Chapter 234 Reinforcements Arrive
Chapter 234 Reinforcements Arrive
Time passed by like a slow-motion stream. Seeing the whirlwind getting bigger and closer to them, Rong Zhao and the others were helpless and could only set up a defensive barrier. Apart from that, they could only stare anxiously.
At the moment of despair, Murong Li suddenly showed joy on his face and his brows relaxed, which made Rong Zhao on the side very confused. He didn't know whether to laugh or continue crying.
Then I heard Murong Li's voice transmission:
"Rescue is coming!"
Rong Zhao was slightly stunned. Just after Murong Li conveyed the message, he also felt a large wave of familiar aura gradually approaching them, and his heart calmed down at this moment.
"A reliable friend is finally here." Rong Zhao thought to himself.
"Hey! Look who that is!" a familiar figure said with a grin.
"Stop it!" The woman, as always, couldn't stand the other party's unruly behavior.
After hearing this conversation, Rong Zhao knew without guessing who the two people who arrived first were.
"Hey! How are you, big brother?"
"Junior Brother Rong."
The one with a frivolous smile on his face was Fu Yifan, and the one who stopped him from committing suicidal behavior was naturally Ye Lan, the senior sister of Wushuang Peak.
"I think you're itching for trouble, Fu Yifan! How dare you run in front of me!" Ye Lan did not forget to scold Fu Yifan behind his back for being disrespectful to his teachers. The situation was obviously tense just a second ago, but now it was gone.
The fight between the two made Rong Zhao feel that they came not to help but purely to make people laugh.
Seeing the smile on Rong Zhao's face gradually fade away, Ye Lan also realized that their behavior at this moment was very inappropriate, and immediately lowered his head in shame. Seeing the annoyed look, Fu Yifan unconsciously closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"Senior Sister Ye, Junior Brother Fu, why are there only two of you?" It was Rong Zhao who spoke first to break the awkward situation.
Ye Lan was slightly stunned, and quickly explained with a straight face:
"Master was tripped up by an ambush set by the demons, so he had no choice but to let us come over to see what's going on."
"How did you find this place?" Rong Zhao asked puzzledly.
"Junior brother, you don't know that the demons have been making a lot of noise, causing some unusual movements in the sky above the Tianjian Sect. Anyone with a discerning eye has noticed something unusual, and all the traces point to the underground cave in the main hall. Junior brother Yifan and I thought about it again and again and decided to take the risk. We were so lucky that we just happened to find it..."
"Big Brother, don't listen to her. We were just lucky to run into this hole by chance." Fu Yifan wanted to say something, but Ye Lan hit him with a club, "Aiya! What are you doing!"
"How disrespectful! Call me senior sister!" Ye Lan said angrily after Fu Yifan exposed her lie in front of her.
"Senior Sister." After being scolded by Ye Lan, Fu Yifan called out reluctantly with his ears drooping.
"Well, it seems that Senior Sister Ye's decision is correct," Rong Zhao pretended to be calm and said seriously, "However, didn't Master Wushuang leave Tianjian Sect with all of you disciples? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"As disciples of the Tianjian Sect, how could we from Wushuang Peak be so afraid of death!" the two of them blurted out.
"It's rare that you two don't have a disagreement and act separately." Rong Zhao raised his eyebrows.
“Junior Brother Rong, you’re joking. This is a matter of life and death, so there’s no time for trivial matters.” Ye Lan took the initiative to explain.
Rong Zhao nodded casually. Just when he was about to ask something, the force on his hand suddenly increased, and then he heard a rapid shout.
Several people looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Murong Li who was ignored by the group. He looked pale and rolled his eyes at them in annoyance.
"If you guys keep chatting, I can't stand it anymore!"
At this time, Ye Lan and the others realized that there was another person beside them, and they quickly bowed and greeted him: "Meet Elder Murong, the head of Wuhen Peak."
Murong Li ignored the greetings from the two and kept urging them:
"You have no sense at all! Come and help!"
The two looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and injected spiritual power into the barrier against the whirlwind.
With the addition of Ye Lan and Fu Yifan, the barrier against the whirlwind became much stronger, and the one-sided situation changed slightly, but not much.
Seeing the whirlwind gradually invading the edge of the barrier, Rong Zhao knew that they could not hold on for much longer.
