Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Mont of Riot
At this mont, on the outer periter of the mountain enclosing the Yin-Yang Cave, the ice-blue lake ford by the constant flow of water from the Water Spirit Pearl started rippling. The previously calm and mirror-like lake surface began to grow restless and chaotic.
The flas released by the Fire Spirit Pearl had been surging through the ravines on the right side of the cave for many years, baking the surrounding rocks within a radius of a hundred ters into an orange-red hue, creating a peculiar region of fiery stones.
Within the fiery stone zone, no living creatures could survive. Initially a lifeless area, the mont the Yin-Yang Beast went into a berserk state, those quiet fiery stones suddenly erupted with raging flas.
From afar, the first protective array, the Blood-sucking Thorn Formation, also sensed the rampage of the guardian beast. The thorny vines that had tried to entangle Qing Xun had originally been controlled with Wood Magic—Qing Xun had commanded so vines to wrap around and attack each other, turning the tide of battle slightly in his favor.
However, the rampage of the Yin-Yang Beast caused the vines in the array to grow wild as well, abruptly stretching longer and thicker. Their original grass-green color turned dark red, and the vines under Qing Xun’s control stopped obeying his orders.
These were no ordinary thorny vines; they were blood-sucking thorns. If soone beca tightly wrapped by them, the thorns would pierce into their skin, drawing out blood from the body until the treasure seeker succumbed to blood loss and perished.
The sudden mutation startled Qing Xun greatly. He quickly retrieved the Bibo Moon Flute from his storage ring and, wielding the power of the divine artifact, launched into fierce combat against the blood-sucking thorns.
Infused with Qing Xun’s magical energy, the Bibo Moon Flute severed the thorns wherever it reached, and dark red blood oozed from their broken ends.
But in just a few seconds, new thorny vines would sprout from the severed ends, twisting and lunging viciously toward Qing Xun once again.
The blood-sucking thorns were nurous and agile. Qing Xun had to stay highly alert, listening in all directions and watching every angle, finding himself locked in a bitter struggle.
anwhile, in the second array, the Hurricane Sandstorm Formation, Yun Wang and Yun Cheng worked together using the Spirit of Xuanwu to protect Ye You and Qin Sisi, ensuring their safe exit from the array’s domain. When the Spirit of Xuanwu could no longer hold out, the brothers swiftly burrowed into the earth below.
The storm violently churned the very ground they burrowed into, peeling away layer after layer of soil as the hurricane’s sand and gravel grew increasingly chaotic.
If anyone appeared amidst the hurricane sands, they would be smashed into pulp by the countless flying stones and debris.
Yun Wang and Yun Cheng had no other choice but to keep burrowing further into the soil with their Earth Escape Skill, their family’s intrinsic Earth Attribute ability and their most adept technique.
Their speed underground was astonishing—on one hand fueled by their magical prowess, and on the other by the life-or-death desperation unlocking their hidden potential.
The storm’s ability to strip away soil began to take increasingly longer, and eventually, Yun Wang and Yun Cheng managed to leave the storm far behind.
Just when the brothers thought they had outrun the hurricane and breathed a sigh of relief, its intensity suddenly surged dramatically, whipping up soil at an incredible speed and sweeping toward them at lightning velocity.
Alard, Yun Wang and Yun Cheng scrambled to swallow a Spirit Revitalizing Pill each and imdiately burrowed deeper into the ground in an attempt to evade the storm.
However, the storm’s pace of displacing soil was unimaginably fast—quicker than Yun Wang and Yun Cheng’s burrowing speed—and was rapidly closing in on them. Anxiety grew heavier in the brothers’ hearts.
Watching the Yin-Yang Beast’s power ascend to the Eighth Order, Ye You finally resolved to retreat amidst the chaos. Certain tasks couldn’t be accomplished by sheer determination alone.
The opponent possessed strength equivalent to the Demon Lord’s level; continuing to fight would only end in pointless death for him and Qin Sisi.
Ye You leapt into the Invisible Bubble, gripping Qin Sisi close as they fled rapidly toward the cave’s exit.
Although the Yin-Yang Beast couldn’t see the attackers who had struck it initially, its heightened Eighth Order senses made it acutely aware of the subtle disturbances in the air—sothing was rapidly moving toward the cave’s opening.
The Yin-Yang Beast, wielding high magical prowess and not lacking in spiritual intelligence, deduced that its adversaries were attempting to flee after sensing the unfavorable situation.
With an enraged roar, it blinked with force using its right eye. From its gaze erupted a torrent of ferocious flas, sweeping across the cave’s vertical plane in an instant and racing toward Ye You and Qin Sisi at blinding speed.
Qin Sisi clenched her teeth, summoning every ounce of her strength to flap the Wings of Rainbow, while Ye You frantically beat his magical wings. Their speed had already reached its limit, but the onrushing flas seed faster still.
As the searing heat began to scorch their backs, two figures suddenly erged in Ye You’s line of sight, causing his pupils to contract sharply. His expression turned to a mix of hatred and relief.
Among the newcors was none other than Tian Xiaozi, the sworn enemy whom Ye You loathed to his very core.
The other figure appeared mysterious, with a ghastly white mask obscuring his face, his features hidden under an oversized black cloak that masked his physique.
Ye You couldn’t guess who the second person was, but being Tian Xiaozi’s companion, he was likely a close confidant and trusted subordinate.
The sight of Tian Xiaozi ignited clarity in Ye You’s heavy heart. If today’s calamity was unavoidable, then so be it—he would fight with everything he had.
Escaping would be a blessing.
But if flight proved futile, then he would drag Tian Xiaozi down with him, avenging his father’s death and eliminating the greatest threat to the Demon Sacred Realm.
In such a case, his mission would be complete, and he could die without regrets.
Moreover, with Qin Sisi by his side, the road to hell wouldn’t be lonely.
Only...
Ye You turned his gaze to Qin Sisi with guilt. His intention in bringing her to the Demon Sacred Realm had been to care for her and ensure her happiness, yet he had subjected her to countless trials and tribulations.
Ye You extended an arm and pulled Qin Sisi into his embrace. Locking eyes with her, he whispered softly, "Sisi, I’m sorry."
Qin Sisi lifted her head slightly to gaze at Ye You, her expression warm yet resolute. She leaned forward and lightly kissed his lips.
Ye You’s lips curled into a smile. With Qin Sisi beside him, even death seed less terrifying.
Grasping Qin Sisi’s hand tightly with one hand, Ye You swiftly condensed Fire Attribute Magic in the other, unleashing a Fire Dragon Lock Chain from his palm toward Tian Xiaozi.
Tian Xiaozi and the man in the black cloak imdiately sensed danger. After painstakingly tracking Ye You and Qin Sisi, they had arrived in haste.
Because the primary forces of the two outer arrays were entangled by Qing Xun and Yun Wang and Yun Cheng, the opposition they faced was minimal, allowing the two figures to enter the Yin-Yang Cave effortlessly.
They were secretly delighted, thinking their hard search had finally paid off without requiring much effort.
Perhaps Ye You and the Yin-Yang Beast had already weakened each other, allowing them to conveniently reap the rewards as opportunistic victors.
