"Why are the other demonic beasts also..."
On the mountain, Shangguan Mengqing vaguely saw many demonic beasts, all of which were consciously heading in the direction of Lin Ran.
These were originally monsters that would flock to anyone they saw without thinking, but now they've all gone mad and are crowding towards the northwest, as if they've been manipulated.
“These demonic beasts are also being controlled in that direction. Why doesn’t he try to escape? Or perhaps…” Shangguan Mengqing thought calmly. When she saw the golden light streaking across the sky, she thought of the cultivation technique Lin Ran was practicing. Perhaps it was because Lin Ran was practicing the Azure Emperor’s technique, which had an aura that the Void Evil Clan hated so much, that Lin Ran had nowhere to hide and was unable to escape.
If that's the case, with the current situation, Lin Ran might really be worn down and die there...
Without hesitation, Shangguan Mengqing transformed into a streak of light across the sky, rushing towards Lin Ran's location at full speed. When she encountered demonic beasts blocking her way, she brandished her Autumn Rain Sword, unleashing sharp cyan sword energy that rained down blood. Her eyes were fixed firmly and resolutely in that direction. She didn't know why she was making such a reckless and suicidal move, but she knew that if she didn't do it, she might regret it for the rest of her life…
……
At this moment, at the ancient city wall, the dilapidated city wall had long been destroyed by the Tai Shui Scaled Dragon, leaving only ruins. A raging fire burned on the vast grassland. On this open ground, Lin Ran casually killed a monster that pounced on him, stared at the Tai Shui Scaled Dragon in the sky, and spat a mouthful of sticky saliva mixed with a little blood to the side.
"That damned beast, why doesn't it come down? Has that female evil god Feng Lian already had such a big impact on this secret realm?" Lin Ran cursed under her breath.
Looking up, seeing the Tai Shui Lin Long about to launch another high-and-low bombardment, its body transformed into afterimages, dodging the dark red beam of fire.
"No, we have to try again!"
Lin Ran dodged the attack in a sorry state, and looking at the Tai Shui Lin Long charging up its energy again in the sky, he decided to try the method he had thought of before.
Lin Ran strode towards the ancient city wall, her feet hopping lightly across the rock face like a swallow. When she reached the highest point, Lin Ran suddenly bent her legs and pressed her body down.
The next moment, Lin Ran's figure shot out like a compressed cannonball. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Tai Shui Scale Dragon in the sky, Lin Ran gripped the Autumn Rain Sword tightly in his hand this time, once again circulating the spiritual power in his body and drawing on the earth's energy. The Autumn Rain Sword in his right hand shone with a dazzling golden light.
Lin Ran roared, "Under the flowers and the moon!"
The Autumn Rain Sword in his hand moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and hundreds of crescent-shaped sword energies swept towards the Tai Shui Scaled Dragon in a dense sword formation. The golden and sharp sword energy, with an indomitable spirit to cut through everything, easily sliced open the scales on the Tai Shui Scaled Dragon's body. The sword energy fiercely cut into the body, and dark red blood gushed out.
The corrupted Tai Shui Scaled Dragon tried to escape, but this time the Earth Sword Formation trapped it, leaving it no choice but to endure the crisscrossing sword energy slashing wound after wound on its body. When the golden spiritual energy collided with the dark red mist, it made a sizzling sound. The golden spiritual energy resisted the dense dark red mist on the Tai Shui Scaled Dragon's body, and the dark red light in the Tai Shui Scaled Dragon's eyes seemed to gradually dim.
The huge dark red wings on its back also turned into dark red light spots and dissipated. When the huge body of the Tai Shui Lin Long fell to the ground in pieces, it bloomed into a sky full of dark red blood rain. Lin Ran also fell from the sky and crashed hard into the flesh of the Tai Shui Lin Long.
"Finally, that beast is dealt with..."
Lin Ran gasped for breath, feeling as if many bones in his back were broken. He struggled to slide down the massive chunk of flesh from the Tai Shui Lin Long, aggravating his internal injuries and causing him to gasp. He wiped the sticky black blood from his face, ignoring the charging monsters, thinking he should hurry into the canyon to see if the bronze cube in his hand could open the spatial barrier. If he could get into that palace, perhaps he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as Lin Ran was about to set off, the ground suddenly shook violently, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground again.
