Chapter 110 Second Update Long Aotian's Father 24

Hua Duoyou shouted many times but to no avail. A tall and strong man beside him roared and attacked the barrier again, but he didn't expect that the spiritual power hit the barrier and bounced back the next second, knocking the man out.

The newly added barrier didn't seem to have a simple rebound effect, but rather a doubled rebound effect. The man fell to the ground, seriously injured, with spiritual energy floating around him, showing signs of falling back.

Seeing this, the others did not dare to act rashly. They shouted a few words angrily, but when they got no response, they looked at Hua Duoyu, hoping he would give them some advice.

Hua Duoyou glanced at everyone with a serious look, and said desperately: "At this point, we can only fight with all our might."

Yan Bufan returned to the palace and found that Zhuozhu had woken up. She was lying on the couch by the window, looking at the sky, her face full of worry.

"Zhuozhuo, why are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhuozhuo turned around and saw Yan Bufan, and said anxiously: "Daddy, Fengfeng and Tiandao went to fight, and Zhulong didn't help Fengfeng, but helped Tiandao!"

This is what she asked after waking up with a start. She couldn't see what was happening above. However, from time to time, a silver dragon flashed through the dark clouds, accompanied by the crackling thunder and blue-purple lightning, which was a terrifying sight.

When Yan Bufan approached, Zhuozhuo climbed up and hugged his waist, saying worriedly, "Daddy, let's go to heaven and save Fengfeng."

Yan Bufan took advantage of the situation and picked up Zhuozhuo, walked to the window and looked up at the sky together. He concentrated his spiritual power in his eyes and shared his vision with Zhuozhuo, saying soothingly, "Don't be afraid of Zhuozhuo. Fengfeng is very powerful. Zhulong and Tiandao can't beat him."

Otherwise, Tiandao would not have tried to create an illusion to deal with Yan Bufan, and Zhulong would not have come in a roundabout way to find Zhuozhuo.

The battle situation in the sky was as expected. Tiandao had no entity and could only control the heavenly thunder to attack. Even with the help of Zhulong, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Zhuozhuo found Dayan in a dazzling display of lightning and sparks, and before he could even begin to worry, he was startled. Dayan was now covered in blood, his expression cold, and he was grappling with Zhulong, sword in hand, like a killing god.

Zhulong became hundreds or thousands of times bigger than when he was playing with Zhuozhuo. Dayan was like a small flying insect in front of him, but with the sword light, Zhulong's body was covered with countless scars, and blood and scales fell like rain.

Yan Bufan was worried that Zhuozhuo would be frightened, and was about to interrupt when he saw Dayan cut off Zhulong's tail with one sword. Zhulong roared in pain and a bump on the top of his head was cut off.

“…”

Can I still enter the house when Dayan comes back?

Zhuozhuo's vision faded, and her face turned pale. She continued to stare at the sky, and suddenly saw Zhulong's tail falling from the sky. Zhuozhuo's mind went blank for a moment, and she choked up and said, "Why did Zhulong fight Fengfeng? Doesn't he feel any pain?"

Yan Bufan originally had no ill feelings towards Zhulong, but seeing Zhuzhuo so sad, he also became dissatisfied with Zhulong and said, "Zhulong and Fengfeng are enemies. He came to play with you because Fengfeng listens to you, and he wants you to persuade Fengfeng. Zhuzhuo, don't be sad for him, it's not worth it."

"I know, but I regard Zhulong as a good friend." Zhuozhuo sniffed, tears welling up in his eyes, and said seriously: "Now I don't want to be friends with Zhulong. I won't persuade Fengfeng to be wronged. Fengfeng can do whatever he wants."

Yan Bufan felt both heartbroken and helpless. This little girl, did she know that it was her mission to stop them from tearing open the world barrier, and that Zhulong was her ally? However, it was also her innocent heart that made him and Dayan like her from the bottom of their hearts and willing to sacrifice everything for her.

Perhaps due to the conflict between Dayan and Tiandao, the mission progress was confusing, making it difficult for the main system to determine the direction of the battle. Zhuozhuo regained her spirits. The little girl was obsessed with the battle in the sky. At first, when her vision disappeared, she thought Yan Bufan was tired and needed to rest. After a while, when she saw that he hadn't reopened his vision, she asked him and found out that Yan Bufan was afraid of scaring her.

