Bai Di listened to Wang Qiushi's words, and a hint of joy was clearly revealed in his eyes.
"That's a great idea. Bai Ying is doomed this time."
After saying this, Bai Di patted Wang Qiushi on the shoulder, "I'm leaving this task to you. Go ahead with peace of mind. We'll take care of the aftermath. I'll protect you from the shadows."
Wang Qiushi had just been somewhat disappointed in Bai Di, but he never expected her to say such a thing to him.
She needs to protect herself...
Wang Qiushi blushed and agreed. Even if he was disappointed, Bai Di was still his former dream, and he simply couldn't refuse.
Wang Qiushi secretly took the few Beast-Attracting Pills to the place where the Chi Dragons were.
Fearing that the dragons would discover him, he moved with extreme caution.
Fortunately, the dragons' attention was entirely focused on Bai Ying. In order to kill Bai Ying, they launched a frenzied attack on the group of people in front of her.
The dragons opened their blood-red maws, and in an instant, a terrifying, world-destroying power erupted forth.
An exceptionally shrill roar seemed capable of tearing space apart, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, each sound causing the earth to tremble violently. The raging flames surged even more fiercely, instantly igniting the air wherever they went, turning it into distorted waves of heat.
The cultivators of the Lingyin Sect tried their best to erect a barrier, but they clearly felt powerless. The power displayed by these dragons was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
Although they had witnessed the formidable power of the Chilong in its battle against Baiying, they truly understood the meaning of terror only when they actually engaged in close combat with it.
With a "pfft," a mouthful of blood spurted from Ling Yu's mouth. She staggered, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
"Senior Sister!" Upon seeing this, the people around her called out anxiously to Ling Yu, their faces full of worry as they looked at her. They couldn't help but turn their gazes to Bai Ying. At this moment, Bai Ying's eyes were closed, clearly in the process of recovery.
Before Bai Ying closed her eyes, she said that if she felt she couldn't hold on any longer, she should wake her up.
Everyone was filled with worry. Someone cautiously looked at Lingyu and hesitated before saying, "Senior Sister, should we go and wake Baiying up?"
"No need!" Ling Yu forced herself to speak, her body trembling slightly, but she still managed to wipe away the trace of blood from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes held a stubborn determination that refused to give up easily, and she said, word by word, "Didn't we agree that it would be left to us? We'll fight to the death to hold on until Bai Ying fully recovers. Bai Ying has endured so much for us; now it's our turn to stand guard for her!"
"Good!" The other Lingyin Sect cultivators echoed in unison, their voices filled with determination.
They gritted their teeth, veins bulging on their foreheads, and poured their spiritual energy into the barrier with all their might. The spiritual energy flowed in continuously, causing the barrier to tremble slightly and emit a faint glow.
They had only one thought in their minds: they had to hold on, they absolutely could not allow those despicable beasts to break through the barrier, and they had to buy Bai Ying time to recover.
However, those dragons were simply too powerful. Even though Bai Ying had already inflicted heavy damage on them, these dragons still retained terrifying strength second only to the Nascent Soul stage, and their numbers were vast. Each attack from the dragons was like a heavy hammer slamming into the barrier.
The cultivators of the Lingyin Sect felt each second drag on like a year. At this moment, not only was their senior sister Ling Yu coughing up blood, but the others also couldn't help but vomit blood one after another. Mouthfuls of blood sprayed onto the barrier, mingling with the faint spiritual light, creating a particularly tragic scene. They felt as if countless steel needles were piercing their internal organs, the pain unbearable.
Everyone was filled with sadness and resentment. They had promised to support Bai Ying, but could they only hold on for such a short time? It was truly humiliating that they couldn't even buy Bai Ying enough time to drink a cup of tea.
But their bodies were nearing their limits, and their spiritual energy was about to be depleted; they could barely hold on any longer.
Ling Shuang gritted her teeth, already intending to wake Bai Ying. But just then, they felt the terrifying pressure pressing down on them suddenly ease.
Has Bai Ying woken up? But according to the timeline, shouldn't it be before then?
They turned around in confusion, only to see cultivators from other sects rushing towards them. They all stopped and, without hesitation, released their spiritual power, joining the fight against the dragons.
"I'm sorry," the men said, their faces filled with shame. Despite being fellow cultivators, they had hidden behind Bai Ying, leaving her to bear the risks alone. Now, they watched helplessly as the Lingyin Sect cultivators fought to the death while they remained uninvolved, feeling utterly ashamed. Their assistance was a way to atone for their guilt.
"We're here to help you." The voices, though not in unison, carried a firm resolve.
Seeing this, the cultivators of the Lingyin Sect were overjoyed and quickly poured all their spiritual power into the barrier again. Instantly, the barrier shone brightly. Although it still appeared somewhat fragile, teetering under the frenzied attacks of the dragons, no matter how fiercely the dragons bit, breathed fire, or roared, they could not break through it.
Seeing this, everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief. But they dared not relax in the slightest; everyone fought with all their might, with only one belief in their hearts: as long as they could hold out until Bai Ying woke up!
"Hold on, everyone! I'll fight to the death to hold this position."
"Yes! We have to hold on no matter what!"
For a time, everyone was fighting desperately.
Time passed by, and although everyone felt exhausted, they persevered.
