Chapter 214 Survival from desperate situation
Chapter 214 Survival from desperate situation
At this moment, Lu Bao saw through Liang Daoqi's weakness and shot out his long whip like a sinister poisonous snake, attacking Yu Xingman behind him.
Liang Daoqi was shocked and secretly cursed him for being despicable and shameless!
Because he was distracted by defense, he was careless for a moment and couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was severely whipped by the whip, and blood instantly soaked his sleeves.
Seeing this, Li Hua was extremely anxious, and his swordsmanship became chaotic. The enemy took advantage of the situation and pressed forward, making the situation increasingly dangerous...
Bang!
sand!sand!
Shi Chen was knocked to the ground by the powerful blow, and slid more than ten feet on the ground before stopping in front of Liang Daoqi and Li Hua.
At this point, the two were already stretched thin and faced defeat within a few rounds. Shi Chen was drawn into the fray, forcing the attackers to halt their attacks, giving the two a moment's respite.
Shi Chen struggled to get up from the ground, blood oozing from the wounds on his body.
Lu Dabi leaped down from the air and stood before them, his face livid. "You do have some strength, but that's all. If you don't surrender within ten breaths, I'll kill you without mercy!"
Half of Lu Da's outer robe was burned, his hair was curly and burnt, his face was black and red, his protective magic weapon was also badly damaged, the veins on his neck were bulging, and his breathing was heavy and rapid.
Shi Chen sighed inwardly. Just now in the lightning and thunder area, if he had risked exposing his secret spiritual power and used it after severely injuring Lu Di Bi, he still had a chance to turn the situation around.
Or maybe he had set up a fifth-level defensive killing formation in front of the temple, and with the power of the formation he could have been on par with him, but now he has fallen into such a desperate situation.
If you can escape, you must remember this lesson. When you are out there in danger, you must plan ahead for your next move.
Although Shi Chen regretted not being fully prepared, he did not give up easily. He held on to his body and once again mobilized the little spiritual power left in his body, determined to make a final desperate effort.
Liang Daoqi and Li Hua also remained firm in their belief. They stood on Shi Chen's left and right, confronting Lu Xin, Lu Bao and others.
Lu Dibi showed his vicious side and shouted angrily: "Very good! Today is the end of you!" After that, he ignored his own injuries, mobilized his spiritual power, and attacked Shi Chen again.
Shi Chen's eyes were determined, and he dodged Lu Dibi's fatal blow with a flash of his body. His movements were already noticeably slow, and it was clear that he was not strong enough.
Liang Daoqi and the other man were completely unable to resist in Lu Dabi's territory. They were hit by the swords and spells of the besiegers. They were both seriously injured and fell to the ground, exhausted and paralyzed.
Lu Dabi stood still, ten feet away from Shi Chen, and roared, "Shi Chen, I will not fall into your trap again and fight you in close combat. You have cultivated both your magic and body to such a level, and you almost caused me to capsize. If I don't punish you severely, I will never be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."
With his hands slightly raised, more than ten emerald green wooden thorns appeared around Lu Dabi's body. They were lush green all over, and the tips flashed with cold light.
At the same time, countless vines and thorns suddenly emerged from under Shi Chen's feet. They were like ferocious devil's claws, climbing up rapidly.
Shi Chen controlled the hammer of spiritual consciousness in his sea of consciousness, ready to fight to the death.
At this critical moment, a monk appeared on the top of the mountain at the entrance. He was wearing a gray robe and carrying a long sword on his back. He stood firmly on the top of the mountain, witnessed the scene in front of the temple, and walked slowly towards him.
When the gray-robed swordsman appeared, Shi Chen and Lu Da simultaneously sensed it in their spiritual consciousness. Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Da was stunned, Shi Chen broke free from the vines under his feet and retreated several feet.
Lu Dibi came to his senses and glared at Shi Chen. Just as he was about to attack again, he looked at the gray-robed swordsman with fear.
The gray-robed swordsman approached with a leisurely pace. Each step seemed slow, yet he was instantly in front of the group. His gaze was clear as he scanned the crowd, finally settling on Lu Dabi. He said calmly, "You were the one who injured my Spirit Sword Sect disciple?"