How could she be scared? She is so brave.

Zhuozhuo didn't know what was going on in her little head, but she understood that Yan Bufan was afraid, so she said caringly, "Daddy, teach me. I'll see for myself."

Yan Bufan also wanted to divert Zhuozhuo's attention, so he began to teach Zhuozhuo, teaching very carefully and slowly. However, Zhuozhuo was very smart and talented. He grasped the tricks in less than a quarter of an hour, and mastered them after a while. He leaned against the window and watched intently.

In the world of cultivation, unless there is a huge disparity in strength, fights will not be over in a short time. It is normal for some fights to last for ten days or half a month. This is the situation in the sky at this time.

Dayan was very strong, but he was incomplete now, his strength greatly reduced. Under the full-scale counterattack of Tiandao and Zhulong, the battle quickly became a stalemate. Both sides fought back and forth, both were injured and looked miserable, but they fought more bravely and showed no intention of stopping.

Zhuozhuo was urged to sleep by Yan Bufan, but when she woke up, the sky seemed to be still the same. She started worrying about whether Dayan Zhulong was in pain and started worrying about whether they were sleepy or hungry. She even childishly shouted to the sky, "Fengfeng, Zhulong, come down and eat. Eat well before fighting."

Yan Bufan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When she was about to shout, he said, "Zhuozhuo, they're too far away. They can't hear you. Besides, they can fast and don't need to eat. Zhuozhuo, on the other hand, it's time for you to eat. Eating well will help you grow healthily and quickly."

Her burning stomach rumbled at the right time. She hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and now her body began to protest. She felt unbearable hunger and immediately clamored for a big pot of rice and a whole cow.

The long-lost vitality made Yan Bufan feel as if he was dreaming. He prepared a hearty breakfast for Zhuozhuo with a light step and watched her eat it with a clamor.

After dinner, Zhuozhuo was still concerned about the battle situation.

"Daddy, take Zhuozhuo up there." Zhuozhuo clenched his fists, looking aggressive. "Zhuozhuo will help Fengfeng fight!"

"No. Zhuozhuo is a child. Children cannot get involved in fights between adults."

"Why?"

"Because you're so small, what if you get stepped on?"

Zhuozhuo glanced at Yan Bufan angrily and protested with reason, "He won't be stepped on. Zhulong is so much bigger than Fengfeng, but he didn't step on Fengfeng. Daddy doesn't let Zhuozhuo fight, is it because he is too weak?"

"...Yes, Zhuozhuo is too weak now. He needs to practice hard for a long, long time before he can fight with Fengfeng."

If it were before, Zhuozhuo would have said with great energy that she must grow up quickly, but now she was silent. Yan Bufan looked over and found that Zhuozhuo had lowered her eyes and looked a little sad. He asked softly, "What's wrong, Zhuozhuo?"

Zhuozhuo said listlessly, "Zhuozhuo will never grow up."

Yan Bufan's heart skipped a beat, and he said gently, "Why do you say that? Who told you that?"

He glanced at the cat coldly, suspecting that it was talking nonsense.

9972 was wrongly killed, and it was also surprised. Well, it hadn't had time to tell Zhuozhu about this in this world. But Zhuozhuo often did some unexpected things, and it was used to it.

Zhuozhuo shook his head and said in confusion, "No one told me. I thought of it myself."

Perhaps it was because she had died too many times at a young age that she had come to this realization by the time the mission reached a certain stage. Yan Bufan felt so distressed that he wished he could have gone through this for Zhuozhuo. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort Zhuozhuo, but Zhuozhuo hugged his neck and spoke softly in his ears, "Don't be sad, Daddy. Zhuozhuo can grow up in Daddy's heart."

Yan Bufan's breath trembled, and he almost cried in front of Zhuozhuo. He hugged Zhuozhuo tightly, enjoying a moment of peace in the midst of lightning and thunder.

I thought the deadlock would last for a long time, but something unexpected happened that night.

Hua Duoyou and his companions set up an ancient formation on Dengyuntai for sacrifice. Hundreds of powerful individuals and exceptionally gifted geniuses sacrificed themselves to enhance the power of the Heavenly Dao. These were only the first group, and countless more would continue to enter the formation.

