Deep in the woods, two streaks of dark light came hurtling in from the left and right, both giving off an intensely unsettling aura.
Their manner of movement made it obvious that they intended to completely surround Chen Baiqing's group.
The dark light moved swiftly, seemingly breaking through the azure rings of light Chen Baiqing had formed, layer after layer.
The azure rings shattered, their radiance spilling outward and dissolving into specks of fluorescence.
Li Qiyun made his judgment. At the speed those dark streaks were moving, he most likely would not escape with Tang Wanjun in tow.
He hesitated no longer, first shielding Tang Wanjun behind him before looking toward Chen Baiqing.
Although they were both at the Golden Core stage, the mere fact that Chen Baiqing had detected those two streaks of dark light in advance meant her cultivation was probably considerably higher than his.
Besides, Li Qiyun had only just entered the Golden Core stage. Finding a Golden Core cultivator with lower cultivation than his would probably be difficult.
Chen Baiqing's dress and manner of speaking also made her seem more like a cultivator who roamed the wilds, and her experience handling trouble far surpassed that of a sect cultivator like him.
Li Qiyun did not overestimate himself. He asked Chen Baiqing earnestly:
"What do we do now?"
Chen Baiqing swept her gaze over the two dark figures. Even with the Azure Sky Treasure Ring's reinforcement, these two unknown creatures could easily break through.
Their cultivation... had to be at least late Golden Core, and not some shoddy Golden Core, either.
More likely, they were in the Nascent Soul realm.
If I were alone, escaping shouldn't be difficult. But bringing a shoddy Golden Core and a shoddy Foundation Establishment cultivator along probably wouldn't be so easy.
