A Call from Another World
Dong Fuzhu's brow twitched, and without even thinking, she called out to the newcomer, "Senior Sister!"
The ice sculpture of the monster in the air shattered with a crack, and the monster itself shattered along with it.
Seeing this scene, Dong Fuzhu's heart couldn't help but pound wildly.
She had fought these monsters before and knew how powerful they were. Even the small ones were difficult to kill; their wrinkled flesh was harder to break than the strongest defensive formations.
But Sang Ying didn't even touch her sword, yet she killed the little monster. Dong Fuzhu suddenly dared not even think about just how powerful the opponent had become.
After Dong Fuzhu called out, a figure quickly flew over their heads.
Sang Ying didn't linger; she could feel a familiar presence still struggling nearby.
She simply nodded to her junior sister and instructed, "Take everyone and hide first. The sun and the monsters here are very dangerous."
Who would have thought that the once peaceful and tranquil Lower Realm would now be fraught with danger?
Dong Fuzhu certainly wouldn't refuse Sang Ying's kindness. She smiled and nodded vigorously at the person who was slowly flying away, even though she couldn't see them at all.
Then Dong Fuzhu led the remaining people to find a safe place to hide temporarily—since their senior sister had arrived, they probably didn't need to rush to escape.
On the other side of the communication talisman, Helian Mo, sitting at the table, only glanced at Sang Ying's figure before freezing in place.
How long had it been since he last saw this person? So long that he had almost forgotten.
Sang Zheng also saw his daughter. Although he couldn't speak to her, his daughter's current aura was conveyed to him through the image on the communication talisman.
"Now that Sang Ying has appeared, these people should be able to be saved." Fang Chi and Hai Tingzhou, like Dong Fuzhu, had great trust in Sang Ying.
The others also recognized Sang Ying and knew how many great things this young female cultivator had accomplished that even they themselves were "afraid of," so they wouldn't try to smear Fang Chi at this time.
They even hoped that Sang Ying would be stronger than before, so that their chances of survival would be higher.
On the other side.
Sang Ying hadn't expected the Lower Realm to be so vast after the fusion. She walked for a long time in the direction Gu Huaiwei had indicated, but before she could find the loophole in the Lower Realm, she encountered Dong Fuzhu first.
Although she didn't know the origin of the monster that wanted to attack her junior sister, Sang Ying still took action immediately and eliminated it.
Killing that monster wasn't as easy for her as Dong Fuzhu had imagined, but she was now Demigod, and although she couldn't feel the difference when fighting Gu Huaiwei, Sang Ying immediately realized that her power was vastly different from before when facing that monster.
Having figured this out, Sang Ying became even more fearless as she rushed towards Jiang Zhuoxue.
She moved quickly, and by the time she arrived, Jiang Zhuoxue and the other side were locked in a fierce battle. The Spiritual Qi of the Lower Realm had been largely swallowed up by the sandstorm, and the scorching sun overhead had already made the cultivators feel exhausted.
These monsters that crawled out of the dark hole were not only strong and fast, but their skin and flesh were also incredibly tough, impossible to pierce.
On the contrary, the monsters' claws were inexplicably sharp, instantly tearing through the expensive robes worn by Lan Fusheng and the others.
Even the outer garment that Jiang Zhuoxue created with Demonic Power seemed fragile in front of these monsters.
Fortunately, these monsters are not without weaknesses; attacking them with pure Spiritual Power can also injure them. However, as mentioned earlier, the group of them doesn't have much Spiritual Power left.
Seeing another monster rushing towards the three of them, Jiang Zhuoxue immediately raised her hand, and the Demonic Qi in front of them wove into a shield, firmly protecting them.
The monster that crashed into her was so large that even though it seemed to just casually bump into her, a crack appeared on Jiang Zhuoxue's defensive shield.
The other two monsters weren't idle either. While their companion was holding Jiang Zhuoxue back, they deliberately circled around to attack the three of them from behind.
Fortunately, Lan Fusheng and Bai Kejin weren't stupid; they realized the monsters' movements and quickly began to defend themselves. However, they had already used up most of their Spiritual Qi when they each dealt with one monster earlier, so it was a real waste to consume it all on these two monsters.
Whether it's a pity or not is no longer something Lan Fusheng and her partner need to consider.
Because these guys can absorb Spiritual Qi!
If a cultivator's Spiritual Power is not strong enough to subdue them, then they will turn around and devour the cultivator's attacks, turning them into their own nourishment.
Just like now, the two monsters swallowed the delicious food "handed over" by Lan Fusheng and Bai Kejin in one gulp, and their entire bodies instantly swelled up a size!
Their scarlet tongues licked their teeth, and their attack became even more ferocious than before!
Both of them felt a jolt in their brows, and Lan Fusheng's face was much paler than before. Jiang Zhuoxue was about to turn around to help, but the two monsters were even faster than before, managing to dodge his attack and pouncing directly on their respective prey.
At the critical moment, Lan Fusheng was already forming hand seals, preparing to use a forbidden technique for a last-ditch effort, when he heard a familiar voice shout at them, "Get down!"
Lan Fusheng and Bai Kejin were still confused, but they subconsciously did as the voice told them to do.
Immediately afterward, a sword light flashed above the three of them. When they came to their senses, they only saw the claws of the three monsters thudding to the ground. It turned out that while they were distracted helping Bai Kejin and the others, the monster in front of them had quietly broken through the barrier they had constructed.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. After Bai Kejin pulled his companion to his feet, the three monsters had already pounced on the one who was most feared by them.
Three monsters attacking one person should have been a terrifying scene.
But before Lan Fusheng and the others could even feel worried, they saw Sang Ying's sword flash by several times. When they tried to look again, they heard the monsters let out a baby-like wail and then instantly collapsed to the ground, turning into three piles of yellow sand.
Amidst the yellow sand, Sang Ying slowly sheathed her sword.
She seemed to have no intention of catching up with the three of them, and immediately said upon meeting them, "Take me to the gap in the Lower Realm."
Jiang Zhuoxue was taken aback, and immediately realized that the "gap" she was referring to was the black hole.
Of the three, only Lan Fusheng managed to inform Dong Fuzhu, and then he led Sang Ying straight to that dark hole.
The black hole that was previously in the plains has now expanded to more than twice its original size. It is because the black hole has grown larger that the monsters have been able to escape.
Sang Ying stared into the darkness, but inexplicably heard something else in the howling wind—a faint voice calling to her.
The situation in the Lower Realm is far too dire. Now that Sang Ying has made her choice, she will not waste any more time on pointless hesitation.
Almost realizing that something in the dark abyss was calling to her, Sang Ying turned and left the three of them with the words "Wait for me to come back," before jumping into the abyss and being quickly swallowed up by the boundless darkness...
