He was overjoyed and immediately ran in that direction. However, as he got closer, he found that the four people ahead were also fleeing desperately, clearly disturbed by the thunder beast.
Upon seeing Lin Yitang, Senior Brother Si was overjoyed. He immediately exaggerated his movements and shouted loudly, "Junior Sister Lin, save me! A demonic beast is chasing me!"
Lin Yitang and the others had been concealing themselves and hiding their auras as they tried to escape, but Senior Brother Si exposed them. The four of them cursed the male cultivator inwardly; why did he have to shout and yell when he was running away? He had gotten them into serious trouble.
The female cultivator from the Tianxuan Sect angrily rebuked, "Who are you? Why did you expose our whereabouts? Do you know that doing this will kill us?"
Although the disciples of Tianyan Sect and Taique Sect did not speak, their eyes were filled with hostility as they looked at Senior Brother Si.
However, at that moment, the howls of the Thunder Beast were already upon them. No one had time to blame Senior Brother Si anymore; they could only desperately flee forward. Lin Yitang also disregarded Senior Brother Si, quickly activating her Windwalking Technique to catch up with the disciples of the three major sects.
Senior Brother Si quickly followed. As he ran, he anxiously explained to Lin Yitang, "Junior Sister Lin, please save me! I really didn't mean to. I just wanted to find you, but I encountered this monster..."
Lin Yitang ignored his explanation and just ran forward as fast as she could. She knew that escaping was the priority now, and any unnecessary words could be their death warrant.
Behind them, the thunder beast's footsteps grew closer and closer, and the terrifying thunderous roar almost shattered their eardrums.
The heavy footsteps, each one filled with despair. The Thunder Beast was as large as the sky, its jet-black scales shimmering with terrifying lightning, its eyes like two bright moons formed from lightning bolts, radiating a horrifying power.
The female cultivator at the Golden Core stage was at the very front of the group. She glanced back at the Thunder Beast, and her expression changed drastically.
She gritted her teeth and said, "This thunder beast has at least the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage, and may even be close to the Nascent Soul stage! The four of us combined are no match for it. Fortunately, this mountain has a barrier, and the seal is being restored. Once we escape to the foot of the mountain and leave the Thunderfall Mountain area, it should be unable to catch us!"
The two people from the Tianyan Sect and Taique Sect behind her were also seeing such a giant beast for the first time, and they turned pale with fright. Lin Yitang, because her cultivation was slightly inferior, fell to third place in the group.
Senior Brother Si, on the other hand, was the weakest in cultivation and was left behind.
As the thunder beast drew ever closer, Senior Brother Si was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He desperately channeled his spiritual power, but still couldn't quicken his pace.
Just when he was almost in despair, his gaze suddenly fell on Lin Yitang not far ahead.
"Right, doesn't Lin Yitang have some strength too? Maybe she has some trump cards. If we can get her to block the Thunder Beast, even if we can't defeat it, we can at least buy some time for me to get to the foot of the mountain." Senior Brother Si's eyes darted around, and he suddenly thought of a plan.
This way, he could not only escape danger but also achieve his goal of killing Lin Yitang—truly killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Senior Brother Si was secretly delighted and quietly took out a flashing talisman from his pocket.
He gathered his spiritual power, activated it, and then hurled it fiercely towards Lin Yitang. The talisman drew a streak of light in the air before exploding with a bang, transforming into a blinding white light.
Lin Yitang was focused on escaping when she was suddenly blinded by the bright light and involuntarily stopped in her tracks.
In that split second, Senior Brother Si suddenly grabbed her arm and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, sending her flying backward a distance. Although Senior Brother Si's strength wasn't anything special, he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his full-force attack was no joke.
This attack pushed Lin Yitang into the path of the Thunder Beast, making her its primary target.
She barely managed to steady herself, instinctively regaining her balance. She turned around and glared at Senior Brother Si, only to find him looking at her with a sinister expression.
"What are you doing?!" Lin Yitang shouted sharply, gritting her teeth as she looked at the thunder beast rapidly approaching from behind.
At this moment, she was completely within the Thunder Beast's attack range, and the next attack was about to come at her!
As he fled, Senior Brother Si laughed smugly, shouting triumphantly, "Hahaha, Lin Yitang, you can just obediently go and die! That way I can escape."
Seeing this, Lin Yitang immediately understood. She gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
I knew all along that this guy surnamed Si wasn't a good person, always harboring malicious intentions. Now it seems he's finally shown his true colors; he was trying to kill me!
She sneered inwardly. Had he forgotten the contract he made with her, forbidding him from harming her? Even if Senior Brother Si escaped this time, he was destined to be bound by the contract and wouldn't live much longer.
However, Lin Yitang had to admit that Senior Brother Si's move had indeed gotten her into trouble.
The roar of the Thunder Beast grew closer, its terrifying pressure making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She had to come up with a solution quickly, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this critical moment, she couldn't care less about anything else. She immediately used the Earth Escape Technique and activated several Swiftness Talismans at the same time. With all her might, she surpassed Senior Brother Si in an instant.
Although neither of them had left the Thunder Beast's range, when escaping for their lives, they didn't necessarily have to be faster than the monster; they only needed to be faster than the others traveling with them!
The next second, the thunder beast let out a deafening roar, its eyes shooting out terrifying lightning. It suddenly whipped its tail, and a long whip formed of lightning appeared out of thin air, lashing towards Senior Brother Si with lightning speed.
Senior Brother Si's eyes widened as he tried to dodge, but he found there was nowhere to hide.
The lightning whip lashed out at him, instantly piercing through his body. Senior Brother Si screamed in agony, his body convulsing as he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Lin Yitang was about to be attacked again, but a disciple of the Taique Sect in front of her used a rope-like water-based spell to pull her out of the attack range, thus saving her from disaster.
Lin Yitang didn't have time to express her gratitude to the disciples of Taique Sect. She continued to use her full strength in earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic technique) and activated the speed-travel talisman, finally catching up with the speed of the people in front of her and matching the speed of the disciples of Taique Sect and Tianyan Sect.
Amidst the constant explosions and overwhelming spiritual pressure, the four finally reached the foot of the mountain and escaped the barrier.
The moment they stepped out of the barrier, all three of them, except for the female cultivator from the Tianxuan Sect, coughed up mouthfuls of blood and their auras weakened.
Lin Yitang was the most seriously injured.
This was a Thunder Beast at the late Golden Core stage. She, only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, was just grateful to have escaped. She couldn't care less about the internal and external injuries she suffered in the process.
In fact, she was already seriously injured by the spiritual pressure of the Golden Core stage and the aftershocks of the attack; if she had waited even a breath longer, she would not have been able to hold on!
The Tianyan Sect disciple clutched his chest, his face pale, clearly having suffered a serious injury. The Taique Sect disciple was in slightly better condition, but not much better.