Dayan was instantly at a disadvantage and almost had his arm bitten off by Zhulong.

Zhuozhuo woke up from his sleep and found that it was as bright as day outside. Lightning flashed densely between the sky and the earth, thunder rumbled in his ears, strong winds blew up trees and roofs, and heavy rain poured down on the ground. It was like a scene of the end of the world.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhuozhuo immediately ran to the window, wanting to see what was happening in the sky. Yan Bufan hugged Zhuozhuo, put on thick clothes for her, and then hurriedly took her to the window.

The situation in the sky made both of them look unhappy. Zhuozhuo shouted that she wanted to go help Fengfeng. Yan Bufan pondered for a moment and made a decision. He placed Zhuozhuo on the couch, set up one barrier after another for her, and took out her defensive magic tools, confirming whether she knew how to use them one by one. Then he said, "Zhuozhuo, I'm going to help Fengfeng. You wait here for us to come back, okay?"

Zhuozhuo's face was covered with tears, and she asked in a sobbing voice, "Can Zhuozhuo go with me?"

"No." Yan Bufan hardened his heart and refused, wiping the tears from Zhuozhuo's face, but she kept crying and the tears could not be wiped away at all, making it difficult for him to speak. "It's too dangerous, I can't protect you. Zhuozhuo, I promise, I will bring Fengfeng back."

Zhuozhuo's eyes were filled with tears. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said pitifully, "Daddy, you must keep your word. You must come back and you can't die."

"Okay, Fengfeng and I will definitely come back alive." Yan Bufan took out more food, fruits, and drinks, and instructed worriedly, "Zhuozhuo, stay here and don't leave. No matter who comes to look for you, you can't go with them. Remember?"

"I remember." Zhuozhuo wiped away her tears again.

Yan Bufan's heart ached, and he couldn't bear to watch any longer. He picked up the kitten's head and warned, "Take good care of Zhuo Zhuo. Don't let her do anything dangerous, don't let her eat too much, and don't let her be cheated by others."

9972 nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will protect Zhuozhuo."

How could Yan Bufan be at ease? The longer it dragged on, the more trouble it would be if Da Yan really died. He hardened his heart and jumped out.

Zhuozhuo quickly leaned against the window, watching Yan Bufan fly above the clouds and catch Dayan, who had been thrown away by Zhulong. However, before they could regain their balance, they were struck by lightning. The tears that had just stopped flowing suddenly began to flow again, and she cried, "Tongtong, will Fengfeng and Daddy die?"

9972 said confidently: [No, Zhuozhuo, don't worry, we'll just wait here... Hey Zhuozhuo, look, Da Yan and Xiao Yan are both fine, the thunderbolt can't kill them at all.]

Zhuozhuo looked at the two men, whose hair wasn't even singed, blinked and stopped crying, watching them fight intently. She rubbed her eyes and said doubtfully, "Tongtong, did Fengfeng and Daddy melt? They melted and became one."

She looked at the two merged figures, her expression horrified, anxious, shocked and bewildered, "Is Daddy gone, or is Fengfeng gone? I need to go look for him!"

Although Zhuozhuo hadn't practiced much since leaving the illusion, her spiritual power was still growing slowly. She also learned a lot of spells from Dayan. Now, she flew up by herself in a hurry.

[Zhuozhuo, don't go! It's too dangerous!]

As Zhuozhuo flew out, she was struck by a bolt of lightning. She was so frightened that her spiritual power was interrupted. She fell directly to the ground and rolled for a long distance.

Because of the protection of the barrier, Zhuozhuo was not injured. 9972 just felt relieved when he found that Zhuozhuo became bolder after realizing that he was fine and started flying again.

She had experience and could dodge lightning. However, the lightning was too dense, and some of it was impossible to dodge. After being struck, Zhuozhuo was no longer afraid. After the strike was over, she continued to fly and actually flew into the air.

9972 was so frightened that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt ashamed of Yan Bufan's instructions. Zhuozhuo didn't listen to him at all!

Unable to persuade her, 9972 simply gave up. Zhuozhuo's defensive magic tools and barrier were powerful anyway, and almost no one in the small world could hurt her. Not only did it not persuade her, it also gave Zhuozhuo directions, wanting her to find Yan Bufan as quickly as possible. After all, being halfway was the most dangerous. What if she was caught by someone...

