I Can Devour Spirits

Chapter 368: Chapter 302: Survive

At this moment, inside the ruined temple, there were three mangled corpses and one dried corpse, bizarre and terrifying.

Fan Yuanhai’s body had already withered to an ashen-brown color, the skin like decayed cotton, with blood threads squirming densely like worms...

Duan Rong felt a wave of nausea in his heart. Suppressing it, he turned and walked out of the ruined temple.

Ah Mo and Fan Yuanhai had both been here one after the other. It seemed that the remnants of the Filthy Blood Sect nearby had been wiped out, and he should go to regroup with them. Moreover, Duan Rong was still worried about the lives of Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan.

This great melee was incredibly cruel and bloody, and even surviving had been a struggle for him. He truly could not be sure if Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan were still alive...

On the main road, Zhu Qunxiang, Lu Qingfeng, and Wang Shanshan were besieging Dang Haihong and Xiao Nan.

Although they were three against two, Dang Haihong and Xiao Nan were protected by the Filthy Blood Divine Skill, with dense blood threads floating and wriggling around them, vaguely overwhelming the three of them.

Just when the three were struggling to hold on, suddenly, Dang Haihong and Xiao Nan retreated violently and dashed into the wilds beside the road, fleeing...

Zhu Qunxiang was sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He felt somewhat bewildered. Those two were clearly in the advantageous position, so why did they suddenly retreat?

But at this moment, from the corner of his eye, he noticed a silhouette behind him.

Zhu Qunxiang turned his head and saw Lv Qingzhu and Ah Mo standing silently by the roadside not far away.

It was clearly Ah Mo who scared off Dang Haihong and Xiao Nan.

The scene where Ah Mo fiercely killed Yu Lieting was not long ago.

Yu Lieting’s corpse with a ruined head was still slumped not far away.

Seeing Ah Mo return again, with another person by his side, how could Dang Haihong and Xiao Nan dare to linger in battle?

Zhu Qunxiang, Lu Qingfeng, Wang Shanshan had all consumed a huge amount of energy, their dantian nearly exhausted. If Ah Mo and Lv Qingzhu had come a bit later, they might have died.

Lu Qingfeng and Wang Shanshan were drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, with a hint of lingering fear in their eyes.

The three of them looked gratefully at Lv Qingzhu and Ah Mo. Although the two just stood there silently, seemingly with no intention to help,

Ah Mo’s sheer size like a mountain of flesh and his cruel, bloody methods were enough to intimidate the enemy just by standing silently behind them.

Seeing the enemies retreat and Ah Mo and Lv Qingzhu standing there, the three immediately sat cross-legged by the road to adjust their breath. Their dantian was almost exhausted, and if they didn’t immediately adjust their breathing, it could easily damage their dantian.

Lv Qingzhu’s dantian was originally also depleted, but the pill given to her by Duan Rong clearly had the effect of nourishing the dantian. Now she felt a cool sensation in her dantian, not needing to exert any effort to adjust her breath.

Zhu Qunxiang, Lu Qingfeng, and Wang Shanshan, after recuperating for a while by the roadside, found their dantian no longer faintly aching, and stood up.

At this moment, they saw Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan walking out from a dense forest beside the main road.

As soon as the two emerged from the forest, they saw a few figures on the road from afar. The distance was a bit far, and although they couldn’t see clearly, they could vaguely make out Zhu Qunxiang, Lu Qingfeng, and Wang Shanshan. And Ah Mo, with his small mountain of flesh, was visible from afar.

Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan walked towards them slowly.

Seeing them, Zhu Qunxiang felt somewhat relieved. The battle was so perilous, he thought all these registered disciples would be dead by now. Unexpectedly, some were still alive.

As Sect Envoys, they had a duty to protect these registered disciples.

Although this encounter was ambushed by the Filthy Blood Sect and had its reasons, if the Sect Envoys retreated safely while these registered disciples all died,

it would inevitably lead to speculation.

