Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Fighting for a chance in desperate situations

I suddenly opened my eyes, but saw Wei Qing standing beside me with a cold smile on her lips, and my hand was actually held tightly by her!

"You..." I was terrified and wanted to pull my hand back, but I found that my whole body was weak and I didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Sister, what you tried so hard to get, in the end, didn't it just become a wedding dress for me?" Wei Qing laughed so hard that her body shook, as if she had already seen my tragic end. "Don't worry, I will take good care of Hao Yang for you, hahahaha..."

"You dare!" I roared with all my strength, but I was as weak as a mosquito or fly.

"What am I afraid of?" Wei Qing laughed even more wildly. "Do you think you can stop me? Look at yourself now, like a dying ant struggling. How ridiculous!"

My vision gradually blurred, but I could sense that the formation was already shaky, as if it would collapse at any moment. I steeled myself, mustering the last ounce of my strength, pushing the power of the spiritual herbs to its limit.

"Yao'er, don't!" I heard Hao Yang's heart-wrenching cry, but he was stopped tightly by Wei Qing and could not get close to me at all.

"Hao Yang, I'm sorry, I can't let you..." I spoke with difficulty, but couldn't say a complete sentence.

I could feel my life force slipping away quickly, but I couldn't care less. I was going to take a gamble, everything I had, even my life!

I poured all my spiritual energy into the spiritual herb, and its light instantly became dazzling, illuminating the entire formation. The formation trembled violently, emitting a deafening roar, as if it would completely collapse in the next second.

"No! I don't allow it!" Wei Qing screamed and tried to stop me, but she was powerless.

I felt my consciousness gradually fading, but I still persisted and injected the last bit of strength into the spiritual herb.

"Yao'er!" Hao Yang's desperate cry echoed in my ears, but I could no longer hear what he was saying.

My eyes were completely dark, but I could sense a powerful force awakening...

"Yao'er, let me lend you a helping hand!" Elder Wei's voice suddenly rang out, filled with an unwavering determination...

As my consciousness faded, I felt a warm and powerful force pouring into my body, like a bucket of hot oil being poured onto a dying flame. I snapped my eyes open. Elder Wei, his silver hair disheveled and his face deeply wrinkled, stood behind me with a steadfast gaze, continuously channeling his spiritual power into me.

"Elder..." I weakly tried to stop him, but he shook his head, his tone revealing unquestionable determination, "Yao'er, you are the last hope of my Wei family. I will use my last breath to help you succeed!"

I felt a mixture of emotions, tears blurring my vision. How could I have deserved such a sacrifice from the elder? I gritted my teeth, channeling all my grief and emotion into strength. I frantically absorbed the spiritual energy transmitted to me by the spiritual herbs and the elder, directing it to impact every corner of the formation.

The formation trembled violently, emitting a heart-pounding roar, as if it would collapse at any moment. My body felt like it was being torn apart, and the intense pain almost made me faint, but I gritted my teeth and persevered. I couldn't give up, nor could I let the elders' sacrifice go to waste!

"No! You won't succeed!" Wei Qing was completely mad after seeing this scene. She rushed into the formation recklessly, her face ferocious, her eyes filled with hatred and madness. "Even if I can't get it, you won't get it either! I will destroy everything, and destroy you all!"

She frantically mobilized the demonic energy within her body and attacked me fiercely. I was horrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late. At the critical moment, Hao Yang broke through Wei Qing's obstruction and stood in front of me. He hugged me tightly, using his body to block the fatal blow for me...

"Hao Yang!" I screamed heartbreakingly, watching him spit out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.

"Yao'er, don't be afraid, I... I can still hold on..." He tried hard to force a smile, but his injury aggravated it, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"You...you all deserve to die!" Wei Qing roared, condensing the demonic energy again and attacking us.

My eyes were bloodshot, and an unprecedented power surged from the bottom of my heart. I tightly grasped Hao Yang's hand and roared at Elder Wei and Hao Yang: "Let's kill her together!"

Hao Yang smiled weakly, saying nothing, but hugged me tighter. Elder Wei stood in front of us, his hands flying, a startling light blazing from his cloudy eyes. He mobilized the remaining spiritual power in his body, building a solid barrier to protect Hao Yang and me behind him.

