"The tail of the water serpent is as wide as twenty or thirty cattles. When it strikes with an arrogant demeanor, everyone feels as if the sky is falling, perhaps in the next moment, the sky and earth will close, returning to chaos."
"Yes, everyone felt this way when they faced the fourth attack from the water snake."
What no one expected was that at the very moment the "sky" seemed to collapse, a divine being enveloped in lightning raised the sky itself!
Wu Keji couldn't believe his eyes!
Qin Ming is incredulous as he watches the demon god in front of him.
Additionally, the dozen or so people who are still conscious, including the dragon girl Sanjiu, Gao Chen, Xu Yang, and Zhang Ling, all pause for a moment as they gaze at the colossal figure of the demon god.
You were already safe just now.
Why do you have to turn around and return again?
At this moment, everyone was very confused as they looked at Chen Yun.
Wu Keji, Qin Ming, and the rest of the group have been accumulating a relationship of over 50 years. They are willing to live and die together with everyone, although it requires a lot of courage, it is reasonable.
People, no matter how they are, always have emotions.
Especially considering the deep bond that has been maintained for forty or fifty years?
It can be said that Wu Keji, Qin Ming, and some of the old people present are not just brothers and sisters, but more like siblings. As for those young cultivators, they are also the descendants of their friends, so they have the responsibility to live and die together with everyone in critical moments.
And Chen Yun?
He has only truly spent a couple of days with the people present.
Amazingly, he is willing to risk his life to help everyone.
Everyone suddenly felt a surge of emotions called moved.
Even Zhang Ling, the young girl, was so moved by Chen Yun's self-sacrificing act of saving them that her eyes filled with tears.
Wu Keji couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen, you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yun, without looking back, spoke quickly and ordered: "Whoever has the strength left, take everyone out of here as soon as possible. I'll hold it off first."
Qin Ming was taken aback, "You're going to hold it off? What about us after we escape? How will you survive?"
Chen Yun said, "I have a way to escape! There's no time to explain now. You quickly take advantage of the opportunity and run!"
Wu Keji smiled bitterly and said, "I have no strength left."
It was the same for the dragon girl Sanjiu, Gao Chen, Xu Yang, and others. Although they hadn't used any magical arts earlier, they had already exhausted their strength in resisting the powerful shocks from the water snake's relentless attacks. They had nothing left to take everyone to safety.
In a matter of a few words, the water serpent once again raised its massive tail.
Everyone knows that if no one takes any action, Chen Yun will not be able to hold out for long.
By then, everyone will die!
Qin Ming's eyes flashed with determination, "I have a secret technique that can temporarily restore my strength to eighty percent. However, after its use, I will be weak for the next six months. Moreover, the activation requires a moment. Mr. Chen, you need to hold off the water serpent."
Chen Yun replied resolutely, "I know, hurry up and cast the spell!"
Just as the words were finished, the terrifying air waves from the sky rained down one after another!
Chen Yun had already noticed that the fifth attack from the water serpent was coming.
Despite his severe injuries, he roared loudly, then muttered the incantations of the "Bagua Protection Spell" as a massive "Bagua mirror" formed above his body. He then slightly contracted his body and, with a sudden burst of power from his feet, violently shot upwards.
He knew that with his current strength, the Bagua Protection Spell alone would not be enough to withstand the water serpent's current attack. Only by combining his powerful cultivation body could he resist it.
As for the Golden Light Charm, it is Chen Yun's lifesaving skill.
He intended to use this divine incantation only after Wu Keji, Qin Ming, and others had successfully escaped, so that he would have the ability to escape himself.
Otherwise, using the Golden Light Charm alone would consume too much of his power, and he might not have any left to use later for escape.
Just as Chen Yun's Bagua Protection Spell was ready to be cast, Qin Ming also began to chant the incantation: "Obeisance to the Master of Qi Heaven, the elemental energy spreads throughout the ten directions. Great compassion, save suffering. Om Shakra Lila Lama Nam Maha Hūṭu Arhat……"
As Qin Ming chanted the incantation, Chen Yun distinctly felt as if a vast divine power was interfering with the void.
