Chapter 396 Why did she save us?
"who?"
Elder Ying's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his wrist, changing from a slap to a grab. Ghostly energy swirled between his five fingers, and he accurately grabbed the ice arrow.
"Crack!"
The ice arrow exploded the moment it came into contact with the ghost claw, turning into ice crystals all over the sky.
At this time, the old man from Japan, that is, the elder Shadow, finally saw the person who shot the arrow.
I saw Leng Hanyue standing quietly on the gnarled branches of an ancient tree not far away, her moon-white clothes fluttering gently in the miasma breeze, like a pure ice lotus in the turbid world.
In her hand, she held a longbow that was crystal clear and seemed to be carved from ten thousand years of ice. There were still slight vibrations of ice crystals on the bowstring.
Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost, and her eyes were colder than the ice bow in her hand, shooting directly at Elder Shadow.
"you again?"
Elder Ying's face was gloomy and ugly, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.
Yun Chen and others also noticed the person coming at this time, but they were stunned when they saw her.
"Why is it her?"
Yun Chen and others stopped and looked back at Leng Hanyue who suddenly appeared with complicated eyes.
"You guys hurry up, I can only hold on for five breaths at most."
Leng Hanyue's voice was as cold as ice, but it carried an unquestionable determination, and it was clearly heard by Yun Chen and others.
She did not look back, all her attention was focused on Elder Shadow. Three more solid ice arrows had already taken shape on the bowstring, exuding cold air and locking onto the target.
"Hmph, over your own strength!"
Elder Ying laughed in anger. How dare a junior in the Jindan stage stop him for five breaths?
The ghost energy around him exploded and swept towards Leng Hanyue like a black wave. Wherever it passed, even the air made a sizzling sound as if it was corroded.
He didn't want to waste any more time and wanted to crush this troublesome woman in one fell swoop!
"Ice Lotus, bloom!"
Leng Hanyue's eyes became fierce and he released the bowstring.
The three ice arrows were not shot in a straight line, but suddenly dispersed the moment they left the bowstring, drawing three graceful ice trajectories in the air, and then intersected and collided in front of her!
"Om-!"
A huge lotus phantom, completely condensed by the ultimate power of ice, suddenly bloomed!
The lotus petals are stacked layer upon layer, crystal clear, and exude an absolute chill that seems to be able to freeze time and space!
The lotus slowly rotated, firmly protecting the space of several feet around her.
"Boom!"
The black ghostly energy wave slammed heavily into the phantom of the ice lotus, making a dull loud noise.
The ice lotus trembled violently, and the petals were instantly covered with cracks, but it stubbornly did not break immediately, and managed to block the violent ghost energy out!
The two forces of extreme cold and evil eroded and offset each other frantically, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.
Leng Hanyue's face turned pale in an instant, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that maintaining the ice lotus defense was a huge burden for her.
But her eyes remained firm, and she formed seals with her hands, pouring out the ice spiritual power in her body without reservation, reinforcing the crumbling ice lotus.
"Go!" She urged again, her voice trembling slightly.
"Let's go!" Elder Lei made a prompt decision, took a deep look at the cold back of the man who was facing the peak Nascent Soul expert alone, grabbed Yun Chen who was still a little hesitant, turned into a beam of light again, and rushed into the distance without looking back.
At the last moment before Yun Chen was dragged away, he looked back and saw the ice lotus shattered by the impact of the ghost energy and turned into ice crystals all over the sky.
Leng Hanyue's figure slid back dozens of feet amidst the flying ice crystals. She barely managed to stand steady by leaning on her bow. Her breathing was disordered, and her moon-white dress was stained with bright red spots, obviously she had suffered internal injuries.
But she still raised her head stubbornly, and pointed the ice bow at Elder Shadow again, her eyes seemed to say: Two more breaths!
Elder Ying's face turned pale. He hadn't expected this woman's defense to be so tenacious. She had actually blocked him for three breaths! This was a great humiliation for him!
"Death to me!"
He was completely furious, and rushed forward like a ghost. His dry palm, with the power to tear through space, went straight for Leng Hanyue's face!
He launched this attack with anger, vowing to beat this troublesome woman into a pulp!
Facing this fatal blow, Leng Hanyue's eyes flashed with determination. She seemed to have made a decision, and a sealed power within her body began to stir...
However, at this critical moment——
"Five breaths have passed."
An indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Immediately afterwards, an invisible yet majestic pressure suddenly descended like the sky, covering Elder Shadow precisely!
Elder Ying's palm strike, which was determined to win, seemed to have fallen into an invisible quagmire. Its speed dropped sharply, and its power seemed to be weakened layer by layer!
His expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked up in the direction of the pressure, his eyes filled with horror. "Is this... the Confucian noble energy? There are also masters?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leng Hanyue did not hesitate. His body turned into a stream of light and shot backwards in an instant, leaving the battle circle and fleeing in the opposite direction of Yun Chen and others. He disappeared in a few flashes.
Elder Ying wanted to give chase, but was entangled by the sudden Haoran Qi. Although this Qi did not seem to want to fight him to the death, but was just an obstruction, it also made it impossible for him to escape in a short time.
“Bastard!!” Elder Shadow’s roar echoed throughout the swamp, filled with endless anger and frustration.
He watched helplessly as all his targets escaped, while he was repeatedly obstructed and didn't even get to see the person who had attacked him in secret.
"hateful!"
Elder Ying was furious, and the ghostly energy around him was boiling as he tried to break free from the restraints of the invisible righteous energy.
However, that righteous spirit was like a cancer attached to the bone, dense and tenacious. Although it did not attack violently, it locked the space around him tightly, making it difficult for him to move. He could only watch Leng Hanyue's figure completely disappear at the end of his sight.
"You idiot! Get out here right here!"
Elder Shadow roared to the sky, but all he got in response was endless silence.
If it weren't for that aura locking him in, he would have doubted whether such a person existed.
"Hmph! No matter who you are, if you dare to obstruct the Holy Sacrifice, you are our enemy! Once the Holy Sacrifice is completed, we will definitely liquidate you along with the Divine Thunder Palace and the Chaoyin Pavilion!"
Not getting a response, Elder Ying could only suppress his anger and utter harsh words.
After saying this, he did not stop. He drew the ghost energy around him inward, transforming it into a dark stream of light and rushing towards the direction of the Burial Dragon Abyss. His speed was even faster than when he came. It was obvious that he had turned all his anger into motivation to move on.
After Elder Ying's aura completely disappeared, the majestic aura in that area also quietly receded like the tide, leaving no trace, as if it had never appeared.
…………
In the distance, in a relatively safe ancient forest, Elder Lei set up a simple concealment barrier, and everyone was finally able to breathe.
Elder Lei's face turned pale. He immediately sat down cross-legged, swallowed the pill, and concentrated on regulating his breathing to suppress his injuries.
Although he was in the late Nascent Soul stage, the other party was in the peak Nascent Soul stage, and he was concentrating on protecting Yun Chen and others, so he was also injured.
Zhao Xiruo supported the frail Elder Lei, her pretty face filled with worry. Lin Wan'er also stood nervously by her side.
Yun Chen stood at the edge of the barrier, looking in the direction where Leng Hanyue disappeared, his brows furrowed and his eyes complicated.
"Why would she save us?"
Yun Chen couldn't understand.
