What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Chapter 105 Desperate Situation

"Sister Ya Nan, if I can get you out of here alive this time, would you be willing to come with me to see all the mountains and rivers?"

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yanan was visibly shaken.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she nodded forcefully.

She pressed her face tightly against Lin Xiao's chest, her voice choked with emotion yet incredibly firm, and said, "I'm willing! Lin Xiao, I'll go with you, no matter what!"

"Good!" Lin Xiao shouted in a low voice, his eyes flashing with sharpness once again.

He held Qin Yanan in his arms, then suddenly shifted to the side to avoid the palm strikes from the two guards who rushed at him first.

At the same time, with a flick of his left hand, three runes gleaming with crimson light instantly popped out.

With a loud "boom," crimson flames swept out, forcing the guards at the forefront back several steps.

The two men's clothes sizzled as they were burned by the flames, and they screamed in agony.

This was a "Flame Talisman" he had prepared in advance, which could instantly form a wall of fire to block pursuers.

Taking advantage of the moment when the guards were blocked by the flames, Lin Xiao, carrying Qin Yanan, rushed towards the side door of the banquet hall without stopping.

That was the only gap he had just observed, and also the most likely direction for a breakout.

"Stop him! Don't let him get away!"

Qin Zhenhai roared, his spiritual power surged, and he raised his hand and waved.

In an instant, several sharp streaks of spiritual energy shot towards Lin Xiao's back.

With lightning speed, it instantly sealed off all his escape routes.

Lin Xiao sensed a strong gust of wind coming from behind him and dared not be careless in the slightest.

He quickly pulled a rune that glowed with a pale blue light from his pocket with his right hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the runes instantly transformed into a solid spiritual energy barrier, blocking his path.

"boom--"

The stream of spiritual energy crashed into the barrier, shattering it instantly.

The shockwave backfired, and Lin Xiao groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He stumbled slightly, but still held Qin Yanan tightly, ensuring she wasn't hurt in the slightest.

"Sister Ya Nan, just bear with it!"

Lin Xiao said in a low voice, his tone tinged with weariness, yet still resolute.

He knew that Qin Zhenhai was, after all, the head of the Qin family, and his strength was too formidable.

Each collision between the two drained a large amount of his strength.

If this continues, he will eventually be exhausted.

Meanwhile, the surrounding guards seized the opportunity to swarm forward, with four guards at the peak of Qi cultivation attacking simultaneously.

The palms clashed and struck towards Lin Xiao's limbs, clearly intending to disable his mobility before taking back Qin Yanan.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he leaped into the air with his left foot.

At the same time, two more runes popped out from his palm.

In an instant, two pale white wind blades, carrying a sharp aura, sliced ​​through the air and slashed towards the wrists of the four guards.

"what!"

Two screams rang out as the wrists of the two guards were slashed by the wind blades, blood gushing out, and their attacks instantly crumbled.

Seeing this, the other two guards paused their attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xiao landed, grabbed Qin Yanan, and charged toward the side door again.

At the same time, his body accelerated instantly, like a blur, and he rushed to the vicinity of the side door in the blink of an eye.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhenhai was immediately enraged.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Lin Xiao in an instant.

The pressure of the Golden Core Realm erupted once more, locking onto Lin Xiao.

At the same time, a ball of dark spiritual energy condensed in his palm and slammed it hard towards Lin Xiao's chest.

He used 80% of his strength in this attack, determined to kill Lin Xiao on the spot.

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted sharply. With no way to avoid it, he could only hold Qin Yanan tightly in his arms.

At the same time, he gathered most of the remaining spiritual power in his body into his palm and slapped it out as well.

Lin Xiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body slamming heavily against the side door wall, carrying Qin Yanan like a kite with a broken string.

Even so, he still did his best to protect Qin Yanan, ensuring she was not harmed in the slightest.

"Lin Xiao!" Qin Yanan exclaimed, quickly supporting his cheek, tears dripping onto his wound.

"How are you? Don't scare me!"

"I'm fine..." Lin Xiao shook his head with difficulty, blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in his body was rapidly draining away, and his limbs were beginning to feel sore and weak.

That attack just now almost exhausted all of his spiritual power.

In addition, his physical strength and spiritual power were already nearing their limits after his previous battle with Long Jingyuan and continuous use of runes.

But he can't fall!

He struggled to hold Qin Yanan, slowly stood up, his eyes still resolute.

The guards had surrounded them again, with three Foundation Establishment level guards standing at the front.

However, the three of them remained very wary of Lin Xiao and dared not approach him rashly.

They had all witnessed Lin Xiao's strength and knew that he was at his limit, yet they were still wary of the runes in his hands.

"Lin Xiao, surrender!"

Qin Zhenhai stood not far away, his face cold and his tone laced with sarcasm.

"You're already exhausted and there's no way you can break through with her. Why bother making a futile struggle?"

"Release Ya Nan obediently, and I'll grant you a quick death!"

"Impossible!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, each word distinct, "Even if I have to give my last breath, I will get Sister Ya Nan out of here!"

"In that case, let's die here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhai's eyes hardened, and he waved his hand again.

In an instant, several more cultivators gathered around.

These people were all at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and each of them exuded a sharp aura, completely different from the previous guards.

This is the Qin family's hidden trump card, which they will never use lightly unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, all these trump cards were unleashed, completely surrounding Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan, leaving them no room to breathe.

Lin Xiao forced himself to stand up. His spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to condense a single rune with his fingertips.

His face was as pale as paper, and blood kept dripping from the corner of his mouth, soaking Qin Yanan's clothes.

He held Qin Yanan tightly, his back against the cold wall, his eyes still sharp, but unable to hide the weariness and helplessness in them.

He gave it his all, but ultimately he was no match for Qin Zhenhai's powerful Qin family.

Qin Yanan hugged his neck tightly, tears streaming down her face silently.

She knew that this time, they might really not be able to escape.

But she had no regrets, only heartache for Lin Xiao who had gone to such lengths for her.

"Lin Xiao, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Qin Yanan choked up, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible as she said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation."

Lin Xiao lowered his head and gently wiped away her tears. His voice was weak but still gentle as he said, "Sister Ya Nan, it has nothing to do with you. I wanted to protect you myself. Even if it happened again, I would still do the same."

Looking at the two of them leaning on each other, Qin Zhenhai's murderous intent intensified.

At the same time, he raised his hand and winked at the Foundation Establishment expert beside him, saying in an icy tone, "Make your move! Kill Lin Xiao and bring Miss back!"

Several late-stage Foundation Establishment experts responded in unison, their spiritual power surging.

At the same time, he charged towards Lin Xiao, his palms intertwining with a destructive force that blocked all his escape routes.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes, holding Qin Yanan tightly in his arms, with only one thought in his mind.

Even if it means death, I will protect her until the very last moment.
