Chapter 111: Iron Elder's Appearance
Chapter 111: Iron Elder's Appearance
Within the Unstable Rift, in the Dimensional Plane, Li Qian and Chu Xiran rode on Qi Zai's back, desperately fleeing for their lives in a race against time.
Their speed had reached its peak, but the Dragon Bull behind them continued to close the distance relentlessly.
Seeing this, Li Qian realized that escape was futile, and with a wry smile, he joked, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I might not have come at all!"
When he had volunteered, he genuinely believed that with his strength and agility, even if he couldn't complete the task, he would still be able to escape unscathed.
And indeed, his initial assessment was correct; he had a good chance of getting away. But as the saying goes, man proposes, and heaven disposes.
Who would have thought that there would be a troublemaker, a hidden member of the Machinery Drought Sect, who would strike at the critical moment, forcing Li Qian to reveal his position.
Fortunately, Li Qian was determined, and without hesitation, he risked his life, using his skills to expose the opponent's hiding place. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold out until now.
But now, that hidden member of the Machinery Drought Sect was most likely dead, which meant Li Qian's maneuvering space had reached its limit.
As expected, after effortlessly killing the hidden sect member, the Dragon Bull turned its attention to Li Qian and Chu Xiran.
Seeing this, Li Qian cursed a hundred times in his heart, thinking that the sect member was a fool, harming both himself and others.
Even if they were enemies, couldn't they wait until they had both escaped the crisis before starting a fight? Now, they had both perished.
"It's a pity, but even if I regret it now, it's too late," Li Qian sighed helplessly.
He never imagined that in this world, not only were there pig teammates, but also pig opponents.
Hearing Li Qian's sigh, Chu Xiran couldn't help but show a complex expression. She felt deep regret, not for herself, but for Li Qian's misfortune.
If Li Qian hadn't volunteered and entered this Dimensional Plane to carry out such a dangerous task, with his talent, his future achievements would have been limitless.
Now, a supreme genius, especially in the field of cultivation, had yet to fully rise, and was about to fall mid-journey, which was truly regrettable.
If Li Qian were to perish, it wouldn't just be a loss for the Li family, but also for Jiangnan Province, Shazhou Beastmaster Academy, and even the entire Dongxia Federation.
At this critical moment between life and death, Chu Xiran suddenly thought of many things.
However, most of these thoughts were about Li Qian, with very few concerning herself.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Dragon Bull that had been chasing them suddenly stopped.
It turned to look at the two, and a sharp horn on its head began to gather a black aura.
The black aura intensified, becoming more concentrated, and at first glance, it seemed as if the entire horn had been dyed black.
The aura emanating from the horn was truly heart-pounding.
Just then, as Li Qian was astonished and the Dragon Bull's eyes remained silent, a strand of black aura, like a whip, shot out at lightning speed.
The target was none other than Li Qian and Chu Xiran, who were fleeing in front of them.
"It's over!" The black aura whip was awe-inspiring, instantly causing a violent energy fluctuation. Li Qian and Chu Xiran immediately noticed it.
They instinctively turned their heads to look back, and when they saw the invading black aura whip, their eyes filled with despair.
"There's nothing we can do!" Li Qian sighed helplessly to himself.
At the speed of that black aura whip, neither he nor Chu Xiran could possibly dodge it. If they were hit, the result would be unthinkable, given its terrifying power.
"Alas, I knew it. It's up to this old man to clean up your mess." As Li Qian and Chu Xiran were both at a loss, a voice suddenly rang out in their ears, sounding very abrupt and clear.
"Is that... Iron Elder's voice?!" Li Qian was startled, clearly not processing what he had heard. After a moment of realization, he was left bewildered, and a wave of joy surged within him.
He wanted to ask what was happening, but before he could, a dizzying sensation swept over them, and the next moment, Li Qian realized that he had somehow appeared on the ground.
Standing beside him were Chu Xiran, Qi Zai, and a very familiar figure—Iron Elder! Li Qian didn't know what had just happened.
He instinctively glanced in a certain direction in the sky.
In that direction, a black aura, like a gigantic blade, suddenly slashed through the air.
The black aura's momentum remained undiminished, and in the blink of an eye, it had pierced into a distant mountain peak.
A thunderous rumble filled the air.
Li Qian stared, his eyes widening as he witnessed the mountain peak, hundreds of meters tall, being sliced in two by the black aura, its upper half collapsing like a falling concrete pillar.
Such a terrifying sight unfolded before his eyes made Li Qian swallow hard.
Seeing the black aura's power, like a gigantic blade, effortlessly cutting through a mountain peak, Li Qian's spine chilled, and a wave of fear washed over him.
If it weren't for Iron Elder's timely arrival and use of Teleportation to help them change direction, he and Chu Xiran would likely have been dead by now.
"I know you have questions, but hold them for now. We're not out of danger yet!" Iron Elder waved his hand, indicating that Li Qian should remain silent.
Hearing this, Li Qian wisely chose to stay quiet.
Iron Elder was right; they were still in a dangerous situation, and danger could strike again at any moment.
Until they were out of danger, saying anything was meaningless.
Moreover, Iron Elder's unexpected appearance had temporarily saved Li Qian and Chu Xiran, but in the grand scheme of things, it didn't significantly change the situation.
Previously, outside the Dimensional Plane, the crowd had failed to inflict much damage on the Dragon Bull, and now that it was free from restraints, it was even less likely to be defeated.
Li Qian couldn't help but frown, worried that Iron Elder's appearance at this time would not only fail to save anyone but would also put himself in harm's way.
