"Luo Feng, let your fellow disciples leave first!"
"Elders from the Body Sect are waiting outside the Sun Moon Empire to receive them!"
Although the Sun Moon Empire had yet to fully react, that did not mean they were safe right now.
After suffering such a humiliating loss in public, Holy Spirit Cult Leader Zhongli Wu would never let the matter rest.
Perhaps a net stretching from heaven to earth was already waiting outside!
However, as the Earth Dragon Sect's leader,
Nan Shuishui refused to flee alone.
She gave the most precious window of time to the disciples under her care.
After all, they were the seeds of the Earth Dragon Sect's future.
Luo Feng felt helpless about her decision, but he had to accept it.
He was Nan Qiuqiu's husband now, after all.
By the time most of his fellow disciples had left,
it was already nearing dusk.
Even if Xu Tianran and the Holy Spirit Cult were slow to react, surely they had received word by now?
Even if there wasn't a net stretching from heaven to earth outside,
it certainly wasn't safe anymore.
Seeing this, Luo Feng could no longer afford to be awkward.
He wrapped an arm around his lovely wife's slender waist and grabbed Nan Shuishui's arm.
"Qiuqiu, Mother-in-law, come with me!"
As the saying went, fail to act when you should, and you would suffer the consequences.
Although the scene looked rather intimate and overstepped the bounds of propriety,
getting mother and daughter out safely was what mattered most.
"A Feng!"
Seeing her husband act like this,
Nan Qiuqiu said nothing more.
As for Nan Shuishui, her face alternated between red and pale.
But there was no time to worry about that now.
Their lives came first!
Yet the situation was worse than they had imagined.
With the Holy Spirit Cult's scouting abilities, how could they possibly have failed to discover this safe passage?
Whether the fellow disciples ahead had escaped remained unclear.
When Luo Feng arrived nearby with the two beauties, one older and one younger,
the place had already been sealed off.
At least two battalions of troops were stationed on the ground.
There were also scouting soul tools in the sky.
They could even vaguely make out a nine-ring Titled Douluo nearby.
"It's him!"
The instant Nan Shuishui saw that figure, she shuddered all over.
Needless to say, this was the Holy Spirit Cult's Third Elder.
He was also the lovesick lapdog who had once pursued Nan Shuishui.
But now he was there to enforce the blockade.
He certainly wouldn't go easy on them.
And there seemed to be more than one supreme expert nearby.
Within the thick clouds, they could vaguely discern the silhouette of a giant beast.
Its front half resembled a tiger, but its tail was like a scorpion's.
"Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng?"
"This is troublesome!"
Seeing how tightly the enemy guarded the place,
Luo Feng felt helpless too.
Although his current strength was already extraordinary,
this was still the Sun Moon Empire's capital.
If he kicked up a storm, he would very likely be surrounded.
"A Feng, what do we do?"
At the sight before her,
Nan Qiuqiu panicked completely and nearly burst into tears!
"We have no choice. We'll have to force our way through!"
"You... both of you, hold on tight to me in a moment!"
Faced with this situation,
Luo Feng had no better solution.
He could only use his Time-Stop Skill to get as far out as possible.
But the process would hardly be graceful.
Not only did he have to protect his wife, he would probably have to get a little closer to his mother-in-law too.
"Mm!"
Sure enough, upon hearing her son-in-law's words,
Nan Shuishui's face grew even redder.
That vague, ambiguous intimacy
left the beautiful leader of the Earth Dragon Sect at a loss for how to respond.
Her heart, which had lain still for so many years, was now fluttering wildly like a young girl's.
How could this happen?
Yet with her daughter right there, she couldn't let it show too plainly.
She could only lower her head and deliberately soften her voice!
"Oh, all right. All right, Feng. Sorry for the trouble!"
Hearing the hint of shyness in his mother-in-law's voice,
Luo Feng couldn't help feeling his thoughts swing like a restless monkey and his desires gallop like a wild horse.
But his Time Stop currently lasted only two minutes.
He didn't know whether that would actually be enough to escape.
So he had to make his preparations first!
"Pardon me, Sect Leader!"
The next moment, Luo Feng extended both arms.
He wrapped one around his wife's shoulders and the other around his mother-in-law's slender waist.
"Ah!"
Nan Qiuqiu barely reacted.
She was used to being held by him, after all.
Nan Shuishui, however, let out a soft cry.
Then she buried her head in the crook of his arm, not daring to look at either her son-in-law or her daughter.
Still, her small hand obediently clutched Luo Feng's clothes.
"Good!"
"Let's go!"
"[Time Stop Opener]!"
He snapped the fingers of the hand he had wrapped around his wife.
The world fell silent once again.
Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, concealed in the sky, still had his head turned as he scanned the surroundings.
The stern-faced Third Elder stared thoughtfully at the entrance.
As for the Sun Moon Empire's soldiers, they stood like statues.
They held their guns, lined up in two rows.
But with time frozen, they had no idea
that three figures were swiftly rushing through the passage under their control.
Perhaps they were still investigating where this route led?
Scattered evil soul masters could still be seen along the way.
However, they were all Soul Saints and Soul Douluos.
Some Level 7 and Level 8 Soul Engineers from the Sun Moon Empire were also helping with the investigation.
Yet every piece of high-grade equipment on them ceased functioning at that moment.
