Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 257: Death Is Within Reach

That roar, with its extremely terrifying pressure and penetrating power, spread to every corner of the Tianchi Secret Realm, causing all the masters of the ten top sects to change color in horror and retreat in the opposite direction of the roar. They all thought that someone would surely die again this time, but no one had ever thought that the people who encountered this terrifying mysterious beast were actually the two top young people of the current generation!

Jasmine, who was concentrating on expelling the poison, was awakened by a terrifying breath. In Yun Che's mind, her solemn and surprised voice came: "What's going on? You actually provoked a Tyrant Mystic Beast!"

"Tyrant Mystic Beast?" Yun Che was shocked. The sense of pressure brought to Yun Che by this huge beast was far greater than that of the King Mystic Flame Dragon. But he never thought that this would be a Tyrant Mystic Beast! Because the level of Tyrant Mystic has never appeared in the Blue Wind Empire! It is a dreamlike existence that is almost mythical!

The powerful pressure from the Tyrant Mystic Beast made Yun Che and Xia Qingyue stiffen all over, their internal organs spasmed, and their heartbeats almost completely stopped. Wanting to fight a Tyrant Mystical Beast, or escaping from its claws, is undoubtedly a foolish dream. Yun Che gritted his teeth and said, "Jasmine! Is your power really completely sealed and can't be used at all?"

"..." Jasmine was speechless for a long time, her small eyebrows tightly furrowed. She didn't expect that Yun Che had provoked such a terrifying guy not long after she sealed her own profound power. But as she said, she couldn't remove the seal she had set herself, and Yun Che's only hope of escaping from this dangerous situation was completely cut off.

At this point, Jasmine began to regret it.

"You will definitely die this time." Jasmine said every word heavily.

"No!!" Yun Che shook his head suddenly: "I don't want to die yet... and I can't die!!"

"Qingyue... Let's go!!"

Yun Che gritted his teeth and roared. Under the pressure of the mountain-like momentum, he stood up with great difficulty, grabbed Xia Qingyue's hand, and fled forward with all his strength.

"Roar!!!"

Their actions caused the giant beast to roar in anger. Facing the direction where Yun Che and the others were escaping, the giant beast raised its right arm and smashed it downwards...

The whistling wind behind him made Yun Che look back subconsciously. The huge fist did not hit them, but fell at the feet of the giant beast itself, but it still made Yun Che's pupils shrink sharply. He hugged Xia Qingyue and jumped high with all his strength. "Burning Heart" was activated. As his profound energy surged wildly, a translucent barrier that enveloped him and Xia Qingyue at the same time instantly appeared around his body.

"Seal the Clouds and Lock the Sun!!"

Boom! !

Just like a heavy hammer from heaven hitting the ground fiercely, the entire Tianchi was shaking. If it was not winter, but summer, perhaps most of the water in Tianchi would be shaken into the sky.

A huge sense of crisis came from below. Yun Che, who had leaped high into the sky while holding Xia Qingyue, took a deep breath and used the Star God Fragment to rise again in an instant. Then he turned his body over, with his back facing downward, protecting Xia Qingyue in front of him.

"Yun Che...!"

Xia Qingyue's scream came, but was immediately drowned out by the earth-shaking roar.

After all, this was an indirect attack from the Tyrant Mystic Beast. Even though Yun Che had already leaped high into the sky, the impact from the rebound from below was still not something he could withstand. His "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" was broken in an instant, and a piece of broken ice and fine snowflakes hit his back. Yun Che's eyes bulged, and his face turned pale in an instant. A stream of blood spurted out of the air, and a small part of it stained Xia Qingyue's clothes, staining a small area of ​​her snow-white cloud dress red.

If it weren't for the protection of "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun", this would have been enough to kill Yun Che. He bit his tongue hard to prevent himself from falling dizzy, and used his profound strength to activate "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" again. At this time, an extremely terrifying scene appeared in his and Xia Qingyue's sight...

They saw an extremely huge head. This head was still dozens of feet away from them, but it had already filled their entire field of vision. On the head were two eyes as red as blood prison. The light released by the two blood eyes was focused on them. Then, it opened its mouth like an abyss towards them, and an extremely huge suction force came. The ice and snow that were shaken into the air... and Yun Che and Xia Qingyue who were hugging each other, all flew into the big mouth under this irresistible suction force.

Instinctively, Yun Che and Xia Qingyue shouted out, and Yun Che suddenly understood why the giant beast's attack just now was to hit the ground instead of hitting them. Because the giant beast knew that the Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus was taken by them, and now it must be on them. If it destroyed them, the Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus would also be destroyed. And the reason why it shook them up into the sky was to suck them into its stomach. In this way, it would be equivalent to swallowing the Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus on their bodies!

With this thought, a glimmer of hope for life flashed in Yun Che's eyes. Under the huge suction force, he and Xia Qingyue were getting closer and closer to the big mouth that was like an abyss. Under this suction force, even if he and Xia Qingyue used all their strength together, there was no possibility of breaking free. Yun Che stared at the front, and used all his strength to maintain the "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun". He held Xia Qingyue tightly with both hands and shouted over and over again: "Hold me tight... Hold me tight... Don't let go... Hold me tight!!"

Hu~~~~~

The eyes of Yun Che and Xia Qingyue suddenly became pitch black, and the giant beast's big mouth finally closed at this time.

