Chapter 426: Escape

The Poisonous Hitching Post was not fatal, but few were able to withstand the pain it brought.
Before Lan Shui'er could react, the blue light she saw pierced through her body directly. Layers of Gang Qi and Dharma power encircling around her could not stop this blue light at all. She felt a sharp pain sweeping through her whole body.
”Uh, ah...!”
This pain came too suddenly and impactful. Poor Lan Shui'er cried out without any mental preparation. The wave of her Dharma power began to become chaotic. Her blue robe expanded, and her body began to tremble violently.
She had never experienced such a sharp pain before. It spread from her flesh to her soul. She did not even experience it when she almost failed to pass the tribulation the last time. Her scream was sad and shrill, and her tears kept shedding.
”A good chance!” Upon seeing her condition, Zhou Bao was elated. He planned to kill her with his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.
But an accident took place again. Just when Zhou Bao was about to launch his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, the body of Lan Shui'er dispersed, just like bubbles, and disappeared without any trace.
It was an escaping skill!
Water-escaping Skill!
Lan Shui'er was a water monster and also a Four-tribulation True Immortal. She naturally excelled in Water-escaping Skill. She was attacked by Zhou Bao while unprepared and almost died from the immense pain. However, she managed to keep calm under these circumstances. As she thought of Zhou Bao's Sword Qi that could eliminate her, she displayed Water-escaping Skill without thinking. Otherwise, she would be killed in this sharp pain, which was not worthwhile.
Zhou Bao felt greatly relieved after she left. But at the same time, he knew that his Poisonous Hitching Post could only let her feel extremely painful for an hour. After that, he would face her revenge. By then, it would be quite difficult for Zhou Bao to fight her, who aimed at seeking revenge wholeheartedly.
If he faced it alone, he would not be so afraid. However, there were so many people on Tusk Island. If they died here, he would not be able to explain to others when he returned home.
Thinking about this, he forced himself to utilize his Real Essence. After that, his body ascended quickly. After a few breaths, he stuck his head out of the water. When he saw Tusk Island, he sighed and felt relieved secretly.
What he feared most was that Lan Shui'er would bring him to a seabed, which was tens of thousands of miles away from Tusk Island, in order to keep secret. If so, no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape from there. But now, since he could see Tusk Island, things will be much easier.
He jumped out of the water. Although he was severely injured, he felt things could be done much easier on land, compared to the sea. He breathed deeply and displayed Three Realms Division. After several teleportations, he arrived at Tusk Island successfully and landed on a beach.
The Void Traveller was still on the beach. It was still covered with a layer of obscure golden light. There were 10 people in total, including Great Dark Lord Du, Chen Dao, Ji Yeyue and so on, and they were all scattered around. Some were sitting, standing, chatting, or meditating. They were doing their own things and it was a harmonious scene.
However, they were no longer at ease when Zhou Bao appeared in front of them.
This was because Zhou Bao looked very shabby. Other than a pale face and bloodstains on his body, his black robe was fragmented. Worst of all, he looked very vulnerable. The Gang Qi encircled him was very thin, as if it could easily be pierced by a finger.
Great Dark Lord Du's expression changed. He rushed toward Zhou Bao and supported his teetering body.
”Zhou Bao, what happened?”
”Hurry up, leave! We must leave now. It's a trap!” Zhou Bao was not in the mood to talk nonsense and said rapidly. The anxiety showed on his face was not fake. Once Lan Shui'er recovered from anguish and launch the inhibition of Tusk Island, it would be too late for them to leave.
Great Dark Lord Du was alarmed when he saw Zhou Bao's appearance and sensed the condition of Zhou Bao's arm when he supported him. He could clearly feel that the bones in Zhou Bao's arm were shattered. They were broken into pieces, rather than just broken.
Zhou Bao is extremely powerful. I wonder who was able to break his bones into pieces? I guess bones of his other body parts were shattered as well. He must have suffered more severe injuries!