As fears often go unheard, Zhuozhuo had just evaded a lightning bolt when several dark shadows suddenly appeared from all directions and attacked her simultaneously. 9972 screamed in fear, but Zhuozhuo remained calm, accelerating upwards and dodging the attacks.

[Great job, Zhuozhuo! Keep flying, we'll get rid of them!]

Zhuozhuo tried her best to fly upwards, but it was her first time flying so high, and there were so many mines, so even though she tried very hard, she was quickly caught up.

Surrounded by tall adults, Zhuozhuo was like a little chicken, seemingly powerless to resist. But Zhuozhuo didn't show any fear. Before 9972 could scream, she grasped the Pingbo dagger in her hand, her face tense, as if ready to fight them.

The man before him looked gentle and refined. Seeing Zhuozhuo's desperate stance, like a cornered beast ready to fight the mermaid to the death, he gave a kind smile and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, little one. Be good and beg your father to stop and destroy your Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit, and we'll let you go back to your family."

[Zhuozhuo, don't get excited. Why don't you just pretend to agree to him first? Once you meet Yan Bufan, they'll definitely find a way to save you.] 9972 was extremely nervous, worried that Zhuozhuo didn't know how to play it safe and would hurt himself if he pushed too hard.

Zhuozhuo hadn't originally wanted to talk to these bad guys, but 9972's persuasion made her inexplicably sad. Why didn't anyone help Dayan and his father, and no one helped them find a solution? Zhuozhuo, feeling angry, turned around in a circle and glared at everyone around her, "Bad guys!"

Everyone: “…”

Everyone had different expressions. Some even wondered how Yan Bufan could have such a lovely daughter. If they insisted on capturing her to threaten Yan Bufan, that would be too bad. Otherwise, they should think of other ways...

At this time, a fierce voice sounded, "Humph, you are so young and yet you are already trying to deceive people! Little girl, since you won't cooperate, I can only cut off the things on your body and send them to Yan Bufan to see. Seeing is believing, which is more effective than saying anything."

A tall and strong figure moved to the front, looking down at Zhuo Zhuo, and suddenly took out a machete with a cold and gleaming light, "Just chop off his hands and feet, so that Yan Bufan won't be able to recognize him if he's missing them."

brush--

The machete chopped towards Zhuozhuo.

The defensive barrier was activated, creating a spherical safe space with a diameter of two meters around Zhuozhuo.

Inside the barrier, Zhuozhuo's eyes widened with fear, and he whispered "Daddy Fengfeng". He watched the machete slashing at the barrier more than a dozen times like crazy, and recognized the man as Qi Tianwen, the leader of the Beast Taming Sect in the illusion.

Zhuozhuo subconsciously thought that Hua Duoyou outside had become different from the one in the illusion, so why was this bad guy still as bad as before?

The barrier was indeed a product of Yan Bufan, the quality was guaranteed. Qi Tianwen tried to break it after chopping at it for a long time but failed. He yelled at his companions in frustration, asking them why they didn't help.

The elegant man slowly shook his head and said, "By the time we have used all our strength to break the barrier, the matter will have already been settled."

Qi Tianwen had an ugly expression on his face, staring at Zhuozhuo gloomily, threatening him from time to time, trying to make Zhuozhuo walk out of the barrier on his own. Zhuozhuo made faces at him.

After circling around for a long time without making any progress, another person arrived. He was standing a little far away, and his face couldn't be seen clearly in the flashing lightning. He sent a voice message to Zhuo Zhuo, "It's me, Zhuo Zhuo, Senior Brother Hua Hua."

Zhuozhuo was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face, "Huahua, you are really not dead." It's not that she didn't believe Dayan, but she had never seen him appear in front of her alive. She couldn't imagine how Hua Duoyou came back to life.

"Yes, I'm still alive." Hua Duoyou said gently, "Did I scare you last time?"

Zhuozhuo shook his head and said directly in a milky voice, "Are you here to kill me too?"

Hua Duoyou was stunned for a moment, "No, I won't kill you."

Zhuozhuo tilted his head in confusion, pointed at the circle around him, and asked again: "Are you with them?"

"...Yes." Hua Duoyou sighed, "Zhuozhuo, Yan Bufan wants to tear open the world barrier. We have to stop him, but only you can do it."