Next, a force broke through the limitations of time and space.
It is unclear whether it originated from the City of Immortals or the universe of another realm, but a divine power has been transmitted.
This divine power was extremely unusual, converging onto Qin Ming's body.
Before Chen Yun could fully sense it, the water serpent's massive tail had already shattered the Bagua mirror and crashed down heavily onto the ground once more.
He roared loudly, not caring about the blood flowing from his body like a fountain, and pushed the tail with both arms again!
Thud!
Chen Yun's huge body, which had just impacted into the sky around four or five zhang high, was suppressed and forced to retreat downward.
In just an instant, he was forced to touch the ground with his feet that had been suppressed.
A loud thunderous boom.
The ground was cratered by his footsteps!
Chen Yun's body was sinking deeper and deeper, but with the determination to save everyone, he gritted his teeth and supported himself.
Finally, after half of his body had sunk into the ground, he managed to withstand the water serpent's attack.
However, the power of the water serpent's tail strike was so overwhelming that even with the Bagua Protection Spell delaying its impact and diminishing its strength, Chen Yun, who had earlier rushed to defend everyone with his body, had already sustained serious injuries. Now colliding with the colossal tail again, he clearly heard a "crack" sound resonating from his bones!
Even the bones strengthened by Taoist cultivation were broken by the water serpent's strike!
Although he hasn't shattered into pieces, Chen Yun knew that under this condition, he could withstand at most one more blow from the water serpent before losing all resistance.
The dragon girl Sanjiu, Zhang Ling, Xu Yang, and the other cultivators watched as Chen Yun's muscles were torn apart, revealing his white bones. Moved to tears, each of them shed tears!
What kind of willpower is it that supports this?
How could he bear the heavy strikes from the water serpent's tail with his bare flesh?
After all, even Wu Keji and Qin Ming, two upper-grade magicians working together, could only withstand three waves of attacks.
Although everyone knows that this does not mean Chen Yun is stronger than Wu Keji and Qin Ming.
After all, the first wave of attacks by the water serpent had a "surprise" factor.
Wu Keji and Qin Ming hadn't had time to react and use their powerful defensive spells. They had sustained severe injuries immediately, and the subsequent strength they could muster might be less than half of their peak performance.
Moreover, from the current attacks of the water serpent, it seems that it relies more on its physical strength, i.e., intimidating others through force.
Chen Yun had cultivated refining body techniques, and with the enhancement from the Taoist body, although his power was far from that of the water serpent, the water serpent never took it seriously, only striking with its tail repeatedly. Therefore, it's not surprising that he could withstand this.
Knowing the specific situation is one thing, but seeing Chen Yun fight for everyone's lives with his body in such a sorry state is another.
Zhang Ling looked at Chen Yun's body covered in terrifying wounds and tears streamed down her face.
Wu Keji, an elderly man in his seventies and eighties, was equally moved and trembled all over. Earlier, he had felt somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Ming's desire to "compete for power" with Chen Yun. However, in the face of life and death, Chen Yun chose to sacrifice himself without hesitation to save everyone. This moved him deeply, but he couldn't help but feel a bit of shame.
Qin Ming, behind him, continued to chant the incantation, "Always have great magical power, widely known and spiritual. Great compassion, save suffering. Om Shakra Lila Lama Nam Maha Hūṭu Arhat..."
Damn, your chanting is really slow!
Hurt badly, Chen Yun panted heavily and couldn't help but snark at Qin Ming in his heart.
Indeed, Qin Ming, who usually chanted spells quickly, for some reason this time chanted the incantation at an extremely slow pace, almost like an ordinary person reciting a spell, "Successive ages and eras, benefiting all sentient beings. Great compassion, save suffering. Om Shakra Lila Lama Nam Maha Hūṭu Arhat..."
