Lin Hao, unable to persuade the crowd, stopped trying. The disciples and enforcers of these three families were ignorant of the gravity of the situation. They had seen the viciousness of the woman's attack just now, yet they still chose to rush to their deaths.
The people from the three families thought differently from Lin Hao. They knew they had little chance of winning, but it was precisely because of the woman's viciousness that they wanted to join forces with Zhu Sha, rather than wait to die.
At this moment, the woman stood at the back as dozens of martial artists surrounded her. She raised her arm, and a powerful gale condensed, carrying a terrifying force that swept toward the crowd.
"Evade the gale, scatter quickly!" An enforcer from the Luo family's expression changed drastically. The woman had used this move before to instantly kill the mother and child apes and the Thunder Mad Lion, causing the deaths of hundreds of fierce beasts.
Everyone had witnessed the terror of the gale. Some strong individuals could use wind to kill, and some enforcers from the Yu family could do the same, but the power of the woman's move was on a completely different level.
As the gale condensed, dozens of people scattered in all directions. They thought that as long as they avoided the gale, they would be safe.
However, the gale, which had just formed, suddenly exploded like lightning, turning into a dense stream of air that was hard to see with the naked eye. Each stream of air resembled a silver needle.
"Ah..."
"Impossible!"
In the blink of an eye, the people who had scattered in all directions were simultaneously hit by the air currents.
In just a few breaths, the dozens of people who had surrounded the woman were all struck by the air currents and died on the spot.
This scene made the Lin family members draw a sharp breath. Fortunately, they had not participated; otherwise, their fate would have been no better.
...
After killing those dozens of people, some local small forces were as silent as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly. The woman's power was beyond their comprehension, transcending the ordinary realm. Perhaps only the highest-ranking experts from the sects and holy lands could achieve such a level.
The next moment, the woman's phoenix eyes scanned the entire scene without any fluctuation. She opened her cherry lips and said in a voice like a spiritual sparrow, "Just now, who used divine sense to spy on me?"
Divine sense spying?
Upon hearing this, the surviving crowd exchanged glances, unable to understand the woman's meaning. Who would use divine sense to spy on her in such a situation? Moreover, among the families in Liuyun City, who had such powerful divine soul strength to be able to spy with divine sense?
Although they had these thoughts, no one dared to speak up. The woman was a ruthless killer, having slain so many people without blinking. Who would dare to respond to her, risking a wrong word leading to their head rolling?
The woman's strength was evident to all. If she truly wanted to, no one present could escape, it was just a matter of who died first or last.
"You... You killed so many people... Even if someone did use divine sense to spy on you, they should have been killed by you..." Suddenly, a young man from a local small family spoke up, stammering as he looked at the woman.
"You should leave quickly... With such a major incident in Liuyun City, experts from the sects and holy lands might arrive soon. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to escape!" Seeing a trickle of blood at the corner of the woman's mouth, a high-ranking member of a local family said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman pointed a finger, and a powerful force shot through the air, piercing the high-ranking member's head with a thud.
Seeing this, the young man trembled and dared not speak again.
...
"Stop." Just as the entire scene fell into a terrifying silence, Lin Hao surprisingly stood up.
"Hao'er!" Elder Lin Chen's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Was this boy looking for death? She was a complete devil, unpredictable and capable of killing without any reason.
Lin Hao ignored Elder Lin Chen. He looked at the woman and said calmly, "I used divine sense to spy on you earlier."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Hao. Someone had really used divine sense to spy on this woman?!
If that was the case, the reason for the woman's killings might be related to Lin Hao.
Immediately, many people cast angry and hostile glances at Lin Hao, thinking that if it weren't for him, Liuyun City might not have suffered this disaster.
Lin Hao didn't care about what others thought. Preserving his life was the priority now.
"You?" The woman sized up Lin Hao, her tone seemingly doubtful. A young man from a small place actually had such powerful divine soul strength, capable of spying.
Generally, only those at the Heavenly Spirit level could use divine sense to spy.
"Why did you spy on me?" The woman's expression was cold and unapproachable.
"Curiosity." Lin Hao had no interest in conversing with the woman. At this point, the situation was beyond his control. If the woman wanted to kill him, he had no way to stop her.
