

They were not planning on giving Jiang Xiaobai any chance to escape.

“Oh? What’s the matter? Not only have you become more cautious in your speeches, you’ve even become meticulous in your actions. You’re even setting up formations now?”

Even in this desperate situation, Jiang Xiaobai still scoffed in contempt.

Gu Heng was burning with rage, his eyes emitting sparks of fury.

“Attack! Capture them alive. I’ll personally make them experience my wrath!”

At his command, over two hundred masters launched their attack, leaving no room for the four of them to catch their breath!

Under such circumstances, the countenances of the four were extremely serious.

There was no escape!

How could they escape under such a lineup? Even the sons and daughters of superpowers couldn’t escape, let alone the added support of the formation!

“Jiang Xiaobai, it has been an honor being your brother, and to accompany you in our final mad dash, I am content!”

Ao Cheng suddenly burst into laughter, as a golden light emerged from his body.

An image of a golden dragon appeared behind him, appearing like a real dragon, its overwhelming pressure rolling in like a tidal wave.