The sound of the wind was still whistling in his ears. The moment he entered the giant beast's mouth, Yun Che felt that he had entered a dark, yet icy purgatory that was so cold that it pierced his heart... The temperature inside the body of this giant beast was much lower than the outside world where the wind and snow were blowing all day. Driven by the huge momentum, his body moved forward at a high speed in the constant collisions. In the darkness, it seemed as if he had experienced countless canyons and extremely long tunnels. He closed his eyes and tried his best to maintain the "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" throughout the process, because this was the only thing that could prevent them from being shattered by the impact during this process.

After an unknown amount of time, the impact force finally disappeared, and they landed on an extremely hard place and finally stopped.

The "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" that had been maintained all the time also dissipated silently at this moment.

After a long period of silence, Xia Qingyue opened her eyes. She realized where she was, but she couldn't believe that she was still alive... Moreover, except for a slight soreness in her body, she was completely unharmed.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the space around her, then stretched out her right hand. A ball of dreamy blue light condensed in her palm, barely illuminating the space within three feet around her.

This should be the belly of the giant beast, but surprisingly, it didn't look like the inside of a mysterious beast at all. It was like an ice cave, with an extremely hard bottom and long or short ice cones hanging around. The air here was extremely turbid and difficult to breathe, and the temperature was extremely low. Even Xia Qingyue, who had the Seventh Layer Ice Cloud Art and was extremely friendly to the water element, felt a slight discomfort.

"Yun Che, are you okay?"

Xia Qingyue called out softly, but didn't get a response from Yun Che for a long time. Xia Qingyue moved her palm down, letting the faint blue light shine on Yun Che's body, but found that his eyes were half closed, his face was as pale as paper, and a trace of blood was slowly spreading at the corner of his mouth... When her hand touched his body, she felt only coldness.

Xia Qingyue quickly half-knelt beside him, pressed her palm on his chest, and her voice became panicked: "Yun Che, are you okay?"

When Xia Qingyue sensed the flow of his internal energy, her palm trembled noticeably. Because his internal energy at this time was actually weak... like a baby.

Yun Che's eyes slowly opened a little, and a very slight smile appeared on his face: "It's... good... we are all... not dead..."

It was very difficult for him to say just a few words.

Under the giant beast's earth-shaking punch, Yun Che was seriously injured, but he had no time to adjust his breath, so he kept forcibly continuing "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun". "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" is not an ordinary profound skill, but a rampage skill belonging to the evil god! Although it is a rampage in terms of defensive ability, it is by no means an ordinary defensive barrier, but a life-saving skill that must be activated in a short moment. Every time "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" lasts for a breath, the profound power consumed is equivalent to launching a "Meteoric Moon and Sinking Stars".

From being shaken into the air to being completely sucked into the belly of the giant beast, a total of nearly thirty breaths of time had passed, and during this period of time, "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" had continued, otherwise, he and Xia Qingyue would have been killed long ago. And the continuation of these thirty breaths was a huge consumption that ordinary people could hardly imagine, and this consumption was still in the state of Yun Che being severely injured.

At this moment, it finally subsided, and his internal injuries had also increased several times, and his profound strength was completely consumed, without a trace of residue.

The internal injuries were extremely serious, and there was no profound strength to resist the cold. The terrifying low temperature here was depriving Yun Che of a lot of vitality every second. He felt that his body was so cold as if he was pierced by thousands of needles, and soon, this cold feeling disappeared bit by bit, making him gradually lose all perception of his body.

He smelled the smell of death, and it was also the first time that he was so close to death, within reach.

Xia Qingyue took her hands away from Yun Che, her eyes became confused: "Yun Che, you..."

"Qingyue... don't talk... listen to me..."

Yun Che's breathing has become extremely weak. The temperature here made his hands, feet, and body frozen stiff in this short period of time. His eyes were also colorless. He could still speak, relying on his strong consciousness to hold on, but he knew that this last consciousness could dissipate at any time...

Death came too quickly and suddenly.

"Qingyue... fortunately... you are fine... I should... die soon... after I die... don't... care about me... you are not afraid of the cold... maybe you can... escape from here... even if this... giant beast... is so scary... you must... try your best... to escape..."

"Yun Che! Stop talking! You won't die so easily... if we have to leave, we will leave together! You won't die!"

The disaster came too suddenly, and she was completely unprepared. Yun Che's internal injuries were extremely severe, his internal organs were almost shattered, and his vitality was so weak that it might dissipate in the next second. She knew why he was so seriously injured, and why he was so weak now... When he was shocked into the air, his back was facing down, bearing all the impact, but she was unharmed. In the process of being sucked into the giant beast's mouth and falling all the way here, the impact was extremely terrifying. Even if she cast the strongest ice crystal defense, it would be impossible to resist it. However, the barrier that had been guarding around them completely blocked all the impacts... It was undoubtedly an extremely strong defense barrier, and such an amazing defense barrier would be accompanied by huge consumption.

Yun Che could no longer hear her voice. His eyes were still half open, but there was no light in them. His limbs, body, cheeks, hair... were all covered with a thin layer of ice, and under the ice was a cold body that was about to burn out of vitality.

"Qingyue..." He whispered softly: "If there is an afterlife... be my wife again... okay... because... in this life... I haven't completely conquered you... I... am unwilling..."

Xia Qingyue's body trembled, and her eyes suddenly became blurred.

Yun Che's eyes also lost their last focus at this moment, and his whole body was motionless, only his throat was filled with an extremely faint voice from his soul...

"Grandpa... Aunt..."

"Senior Sister Xueruo... Jasmine... I'm... sorry..."

"..."

"Ling'er... I'm here to accompany you... Ling'er... Ling'er..."

The last voice was as weak as a breeze, and finally disappeared completely... A starlight that was illuminated into blue slowly fell from Xia Qingyue's face and gently hit his completely stiff lips.