Now, with Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan still alive, they could account for it.

As for Fan Yuanhai, Zhu Qunxiang hadn’t seen him at all, assuming he hadn’t arrived yet.

In fact, if it weren’t for Ah Mo sweeping through the forest to find Lv Qingzhu, Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan might not have escaped their fate.

Zhu Qunxiang looked at the two and said, "Just you two? Have you seen anyone else?"

Xiao Yu shook her head, saying nothing. She and Ximen Kankan had seen no sign of Duan Rong along the way.

Zhu Qunxiang sighed slightly. Having two survive was already fortunate.

Xiao Yu looked at Zhu Qunxiang and asked, "Have you seen Duan Rong?"

Zhu Qunxiang knew that Xiao Yu and Duan Rong were both from Yuan Shun Escort Agency, so he replied, "No, we haven’t seen him."

At this moment, Lu Qingfeng, standing behind Zhu Qunxiang, let out a deep sigh and said sorrowfully, "We haven’t seen anyone yet. I’m afraid he might have already fallen victim..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s eyes immediately reddened.

Ximen Kankan glared at Lu Qingfeng with his small eyes.

Just then, a silhouette suddenly emerged from the edge of the forest on the other side of the road.

The person staggered towards them.

From afar, Xiao Yu immediately recognized Duan Rong.

Ximen Kankan said, "It’s Duan Rong."

"Hmm."

Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan were overjoyed and quickly went to meet Duan Rong.

As soon as Duan Rong emerged from the forest, he saw two figures rushing towards him from the road; they were none other than Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan.

The three of them had undergone life and death trials, and now seeing each other felt like a reunion after reincarnation.

Ximen Kankan leaped up, punched Duan Rong, and laughed, "I knew it, you’re not so easily killed!"

Suddenly, Duan Rong stood between Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan, spreading his arms to hug them both on their shoulders, said emotionally with a smile, "It’s so great to see you."

Ximen Kankan’s eyes flushed red, "You brat!"

Then his eyes dimmed, "Shuangshuang and Jiang Qingyu are dead."

"Jiang Qingyu is dead?" Duan Rong’s heart stirred, though he wasn’t surprised.

Xia Shuangshuang and Jiang Qingyu were only at the Inner Breath Realm Small Success, the weakest among the registered disciples. With even a slight bit of bad luck, survival would be tough.

Duan Rong hugged Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan tightly.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu squirmed and slipped away.

"What are you doing?" Duan Rong pursed his lips, looking at Xiao Yu.

The meaning was, after narrowly escaping death, can’t we even share a hug?

Xiao Yu said, "It hurts!"

Only then did Duan Rong notice the bloodied bandages on Xiao Yu’s shoulder and leg.

"You’re hurt?" Duan Rong asked with concern.

"Just a superficial wound, nothing serious." Xiao Yu replied in a weak voice.

In reality, Duan Rong hadn’t hurt her while hugging. Her injuries were on her shoulder and leg, and Duan Rong had hugged her arm.

However, Xiao Yu had never been this close to Duan Rong before. She smelled his scent, her heart thumping like a deer, her breathing became difficult, and her face flushed hotly, which was why she struggled free.

Duan Rong, seeing Xiao Yu injured, let go of Ximen Kankan’s arm, glanced up and down at him, and said, "You seem quite lively, not a scratch on you!"

Ximen Kankan laughed, "Of course! With my skill in horizontal training, how could I be injured?"

Duan Rong said, "Horizontal training? It looks more like a body of horizontal fat to me."

Ximen Kankan glared, "Are you purposely provoking me? Can you even speak properly?"

Ximen Kankan admired Ah Mo’s robust prowess with horizontal training. He boasted about it, but Duan Rong quickly deflated him.

"Who’s provoking you?" Duan Rong said, "I’m just kindly reminding you."

"Do I need your reminder? It’s unnecessary!"

Xiao Yu watched the two bicker, her eyes smiled like crescents.

The three laughed and chatted as they walked towards the road...
