His palm gradually grew damp, sweat slowly beading on the hand gripping his spirit artifact.
As she communicated with her two subordinates through voice transmissions, Madam Rouge grew irritated.
Their opponent clearly only had foundation establishment middle stage cultivation, yet he had instantly slain one of their own, leaving them afraid to act rashly!
The feeling of being bound hand and foot was deeply humiliating!
Just as Madam Rouge grew angrier and angrier, unable to resist ending the standoff and attacking, she noticed an unexpected development.
Several streaks of escape light suddenly entered the edge of her divine sense, rapidly approaching amid waves of foundation establishment level spirit pressure.
Two of those auras were far stronger than those of ordinary foundation establishment cultivators. They had actually reached the foundation establishment peak!
However, Madam Rouge seemed to recognize the cultivators within the escape lights. Even an evil cultivator like her, whose business was murder and robbery, revealed a look of alarm.
"Tang Tianbao?!"
Madam Rouge cried out, as though she had seen some terrifying figure.
"This is bad! Retreat, now!!"
After merely calling out to her two subordinates, she rapidly formed hand seals and forced out three drops of blood essence. Using a secret art similar to Blood-Sacrificial Escape that depleted her vital energy, she rode her spirit artifact into the sky.
Her movements flowed seamlessly together, clearly well practiced. She had probably rehearsed them quite often.
With the speed of a thunderclap that left no time to cover one's ears, she became a streak of red escape light and rapidly fled into the distance.
Her flight speed was not far below Liu Yu's when he rode a top-grade spirit artifact. Ordinary cultivators could only stare at the dust left in her wake.
By comparison, her two subordinates were much slower.
