CHAPTER 253: This Shouldn’t Be Happening…
Although four of the opponents had already died and the remaining ones were injured, their combat strength still far exceeded that of Chu Yang's side! The most important point was that Chu Yang's identity must not be exposed, and he absolutely could not die!
However, even if they ultimately managed to win the battle, they would at least have to sacrifice two or three lives!
Therefore, in that moment, Meng Chaoran made a decision: scare the opponents away first!
Even though the opponents had attacked Sky Tower and had a deep-seated hatred towards him, the most important thing was to preserve their lives.
Meng Chaoran's calmness played its best role at this moment!
The four opponents were indeed already filled with fear: the two leaders were dead, and the remaining ones were all injured. The current situation was clear: if they continued fighting, there was only one way out: mutual destruction!
“Retreat!” The female martial sovereign glared hatefully at Meng Chaoran and the others, angrily waved her hand, not even bothering to collect the bodies of her fallen companions, and turned to leave.
Meng Chaoran said淡淡：“Please go back and inform Fifth Minister... Today’s debt will be recorded by Sky Tower!”
The female martial sovereign coldly snorted and did not reply. In an instant, the four of them vanished into the swirling snow. Only five people remained on this bloody battlefield.
As Meng Chaoran watched their figures disappear, his legs finally gave way, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, managing to say, “Chu Yang, immediately! Go to the cliff…”
And then he fainted, his face like gold paper, breathing weakly.
“Chu Yang? You are Chu Yang?” Wu Yunliang’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the white-haired, white-browed figure.
“I am Chu Yang. Master Uncle, I’m glad to see you well.” Chu Yang held his abdomen with one hand, tore a strip of cloth from his collar, and tightly wrapped his wound.
“So it really is you…” Wu Yunliang exhaled deeply, collapsing to the ground and with difficulty smiling, “Let’s do as your master said, we’re running out of time…”
Gu Duxing staggered over, coughing, “Ninth-grade martial sovereign… really strong!” He had been holding on but was indeed seriously injured.
While Meng Chaoran and the others had been exhausted from fierce battles, Chu Yang and Gu Duxing had also traveled a long way, trying to arrive as quickly as possible. Being able to achieve such results was already the best outcome…
After guiding Chu Yang and Gu Duxing to the hidden cave, Wu Yunliang completely relaxed and fainted immediately.
This cave was buried under layers of snow, and the heavy snow continued to fall from the sky. The footprints of the group vanished in an instant.
Not long after they left, several martial sovereigns from the Golden Horse Knights Hall arrived with a large group of people, but of course, they found nothing. These people were the ones from Divine Blade Pavilion and Black Blood Alliance who had attacked Sky Tower…
It turned out they had planned this: to retreat for the time being and then come back with reinforcements immediately. In their view, these people were all seriously injured; even if they managed to escape… how far could they get? Little did they know that in such a short time, they had already vanished like the wind!
After searching for a long time without any discoveries, they could only regrettably withdraw.
Under the snow layer, in the cave.
Meng Chaoran and the other three had been unconscious for two days and nights. Chu Yang made each of them drink a bottle of vitality spring water; their lives were no longer in danger, but they had lost too much blood, especially their spirits were severely drained, and their physical strength had reached its limit. These would take time to recuperate.
As for Gu Duxing, after the injury from that palm strike, he had only managed to expel the congealed blood in these two days. As for Chu Yang, his abdomen would recover a bit faster, but the Sword Spirit had complained about him for quite a while.
