Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 32.1 Escape - Part 1



"Wait, I think we have a problem," Ming called out in alarm as she raised her head to gaze at the door. "There are some strong individuals gathering around the inn. Some even entered inside, waiting in the restaurant downstairs. I only noticed just now as they seem to be blending in the crowd, walking back and forth the street."

"You stole my line. My ID Card just got blocked by the System," Xuefeng informed, pulling the girls up with him. There was no way they could continue their relaxation in such a situation.

"Isn't the time slowed down outside?" Tianshi questioned, fixing the clothes that Xuefeng messed up with his hands.

"It is slower but it didn't stop. They took their time to arrive here," Ming replied. "I thought it would be only those two from before, but it seems they already called for backup. They shouldn't be trouble for us. They are at most Immortal Stage."

Xuefeng already defeated one Immortal Stage Cultivator, so he wasn't particularly worried. It was always better to be cautious though.

"I can bet they were the ones who blocked my ID Card, so I can't leave the City," Xuefeng commented, pulling his pants up. "Let's depart now before it's too late."

Ming and Ling nodded, hugging into his body before entering inside him. Xuefeng quickly hopped from the bed and helped Tianshi as well, lifting her by the waist.

He didn't release her though, hugging her instead as he asked, "Can you see anything?"

Tianshi could see the near future, so it would be a shame if they didn't use her ability. She closed her eyes and placed her palms on his face without saying anything. Although the time was different for them, every second counted.

"There are a few possible futures. I can see us break through the inn and defend against five cultivators who doesn't hesitate but attack. It's a whole big mess. The inn is destroyed and people get hurt…" Tianshi shivered as she described one of the futures. "In the end, we still go out of the inn, forced to fly away under the barrage of attacks from tens of Cultivators."

"How about leaving through the window?" Xuefeng asked as he pointed at the two squares providing them last bits of sunlight.

"That's the second future. We burst out through the windows and immediately fly away. Before they realize what happens, we will already gain some precious seconds," Tianshi replied.

"Can we still leave the city without the ID Card?"

Tianshi shook her head. "I can't see that yet."

'I don't know the strength of the Safe Zone barrier but it definitely has some defensive purposes aside from invigilating ones. We should be able to create a small opening in it once we are behind the wall,' Ming informed.

'Won't that Almighty Spirit assist them?' Xuefeng wondered but Ming only snickered.

'Tsk, it's a battle between Spirits. Who do you think will win, two beauties or him?'

Xuefeng didn't need more, believing in her confidence.

Swoosh!

His Golden Wings burst out from Xuefeng's back, the mix of Fate and Air Qi looking as dominant as ever. They filled almost the whole room until he folded them.

"Shall we go?" Xuefeng suggested as he finally let go of her, gently holding her fingers with his own.

Swoosh!

Tianshi's wings spread out as an answer, ready to follow him into the fire. Gazing at her beautiful self, he couldn't help but pull her closer for one last kiss to give them both courage.

Xuefeng extended his arm to the side with their lips still locked and his Dragon Edge appeared in his palm. Its blue, scaled pattern glittered in the sunlight, announcing its readiness as well.

Mhmm…

Tianshi pulled away, yet Xuefeng suddenly pushed his tongue forward, tasting her own for one last time before finally separating. She pouted for ruining their romantic moment, but he only slid his free hand down and grasped her bottom in return.

He squeezed it firmly as he announced with a fake hero voice, "If I could, I would taste you for the last time but adventure calls. If we die now, just know that I love you and will always remember you."

Smack!

Tianshi slapped his behind in revenge for joking like this and pulled his hand away. "We will not die, now go. I will follow closely behind."

Xuefeng smiled playfully and finally turned serious. She could always bring him back to focus.

Multiple shields surrounded them as he extended his arm, swinging his sword at the wall.

Bang!

With one slash he unleashed the power of the Dragon, sending shock-wave that blasted the wall apart.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

They flew out swiftly, using the falling debris as the distraction when he received a robotic notification.

'Destruction of property. Ten thousand Credits deducted from your ID Card.'

'So when I destroy things, suddenly my ID Card isn't blocked anymore? Bullshit!' Xuefeng cursed only to be hit with another fine.

'Unauthorized flying within the Safe Zone. A thousand Credits got deducted from your ID Card.'

At that point Xuefeng already ignored the notifications, knowing very well he is not going to pay anything.

'Xuefeng, my ID Card got charged,' Tianshi called out in his mind as she followed him closely behind.

'Ignore it!'

A few seconds later after flying above the buildings, they received another fine for the same reason. It repeated every few seconds, charging them a thousand each time. It made them realize how oppressive this system was.

'You have a tail! Three Immortals, ten God Stages!' Ling reported, forcing him to turn around.

Thirteen cultivators in black leather uniforms chased after him, surprisingly keeping up with their speed. Every other second they teleported closer, gaining precious meters.

'Tianshi, go first and teleport towards the gates! I will stop them and catch up with you!' Xuefeng ordered as he folded his wings without waiting for her answer.

Xuefeng turned around mid-air and his body began to change. He grew taller and his muscles bulged, making his heavy Dragon Edge feel like a stick.

Titan Bloodline!

He could already see thirteen Cultivators had their armors activated, making his unrefined Qi useless against them.

But that wasn't his only offensive.

If he couldn't fight using his Qi, he could use brute force to push them back!

"Take this!"