At that moment, a wolf-like monster pressed itself against his face, its sharp fangs dripping saliva onto him.
Fortunately, Lin Ran reacted quickly and used the Autumn Rain Sword to jam the creature's fangs, otherwise she would have been bitten off.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
With spiritual energy surging in his left hand, Lin Ran blasted the damned thing into a bloody mist. Although his face was covered in blood, he wiped it casually with his sleeve. His vision was still a little blurry, but he saw something emerging from the forest to his right. As Lin Ran tried to see what it was, he felt a sense of danger. He instinctively tried to run away, but somehow his legs were tightly bound by dark red mist tentacles. The tentacles seemed to have sharp thorns that pierced into Lin Ran's legs, and intense pain surged through his nerves.
"what!"
Lin Ran couldn't help but roar. Just as he was about to swing his longsword to cut off the tentacle, something appeared on his left. A dazzling dark red light shot towards him. From that light, he sensed the taste of death. Just as he was thinking of using his sword energy to establish a defense,
He then realized that he had very little spiritual energy left, and he had also forgotten to take pills to replenish his strength during the battle. It could be said that he was now a fish on the chopping block.
"Am I really going to die here?"
Lin Ran thought unwillingly, this might be another time he's come so close to death. Will someone come to save him this time? Maybe his luck won't be that good!
"Do you remember you promised me one thing? I commanded you not to die. Can you do that?"
As Lin Ran's memories began to flash through his mind, a familiar voice clearly appeared in his ear...
"Is that... Meng Qing?"
……
Chapter 150 Breaking the Spatial Barrier!
Rewind a bit, and Shangguan Mengqing had already arrived near the ancient city wall, just in time to witness Lin Ran leap into the sky and slash the Tai Shui Linlong down from the air.
Before she could even catch her breath, she saw Lin Ran plummet straight down from the sky. Her position was obscured by the trees and monsters, so she couldn't see Lin Ran. She panicked and thought she should rush over, but then the ground suddenly shook, and the giant rock beast had arrived.
"shit!"
Shangguan Mengqing let out a soft cry and accelerated her pace. Enduring the pain in her chest, she finally arrived at the open area burning with raging flames in a very short time. Just as she was thinking of rescuing Lin Ran, she felt a sweet taste in her throat, and bright red blood turned into spots that stained her veil.
She clutched her chest tightly, as if only in this way could she alleviate the excruciating pain that made it hard to breathe.
But at this moment, the giant rock beast that had arrived on the battlefield opened its abyssal maw, and dark red energy points slowly condensed. Sensing the dangerous aura above and the direction of Lin Ran, Shangguan Mengqing wanted to speak up to warn her, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she could not make a sound.
Looking at the giant rock beast that was about to complete its power, Shangguan Mengqing gritted her teeth, took out a few small bottles, and stuffed all the pills into her mouth without thinking twice, her cheeks bulging.
He then forcefully cast the spell, rushing towards Lin Ran while forming hand seals and silently chanting, "Supreme Purity Technique of the Void—Break!"
Suddenly, Shangguan Mengqing's body shone with a dazzling pale blue light, and blurry, crooked characters floated faintly on her body. Her star-like eyes turned pale blue, and her pale blue dress fluttered. The previously disheveled Shangguan Mengqing now possessed a mysterious and ethereal aura.
"Moonlit Waterfall!"
She casually wielded the Autumn Rain Sword, its pale blue sword energy transforming into a vast, beautiful starry sky, adorned with rune-like characters. The next moment, the long-accumulated energy beam from the rock behemoth slammed into the blue waterfall. The runes flowing across the waterfall suddenly shone with a brilliant blue light, deflecting the dark red energy beam back at the rock behemoth. The destructive energy beam struck the unsuspecting rock behemoth, and with a deafening roar, its massive rocky body shattered into pieces, crashing to the ground, temporarily incapacitated.