Zhuo Zhuo said warily, "I won't persuade Feng Feng to stop, and I don't want you to cut off my hands and feet. Don't look for me."

"You are still too young. You don't understand anything. You only know to listen to your father. You will regret it when you grow up and understand the truth... Zhuozhuo, we must stop Yan Bufan." Hua Duoyou approached Zhuozhuo, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Zhuozhuo didn't believe it. She knew Hua Duoyou was very powerful and didn't want to talk to him anymore. She immediately flew up to get out of the encirclement and quickly moved to the side to hide. After flying for a distance, she was about to ask 9972 if anyone was catching up with her when she was suddenly covered by a big blue net.

9972 screamed, "Zhuozhuo, you've been caught! Can you still fly?"

This net seemed to have the effect of blocking spiritual power. Zhuozhuo fell straight down. She tried it and said seriously: "I'm caught. I can't fly."

After saying that, Zhuozhuo finally reacted and started to struggle violently, calling "Daddy Fengfeng" while struggling, which made 9972's heart break.

Because Zhuozhuo was afraid, a defensive magic weapon was activated, emitting a bright white light to protect her and stretching the net into a circular shape. In a panic, Zhuozhuo saw the dagger in her hand and her eyes lit up. "Pingbo, Pingbo, cut the net into pieces."

She used her dagger to cut the net, quickly severing one line and immediately going to cut the next. At this moment, Hua Duoyou caught up with her, his eyes sharp, and he placed his hand on the net. The net that had just been easily cut was instantly as tough as iron, and Pingbo's dagger didn't even leave a mark on it.

Zhuozhuo thought this thread was stronger, so she tried to cut another one, but she tried one after another and couldn't cut any of them.

"What's going on, Tongtong?"

9972 said helplessly: "Zhuozhuo, this net is the artifact Jie Ze, and your dagger is the artifact Ping Bo. These two artifacts are of equal rank. If you were to control Ping Bo to cut Jie Ze, Ping Bo would be stronger. But Jie Ze is now being wielded by Hua Duoyou, whose cultivation is higher than yours, so Ping Bo can't do anything to Jie Ze."

Pingbo also spoke up, "It's my fault that I'm not strong enough for this master."

"Don't blame Pingbo." Zhuozhuo was furious and pointed at Hua Duoyou fiercely, "Blame this bad guy. Bad guy, don't you dare catch me again!"

Hua Duoyou held his forehead and said helplessly, "Zhuozhuo, I really don't want to hurt you. If you really don't want to cooperate with me, just lend me something."

"Borrow what?"

Hua Duoyou pointed at the colorful pendant on Zhuozhuo's waist, as if he had made a huge concession and sacrifice, "This pendant, and the dagger in your hand."

Zhuozhuo subconsciously hugged Pingbo tightly in his arms, and used his other hand to pull out the colorful pendant. He blinked and remembered, "This is a gift from you."

"Yes, can you lend it to me now? I'll give it to you when I'm done."

Zhuozhuo struggled to remove the pendant from his body, then removed the green jade pendant from it. He then tossed the pendant to Hua Duoyou and said, "Pingbo, I can't give it to you. I'll give the pendant back to you. I don't want your things anymore."

The colorful pendant hit the Jize net and was blocked, then fell on Zhuozhuo.

Zhuozhuo picked it up and was about to stuff it through the hole in the net when he heard Hua Duoyou say, "The jade pendant..."

"The jade pendant was given to me by Fengfeng, I can't give it to you!" Zhuozhuo hugged the jade pendant and dagger tightly, not even bothering to put the pendant in, for fear that it would be snatched away as soon as he raised his hand.

The jade pendant is also a magical artifact. 9972 sensed something was wrong and said, "Baby, ask him what he wants these magical artifacts for."

Zhuozhuo repeated, "What do you want these artifacts for?"

Hua Duoyou probably thought Zhuo Zhuo knew nothing, so he didn't hide anything. "This world has seven great artifacts. When combined together and sacrificed, they can enhance the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of heaven."

9972: [Zhuozhuo, he wants to use these artifacts to attack Fengfeng and your father!]

Zhuozhuo's eyes widened. She couldn't believe Hua Duoyou was so mean. He stole her things and beat her father and Fengfeng. How mean! She didn't even think about returning the colored pendant to Hua Duoyou. She lowered her head and angrily tied the jade pendant back to the green bead. She also thought about tying Pingbo to the orange bead of the same color.

