Chapter 354 A Dilemma: Both Advance and Retreat Lead to Despair
"puff--"
A mouthful of scalding blood gushed from his mouth, splattering onto the cold gravel and cards.
That wasn't ordinary blood; it was the essence of a half-soul whose very origin had been forcibly torn apart.
Yan Xi's knee slammed heavily onto the ground, barely managing to stay upright by bracing himself against the loose stones with his hands. A trickle of blood uncontrollably seeped from the corner of his lips.
Each broken, suppressed groan of pain carried with it the spiritual power crumbling inch by inch, and the excruciating pain of having one's bones scraped and one's heart ripped out.
Xiao Ta opened her eyes wide and was about to cry out in surprise when Luo Shenshu covered her mouth.
Burning Heaven Tower turned to glare at Luo Shenshu, but was captivated by the same compassion in her eyes.
Ao Bai's tears fell in a torrent, and his claws gripped the ground tightly.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Xi's beautiful silver-blue curly hair completely lost its luster, becoming sticky with sweat and blood, clinging pathetically to his pale neck.
The light from the boundary ring, like a greedy venomous snake, spread upwards along his bony hand.
Yan Xi could even hear the teeth-grinding cracking sound of his own bones being crushed inch by inch by this force.
He tried to gather his strength, but even the slightest movement was accompanied by a violent collapse of his soul.
There was no longer a trace of composure, nor any trace of elegance.
He vomited large amounts of blood, his body convulsed uncontrollably, and his heart was gripped by a premonition of death.
Yan Xi turned his head slowly and with difficulty.
Although his vision was obscured by blood, he still managed to pinpoint the slender figure below—
Huali's face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak, but her almond-shaped eyes, which could not be focused, still stubbornly stared in his direction.
No......
No! Absolutely not!
He absolutely cannot die here...
If he had died because of the card removal, his benefactor would have blamed himself for everything.
She must, she absolutely must go crazy.
Yan Xi smiled helplessly and swallowed the metallic taste in his throat with difficulty.
The little girl... has too soft a heart.
Every time he deliberately showed weakness and pretended to be innocent and harmless, her eyes clearly said "Here we go again," but she still helplessly indulged him.
Even though she saw through all his pretenses and knew the madness and scheming beneath his exterior, she still couldn't help but soften her heart and fall for his tricks time and time again.
Such a lovely girl deserves to be cherished by everyone.
How could he bear to let her bear the guilt and pain?
This thought, which terrified Yan Xi even more than death itself, temporarily overwhelmed the excruciating pain, bringing a suffocating bitterness.
Can……
We can't just give up like this.
If we retreat now, Huali will surely die.
What was causing him such intense inner turmoil, to others, was nothing more than a few breaths.
The smile on Yan Xi's lips slowly faded.
It seems... he can never get what he wants.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, both paths lead to certain doom.
An overwhelming sense of powerlessness and a profound, desperate love extinguished all of Yan Xi's struggles in the unfolding narrative.
He has to continue; he has to live to finish!
A suppressed growl escaped from Yan Xi's lips, and Hua Li on the ground seemed to sense it, suddenly raising her head.
Yan Xi stopped suppressing the power of the boundary ring and instead frantically gathered all her spiritual power.
The overwhelming pressure of risking one's life for another burst forth, and it managed to withstand the annihilating power for a brief moment!
He was covered in blood, like a broken and barely pieced-back glass doll.
Even Wen Jin, who killed people with ease, felt a pang of pity in his eyes.
Using the time gained from burning everything, Yan Xi stretched out his bony arm, unleashed his last bit of strength, and grabbed forward!
He gripped the water-type card tightly in his hand and hurled it recklessly toward the outside of the barrier, toward where Karin was!
The card passed through numerous barriers and suddenly stopped in front of Karin!
The moment he completed this action, the power that Yan Xi had forcibly gathered within his body was completely exhausted.
"Little bird!!!"
Ao Bai could no longer hold back and let out a roar.
Driven by a powerful desire for both pain and protection, a spark ignited the dormant bloodline shackles of the Heavenly Dao as the Martian plunged into the oil depot.
A tremendous and majestic power suddenly erupted from its small body!
The blinding light enveloped it in an instant.
As Yan Xi fell straight backward like a puppet with its strings cut, Ao Bai's body rapidly expanded and deformed.
To everyone's astonishment, it transformed into a colossal beast with an enormous size and covered in law runes!
Even his pupils turned into the purest gold, carrying boundless majesty, reflecting the cycle of birth and death of all the heavens and myriad realms!
The embodiment of the Heavenly Dao manifested at this moment as a mount capable of carrying the dawn!
At the same time.
Karin, whose vision was momentarily restored by the water-based card, immediately saw Yanxi's appearance.
Her heart was breaking, and she rushed out in an instant.
The man and the beast remained silent.
Ao Bai lowered his massive head, and Hua Li flipped onto his back.
The two transformed into a divine stream of light, rushing resolutely and fearlessly to Yan Xi's side.
Before Ao Bai could even stop, Hua Li leaped down and crashed heavily onto the stone steps, running towards Yan Xi.
