“Escape!” Rushou and Goumang hurriedly said.

They could not escape for they needed to rely on the Misty Rain Array.

Qin Yun did not hesitate at all either. As he maintained the Misty Rain Array to protect their surroundings, he quickly escaped with Goumang and Rushou.

The situation before them had exceeded their expectations. The enemy had produced thirty-two perfected Great Dao existences at once. Just this number stunned Qin Yun. Even the utmost confidence he had in the Misty Rain Array wavered… Could his Misty Rain Array withstand the combined attacks of the thirty-two existences? The silver-haired woman’s means were extremely powerful. If she combined her efforts with another one or two moves of similar caliber…

“Fellow Daoist Goumang, keep watch. As long as anyone dares approach the Misty Rain Array, I’ll pull them in,” said Qin Yun via a voice transmission. “The three of us can join forces to kill the one pulled in.”

“Alright.” Goumang nodded as well.

While Qin Yun and company fled, the thirty-two figures spoke out at the same time. “Do you think you can escape?” They then attacked at the same time.

Instantly, seven figures lunged towards the Misty Rain Array. The other fifteen figures cast out various long-range attacks from afar.

“Pull one in.” Rushou’s eyes flashed with a ruthless glimmer.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” Goumang reserved 43 vines to bind the giant, while releasing dozens of vines out of the Misty Rain Array, which rippled slightly and allowed them passage. The vines circled a magma creature, but it extended its arms and grabbed two of the vines.

The experts that came attacking were in all shapes and sizes. Some were in the form of mutated beasts, others spheroid, and the rest humanoid. In short, all of them were good at close combat. They cooperated and attacked together, instantly grabbing more than half of the vines Goumang had extended outwards.

“Come on out!”

“Come on out!”

These experts roared furiously as they yanked the vines in a bid to pull Goumang out.

Boom!

The collective yanking of ten plus experts sent Goumang flying up despite his formidable strength. He immediately willed it such that the grabbed vines tore apart before he found his footing.

“The seventeen perfected Great Dao experts are all good at close combat. I have no way of pulling one in.” Goumang looked at Qin Yun and Rushou with a rueful smile. “I believe my strength is comparable to the Ancestral Dragon who’s at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm, but I realize how huge the gap is when facing the combined forces of seventeen.”

“There’s just too many. How can there be that many?” Rushou turned flustered as well.

In contrast, Qin Yun’s expression was solemn and stoic.

“Boom!”

Into the distance, fifteen experts were casting long-range attacks. Instantly, there was a bombardment of frosty halo discs, streaking stellar light, or stars that resembled beads…

The seventeen experts who fought close up had a variety of styles. There was the common melee strike and others who increased in size, becoming even bigger than the Misty Rain Array. Then, they pounded the Misty Rain Array with both hands. There was a treant which grew countless leafy vines that wrapped around the Misty Rain Array and tightened its grip in a bid to burst open the Misty Rain Array.

The joint attacks of various natures instantly caused the Misty Rain Array to quake vigorously. The waves that rose above the surface were ten feet tall as they constantly diverted the impact.

“Sword Immortal Qin, can it hold?” Rushou immediately asked. He panicked when he saw the Misty Rain Array quaking so violently.

“It can hold if it doesn’t drag out.” Qin Yun nodded. “The silver-haired woman has the strongest attacks. The other thirty-one experts… are rather formidable, but inferior to her. Thankfully, among the thirty-two experts, only the silver-haired woman can be barely considered being at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. The rest are just ordinary Perfected Great Dao.”

The silver-haired woman was indeed powerful.

Her attacks trounced Goumang and Rushou while her defensive means were impressive as well.

“The other thirty-one added together equal about two or three of her,” said Qin Yun. “My Misty Rain Array drains me greatly every moment. By powering it with my Dharmic powers, I can only last about six hours. Together with my pills that replenish Dharmic powers, I’ll be able to last a day.”

At Qin Yun’s level, the amount of Dharmic powers he had was so massive that it was difficult to fully replenish his reserves.

Even though he had made sufficient preparations… all Qin Yun could do was last a day.

“I have prepared some Immortal Pills as well,” said Rushou. “There’s probably enough to last you two days.”

“The Immortal Pills I brought should be able to last you two days,” said Goumang.

“That makes it five,” said Qin Yun. “As long as their attacks do not increase in strength, I’ll still be able to hold out for five days. After the five days, we’ll be doomed when all my Dharmic powers run out.”

And elsewhere.

The mysterious existence was equally shocked. “It didn’t rupture? I paid the cost of damaging my soul to awaken all the avatars and control all of them at once to deal a combined strike; yet, the sword array hasn’t been cracked open? This sword array is too powerful. If I were to capture him and make him one of my avatars, this sword array would be mine as well.”

“When that happens, my defensive means will become stronger and my strength will increase greatly.”

“I, Fate, would then be able to prey upon even more experts in the spatial tides and grasp more powers.”

…

Qin Yun had long flown out of the mountain under the Misty Rain Array’s protection. They fled into the spatial tide at the fastest speed possible.

The thirty-two experts pursued and constantly attacked.

Across the massive spatial tide, a pursuit underwent.

“Why escape? Become one of me and you will still live.” The thirty-two figures persuaded while pursuing.

“We killed two and captured one alive. Combined with the other thirty-two… you actually have thirty-five perfected Great Dao avatars. Truly impressive,” said Qin Yun.

“They are all my envoys but they maintain their own senses.” The voice sounded. “You can also join. When that happens, we will all be partners.”

“No thanks,” continued Qin Yun. “You only sent the giant to deal with us in the beginning. It later failed, so you sent three envoys to deal with us. Only when two of them were killed did you deploy all your envoys. You’re either dumb by deliberately sending your envoys to their individual deaths, or it means that you pay a heavy price to control so many envoys at a time.”

“If it was simple, you would have sent thirty plus envoys at once the moment the giant failed,” said Qin Yun as he fled. “How much longer can you last?”

Qin Yun was speculating and also deliberately lying to his opponent.

“Guess. How much longer can I last?” The thirty-two experts spoke out in unison. “How much longer can you last maintaining this array formation?”

“Why don’t you guess too?” Qin Yun laughed.

The pursuit continued.

Qin Yun and company were out of solutions. All they could do was hold out.

The mysterious existence coveted Qin Yun’s strength. An expert’s defensive strength was of utmost importance. One had to live first before offensive measures were taken into account! From his point of view, Qin Yun’s was of greater value than the silver-haired woman he had previously claimed.

At the cost of heavy injuries and a damaged soul which would take long to recover, he continued the pursuit!

“I have to capture him at all costs. He’s mine.” The mysterious existence refused to give up.

Two hours, four hours, six hours…

The thirty-two experts continued the pursuit. In fact, at the perfected Great Dao level, they could easily spend a million years to achieve their goals.

“How long will they continue to pursue us?” Rushou looked at the pursuers who constantly unleashed attacks at them and wondered secretly, feeling a little unconfident. He then looked at Qin Yun who was maintaining the Misty Rain Array. “Thankfully, I invited Sword Immortal Qin over.”
