The next moment, numerous ice blades rained down, shattering the magic barrier on Li Molin's back in a mere instant. They landed mercilessly on Li Molin's back, instantly turning him into a hedgehog.
Blood splattered instantly, and Li Molin frowned, unable to suppress a muffled groan.
Held protectively in Li Molin's arms, Liuli was deeply moved. Hearing Li Molin's muffled groan, she realized she couldn't let him shield her from the ice blades alone. She tried to move, but before she could escape his embrace, she heard his weak growl: "Don't move!"
Liuli paused, and suddenly a bright crimson light shone before her eyes. She saw Li Molin throw a crimson bead into the air. The bead was the size of an infant's fist and emitted a scarlet light that was about ten feet in diameter. It rushed into the sky and completely melted away the ice blades above Li Molin and Liuli's heads.
Li Molin weakly leaned his head on Liuli's shoulder, muttering a spell. The blood-red bead shot rapidly upwards, reaching the highest point in the sky in an instant. By then, Li Molin's magic power was exhausted, and blood was gushing from his back. His eyelids felt heavy, and he was on the verge of fainting. At the last moment, he managed to utter a short incantation. A deafening explosion resounded in the sky, and a bright crimson light shone brightly. The bead exploded, the force of the explosion affecting a radius of about a mile, blasting a rift about two feet wide and ten feet long into the sky.
Li Molin felt weak and leaned his whole body against Liuli, weakly saying, "Liuli... escape... let me go, escape."
Liuli gathered the little spiritual power she had left and hugged Li Molin tightly as he slowly slid down. The moment her hand touched his back, she felt a warm, smooth sensation. Liuli knew it was Li Molin's blood, and her hand trembled slightly.
With some difficulty, Liu Li carried Li Molin and slowly flew into the air, calling out urgently, "Li Molin, don't die, please don't die, I'll take you out... I'll take you out..."
She was already exhausted, and her spiritual energy was almost depleted. She carried Li Molin as she climbed upwards, but her speed was extremely slow.
At that moment, the gap in the air was slowly closing. In a panic, Liuli mustered her last bit of strength and leaped upwards.
Having escaped the deadly formation, Liuli had no strength left and fell helplessly with Li Molin in her arms. Fearing that Li Molin's injuries would worsen, Liuli deliberately cushioned her fall, instantly causing her body to ache. With a pained expression, she carefully pushed Li Molin down, not even bothering to observe their surroundings, her first glance fixed on the wound on Li Molin's back.
Because they had left the death formation, the outside temperature was much higher. The many ice blades on Li Molin's back had melted into water, which mixed with blood and flowed all over the ground, reflecting his bloody and mangled back. It was a truly shocking sight.
Liu Li's brow twitched, and she cautiously reached for Li Molin's nose. Only when she felt a faint but warm breath did she let out a long sigh of relief. She wanted to use her spiritual power to heal him, but she had absolutely no spiritual power left in her body.
Just as she was at her wit's end, Li Molin's body trembled slightly, and his eyes slowly opened a crack. Liuli quickly brought her face closer, and Li Molin saw her through his blurry vision for the first time.
Li Molin managed a weak smile, his voice barely audible as he asked, "Liu...Liuli, am I...am I still alive?...Or did we...die together?"
"You jinx!" Liuli said unhappily, "We're not dead... Hey, Li Molin, are you alright? The wound on your back looks really bad, but I don't have any spiritual power to heal you..."
At that time, blood was still seeping from the crisscrossing wounds on Li Molin's back, making him look extremely pitiful and mangled.
A faint emerald light flickered from within Li Molin's wide sleeves, and a black medicine bottle appeared out of thin air, floating before Liuli's eyes. Li Molin's voice was hoarse as he slowly said, "Give me... the medicine in the bottle..."
"Okay!" Liuli quickly reached out her small hand to catch the black jade bottle. She poured out a pill from the bottle and gave it to Li Molin to eat, asking, "Is one okay?"
Li Molin swallowed the pill and mumbled, "That's enough..."
Moments after he took the pill, the bleeding from the wound on his back stopped and began to heal slowly.
Liuli exclaimed in surprise, "These pills are amazing! What are they?"
Li Molin chuckled softly and said in a low voice, "This is a healing elixir from my demon clan, a divine pill. If you like it, I'll give you the rest of the bottle."
"Really?" Liuli asked with a smile, clutching the jade bottle tightly.
"Really." Li Molin glanced at her, his eyes smiling.
Liuli put the jade bottle away, her gaze towards Li Molin filled with gratitude. She sincerely said, "Li Molin, thank you so much for what happened in that death formation. From now on, I, Liuli, will consider you my closest friend!"
By this time, Li Molin had regained some strength. He struggled to his feet, sat down against the cave wall, glanced at Liuli, and said with a smile, "Friend? What did you take me for before?"
"You bastard!" Liuli said matter-of-factly.
Li Molin paused, then shook his head helplessly.