Lu Dabi's heart trembled, but he said stubbornly: "Humph, you disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect don't know what's good for you and are courting death!"
"Fourth Elder, they wanted to steal the treasures we found, and Junior Brother Yu was also injured by them." Li Hua said anxiously with a face full of grief and anger.
The visitor turned out to be Qin Huaiying, the fourth elder of the Lingjian Sect who had entered Luolei Valley three years ago.
Fourth Elder Qin Huaiying snorted coldly, "How dare you! You need to give me an explanation for what happened today."
Lu Dabi said, "Don't bully me, sir. I'm not someone you want to mess with!"
The gray-robed swordsman said no more. The long sword behind him was unsheathed with a "clang" sound. He pointed the sword at Lu Dabi, and an unparalleled sharp sword energy spread out instantly.
Lu Dibi's expression suddenly changed. Feeling this powerful pressure, he secretly groaned in his heart.
Shi Chen noticed that Qin Huaiying was merely exerting pressure, not actually attacking. Puzzled, he observed carefully, realizing that Qin Huaiying was seriously injured, though he was concealing it brilliantly. But he had no time for reflection. He took out a high-grade healing pill and swallowed it.
Lu Dabi also noticed something, and forced himself to remain calm, shouting, "Don't think you can scare me like this! If I fight to the death, even though you are at the Fusion Stage, you won't be able to escape unscathed in your current state."
Qin Huaiying's eyes darkened as he looked at Liang Daoqi and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Liang Daoqi supported Yu Xingman and said angrily, "The three of us brothers discovered the secret realm of the temple. Before entering the temple, we met Senior Shi Chen, who asked us to go in and search for treasure. After we came out, we encountered the nine of them and were surrounded and killed by them to steal the treasure."
Qin Huaiying snorted coldly, turned to look at Lu Dabi, and said sternly, "In broad daylight, in my Spirit Sword Sect's territory, how dare you commit such a robbery? Do you really think that my Spirit Sword Sect is empty?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Lu Dabi's face, but he quickly turned fierce again: "Humph, treasures belong to the strong. If you are not strong enough, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Shi Chen took the pill at this time, and his injuries improved slightly. He watched the confrontation between the two sides quietly. He was also forced to be involved in this fight and was injured because of it. It was really an unexpected disaster.
The atmosphere became increasingly solemn at this moment. Qin Huaiying's eyes were wide open and the sword in his hand was trembling slightly, as if he would attack at any time.
Lu Bao and others behind Lu Dabi also looked nervous, but they still tried to remain calm and held their weapons tightly.
At this stalemate, the only female cultivator in the field suddenly spoke up, "If we don't fight to the death today, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape unscathed. Why don't we each make concessions and seek a proper solution?"
Qin Huaiying frowned slightly and said, "Humph, how can I forgive such banditry like yours so easily?"
Lu Dabi sneered, "I don't want to get entangled with you either. I'll return the Star Thunder Gold, the Rootless Thunder Vine, and the Sealing Thunder Crystal to you. How about we both call it a day?"
Qin Huaiying was silent for a moment, and then he glanced at Lu Dibi and the others with a sharp gaze: "Leave quickly, and don't let me see you again in the Lingjian Sect's territory."
Upon hearing this, Lu Di Bi and others felt as if they had been pardoned. They quickly put away their weapons and fled.
Shi Chen looked at their receding backs and let out a long sigh, his tense nerves finally relaxing.
Liang Daoqi put the unconscious Yu Xingman down, walked up to Qin Huaiying, and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Fourth Elder, for your help."
Qin Huaiying waved her hand and said, "You are both seriously injured. Take the healing pills first and recuperate."
Everyone took out the pills and swallowed them, then sat down to meditate and regulate their breathing.
Half an hour later, Shi Chen was the first to open his eyes. He walked to Qin Huaiying's side and said with a fist clasp, "Thanks to the elders for arriving in time, otherwise our lives would be in danger."
Qin Huaiying nodded slightly and said, "It's your fate. I just left the depths of the Falling Thunder Valley and passed by this place. I saw the secret temple realm appear, so I came in to investigate."
