Chapter 28 The barrier is broken, Master, please help me!
Zhu Liu watched her retreating figure with her sword, and after holding back for a while, he finally couldn't help but yell at her, "What the hell are you doing? Do you even know where the undead are?"
Lin Jianyu didn't know where the undead were, but she knew where Yun Dan and Zhu Jin were. All she had to do was hack and slash wildly in front of them.
"Behind," Zhu Jin reminded him.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Not only did she fail to kill him, but the undead also launched a sneak attack from behind, sending her flying with a jet of water.
Fortunately, she was a professional at flying, so she didn't land in a disheveled manner.
It means that we've lost our bearings again.
“Where?” she called out to Zhuliu.
"Nine o'clock position, five meters away," Zhu Liu said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianyu drew his sword and charged forward.
She was incredibly fast. The undead's position didn't change, and with one strike, she actually hit it. But the moment she struck, she was thrown back by a powerful force.
This time she wasn't lucky; she fell and was completely disoriented.
"Damn it, I can't even cut through it, what a broken sword." She threw the sword back to Zhu Liu in frustration.
Zhu Liu took the sword, wanting to rejoin the battle, but he couldn't get up. He was badly injured and his spiritual energy was exhausted, so his fighting strength was not as good as Lin Jianyu's.
That's not the worst part. The worst part is that Zhujin is gradually losing its grip.
His talent was only average to begin with, and in addition, he had been following Huo Chenyin around doing business all these years and hadn't really cultivated much. It's not easy for him to have lasted this long.
If he can't hold on, it means Yun Dan will have to fight two against one.
Yun Dan has a high talent, but he has been obsessed with cooking and has not cultivated properly. The only thing he can do well is talisman techniques.
The art of talismanic arts is extremely energy-consuming, especially when there are no talismanic papers available.
He didn't have many talismans with him, and they were quickly used up. He could only draw talismans on the spot using his spiritual power, which consumed a lot of spiritual power. Even if his spiritual power was abundant, he couldn't withstand such a waste, let alone since his spiritual power wasn't that abundant.
Before long, he too was defeated.
Their defeat was a completely different matter from Lin Jianyu being thrown out. Lin Jianyu was thrown out and only suffered a little pain, while their defeat meant they were at risk of losing their lives at any moment.
Lin Jianyu witnessed Zhu Jin's body being cut by a wind blade, and it was in that instant that she clearly realized that this was a battle where it was either you die or I die.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for them. Now, she was the only one left standing on the field, but she didn't even know where the undead were.
The most terrifying enemies are the invisible ones. She didn't know where they were, from where they would attack, or who they would attack. She could only tremblingly raise the talisman and silently pray, "Demons, demons and monsters, hurry, leave!"
But clearly, this was useless; it would have been better to use the talisman paper to wreak havoc.
Yun Dan gave her a talisman he had created to prevent food from spoiling.
grass!
That's really unfair to your teammates.
"Lend me the sword again, and tell me where the enemy is." She refused to believe that she, a beautiful and valiant young woman who couldn't even kill Lu Jiao, would die at the hands of two mere sea monsters.
Zhu Liu couldn't get up on his own, so he could only tell her the location of the sea creature's undead.
Then, I watched her rush up, fly back, rush up again, and fly somewhere else.
The sea monster that she slashed twice was not exactly unharmed, but it was practically the same as being unharmed.
After a few attempts, Lin Jianyu couldn't get up any further. This was like throwing an egg against a rock; it was better not to go at all.
Her not going up doesn't mean the sea monsters won't come and kill her.
As a jet of water sprayed towards her, she tried to dodge, but her body was too weak to move. She could only watch helplessly as the water jet approached her. Just when she thought she was about to be pierced by the water jet, the expected pain did not come, because someone stood in front of her.
"Brother Zhujin!"
With a muffled groan, Zhu Jin fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Lin Jianyu crawled to his side and covered the wound on his abdomen, but the bleeding just wouldn't stop.
"I'm fine," Zhu Jin said, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
After seeing this, Lin Jianyu found it hard to believe that he was alright.
After discovering that he couldn't stop the bleeding, she channeled her spiritual energy into his wound.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy stopped his bleeding; unfortunately, however, this amount of spiritual energy was far from enough to heal his injuries.
To make matters worse, while they were wounded and maimed, the two sea monsters were completely unharmed and continued to attack them.
Soon, Yun Dan also got bruises.
Blood stained his clothes red, and soon only a blinding red remained in Lin Jianyu's eyes.
"Junior Sister, hurry, let's get out of there!"
Walk?
Which way to go?
They had nowhere to go.
At this moment, Lin Jianyu suddenly remembered Lu Jiao.
If Lu Jiao were here, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state, or even injured.
Unfortunately, Lu Jiao wasn't there, so no one could save them.
As she was thinking, a force suddenly pulled her away.
It was Zhu Jin beside her.
Even though he was covered in wounds, he still thought about protecting her.
