479 - The last two surviving
“Old bastard, what do your words mean, I..." Dugu Quan was in a complete panic, stopping Ouyang Buping from resting. With anger, "I don't care, I don't want to hear you explain so much. You must heal brother Ye for me, aren't you called the Divine Doctor of Snow Empire, you..."
This old man that had once seen hundreds of snowstorms and rain of Snow Empire in these last hundred years, that had experienced countless storms, this old man that would not change even if a divine mountain collapsed in front of him, right now was in a state of panic where he could not even complete his sentence. He nearly shouted in rage and lost his composure.
Ouyang Buping did not say a single word. He grabbed at his white hair, pulling many strands out in a short while.
"Mister Ouyang, Little Yu, he really, is..." Aunt Heng's voice started trembling.
She did not imagine that things would develop to such an extent.
If such news was known by Aunt Han, then it... No, no matter what the price, they must save Little Yu.
Aunt Heng was entirely clear in her heart what would happen if Ye Qingyu really met with such an incident, just what kind of terrifying consequences would arise as a result of this.
Others did not know Ye Qingyu's true background, but Lu Heng knew in detail.
"No, nothing will happen to Lord." Bai Yuanxing stood by the side, his expression firm as he bit his teeth.
In the eyes of Jin Ling'er, there were already tears sparkling and gathering.
Mother Wu and the others were also helpless.
Lu Heng fell silent for a brief moment. Looking at the complexion of the Divine Doctor Ouyang Buping, she knew that even with the peak medical arts of the Empire, there was no solution.
She lifted her hand, and a gentle energy gathered that lifted Ye Qingyu up. It gradually carried him to the cold stone jad bed at the center of the [Light Palace].
She extended her hand at the side of the bed as if searching for something. Suddenly, her palm pressed down, as if she was activating something.
Yong! Yong!
There was a faint vibrating sound.
The cold stone jade bed suddenly emitted a silver-like radiance, like it was milk. It completely enshrouded Ye Qingyu as well as the two pets within.
Such a scene was outside of everyone's expectations.
"As long as a shred of his life can be preserved, there is still hope for him. I hope that the methods of the [Light Palace], can prove effective on Little Yu. His status is far too special, he..."
Lu Heng thought such thoughts in her heart.
The unconscious Little Nine was also sent to the stone bed, as well as the little silver dragon who lied softly on the transparent ice.
"Everyone go out."
Lu Heng looked towards everyone. "There is a gathering yuan formation within the [Light Palace]. This cold stone jade bed is an absolute treasure, it should be of aid towards Little Yu's wounds. If everyone enters the palace, it will affect the fluctuation of the formation.
Hearing this, everyone was half believing.
But seeing the extremely respectful attitude that Ye Qingyu had towards Lu Heng, as well as the fact that Wang Lijin of the soldier camp would also carry out her commands, they chose to trust her. Furthermore, from her methods, it was clear that she was extremely familiar with the items in the [Light Palace]. Even Ouyang Buping and Dugu Quan could not help but lower their heads, as everyone had to leave.
"Protect the palace, don't allow anyone to enter!"
Lu Heng let out another command.
This woman that normally seemed as gentle as water had a decisiveness that people rarely had at this moment.
"Chi chi chi..."
The little white rabbit squaked in worry. If broke free of Jin Ling'er's hands that wanted to grab it, rushing into the palace...
"Come back, little fellow..." Jin Ling'er wanted to rush in and grab the little white rabbit back.
A thought occurred to Lu Heng, stopping Jin Ling'er.
Time passed by second after second.
From the outside of the [Light Palace], there were sounds of killing constantly sounding out.
The [Earth Fire Essence] within the Earth Fire sword pit constantly erupted. Occasionally, there would be flowing light that rapidly neared and shot into the sword pit.
The killing on the ground had basically halted. As news spread that the martial store had been opened, even the most loyal of experts could not resist this temptation and rushed into the sword pit.
Some Jianghu experts that were loyal to the Left Minister Qu Hanshan as well as the Old Commander Li Guangbi had also charged into the sword pit.
For such martial experts, this was a vast opportunity. If they were able to obtain a cultivation technique or an absolute treasure within the martial store, then they could shoot to the heavens in one moment.
There were a minority of Jianghu experts that remained behind, as well as hundreds of soldiers of the Soldier camp surrounding the [Light Palace].
As time passed by, the blood red light pillar that shot out from the Earth Fire sword pit became fainter and fainter. The blood red was turning into a pale silver, and the energy fluctuation in the air became more and more stable.
In the skies.
Clouds gathered, the sea of clouds like rage.
This massive chaotic storm-like vortex of chaos was still persisting. It slowly moved, as if it would devour the world. That silver pillar of light connected the Earth Fire sword pit as well as that chaotic storm vortex, as if it connected heaven with hell...
A long time had already passed.
According to reason, night should already have passed by and morning should have arrived.
But because the vast chaotic storm cloud was covering everything in the skies, the air above the capital was still completely pitch dark. It was as if a long everlasting night had descended and light would never arrive back, causing countless lives in the capital to tremble with fear.
In the blink of an eye, at least a day and a night had passed by.
There were strange noises constantly emanating from the Earth Fire sword pit.
Like wild beasts howling and screaming.
