A flash of yellow light passed over the ground before Nie Caizhu, and a figure burst out from beneath the earth. A thick yellow staff, as wide as a bowl, turned into a streak of yellow light and swept forward.
With a thunderous boom.
Yellow light and black qi intertwined as a hurricane surged into the sky, while rolling shockwaves swept in every direction.
At the center of the explosion, two figures flashed and shot backward in opposite directions. After swaying several times, they each staggered to a halt more than a dozen zhang away.
One of them was Liu Qing. The nails on the five fingers of her right hand had shattered, and blood dripped down them.
Yet she paid no heed to the injury on her hand, staring fixedly at the figure opposite her. It was Shen Luo.
Shen Luo held the Mysterious Yellow Unity Staff, his face slightly pale. He appeared to be in far better condition than Liu Qing.
Seeing this, Little Bear Monster was overjoyed. Green light flashed around his legs, forming two lotus phantoms, and with a flicker, he appeared behind Nie Caizhu and raised a hand to support her.
Nie Caizhu thanked Little Bear Monster, her bright eyes fixed on Shen Luo as a trace of joy appeared at the corners of her lips.
At that moment, a figure shot out from the fiery smoke behind them. It was Wei Qing.
After seeing the situation before him, a flash of baleful energy crossed his face. Still, he flew down beside Liu Qing, his eyes fixed intently on Nie Caizhu.
"How did you get out so quickly?" Liu Qing ignored everyone else and merely looked at Shen Luo as she asked in a low voice.
"Nothing special. Just an Earth-Escape Talisman," Shen Luo replied
