Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Three People Escape

Song Wanning knew this was the last of the Array’s energy. Still, to have eliminated so many Divinity Transformation cultivators had already far exceeded her expectations.

’Time to give them the final blow.’

"Despicable! Shameless!"

They hadn’t expected the Array to rally, and rage flooded their minds, drowning all reason.

Song Wanning had gone too far! She was trying to wipe them all out! Wasn’t she afraid of retribution?

Yu’er panicked, trying her best to fight back while hiding behind her brother.

But she could barely even lift a hand. How was she supposed to deal with the red mist?

And so, she became the one in the most danger.

Despite Feng Jinchuan’s best efforts, he couldn’t keep her completely safe. In just a moment, more than half of Yu’er’s body was destroyed.

Barely clinging to life, she was in so much pain that her mind grew hazy.

Feng Jinchuan’s heart leaped into his throat. He pulled her into a tight embrace, only to be struck by the red mist himself, which burned a large hole through his back.

The others were in a dire situation as well. Before long, another one of them fell.

Now, only four remained.

Song Wanning watched in silence, calculating her odds of victory.

’Once they escape this Array, their strength will return to normal. Even though they’re injured, I might not be able to beat all of them combined. And who knows what other Magical Treasures they might have? My situation is still uncertain.’

But soon, a new twist occurred.

A giant maw suddenly lunged toward Feng Jinchuan, looking as if it would swallow him whole.

He was holding Yu’er and couldn’t break free, trapped in a terrible dilemma.

If he chose to save himself, his sister would die.

At that critical moment, Yu’er pushed Feng Jinchuan away and threw herself into the red mist with all her might.

"Yu’er!!!!"

Feng Jinchuan froze, watching with his own eyes as Yu’er was devoured.

A moment later, her mangled skeleton was spat back out.

He stood stunned for a moment before rushing forward to scoop up her remains, his eyes filled with anguish and disbelief.

Yu’er was the person dearest to him. They were full siblings who had grown up together, always supporting one another.

He had thought he could lead his sister out of this place and ascend to the Spirit Realm together, but instead, she had fallen here.

How could he not be filled with hatred?

Feng Jinchuan’s head snapped up. He placed his sister’s skeletal remains into his Storage Ring.

His face became unnervingly calm, a sight that made the two elders’ skin crawl.

They had never seen their Clan Leader look this way. His heart must be broken beyond measure.

The three men turned to look at Song Wanning, their eyes glinting with terrifying killing intent.

Her expression remained placid. ’So Yu’er was willing to die for her brother. Their bond was deep indeed—far better than those ungrateful wolves.’

But they were enemies.

Song Wanning would only applaud; she felt no sympathy.

"You. Deserve. To die!"

Feng Jinchuan spoke, his voice suddenly calm.

Beneath his seemingly placid face raged a violent storm.

He took something from his Storage Ring that pulsed with a dense, black light.

Song Wanning froze. ’That thing looks familiar... Is there any difference between it and that Soul Summoning Banner Qi Xiezi used to have?’

She narrowed her eyes and spoke with a jeer, "So the Clan Leader also dabbles in such unconscionable acts?"

"It seems to hold quite a few vengeful souls."

The Soul Summoning Banner was a Magic Artifact beloved by Evil Cultivators. The greater the resentment of the souls trapped within, the more potent its effects.

And the Soul Summoning Banner in Feng Jinchuan’s hand was no less powerful than Qi Xiezi’s.

The two Feng Family elders were also stunned, a look of surprise flashing in their eyes.

But their lives were hanging by a thread. As long as they could survive, who cared what methods he used?

Feng Jinchuan heard Song Wanning’s taunt but offered no explanation. He had learned this technique during a trip to the outside world, killing a few people along the way to feed the banner.

Now was the perfect time to use it.

The Array was clearly on its last legs.

If they could just exhaust its final dregs of energy, they might have a chance to break out.

So in the next instant, he unleashed all the vengeful souls from the Soul Summoning Banner.

Immediately, the red mist went into a frenzy, surging toward the vengeful souls.

"AHHH—"

The vengeful souls let out shrill, blood-curdling screams, and the ambient energy descended into chaos.

The impact rocked Feng Jinchuan and the two elders, causing blood to trickle from their noses and mouths as they grew dizzy and disoriented.

Song Wanning chuckled softly. ’Looks like it’s impossible to keep them trapped now.’ Still, she was satisfied with having killed so many.

Now, it was time to prepare to face her enemies.

"Stay back and keep yourself safe. Don’t get involved, and don’t become a burden to me!" she said suddenly to Bai Yang at her side.

’Bai Yang still has his uses. I don’t want anything to happen to him now, not unless it’s absolutely necessary.’

But to Bai Yang’s ears, her words sounded like his master’s genuine concern for him.

He was deeply moved and nodded earnestly.

’These are all Divinity Transformation cultivators. Not only can I not help, but I’d probably just get in the way.’

’I will not let myself become a burden to Master.’

"AHHH—"

The roars of the vengeful souls continued, but the expressions on Feng Jinchuan and the two elders shifted slightly as they sensed a chance to escape.

The Array was shaking violently, clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Hahahaha! You bitch, you’re finished!"

One of the elders was overjoyed. He threw his head back and roared with laughter, his face alight with excitement.

’To be pushed to the brink of death, only for the tables to turn so dramatically! That bitch can just wait to be torn limb from limb.’

"Hmph! That woman cost us so many of our people! Between her and us, only one side will walk away alive!"

"Clan Leader, once we get out, we must kill her and avenge our brothers and sisters!"

The two elders were united in their hatred, looking at Song Wanning as if she were already dead.

But Feng Jinchuan wasn’t nearly as optimistic as they were. Something was off about Song Wanning’s reaction.

’Anyone else, seeing the three of us on the verge of escaping, would be terrified. They would try to run.’

’But she still looks completely confident, as if she anticipated this all along.’

’Which means she must be confident she can handle the three of us.’

Feng Jinchuan’s heart sank, and a deep killing intent flashed in his eyes.

’So what if she’s strong?’

’She’s destined to be a sacrifice for my sister’s funeral!’

RUMBLE—

The Array began to shake violently, followed by a series of explosions.

Everyone watched as the Array began to collapse, sparks and lightning crackling like fireworks.

"This is bad, Master! They’re about to get out!"

Even though Bai Yang had been mentally prepared, his heart still lurched in terror when he saw them emerge.

’These are three Divinity Transformation cultivators! Even injured, they’re still the real deal.’

’Can Master really win, one against three?’

"Hahahaha—"

The instant Bai Yang finished speaking, the three men shot out from the Array, speeding away from its collapse and charging straight for Song Wanning.

All of their eyes blazed with breathtaking hatred.

’This bitch is dead!’
