The multiple rays of light surrounding Xing slowly receded. She breathed slightly, and the hourglass necklace on her chest dimmed, but the majestic aura brought by [ Eternity ] had not completely dissipated.
Her gaze swept across the ravaged battlefield with lightning speed: the groaning, Borisin Wolf Soldiers were no longer a threat, while on the main battlefield, the battle between Saileni and Hoolay continued.
The situation was more intense than expected. Hoolay completely abandoned his original Foxian disguise, his body swelled to several meters, and his whole body was covered with dark wolf fur. Every claw strike was filled with a frenzied suicidal intent!
Saileni remained composed, her pure white priest's robes rustling in the turbulent energy flow. The golden light of [ Eternity ] swirled at her fingertips, first forming a supple light shield for defense, then condensing into sharp light arrows for counterattack.
However, Hoolay's offensive was too fierce. In Jiaoqiu's view, it was a fight of exchanging injuries for injuries and risking one's life for another.
An uninformed observer of the battle would see that Hoolay had a slight advantage; his wounds healed instantly, and the life-restoring ability of [ Abundance ] was truly remarkable.
However, the Church of Eternity was not to be trifled with; Hoolay was completely unable to harm Saileni.
But then again...
Although Saileni's technique was more refined, under Hoolay's relentless and aggressive attacks, her originally elegant steps became slightly disordered, and she struggled to block several times.
The golden light shield rippled under the relentless barrage of blows. Stargazing at the battle, it seemed the priestess was at a disadvantage...
The Hoolay, this ferocious beast, unleashed in the face of desperation, made up for the slight difference in strength between the two sides.
"I'm here to help you!" Xing didn't hesitate at all. He gripped the bat tightly, pushed off with his feet, and rushed towards the battlefield not far away like an arrow.
Just as Xing's figure moved—
boom
A deafening roar, even more piercing than Hoolay, suddenly came from the direction of the heavy gates of the Prison of Deep Seclusion!
Immediately afterwards, a cyan spear beam wreathed in stardust-colored light appeared on the battlefield, like the first ray of dawn.
Dan Heng's agile figure shot in through the hole like lightning. His face was cold and his target was clear. His Cloud-Piercer Spear was aimed directly at Hoolay, the Borisin of the Bu Li Zhan team who was frantically attacking Saileni!
His sudden entry was completely unexpected and incredibly fast.
Hoolay's attention was completely focused on Saileni, and in the midst of his desperate attack, he was a fraction of a second too slow to react to the deadly attack from his side and rear!
At the critical moment, Hoolay, relying on his beast-like instincts, suddenly turned to the side.
Pfft!
The bluish-black spear tip, wreathed in stardust, failed to pierce Hoolay's heart, but instead plunged deep into his thick left shoulder.
The powerful impact caused Hoolay's massive body to stagger forward, and purplish-black wolf blood gushed out from his wounds!
"Ugh!"
Hoolay let out a painful roar, but the rage contained in that roar far outweighed the pain.
With Borisin's powerful physique and regenerative abilities, such a penetrating wound would only cause him pain for a moment at most, and might not even affect his combat power.
His muscles bulged, as he tried to force the spear tip out of his body, while simultaneously lashing out with his claws to tear the attacker to shreds!
However, just as Hoolay mobilized his strength and drew the tip of his spear, a sudden change occurred!
The wound pierced by the Cloud-Piercer Spear was surrounded by a very faint glow, like the most stubborn curse, firmly locking the wound tissue shut!
The surging blood strangely froze upon contact with this light, as if time itself had stood still within that flesh and blood.
The repair of muscle fibers was also completely suppressed. Not only did the wound on the left shoulder fail to heal, but the faint light continued to emit a constant aura, preventing any form of recovery.
This is precisely the [ Eternity ] that Ye Yan incorporated when modifying the Cloud-Piercer Spear. He did not choose to endow the spear with world-destroying power, as that would be too close to [ Destruction ].
Instead, after Dan Heng inflicts damage on the enemy, he forcibly freezes the state of the wound, making it an [ Eternity ] mark that the enemy cannot easily get rid of.
"What?! This power..."
A hint of horror flashed in Hoolay's eyes. The unhealable wound meant that his ability to continue fighting and his recovery advantage had been completely stripped away at this moment!
Every action exacerbates the injury, and the bleeding further weakens the body, posing a more deadly threat than physical pain.
He looked at Dan Heng, who had burst through the door, and then glanced at Xing, who had just rushed up and was holding a baseball bat.
And not far away, Saileni, who had regained her footing and whose [ Eternity ] light had become more concentrated.
He Hoolay slightly; how come there were more and more people joining the fight?!
Before they could deal with the strangely powerful and troublesome priest, an Nameless wielding a spear appeared, along with the gray-haired man who had just unleashed terrifying power.
As for himself, the wound on his shoulder was like a persistent, incurable sore, and his elite wolf soldiers were all wiped out... No, did Modu really bring any powerful wolf cubs with Modu?
In a flash, Hoolay made a decision.
A flash of extreme resentment and violence crossed his eyes, but more so the cunning and decisiveness of a war chief!
If the fight continues, he will surely die! The legacy of the War Chief must not be lost here.
"Roar!" Hoolay let out a deafening roar, enduring the excruciating pain and weakness that was intensifying due to [ Eternity ].
His massive body suddenly unleashed its final, ferocious power, but his target was neither Dan Heng, Xing, nor Saileni!
Hoolay's injured left arm muscles tensed up, while his right claw abandoned its attack.
With lightning speed, he lunged toward his nearest target— the Yaoqing Xianzhou envoy, Jiaoqiu, who was still reeling from Dan Heng attack!
Jiaoqiu only had time to let out a cry of surprise before the huge wolf claws gripped her tightly like a chick, rendering her unable to move!
"Stop right there!"
Hoolay held Jiaoqiu in front of him like a shield, letting out a beast-like roar at Xing, Dan Heng, Saileni, and the others, his scarlet wolf eyes sweeping over them.
"If he dares to take another step forward, I'll crush his bones! I'll turn this Xianzhou envoy into my second meal after I escape!"
His movements were swift, ruthless, and precise, taking full advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was diverted due to his injury and Dan Heng's sudden intrusion, as well as Jiaoqiu's status as a 'valuable hostage'.
Xing and Dan Heng stopped their attack. Saileni frowned slightly; she was thinking about something.
She possessed the protection of [ Eternity ], and before leaving, she drank Lord Yite's milk tea, plus the hourglass necklace that Xing possessed.
It is no exaggeration to say that Saileni could bring back to life all the heroic martyrs in the entire Prison of Deep Seclusion, whether they were mortal or mechanical.
Hmm... never mind, doing this wouldn't be good for Jiaoqiu. Physicians and priests are essentially the same; they are both colleagues who heal wounds. Why make things difficult for him?
Hoolay, holding Jiaoqiu hostage, staggered backward with unusual speed, his eyes fixed on the crowd, especially the gun barrel in Dan Heng's hand that had caused his wounds to become unhealable, filled with apprehension.
" Modu! You still have the energy, keep up!"
He roared and dragged Jiaoqiu away, retreating Modu towards the evacuation route mentioned in the previous plan.
