He Lanque was not dead yet.
Although the Third Turn Rare Treasure Relic, "Mirror Armor," had been shattered by Yaoshi Yuan's painstakingly prepared strike, the strongest yet most useless trait of Mirror Armor was that when it broke, it formed a defense barrier capable of blocking any attack—even a Foundation Establishment attack. At the same time, the herald gained restorative power equivalent to consuming nearly a hundred Blood Replenishment Pills. As long as their head was not severed, they could almost certainly survive.
Escape!
Even if Yaoshi Yuan would become a great threat in the future, He Lanque could only flee.
He could not die. All his relics were the finest products of the family's military strongholds. If he lost them here, he would truly be beyond redemption, and the Helan Family's strength would decline by a considerable margin because of him!
But now that he wanted to escape, how could Yaoshi Yuan and the little girl simply stand by and watch?
Unfortunately, the previous Flowing Strike had nearly broken Yaoshi Yuan's long spear in two, so she had no choice but to wield the broken spear and entangle He Lanque.
The effects of the Cloud Dexterity Pill were still active, and He Lanque also had the advantage in weaponry. He could easily suppress Yaoshi Yuan's pursuit with casual movements. The little girl, however, leaped up and thrust at his throat. Since he had no Defensive Token, he could only block with his saber.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Amid a chain of lightning-fast exchanges, He Lanque was already close to the horses. His heart instead settled down at this moment. Yaoshi Yuan was powerful but lacked stamina, while the little girl was tenacious but not skilled in offense. As long as he mounted a horse, he could escape this disaster.
