"roll!!!"

He suddenly crossed his arms in front of him to protect himself, and golden light exploded out!

Not an attack, but a full-scale defense!

A dazzling golden light surged forth, hastily coalescing into a rhombus-shaped golden shield in front of him!

Bang!

Purple lightning crashed into the diamond-shaped golden shield!

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, no violent surge of energy.

Only one of the hardest alloys was slowly crushed by a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, with a penetrating sound!

laugh!

That jet-black purple lightning was like a drill bit heated to white-hot, hitting a cold superalloy plate!

The moment they made contact, fine, spiderweb-like white cracks appeared on the surface of the golden shield!

Lu Beiye gritted his teeth, his eyes wide open, and frantically squeezed out every bit of his metal-type superpower, injecting it into the golden shield in front of him!

The golden shield shone brightly, attempting to resist.

However, the penetrating and destructive power contained in that pitch-black purple lightning far exceeded expectations!

The cracks are spreading.

The golden shield slowly but irresistibly caved in and crumbled!

Golden shards of light, like mournful snowflakes, continuously peeled away and dissipated from the shield...

"A-Ye! Let go! Retreat!!!"

Lu Nange's shout came as the wind blades she controlled tore through the sky, attempting to intercept the purple lightning from the side.

Zhizhi also sensed the crisis facing its master's younger brother. The vines wrapped around Lu Beiye's waist suddenly exerted force, trying to drag him backward at high speed!

Boom! The golden shield finally reached its limit and exploded under the continuous penetration of the dark purple lightning!

The purple lightning, though weakened by nearly half, was still deadly and its momentum remained undiminished as it struck Lu Beiye's golden arms, which were crossed in front of his head to block the attack!

"No...!!!"

Lu Nange's eyes were bloodshot as she slashed fiercely from the side at the jet-black purple lightning that had pierced through the golden shield and was burning her brother's arms!

Sizzle—!

The wind blade, imbued with Lu Nange's boundless rage and terror, actually severed the pitch-black purple lightning in two!

The broken purple lightning lost its stability and exploded into a chaotic mass of purple electric snakes. Most of its energy was carried away by the wind blades and blasted into the ruins below, kicking up clouds of dust.

The light faded...

"puff!"

Lu Beiye coughed up a mouthful of blood; his arms, which he had used to block, were charred and cracked, a bloody mess...

His chest was visibly dented, and blood was constantly oozing from his mouth, nose, and ears. His breath instantly became extremely weak!

"Ano!"

Lu Nange's figure swept past like the wind, supporting her younger brother's body and pulling him tightly into her arms.

The area where she touched it was scalding hot and sticky. The shocking injuries and the faint breathing made Lu Nange's heart feel as if it were being squeezed and crushed by an invisible hand!

Panic overwhelmed her instantly.

"Sis...I...I'm fine..."

The child barely opened her eyes a crack, her gaze unfocused, yet she still tried to tug at the corners of her mouth, attempting to give her a reassuring smile.

"Don't speak! Ah Ye..." Lu Nange's voice trembled like never before, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

She held her younger brother tightly with one hand, and with the other hand she frantically tried to press on the hollow in his chest where blood was gushing out, but she didn't know where to start.

"Sister will take you to find Sister Wenqing..."
