Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

The dawn is coming and the troubles are easing

"Not good!" the old man exclaimed. I opened my eyes abruptly, only to see his delight replaced by a solemn expression. The light continued to pour into my body, and I felt my strength rapidly recovering, even stronger than before. But why didn't I feel joy? Instead, I felt even more uneasy.

"Yao'er, get out of the way!" The old man pushed me away with all his might. The light lost its target and shot straight towards the distant mountain. With a loud bang, the mountain collapsed in an instant, turning into ruins.

I watched in horror. That light possessed such terrifying power! What on earth was it? Why was it there?

"Cough cough..." I heard Hao Yang's weak cough and hurried to his side to check his injuries. I saw that his wounds, which had been bloody and mangled, were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his vital energy was gradually stabilizing.

"Hao Yang, how are you?" I asked anxiously, my heart full of worry and confusion.

"I'm fine..." Hao Yang's voice was still weak, but he tried hard to stand up, "Yaoyao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thanks to you..." I choked and said, if it wasn't for Hao Yang risking his life to protect me, I'm afraid I would have...

"Yao'er," the old man struggled to stand up. His face was pale and his breathing was disordered. It was obvious that he was seriously injured. "That light... is not from this world. You must be careful..."

Before the old man could finish his words, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his body began to stagger.

I quickly supported the old man and asked anxiously, "How are you?"

The old man waved his hand, signaling me not to worry. He raised his head, his cloudy eyes looking towards the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions, "It seems... everything is about to begin..."

The old man's words were like a flash of lightning, splitting the fog in my heart. Could it be... that he knew something? What did this light foreshadow? My heart was filled with questions, but no one could give me the answers.

I turned to look at Hao Yang, his face was also full of shock and confusion. We looked at each other, and we saw uneasiness and... a hint of expectation in each other's eyes.

I looked at the old man with worry. He was breathing weakly, but he was still trying to say something. I supported him, feeling powerless. This mysterious power, the old man's prophecy, Hao Yang's injuries, everything was like a tangled mess, making it difficult to breathe.

"Sister, are you okay?" Wei Qing's hypocritical voice came over. I looked up and saw that the smug look on her face had completely disappeared, replaced by an unconcealed astonishment and a hint of fear. She stared at me intently, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"How could this happen..." Wei Qing muttered to herself. She suddenly increased her spiritual power output, trying to stop the light from continuing to flow into my body. However, her power seemed so insignificant in front of the light that it couldn't even cause a ripple.

Hao Shuang and Wei Xue also stopped their attacks. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with anxiety and hesitation. They had originally thought victory was certain, but they had not expected such a sudden change. This sudden light completely disrupted their plans.

I saw a glint of greed in Hao Shuang's eyes as he stared at the light, seemingly plotting something. Alarm bells rang in my heart. This light was too strange, and no one knew what it would bring. I absolutely could not let Hao Shuang get it!

"Hao Yang, let's go!" I helped Hao Yang up, wanting to leave this troubled place as quickly as possible. However, my body seemed to be frozen, unable to move. The light seemed to have a powerful suction force, firmly imprisoning me in place.

"Hahaha, God helps me!" Hao Shuang suddenly laughed wildly. He rushed towards me, trying to snatch the light.

"Don't even think about it!" I roared, trying my best to stop him.

At this moment, the old man suddenly grabbed my hand and pushed me away with his last bit of strength. "Go away! Leave me alone!"

"Old man, you are looking for death!" Hao Shuang hit the old man's chest with a palm. The old man spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground weakly.

"No!" I screamed heartbreakingly, but there was nothing I could do.

"Yaoyao, let's go!" Hao Yang took my hand and led me out of the encirclement.

I looked back and saw the old man lying in a pool of blood, but his eyes were fixed on me with a relieved smile on his lips... He slowly raised his hand and pointed at the light in the sky. His lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something, but I couldn't hear clearly.

My heart was filled with grief and despair, but I also knew that now was not the time to be sad. I had to live, for the old man and for... myself. I took one last look at the old man, turned around resolutely, and disappeared into the night with Hao Yang.

"Yaoyao, believe me, we will come back and avenge the old man!" Hao Yang held my hand tightly, his eyes firm and powerful. At that moment, I seemed to see the dawn of hope... Hao Yang pulled me and ran all the way until we were far away from that place of trouble. Then he slowed down and found a secluded place to hide.

"Yaoyao, how are you?" He looked at me worriedly, his eyes full of heartache.

I shook my head, signaling I was fine. Though my body was exhausted, an unprecedented strength surged within me. The light seemed to still flow through me, warming my limbs and repairing my injuries.

"Hao Yang, the old man..." My voice choked. Thinking of the old man sacrificing himself to save me, my heart ached like a knife.

Hao Yang hugged me in his arms, patted my back gently, and comforted me: "Yaoyao, don't be sad. The old man's spirit in heaven would definitely not want to see you like this. We must cheer up and fulfill his last wish!"

I took a deep breath, trying to calm the sadness and anger in my heart. Yes, I can't just fall like this. The old man gave his life for me. I must live and avenge him!

I closed my eyes and carefully felt the mysterious power within me. It seemed even stronger than before, and it was growing stronger. I tried to mobilize this power, and a warm current instantly flowed through my body. I felt full of strength.

"Wei Yao, you are still alive!" Wei Qing's voice came from a distance, with undisguised anger and murderous intent.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Wei Qing, Hao Shuang and Wei Xue walking towards us aggressively.

"Damn it, how did they find us?" Hao Yang cursed, his face full of solemnity.

"Don't worry, Hao Yang, I'm here to protect you this time!" I stood up, protected Hao Yang behind me, and looked at the three people who were approaching with firm eyes.

"Just you?" Wei Qing sneered, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you got that light!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Qing condensed a sharp spiritual power and hit me fiercely.

I didn't dare delay and quickly mobilized the mysterious power within my body to form a barrier in front of me. With a loud "bang", the spiritual power collided with the barrier, sparking a dazzling light.

I was knocked back a few steps by the powerful impact, but I was not injured. I was surprised to find that this mysterious power could actually withstand Wei Qing's attack!

"How...how is this possible?!" Wei Qing's eyes widened in disbelief. "Who...who are you?!"

I ignored Wei Qing's astonishment. I concentrated my mind, condensed the mysterious power in my body, and then pushed it hard in the direction of Wei Qing!