Why is she so useless!
Lin Jianyu clenched her fists unwillingly, the black in her pupils slowly faded and turned azure, and the figures of two sea creature spirits gradually appeared in front of her.
She could finally see them, but what good was that?
They can see it, but they can't beat it.
She could only watch helplessly as they attacked them again and again, as they repeatedly ravaged their bodies.
"Master, what should I do?"
"Master, please help me!"
“Master, you said you would protect me forever.”
"Master, I miss you so much."
...
As if in response to her, a broken sound suddenly rang out around them.
She instinctively looked up, but saw nothing.
Yun Dan said calmly, "The barrier is broken."
She then realized that the barrier trapping them had shattered.
The barrier shattered, and they had no way to leave; they could only stay there and wait to die.
It had no effect on the two sea creature undead; they continued to attack them as before.
Just as another jet of water was about to spray towards her, she was about to dodge when a sword pierced through the water jet and stabbed the body of the sea monster.
In an instant, the sea monster and the jet of water it spewed out turned into a black light and were absorbed by the sword.
When Lin Jianyu saw the sword, she froze on the spot until Zhu Liu shouted "Whale Fall," which brought her back to her senses. She then stood up and looked around for the familiar figure.
She searched around, but there was no one else around except for the few of them. She called out "Master," but no one responded.
Unable to find Lin Jinshui, she turned her attention back to Jingluo.
Lin Jinshui once told her that whale fall is a sword of redemption, used for salvation. At that time, her understanding of salvation was rescue, because every time Lin Jinshui gave her whale fall, he would say that whale fall could save her when she was in danger.
It now seems that the act of "deliverance" is not only about rescue, but also about helping the deceased find peace.
The undead, who had previously been helpless against them, encountered the whale fall as if they had encountered their natural enemy, and had no chance to fight back at all.
After the water-controlling undead was absorbed by the whale fall as a black light, the wind-controlling undead was not spared either, and was soon absorbed by the whale fall as well.
After absorbing the two beams of light, Whale Fall returned to its sheath and hovered in front of Lin Jianyu.
Lin Jianyu subconsciously reached out and grasped it.
The moment she grasped the sword, it lost its buoyancy and firmly landed in her hand.
"Master," she called softly, but the whale fall did not respond, as if it were dead. Just now, it had killed two sea monsters and saved them.
If a whale fall is just an inanimate object, then someone is manipulating it.
Whale Fall is Lin Jinshui's natal sword, and only Lin Jinshui can control it.
"Master, Master, where are you? Why won't you come out to see me? I've been looking for you so hard." She said, while carefully looking around.
There was no one else around.
She lowered her head in disappointment, wanting to check on Yun Dan and the others' injuries first.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from behind.
She subconsciously looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, but what she saw was not her beloved master, but several cultivators dressed in Taoist robes.
These cultivators were none other than the cultivators from Gouqu Mountain whom they had met briefly in the town not long ago.
Lin Jianyu didn't know whether they were friends or foes, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the whale fall.
"Watch out for the sword in her hand," one of the cultivators warned.
As soon as he said this, Lin Jianyu knew that the person who came was an enemy, not a friend.
Moreover, the other party is very likely in cahoots with those two sea creature undead from before. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that they appeared right after those two sea creature undead were killed by the whale fall, and when they appeared, they were even wary of the whale fall.
As they approached step by step, she subconsciously placed her hand on the hilt of Whale Fall, wanting to draw the sword to confront them. But with a little effort, she realized that she couldn't draw Whale Fall at all.
This is normal. Over the years, she has tried countless times to pull out a whale fall, but in the current situation, she has failed.
"Brother, please, show some of that same spirit you had just displayed, and hold the line!" They're all injured or crippled now, and it's the only thing that can intimidate the enemy.
After hearing her words, Whale Fall remained motionless, as if everything before had been just her illusion.
Having just witnessed the power of the whale fall, the cultivators dared not attack rashly, which gave them a little breathing time. However, this time would not last long, as they would not let them go easily now that they had come out.
All she can do now is try to stall for time, preferably until Lin Jinshui arrives.
Yes, she believed her master should be not far from them at this moment, otherwise, the whale fall would not have appeared.
"You must be cultivators from Gouqu Mountain. We, Wuxu Mountain, have no enmity with you. Why are you suddenly attacking us?"
"So it's that stinky Taoist priest from Wuxu Mountain. No wonder he's so repulsive just by looking at him."
"We have a deep-seated grudge against you!"
Lin Jianyu: "..."
It's no wonder it's called Wuxu Mountain; every cultivator you encounter on the road seems to have a grudge against them.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. We are not from Wuxu Mountain, and we have a grudge against them."
“Whether you are from Wuxu Mountain or not, whether you have a grudge against them or not, you have killed two sea monsters that we have carefully raised. Today you will have to pay with your lives.”
"Don't waste words with her, just attack. She can't even stand up straight, she's probably at her last gasp."