"Do you not fear me?" The woman met Lin Hao's eyes, which were calm and showed no emotion.
If he said he wasn't afraid, it would be a lie. Fear of death was a natural instinct. If one didn't fear death, they were not far from it. Most warriors who claimed to fear nothing were already dead.
"I fear death, but not necessarily you." Lin Hao said with a smile.
As Lin Hao spoke, the woman's mouth bled again. She tried to move forward but stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
Seeing this, some local families rejoiced. The woman's injuries seemed to be worsening, making it difficult for her to walk. Now would be the perfect time to kill her. Missing this chance might mean their own deaths later.
The woman saw the expressions of the local families and said nothing. With a flick of her finger, she instantly killed dozens of people.
At this point, the martial artists in Liuyun City were either killed by the fierce beasts or by the woman. Only the Lin family and the Wang, Yu, and Luo families remained, with their headquarters virtually destroyed.
...
"You kill because you are severely injured." Lin Hao suddenly said.
The woman looked at Lin Hao, and before she could speak, Lin Hao continued, "You fear your injuries worsening, and you worry that others might take advantage of you. Am I right?"
No one kills without reason. Lin Hao didn't think the woman was a demon. Given her severe injuries, he boldly guessed this.
The woman didn't speak, her gaze sweeping past the back before she walked forward.
The Lin family members didn't dare to move, watching as the woman approached. Only then did they see her face up close.
It had to be said, the woman's beauty was breathtaking, far surpassing ordinary women and even the renowned beauties from the sects and holy lands.
"You, come with me." The woman grabbed Lin Hao's collar and dragged him forward.
Seeing this, Yu Yao on the bell tower was shocked but was silenced by a look from Lin Hao.
No one dared to stop the woman from taking Lin Hao. The Lin family's high-ranking members didn't even dare to breathe loudly, let alone others.
Lin Hao, unable to move, didn't dare to resist. If he displeased the woman, she could crush him with a single finger.
The road was clear, and Lin Hao was quickly taken out of Liuyun City.
On the way, Lin Hao smelled the woman's alluring scent, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he was still a young man, and such thoughts were inevitable.
The woman's face grew paler, but the more so, the more delicate and vulnerable she appeared, making one want to hold her and cherish her.
"Where are you taking me?" After more than an hour, Lin Hao finally couldn't bear it. He had been dragged by the collar the whole time, which was very uncomfortable.
"Use your divine sense to spy on the back. Is anyone following us?" The woman suddenly stopped, dropping Lin Hao on the ground as if he were an object.
Lin Hao didn't immediately respond, falling into deep thought.
His divine soul strength was very powerful, comparable to the initial Heavenly Spirit level. He could勉强 use divine sense to spy, but only for a few miles. Moreover, he had already used it once and couldn't use it again immediately.
Of course, Lin Hao didn't dare to say this. He feared that the woman's purpose in taking him was to use his divine soul strength. If he said he couldn't use it, he would lose his value...
"Indeed, some powerful individuals are heading this way, and they are moving very fast. They are just outside Liuyun City now." Lin Hao said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, the woman asked, "How many are there?"
"How would I know how many..." Lin Hao thought to himself but said, "My divine soul strength isn't strong enough to determine the number. I can only sense that the auras of these martial artists are very powerful, at least at the Heavenly Spirit level."
The woman fell silent for a moment, then grabbed Lin Hao's collar again and took him away.
Lin Hao smiled inwardly. The woman was clearly being pursued. Even a fool could see that. With such severe injuries, she still had him use divine sense to check the back. If she weren't being pursued, it would be strange.
At this moment, the woman took Lin Hao into the Hundred Refinements Mountain Range. The exit ahead likely led to Canglang County. By tomorrow morning, they would enter Canglang County.
...
"If we enter Canglang County..." Lin Hao's eyes gleamed. Being with this woman, he would inevitably die. He needed to find a way to escape.
Canglang County was his father's territory. With his father's remaining strength, he might be able to fight the woman.
But Lin Hao quickly dismissed this thought. His father had a serious illness, nearly dying after the battle with the royal family. If he fought the woman now, his injuries might worsen.
Moreover, the Bai family had been searching for them, wanting to eliminate them. If his father's royal bloodline was revealed, the consequences would be dire.