After being tied up, the dagger, which was as long as half her arm, shrank to the size of a finger, with a restrained edge, looking delicate and cute.

"Huh?"

Zhuozhuo widened his eyes and tilted his head in thought. Driven by instinct and intuition, he pulled the broken rope of the dehydration net and tried to tie it to the blue beads of the same color as the net.

The others simply assumed Zhuozhuo was worried Pingbo might get robbed, so they manipulated him into being smaller by tying him to the pendant, making him easier to carry and conceal. Seeing her grasping the netting rope, they assumed she was just playing around and paid no attention. But the moment she tied it, the large net covering Zhuozhuo vanished, reappearing on the pendant as a small, delicate net bag.

Everyone present was shocked, and couldn't believe what this pendant was that could control the artifact without the owner's knowledge.

Zhuozhuo, a simple-minded girl, was the first to react, shooting up into the sky like an arrow. She wanted to find her father and Fengfeng, and give them the colorful pendant so they could use it to fight Zhulong and Tiandao.

9972 pointed the way and boasted, "Baby, you're so amazing and smart! How did you come up with this? This colorful pendant is amazing! It can even recycle artifacts!"

9972 did a search and found that the colored pendant didn't appear in the original plot. Such a powerful magical weapon was likely created by the Heavenly Dao to counterbalance Yan Bufan after he lost control, and then given to Hua Duoyou of the opposing faction for safekeeping. However, plans can't keep up with changes. Who could have imagined that Hua Duoyou would give the colored pendant, along with the image of the Donghuang Bell, to Zhuozhuo in a fantasy to cheer her up?

Hua Duoyou should have already obtained the other artifacts. Now both of them possess three artifacts, the Donghuang Bell, and the colored pendant's shadow body, which makes them evenly matched. But as long as Zhuozhuo is the first to hand these over to Yan Bufan, they will definitely win.

Zhuozhuo was darting around in the sky, Hua Duoyou and his men in hot pursuit. However, Zhuozhuo's cultivation was too low, and his spiritual energy was too low. If he continued like this, his spiritual energy would soon run out and he would be captured. However, the Heavenly Dao was still trying to disrupt him, sending thick lightning pillars over a meter in diameter crashing down on Zhuozhuo.

Zhuozhuo was unable to dodge and was struck again. Even with the barrier blocking her, her face turned pale and her eyes were filled with fear. However, she bravely held back her tears and flew without stopping. To make matters worse, Zhuozhuo soon found that her spiritual energy was becoming increasingly dry. The pain in her dantian made her want to curl up and roll over. She said in panic, "Tongtong, I'm out of spiritual energy. I can't fly anymore."

9972 consoled him dryly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The magic weapon and barrier your father left behind are very powerful. No one can break it. Even if you get caught, you don't have to worry."

"Don't get caught." Zhuozhuo gritted her teeth and said, but her meridians and dantian suddenly felt a sharp pain. Her mind went blank in an instant, and her spiritual power dissipated and fell down.

Hua Duoyou was right below, with his arms outstretched and adjusting his position to catch her.

After Zhuozhuo discovered this, he tried hard to paddle with his limbs to avoid being caught by him.

9972 nervously told Zhuozhuo not to move around, because wherever he went, there would be bad guys to catch him if he fell.

Upon hearing this, Zhuozhuo sat in the barrier and cried with his head tilted back, "Wu ...

Suddenly, a large white shadow brushed against the edge of the barrier and smashed down, hitting several people. Hua Duoyou also missed Zhuozhuo because he dodged.

Zhuozhuo looked down and saw that it was a large piece of snake meat, weighing down several people and falling at an extremely fast speed. She was so frightened that she trembled and sobbed, "Tongtong, I don't want to fall. Is Zhulong killed? I want to fly, I want to fly, I want to fly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, no one knew which magic weapon was activated. A lotus appeared under Zhuozhuo's body, carrying her up and flying quickly, while she nimbly avoided Hua Duoyou's pursuit.

Zhuozhuo stared blankly for a moment, then remembered that this was the flower Da Yan had given her long ago. And because it was a flying magic tool, Yan Bufan hadn't taught her how to use it before he left, so she had been flying for a long time.

