Without thinking of anything else, Shui Yanling and I rushed over to support Grandpa. "Grandpa, are you alright?" "I'm fine," Grandpa shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the three-headed hellhound, but his face was completely bloodless.
"Cough cough, this beast is about to break free. Once it does, we'll all die here. Don't worry about me, just protect Yanling."
Grandpa said while coughing.
Shui Yanling felt even more distressed upon hearing her grandfather's words. At this point, she was still thinking of hiding her identity from Fang Shuang.
Shui Yanling bit her lip lightly, as if she had made a decision, then lowered her head, and her aura changed drastically, with a strong energy emanating from her body.
"Fang Shuang, I..." Shui Yanling said once, but I immediately waved my hand to interrupt her. Feeling the aura emanating from her, I wasn't surprised at all.
After I stepped out of that golden gate, I seemed to be able to sense some auras again. I even sensed the energy emanating from Shui Yanling. Although it was weak, I could definitely tell that she was no ordinary person.
Chapter Seventy-Nine: Inviting the Gods
Although I didn't know why, there was no time to ask her now. I smiled at Yanling, then turned to Grandpa and said, "Grandpa, don't worry about it anymore. Leave it to me and Yanling!" I gently took Grandpa's hand, which was reaching into his chest. In his hand, he had taken out a piece of yellow paper that was exactly the same as the one from before. It was obvious that Grandpa was going to invite the gods again.
However, I could sense that Grandpa would become even weaker after invoking the spirits. Obviously, this method would deplete a lot of his vital energy, so how could I let Grandpa continue to take the risk? Shui Yanling nodded after hearing my words. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't continue. After all, this was clearly not a good opportunity.
Grandpa glanced at me and Yanling, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "Alright, you two hold on for a while, don't push yourselves. I need to recover my energy."
Yanling and I nodded, then stood up at the same time. Grandpa sighed, and could only try to recover some of his energy first.
The moment the protective shield rose, the three-headed hellhound's attack descended, landing directly on the seven-colored shield.
However, it seems that the energy of this seven-colored protective shield is too strong. The poisonous gas and the Netherworld Fire cannot get in at all. They can only slowly corrode the protective shield. And for some reason, the sound waves of the wolf head in the middle have been weakened by the protective shield. Now they have almost no impact on us.
Although the protective shield felt very strong, completely blocking the Netherfire and poison gas, I knew it couldn't last long, and we couldn't wait. Once it came out, who knew what other abilities it might have?
The sheer pressure from the fact that most of its body is exposed is already immense; this is a battle of time, and neither side wants to wait.
Sure enough, not long afterward I saw that half of the golden-armored warrior supporting the Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella had begun to slowly turn into golden light and dissipate into the air.
Every time the golden-armored warrior's body dissipated a little, the rotation speed of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella slowed down, and the seven-colored light that originally supplied the protective shield gradually decreased.
The poisonous gas and ghostly fire outside became even more rampant, completely covering the protective shield and seemingly threatening to crush it.
However, the seven-colored protective shield was gradually weakening, and soon a small opening appeared in some places, through which poisonous gas slowly drifted towards us.
Shui Yanling and I exchanged a glance, realizing that we could no longer wait and had to act quickly.
"After this protective shield disappears, let's act together."
I said to Shui Yanling.
Although I don't know exactly how powerful Yanling is, I have a feeling that she might be much stronger than I am now.
Shui Yanling nodded, her eyes also showing a hint of coldness. I couldn't help but tremble a little when I saw this. In my memory, Yanling had always been a gentle and weak person, but she had never been like this before.
But I didn't have time to think about it anymore. I shook my head. Maybe this is what she's really like. And I don't care what she looks like, I like her.
With that in mind, I mustered all my strength and carefully sensed the energy fluctuations within my body.
I don't know why, even though I had used up most of my energy with that first punch, after a short while, I felt like my energy was coming back on its own.
What I didn't know was that all of this was because of that black pill that was quietly rotating in my lower abdomen.
The black elixir is located right in my dantian, just like the central hub of my meridians, and it is responsible for continuously providing energy to my meridians to nourish my body.
After all, my body had never been filled with so much energy before. It was as if my meridians had been maliciously blocked. Now that they were suddenly opened, without this black pill, I would have been burst by the continuous flow of energy.
The energy within my body is constantly gathering and compressing together. I know that I currently only have energy, but I don't know how to use it. It's like a wealthy landowner using gold to buy sweet potatoes, which is a losing proposition.
But I had no other choice but to do this, so I came up with a method that I had seen in school before: whatever you compress, it can cause violent movement of the internal molecules, thereby generating tremendous force.