Or the vicious curses of things just before they died.
Apart from these strange sounds, there were also strange lights that flew by, disappearing in a flash. There was the aura of treasure around them, as if extraordinary treasures were being uncovered...
At this time, outside the City of Light, there were more dark demonic figures that appeared, charging into the sword pit.
These demonic souls were evidently more powerful and careful than those that had charged into the sword pit before.
At the same time.
The pillar of light had completely turned silver. The fluctuation of energy in the air became even clearer, and the chaotic storm in the skies as well as the vortex of chaos gradually increased the speed at which it fluctuated. It became faster and faster, and between the clouds, there were faint bolts of lightning flickering...
In such a scene, there was vast energy constantly being born within the skies. Through the silver pillar of light that connected Heaven and Earth, it entered into the Earth ire sword pit...
For the normal people within Snow Capital, this was completely like the apocalypse had arrived. In the normal roads where it would be completely packed, right now there was only cold wind blowing by. There was not one person to be seen, everyone hiding in their homes, shivering with fear...
Under the miraculous medical arts of Ouyang Buping, Qu Hanshan, Li Guangbi, Qin Zhishui these three graavely injured members of the [Light Palace], also gradually awakened....
Hearing of Ye Qingyu's situation, the three could only let out long sighs. They did not know what to say...
Another day passed by.
Lu Heng always stood silently at the entrance to the [Light Palace], as if she was protecting something, or like she was waiting for something...
The third day.
There were demonic figures that appeared from far away, ten of them. They charged into the Earth Fire sword pit.
The fourth day.
There were eight demonic souls that appeared, all of them even stronger existences.
The fifth day.
There was five.
The sixth day, there was two.
The seventh day, there was one.
The eight day, none.
The ninth day, none.
On the tenth day, there was one.
Seeing the black mist of energy that was like a little hill completely disappear within the Earth Fire sword pit, there was finally a relaxed aura that appeared slightly on Lu Heng's face.
"Those demonic souls are too cunning. But they ultimately could not withstand such a temptation... hopefully this time, we can completely wrap them up," she said, her expression serious.
Approximately an hour later.
Boom!
There was a gigantic explosion that sounded out within the Earth Fire sword pit.
Before the others could react, there were suddenly continuous huge sounds of explosions that constantly sounded out, one following after the other. It was as if there was a chain of humongous firecrackers blowing up from down below.
What followed after this was tragic howls and screams.
The howls of the demonic souls was so loud it was as if it would tear apart Heaven and Earth.
There was the cries of humans mixed within this.
The earth began shaking.
With the sword pit at the center, the entire capital began shaking. It was as if below the ground, there was currently something terrifying occurring.
"What happened?"
"Just what has happened?"
In front of the [Light Palace], there was a confused expression appearing on the faces of everyone.
In just these ten short days, there had been too many things that had occurred. The entire City of Light had already completely turned into an isolated city, people could only enter but not leave. Everyone was always in a highly tense state, that they were about to snap.
There were tragic howls and cries, the curses of the demonic flames constantly sounding out within the Earth Fire sword pit.
"Careful!"
Wang Lijin loudly shouted.
The soldier camp once again gathered in formation.
There was berserk energy constantly charging out from within the sword pit, filled with a destructive power.
"Ah...” there was a clear scream.
A figure covered in blood shot out from the sword pit.
But before he was even one meter away from the pit, there was another blood light that chased after him from behind. In an instant, the figure was hacked into pieces, turning into a bloody mist that fell downwards.
"Hao..."
The tragic howls of the demonic things, a black light did it's utmost to shoot out from the sword pit. But the result was that before it was even three or four meters away, a blood red lightning shot past, wrapping around it and turning him into ashes immediately!
Terrifying screams and cries constantly sounded out from within the Earth Fire sword pit. There were lonely and tragic screams, as well as the roars that a wild beast would emit as it faced death. This was unending, as if there was a destructive and emotionless butchering occurring in the sword pit below.
This terrifying scene caused everyone on the ground to retreat. They did not dare near the sword pit.
Such tragic noises continuously sounded out for two hours.
Ultimately, the massive black shadow that was like a hill desperately shot out from the sword pit. This was namely the most cautious and cunning soul that had waited until the last moment before entering into the Earth Fire sword pit.
But it was a pity that before it could jump twenty meters, a blood red light instantly chased after him from within the Earth Fire sword pit. Like catching a fish, it dragged the humongous figure mercilessly towards the Earth Fire sword pit…
It madly and viciously struggled. Splitting into small and large globes of black light, it wanted to escape through the holes of this giant red net.
But it was as if the blood net was intelligent. It rapidly shrunk, in the blink of an eye, it was even smaller than the body parts that the demonic soul could split apart into.
As this happened, two brilliant rays of light shot out from within the sword pit. One was a silver fist flame and another was a golden sword glimmer. It instantly landed on the figure of the demonic soul, utterly crushing it apart in an instant.
The humongous net exerted strength. Ultimately, it was able to drag this massive demonic soul into the sword pit, to be completely killed!
The sword pit finally quietened down.
In a flash.
Two figures charged out, coming to the boundary of the sword pit.
One right, One left.
The person on the Left was Lin Zheng.
The person on the right was Yu Feiyan.
They were the last two survivors----