What Dayan gave must not be ordinary. The lotus not only flew fast and steadily, but also had a spirit gathering array on it. The spiritual energy rushed into Zhuozhuo's body. Her dry meridians and dantian were filled at an extremely fast speed, and the dry pain disappeared.

Zhuozhuo's eyes curved with joy as he patted the lotus petals and raised his hand to the sky proudly, "Go!"

The lotus soars into the sky.

Hua Duoyou hadn't expected so many setbacks just when he was about to succeed, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. But at this point, he couldn't give up, so he gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Zhuozhuo, who was lying on the lotus, saw this and made a face at him.

[Zhuozhuo, don't be distracted. There are more and more thunders. I'm about to hit a thunder!]

After being struck, 9972 was so frightened that it nearly short-circuited. It said solemnly, "Zhuozhuo, you have magic weapons and a barrier to protect you. You won't be struck by magic weapons. But the lotus magic weapon will be damaged."

Upon hearing this, Zhuozhuo immediately concentrated on controlling the lotus magic weapon to fly.

For some reason, the thunder was now even denser, leaving almost no room for it to penetrate, causing them to be struck relentlessly. Zhuozhuo feared that the Heavenly Dao had become even stronger, unwilling to stop even for a moment. Between controlling the Lotus Instrument and dodging Hua Duoyou's pursuit, Zhuozhuo couldn't focus on checking on Dayan and Yan Bufan, and was nearly in tears with worry.

Without warning, the sky filled with thunder and lightning paused for a moment, then immediately began to pour down with a rumbling sound, as if the sky had cracked. With almost no gaps between the bolts of lightning, a sea of ​​thunder formed, and Zhuozhuo was struck and sent plummeting downwards.

Fortunately, Hua Duoyou and the others encountered the same situation, and everyone fell down together.

Faced with the catastrophic scene, the monks who could call the wind and rain had no room to resist.

In the sea of ​​thunder, the intense light blinded their eyes, yet they could sense the heavens and earth blazing brightly, as if all living and dead things were annihilated by the world-destroying thunderbolt. Their ears were inaudible, the incessant roaring sound directly impacting their sea of ​​consciousness and soul. Those with unstable minds and weak foundations suffered a downward spiral, sometimes even leading to infatuation.

Just when Zhuozhuo thought she was going to fall to her death, the sea of ​​thunder suddenly disappeared, the thunder and lightning stopped, and she subconsciously controlled the lotus magic weapon to stop in mid-air. She looked up carefully, but found that there was no Dayan, no Yan Bufan, and even Zhulong was gone in the sky.

Zhuozhuo panicked and told 9972, sobbing, "Were Fengfeng and Daddy struck by lightning and turned into ashes?"

[…No, they might be somewhere else. Let's go up and look for them. Don't cry, baby. Your Fengfeng and daddy are awesome.] 9972 had never seen such a scene before, and he was still dazed and sleepwalking as he tried to comfort Zhuozhuo.

"good."

Zhuozhuo controlled the lotus magic weapon to fly upwards, but the magic weapon was really broken. After flying crookedly for a while, it stopped completely, stopped in mid-air, smoking, and could not move at all.

Zhuozhuo had no choice but to get down and fly on her own. Fortunately, her flying skills had improved a lot, and there was no lightning interference. She quickly flew back to the height where she had fallen. She continued to fly, and suddenly heard someone behind her shouting: "Zhuozhuo!"

There was unconcealable anxiety and madness in his voice. Zhuozhuo never thought that Hua Duoyou's voice would become like this one day. He was so scared that he didn't dare to look back and flew even harder.

Seeing this, Hua Duoyou threw out four puppets, blocking Zhuozhuo's path. He chased after him and reached out to Zhuozhuo, his expression like a desperate struggle, as if he had anticipated defeat and was unwilling to fight back. "Zhuozhuo, give me the artifact."

Zhuozhuo clutched the colorful pendant tightly and said, "I won't give it to you."

Hua Duoyou said no more, took out a fan and started to attack Zhuozhuo. Zhuozhuo was frightened by his ferocious face. Just as he comforted himself by saying that there was a barrier and he didn't need to be afraid, he heard the sound of the barrier shattering.