Without any hesitation, Shangguan Mengqing immediately turned back to Lin Ran's side. The Autumn Rain Sword, gleaming with azure light, easily severed the dark red misty tentacles on Lin Ran's feet with its sharp sword energy. The tentacles turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air.
Seeing the large, bloody holes on Lin Ran's feet, from which blood was still flowing, Shangguan Mengqing tore open her skirt, revealing her long, fair legs. She used her spiritual power to seal the hideous holes in Lin Ran's body, and then used strips of cloth to cover the wounds, trying to stop the bleeding from getting too fast.
Shangguan Mengqing said those words because she was afraid Lin Ran would faint.
.....
Lin Ran's eyes were filled with blood, and all he could see was a blurry, blood-red blur. Feeling Shangguan Mengqing supporting him, he said with a bitter smile, "This time... you saved me again. It makes me lose face!"
"Shut your mouth!"
Shangguan Mengqing used the few remaining pills to force Lin Ran to speak by pinching her mouth shut, and then threw them in.
Lin Ran chewed the pill he had stuffed into his mouth. The cool medicinal power restored some of his vitality. He said seriously, "Meng Qing, how much spiritual power do you have left?"
"I don't think even at their peak strength, they might not be able to break through!"
Shangguan Mengqing's face was extremely gloomy. She looked at the demonic beasts that were closing in from all directions. They were so densely packed that there were hardly any gaps. The only way out was the ancient city wall, but the spatial barrier there was no different from a dead end.
"The surrounding monsters are closing in, aren't they?"
Although Lin Ran could hardly see it, she could still hear it. It was hard not to hear the earth-shattering roar of the monster.
"Ok!"
Shangguan Mengqing responded and then, with Lin Ran who was having difficulty walking, rushed towards the ancient city wall. All they could do now was pray that they could find a way to break the spatial barrier there.
Although the hope was slim, or even just wishful thinking on her part, at least the two of them could die a little slower over there.
Leading Lin Ran into the ancient city wall, after a long and winding walkway, Shangguan Mengqing led Lin Ran to a building on the rock wall. The building on the rock wall was like a corridor that had been cut off. There were hollowed-out patterns on the ground, and you could see the scene below through the hollowed-out parts.
Helping Lin Ran sit down against the rock wall, Shangguan Mengqing said in a low voice, "Let's take a look at the ancient buildings around here and see if there's a way to break through the spatial barrier."
"Hey, give me... wait..."
Lin Ran grabbed Shangguan Mengqing's arm, wanting to say something but involuntarily coughed, her hands rummaging all over her body.
Touching it, it seemed as if it wanted to take something.
"I'll give you anything else later!"
Shangguan Mengqing broke free from Lin Ran's hand and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from sight.
Lin Ran could only watch helplessly as a blurry, blood-red figure left his side. He was extremely anxious. He wanted to ask Shangguan Mengqing if she had brought him to the innermost part of the ancient city wall. If so, he would give the bronze cube to Shangguan Mengqing and try to open the spatial barrier.
He wanted to try telepathic communication, but because he had spent too much time mobilizing his soul power, drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth, or executing sword techniques during the battle, he was lucky not to have fainted, let alone telepathically.
Shangguan Mengqing had looked at all the ancient buildings and rock walls with pictures or words in the vicinity, but there was not much useful information. On the contrary, the overwhelming sound of the monsters was gradually getting closer.
This made Shangguan Mengqing even more anxious. However, the powerful aftereffects of using secret techniques and forcibly employing sword moves far beyond her capabilities caused her to feel dizzy and almost fall to the ground.
"Am I really going to die here? Oh well... perhaps this is the end I'm destined for..."
Shangguan Mengqing gave up the search. She returned to the building where Lin Ran was kept, sat down next to Lin Ran, and looked at the still conscious Lin Ran. Her eyes revealed a strange light, and she said in a hoarse voice, "We are going to die. Is there anything you want? I'll see if I can fulfill it for you. I still owe you three things, and I won't be able to repay them after we die."
Lin Ran wanted to yell back, but he was too exhausted. He had just managed to take out the bronze cube from his spatial ring and placed it tremblingly in Shangguan Mengqing's palm, panting as he said, "This...this is...the method to break through the spatial...spatial barrier...Quick...go quickly!"
