Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Hard resistance in adversity

I turned around suddenly and saw Wei Qing walking towards me slowly with a sinister smile on her face. Her injuries seemed to have recovered a lot, and it seemed that the previous battle had not had much of an impact on her.

"It's you!" I glared at her with gritted teeth, wishing I could tear her into pieces. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be trapped in this hellish place, and I wouldn't have lost hope of contacting Hao Yang.

"Yes, it's me." Wei Qing smiled contemptuously, "Why, do you hate me? It's a pity that you don't have a chance anymore. Today, I will make you pay for what you did!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Qing swung the whip in her hand and lashed at me fiercely. I endured the severe pain in my body and barely dodged her attack.

"You think you can kill me?" I snorted coldly, mobilized the remaining spiritual power in my body, and condensed a protective shield to resist Wei Qing's attack.

Damn it! My spiritual energy has been completely depleted in the previous battle, and I can't even use my full potential. If this continues, she'll wear me down sooner or later!

"Wei Yao, don't waste your energy." Wei Qing said with a sneer as she attacked, "This formation was specially prepared for you. There's no way you can escape!"

"Really?" I suppressed the turmoil in my body, and kept thinking back to Elder Wei's last words before his death, "Live... Live..."

By the way, Elder Wei!

I suddenly remembered that Elder Wei had once taught me some ancient techniques for breaking formations. Although these techniques required powerful spiritual power, I had no choice now!

"Wei Qing, do you think you can trap me like this? You underestimate me!" While resisting Wei Qing's attack, I tried hard to recall the formation knowledge taught by Elder Wei.

"Haha, you still dare to be stubborn even when you are about to die!" Wei Qing seemed to have noticed my intention and her attacks became more fierce.

"The sky and the earth are boundless, yin and yang are interdependent..." I chanted the spell in a low voice, quickly forming seals with my hands, trying to mobilize the surrounding spiritual energy and break the formation that trapped me.

However, this formation seemed to be preventing me from absorbing spiritual energy. The harder I tried, the more powerless I felt...

"Hold on, Wei Yao!" Just when I was about to despair, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears.

I suddenly looked up and saw an old figure not far away, struggling towards me... I gritted my teeth, beads of sweat dripping from my forehead. Wei Qing's formation was like an airtight cage, trapping me tightly. I tried to mobilize the surrounding spiritual energy, but it seemed blocked by some force, unable to reach me. My body grew weaker and weaker, and my vision began to blacken.

"What? You can't hold on any longer?" Wei Qing's sharp voice echoed outside the formation, full of mockery. "I advise you to surrender obediently, or you'll suffer further!"

"Don't even think about it!" I forced myself to stand up and glared at her angrily. Even if I had to fight to the last breath, I would never give in to her!

"Hmph, you won't cry until you see the coffin!" Wei Qing sneered, swung the long whip in her hand, and a sharp whip wind came towards me.

I barely dodged to the side, and the whip wind brushed past my cheek, leaving a burning scar.

"Is that all you're capable of?" Wei Qing continued to taunt him, "It seems like your abilities are just this good! I really don't understand why Brother Hao Yang would fall for a piece of crap like you!"

Hearing the name "Hao Yang" made my heart ache. Where was he now? Was he in the same danger as me?

"Stop struggling in vain, Wei Yao." Wei Qing's voice was like a venomous snake, entwining my nerves. "The more you struggle, the more miserable your death will be! I advise you to save your energy and think about how you're going to beg for mercy later!"

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. Elder Wei had said that the more critical the moment, the more important it is to remain calm and find a way out. I took a deep breath and tried again to mobilize the spiritual energy around me.

Suddenly, I felt a faint energy fluctuation. This energy was very weak, but it was like a ray of hope, allowing me to see the possibility of survival.

"Hahaha, are you still dreaming?" Wei Qing's laughter became even more piercing. "I want to see how long you can hold on!"

I tried to concentrate, trying to grasp that faint energy. At this moment, I felt something approaching outside the formation, and a familiar breath came... I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Hao Yang lying on a stretcher outside the formation. His fingers... moved.

Hao Yang! I saw him! Although he was pale and lying on the stretcher with a weak breath, he really came! My Hao Yang, even in a coma, could he still sense my danger?

I watched him eagerly, watching the stretcher being carefully lowered to the ground as Elder Wei anxiously examined his injuries. Hao Yang's fingers moved, as if grasping for something, his brow furrowed in agony. My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly, aching. No, I couldn't give up like this. I wanted to travel the world with him, grow old with him, and tell him in person that I loved him.

Wei Qing was still chattering away, making sarcastic remarks, but I couldn't hear her clearly. All I could see was Hao Yang, and my mind had only one thought: I must survive! I must survive!

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and focused all my attention on my inner self. Following the techniques taught by Elder Wei, I tried to mobilize the thin spiritual energy around me, gradually gathering it into my dantian. The spiritual energy in my dantian, which had been depleted, seemed to sense my determination and began to slowly swirl, forming a small vortex.

"Break!" I suddenly opened my eyes, poured all the remaining spiritual power in my body into my right hand, and struck hard at a node of the formation.

"You are overestimating yourself!" Wei Qing saw my actions and showed a contemptuous smile on her face, as if she was looking at a dying ant.

However, the next moment, her smile froze on her face...

However, the expected rupture in the formation didn't occur. Instead, a powerful recoil surged up my arm, causing my internal organs to rip apart. I groaned, a fishy-sweet taste welling up in my mouth. My vision went black, and I was thrown back, landing heavily on the ground.

"Yao'er!" Elder Wei exclaimed, desperately running towards me, holding me up, and anxiously asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"

I shook my head weakly, blood gushing from the corners of my mouth, staining my clothes red. I felt my vitality rapidly fading, and my consciousness began to blur.

"Hahaha, you're overestimating yourself!" Wei Qing stood not far away, looking at my miserable appearance, laughing smugly and arrogantly, "You think you can break my formation? You're just wishful thinking!"

I raised my head with great difficulty and looked at her distorted face, my heart filled with resentment and anger. I tried to say something, but my throat felt like it was blocked by a stone and no sound came out.

Elder Wei protected me behind him, staring at Wei Qing with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Wei Qing, stop it! You've already won, why bother to kill me?"

"Win?" Wei Qing laughed as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. "How can I say I won when I haven't even seen Wei Yao die in agony?"

After saying that, she suddenly raised her hand and launched a fierce attack straight at Elder Wei. In order to protect me, Elder Wei took the attack head-on, groaning, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Elder!" I screamed and tried to struggle to get up, but my body seemed to be falling apart and I didn't respond at all.

Wei Qing looked at us, her eyes filled with resentment and pleasure: "Just wait for your death! I want you to witness with your own eyes how you step into despair!"

I closed my eyes in despair. Was I really going to die here today? I hadn't traveled around the world with Hao Yang yet, hadn't told him I loved him yet, there were still many things I hadn't done. I couldn't just die like this...

At this moment, I suddenly felt a warm sensation in my right hand. I struggled to open my eyes and looked down. I saw that the spiritual herb I had been holding tightly in my palm was now emitting a faint light...