9972 screamed, "Zhuozhuo, run! The barrier has been broken by the lightning!"

The barrier didn't just break, one or two. Instead, a continuous crackling sound ripped through it, and all of it crumbled. If the sea of ​​thunder had lasted just a moment longer, Zhuozhuo would have lost her protection and been exposed. With her level of cultivation, she would have been reduced to ash in the blink of an eye.

9972 was terrified. Zhuozhuo hadn't thought of so much. She looked at the ruthless Hua Duoyou and suddenly flew down. When Hua Duoyou was caught off guard, she quickly bypassed the puppet and flew upwards, hiding her body with the help of the clouds.

9972 tried to detect the way ahead, but was horrified to find that the detection signal disappeared silently as soon as it reached the clouds. It didn't dare to think about what was happening above, nor did it dare to give directions, fearing that any confusion would affect Zhuozhuo's intuition and performance.

Fortunately, Zhuozhuo was capable enough to handle the situation without the system's assistance. 9972, relieved, debated whether to persuade Zhuozhuo to wait and see before attempting the cloud. Ultimately, he remained silent. The moment they passed through the clouds, Zhuozhuo's nimble little body suddenly froze, losing consciousness and plummeting downward.

Hua Duoyou immediately spotted Zhuozhuo and emerged from another cloud and flew towards her.

9972 was so frightened that it nearly lost its program. It quickly checked Zhuozhuo's condition and discovered that he was in a forced coma, leaving the world behind. It was even more frightened. Why was he being forced to leave the world so suddenly? Was it a mission completed or failed? Why didn't it receive any notification?

It looked fine that day and it wasn't torn apart. Could it be that Yan Bufan was dead?!

As 9972 thought about this, it realized that Hua Duoyou didn't catch Zhuozhuo at all, but flew down with her. It was confused for a moment, but after seeing Hua Duoyou take out a colorful pendant, it understood - Hua Duoyou didn't want to waste time snatching Zhuozhuo's artifact, he wanted to wait for Zhuozhuo to fall to her death and then pick up the ready-made one.

9972 was horrified. [Yan Bufan! If you're not dead, come out now! Your daughter is going to be dead!]

A golden light suddenly appeared, and the warm and bright sunshine dispelled the thick dark clouds. Rich spiritual energy was spread to the world, and pleasant fairy music was played between heaven and earth. Thousands of rays of auspicious light were seen, birds flapped their wings, beasts ran everywhere, fish and beasts jumped out of the water, flowers, plants and trees shook their branches and leaves, and all things were joyful and celebrating the way of heaven.

9972's heart sank. With the music and lights already playing, the heavens must have beaten Yan Bufan to the bone. It had plenty of experience with failure, but it always got beaten by the target. This was the first time the target had died. If Zhuozhuo knew Yan Bufan was dead, how heartbroken he would be!

9972 fell rapidly while worrying, and flew under Zhuozhuo before she landed on the ground. Then he expended his energy to break free from Dayan's restriction and return to his normal size, and then grew rapidly.

Bang——

One man smashed everything onto the ground, creating a huge hole and sending up countless flying rocks and debris.

9972's cat's head was half-flattened, its parts scattered. It didn't bother to check itself, but quickly scanned Zhuozhuo's body, sighing with relief after confirming no serious injuries. Then, Hua Duoyou landed lightly on the ground, grabbing at Zhuozhuo with a maniacal smile.

[Ahhhh stop it!!!]

Hua Duoyou waved his hand to open the cat head made of strange material, leaned over to look at the dusty and dusty Zhuozhuo at the bottom of the pit, and a sigh seemed to escape from his lips. Then he reached for his waist and turned his hand to Zhuozhuo's fragile neck. A ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he was about to twist it off when a ball of scorching white light hit him.

Eyes and detectors were rendered useless by the exploding light. 9972 rolled toward Zhuozhuo, muttering, "The sun has fallen? This little world has too many accidents. I want compensation! I want to apply for work-related injury compensation for Zhuozhuo! I want an allowance! I want compensation for mental damage! Woohoo, baby, I'm sorry..."

The light faded and vision returned.

A tall figure knelt at the bottom of the pit, holding Zhuozhuo in his arms, and was carefully transferring spiritual energy to him.

9972 was shocked. [Yan Bufan? You're not dead?!]
