At this moment, Yue Zhengyu and the others trapped within the magical skill released by the Ghost Emperor were all gasping for air harshly...
Guo Xiaoxu coughed violently, "Cough cough... How much longer will this magical skill last?"
Liang Xiaoyu also wiped his forehead, "Mmm, constantly dodging these puppets' attacks is really depleting our Soul Power, we're about to run out!"
Yue Zhengyu gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Dammit, I really want to break through forcefully."
But remembering what the Ghost Emperor had said, he still didn't dare to act rashly!
Even Xu Xiaoyan, hiding in the vacuum zone, couldn't maintain her position and reappeared...
The moment she appeared, she became a target...
The surrounding puppets uttered incomprehensible words, controlling the dive from below...
Xu Xiaoyan instantly became flustered, "What... What??"
Yue Zhengyu, who noticed in time, exclaimed, "Xiao Yan, dodge quickly!!"
But it was already too late. With no other choice, he charged forward with all his might, embraced the former in his arms, and used his own body to protect her behind himself...
In his heart, he was also prepared to face death...
Xu Xiaoyan, realizing something, suddenly had her pupils contract sharply, "No!!"
Hadn't Yue Zhengyu also nearly died protecting her before??
However, just as the puppets, enshrouded in green flames, were about to collide with Yue Zhengyu's body, they instantly turned into blood-red particles and dissipated...
What came was not pain but waves of coldness...
Yue Zhengyu, confused, quickly turned around to look, only to see that all the puppets were disappearing at a visible rate...
He couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "What... What's this??"
He had been fully prepared to sacrifice himself...
Was this an unexpected blessing?
However, he felt a stinging pain on his cheek...
The person who had struck him was Xu Xiaoyan, with tears in her eyes, as she rebuked him angrily, "Yue Zhengyu, do you know how dangerous that was just now? Why do you always have to use your own life to protect me?"
After speaking, she hugged him tightly again...
If it weren't for the sudden dissipation of the Ghost Emperor's magical skill, Yue Zhengyu would likely be dead!!
Though he had been slapped, Yue Zhengyu felt a warmth in his heart and reassured her, "Xiao... Xiao Yan, protecting you is my duty after all, and besides, I'm fine, aren't I!"
Xu Xiaoyan sobbed a little and muttered quietly, "Don't do this again next time!"
Yue Zhengyu nodded slightly, "Mmm, I promise!"
Though he said that, the next time Xu Xiaoyan faced danger, he would still risk his life to protect her!
At that moment, Guo Xiaoxu, who had appeared beside them, spoke out of the blue, "It must be that the Divine Power maintaining this magical skill has been completely exhausted!"
Liang Xiaoyu also came over, expressing with a sigh, "Mmm, but Zhengyu really was lucky to have escaped with his life this time!"
Yuanen Yehui calmly reminded them, "Even if we are lucky to have escaped with our lives, now is not the time for public displays of affection!"
Realizing the others' presence, Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan quickly let go of each other, their faces somewhat flushed...
Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan also rushed over, urgently asking, "Hall Masters, Xiao Yan, Zhengyu, and Ye Hui, are you all okay?"
Yuanen Yehui shook her head, clarifying, "We are all right!"
Only then did Xie Xie let out a sigh of relief, and then he said proudly, "That's good, that Ghost Emperor's talk was fierce, saying it was an instant death upon contact, but it seems his magical skill wasn't all that!"
At least, none of their group had perished!
Ye Xinglan frowned and emphasized, "Xie Xie, that's not how you should put it. Keep in mind, everyone here is at the Super Douluo Level, yet we were all trapped by a magical skill for so long. That alone says a lot!"
Xie Xie gave an embarrassed smile, "Hehe, I was just saying, it's mainly good that everyone is okay!"
Yue Zhengyu, who had come to his senses, said gravely, "Right, what about Wulin and Gu Yue? Them??"
Since some of us were trapped here, that meant less strength to combat the Ghost Emperor!!
The others also cast inquiring glances at Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan…
The former spoke with considerable confidence, "Don't worry, Wulin and Gu Yue have absorbed the power of the super divine weapon called the Heart of the Dragon God. Together, they are already capable of suppressing the Ghost Emperor!"
Ye Xinglan affirmed, "Hmm, but… whether they can slay him is still unknown!"
However, she suddenly looked up to see Di Tian and Bi Ji, in their true forms, coiled above, looking down from the sky…
Curious, Xie Xie also followed her gaze upwards...
He exclaimed in shock, "I say, Di Tian, and Bi Ji, could it be that you've just been onlookers in the sky since the battle began?"
Apart from the initial Myriad Dragon Flames, it seemed that Di Tian and Bi Ji had made no contribution to this battle!
Yue Zhengyu and the others naturally noticed the two ferocious beasts as well...
They said in a very dissatisfied tone, "So Di Tian and Bi Ji are still here? I thought they had already fled!"
"That is a bit too much, staying silent above all this time. Are you saying that you are afraid of the Ghost Emperor?"
"Indeed, even if their master is Gu Yuena, their nature remains that of ferocious beasts, still harboring hostility towards humans!"
In response to these accusations, Di Tian transformed back into human form, but did not retort; he only watched silently with his golden eyes...
Bi Ji, visibly upset, said, "Di Tian, are we not going to explain ourselves?"
They had been coiled in the sky to monitor the Ghost Emperor's movements at all times!
Moreover, there was no way for them to rescue the humans caught inside the range of the magical skill!
Di Tian said coldly, "There is no need. Besides, before this I did indeed wish for these humans to die at the hands of the Ghost Emperor!"
That would certainly be beneficial to future plans!
However, such words definitely couldn't be let known to these humans and our master!
Bi Ji fell silent, "…"
But soon, with some concern, she said, "Di Tian, do you believe that Tang Wulin and the master, when joined, can contend with the Ghost Emperor?"
She had wanted to go to Gu Yuena's aid, but Di Tian had stopped her!
No sooner had she voiced this question than Di Tian glanced at her, "Bi Ji, haven't you realized yet?"
Bi Ji's confusion deepened, "Di Tian, what do you mean by that?"
Di Tian didn't explain but offered a fair assessment…
"Never mind, just watch carefully. The Ghost Emperor is certainly no match for Tang Wulin and the master together!"
Having been with Gu Yuena, whom he acknowledged as his master, for a long time, he had a feeling!
It was that she had not used her full strength!!
Before this battle, Gu Yuena's strength was not less than his own!
Now that she had absorbed the power of a super divine weapon and only showed this level of ability, it was frankly quite disappointing!
Bi Ji pursed her lips and said no more, "Is… is that so?"
Although she had no clue about this conclusion, she believed that Di Tian would not joke with their master's life!