As Shangguan Mengqing listened patiently to Lin Ran's words, she was taken aback. Looking down at the strange bronze cube in her hand that emitted a faint dark blue light, she asked, "Can this break through the spatial barrier?"
"Yes...yes, hurry up and...go there!"
Lin Ran felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Even though she had taken emergency pills, her body felt as if something had been drained from it, leaving her feeling empty and weak, and she wanted to collapse.
In Shangguan Mengqing's view, Lin Ran's neck already had dark red, spiderweb-like patterns, which were symptoms of demonic invasion.
"Oh no, we need to find a chance to expel the demonic energy from his body quickly!" Shangguan Mengqing slightly lifted Lin Ran's legs and saw the blackened wounds inside. She immediately realized the problem; she had been too slow in dealing with it.
"Can this... really break through the spatial barrier?"
Shangguan Mengqing looked at the bronze cube that was glowing with a pale blue light. As if in response to her call, the pale blue light on the bronze cube flickered slightly, which surprised Shangguan Mengqing.
The tremors in the canyon grew more and more intense. Shangguan Mengqing gritted her teeth, carried Lin Ran on her back, and leaped down from the aerial buildings. She arrived not far from the spatial barrier, glanced back, and saw that more than a dozen demonic beasts had already emerged from the bend in the road ahead.
The first few of the demonic beasts, those with the strongest Spirit Core Realm cultivation, charged forward frantically, baring their fangs and claws. Shangguan Mengqing looked at the bronze cube in her hand, quickly took a few steps, and came to the spatial barrier. She touched the bronze cube to the spatial barrier, but nothing happened. This plunged Shangguan Mengqing's heart into an abyss, and a sense of death-like fear surged into her mind.
But just then, Lin Ran's voice rang in her ears: "Try...try with your spiritual power. If that doesn't work...feel the blood dripping..."
"Spiritual power?"
Shangguan Mengqing came to her senses and poured the little spiritual power she had left into the bronze cube. The deep blue light of the bronze cube slowly lit up, and the runes on its surface seemed to move. Realizing that it was effective, Shangguan Mengqing gritted her teeth and poured all the spiritual power in her body into the cube.
"Crack!"
A sound like a lock being opened suddenly rang out, and Shangguan Mengqing's pretty face was illuminated by the deep blue light. Her pupils were filled with surprise. In the soft deep blue light, all the runes on the surface of the bronze cube lit up and moved quickly. They actually pierced straight into Shangguan Mengqing's brow, and a small ice-blue lotus-like mark appeared there. The bronze cube was completely destroyed and fell to the ground, truly becoming a useless piece of scrap metal.
At the same time, the invisible spatial barrier in front of Shangguan Mengqing suddenly lit up with a dazzling deep blue light. A deep blue light point quickly carved intricate patterns on the barrier, and an aura from the primordial era rushed towards her.
Shangguan Mengqing sensed that the invisible spatial barrier in front of her seemed to have been broken. When she reached out to touch it, there was no longer any obstruction. She led Lin Ran into the space that was radiating deep blue light. Looking back, she saw that the monsters that had been chasing her were all standing not far from the spatial barrier, their dark red eyes filled with fear and unease.
"We seem to be... safe... Lin Ran... you really succeeded!"
Shangguan Mengqing's words were filled with an excitement she didn't usually show. She was eager to share the news with Lin Ran, but she didn't hear a reply from Lin Ran.
When she cautiously looked at the Phoenix Bracelet on her hand and learned the result, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She could still feel Lin Ran's soul aura on it, but he was too weak and had fallen into a coma.
When she turned her head to look at Lin Ran's unconscious face, she couldn't help but gently press her slightly dry and pale lips against it, her eyes overflowing with tenderness, and said, "I will save you, wait for me... okay?"
……
Chapter 151 The Successor of the Mirror Moon Holy Emperor
As Shangguan Mengqing stepped onto the plaza steps, the spatial barrier behind her seemed to reseal itself. When Shangguan Mengqing looked back, she could no longer see anything. The demonic beasts seemed to have vanished into nothingness, leaving only an empty canyon entrance.
