To use the strength of Three-Star Half-Emperor against Pill Lightning is, in everyone's eyes, utterly foolish!
Old Monster Hu and Yan Bing also looked at Qin Zhong with cold smiles, their eyes full of disdain. Gu Li and Chi Lin, however, felt a warmth in their hearts. Although Qin Zhong and Xiao Yan were not very close, he was willing to risk his life for Xiao Yan just because Xiao Yan saved him once. There were probably few people present who could do that!
For this reason alone, Qin Zhong is a respectable person!
"Haha, Brother Yan Xiao, rest assured, with me here today, you can focus on refining the medicine. I will even risk my life to block this Pill Lightning lightning for you!"
"Whoa!!!"
Xiao Yan also understood the resolute intent in those words. Qin Zhong was not being pretentious. He was grateful to Xiao Yan for saving his life, and now that Xiao Yan was in trouble, he was doing everything he could to help him. Even Xiao Yan had to admire him for this!
On the stands, Elder Xuan nodded with deep feeling, slowly stood up, ready to lend a helping hand at any moment. This kind of person was quite to his liking, and he would definitely help him both emotionally and rationally, especially since their goals were the same.
The young man beside him couldn't help but smile and nod. This was not only because of Qin Zhong's loyalty and courage, but also because of Xiao Yan. It was because Xiao Yan saved him that he received such sincere treatment in return!
"Sizzle..."
Faced with Qin Zhong's cold shout, the Pill Lightning seemed to sense it, and its falling speed became even more terrifying. This made Qin Zhong's expression even more solemn. Although he spoke confidently, this Pill Lightning was indeed terrifying!
But today, no matter what, he was determined to use his own body to shield Xiao Yan from the elements!
"Drink it!"
With a furious roar, Qin Zhong's Dou Qi surged wildly out of his body. Then, his figure moved suddenly, and he shot out like a cannonball, fiercely colliding with the oncoming Pill Lightning!
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, with Qin Zhong's strength, the difference in power was too obvious when facing the Pill Lightning. In the end, although the Pill Lightning dissipated, Qin Zhong was seriously injured. He was slammed down from the void like a meteor, crashing into the Void Plaza and smashing through it. Then, he crashed into the Ancient Wilderness City below, creating a huge crater tens of feet deep!
"Sizzle..."
Having completely defeated Qin Zhong with a single strike, the Pill Lightning's momentum grew even stronger. As soon as the first strike landed, an even more terrifying Pill Lightning struck down, fiercely blasting towards Xiao Yan below. Judging from its momentum, it seemed intent on killing Xiao Yan in one fell swoop!
Meanwhile, in the deep pit below, Qin Zhong was already severely injured. If he were to make another move, he might truly not survive.
But at this moment, Qin Zhong watched the Pill Lightning fall again, and his heart was filled with anxiety. He forced his injured body to shudder, and his figure flew out again, rushing towards the Pill Lightning in the void once more!
"Hah! I'll take this blow for you!"
Just as Qin Zhong was about to catch up and Xiao Yan was about to make a move, an old voice came from the sky. Then, Elder Xuan stood in the air, looking solemnly at the falling Pill Lightning. Dou Qi rapidly gathered in his withered palm, and then he suddenly swung out, slamming a palm at the pill Pill Lightning!
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, the Pill Lightning dissipated, and Elder Xuan's body trembled slightly as he released the immense force from his body. His withered hands trembled uncontrollably.
That Pill Lightning was truly terrifying. Even with his strength, he suffered a great loss. It's hard to imagine what price Qin Zhong paid to barely block that attack.
At this moment, Qin Zhong also flew forward, barely supporting his body as he cupped his hands to Elder Xuan. Elder Xuan gently waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formalities, and at the same time, he placed a pill into Qin Zhong's hand for him to take.
Immediately, Elder Xuan turned his gaze to the young man on the platform. Their eyes met, and they immediately understood each other's meaning.
As long as Elder Xuan Pill Lightning another lightning bolt for Xiao Yan Qin Zhong on behalf of Qin Zhong, the young man on the platform immediately takes action to rescue Xiao Yan from the stone platform. As for the Emperor Grade Pill that has been successfully refined and is just waiting to be produced, he destroys it.
"Rumble..."
Above the sky, thunderclouds churned, as if brewing a terrifying bombardment. Beneath the thunderclouds, Qin Zhong and Elder Xuan, who had just recovered somewhat, stared solemnly at the terrifying thunderclouds above their heads. Elder Xuan subtly raised his Dou Qi, for even with his strength, he was somewhat wary of these thunderclouds.
Although he wasn't confident he could completely block the thunderclouds, Elder Xuan was confident he could stop just one strike. Even though he would likely have to endure the torment of the Pill Lightning lightning, it was better than taking the full force of the attack.
"Rumble..."
The dark thunderclouds rolled again. Elder Xuan looked at Qin Zhong beside him and frowned slightly. Although Qin Zhong was loyal and righteous, he was also somewhat stubborn. Even though he could see that Elder Xuan was there, he still insisted on staying. If the Pill Lightning fell later, Elder Xuan would not have time to worry about his safety.
"Hehe, why don't you go down first, brother? I can manage here by myself. Your injuries are quite serious, and staying here might distract me!"
Hearing Elder Xuan's words, Qin Zhong also wanted to stay, but after all, it was all for Xiao Yan's good. If Elder Xuan was distracted by him at a crucial moment, Xiao Yan would be in trouble. Therefore, he nodded with a wry smile, and after flying down more than a hundred feet, he still did not want to back away.
Elder Xuan was helpless in the face of this. Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the thunderclouds in the sky, followed by a thunderous roar. A terrifying Pill Lightning crashed down, like a colossal sword striking Elder Xuan fiercely!
Elder Xuan dared not underestimate this in the slightest. His Dou Qi surged within him, and he quickly raised his hands to his chest, his fingertips changing rapidly. At the same time, a giant Holding Up the Heavens, hundreds of feet wide, rapidly condensed in the void in front of him, and then, the instant the Pill Lightning fell, it clashed fiercely with it!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the entire Void Plaza trembled, and terrifying gales instantly swept across it, causing terrifying cracks to appear that pierced through the entire Void Plaza!
"Whoosh!"
With a whooshing sound, the young man appeared beside Xiao Yan, his arm outstretched, ready to forcibly take Xiao Yan away.
"Boom!"
The moment his palm touched Xiao Yan's body, a dazzling golden light flashed across Xiao Yan's body. The young man's expression changed drastically, and he retreated instantly, covering his outstretched palm with one hand. He looked at Xiao Yan with lingering fear, and the muscles at the corner of his mouth twitched.
"This guy... why does something hit me every time I touch you! I was just trying to help you out! Luckily I reacted in time this time, otherwise I don't know what you would have done to me!"
"Ahem, Xiao Jin, behave yourself!"
He mentally shouted, realizing that the golden light he had just seen was none other than Xiao Jin.
"Hehe, sorry, I have a lot of little ones inside me. I promise it won't happen again next time!"
Without making a move, Xiao Yan merely smiled somewhat laboredly and didn't say anything more. Luo Jin also pursed his lips; he was genuinely a bit helpless about this.
"Well, leave the rest to me. Let Elder Xuan and Qin Zhong step aside. I'll handle this Pill Lightning!"
