Chapter 1138 What’s the Problem?
After this explanation was released, many people fell silent.
The footage reported back by official sources and nearby media mostly focused on ordinary people on the ground, with no footage of Ye Wanxi and her companion being transmitted.
So much so that everyone overlooked the real parties involved. Only when someone suddenly brought it up did everyone belatedly realize where those two most dangerous people were and what they were doing.
As if sensing the curiosity and enthusiasm of the crowd, images of the two were soon uploaded.
Hundreds of meters above the ground, in a place where even drone cameras dare not approach easily, several figures could be vaguely seen floating above the crimson barrier.
As the camera zoomed in, everyone was finally able to see the faces of the people clearly.
Bright red blood dripped down, looking rather frightening.
Upon seeing this, Feng Tianyu's expression grew even darker, and his murderous aura erupted instantly, rushing straight towards Wu Yequan.
With Wu Yequan entangled by him, Ye Wanxi was able to catch her breath for a while. She took out a bottle of hemostatic powder and sprayed it on her hand, which at least stopped the bleeding.
Without bothering to bandage himself, he rushed over again.
The three fought fiercely in the air. Even through the camera lens, everyone could see the flashing swords and the overwhelming killing intent.
Many people's hearts were in their throats for Ye Wanxi and her companion. Thinking of the ordinary people who were still suffering, their anger and dissatisfaction with Wu Yequan reached their peak.
[That old geezer is wicked and trash, why don't we shoot him down?]
[Yeah, I'm getting so anxious watching them fight for so long! Can't they just fire some artillery or something and blast them down?]
What are those people in charge of the rescue doing? Why aren't they taking down this dangerous individual? Are they planning to keep him around for the holidays? Being so timid and hiding behind the scenes while trying to save someone is just too incompetent!
"...No, aren't you guys being a bit too simplistic? Ordinary people are no match for firearms, of course. But is this guy an ordinary person? If an ordinary person could cause such a commotion, single-handedly trap the entire city inside, and create such a disgusting monster that hurts and harms people? And then you even fired a cannon to blast him down? Aren't you afraid that instead of hitting him, the cannon would be deflected and blown up, killing your own people underground?"
Everyone: "..." Damn, that makes so much sense, we can't even refute it.
So there's nothing we can do now, we can only watch them fight each other, and we're not even sure we can win?
【Pah, pah, pah! What unlucky talk! We can win! We definitely can win!】
That's right, good will prevail over evil, they'll definitely win. As long as they beat this old geezer, I'll be their die-hard fan, and anyone who dares to slander them will have to step over my dead body!
After realizing that there might really be no one who could help, everyone's expectations for Ye Wanxi and her companion were higher than ever before.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jihui and the others, who were being criticized for being too useless, were also anxiously watching Ye Wanxi and the other person's condition through the camera.
After seeing Ye Wanxi injured, many people felt their hearts clench. They felt useless and unable to help, even without others saying so.
Especially when he saw someone suggest firing cannons to blast Wu Yequan down, Xiao Jihui's eyelids twitched involuntarily. He unconsciously recalled the words Ye Wanxi and the other person had said before leaving, and suddenly felt as if something was blocking his throat, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Is that really the only way?"
Hearing his son's murmurs, Xiao Baihui naturally understood what he meant. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Wait a little longer, perhaps... there is hope."
After all, Miss Ye and her companion haven't led the person to a secluded place yet, so there might still be a chance.
However, what Xiao Baihui didn't know was that Ye Wanxi and the other woman didn't not want to lure Wu Yequan away, but rather they couldn't.
Wu Yequan seemed to have seen through their little scheme. No matter how they tried to restrain each other and lead them to a secluded place, Wu Yequan remained calm and stayed put, not moving an inch.
After several rounds, Ye Wanxi and her companion were already showing signs of fatigue, while Wu Yequan was becoming increasingly energetic, as if he had inexhaustible energy.
As time went on, Ye Wanxi and the other woman realized that something was wrong.
They knew very well that Wu Yequan's magic power came from the Zhuxian Formation, which in turn fed on the negative emotions of the living and the souls of the dead within the city.
In other words, the more desperate the people in the city are, the more people die, and the stronger Wu Yequan becomes.
When the monsters first appeared, everyone was caught off guard and terrified. There were bound to be many people injured or killed, which is understandable.
But now the rescue team has arrived, more and more people are being rescued, and everyone has hope of survival. Wu Yequan's plan should have failed, but the current situation is not like that at all.
What exactly is the problem? Ye Wanxi frowned slightly, and the next second she was struck by Wu Yequan's whip, which made her heart tremble. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from mid-air.
Feng Tianyu's expression changed slightly. He rushed over and grabbed Ye Wanxi's hand to pull her back, but Wu Yequan found an opening and lashed out with his whip, leaving a bloody red welt on her back.
"Senior Brother!" Ye Wanxi's expression changed as well. She grabbed Feng Tianyu's shoulder and pulled him back several steps.
The two were barely floating in mid-air, but both were seriously injured and covered in blood, which made the people behind the camera shudder.
They're badly injured! They're coughing up blood, and their wounds are so deep. Can they even fight that old beast? Will they...die?
[Sobbing, I'm about to cry! Why is this old man so strong? Isn't there anyone who can help them? Help them! If even they can't beat him, what about all the ordinary people? Doesn't anyone have a solution?]
Qi Yingxuan and others, who were busy fighting monsters and rescuing people in the city, also noticed that Ye Wanxi and the other person were in bad shape.
"Junior Sister, Senior Brother!" Qi Yingxuan was extremely anxious when he saw the two injured.
A demon darted out from the side, attempting to ambush him, but was killed by Jun Wuduan's sword.
"Calm down. Don't end up not only failing to help but also causing trouble for others who have to come to your rescue. These monsters are different from the previous ones; they've developed their own consciousness. Aren't you courting death by acting recklessly?"
Most of the monsters in the city have been cleared out. The remaining ones have mostly devoured people and transformed from low-level monsters without consciousness into cunning monsters with independent consciousness.
If we don't get rid of them quickly, they will grow stronger and devour more people, making it much harder to eliminate them later.
Qi Yingxuan was well aware of this, but his mind was filled with thoughts of the injured Ye Wanxi and the magic array above his head.
"Damn it, where is it? Where is it?" I've studied it so many times, why can't I find it at this crucial moment?