Even the cameras couldn't capture the three figures from behind.
Although the outside world couldn't affect them for the moment,
the process was also a torment for Luo Feng.
"Whew!"
He had long since savored Nan Qiuqiu's softness.
But Nan Shuishui had shyly buried her head in the crook of his arm.
As they ran, her lovely hair kept teasing Luo Feng's heart.
What an enchantress!
Probably only Luo Feng would describe his own mother-in-law that way.
Although he was running at full speed,
with two women in tow, the two minutes soon ran out.
Fortunately, just as the final seconds were ticking down,
that familiar electronic voice sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations on using your innate skill to escape by the skin of your teeth once again.] [Your cultivation has advanced to Level 69! You have also gained another 100,000-year soul ring.] [In recognition of your continued efforts, the system has decided to award an additional 100,000-year torso soul bone.] [You have gained a total of four new soul skills this time. Please check them.]
All right, then!
Once again, the facts proved
that as long as he used Time Stop in a crisis,
his strength would increase.
These four newly acquired soul skills were equivalent to four life-saving trump cards for Luo Feng.
And he had a vague feeling that these moves would come in handy very soon!
"All right, let's take a look at these four new trump cards!"
Sixth Soul Ring, first soul skill: [Reverse Flow of Time]
It could rewind cause and effect for a group and reset their states.
Specifically, it forcibly rolled time back several seconds, starting at five seconds and increasing as his soul power level rose!
"Holy crap! This move defies the heavens!"
After seeing the soul skill's attributes provided by the system,
even Luo Feng sucked in a breath of cold air.
Who said there was no medicine for regret in this world?
With this move, I, the Jade Dragon King, can reverse space and time.
Don't underestimate those initial five seconds.
When those supreme Titled Douluos unleashed their ultimate moves, not even a second could be wasted.
Even half a second could determine life or death.
This move effectively gave him unlimited chances to correct mistakes. It was absolutely a cheating ultimate move!
But an even greater surprise lay ahead.
Sixth Soul Ring, second soul skill: [Dragon Emperor's Divine Might]
It could generate divine-level bloodline pressure, along with wide-area mental and attribute suppression.
Within a radius of several thousand meters, all beast martial souls and mutated beast martial souls would suffer absolute suppression from a superior progenitor bloodline.
All their attributes and fighting spirit would be forcibly reduced by 30%-40%, filling their hearts with terror.
Ordinary soldiers and low-level soul masters would even collapse to the ground, their martial souls retreating directly into their bodies!
Upon reading the description of this second soul skill,
Luo Feng immediately thought of Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng outside.
Although there was still a considerable gap between their levels,
under this bloodline pressure, that Scorpion Tiger would be nothing but Hello Kitty before the Jade Dragon King!
"Excellent. Keep going!"
100,000-year torso soul bone, first soul bone skill: [Myriad Things Cannot Invade]
This was an absolute group defense that could clad them in tough dragon armor.
It could instantly generate nine layers of Primordial Jade Sacred Dragon Scales, forming close-fitting dragon armor and expanding outward into an Azure Jade Dragon Shield ten meters in diameter.
This protection left no blind spots.
It could easily withstand direct hits from Fixed-Installation Soul Cannons of Class Nine or below, as well as a Titled Douluo's area-wide Death Fiend bombardment.
The moment Luo Feng saw this Soul Bone Skill,
he activated it without another word.
He wasn't particularly worried about himself.
What worried him most was his wife and mother-in-law beside him.
This jade dragon armor was practically equivalent to Three-Word Battle Armor!
As long as they didn't encounter a Limit Douluo attacking at full power, he could easily keep both mother and daughter alive!
"Not bad, not bad! I love practical skills like this!"
Finally came the hundred-thousand-year Torso Soul Bone's second Soul Bone Skill: [Light-Time Void Escape].
This involved folding higher-dimensional space for an ultra-long-range displacement that broke through spatial boundaries.
It was a little like the Flash skill in Honor of Kings, but its range was much greater.
It could teleport him and his passengers thirty li in a single jump, and could be activated three times in quick succession.
Then it had a one-hour cooldown.
This move absolutely maxed out the Jade Dragon King's ability to evade.
Once Luo Feng had gained a rough understanding of these four major skills,
the Time Stop effect ended right on cue.
And his mother-in-law, held in his arms, let out another startled cry.
"Ah, Feng! What's this armor?"
It was that dragon armor.
As the sect master of the Earth Dragon Sect, Nan Shuishui was extremely sensitive to the aura of dragons.
When she saw the section of armor covering her body,
she couldn't help exclaiming again!
Yet that single soft cry from his beautiful mother-in-law
instantly drew the attention of the pursuers behind them.
"Who's there?"
"Stop!"
"I am Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, Sixth Consecrated Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult! Don't even think about escaping the palm of my hand!"
Damn!
Talk about getting exactly what I wished for!
Luo Feng had just been thinking about trying his new Soul Skill on this little tiger.
Who knew the fellow would deliver himself right to his doorstep!
"Qiuqiu, take Mother and retreat first. I'll hold him off!"
"A Feng, you-!"
"It's fine. Be good, sweetheart. Don't you trust me?"
After giving the mother and daughter a confident smile,
Luo Feng instantly released his six Soul Rings.
Four black, two red!
That absolutely put him among the cream of the crop of his peers...