At this time, Ye Lan and Fu Yifan began to feel overwhelmed. The spiritual energy restored by taking the elixir was far from enough to replenish the spiritual energy consumed.
"Junior brother, do you have any way to break the impasse?" Ye Lan threw a recovery spirit into his mouth and asked sideways.
"If we hold on until the master of Wushuang Peak comes, we may be able to turn the situation around. Otherwise, we can only fight to the death." Rong Zhao thought for a moment and replied.
Ye Lan and the others immediately looked troubled, knowing that it would be difficult to escape from the entanglement of the demons. How could they not understand the implication of Rong Zhao's words? They then communicated with each other through voice communication to discuss the strategy of "fighting to the death".
Once the barrier loses its power source, it will be instantly shattered by the power of the whirlwind.
Before that, before Rong Zhao withdrew his spiritual power, Ye Lan and the other three had already withdrawn their spiritual power and retreated to the rear, while at the same time using various life-saving magic weapons and props to prepare for a desperate fight, while Rong Zhao stayed behind to cover the rear, which was also the result of their discussion.
So, the following scene happened.
Seeing that his spiritual power was gradually running out, Rong Zhao made a quick decision to withdraw his spiritual power. The moment he stopped supplying spiritual power, the cave was instantly engulfed by a strong light, and everything in front of him was white, and the explosion was even more deafening.
After the strong light faded, the cave became eerily quiet. Ye Lan and the others at the back were not greatly affected by the whirlwind, but their vision and movements were still affected by the thick smoke, and they all coughed violently at the same time.
Fortunately, the three were still conscious. After the smoke had dissipated a lot, Ye Lan carefully observed the surrounding situation.
There were traces of the explosion on the walls and the bottom of the cave, and rubble was scattered all over the ground. Following the traces, there was no sign of Rong Zhao.
The three of them walked on the road one by one, looking for Rong Zhao.
"Ahem... Has anyone seen Junior Brother Rong?"
Fu Yifan still felt very uncomfortable from the thick smoke. He covered his throat and nose and shook his head.
Ye Lan immediately turned his head to Murong Li, only to see that Murong Li's eyes gradually dimmed. Ye Lan suddenly felt extremely lost.
After walking for a long time, the three finally returned to the place where they met. The extent of the damage here was greater than expected, and the fallen rocks almost filled the cave entrance. If they were a little later, they probably wouldn't be able to get in.
"Quick! Smash these fallen rocks first!" Murong Li shouted hurriedly.
So, without further delay, the three of them showed their magical powers and used their own magic weapons to smash the fallen rocks into pieces. For a while, there were constant banging sounds coming from the cave.
Just when the fallen rocks were about to be cleared, a voice came from behind the three of them. The familiar voice made their bodies stiffen, and a murderous intent rushed straight to their heads!
"Oh? Are you looking for him?" the other party said.
As he spoke, a black shadow was thrown over, forming a beautiful arc in the air. Before Ye Lan and Fu Yifan could react, Murong Li rushed out quickly, stretched out his hands, and the black shadow fell right into his hands.
Seeing this, Murong Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Thank God!"
The next second, Murong Li suddenly turned pale, his body stiffened and he stood there blankly.
Ye Lan noticed that Murong Li looked flustered, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She asked tentatively:
"Uncle Murong?"
Suddenly, Murong Li's hands loosened and his arms dropped naturally. Then there was a "bang" sound, which was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
At this time, Ye Lan discovered that the "black shadow" was actually a body, and that body was the unconscious Rong Zhao!
“Junior brother!” Ye Lan was very excited to see Rong Zhao. She rushed towards Murong Li without caring about her ladylike image. She half-knelt and patted Rong Zhao’s face, “Junior brother! Wake up!”
However, no matter how Ye Lan slapped him, Rong Zhao did not respond. Ye Lan made a difficult decision, raised her arm, and tremblingly probed Rong Zhao's nose, but was shocked by the result. Disbelief was written all over her face. She sat on the ground, muttering to herself:
"This is impossible! How is this possible?"
Murong Li also responded at this time.
"The heart pulse has been cut off, there's nothing that can be done to save him!" Murong Li lowered his head, covering his face weakly, appearing extremely sad.
"Uncle-master, please tell me quickly, this is fake, right!" Ye Lan obviously could not accept this cruel result. He stood up suddenly and questioned Murong Li while pulling his arms.
"I'm sorry." Murong Li choked.
