Chapter 160 Escape from Death

Lu Xiuyuan felt a flash before his eyes, and then he was hit by Qingming's overwhelming palm force. His body was like a weightless feather, or a withered yellow leaf swept up by the wind, floating powerlessly in the air, drawing a miserable and sad arc, and then slamming hard onto the extremely hard rock.

"Bang!" With a dull thud, Lu Xiuyuan's body came into close contact with the huge rock, and a cloud of thick dust instantly erupted. The dust flew everywhere, mixed with some tiny gravels, which seemed to be endowed with life, jumping and dancing happily in the air, as if showing the world how fierce and powerful the blow just now was.

Lu Xiuyuan lay quietly on the freezing cold ground, his chest rising and falling violently, breathing heavily, the sound sounded like the last whimper of a dying autumn leaf in the bleak autumn wind. He tried to support his heavy body with his hands, but his limbs seemed to have completely lost consciousness, and he couldn't move at all no matter how hard he tried. Not only that, every time he tried to move his body, the pain that penetrated deep into his bones would surge into his heart like a tide, almost making him faint. It felt like thousands of fine needles pierced his skin all over his body at the same time, bringing waves of piercing pain.

Qingming stood quietly not far away, his deep and cold eyes were as cold as the starry night sky, without any emotion. He took steady and firm steps, gradually approaching Lu Xiuyuan, and every step he took seemed to step on Lu Xiuyuan's heart, making Lu Xiuyuan feel an unbearable huge pressure like a mountain crushing an egg.

Lu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment, and held the ground tightly with both hands, trying his best to use all his strength to support his already shaky body. The long sword in his hand flashed a cold light under the cold moonlight, as if it had become the only ray of hope left in his desperate situation.

At this moment, Qingming suddenly launched an attack without any warning! His figure suddenly became blurred, and he rushed towards Lu Xiuyuan like a gust of wind and lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Lu Xiuyuan. His attack was as fast as thunder and lightning, as fierce and fierce as a storm, and every move contained the terrifying power unique to Yuanying cultivators, as if he only wanted to tear Lu Xiuyuan into pieces.

Lu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and used all his strength to resist the fierce attack. He waved the sword in his hand and tried to launch a counterattack, but the huge impact force generated every time he clashed with Qingming made him suffer. The sword that had accompanied him for many years was also shaking violently at this moment, as if it had reached its limit and would break if he was not careful.

Facing such a powerful opponent, Lu Xiuyuan gradually felt a little powerless. His movements became slower and slower, and every swing of the sword required great effort. But despite this, his eyes were still firm, like a burning flame, revealing a belief and determination that would never yield.

In this life-and-death battle, Lu Xiuyuan knew that he could not retreat. He had to persevere, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, and he had to fight to the end. So, he endured the fatigue and pain in his body and continued to fight hard, exerting the courage and perseverance deep in his heart to the extreme.

He knew very well that this battle was a life-and-death contest between him and Qingming, and there was no way out. So he took a deep breath, gathered all his energy, and was determined to use his hidden ultimate move - the God-Slaying Technique.

At this moment, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound shook the whole area. The long sword in his hand slid across the bright moonlight like lightning, and a brilliant arc was drawn. In an instant, a dazzling sword light streaked across the sky like a meteor, tearing the entire night sky apart. This sword light gathered Lu Xiuyuan's life's strength and unwavering will, and seemed to be able to cut off all obstacles in the world.

After Qingming sensed the pressure brought by the sword light, his face changed slightly, revealing a bit of astonishment. He had never expected that in such a desperate situation, Lu Xiuyuan still had the energy to launch such a fierce attack. Then, Qingming howled angrily and tried his best to meet the sword light.

For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, the wind and clouds gathered, and the two powerful forces collided with each other, causing an earth-shaking explosion. Light shone everywhere, smoke and dust filled the air, and the surrounding space was distorted by this huge energy.

The two extremely terrifying forces collided fiercely in the air like two meteors, and instantly erupted with a deafening roar that shook the earth! It seemed as if the whole world was shaking!

Qing Ming tried his best to barely withstand the sharp sword light, but he was still shocked by its terrifying power and retreated several steps. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and there was a shallow scar on his body.

His eyes were flashing with anger and unwillingness that were difficult to conceal, but at the same time, they also revealed his deep recognition of Lu Xiuyuan's strength - this guy could actually burst out with such amazing attack power in that thrilling confrontation just now, it was truly amazing!

Qing Ming was furious at the moment. He could never have imagined that he would suffer such a huge loss at the hands of an unknown boy! The rage in his heart burned fiercely, making him a little crazy!

He let out a long roar towards the sky, and his aura suddenly surged. Like a mad tiger, he pounced towards Lu Xiuyuan again, vowing to completely defeat this tough opponent in front of him!

However, as the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes", sometimes fate likes to play tricks on people. Just when Qingming felt that he had won and was about to give Lu Xiuyuan a fatal blow, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, from afar came a cry of killing that resounded through the sky and shook the earth. The sound swept over like an overwhelming tidal wave, carrying with it endless murderous intent and pressure, causing everyone to change color!

This sound reverberated in the night sky like thunder, breaking the silence of the Dark Valley. Xu Tianyi led a large force that surged in like a tide, and their arrival seemed to inject new strength into the battle. At the same time, the frontal feint team also began to launch a fierce attack, and the monster camp was immediately plunged into unprecedented chaos.

Qing Ming's face instantly turned livid, and he realized that the situation had changed dramatically. At this moment, it was no longer wise to continue to harass Lu Xiuyuan. He had to return to the camp immediately to deal with this sudden change.

He glared at Lu Xiuyuan fiercely, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger. But the situation forced him to make a choice. Qingming resolutely turned around and led his men to quickly evacuate the battlefield and return to defend the monster camp.
