Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Danger is upon us again, and hope is shattered

As the old man exclaimed, I had no time to react before Wei Qing's black energy ball slammed into my chest. I felt as if my internal organs were being torn apart. The intense pain made my vision go black, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Puff!" I fell heavily to the ground, feeling every bone in my body shatter and even breathing becoming extremely difficult. I struggled to get up, but found that I had no strength at all. I could only watch Wei Qing walk towards me with a twisted smile.

"Wei Yao, you didn't expect that this day would come to pass!" Wei Qing looked down at me, her eyes filled with resentment and pleasure. "I've said it before, everything you have will eventually be mine! I want you to watch yourself lose everything and die in despair!"

"Yaoyao!" I heard Hao Yang's heartbreaking cry in the distance. I turned my head with difficulty and saw him struggling to stand up, but he fell to the ground due to his severe injuries. He watched me fall into danger again, his originally dim eyes filled with despair and pain.

Seeing Hao Yang in pain, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. I endured the severe pain in my body and wanted to speak, but I found that I didn't even have the strength to make a sound.

"Hahaha, don't waste your energy!" Wei Qing laughed sharply. "I've completely sealed your spiritual power. Now you're no different from a useless person!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a black ball of energy condensed in her hand again, emitting a heart-pounding and terrifying aura.

"Go to hell, Wei Yao!" Wei Qing roared with a ferocious face, and the energy ball in her hand smashed down at me with the power to destroy the world.

I closed my eyes in despair. Am I really going to die here today?

"Stop!" At this critical moment, a roar suddenly came from behind me, and an old figure stood in front of me.

"It's you?!" Wei Qing's face suddenly became extremely ugly when she saw the person coming.

I tried hard to open my eyes, and saw an old man in a gray robe standing in front of me. His back was hunched, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but his eyes were extremely firm, like a towering mountain, unshakable.

"Senior..." I called out weakly, a glimmer of hope igniting in my heart.

"Don't be afraid, child. I'm here, no one can hurt you." The old man turned his head and gave me a kind smile. Then he turned around and faced Wei Qing, saying in a deep voice, "Wei Qing, you've already gone astray. Why don't you turn back?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wei Qing roared, "No one can stop me today!"

Before she finished her words, she once again condensed a black ball of energy and smashed it hard at the old man.

The old man sighed, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly raised his hand and waved it gently...

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Wei Qing's attack was easily resolved by the old man, but she did not retreat. Instead, she rushed towards me even more frantically.

"Yaoyao, go away!" The old man suddenly roared and pushed me away.

Before I could react, I felt a powerful force knock me over and I fell heavily to the ground.

"Senior!" I exclaimed, trying to get up, but I saw a scene that I will never forget...

In an attempt to protect me, the old man was struck in the chest by Wei Qing. He flew backward like a kite with its string cut, blood gushing out...

"No!" I screamed out with my eyes bloodshot and my lungs broken.

Wei Qing, I want you to pay for your blood debt with blood!

"Yaoyao! Go!" The old man's voice faded away, carried by the wind past my ears. My heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, the excruciating pain choking me. I watched helplessly as Wei Qing beat him to death to protect me, his blood staining half the sky red, but I was powerless to do anything.

Anger, hatred, despair, all sorts of emotions washed over me like waves. I struggled to get up, but my body felt like it was falling apart, and the excruciating pain made it impossible for me to move.

"What? Are you feeling bad?" Wei Qing approached slowly with a victorious demeanor, a sickening sneer on her face. "What a pity, it's too late! You should go and keep him company!"

The black energy ball condensed in her hand again, emitting a chilling aura. I closed my eyes in despair. Am I really going to die here?

"Boom!" The expected severe pain did not come. I opened my eyes in confusion, but saw that Hao Yang had stood in front of me at some point and took Wei Qing's attack head-on.

"Hao Yang!" I shouted heartbreakingly, but he had already passed out, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Hahaha, how touching!" Wei Qing laughed even more wildly as she watched this scene. "Unfortunately, none of you will leave here alive today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two figures fell from the sky and landed in front of me. They were Hao Shuang and Wei Xue. They looked at my miserable state with expressions of gloating on their faces.

