The aftershocks of the explosion spread outwards like a tsunami. Although the crowds and mechs had escaped the center of the explosion, they were still affected by the powerful shockwave. Like leaves in the wind, they were thrown high into the air by the shockwave and then crashed heavily to the ground.
"Cough cough..." Many people coughed painfully, their bodies severely injured by the shockwave.
The mech's protective shield shattered under the force of the explosion, and the pilot inside was also violently shaken.
The situation wasn't much better for the War God, Wu Changkong, and the Minister of Security. Although they were highly skilled, they still felt immense pressure in the face of an explosion of this magnitude, and all three of them were blasted away.
Fortunately, the three of them were powerful, and with Yu Longyue standing at the front not only using her Dragon Transformation and domain to block most of the impact, the three of them also covered for everyone, saving everyone's lives. It's just that some people were injured, but there was nothing they could do; they had done their best.
Yu Longyue's condition was the most serious; his entire body had suffered severe injuries, and the massive bleeding had stained his clothes red.
His body also suffered unprecedented damage in the explosion, his skin becoming shattered and torn apart by the high temperature and shock wave.
His entire body was covered in gruesome wounds and burns, with not a single patch of skin intact.
Blood gushed from his body, staining his clothes a deep red.
His once handsome face was now covered with scars, his eyes were closed, and blood beads clung to his eyelashes.
He kept spitting out blood, his legs were trembling, and he was completely weak, as if he would collapse at any moment.
Yu Longyue's consciousness began to blur, his breathing became weak, and each breath seemed to require all his strength.
His body trembled in pain, but he still didn't collapse.
As the smoke cleared, the security chief was shouting like a madman:
"Young Sect Master!!!"
The massive Earth Dragon shielded the crowd from most of the blast's impact. After the Martial Soul Avatar was canceled, the security minister, disregarding his own injuries, ran frantically forward and finally caught Yu Longyue as she was about to collapse.
At this moment, Yu Longyue's consciousness was becoming increasingly weak.
"Young Sect Master, are you stupid? You're just a Soul King, why did you rush up to act like a hero!" He closed his eyes in pain, constantly blaming himself for failing in his duty and not being able to protect him.
"Screw it! Whoever chickens out isn't a man. I curse that war god to have children without an anus."
After squeezing out those words with all her might, Yu Longyue said disdainfully:
"I fight Yun Ming every day, and I get Yun Ming every day. This mere Titled Douluo self-destructs, is that all he's capable of..."
Before she could finish speaking, she fainted, and her breathing became weak.
"Damn it!" When the security minister saw that Yu Longyue's head was tilted to the side, he was so anxious that he desperately channeled his own Soul Power to her.
Then, unable to resist turning back to look at the also injured war god, he immediately began to curse:
"You call yourself the God of War of the War God Temple? You son of a bitch, are you even a man? He self-destructed, and you turned and ran the first thing you did. How could you face us? You're the most powerful person here, and instead of protecting him, you made our young sect leader clean up your mess! Damn it!"
"If something really happens to him, you're dead! No matter who protects you, no matter which faction is your backer, you're doomed. Atlas Douluo can't save you!"
If he didn't need to support Yu Longyue, he really wanted to punch this war god.
Seeing that someone was cursing him like that, the God of War didn't dare to refute a word. Looking at the unconscious and seriously injured Yu Longyue, he felt guilty and his legs went weak, and he knelt down without anyone noticing.
He bent over, his head on the ground, his hands clutching his head, screaming in agony.
He admitted that he actually chickened out immediately after seeing the Titled Douluo self-destruct.
When faced with the most dangerous situation, people often follow their instincts and he was no exception, choosing fear.
But for a war god, this is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty.
He failed to do something, yet a little kid helped him make up for his mistake.
I've lost all face.
Even if he ran back, it would be too late.
He was the one who should have been at the front, blocking most of the explosion damage.
"I'm not worthy of being a war god... I deserve to have children born without an anus!"
He raised his hand and slammed it into the ground. If it weren't for Yu Longyue, at least 80% of the people present would be dead.
Wu Changkong's white robes were also covered in dust, and he immediately went to Yu Longyue's side.
"Put him down."
Wu Changkong glanced at the security minister, who did as he was told, carefully laying Yu Longyue flat on the ground.
