Seeing how effective the Flame Dragon Talismans were, Ke Xialing threw several more in different directions. Having already suffered once, the Soul Devourer Beasts immediately retreated when they saw her unleash the talismans.
This time, the Flame Dragon Talismans sent in different directions were far less effective. Only a few Soul Devourer Beasts were burned to death, and two talismans missed entirely.
The onslaught of the Flame Dragon Talismans tore a gap in the Soul Devourer Beasts' encirclement.
Ke Xialing immediately seized the chance and led her junior sisters through the air like a streak of lightning. Her flying sword cleared the way as she fought her way out, Soul Devourer Beasts falling wherever she passed.
Seeing this, the others also roused the immortal power within their bodies and charged after Ke Xialing.
Soon, they carved a bloody path out and escaped the encirclement.
"Let's go, quickly!"
Ke Xialing shouted, summoning her flying sword and leading everyone swiftly away. They kept driving their flying swords onward, racing through the air, and soon left the Soul Devourer Beasts behind.
"We finally shook those things off," Shen Yu said with a sigh of relief.
The battle had been far too perilous. They had nearly failed to make it back.
"Yes, let's leave this place first," Ke Xialing said, still feeling some lingering fear.
What had begun as an eagerly anticipated outing for experience and treasure hunting had brought them straight into a pack of Soul Devourer Beasts upon arrival. Fortunately, luck had been on their side, and they had fled quickly. Had they reacted a little slower, they certainly would not have made it back.
They continued flying for another hour. By then, they were quite far from the Ancient Ruins and could no longer sense any Soul Devourer Beasts behind them.
