One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

But in that instant, these four young people, who had been joking and undermining each other all along, understood the determination in each other's eyes.

Zhang Chulan suddenly changed his tactics.

Instead of fighting to the death, he cursed under his breath, deliberately creating an opening, and dragged his watermelon knife as he ran wildly to the right side of the main hall.

"You little brat! Come and chase after me!"

Zhuge Qing's fire dragon also changed direction, directing all the overwhelming attacks to the right.

Zhang Lingyu even risked his life to withstand a curse seal from the Great Yin-Yang Master, spreading all the Yin Lightning mud towards the right passage.

The four figures were like four magnets, pulling at the hatred between the two terrifying corpse puppets.

Amidst a sky full of lightning and roars.

They gradually pulled the battlefield away from its original location.

On the far left of the main hall, behind a thick stone pillar with a coiled dragon.

A petite figure, protected by a barrier, stood there quietly.

Chen Duo.

Just as the battlefield was separated by a full hundred meters.

"puff!"

Wang Ye, who was supposed to be assisting in suppressing the enemy on the right, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He actually forcibly severed his own Qimen position in the great formation, and at the cost of injuring his primordial spirit, he directly used the Eight Gates Transfer!

"Shh!"

Wang Ye's figure fell from the void.

It slammed heavily onto the edge of the protective shield where Chen Duo was.

He was covered in blood, his Taoist robe was tattered, and the dark circles under his eyes made him look like he was dead.

"Senior Brother Wang Ye!"

Chen Duo's clear eyes narrowed, and she instinctively tried to rush out of the barrier to help him.

"Don't come out!"

Wang Ye pressed his bloodied hand against the edge of the barrier, panting heavily.

He looked up and gave Chen Duo an ugly, yet forced, smile.

"Chen Duo, were you scared?"

Wang Ye coughed up blood while forcing himself to stand up straight.

He silently gripped the ground with both hands, unreservedly pressing the power of the Thunder Seal within his body, along with his own primordial power, into the Qimen formation beneath his feet.

"This old monster's formation is too weak. I just wandered around over there and discovered a back door."

Wang Ye's voice trembled violently, but he tried his best to make his tone sound as nonchalant as usual:

"Chu Lan and the other two draw fire over there, while I quietly open a passage here."

"This passageway isn't wide enough; it can only carry one person at a time."

"You go out first. Run straight down the passage to find Second Master. We'll be right behind you."

Wang Ye suddenly raised both hands upwards!

"crystal!"

Under his all-out tearing, the temple space that Xu Fu had completely sealed off actually emitted a crisp sound.

A spatial rift, just wide enough for one person to pass through, slowly formed behind Chen Duo.

"Go quickly, don't keep the second master waiting."

Wang Ye forced a smile, but his fingernails were already curled and bleeding from the extreme force he was using.

He knew it all too well.

Under the suppression of this terrifying millennium-old formation, tearing open this rift had exhausted all his strength.

Once the passage was closed, he wouldn't even have the strength to stand up.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan and his two companions, who were still struggling to hold on, faced with the almost limitless stamina of the corpse puppet, had only one outcome.

These four grown men are most likely going to die here today.

But so what?

They risked their four lives to protect the master's precious apprentice and get him out.

Protect this little sister who has just crawled out of the dark and hopeless Gu poison and has only just learned how to laugh.

Worth it!

"Come on! What are you waiting for!" Wang Ye's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of anxiety when he saw that Chen Duo hadn't moved.

however.

Chen Duo stood quietly in place.

She lowered her head, looking at Wang Ye's collar, which was stained with blood.

Looking at his trembling hands, which were stubbornly holding up the formation.

Her gaze went past Wang Ye's shoulder.

He looked out a hundred meters away.

There, Zhang Chulan was being kicked away by Minamoto no Yorimitsu and slammed hard against the wall.

But he gritted his teeth and charged forward again, brandishing the chipped watermelon knife.

Zhuge Qing's suit was already stained red with blood, and Zhang Lingyu's white hair was covered with mud.

The three of them were like three moths, burning themselves out with all their might in the face of two invincible beasts.

"You're lying to me."

Chen Duo's voice stood out clearly amidst the thunderous sounds of battle.

Wang Ye's smile froze.

"You want to die here, don't you?"

Chen Duo raised her head.

Those eyes, always clear and quiet, seemingly indifferent to everything.

At this moment, it was shining with a light that had never been seen before.

During her time in the Dark Fortress, she was a monster, a malignant tumor that could unleash deadly poison at any moment.

People around her feared her, were wary of her, and treated her as a tool.

but.

Since I met my master.

Since I started following these people...

Zhang Chulan would argue and cause trouble on the street just to buy her a strawberry-flavored crepe.

Wang would complain as he used the Feng Hou Qi Men technique to shield her from the rain.

Zhuge Qing would find all sorts of ways to buy her those sparkly little trinkets.

Although Zhang Lingyu was old-fashioned, he would always put the tenderest piece of meat into her bowl at every meal.

They complained and grumbled.

But they really treated her like a younger sister.

"I didn't know what home was before."

Chen Duo slowly raised her foot and stepped out of the blue barrier.

"Girl! Are you crazy? Go back now!!!"

Wang Ye's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He tried to push her away, but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

"Senior Brother Wang Ye."

Chen Duo squatted down, stretched out her fair little hands, and gently placed them on Wang Ye's hands, which were covered in blood.

She tilted her head slightly, and a smile brighter than ever appeared on her lips.

“My master said that you are my family.”

"How can I run away while my family is being beaten?"

Chen Duo stood up.

She didn't look at the spatial rift behind her.

She turned around, facing the desolate battlefield.

Facing the two terrifying corpse puppets and the red light filling the sky above the dome.

"boom!"

An aura of utmost purity, never before revealed to the public.

It erupted from within this petite girl!

That is not the mixed true qi cultivated later in life.

That is the most profound and domineering innate thunder essence of the Celestial Master's Mansion!

It is a dazzling lightning that originates from the same source as heaven and earth, blessed by the [innate flawless body]!

Boom!!!

The entire dome of the Takamagahara Shrine trembled at that moment.

The blinding purple lightning, like thousands of wildly dancing dragons, instantly surrounded Chen Duo.

The moon-white robe made him look like a deity descended to earth!
