Chapter 1187 -619: Drawing Disaster Away _2
And upon hearing these words, the woman’s face immediately turned as white as snow.
Ta Yao shook their head and said: “Brother, the one who should stay is me. You should take the treasure and flee.”
No sooner had the words been spoken, the man beside her scolded: “What nonsense are you talking about at a time like this, Shi Er?”
“You have only recently broken through to the Golden Core Stage, and your strength is not strong. If you stay behind to cover our retreat, I’m afraid you won’t buy us any time.”
“Whereas I have been in the Golden Core Stage for several decades, and on top of that, I am already gravely injured. Even if by some fluke I escape, it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to shake off their pursuit later on.”
“In comparison, Shi Er, although you are injured, it does not greatly impact your strength, and the probability of you shaking them off and escaping is higher.”
“So it seems, it’s most fitting that I stay behind to cover the retreat.”
“How…how can we do this?”
Hearing this, the woman was momentarily at a loss for words. She wanted to refute the man’s argument but found no angle to do so, and could only stammer a hesitant response.
Just then, seeing the woman’s indecision, the man immediately began to urge her.
“Stop hesitating, and when the time comes, follow my plan!”
The man’s tone was firm, his expression clearly brooking no refusal.
At this very moment, Liang Zhuoshi, upon hearing her brother Liang Zhuoying’s words, immediately had tears streaming down her face and finally, crying, she nodded her head.
At this time, seeing his sister Liang Zhuoshi agree to his plan, Liang Zhuoying finally let out a sigh of relief, a bitter smile flashing across his pale face.
And in his heart, he had already prepared himself to go to his death generously.
But he was also very clear that, for the future of the Liang Family, for his sister to live, he had no choice but to sacrifice himself for that slim chance of hope.
If he did not do so, it was very possible that the Liang Family would be annihilated by their enemies, and his sister would also die before his eyes.
Neither of these possible outcomes was something he wanted to see.
As for his death, it would at least have some value, perhaps even the chance for the Liang Family to turn things around.
Understanding this, Liang Zhuoying did not hesitate at all, whether in his heart or in person, ready at any moment to self-detonate his Golden Core to buy time against the enemy.

However, before the enemies could catch up to them, the brother and sister’s speed underfoot did not decrease at all, leaving behind one mountain peak after another and eventually disappearing from their sight.
In less than half a Shi Chen, the siblings Liang Zhuoying fled all the way and finally arrived outside a densely vegetated canyon.
Just as they were about to catch their breath at the sight before them, they heard a jeering laugh behind them.
“Hehe… where can you brother and sister run to now?”
“Haha… Let’s see where you can run to this time!”
No sooner had the voice fallen, four figures appeared behind Liang Zhuoying and his sister.
These people wore Daoist robes of different colors, and the embroidery patterns on their chests were all different, obviously from different martial arts sects.
And indeed, that was the case.
Furthermore, all four were at the Golden Core Stage Realm, among them one was a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
However, that person had a pale face and a somewhat languid breath, clearly having sustained no light injuries.
And at this moment, when the Liang siblings saw the people who had arrived, their complexions turned even paler as they inwardly groaned.
“You old fellows, you’ve arrived quite quickly!”
Liang Zhuoying said coldly, his face undisguised with murderous intent.
In his heart, they had assumed that they would be caught, at the least, in an hour or perhaps even longer.
Yet, in less than half a Shi Chen, the enemy had already caught up to them.
Now that they were encircled once again, what awaited them would probably be a concerted effort to kill them.
Knowing this, Liang Zhuoying and his sister had already prepared themselves to make a last stand.
Just then, the four opponents exchanged glances.
Afterward, the Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator among them spoke first.
“Fellow Daoists, now that we have caught up to them, let’s act quickly and kill the two of them to prevent any further complications!”
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiong among the three nodded and then spoke in agreement.
“Luo is right!”
“We should take them down as quickly as possible, so we can hurry to the Liang Family Mountain Gate to assist. No doubt we will break through the Liang Family’s Mountain Protection Array more swiftly.”
As the voice faded, Li Ying took over the conversation.
“Um… Let’s take action!”
Upon hearing this, the four companions of Xie Xiong nodded at each other and then prepared to make a move.
Seeing this, the siblings Liang Zhuoying and Liang Zhuoshi’s expressions changed, and they hastily retreated several steps.
After steadying themselves, Liang Zhuoying looked at his sister Liang Zhuoshi, and the look in his eyes already conveyed his plan.
As for Liang Zhuoshi, though she was extremely reluctant, she could only express her acquiescence by giving a helpless nod in response to Liang Zhuoying.
Witnessing this, Liang Zhuoying was about to make a move, ready to fight with all his might.
It was at this moment, from behind the siblings in the canyon, a series of rumbling noises could be heard.
At the same time, streaks of faint light crossed through the somewhat darkened sky.
The sounds were intermittent, and the light of fire weak, seemingly unclear due to the distance.
However, all present were of the Golden Core Stage Realm, and relying on their Divine Sense, they sensed this disturbance immediately.
At this time, Liang Zhuoying, noticing these changes, had a shift in his complexion.
By this moment, although Liang Zhuoying’s expression was still unsightly, it was, compared to before, noticeably better.
Quickly, Liang Zhuoying covertly transmitted his voice to Liang Zhuoshi.
“Zhuo Shi, in the canyon behind us, there seems to be the presence of a fellow cultivator of the same stage,”
“Under the current circumstances, we have no way out.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s try to get inside and see if we can ask that Daoist friend for help, or directly drag them into the fray.”
Hearing Liang Zhuoying’s transmitted message, Liang Zhuoshi immediately understood her brother’s plan and his intentions behind it.
Liang Zhuoshi was no fool, in fact, she was quite clever.
In her heart, whether it was for her own sake or to ensure Liang Zhuoying’s survival, no matter how ruthless or malevolent the method, she was willing to give it a try.
Although such a plan of drawing disaster elsewhere was not honorable, she could no longer care about that at this moment.
Thus, Liang Zhuoshi immediately grabbed Liang Zhuoying’s arm and rushed towards the interior of the canyon without hesitation.
Liang Zhuoying, unwilling to be left behind, slapped his storage pouch as he retreated. A fiery red bead shot out from his hand, smashing towards the location where Xie Xiong and his companions were positioned.
At this moment, seeing the actions of the Liang siblings and the rumbling from within the canyon, Xie Xiong and his party also understood their intentions.
In such circumstances, Xie Xiong immediately leaped in pursuit.
Behind him, Li Ying and the other two, mixing shock with anger, also quickly caught on.
They too stepped forward in an attempt to prevent the Liang siblings from escaping.
Just as the four of them stepped forward, the fiery red bead thrown by Liang Zhuoying exploded right before their eyes.
“Bang…”
A loud boom resounded, accompanied by flames that soared into the sky, quickly forming a sea of fire.
At that moment, the powerful shockwave spread in all directions.
The four who had just shown themselves in pursuit of Liang Zhuoying were stopped dead by the fire sea created by the exploding bead for an instant.
Although the power of this fire sea was not incredibly strong, it covered a considerable area, and the impact force in its center was still sufficiently lethal.
Faced with such a tactic, even Golden Core Stage Cultivators had to evade its sharp edge for the sake of their own safety.
Moreover, in their eyes, the action of the Liang siblings was nothing but a desperate attempt to bide time.
Even if the two of them went into the canyon and gained the assistance of that oblivious cultivator, it wouldn’t change the eventual outcome.
Thus, the four forcefully halted their pursuit, planning to continue the chase once the sea of fire had somewhat dissipated and the Liang siblings had fled.
