Chapter 873: A lucky escape from despair: Xiao Bei encounters a turning point
Xiao Bei closed his eyes tightly, his body like a taut bow, ready to face death.
The air around seemed to be frozen, so heavy that it was suffocating, and only a suffocating silence remained.
"No--!" Bei Li let out a heart-wrenching scream behind him. The voice was filled with endless fear and despair, like a sharp knife piercing the dead silence.
At this critical moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, like a sun rising in the darkness.
The light quickly spread, forming a translucent spherical shield that tightly wrapped Xiao Bei and Bei Li.
"boom--!"
The terrifying energy from the demon's self-explosion slammed heavily into the shield, making a deafening noise.
The shield was shaking violently, its light flickering, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Although the shield blocked most of the impact, the remaining force still hit Xiao Bei and Bei Li hard like a strong wind and huge waves.
The two men groaned, blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.
My internal organs seemed to have shifted, and severe pain swept through my body like a tide.
At this moment, a cold figure appeared out of nowhere outside the shield.
Her white clothes were whiter than snow, her long hair was like a waterfall, and her whole body radiated a faint glow, just like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descending to the mortal world.
It’s Fairy Lingyu!
She looked at Xiao Bei inside the shield expressionlessly. There was no ripple in her cold eyes, as if the scene before her had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Bei endured the severe pain and looked at the Lingyu Fairy who suddenly appeared, his heart full of doubts.
He didn't understand why the guardian of the forbidden area, who had always remained neutral, would come to his aid at this time?
Fairy Lingyu just looked at Xiao Bei coldly without saying a word, her eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"You..." Xiao Bei was about to speak.
Xiao Bei felt the blood surging in his body, and his bones seemed to be breaking bit by bit. He and Bei Li fell to the ground powerlessly like two leaves in the wind.
Beili's face was as pale as paper, his once bright eyes had lost their luster, and his breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
"Beili!" Xiao Bei shouted hoarsely. He wanted to help her up, but found that he was too weak to move.
He struggled to stretch out his hand and tremblingly stroked Beili's cold cheek. A deep feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
He was the eternal ruler of the fairy world, but now he couldn't even protect the one he loved, which made him feel heartbroken.
Outside the forbidden area, Elder Xuanfeng paced anxiously.
He felt the violent fluctuations coming from the forbidden area and was filled with worry.
He knew that Xiao Bei and Bei Li were in danger and wanted to rush in immediately, but the barrier of the forbidden area was extremely powerful and difficult to shake with his cultivation level.
"Damn it!" Elder Xuanfeng roared, and the immortal power in his body surged wildly, hitting the barrier again and again, but he was still unable to break through.
Just when Xiao Bei was in despair, Fairy Lingyu finally took action.
She slowly raised her slender hand, and in her palm, a spiritual bead emitting soft light floated out.
The spirit pearl was crystal clear, like a miniature sun, emitting a powerful healing power that was refreshing and soothing.
The dark aura around them retreated as if they had encountered their natural enemy.
Fairy Lingyu's eyes were calm as she slowly brought the spirit pearl closer to Beili.
The light emitted by the spirit pearl shone on Beili, just like spring rain moistening the dry earth. Beili's pale face gradually regained a hint of redness, and his weak breath gradually became steady.
When Xiao Bei saw this scene, he stared at Fairy Lingyu closely, his heart full of questions.
He knew that Fairy Lingyu had always maintained neutrality and did not get involved in any disputes in the fairy world, but now she stepped forward to rescue Beili. What secret was hidden in this?
As the spirit pearl approached, the dark aura around it was completely dispelled, and the originally dim cave became bright.
Only then did Xiao Bei discover that there were some ancient and mysterious runes carved on the stone walls of the cave. These runes emitted a faint light, which complemented the light of the spirit pearl.
Fairy Lingyu took back the spiritual pearl, her face still expressionless. She just glanced at Xiao Bei indifferently and said softly: "You owe me a favor."
At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the cave, and a creepy evil breath emerged from the darkness.
Fairy Lingyu suddenly turned her head and looked into the depths of the cave. A trace of solemnity flashed across her originally calm eyes.
Just as Fairy Lingyu finished her words, the evil aura surging from the depths of the cave instantly condensed into countless pairs of scarlet eyes, like a group of wild beasts lurking in the dark night, staring greedily at Xiao Bei and others.
Immediately afterwards, a creepy roar broke the silence in the cave, making people's eardrums hurt, as if countless evil spirits were roaring in low voices.
The ground began to shake and gravel fell.
In the darkness, twisted shadows gradually emerged. They were evil creatures awakened by the devil's self-explosion.
