"Boom boom boom..."
More than twenty lightning bolts struck simultaneously, and a hint of madness flashed in Feng Yi's eyes.
In that instant, even Murong Yan sensed something was wrong and immediately protected Qin Wan.
Jiang Liufeng: "!!!" Junior brother, you have no martial ethics!
Nie Xiao: "!!!" Senior Brother lied to me!
After failing to change the direction of the lightning tribulation, Feng Yi decided to go all in and flew directly towards Qin Wan...
Yes, Feng Yi is a smart man, although he also looks down on Murong Yan, Jiang Liufeng, and Nie Xiao.
But that doesn't stop him from picking on the weak.
Qin Wan has no cultivation; if she were struck by lightning, she would surely die.
In the past, although he disliked Qin Wan, he was too lazy to bother arguing with a junior like her.
Now, he dislikes Qin Wan, finds her an eyesore, and hopes she will disappear completely.
Noticing Feng Yi's gaze, Qin Wan narrowed her eyes dangerously.
I was originally planning to keep you around so I could have some fun with you.
Since you insist on courting death, don't blame me for making the most of you.
Just as Murong Yan was about to make a move, Feng Yi suddenly threw a talisman at him, immobilizing him...
It was actually a binding talisman drawn by someone with the cultivation level of the Tribulation Transcending stage!
Even though Murong Yan was a descendant of immortals, he was frozen in place for a moment and unable to move.
"Senior brother..."
Upon noticing Murong Yan's stiffness, Qin Wan immediately took out her protective magic item and placed it in front of him without hesitation.
Make the most of everything!
Feng Yi, you're really cooperating!
"Qin Wan, get out of the way!"
Murong Yan panicked.
Even though Qin Wan produced a protective magic weapon crafted by two Nascent Soul stage elders of the sect, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he still showed a look of fear.
That was a tribulation lightning strike during the Nascent Soul stage!
Moreover, because of their intervention, the power of this tribulation lightning increased several times over.
Even if Qin Wan had a protective magic weapon, it wouldn't be able to protect the two of them at all.
"boom!"
"Bang!"
Dozens of lightning bolts struck down simultaneously.
At the critical moment, Feng Yi not only failed to dodge the lightning tribulation, but also launched a full-force attack at Qin Wan.
"puff……"
A mouthful of bright red blood spurted from Qin Wan's mouth.
Her slender, fragile body flew backward...
Even with Qin Wan's protection, Murong Yan was still severely injured under the lightning tribulation.
Even though he was in excruciating pain and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, he still flew over without hesitation to catch Qin Wan.
"Qin Wan?"
"Junior sister?"
"Wake up!"
Even the usually calm and composed Murong Yan panicked at this moment.
He considered countless possible solutions.
He possessed countless magical artifacts left by his parents; he clearly had enough strength to protect Qin Wan.
But what he didn't expect was that Feng Yi didn't use an attack talisman on him, nor was it anything that could destroy the world.
It's just a magic spell that freezes you in place...
However, after a brief moment of helplessness, he could only watch helplessly as Qin Wan was knocked away in front of him.
The girl in my arms was deathly pale, devoid of her usual vibrancy and life, as fragile as a porcelain doll, as if she might shatter at any moment...
"Senior brother, I, I'm not, I'm fine..." As she spoke, glaring blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth.
After she finished speaking, her hand fell limply to her side, her pale face resting quietly in his arms, unresponsive...
You deserve to die!!!
Murong Yan raised his eyes to look at Feng Yi. His bloodshot eyes seemed inhuman, and boundless darkness enveloped Feng Yi.
His aura was suddenly locked, and he tried to escape but found himself unable to move. A suffocating feeling of death engulfed him.
At this moment, Feng Yi finally panicked!
You're not human!
Who are you?!
Murong Yan did not answer him. Feng Yi tried to struggle and retrieve the various treasures from his Qiankun Ring to help him escape.
Alas...
Locked by the laws of space, he was not only unable to move, but his connection with the Qiankun Ring also seemed to have been severed.
...
The world was completely silent.
Feng Yi disappeared.
It was swallowed by darkness.
Murong Yan took Qin Wan away and left.
Jiang Liufeng and Nie Xiao looked at each other, both seeing fear and unease in each other's eyes.
"Junior sister... will she be alright?" Nie Xiao asked anxiously.
"Judging from Junior Brother's reaction, I'm afraid... it's hard to say," Jiang Liufeng said with a grim expression.
"So what do we do now?" Nie Xiao asked, bewildered.
"Let's go back to the sect and inform our master first," Jiang Liufeng said with a grave expression.
Tianyuan Sect.
Forbidden area in the back mountain.
Qin Wan lay on the icy bed, surrounded by Murong Yan, Qin's father, and the two patriarchs of the sect, their faces solemn and grim.
"These injuries were caused by the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation..." the ancestor said solemnly after examining Qin Wan.
“It’s Feng Yi’s Nascent Soul Tribulation,” Murong Yan said in a deep voice.
"Is there any way to cure this?" Qin's father asked the two elders, his eyes red with tears.
The old ancestor looked reluctant and lowered his eyes to avoid Qin's father's gaze.
Upon seeing this, Qin's father felt a jolt of fear, overwhelmed by a strong sense of foreboding.
"Ancestor, I beg you, please save Wanwan!"
"I only have one daughter!"
"She is the only bloodline of Yun'er and me. I couldn't protect Yun'er during the great battle back then, and now I can't let anything happen to Wanwan!"
"Ancestor, I beg you!"
"No matter what method I use, as long as it can save Wanwan, even if it means trading my life for hers, I'm willing to give my life for Wanwan's life!"
Qin's father was truly panicked.
The usually dignified sect leader now had red eyes and a look of despair on his face.
"To exchange one's life for another..." Murong Yan murmured softly.
The old ancestor seemed to have sensed his thoughts and looked at him with disapproval.
"Ayan, defying fate is impossible!"
"You should know that you are the last hope of the cultivation world, and you should obey the will of Heaven..."
Murong Yan looked directly into the ancestor's eyes, his expression resolute. "She was injured while saving me. Even if I had to give my life to save hers, it would be worth it."
The old ancestor opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing more.
He knew very well that what Murong Yan was going to do was something he couldn't change.
"Fine."
"This is the karma between you and Qin Wan, and you will have to repay it yourself in the end."
"Do whatever you want, and your senior brother and I will protect you."
Although Qin's father was reluctant to let Murong Yan sacrifice himself for Qin Wan, seeing Qin Wan lying pale and on the edge of death on the icy bed, his selfishness ultimately prevailed.
Suppressing his reluctance and words of dissuasion, Qin's father closed his eyes, turned around, and left the cave without looking back, joining the two elders to protect Murong Yan.
Beside the icy bed, Murong Yan's long, warm fingertips gently touched Qin Wan's pale, cold face...
"I had no idea when you started having feelings for me."
"We've only known each other for a few months..."
"You actually risked your life to protect me..."
"Tell me, who is whose calamity, you or me?"
As he spoke, Murong Yan's warm, rough fingertips unconsciously landed on Qin Wan's pale, bloodless lips...
[Murong Yan's favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 78.]
It has to be said that the "hero saves the damsel in distress" tactic is really effective and works every time, provided that the logic is sound and there are no flaws or mistakes to point out.
