Chapter 126: Escape
At this time, the destructive force of the twelve runes on the dome flashed, and two lightnings struck the two people like the power of heaven.
The lightning illuminated the entire fourth floor as bright as day, so fast that it could not be faster, and it fell on the two people in an instant.
Almost at the moment when the lightning fell on Duan Qing, a golden shield lit up around him, covering him completely.
The lightning struck the golden shield, making a harsh and terrifying sound. Although there was a golden shield to protect him, at this moment he still felt a piercing pain that went straight to his soul, and his consciousness became blurred as if he was about to be annihilated.
He could feel that if his will was a little weak at this moment, he would no longer exist in the world!
Duan Qing had never felt that the moment was so long. He was in the air with water under him, but at this moment time seemed to have stopped. The short few feet seemed like an untouchable chasm, and the pain continued to magnify, forcing him to give up resistance.
But he didn't want to. He hadn't walked all the way to Xiaonanjie, nor had he been to the Middle Earth. The idiot was still waiting for him at Yanfeng!
Because he didn't want to, he resisted, endured the endless pain, and was hit by the lightning and fell into the water.
Although Xue Wanyun moved before Duan Qing, she was blocked by the rune on the water surface and was hit by the lightning before she could enter the water. In addition, the protective Suzaku Armor was weakened by the rune, and she was almost forcibly hit by the power of the lightning. The Suzaku Armor only lasted for a moment before being defeated by the lightning. The whole person was completely exposed to the lightning. The unprecedented pain came instantly, making her mind muddy.
As soon as she entered the water, Duan Qing felt that the stinging pain was immediately reduced by half. She woke up and looked at the golden bowl in her hand, feeling a little lucky!
He found this golden bowl next to Lu Si's body. When he saw this golden bowl, Duan Qing thought of the golden light shield that Lu Si used to trap everyone that day. He guessed that this treasure must be extraordinary, so he put it away. Unexpectedly, it could really save his life at the critical moment!
In fact, this set of heavenly bowls is a spiritual treasure in the hands of the ancestor Sha Yue. It is mainly used to protect and trap enemies. In order to obtain the Wanhua Pure Lotus in Yongling Valley, it was temporarily given to Lu Si, and the mark on it was removed. A jade talisman was specially refined for Lu Si to activate it, so that Lu Si could activate the set of heavenly bowls to a limited extent.
Otherwise, such spiritual treasures, which have the mark of the owner, cannot be used by others. It is precisely because of this that Duan Qing can activate the set of heavenly bowls to save his life at this moment.
Although he relied on this golden bowl to withstand the lightning, the lightning could still continue to attack him through the water surface, and the strong pain was still unbearable for him.
However, what made Duan Qing even more panic was the speed of spiritual power consumption at this time. From the time he activated the golden bowl in his hand before entering the water to the time he was hit by the lightning and fell into the water, it was only one or two breaths, but his spiritual power in the sea of qi had been consumed by almost half. At this speed, he would definitely not wait for him to dive out of the attack range of the lightning before his spiritual power was completely consumed!
In panic, Duan Qing wanted to dive down immediately, but when he saw Xue Wanyun motionless on the water above, he gritted his teeth secretly, activated the Control Object Technique to push him under Xue Wanyun, and pulled him into the golden light cover.
The moment he touched Xue Wanyun, the stinging pain that had just annihilated his consciousness came again, and waves of dizziness made him feel as if his head weighed a thousand pounds!
"Ah!"
Duan Qing shouted, biting his tongue to keep himself awake, struggling to clamp Xue Wanyun under his armpits, and frantically activated the Control Object Technique to dive down.
Xue Wanyun was grateful to him for teaching him the skills, and he couldn't just stand by and watch him die!
After the two lightning bolts in the fourth layer lost their target, they merged into one, becoming a thicker lightning bolt that hit the water surface, stirring up the water mist and covering the entire fourth layer space.
Duan Qing suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and the struggle to save Xue Wanyun directly consumed most of his spiritual power, and he was no longer able to maintain the golden light shield!
In a hurry, Duan Qing could not care so much, and directly took out a bamboo tube of spiritual liquid from the storage bag and poured a mouthful into his mouth.
As soon as the spiritual liquid entered his stomach, Duan Qing immediately ran the Vermillion Bird Transformation to guide the spiritual energy in it to flow into the sea of qi, converting it into spiritual power to maintain the consumption of the golden light shield.
Such a barbaric method of replenishment not only wastes a large amount of spiritual liquid and cannot be absorbed, but also brings a great burden to Duan Qing's meridians and sea of qi. If he had not broken through to the Transcendent Realm, his body would never be able to withstand such a huge spiritual energy throughput.
With the continuous replenishment of spiritual liquid, although the spiritual power in Duan Qing's sea of qi was always at a low level, fortunately it was not exhausted, and he could barely maintain the golden light shield to resist the aftermath of the lightning that came through the water.
As he dived deeper and deeper, the impact of the lightning on him was gradually weakening.
When he dived into the water to identify the direction and planned to return to the third-level pool through the hole he came from, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his waist!
He looked down and found that it was Xue Wanyun who woke up and broke free from his restraints.
The golden light shield was not big to begin with. It was okay when he was holding Xue Wanyun, but now that Xue Wanyun woke up, the golden light shield suddenly seemed a bit crowded.
Anyway, it was at the bottom of the water at this moment, and the aftermath of the lightning could not reach this place. Duan Qing simply put away the bamboo tube containing the spiritual liquid without making a sound, and then withdrew the golden light shield.
As soon as the golden light shield was withdrawn, the imagined situation of being submerged in water did not happen. It turned out that Xue Wanyun took out a bead at some point, forming a transparent shield to avoid the water, and the space was much larger than the golden light shield.
Xue Wanyun's face was pale, and there was still a trace of fear in her eyes. She first glanced at the golden bowl in Duan Qing's hand, then glanced at Duan Qing without saying a word.
She was in a complicated mood at the moment. The person who was originally believed to be dead survived and saved her. This made her pride as the pride of the Central Earth Shinto Sect disappear.
"Why did you save me?" Xue Wanyun finally spoke, asking angrily.
Duan Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that Xue Wanyun was still entangled in this situation! In order to leave quickly, he was too lazy to beat around the bush.
"You taught me the skills and I owe you a favor!"
Xue Wanyun stared at Duan Qing for a long time, struggling in his heart, and finally said slowly: "You and I don't owe each other!"
After that, the water-repellent beads circled around the bottom of the water, as if looking for something!
Duan Qing saw that Xue Wanyun had no intention of returning to the third floor, and he was anxious and couldn't help asking.
"Why don't you go back to the third floor?"
Xue Wanyun seemed to be quite worried, and did not answer immediately, but explained after a while.
"The Yongling Valley Mitian Array is now closed and cannot be entered or exited. The fourth floor is independent of the Mitian Array. When the Mitian Array is opened, you can go back and forth to the third floor. At this time... you have to find another way out!"
Duan Qing suddenly had a headache. If he couldn't withdraw from the Yongling Valley, the two of them were still under the Yongling Valley. How could they escape!
Just when Duan Qing was having a headache over the technique, Xue Wanyun seemed to have found something and controlled the Water-Repellent Beads into a hidden undercurrent.
