Chapter 518: Healing
Fang Yue saw the black magic ball roaring towards him with overwhelming force. He knew the dangers of this attack, but he had no intention of retreating.
But just as he was about to fight back with all his strength, Ling'er beside him suddenly cried out in pain.
It turned out that Ling'er's vitality was almost exhausted from the confrontation with the black vortex and the many consumptions in the previous battles. At this moment, she was facing the powerful pressure of the magic ball.
Her body finally couldn't bear the burden, her vitality was disordered, and her nine fox tails dimmed instantly. The whole person was shaky and was about to lose her combat ability.
"Ling'er!" Fang Yue shouted anxiously, and his figure flashed to Ling'er's side and reached out to support her.
Ling'er's face was as pale as paper, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She supported her weak body and said to Fang Yue: "Brother Fang Yue, I... I'm afraid I can't help you, you must be careful."
Fang Yue's heart was full of heartache and worry, but the situation was critical at the moment, and he knew that he had to face the attack of the mysterious master alone. He gently placed Ling'er in a relatively safe corner, his eyes became resolute again, and he turned to face the rapidly approaching black magic ball.
Just as the magic ball was about to hit him, a strange light suddenly appeared on the ground under Fang Yue's feet. It turned out that this abandoned ancient battlefield had experienced countless battles and accumulated a large amount of soldier's evil spirit. At this moment, feeling Fang Yue's determination to go all out and his strong desire to survive and win, these soldier's evil spirits actually gathered towards Fang Yue on their own initiative.
Fang Yue only felt a powerful and cold force surging into his body. This force brought with it the decisiveness and endless resentment of killing on the battlefield in the past. At first, it rushed through his body and made him miserable. But Fang Yue relied on his tenacious willpower to forcibly suppress this force and guide it to merge with his own vitality.
As the soldier's evil spirit continued to merge, a layer of cold light appeared around Fang Yue's body, and his eyes gradually turned blood red, as if the soldier's evil spirit ignited the fierceness deep in his heart. The sword in his hand was buzzing, and the runes on the sword and the newly integrated power intertwined, exuding a chilling breath.
"Come on!"
Fang Yue shouted and rushed towards the black magic ball.
He swung the sword, and each sword at this time contained the sharpness of the soldier's spirit and the majesty of his own vitality. The sword shadows were heavy, like a ferocious beast rushing towards the magic ball.
The black magic ball collided with Fang Yue's attack, and a deafening roar suddenly broke out.
The strong energy impact spread wildly around, blowing all the remaining sand, stones, and debris in the ancient battlefield into the air.
Fang Yue felt as if he was in the center of the storm, bearing the huge pressure from the magic ball, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, constantly venting the power after fusion in his body through the sword.
In this fierce collision, cracks began to appear on the surface of the black magic ball. The dark power in the magic ball continued to flow out from the cracks, trying to repair the damage, but Fang Yue's attacks were continuous like a storm, not giving it any chance to breathe.
Finally, with a loud bang that shook the earth, the black magic ball could no longer withstand Fang Yue's fierce attack and completely shattered.
It turned into black fragments all over the sky, flying in all directions like raindrops.
The dark power contained in these fragments triggered a series of small explosions when they came into contact with the ground and air. The entire ancient battlefield was blown to pieces and filled with smoke and dust.
The mysterious lord widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
He didn't expect that Fang Yue could still burst out such a powerful force when Ling'er lost his combat ability, breaking his strongest attack in one fell swoop.
"You...how could you?" The mysterious lord roared, revealing a hint of panic in his voice.
Fang Yue did not respond to him, but just looked at him coldly. At this time, Fang Yue's eyes were red, and his aura became more and more fierce, as if he was a Shura returning from hell.
His figure flashed, and he rushed towards the mysterious lord like a ghost, and the sword in his hand brought a long sword shadow, piercing the mysterious lord's throat.
Seeing this, the mysterious lord hurriedly cast a spell to defend himself.
He quickly formed seals with both hands, and a black shield appeared in front of him in an instant. The shield was surrounded by magic energy, exuding a strong defensive power.
Fang Yue's sword pierced the shield, making a harsh metal friction sound.
The power on the sword and the magic power of the shield were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to tell who was better for a while.