"Wei Yao, you've finally come to this!" Wei Xue's eyes flashed with resentment. "Haven't you always been so proud? Why are you acting like a lost dog now?"

"Don't think you can escape!" Hao Shuang sneered, "Today is the day you die!"

The three of them surrounded me, black energy balls gathering in their hands, as if they were about to tear me to pieces in the next second. I closed my eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" Deafening explosions echoed in my ears. I felt like a small boat on the ocean, relentlessly battered by the waves, threatened to shatter at any moment. I dodged here and there, desperately trying to escape this deadly place, but the attacks of the three of them clung to me like maggots on my tarsal bones, leaving me no chance to breathe.

I was covered in fresh wounds, my clothes stained red with blood, and the excruciating pain nearly made me lose consciousness. However, when I thought of the old man who had sacrificed his life to protect me, and of Hao Yang who had been seriously injured saving me, I gritted my teeth and persevered, not letting myself collapse.

"Give up, Wei Yao, you can't escape!" Wei Qing's voice was full of teasing and cruelty. "Surrender obediently, and I'll consider giving you a quick death!"

"Dream on!" I endured the severe pain in my body, stood up with difficulty, and looked at them with a firm gaze. "Even if I die, I will never surrender to you!"

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for it!" A fierce look flashed in Wei Qing's eyes, and the energy ball in her hand shone brightly. "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

At this moment, a weak voice suddenly rang out: "Stop! You evil creatures, why don't you stop it now!"

I turned my head with difficulty and saw that the old man had appeared not far away. He was pale and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Senior!" I was ecstatic, as if I had grabbed the last straw.

However, a painful expression appeared on the old man's face. He stretched out his hand to stop Wei Qing's attack, but found that his body seemed to be restrained by something and he could not move.

"Hahaha, old man, you can't even protect yourself, and you still want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?" Wei Qing smiled even more triumphantly upon seeing this. "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

The energy ball in her hand glowed brighter and brighter, and was about to hit me.

"Yaoyao, get out of the way!" The old man's voice was filled with anxiety and worry, but it was too late...

"No!"

"No!" I closed my eyes in despair, awaiting death. However, the expected excruciating pain never came, only a warm glow enveloped me. Puzzled, I opened my eyes and saw the old man's mouth open in agony, as if he were about to speak, but no sound came out. His breathing was erratic, his once clear eyes now bloodshot, and his body trembled violently, as if in immense pain.

"Senior! What's wrong with you?!" I asked anxiously, but I could only watch him being bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

"Hahaha, old man, you can't even save yourself, and you still want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? You're overestimating yourself!" Wei Qing laughed wildly, her face full of smugness and mockery. "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

The old man's eyes fell on me, filled with worry and anxiety. He roared with all his might, his voice intermittent but with unquestionable determination: "Yaoyao... hold on... you must... live..."

I understand what he means, but my strength is fading bit by bit. My body has reached its limit, and even standing has become extremely difficult. Are we really going to be defeated by the villain here? No! I will never give up!

Hao Yang is still unconscious, his life or death uncertain. The old man was seriously injured protecting me. I can't let them down! I forced myself to hold on, gathering the last bit of strength, ready for a final resistance.

"Go to hell!" A ferocious smile appeared on Wei Qing's face, and the energy ball in her hand shone brightly, as if it was going to swallow me up in the next second.

At this critical moment, the dark clouds that were rolling violently in the sky suddenly stopped changing, and a powerful force descended from the sky, enveloping us.

"What's going on?!" Wei Qing's face changed, and she looked at the sky in disbelief. The energy ball in her hand also dimmed.

Hao Shuang and Wei Xue also stopped attacking and looked up in surprise and confusion.

I saw a crack in the originally pitch-black sky, and dazzling light poured out from the crack, illuminating the entire world.

The light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a beam of light, shooting straight towards me... I instinctively closed my eyes, thinking that I would be attacked. However, after the light entered my body, I felt a warm power flowing through me, and the mysterious power that had been suppressed by the conspiracy spell began to slowly recover.

What... is going on? Could it be... "Not good!"
