Chapter 259: Escaping A Difficult Situation (2/2)

“Let’s go!” Pei Qiqi shouted as she dashed out from the belly of the mountain valley for the first time in ten days.

Cai Yuan followed her as the two of them whizzed towards the opening of the valley like two shooting stars, one blue and the other black.

With a sinister smile on his face, Ma Jiu said to his two subordinates, “Check this out! They’ve finally come out!

“Pei Qiqi must be running out of strength. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to come out of the spatial rift-filled area. It’s time for us to reap our spoils, my brothers! Pei Qiqi and Cai Lan’s little bastard. We’ve hit gold this time!”

Sinister excitement could be seen on Ma Jiu’s subordinates’ faces after they heard Ma Jiu’s stimulative words.

They were aware that the Dark Moon, as well as the Blood Skull and the Wild Fire, only awarded their members according to their contributions in various operations. Both Pei Qiqi and Cai Yuan were very important figures in Shatter City.

Capturing or killing those two would bring them more rewards than killing dozens of Greater Heaven stage experts in battle.

The thought of being able to receive a substantial amount of spirit stones, high-grade spiritual tools, and precious medicinal pills that would help them ascend to the next stage made the two of them unable to contain their joy.

Ma Jiu and his subordinates held their breaths as they meticulously lunged through the spaces between the spatial rifts that were coming at them.

“Stop them!” Ma Jiu shouted loudly towards the opening of the valley as he made his way through the spatial rifts.

His voice was so resounding that it was even able to reach the most distant corners of the mountain valley, let alone the opening of the valley.

Hiding behind a huge rock, Nie Tian yelled at the top of his lungs, “Copy that!”

“Hahaha!” After hearing that someone had responded, Ma Jiu couldn’t help but laugh broadly and say, as he watched the increasingly distant Pei Qiqi from behind, “Pei Qiqi, as smart as you think you are, you’ve made the wrong choice in your moment of peril!

“You’re still too young, and can’t keep calm at crucial moments!

“I’ve been intentionally driving you towards that opening. Did you really think I wouldn’t deploy my main force to guard that opening, and would let you pass as you wish?”

Ma Jiu sneered.

From what he could tell, the moment Pei Qiqi and Cai Yuan had decided to come out of their safe zone, they had become meat ready to be carved.

“Hmm?” At that moment, Cai Yuan, who was dashing at his maximum speed, recognized Nie Tian’s voice.

Since he had met and talked with Nie Tian before, he realized that it was Nie Tian’s voice the moment he heard it.

The fact that Nie Tian was calling out to them at the opening meant that no Dark Moon member was guarding that location.

In the same way, Pei Qiqi also felt relieved after hearing Nie Tian’s voice.

Since the distance between the center and opening of the valley wasn’t very far, and Pei Qiqi and Cai Yuan were dashing as fast as possible, they arrived within a short time.

Ma Jiu and his two subordinates also paid close attention to the opening of the valley as they avoided the spatial rifts.

However, to their surprise, the fierce battle they had been anticipating didn’t occur. Without encountering any resistance, Pei Qiqi and Cai Yuan flashed from one huge rock to another before finally disappearing from their sight.

As soon as Pei Qiqi arrived at the opening of the valley, she saw Nie Tian waiting there. Her bright eyes lit up as she slowed down said loudly, “Come with us!

“You and Cai Yuan stay close beside me! Don’t get separated from me by more than half a meter, or you’ll be in danger!”

Without waiting for Nie Tian to respond, she picked up her pace again and dashed forward.

Not hesitating for a second, Nie Tian followed.

Still trying to find his way out of the spatial rifts, Ma Jiu realized that something had gone wrong. “No, something’s wrong!”

Ma Jiu let out a thunderous roar. “Our blockade is no longer there! Everyone, after them! Don’t let them get away!”

Ma Jiu, who had been taking his time snaking through the spatial rifts, ignored the potential danger after realizing they were going to lose their target, and bolted straight through the network of spatial rifts.

ZZZZZLA!

His left shoulder and right waist touched two slithering spatial rifts, and bloody wounds were immediately cut open.

Ma Jiu bore the pain and urged his two subordinates, “Come on! Get out of there now! We can’t let them leave the valley!”

Those two snapped out of their reverie of receiving handsome awards after returning to their headquarters. They also broke out of the spatial rift-filled area after sustaining a few injuries.

Covered in blood, Ma Jiu shouted, “Go and get them!”