But Fang Yue's soldier spirit in his body was constantly providing power at this moment. He suddenly increased the strength of his hands and shouted: "Break!"
The light on the sword was shining brightly, and the cold light formed by the soldier spirit was wrapped around the sword like a substance, and instantly broke through the mysterious lord's shield.
The moment the shield was broken, a powerful recoil force shook the mysterious lord back.
Fang Yue took advantage of the victory and pursued him. His figure was as fast as lightning and he appeared in front of the mysterious lord in an instant.
He did not hesitate at all and swung the sword again. This time the target was the heart of the mysterious lord.
The mysterious lord was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the chest by the sword.
Black magic energy gushed out from the wound, his face showed a painful expression, and he screamed.
"Do you think you can kill me like this?"
The mysterious lord gritted his teeth and said, although he was seriously injured, he was still unwilling to lose.
He began to burn his remaining magic power and tried to make a final struggle.
The demonic energy around him surged crazily again, and his body began to swell, like a balloon about to explode, preparing to die with Fang Yue.
Fang Yue felt the desperate madness of the mysterious Lord. He knew that once he succeeded in self-destructing, this ancient battlefield and even the surrounding large areas would be completely destroyed, and countless living beings would suffer misery.
But at this moment, although the Bingsha Qi in his body is still providing a steady stream of power, after the fierce battle just now, his own vitality has been severely depleted. If he wants to use the powerful sealing technique again or avoid the impact of this self-destruction, All extremely difficult.
Fang Yue's heart tightened, knowing that the situation at this moment was extremely critical. Staying here and fighting the self-destructed mysterious Lord would undoubtedly lead to death. Not only would his own life be in danger, but Ling'er, who was seriously injured, would suffer as well. No longer hesitating at the moment, he flashed and came to Linger's side in an instant, picking her up.
"Ling'er, hold me tight!" Fang Yue shouted urgently, with unquestionable determination in his voice.
Although Ling'er was extremely weak, she still obediently stretched out her arms and hugged Fang Yue's neck tightly. Her eyes were full of trust in the other party, and even though she was in a desperate situation, she didn't panic at all.
Fang Yue hugged Ling'er tightly, exerted force under his feet, and rushed towards the outside of the ancient battlefield like an arrow from a string. He used his fastest movement technique, and his figure turned into a blur of light and shadow in mid-air, bringing with it a whistling wind.
However, the aura of the mysterious Lord's self-destruction became stronger and stronger, and the destructive power surged from behind like a raging tide. Fang Yue only felt a hot and oppressive energy following him closely, as if it would swallow them up in the next moment.
"Brother Fang Yue..." Ling'er said weakly, her eyes full of worry.
"Don't be afraid, Ling'er, I'm here!" Fang Yue gritted his teeth and responded. He mobilized all the remaining Bingsha energy and vitality in his body and poured it into his legs, trying to speed up.
But the destructive power spread so fast that it was approaching in the blink of an eye. Fang Yue felt a blazing heat behind his back, as if a fire was burning. He knew that the force on the verge of self-destruction had touched him.
At this critical moment, Fang Yue's eyes were like lightning, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a hidden valley entrance not far ahead. There was a mysterious aura faintly exuding in the valley, and it seemed that there was some kind of power protecting it.
Fang Yue's heart moved, and he didn't care much at the moment, and rushed towards the entrance of the valley with all his strength.
Finally, at the moment when the power of destruction was about to completely envelope them, Fang Yue rushed into the valley with Ling'er in his arms.
As soon as they entered the valley, Fang Yue felt a strange force wrapping them up. The surging force of self-destruction behind them seemed to be isolated by this force, and the oppressive feeling of heat and destruction disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, staggered and almost fell. He stabilized his body and slowly put Ling'er down. Both of them were pale and breathing heavily.
"Brother Fang Yue, did we... escape the disaster?" Ling'er asked weakly, with the joy of surviving the disaster in his eyes.
Fang Yue nodded slightly and looked out of the valley, where there was still a scene of chaos and destruction. Smoke and dust filled the air, the earth trembled, and roars could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that the self-destruction of the mysterious Lord was still causing destruction.
"It's safe for now, but this valley is a little weird, we have to be careful." Fang Yue said, looking around cautiously.
