As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and a huge crack instantly appeared in the stone wall of the ancient tomb, as if some kind of power was surging within it.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh |"
Countless sharp arrows shot out from the crack, as dense as a torrential rain, whistling straight toward Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened. She immediately swung her longsword, transforming it into a silver barrier to block the continuous barrage of arrows. However, there were simply too many arrows, and she gradually felt overwhelmed, retreating step by step.
"Hahaha, let's see how long you can last!" Mo Tianfeng laughed triumphantly, his eyes flashing with a mad light.
Just as Xu Yuehuai was about to give up, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and quickly stood in front of her, blocking the incoming arrows.
Xu Yuehuai looked up and saw Qi Guze!
"Ah Yue, are you alright?" Qi Guze asked with concern, while his longsword moved even faster, knocking down the arrows one by one.
A warm feeling welled up in Xu Yuehuai's heart. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Be careful."
Qi Guze nodded, glancing at Mo Tianfeng with a cold glint in his eyes. He knew that the enemy before him was cunning and powerful, and he had to be careful.
"You've gone too far! I've seen the letters left on those corpses. You lured all these people here and then killed them!" Qi Guze shouted. "For your own selfish desires, you didn't hesitate to harm so many innocent people!"
Mo Tianfeng looked coldly at Qi Guze, a mocking smile on his face.
He said, "Hmph, you so-called righteous people are always so self-righteous in judging others. What do you know? This world is a dog-eat-dog world. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
Qi Guze stopped arguing with Mo Tianfeng; the most important thing now was to resolve the immediate crisis. He looked at Xu Yuehuai, a sharp glint in his eyes.
“Let’s deal with him together!” Qi Guze said.
Xu Yuehua nodded. She and Qi Guze fought side by side, their teamwork impeccable. The two attacked with their swords at times, and dodged arrows at others, forcing Mo Tianfeng to retreat step by step.
However, Mo Tianfeng was, after all, the "master" of this ancient tomb, and he still had many tricks up his sleeve. Suddenly, he raised his hand and waved it, causing the airflow within the entire tomb to become violent, forming a powerful whirlwind.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were both swept away by the whirlwind, unable to stand firmly. They knew this was Mo Tianfeng's last resort. The two exchanged a glance, having already made their plan.
They decided to fight to the death to defeat Mo Tianfeng!
Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath, gripped the long sword in her hand tightly, gathered all her strength, and slashed fiercely at Mo Tianfeng.
The sword flashed, carrying a gust of wind imbued with internal force, as if carrying the force of a thunderbolt.
Qi Guze followed closely behind, unleashing his strongest attack, sweeping across the battlefield with a single sword strike, heading straight for Mo Tianfeng.
"Bang—!"
The two attacks landed simultaneously on Mo Tianfeng, resulting in a deafening roar that shook the entire ancient tomb. Mo Tianfeng was sent flying by the combined assault, crashing heavily into the stone wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood, a flicker of terror in his eyes.
"superior!"
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze seized the opportunity to rush forward, preparing to deliver the final blow to Mo Tianfeng.
However, at that moment, Mo Tianfeng sneered, "Come with me! Hahahaha!"
It's unclear what mechanism he discovered, but suddenly the ancient tomb seemed to experience an earthquake, the entire tomb swaying and collapsing with a loud rumble.
"Ah Yue!" Qi Guze suddenly rushed towards Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai looked up and saw him standing beside her.
And where she was was where the tremors were most pronounced.
"Aze, what are you doing here? Get out of here!"
"No, since we can't get out of here, let's bury each other here."
Qi Guze held Xu Yuehua tightly, the two inseparable.
“You’re so silly, Aze. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have come back to find you…” Xu Yuehuai choked up as she spoke.
All of this happened in an instant; the next moment, all three of them were buried in the rubble.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yuehuai slowly opened her eyes. She found herself lying in ruins, surrounded by darkness. She tried to move her body and found that apart from some pain, she was otherwise unharmed.
how so?
Did someone secretly help them before the rubble crushed them?
Otherwise, they would have been smashed to pieces long ago!
Who exactly was hiding in the shadows helping them?
She stood up and looked around, but didn't see anyone else standing there.
Qi Guze was lying not far away, unconscious.
Xu Yuehuai quickly went over to check on him and found that he had only temporarily lost consciousness due to the impact.
She breathed a sigh of relief, gently patted his cheek, and called out, "Aze, wake up!"
"Ah Yue!"
Qi Guze slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Yuehuai standing safely in front of him. He gave a weak smile and tightly grasped her hand.
"We're all alright, that's wonderful." Xu Yuehuai's face was covered in dust, and tears mixed with the dust fell down.
"Don't cry, let's see where that person is." Qi Guze tenderly wiped away her tears.
The two helped each other to their feet, then looked around but couldn't find Mo Tianfeng.
"Where is that madman?" Xu Yuehuai was surprised that they had searched almost the entire ruins and still hadn't found him.
"Could he have escaped?" Qi Guze also felt something was strange at this moment.
"No matter where he went, let's hurry up and look for the others." Xu Yuehuai was very worried about Qi Ziang and Tie Chunsheng.
Those two little ones are still so young. If something happens to them, how could she face herself? How could she face Zhou Wan?
Qi Guze frowned, unable to help but feel worried.
He put his arm around Xu Yuehuai and continued searching. "I just separated from them in this area, and I don't know which passage they went through now."
They came to a fork in the road with three paths.
"I see. It seems I went through the opposite passage from you." Xu Yuehuai had felt something was strange at the time, wondering why she couldn't see anyone else after turning around. It turned out that she had mistakenly entered another passage when the mechanism was launched.
“Yes, we took a different route. They probably took the middle route.” After some discussion and deliberation, Qi Guze chose the route that Qi Ziang and his group were most likely to take.
Xu Yuehuai followed closely behind Qi Guze, her heart filled with trust in him. She knew that Qi Guze's choices were always well-considered and he would not act rashly.
