Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 154 Escape

Chapter 154: Escape

Using a flying talisman to rush out of the city, Li An stumbled and coughed up blood.

Most of the force from the attack directed at him was blocked by Gu Hong, but a small amount still affected him.

Just this small amount of force had already severely injured him.

If it weren't for his cultivation techniques like the Life-Preserving Immortal Casting Art and the Golden Treasury Art, his robust physique, and his abundant life essence, he probably wouldn't be able to move now.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great!

"There is a teleportation array outside the city. Injecting magic power into it will activate it..."

In his spiritual sea, Li An's weak and urgent elemental spirit spoke up.

Li An forcefully suppressed the waves of pain coming from his body and quickly rushed towards the location mentioned by the elemental spirit.

At the same time, the more the pressure of life and death weighed on him like Mount Tai, the faster his mind spun!

Teleportation array!

This should be the contingency plan left by the elemental spirit?

Escaping should not be a problem, but... is it safe?

After all, the elemental spirit herself is also a member of the demonic sect!

And the destination of the teleportation, which she left as a contingency, must be her territory. After going there, wouldn't Li An be going from the tiger's den to the wolf's lair?

Countless thoughts flashed through Li An's mind!

And he had already arrived at the place mentioned by the elemental spirit.

This was a wild field right at the foot of the city wall. It was usually deserted, overgrown with weeds, and there was a dirty and smelly ditch not far away.

Without hesitation, Li An followed the directions given by the elemental spirit and struck with his palm. Dust billowed, and a circular platform made of jade stones appeared. Li An stepped onto it and infused it with power.

The jade platform immediately emitted a mysterious light, as if connecting the space between heaven and earth. Within the light, Li An's figure became distorted--

In his spiritual sea, the elemental spirit breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the teleportation array was activated, she could safely leave...

But, at this moment--

At the very last moment before Li An's figure disappeared, he forcefully jumped off the teleportation platform and landed directly in the filthy ditch dozens of meters away.

The ditch was filled with filthy substances, breeding insects and mosquitoes, with clumps of foam and three feet of thick mud.

"You!..."

Li An only heard the exclamation from the elemental spirit in his mind, and then his whole person was completely buried in the dirty and smelly ditch.

Boom!

Dozens of meters away, the aura of the teleportation array erupted completely, the light of teleportation flashed, and then the teleportation array self-destructed, exploding like a bomb in the wild field!

Under the powerful shockwave, this field was lifted up in a huge cloud of dust, with sand and rocks flying and weeds being blown away.

A one-time teleportation array, once activated, would self-destruct. Obviously, the contingency plan made by the elemental spirit was very meticulous, avoiding being traced by her enemies--

And a moment later.

As the sand and dust were still swirling in the air, the "sickly girl" had already landed lightly here.

Staring at the destroyed teleportation array, her face became extremely gloomy!

The innate demonic body was the most important part of her entire plan.

Now, it had been taken away by her younger sister...

Releasing her divine sense, she silently sensed the surroundings and the void. Li An's trace had long since disappeared, and it was impossible to trace the whereabouts of the teleportation array.

In the end, she had escaped using the teleportation array.

"I underestimated you..."

She couldn't help but sigh lightly. Although she was very unwilling in her heart, she knew that there was no plan she could execute now.

The main reason for her failure was actually her younger sister.

She didn't expect that her younger sister would leave behind so many contingencies...

Of course, Li An's strategies also played a certain role. If it weren't for Li An's meticulous calculations and planning, and if he hadn't waited for the elemental spirit to intervene, he might have been finished...

"Karma revolves, fate has been sealed, there will always be another meeting--"

She said calmly, then without hesitation, she had already returned to the ruins of the Left Mansion.

She stared at Gu Hong lying in the ruins, unconscious and barely breathing.

"There are still people you care about, right?"

She sneered, raised her hand, and infused spiritual power into Gu Hong's body.

She chose to save Gu Hong!

Not long after, she walked out of the ruins.

"Master,"

Outside the ruins, the horse-faced executioner respectfully waited, "What should we do next?"

There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Master... didn't actually obtain the innate demonic body?

That treacherous symbol master actually slipped away from the master's hands...

Truly too cunning!

"Let's first unify Da Li,"

"The frail girl" stood with her hands behind her back and said calmly, "This time, there are already enough True Dan cultivators dead in the city for you to use."

"Furthermore, I have revealed my Divine Ability. To prevent leaks, let's slaughter this city."

Her words were so light, but the horse-faced executioner couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Slaughter the city!!

...

Outside the city.

After the teleportation array exploded, the dust finally settled.

The air was as quiet as death.

Even the stinking sewer was filled with the dirt that had been blown up, and no one knew that in the dirty mud of the stinking sewer, a body had merged with the surrounding garbage and filth...

Just before the water entered, Li An swallowed a large amount of "Fasting Pill."

These pills could allow him to not eat for decades without starving to death.

At the peak of Foundation Building, even if he held his breath and didn't move, he could hold on for half a year!

"You're crazy..."

In his spiritual sea, there was still the unbelievable and frantic voice of a girl.

But Li An remained calm, as firm as iron, and directly suppressed the fluctuations in his spiritual sea, ignoring the girl's spiritual consciousness.

The reason he did this was simple!

After escaping from the dangerous situation in Tianyang City, he couldn't hand over his fate to this unknown demonic girl.

Indeed, the teleportation array could allow him to escape the risks of Tianyang City, but it could very well send him to the territory of this demonic girl.

At that time, he would still be at the mercy of others.

Moreover, after a quick analysis, he felt that he had a great chance of hiding and surviving without using the teleportation array!

Firstly, because of the physical condition of the demonic giant in the city, his spiritual consciousness was trapped and unable to perceive the situation outside the city, so he couldn't track him.

Secondly, after he entered the stinking sewer, the power of the self-destruction of the teleportation array would destroy all traces and make it impossible to tell.

Thirdly, he had the Life-Preserving Immortal Technique to conceal his aura and blend in with the rubbish in the stinking sewer, avoiding spiritual consciousness detection.

Fourthly, the teleportation array had exploded. From the perspective of the demonic giant in the city, Li An had no reason to stay behind and must have followed the teleportation array.

...

These were the reasons why Li An decided to stay!

Of course, the most crucial and important reason was that he decided to take control of his own fate!

He couldn't hand over his future and destiny to others.

Now it seemed that he had made the right bet for the time being.

The demonic giant in the city didn't discover Li An.

A deep sense of relief, accompanied by a strong sense of exhaustion, washed over him like a tide...

Li An slowly fell asleep in this cold and suffocating stinking sewer...

...

And at this moment, in Tianyang City.

A bloody massacre was taking place.

From the streets and alleys to the major forces in the royal palace, all living beings were being completely exterminated, leaving no one alive.