The valley is filled with a layer of light mist, and there are faintly colorful lights flashing in the mist, as if countless secrets are hidden. The surrounding vegetation is also very strange. They are all spiritual plants and trees that Fang Yue has never seen before. They exude a refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.
Ling'er also noticed how extraordinary this valley was. She forced herself to stand up and stood side by side with Fang Yue, observing the surroundings together.
"Brother Fang Yue, the vitality here is so strong, it might help us recover from our injuries," Ling'er said.
Fang Yue frowned slightly. He also felt the rich vitality, but he was still a little worried in his heart: "Although the vitality here is strong, it is too mysterious. We cannot be careless."
As he spoke, he gently held the sword and remained alert.
The two stopped for a while at the edge of the valley. After observing for a while, they found nothing unusual.
Fang Yue looked at Ling'er's pale face and thought that this place might really help them recover from their injuries, so he said:
"Ling'er, let's find a place to rest first, recover some strength, and then see what's going on in this valley."
Ling'er nodded, and the two of them walked slowly towards the valley.
Along the way, they discovered that the spiritual plants and trees here seemed to have a certain pattern. In some places, the spiritual plants were distributed in a circular shape, with a stone emitting a soft light in the center;
In some places, the trees are intertwined with each other to form a strange arch shape, which seems to be a natural barrier.
As they walked, they came to a small lake.
The water of the lake is crystal clear, and there are colorful lights flashing at the bottom of the lake, as if there are treasures.
There is a circle of flat grassland around the lake. Colorful flowers are blooming on the grassland, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Brother Fang Yue, this place is so beautiful and feels very comfortable." Linger said softly, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Fang Yue looked at Ling'er and felt relieved: "Ling'er, you take a rest here, I'll check if there is any danger around."
Ling'er nodded, sat down on the grass, and began to try to circulate the chaotic vitality in his body, absorbing the vitality in the valley to repair the injury.
Fang Yue carefully patrolled along the lake. He found that the lake seemed to contain a special energy. This energy was different from the evil spirit of soldiers. It was pure and gentle. If it could be used, it might be of great help in restoring vitality. .
Just as Fang Yue was about to approach the lake for further exploration, a ripple suddenly appeared in the lake.
A golden carp monster jumped out of the water. It was huge in stature, and its scales shone with bright golden light under the sunlight. Each scale seemed to have mysterious lines on it.
After the carp demon drew a graceful arc in the air, it fell back into the water, making a large splash.
When the water splash dispersed, the carp demon's huge fish head poked out of the water, and its big copper bell-like eyes stared at Fang Yue, with vigilance and curiosity shining in their eyes.
"Humans, how did you break into this place? No outsider has ever set foot here." The carp demon spoke human words, his voice low and deep, echoing on the lake.
Fang Yue stopped, clasped his fists and saluted: "We are being chased by the enemy and have no intention of breaking into your territory. We hope for your understanding. We just want to take shelter here temporarily and will leave when we recover from our injuries."
The carp demon swung its tail slightly, and the lake water rippled: "You carry the blood and chaos of the outside world with you. This is our pure land and cannot be polluted by you."
Fang Yue hurriedly explained: "We have no ill intentions and do not want to destroy the tranquility here. My companion is seriously injured, and we just hope to use the vitality of this place to heal his injuries."
"She can stay, but you, human, must go!" the carp demon said.
Although Fang Yue was deeply reluctant to give up, looking at Ling'er's weak but pleading eyes, he knew that if he stayed forcibly at this moment, he would probably bring more trouble to Ling'er.
Now that the carp demon has let Ling'er stay, at least she can heal her wounds here, which is better than both of them being expelled.
Gritting his teeth, Fang Yue slowly put down the sword he had been holding tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, cupped his fists and saluted the carp demon:
"Lord Carp Demon, since you insist so much, I will leave this place as you said. I hope you can take care of Miss Ling'er because she is seriously injured, and don't let her be wronged or hurt here. ”
When Ling'er heard that Fang Yue was about to leave, her eyes suddenly turned red. She struggled to get up, holding Fang Yue's arm tightly, her voice filled with tears:
"Brother Fang Yue, don't leave. I don't want to be separated from you. We agreed to be together. I will be scared alone." (End of Chapter)
