Chapter 418 Despair
Hearing Ning Chuyi's words, the emperor's face flashed with embarrassment.
No wonder those people stopped to watch Ling Chu cast a spell. Even he was shocked by the ability of Princess Jiashan. I didn't expect that the inconspicuous shovel and hammer were so powerful that they could stop the raging flood.
But seeing Ning Chuyi's cold expression and the hidden rage in his voice, the emperor guessed that Ling Chu's spell might not last long.
"Everyone listen to the order and evacuate immediately. If anyone disobeys, kill them without mercy!"
The people slumped on the ground, thinking that the crisis had been resolved. While resting, they turned their heads to see Ling Chu using the magical shovel and hammer to stop the flood.
Hearing what Ning Chuyi and the emperor said, his face turned pale. After rolling and crawling to his feet, he fled again in panic.
Ning Chuyi roared and turned back immediately.
His eyes fell on the thin back in front of him, and his fists holding the reins were clenched until his knuckles turned white.
Ling Chu ignored the people behind her. The flood was too fierce, and she didn't dare to relax at all. The spells in her hands changed continuously, and she kept chanting spells.
But as the flood hit wave after wave, the energy of the shovel and the hammer was rapidly weakening and gradually becoming smaller.
Ling Chu was getting more and more exhausted. In the middle of winter, her forehead was covered with fine and dense beads of sweat. Her face, which was already pale, turned three points paler.
But she could only grit her teeth and persist, trying to buy more time for the people behind her to escape.
Ning Chuyi's tall figure was like a statue silently accompanying her.
Seeing that Ling Chu's gestures for casting spells were getting more and more strenuous, and the spells she chanted were getting slower and slower, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if it was being fried in a frying pan.
If he couldn't interrupt the spell, he almost couldn't help but want to step forward and let her give up.
Yin Sha and Wei Feng stood quietly behind Ning Chuyi. The joy in their hearts had long gone. They had seen that Ling Chu had reached her limit, but the flood was still pouring in continuously.
Yin Sha looked solemn and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Feng was not as calm as him. His eyes kept turning back and forth between Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi, and he kept looking back at the people who were fleeing. He was worried, but since Ning Chuyi didn't leave, he could only wait anxiously.
Perhaps sensing the danger, the horses under the two men snorted frequently and moved their hooves restlessly. If the two horses hadn't been well-trained and hadn't been tightly held by Yin Sha and Wei Feng, they would have turned around and fled.
Just when Ning Chuyi couldn't help herself and wanted to rush forward to take Ling Chu away, she suddenly turned her head and looked straight at him.
"Go."
Ling Chu knew that he couldn't hold on any longer. The system was already warning frantically, and the energy was about to run out.
She wanted to ask Ning Chuyi to take Yin Sha and Wei Feng away quickly, but she was too weak to speak.
Ning Chuyi didn't hear her voice, but he could see what she was going to say from her mouth shape.
But he did not move, his eyes were glued to her face, "Together."
Ning Chuyi's eyes were firm, his expression was indisputable.
Perhaps in the face of danger, people's hearts are often particularly soft.
At this moment, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
In the face of life and death, there are very few people who can stay by her side regardless of everything.
Something in Ling Chu's heart was quickly breaking out of the ground, taking root and sprouting.
She looked back at him deeply, smiled, and opened her lips, "Okay."
Ning Chuyi did not hear her words, his eyes fell softly on her smiling face, but his face was still tense.
Ling Chu turned his head, looked at the shovel and hammer that were about to fall, and bit his tongue.
Taking advantage of the moment when the pain made his dizzy brain sober, he quickly recited the spell, made a few complicated seals with his hands, and quickly pushed in the direction of the flood.
The moment he touched the flood, an invisible high wall rose from the ground.
After Ling Chu waved his hand to take back the shovel and hammer, he immediately turned his horse's head and said to Ning Chuyi, "Let's go."
Ning Chuyi didn't say anything, and waited until Ling Chu passed by him, then he pulled the reins and followed.
Seeing that the two were finally leaving, Yin Sha and Wei Feng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rode to catch up.
The high wall could only block the flood for a quarter of an hour. Ling Chu pulled the reins with one hand and whipped the horse's back with the other hand.
Yin Sha and the others also urged the horses under their seats. They had to escape from this place before the high wall was broken by the flood.
Time was passing by bit by bit, and they were about to catch up with the people in front.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind, and the moment the high wall was broken by the huge waves, Ling Chu's eyes went black.
Ning Chuyi had been worried about her condition and stared at her almost without blinking.
The moment he saw her slip from the horse's back, he quickly leaned over from Ta Xue and stretched out his long arm. After catching Ling Chu, he exerted force on his waist and sat up quickly.
He lowered his eyes and looked.
Ling Chu had fainted, lying unconscious in his arms, her face as white as a transparent white.
If she hadn't been breathing slightly, Ning Chuyi would have almost thought she was dead.
The flood behind him was chasing him, Ning Chuyi held Ling Chu with one hand and pulled the reins with the other, signaling Taxue to speed up.
Perhaps knowing that the danger was not out of the way, Taxue ran forward like an arrow.
Seeing a sea of heads from afar, Ning Chuyi frowned tightly.
What happened to those people? They didn't even go up to Daluo Mountain?
In front, the people were looking at the suspension bridge in front of them with despair.
It's not that they don't want to go up the mountain, but there is a big river running across the front of Daluo Mountain.
If you want to go up the mountain, you must cross the bridge first.
But that bridge was neither an ordinary wooden bridge nor a stone bridge.
It was a tattered iron chain suspension bridge!
Once people stood on it, the bridge would sway violently, and there were very few places to stand, and the distance was far.
Even if they could barely walk up, they would fall into the surging river below if they were not careful.
Such a broken bridge, not to mention that the common people did not dare to walk on it, even the imperial guards with strong martial arts skills were scared.
Seeing Daluo Mountain right in front of them, but they could not cross it, and the flood behind them was about to catch up.
Some people cried in fear, and some cried in despair, "God is blind, why did he flood? I don't want to die, I haven't left any descendants for our family!"
The crying in the crowd became louder and louder, and the imperial guards did not stop it.
They had no other choice.
The emperor's face was dark, and when he heard the sound of horse hooves and looked back to see Ning Chuyi, he was happy.
But when he saw Ling Chu in his arms, his heart sank again.
The emperor originally wanted to ask her if there was any way to get to Mount Daluo, but she fainted.
Ning Chuyi had already seen the broken bridge and knew why everyone was trapped here.
"Can you wake up Princess Jiashan and ask her if there is any way?"
Although he knew that Ling Chu fainted and must be unwell, the emperor gritted his teeth and spoke when he heard the sound of the flood getting closer and closer.
Ning Chuyi pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. After a moment of silence, he finally looked up at the emperor's side, "Yuanzheng Sun..."
He wanted Yuanzheng Sun to feel Ling Chu's pulse to see if he was seriously injured.
But he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he saw Ling Chu weakly open his eyes.
