Chapter 267

Everybody rushed forward. Behind them, a blood-curdling scream of a cultivator could occasionally be heard.

Almost none of the cultivators had prepared enough pills and their spirit power had long been completely consumed in their hurry to escape.

At such a critical time, if they were to slow down even a bit, it'd be the end.

Everybody's hearts were filled with dread, afraid that they would be the ones to fall.

But even as Baili Hongzhaung and the rest ran with all their strength, the horde of demonic beasts only got closer and closer.

Rumble!

A huge sound echoed. Suddenly, the demonic beast tide was only a few hundred away and was approaching at a terrifying speed.

They were done for!

That thought appeared in everybody's minds. Under the tide of demonic beasts, there was simply nowhere to hide.

But at this moment, Baili Hongzhuang and the rest suddenly came upon two paths.

"Take the left road!"

Gong Shaoqing immediately chose a direction. A mountain peak was in the middle of the two paths. Not even a demonic beast tide could stomp a mountain flat!

There was a secret cave on the left road. If they could hide in the cave, they might be able to survive!

Gong Shaoqing pulled Liu Qinyue's hand, quickly running to the left road.

The other cultivators had long lost their own judgment so when they heard Gong Shaoqing's words, they all immediately ran to the left path as well.

If the demonic beasts could be said to have gone from slow to fast, seeing the cultivators in front of them scramble around like chickens, their speed grew even faster.

The distance instantly closed by several tens of meters. Now, all the cultivators could clearly sense the demonic beasts' breath behind their backs!

Dongfang Yu reached out his hand, trying to pull Baili Hongzhuang back. But because of all the brambles and trees they had to evade while escaping, the distance between them had grown a bit wide.

Right now, Baili Hongzhuang was very close to going on the right road. In her current circumstances, there was no way for her to change paths alone.

Because if she slowed down even a bit, the only thing left was death!

Baili Hongzhaung also reached out her hand. The only way to get to the left road was by accepting Dongfang Yu's help.

But the other cultivators were running as if they were mad, separating Dongfang Yu and Baili Hongzhaung's outstretched hands!

"Baili Hongzhaung!"

Dongfang Yu's handsome face was pale. They had missed their only opportunity...

Missing it would separate them in a way made them no different from the separate entities of Yin and Yang.

"Damn!" Baili Hongzhaung ground her teeth. This group of cultivators was just too hateful!

Now the situation was already irreversible. She could only continue on the right road!

After reaching the crossroad, the demonic beast tide split up into two groups and continued to give chase.

"Master, it's dangerous." Little Black's face was serious. There was only a bit more than 5 meters between them and the terrifying demonic beast tide!

At this point, even they didn't know what to do.

"Is there really no way?"

Her beautiful, delicate face was unwilling and helpless. She absolutely could not accept this kind of death!

"There's a cliff ahead." Little White suddenly spoke.

Hearing that, Baili Hongzhuang's phoenix eyes sharpened as her heart slowly came to a decision.

Since she would die anyway, it was better to run to the cliff and jump than be trampled underfoot by the demonic beasts.
