While Pei Jue stared in disbelief, Chu Kuo grinned and boasted, "See? He didn't die. Luckily, this elder didn't go up there, or I would have lost a set of clothes."
Just then, Shen Helin, who was being electrocuted and whose body was smoking, shuddered.
Immediately afterwards, the black slime clumps floating around them severed their connection with the main body and expelled the souls they had just absorbed.
Chu Kuo looked at the soul energy cloud floating in mid-air, his eyes darted around, and he took out a porcelain bottle and began to suck the soul energy cloud into the bottle.
"The souls of those soldiers have been spat out. If you want to save them, quickly take out your spirit stones. I will use the spirit stones as a guide to help them return to their bodies."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jue didn't say a word. He took off the storage bag tied to his waist and threw it over.
"If you cannot be saved, I will hold you responsible."
Chu Kuo laughed as he counted the spirit stones: "Just watch, this elder takes people's money to solve their problems, and will definitely get things done."
As he was releasing the souls one by one back to their rightful places, Shen Helin noticed that his own soul power was gradually weakening under the influence of lightning.
Terror crawled from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
Su Diandian's scum's spiritual root actually contains a power that specifically counters him!
This can't go on.
The only option now is to take a gamble!
Seeing his hair standing on end after being struck by lightning, Su Diandian flashed a row of white teeth: "Sorry, great-grandson, I made your hair stand on end."
Shen Helin remained silent, only struggling to withdraw his hand, which was blackened by the electric shock, and formed a hand seal in front of his chest.
He exhaled a breath of black smoke and said slowly, "Heavenly Palace... open for me!"
Is the Heavenly Palace Small World finally about to open?
Su Diandian excitedly got up, waiting with great anticipation.
He'er rubbed her mouth and reminded her, "Little Linzi, this isn't the Everlasting Victory Hall. The little world inside Mother's belly might not be able to sense it."
"Huh? No way, no way?" Su Diandian was extremely disappointed and grabbed Shen Helin's shoulders, shaking him desperately.
"Great-grandson, you can't let us down at this crucial moment!"
Shen Helin, who was already barely holding on, was shaken so badly that blood flowed from his seven orifices. "Get out of my way!"
"Oh." Su Diandian let go. "Then can you still open the miniature world?"
Shen Helin remained silent, but gritted his teeth and formed another hand seal.
The hand seals were completed, and in an instant, the world changed color.
Thick, dark clouds enveloped the entire city of Shengxian.
Chu Kuo sensed the rapid change in the atmosphere between heaven and earth, and muttered to himself with a cold face: "Sacrificing his lifespan to communicate with the power of heaven and earth, this old guy is going to fight to the death."
Pei Jue, who was helping to rescue his subordinates, also sensed something was wrong. He looked up at the sky in shock, then looked down at the barrier protecting the Ascension City.
The city's protective barrier would inevitably be unable to withstand that terrifying power.
At that time, the city will inevitably be filled with bloodshed and suffering.
He gritted his teeth and cupped his hands to Chu Kuo for help: "Pei Jue begs Senior to take action and protect Shengxian City."
Chu Kuo's face was solemn. "I don't know how far I can go, but considering how many spirit stones you gave me, I'll do my best."
After saying that, he quickly formed hand seals with his hands.
Layer upon layer of barriers enveloped Ascension City.
Pei Jue raised his spear high, "City defenders, heed my command! We swear to defend Shengxian City to the death!"
The city guards responded in unison: "We swear to defend Ascension City to the death!"
Su Diandian's spiritual power was weak, and she didn't have much of a sense of the changes in the world.
She just stared at Shen Helin excitedly, "Great-grandson, it's going to rain soon, hurry up."
"Fool!" He'er chuckled. "My mother will descend upon this place, open the Heavenly Palace within her womb, and devour all life here."
Devouring...all life?
Su Diandian's smile froze as she ran to the edge of the deck to look down at Shengxian City.
The city was surrounded by multiple barriers, making it appear very safe.
Just as she was about to feel at ease, He'er leaned in and snorted, "A barrier of this level is completely useless."
Is it useless?
Su Diandian's heart skipped a beat.
We shouldn't easily ruin someone else's happiness just because she wants to go home.
We have to find a way to get out of here!
Su Diandian manipulated the vines to wrap Shen Helin in a cocoon.
At the same time, she grabbed a handful of spirit stones and ran towards the spirit boat's control panel.
The spirit stone was placed in the bowl, and its light scattered and flowed towards the swift boat of the bandits in the sky.
"Supporting actor, get out of the way!" Su Diandian shouted at Pei Jue.
Pei Jue saw through her intention and quickly made way for her.
As the fast boat took off, he shouted to Chu Kuo, "Elder Chu, the vines are about to give out! Try to hold off Shen Helin!"
Chu Kuo nodded in response with a serious expression.
He took out a tree branch and turned it into a wooden sword in his hand.
Seeing this, Su Diandian couldn't help but ask, "Elder Chu, don't you have any powerful natal magic weapons?"
This guy is so stingy; at such a crucial moment, he actually pulled out a broken tree branch to fight.
“Maintaining your personal magical artifact is very expensive; there are plenty of free tree branches by the roadside that are just as good.”
After Chu Kuo finished speaking, he raised his wooden sword and pointed it directly at Shen Helin.