At this time, the water serpent acted like a cat playing with a mouse, not hurrying as it once again raised its tail and struck heavily!
So far, the water serpent has not used any other form of attack.
It seemed as if the water serpent barely looked down on the group.
Or maybe it was afraid of killing everyone at once and losing the fun.
The water serpent seemed to be playing, but it was Chen Yun who suffered!
As he watched the huge tail come crashing down again.
He knew that his physical strength alone was not enough to withstand it.
Even if he tried to use the Bagua Protection Spell again like before, it wouldn't work. His body was too injured!
Realizing he could no longer hold back, Chen Yun recited the Golden Light Charm at a rapid pace: "The origin of the heaven and earth, the root of all spiritual energy. Vastly cultivating for countless ages, proving my divine power. Within and beyond the three realms, only the Tao is supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light, shining upon me."
As he chanted the words "My body is enveloped in golden light, shining upon me,"
A sudden burst of solemn and radiant light erupted within his body.
This radiant light was as bright as the midday sun in June, sacred and inviolable, enveloping Chen Yun's entire body instantly!
The powerful and intimidating strike of the water serpent's tail collided with the radiant light, obviously stopping for a moment before breaking through it and continuing towards Chen Yun below!
Just as the water serpent's tail was about to crash into Chen Yun's head.
Suddenly, Chen Yun's entire body was filled with surging Qi, which shot upwards directly and transformed into a powerful Qi impact, hitting the water serpent's huge tail heavily!
Everyone could only see a column of pure Qi rising up from the ground, like a supporting pillar piercing through the heavens, while the water serpent's massive tail was locked in place, enduring terrifying energy impacts!
"Moo!"
The water serpent let out a cry for the first time, sounding like a cow's moo but muffled as if rolling thunder!
Even though the water serpent's physical body was incredibly strong, it was still cracked open by the impact of the pure Qi blast from the Golden Light Charm, releasing a large amount of mixed blood-red blood from mid-air!
Wu Keji, dragon girl Sanjiu, and others watched in shock.
They never expected that Chen Yun would suddenly burst out with such powerful strength, causing even the water serpent's tough physical body to be cracked open by a blast of pure Qi!
Even though the one-zhang-long wound wasn't significant for the water serpent's massive frame, it was an epic breakthrough. After all, someone among them had inflicted the first genuine wound on the water serpent for the first time!
"This..."
"This power!"
"Mr. Chen's sudden burst of power is terrifying!"
Gao Chen, Xu Yang, Ding Xu, and some other cultivators who were still conscious were all greatly shaken internally.
Even before Chen Yun fought against the sword cultivator Yuan Chu, they had seen the Golden Light Charm.
It was just that Chen Yun had not displayed such a fierce Qi column impact attack before.
Now, upon seeing this scene for the first time and witnessing the water serpent's tail being struck with a wound, everyone was naturally overwhelmed!
Unfortunately, the impact of the pure Qi strike did not last long.
After all, the Golden Light Charm consumed an overwhelming amount of power.
After the pure Qi impact ended, Chen Yun knelt in the basin struck by the water serpent, gasping heavily and heavily.
Just now, he had fully burst out all his spiritual power, almost depleting it!
Wu Keji concernedly called out, "Mr. Chen..."
Chen Yun had no time to waste with them. He turned to look at Qin Ming and shouted loudly, "You son of a bitch, your incantation hasn't finished yet? If you don't hurry up, we're all going to die here!"
Wrapped in a strange beam of light, Qin Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and his speech rate instantly became incredibly fast, reciting the final segment of the incantation, "Holy wisdom manifests the true sect; clear and ever firm. Great compassion, saving suffering. Om Shakra Lila Lama Nam Maha Hūṭu Arhat!"
It's done!
Qin Ming's cursed spell has finally been completed at a critical moment!
The next moment, his whole body was filled with a glow that shone like jade, illuminating the entire cave as if a god had descended.
Chen Yun heaved a long sigh of relief, finally... enduring to this moment!
