Escape

"A bug is a bug, ptooey!" Aosi spat a mouthful of lava saliva into a clump of minced meat, which immediately hissed and emitted a wisp of blue smoke.

"What a pity, it's just a fragment of a soul, otherwise I would definitely have had some fun with this bug."

After spitting out another mouthful of lava saliva, Aosi grinned maliciously and walked deeper into the area. "Little bug, are you ready? Your grandpa Aosi is coming for you!"

In the black mist, Shen Ge listened to the deafening laughter, his face slightly gloomy. It wasn't because he couldn't escape, but because the scheme he had painstakingly set up had only resulted in killing a split soul, not the main body, which made Shen Ge quite upset.

A split soul, as the name suggests, is a part of the soul that is separated from the original soul, and its strength is almost the same as that of the original soul.

Generally speaking, Spirit Severing Realm, two to five separate souls are created for cultivation, which are then merged back into one when the Body Integration Realm is reached.

The number two to five here does not mean that there can only be a maximum of five splits. Rather, it means that exceeding five will affect the self and reduce the strength of all split souls. This would not only be a loss but could also lead to the risk of not being able to recover the split souls later on.

Moreover, the main soul is also severely injured for a long time after the death of a split soul, so very few people split their souls into multiple parts.

Of course, if there are special Cultivation Method, then there's no need to worry about that. For example, the old man who created the Life and Death Instruction, according to Shen Ge's description, even omitted the step of refining the body.

Let's not talk about that now. The most important thing is to save my life from that Evil Demon spirit.

After a moment's thought, Shen Ge decided to hide for the time being. There was no other way; under such absolute suppression of power, he had no better options.

According to his previous calculations, he should be watching the show from the sidelines right now, instead of finding himself in this dilemma.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. No matter how meticulously you plan, you can't always catch up with unexpected events.

However, Shen Ge didn't just find a random place to hide; he went straight back to that dead woman's side, intending to use the tactic of driving the wolf away to devour the tiger once again.

The dead woman seems to have almost recovered from her injuries, but she is still struggling for control of her body, and it looks like it's impossible to determine who will win or lose for the time being.

After all, that damned woman wasn't incompetent; she had some tricks up her sleeve.

Under the hateful gaze of that dead woman, Shen Ge directly released a burst of Samsara Spiritual Qi to attract the Evil Demon. After doing all this, he immediately turned around and left, his aura almost disappearing.

A moment later, a giant hand pushed aside the black mist and stepped in. "Little bug, don't hide, I can smell you."

"Oh, there's a little bug here too. What a pleasant surprise!"

Aosi reached into the black mist with his large hand, intending to grab the little insect and crush the dead woman. Just as his large hand was about to touch the woman's body...

At this critical moment, the dead woman's body completely dissipated, and at the same time, a violent demonic Yao Qi mixed with Jin Ling power swept out.

"Hmm?" Aosi sensed the Yao Qi aura and his expression turned slightly grave. "This aura is truly repulsive."

Are you even human?

"You think you can be disgusted? Don't you know who you are? Do you have the right to say such things?"

A delicate, ethereal, and slightly seductive female voice echoed from the void.

"In the past, if something like you dared to show your face in front of me, I would have smashed you to death on the spot."

"You're going to just kill me?" Aosi scoffed. "Nine-Tails, I don't deny you're strong, but right now your soul is incomplete, and your body is still strong. What do you have to fight me with!"

As soon as Aosi finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed at a point in the void, causing the surrounding black mist to scatter and flee.

Shen Ge paid no attention to the battle behind him. He was now making his way out. He had just passed through a small cave when a section of lava cave suddenly appeared in front of him. The scorching flames seemed capable of corroding and burning everything.

Shen Ge's expression was slightly unpleasant; it was clear that the Evil Demon had been left behind to stop him.

Sure enough, anyone with that kind of ability is practically a fool.

Shen Ge now faces two paths: one is to pass through here, which might cost him his life; the other is to dig a hole in the mountainside, which is covered with arrays and restrictions, and crawl out, the cost of which is unknown.

However, given the tangible and potentially deadly danger right in front of him, Shen Ge chose the second option without hesitation.

Moreover, in order to save time, he didn't observe carefully and directly attacked a node in the formation.

Fortunately, Shen Ge was lucky this time. He managed to create a gap about shoulder-width wide at the node of the formation, just big enough for him to pass through.

He continued digging upwards through the gap, but soon encountered Shen Ge. Because his Divine Sense was limited in this godforsaken place, he couldn't quite make out what was in front of him, so he accidentally dug his way into a burrow of Demonized Rat.

Looking at the dense swarm of rats in front of him, most of them were second or third tier, but there were also three or five fourth tier rats, which made Shen Ge's face extremely ugly.

But there was no other way now, so they had to fight it out. Shen Ge raised his hand and waved it, and a Sword Qi Long River began to clear the field. All the Demonized Rat below the fourth rank were shredded into bloody foam by this Sword Qi Long River.

In less than ten breaths, the place was already a river of blood, and the surrounding walls were covered with pieces of flesh, as if one had entered a hellish place.

However, although Shen Ge cleared the area this time, he was still seriously injured by the attack of five fourth-tier Demonized Rat. He had a bloody hole in his chest and a piece was bitten off his right thigh. These two injuries were the most serious. There were countless other minor injuries.

Moreover, these wounds were all shrouded in a layer of black mist that was corroding the surrounding flesh, clearly indicating that they were highly poisonous.

But Shen Ge has no chance to clear the toxins now. He dares not be careless in the face of these five fourth-level Demonized Rat. Demon Beast are inherently stronger than humans at the same level. Although these Demonized Rat are not fully conscious, there are still five of them, and two of them are even stronger than Shen Ge.

Facing five opponents alone, if he didn't escape, Shen Ge would be devoured alive by these things in less than fifteen minutes.

After glancing around, there was a dark passage not far away, obviously the way the rats went out. However, it was still some distance from Shen Ge, and there were two Demonized Rat blocking that way, so it was clear that they couldn't break through in the short term.

However, Shen Ge did not despair. If it were an ordinary Demon Beast attacking him like this, Shen Ge would really be in despair, but these mentally deficient demonic rats were not enough to make Shen Ge despair.

He may be outmatched, but that doesn't mean he can't escape.
