Chapter 437: Falling into the Crack

Although Su Chen deeply regretted his soft heart for not getting rid of Lv Shimo, now was clearly not the time to regret. The most critical thing was to escape!

The piled-up snow and chunks of ice on the mountaintop, dragging along the snow and ice below, came rumbling down with enormous force, the snowflakes kicked up several meters high, nearly blocking out the sun!

What filled both of their ears was the roar of the avalanche!

"Husband, don't mind me anymore, just run for your life!"

Lin Ruoxue said in Su Chen's arms. Although she had never experienced an avalanche, she knew that surviving one was nearly impossible.

If both were to die, it would be better to save one of them. She knew she had no hope, but Su Chen on his own might have a chance!

When Su Chen heard Lin Ruoxue's words, he didn't pay any attention, because speaking would affect his running speed!

Moreover, how could he possibly leave her behind? Even if there was one in ten thousand chance, he was unwilling to give up on Lin Ruoxue!

No, even if there was no chance at all, he would rather die with her than watch her die before his eyes.

Su Chen's speed was undeniably fast, but no matter how he ran, he was overwhelmed by the roaring sound of the avalanche and the snowflakes and chunks of ice flying overhead!

Clearly, nearly the entire vicinity had been affected by the avalanche caused by the earlier explosion!

And the roaring noise was getting closer and closer to the two of them, about to engulf them!

Just then, Su Chen suddenly saw what appeared to be a fissure opening up in the ground ahead, about several meters wide!

Su Chen's spirit was instantly uplifted. He pushed his True Yuan to its limit, desperately sprinting and leaping forward non-stop!

Lin Ruoxue felt completely dazed, her ears filled with nothing but the ceaseless roar of the avalanche!

At that moment, the overwhelming snow had entirely enveloped the two, but in fact, the actual snow chunks had not yet arrived—the first thing to hit was the shockwave caused by the blast!

When the shockwave surged towards them, Su Chen slightly tilted his body, shielding Lin Ruoxue behind him to reduce the impact on her. If Lin Ruoxue were to be directly hit by such a massive shockwave, surviving would be nearly impossible!

Let alone Lin Ruoxue, even a building faced with such a shockwave would be instantly obliterated, and Lin Ruoxue was just a fragile woman, right?

He carefully picked up Lin Ruoxue and propped her against a nearby rock, then he sat down in the snow and began to practice the Nine Yang Divine Technique, focusing True Yuan to nourish the injuries he had just sustained.

This was not because Su Chen valued himself more than Lin Ruoxue, but because he knew that only if he was unharmed could he ensure the survival of both of them.

If it were just Lin Ruoxue on her own, she would simply be waiting for death here.

Su Chen had been through countless similar situations and knew that the more critical the moment, the more important it was not to be led by emotions. It didn't help at all; one had to calm down first, be as rational as possible—that was the correct approach.

After practicing the cultivation technique for about half an hour, the pain in Su Chen's back started to feel a bit better.

He hurried over to Lin Ruoxue, channeled a few strands of True Yuan into her body, and then stimulated her a few times with acupuncture. Lin Ruoxue slowly opened her eyes.

"Husband, are we not dead?"

Lin Ruoxue looked up at Su Chen in confusion and asked, thinking she was doomed when the terrifying blast and avalanche had come crashing down on them!

"With your husband here, how could I let my beautiful wife die?"

Su Chen said with a slight smile:

"If you died, where would I find a wife as beautiful as you?"

Usually, such a comment from Su Chen would have made Lin Ruoxue blush with shyness, but now she just looked around blankly and asked in confusion:

"Where are we?"

"We're in a crevasse. The avalanche was too fierce; we only survived by taking refuge here for the time being."

"Husband, you mean to say, we've been rescued?!"

A gleam of hope immediately sparkled in Lin Ruoxue's beautiful eyes. If possible, who would wish to die just like that?

"Saying we're saved is premature; we're just not dead for now."

Su Chen said with a wry smile. Right now, they were at most temporarily out of immediate danger, far from being truly rescued!
