His actions were completely unexpected, even startling Yue Qi himself.
Brother, we don't seem to know each other very well, do we? I feel embarrassed that you trust me so much.
Yan Qing could only manage a wry smile. She could only cast a sympathetic glance at Mu Xiao. This guy was truly a lifesaver; now, all four corners were complete.
She looked at the strange stone platform, and sure enough, the cracks on it were more pronounced.
The next moment, the stone platform suddenly emitted a ray of red light, enveloping all four people.
"What, what is that?!"
Wen Jiajia, who was resting, was also frightened by this scene and ran over. She dared not be alone in the corner; this place was too eerie.
She grabbed Sun Qiang's hand and said anxiously, "Don't we have to find a way to save them? I don't think that red light is anything good!"
Wen Jiajia knew very well that without Yan Qing and the other three, she might be the next to be sacrificed. Although she was confident, she wasn't stupid and wouldn't completely rely on Sun Qiang's momentary soft heart.
But Sun Qiang didn't make any move, he just said something indifferently.
"The formation has already been activated; we're a step too late." Indeed, as he spoke, Yan Qing and the other three were already being involuntarily sucked into the air.
Yan Qing felt as if all her strength had left her, and could only watch helplessly as the eerie red light sucked her to the left side of the stone platform.
Behind her, directly behind the stone platform, was Yue Qi. At this moment, Yue Qi's reaction was similar to hers.
Directly in front of her stood the monk Yuanhui. Unlike everyone else, a small yellow dot seemed to be spinning between Yuanhui's eyebrows. He was also the only one who hadn't lost his strength.
Monk Yuanhui manipulated the small yellow dot emerging from between his eyebrows, continuously absorbing the red light emanating from the stone platform. At first, it was very easy, but as time went on, his expression became increasingly strained.
"puff--"
Monk Yuanhui coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, utterly powerless.
However, a small portion of the red light on the stone platform had not been fully absorbed. Now that Monk Yuanhui had collapsed, the lives of the other three were instantly in danger.
The remaining small portion of red light seemed to become exceptionally spiritual; all the light instantly split into three, directly bypassing Monk Yuanhui and rushing straight towards the three of them.
"Not good! Use your magic weapons! This thing is the Fiery Jade Light; if it touches you, you'll die instantly! Don't hold back! Activate all your protective magic weapons!"
While loudly instructing the two, Yue Qi first set up a white, hazy sword and shield. He wanted to help them, but the fiery, shimmering light was exceptionally cunning, and his sword and shield couldn't reach them at all.
It seems it's time to give it our all.
Yan Qing had already activated the "Nana's Blessing" protective shield the moment the red light began to differentiate. At the same time, the magic weapon, the Heaven and Earth Dice, transformed into its original form, with the swirling Xuan above her head. All the red light that came into contact with it immediately dodged away.
Hey, this looks promising!
She was pleasantly surprised to discover that her magical artifact, the Heaven and Earth Dice, had such a function. Although it couldn't compare to the Buddhist exorcising artifacts, it still delighted her.
As a result, she became the most relaxed of the three.
Compared to her, Mu Xiao's situation was much worse.
He also had a bright yellow protective shield above his head, but it was visibly vibrating incessantly, clearly indicating that he was not able to keep up.
The fiery lights seemed to have discovered his weakness as well. All the red light gathered together once again, turning into a huge beam of red light that abandoned Yan Qing and Yue Qi and rushed towards Mu Xiao.
"Not good!" Sun Gui shouted from outside the formation, but although he wanted to help, he couldn't get any closer.
An invisible barrier stood between the two groups of people, preventing either of them from crossing it.
A look of despair crossed Mu Xiao's face as he muttered to himself, "I never imagined that my final fate would be to perish here."
The enormous red beam of light, like a ferocious dragon, lunged at him with bared fangs and claws. Mu Xiao closed his eyes and simply gave up all resistance.
"Slap—slap—slap—"
After three tremors, the yellow protective shield finally collapsed completely, and it seemed that Mu Xiao was about to perish here.
Everyone was filled with despair.
Just then, a black protective shield suddenly rose up on Mu Xiao's body, and at the same time, a purple raccoon appeared above his head.
Yue Qi's eyes lit up. He remembered that this was Yan Qing's natal contract, the Nine Nether Brocade Fox.
"Nameless, you go too!" Yue Qi gave the order, and the next moment, the swordsman Nameless, carrying a huge longsword, appeared beside Mu Xiao.
Having narrowly escaped death, Mu Xiao couldn't help but cast grateful glances at the two of them.
"I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life." He didn't say anything nice; he would prove his point with his actions.
With the help of the two people, the enormous fiery light shattered instantly when it struck Mu Xiao.
Huo Yi Qiong Guang also realized that he was completely helpless against the three people in front of him, so he could only frantically ram into their protective shields wave after wave, but unfortunately he could not budge them even a little bit.
After enduring this period, Monk Yuanhui finally woke up slowly and once again tried his best to activate the yellow light between his eyebrows, eventually absorbing the Fire Fiery Light completely.
The moment the fiery light disappeared, the four of them fell from mid-air.
Caught off guard, Yan Qing was thrown into a daze. She landed on her bottom, and the area was so painful she could barely feel it.
Looking at the others, they probably weren't much better off than her. Falling suddenly from mid-air, breaking an arm or leg is quite normal.
However, all four of them had some martial arts skills, and they instinctively rolled over to cushion their fall, so although the fall was quite painful, their bones were at least intact.
The moment the four landed, the stone platform suddenly emitted a series of soft "crackling" sounds, which grew louder and louder until finally, with a final crack, the entire stone platform shattered, scattering stones all over the ground.
Amidst the shattered stones, a "thing" wrapped tightly in a white cloth rolled to Yan Qing's feet.
The "thing" bumped directly against her leg, and the soft touch instantly reminded her of some kind of human tissue, but judging from its shape, she wasn't quite sure.
Yan Qing only had time to reach out and poke the white cloth before it was snatched away by Sun Gui and his companion who rushed over.
Sun Gui stuffed the "thing" into a large black bag in one go, put it in his storage space, then let out a long sigh and revealed an eight-tooth smile.
"Yan Qing, are you alright?"
