Chapter 2747 Escape_1

Xu Sheng was startled for a moment and it took him a few seconds to respond, "Doesn't like a fickle guy??"

So that was it, it seemed like Qian Renxue was jealous again, but this feeling wasn't bad at all!

On the contrary, there was even a subtle sense of enjoyment!

Perhaps it was because he had never seen her in this state before!

Seeing her reaction, Qian Renxue hurriedly explained, "Xu Sheng, what... what are you thinking? I haven't accepted you as my partner, it's just, just..."

Suddenly, Xu Sheng opened his arms and embraced her, whispering in her ear, "I understand, you're just saying that you don't like fickle men, right?"

"Mhm!"

Feeling his breath and the sound of his heartbeat, Qian Renxue's reasoning started to fade, and her thoughts became extremely chaotic...

Once again, Xu Sheng said, "So, you are actually jealous and don't want me to be with Xue Ke?"

Without even processing what he said fully, Qian Renxue subconsciously replied, "Mhm."

But quickly, she realized something and pushed Xu Sheng away forcefully...

In a fluster, she retorted, "Xu Sheng, what... what are you talking about, we don't really have that sort of relationship, how could I be jealous!"

Xu Sheng, knowing her personality, didn't continue to provoke her...

He immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm just joking, don't take it so seriously."

But just as the words left his mouth, Qian Renxue's expression inadvertently revealed a touch of disappointment...

This scene left Xu Sheng momentarily opening his mouth, unsure of what to say next...

"Women's hearts are hard to fathom, the thoughts of a young girl, even more so!"

...

As time passed, Yuanen Yehui and the others, who were recovering their Soul Power, gradually reached their peak...

Guo Xiaoxu was the first to stand up, with a solemn expression he asked, "Everyone, have you all recovered your Soul Power?"

They couldn't stay here forever, after all, the Ghost Emperor was still unresolved!

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded...

Seeing this, Guo Xiaoxu said again, "Then let's move out, we still don't know how Wulin and the others are doing!"

With that said, they quickly approached in the direction where the soul power fluctuation was spreading...

Finally, after traveling several thousand meters, they caught sight of the Ghost Emperor and his company...

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Emperor, who was a God, was completely suppressed by Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena...

He even found it exceedingly difficult to counterattack!!

Xie Xie gasped in astonishment, "Hiss... What's going on here? Wulin and Gu Yue, after absorbing the Heart of the Dragon God, are they really that powerful? They are completely dominating the Ghost Emperor."

Yuanen Yehui calmly analyzed, "It's not just a matter of increased strength, it's also due to the impeccable coordination between Gu Yue and Wulin!"

Liang Xiaoyu agreed, "Yes, but anyone else in their place, even after absorbing the Heart of the Dragon God, likely wouldn't be able to suppress the Ghost Emperor this way!"

Yue Zhengyu furrowed his brows in contemplation, "But... suppression aside, it doesn't seem so simple to actually kill the Ghost Emperor!"

Indeed, while Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena had the upper hand in the battle, there was no sign that they could kill the Ghost Emperor!!

Without that, it all seemed meaningless!

Ye Xinglan, not wanting to let the former's words demoralize the team, disagreed, "Zheng Yu, don't say that; doesn't Wulin have a Divine Artifact? If it's his head that gets pierced by that thing, I doubt even a God could survive!"

Yue Zhengyu opened his mouth but didn't say anything, then redirected his gaze towards the battlefield...

On the battlefield, Tang Wulin gripped the Sea God's Trident tightly, relentlessly attacking the Ghost Emperor and using spiritual power to send a message to Gu Yuena behind him, "Gu Yue, although we can suppress the Ghost Emperor, we still can't kill him!"

Gu Yuena's silver pupils contracted, "Yes, I know. The Divine Power of the Ghost Emperor must be running low, just hold on a little longer!"

She was waiting for an opportunity to slay the Ghost Emperor!

With this answer, Tang Wulin felt more confident, and his attacks became even fiercer…

In contrast, the Ghost Emperor, constantly suppressed by Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, was unmistakably seething with pent-up rage…

He cursed inwardly, "Damned brat, so annoying!!"

If he had known they would be so troublesome, he would have killed them at the first opportunity to prevent future problems!

However, he soon realized another issue!

That was, his Divine Power was about to be exhausted, and if he couldn't slay his opponents in time, it's very likely that those two Divine Artifacts would pose a threat!

It would be better to escape first and then find an opportunity to convert more evil Soul Masters!

By that time, these two wouldn't be able to absorb the power of the super divine weapons again, and he wouldn't even need to act to make the entire Continent succumb!!

After this thought emerged in his mind, the Ghost Emperor's gaze changed...

His entire being burst forth with a horrifying aura of blood, forcing Tang Wulin back, then his figure began to shuttle away swiftly...

Seeing that he was about to vanish from sight, Gu Yuena exclaimed, "Not good, Wulin, he's trying to escape!!"

The alerted Tang Wulin didn't hesitate to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to give chase...

If they allowed the Ghost Emperor to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable!!

But the Ghost Emperor glanced sideways at the pursuing Tang Wulin, "Kid, you're lucky this time, having absorbed the power of the super divine weapons!"

"But next time, you won't have this opportunity!"

No one could stop him from escaping if he wished to!

Sure enough, with the Ghost Emperor bursting forth at his greatest speed, Tang Wulin simply couldn't keep up...

He could only watch helplessly as the former disappeared from his field of vision...

After clenching his fists tightly, he roared, "Damn it, he actually escaped!!"

Gu Yuena teleported to his side, soothing him, "Wulin, calm down, we simply can't stop the Ghost Emperor if he wants to escape!"

Tang Wulin suppressed his rage, reluctantly saying, "But… we were so close to slaying the Ghost Emperor!"

However, Gu Yuena shook her head, "Wulin, even if the Ghost Emperor's Divine Power is exhausted, we only have a chance to slay him, there's no absolute certainty!"

"Besides, at the brink of life and death, wouldn't the Ghost Emperor go all out to drag others down with him?"

Having said that, her gaze shifted toward Yuanen Yehui and the others not far away...

Hearing this, Tang Wulin was forced to accept the outcome...

After all, even if the Ghost Emperor was weakened, taking a few people down with him would still be an easy task!

Especially when those people were his most valued comrades!

Realizing that the fight was over, Guo Xiaoxu and the others quickly approached...

Tang Wulin looked up at them, full of apologies, "Sorry, everyone, I let the Ghost Emperor escape!"

Guo Xiaoxu nodded, "Yes, we saw, but it's not your fault, Wulin. As a God, nobody can stop the Ghost Emperor if he decides to run away!"

"For now, we can only think of a way to deal with him before he reveals himself again!"

The day the Ghost Emperor reappears might be the day the Continent meets its doom, so they must be fully prepared!!
