Yokoyama Ichiro's feelings were in sync with the masked man's. The two grown men clung to each other in terror until the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and the mountains and rivers surged and shifted.
Zhu Lin carried Xingxing as he flew higher and higher. The island had already broken into pieces and was drifting in different directions. He could only carry Xingxing to the highest and largest mountain to avoid being sunk into the sea with the island.
Chiyo Yokoyama followed closely behind, but their situation was truly perilous. Gale-force winds raged, torrential rain lashed down, mountains shifted, seas churned, and people and horses were thrown about...
"Ah." Yokoyama Chiyo accidentally stepped into thin air and was about to fall into the abyss when she used her inner strength to leap up and accurately grab the boy's clothes.
At this moment, the boy was leaping into the air towards the other side. Because the mountain beneath his feet had cracked open, he had to fly to the other side to make way for solid ground. But as soon as he jumped, he felt a sinking sensation below him, as if something was gripping him. He quickly glanced down.
He discovered that a hand was gripping his clothes. Without a doubt, apart from the female Japanese pirate, no one else could keep up with his speed. So he swung his sword without hesitation.
Yokoyama Chiyo reacted extremely quickly. By this time, she had recovered and, before the sword struck, she released the boy's clothes and leaped towards a distant mountain peak, finally landing steadily.
At the same time, Zhu Lin also landed with Xingxing in his arms. With one arm around her and the other wielding his sword, he met Yokoyama Chiyo's sword strike. The two instantly became locked in a fierce battle.
While attacking, Yokoyama Chiyo glanced darkly at the person in the boy's arms. Even at this point, with the natural disaster to deal with and fighting her, he still refused to let go, protecting the person in his arms tightly. Did he value the person in his arms that much?
For no apparent reason, Yokoyama Chiyo felt a strange and inexplicable jealousy. She had only one thought: to cut the princess out of the boy's arms at any cost, to make her lose her protection, and to see her panicked and pathetic state.
But the boy didn't let her succeed. Although he could only use one hand, he was still able to fight her to a draw. At the moment, neither of them could do anything to the other, but the female pirate was really troublesome. The boy wanted to take Xingxing to a safe place where they wouldn't get wet in the rain, but he couldn't get away.
Zhu Lin was worried that Xingxing would get sick from being in the rain for too long. He had to kill the female Japanese pirate as soon as possible, otherwise she would keep bothering him and getting in his way.
Just as the young man was about to unleash a powerful attack to kill the female Japanese pirate with a single sword strike, a sudden, tremendous roar came from above. All three of them were startled and looked up to see that the entire mountaintop seemed to have been cleaved in two by some invisible force, and then shifted amidst the raging wind.
At that moment, the mountaintop that had been cut off was rapidly falling, pressing down on the three of them. In the nick of time, Zhu Lin pushed Xingxing away, using his internal force to push her out of the area where the mountaintop would collapse.
Although there is no safe place now, Xingxing is a blessed person, and God will take care of her; nothing will happen to her.
"Brother Phosphorus!" Xingxing cried out hoarsely, but couldn't stop flying backward until she fell a distance away from the 'Mount Tai pressing down'.
Xingxing was in a hurry to get up, but the wind blew her off balance. Luckily, there was a pine tree next to her. She reached out and grabbed it, managing to stand up. When she looked out into the wind and rain, all she could see was the massive mountaintop looming down. She couldn't see anything else.
She cried out in a hoarse voice, "Brother Phosphorus, no!"
But the wind and rain drowned out her voice, and her tears were washed away by the rain. After crying for a while, she suddenly stopped. What was she crying about?
Tears are the most useless thing. She shouldn't cry. She should go save Brother Lin. No matter what, they should be together.
Taking a breath, she released her grip on the pine tree and ran headlong toward the sheer mountain peak. Her vision was obstructed by the wind and rain, and she thought the boy was trapped under the mountain. Through the raging storm, she could only vaguely see the mountaintop; she couldn't see anything else.
In fact, the boy was lifting the mountain with all his might, but the human strength was too small to bear the weight. Before the mountaintop pressed down on him, he took out a magical artifact from his spatial storage space and barely managed to withstand the enormous pressure.
Chiyo Yokoyama originally wanted to escape, but she was a step too slow and failed to escape. She could only lift her hands to support the mountain with the boy.
She could already sense that the boy was about to give up, because she could clearly feel the burden he was bearing was getting heavier and heavier.
"Pfft!" Yokoyama Chiyo spat out a mouthful of blood. If she couldn't think of a way to escape from the bottom of the mountain, she and her opponent would be crushed into meat patties.
"Brother Phosphorus..." Zhu Phosphorus was in a daze when he suddenly heard Xingxing's voice, and he snapped back to his senses.
"Don't come any closer," he uttered in a low voice.
But at that moment, he was using all his strength to support the mountain, so the sound was so quiet that only he could hear it.
He couldn't die. He had to get out of there as soon as possible, otherwise Xingxing would definitely run in to find him no matter what. He couldn't let Xingxing get hurt, and he couldn't watch her die.
Just as Yokoyama Chiyo was about to collapse from exhaustion, she heard the sound of stars and quickly felt the weight she was bearing suddenly lighten, as if the entire mountaintop had been tossed up a little bit.
Although it was only a small amount, it was enough to support the people at the bottom of the mountain to escape. Zhu Lin absorbed spiritual energy from the mustard seed space, and for a moment he received spiritual power. This was his life-saving method, a secret technique that could only be used when his life was in danger and he was on the verge of death.
He used his spiritual power to toss the mountaintop into the air, then seized the opportunity to dart out, grabbing Xingxing before she could run in, and quickly escaped the place.