"Evil creature! Today, I will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven and kill you here!" Elder Wei roared angrily and took the lead in attacking. The crutch in his hand transformed into a golden dragon, roaring and rushing towards Wei Qing.

"You guys are dreaming!" Wei Qing laughed arrogantly, the demonic energy rolled and turned into countless sharp blades, fighting with the golden dragon.

I endured the excruciating pain in my body, desperately absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and channeling the power of the spiritual herbs, attacking the weak points of the formation again and again. I could feel the formation beginning to loosen, and the dawn of victory seemed just around the corner.

"Yao'er, try harder, you will succeed soon!" Hao Yang's voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of weakness, but full of encouragement and hope.

I gritted my teeth, concentrated all my strength on one point, and slammed it hard into the core of the formation.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the entire formation began to tremble violently, like a lone boat in a storm, which could capsize at any time.

My eyes went dark and I almost fainted, but I couldn't fall down, I couldn't give up!

"Yao'er!" Hao Yang's voice sounded in my ears, anxious and worried.

I tried hard to open my eyes, but everything in front of me was blurry. However, I could still see that a huge crack had appeared in the formation. Dazzling light shone through the crack, illuminating the entire dark space.

"Success! We succeeded!" I was ecstatic, but then I felt dizzy and my body couldn't hold me up anymore, so I fell straight back...

“Yao’er—” I heard Hao Yang’s heartbreaking cry, but my consciousness became increasingly blurred, and finally I fell into darkness…

"Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you..." A warm and familiar voice echoed in my ears. Who was it? Who was speaking? I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt heavy...

My consciousness drifted in the darkness, and I struggled to grasp at something, but all I could find was emptiness. My body felt hollowed out, without a trace of strength. Only the faint sound of anxious cries echoed in my ears, intermittent but carrying a warmth that reassured me.

"Yao'er... hold on... I won't... let anything happen to you..."

It was Hao Yang's voice! I wanted to respond to him, wanted to tell him that I was fine, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn't make a sound.

"Evil creature! Stop being so arrogant!" Elder Wei's roar penetrated the layers of fog and reached my ears, carrying a resolute murderous aura.

I tried to open my eyes, but to no avail. Was I just going to give up like this? No, I couldn't! I hadn't returned to Hao Yang's country with him, hadn't seen the sights I'd seen on the map with him, hadn't...

"Ah——" I heard Wei Qing's unwilling roar, and then a powerful force wave burst out from the center of the formation, blowing me away.

"Yao'er!" Hao Yang's voice was very close to me, but I couldn't see his face clearly. I could only feel his warm embrace wrapping me tightly.

"Cough cough..." I coughed violently, a sweet and fishy taste rising in my mouth, and my vision gradually regained some clarity. I saw Hao Yang's anxious face, saw the worry and self-blame in his eyes, and... a hint of despair?

"Yao'er, how are you? Hold on, I'll take you away right now!" Hao Yang's voice trembled. He picked me up and wanted to rush out of this crumbling formation.

"It's useless..." I spoke with difficulty, my voice hoarse, "The formation hasn't been completely broken yet... We... can't leave..."

"No, there must be a way!" Hao Yang's voice was full of unwillingness. He held me and looked for a breakthrough everywhere. However, all he was greeted with was despair.

The power of the formation grew weaker, yet it remained unbreakable. We were like trapped beasts in a cage, awaiting our fate. I looked at the man before me, the man who had risked everything for me, and my heart was filled with bitterness and reluctance.

"Hao Yang..." I stretched out my hand, wanting to touch his cheek, but it fell down weakly.

"I'm..." He held my hand, interlocking our fingers, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"If...if there is an afterlife..." I used up the last bit of my strength, trying to say something to him. But before I could finish my words, I felt a powerful force enveloping me, and everything in front of me began to twist and spin...

"No, Yao'er!" Hao Yang's shouts became farther and farther away, my consciousness gradually blurred, and finally I fell into darkness.

"Don't be afraid..." A warm and familiar voice sounded in my ears, "I will take you home..."

I tried hard to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds... Then, a hand gently touched my eyes and whispered, "Go to sleep..."
