So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Cheng Xuan's eyes fell on Ling Jiuan and he spoke with interest.

"You do have some skills! It's a pity that you are just a useless person at the foundation building stage and you don't have any spiritual roots. No matter how good the skills are, they are just useless in your hands. The sword you used just now was just barely able to block my casual attack."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, her expression changed slightly. She knew that what Cheng Xuan said was true.

There is indeed a world of difference between her strength and Cheng Xuan's.

She had used all her might in that sword strike just now, but she only managed to barely block Cheng Xuan's casual attack.

The gap in strength is too big, and she is now at her wit's end.

Cheng Xuan looked at Ling Jiuan's reluctant look and smiled coldly.

He raised his hand and gathered evil energy that was several times stronger than before, and attacked Ling Jiuan.

The evil spirit was like a giant beast in the darkness, pouncing towards Ling Jiuan with bared fangs and claws, bringing destructive power.

Ling Jiuan looked at the evil spirit that was attacking him, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

She knew that she couldn't take this blow at all.

However, at this moment, Lei Tingyi raised his hand and stood in front of Ling Jiuan.

However, his thunder power had no effect on Cheng Xuan.

The blow landed on him, and he groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body staggered.

Finally, he collapsed to the ground, completely losing the strength to fight back.

Ling Jiuan looked at Lei Tingyi who was lying on the ground, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Can't admit defeat!

Even though there is a huge gap in strength and even though there is little hope, she cannot give up.

Because this is her only way out.

Seeing this, Cheng Xuan smiled coldly.

"Suffer to death!"

The blow landed, and there was a loud bang, accompanied by smoke, and everything was settled.

However, when the smoke gradually dissipated, the smile on Cheng Xuan's face came to an abrupt end.

He stared at the scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

The place where Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi were originally was now empty, and the two of them had disappeared without a trace.

"how is this possible?"

Cheng Xuan muttered to himself, feeling an inexplicable anger and panic in his heart.

He had clearly felt the breath of the two people disappear, but how could they escape right under his nose?

He quickly looked around, trying to find any trace of the two men.

The valley is complicated and there are not many passages, so it is not difficult to find the two people.

What's more, Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi were already seriously injured at this time, and it was impossible for them to escape too far.

"They must be hiding here somewhere."

Cheng Xuan then used his spiritual power to begin searching the valley.

He swore that he would find these two men and tear them into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.

However, after searching for a long time, Cheng Xuan still could not find any trace of Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi.

This made him even more angry and unwilling, as the prey he had just caught was taken away from him.

What a shame!

"I won't let you go!"

Cheng Xuan roared, his voice echoing in the valley.

He understood that if today's events were to spread, he would be ruined and all his years of business would be destroyed.

Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi know his secret. He must find these two people as soon as possible and eliminate them completely to ensure that his plan will not be leaked.

On the other side, Ling Jiuan supported the seriously injured Lei Tingyi and fled in panic.

Her face was full of anxiety. Just now at the critical moment, she used the teleportation talisman to try to escape from Cheng Xuan's pursuit.

However, because this valley was restricted, their teleportation was only temporary and they were still trapped in the valley.

"We have to get out of here as soon as possible, or we will all die here."

There was a hint of trembling in Ling Jiuan's voice, but she supported Lei Tingyi and looked for a way out.

Lei Tingyi's face was as pale as paper, and he barely opened his eyes.

"You go first, don't worry about me. He's too evil. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape with two people."

Ling Jiuan rolled his eyes at him.

"Shut up! Hold on to me and we'll find a way out together."

Lei Tingyi raised his hand and made a gesture, summoning something similar to a magic weapon.

It was a small compass with a faint light flowing on the surface. The needle was constantly rotating, as if looking for something.

He spoke with some difficulty, a hint of breath in his voice.

"Follow it, it can lead us to the weakest point of the ban, maybe we can escape from there."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

She held Lei Tingyi tightly and looked at the compass with a firm gaze.

She knew that this was their only chance of survival and they had to hold on to it tightly.

So, she supported Lei Tingyi and followed the guidance of the compass, walking step by step towards the weakest place of the restriction.

As long as they can find the weak spot of the restriction, they may be able to escape, expose Cheng Xuan's crimes, and bring justice to those innocent people.

Soon, the compass stopped turning, and the needle pointed steadily to a wall. Ling Jiuan frowned, with a complicated expression.

She looked around and confirmed that there was no other way out before asking uncertainly.

"Is this it? This wall doesn't look anything special."

However, just as she finished her words, Cheng Xuan's voice sounded coldly, breaking the silence.

"It is here, but...you will also die here."

As the voice fell, Cheng Xuan's figure slowly appeared in their sight.

An ominous premonition arose in the hearts of Jiuan and Lei Tingyi at the same time.

Cheng Xuan's strength was far above theirs, and they were already at the end of their strength, so it was almost impossible for them to escape.

"Cheng Xuan, you can't succeed!"

Ling Jiuan gritted his teeth and glared at Cheng Xuan.

Cheng Xuan looked at Ling Jiuan with disdain, a cruel smile on his face.

"Ling Jiuan, you are really cunning. But what's the use? You are trapped in this valley now. I have been waiting here for you two to fall into my trap and die."

He paused and continued.

"Now, if you two die here, it will be good for you, for me, and for everyone else. It will save me the trouble of looking for you, and it will also save you from leaking my secrets to others after you get out."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.

She held the Akabane sword tightly, and the sword trembled and made a humming sound, as if it could also sense her emotions.

She knew that what Cheng Xuan said was true and they were indeed in a desperate situation.

However, she was not willing to give up just like that.

"Cheng Xuan, you can't succeed!"

"Even if we die, we will take you with us!"

As she spoke, she swung the Chiyu Sword and slashed out a stream of sword energy to attack Cheng Xuan.

However, her attack seemed so weak in front of Cheng Xuan. When the sword energy came into contact with Cheng Xuan's evil spirit, it was instantly swallowed up without a trace.

Cheng Xuan sneered and waved his hand, and a stream of evil energy attacked Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiuan was unable to dodge and was hit by the evil spirit. Blood flowed out of his mouth and his body was shaking.