Then, Wu Changkong used his ice attribute to freeze Yu Longyue completely, which stopped his bleeding.
"Dude, are you kidding me?" The security chief's eyes bulged. "Even if my young sect leader is incredibly strong, he can't withstand you saving people like this! If you kill him, I'll kill you!"
Wu Changkong ignored the security minister's questioning and instead explained, "His injuries are too severe and require immediate hemostasis. My ice attribute can temporarily seal his wounds to prevent excessive blood loss, which is the best solution at present. Besides, he is a student of the Shrek Academy, and I am his teacher; I would never harm him."
The security minister paused for a moment, then asked anxiously, "And then what? This isn't a long-term solution! What if my young master gets frostbite? Do you think he's frozen pork?"
If Yu Longyue woke up, she'd definitely start cursing. Who are you calling a pig?
"The academy's reinforcements are on their way, including a healing-type Soul Master. Just wait a few more minutes." Wu Changkong placed his hand on Yu Longyue, his expression somewhat surprised. "Don't worry, his physical strength is comparable to a 100,000- Soul Beast. He won't die so easily. Freezing him for a few minutes is more than enough."
Wu Changkong's words calmed the security minister down a little, but his hands were still trembling and his eyes were filled with worry.
The surrounding crowd gathered around, their faces filled with worry and gratitude. Without Yu Longyue, they might not be alive today.
Even the Federation troops standing nearby lined up at this moment and saluted the unconscious and seriously injured Yu Longyue in unison.
This was a courtesy given to soldiers, but they never expected it to be used on Yu Longyue. At that moment, all the soldiers acknowledged Yu Longyue.
"It's my fault for failing to protect Eastsea City," the captain of the Soul Douluo team at the front said, bowing his head and sighing. "I never imagined that a mere child from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would protect Eastsea City for us. I will voluntarily apply to the Federation Parliament for a demotion when we return."
Everyone present was praying for Yu Longyue, hoping that this hero could pull through this ordeal.
You must hold on!
The war god remained kneeling on the ground, his head buried deep between his arms, his body trembling. He was ashamed of his actions, feeling he had failed in his duty as a war god.
"I'm sorry to everyone, and even more sorry to Yu Longyue." The God of War's voice was a little hoarse as he slowly stood up and walked to Yu Longyue's side.
"Is there anything I can do?" the God of War asked in a low voice.
Wu Changkong glanced at him and said calmly, "Take care of yourself and don't cause trouble."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the God of War's face, but he did not refute it. He knew that anything he said now would be of no use; only action could make up for his mistake.
A few minutes later, a huge shadow gradually enveloped the scene above them, causing most people to look up.
Thunder Dragon, nearly a hundred meters long, was seen flapping its wings and flying towards Eastsea City.
Upon arriving in Eastsea City, the Thunder Dragon quickly shrank back to human form. It turned out that Yu Qitian had brought most of his Titled Douluo to the scene as reinforcements.
The first to arrive were Yun Ming from Shrek Academy, who brought Yun Ming Ya Li with him. Upon seeing Yu Longyue frozen on the ground, Yun Ming's expression changed as he sensed the injuries Yu Longyue was suffering.
" Wu Changkong, melt the ice! Ya Li, save him!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong immediately lifted the freezing effect on Yu Longyue.
Ya Li quickly stepped forward, extending both hands simultaneously, each imbued with a soft white halo, and placed them on Yu Longyue's forehead and abdomen respectively. A holy aura emanated from her body, continuously healing Yu Longyue's injuries.
Wu Changkong watched intently from the side. Ya Li was Shrek Academy's strongest healing Soul Master. If even she couldn't be saved, then it was truly a death sentence from the King of Hell.
Soon, Yu Longyue's wounds healed rapidly under her treatment.
After five minutes, Ya Li finished the treatment.
"How is she?" Yun Ming and Yu Qitian were extremely anxious watching from the side, especially Yu Longyue's mother, who didn't dare to touch Yu Longyue at all because of Ya Li's treatment.
"Don't worry, Xiao Yue's body is incredibly strong, comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. This explosion only severely injured him, not killed him. Besides, the power of the four Limit Douluo is circulating within his body, keeping him alive, and I also intervened in time to save him."
Ya Li breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "So after this, we'll find a place for him to rest and recuperate for about six months, and he'll be lively and energetic again."