They have various shapes, some look like giant bats with sharp claws, some look like human skeletons, emitting a disgusting stench, and some look like a wriggling ball of flesh covered with dense eyes.
These creatures are surrounded by thick black fog, emitting a terrifying evil aura.
"Be careful!" Xiao Bei shouted softly, and stood up with his weak body, protecting Bei Li behind him.
He clenched his fists, and the immortal power in his body circulated wildly. Golden light condensed around him, forming a solid barrier to block the erosion of evil aura.
Those evil creatures let out shrill screams and pounced on Xiao Bei frantically.
The bat-like creatures brandished their sharp claws, while the skull-like creatures opened their empty mouths and spewed out black poisonous mist.
The wriggling balls of flesh were even more disgusting. They twisted their bodies and tried to use their eyes to release evil power that could confuse people.
Xiao Bei was a veteran and experienced man. Faced with this sudden attack, he did not panic.
His body was as fast as lightning, shuttling between the evil creatures. As he swung his fists and feet, his golden immortal power was like a sharp blade, tearing those creatures into pieces.
However, these evil creatures were numerous and their attack methods were strange. Even though Xiao Bei was very strong, he gradually felt a little tired.
Bei Li followed Xiao Bei closely. She knew that she was not in a good condition to fight these evil creatures head-on, but she would never let Xiao Bei bear it alone.
She silently circulated the immortal power in her body, and soft white light was released from her hands and fell on Xiao Bei, providing him with continuous treatment and support.
"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li reminded Xiao Bei while releasing his magical power.
Her eyes were concerned and her voice was filled with worry.
Xiao Bei turned around and smiled at Bei Li, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
The two men cooperated with each other tacitly, one attacking and the other defending, keeping those evil creatures firmly in front of them.
However, as the battle progressed, the surrounding environment became increasingly damaged.
The stone walls of the cave were covered with cracks, debris kept rolling down, and the entire space was shaking violently.
Fairy Lingyu stood aside, watching the battle coldly.
Her cold eyes flashed with complex light.
When she saw that Xiao Bei and Bei Li still supported and trusted each other at the critical moment of life and death, her heart seemed to be gently touched by something.
Her expression changed slightly, and a barely perceptible ripple appeared on her face, which was originally as calm as water.
She murmured to herself, "Is the word love really so great?"
Suddenly, Xiao Bei felt a strong pressure coming from all directions.
He looked up and saw that the evil creatures had merged together to form a huge monster.
The monster was like a huge mountain of flesh, covered with countless eyes, each of which emitted a terrifying red light.
"Roar!" The monster let out a deafening roar, and the entire cave was shaking.
Immediately afterwards, countless black beams of light shot out from the monster's eyes, like a dense rain of arrows, shooting towards Xiao Bei and Bei Li.
Xiao Bei's face changed, he knew that he was in a desperate situation.
He took a deep breath, increased the immortal power in his body to the extreme, and prepared to meet this final challenge.
But at this moment, he felt something stirring within him, an unprecedented power slowly awakening...
He frowned and was about to investigate when he suddenly felt a heat in his dantian.
At this critical moment, Xiao Bei felt a surge of hot energy surging from his dantian, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, instantly sweeping through his whole body!
This energy was extremely overbearing and rushed forward, opening up a brand new meridian in his body. The originally stagnant immortal power also surged like a flood that broke through the dam.
A mysterious feeling surged into my heart, and countless ancient runes flashed in my mind, converging into an obscure spell.
A sudden enlightenment came to him, and he realized in an instant that this was actually a completely new realm of immortality!
"So that's how it is! It means to risk your life in order to survive!" Xiao Bei roared to the sky, his voice exploding like thunder, shaking the entire cave.
His eyes burst out with golden light, like two bright lamps, illuminating the darkness.
He suddenly raised his hand, and the originally violent immortal power instantly became extremely docile, like an obedient child, gathering into a golden ball of light at his fingertips.
The ball of light looks gentle, but it contains the power to destroy the world.
Xiao Bei let out a low shout and threw the ball of light at the huge monster.
The ball of light cut through the void, and wherever it passed, traces of distortion appeared in the space.
With a deafening roar, the golden ball of light collided with the monster, bursting into a dazzling light.
The light was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
The monster let out a shrill scream, and its huge body instantly collapsed, turning into countless fragments and dissipating into the air.
The evil creatures around retreated like a tide, not daring to get close to Xiao Bei at all.
They felt the terrifying power emanating from Xiao Bei, which was an existence they could not match.
Xiao Bei stood proudly, with golden light surrounding him, like a god of war descending to the earth, full of heroic spirit.
At this moment, he seemed to be reborn, and his whole body exuded an extraordinary aura.
Fairy Lingyu had been watching coldly, but at this moment she couldn't help but be moved.
A hint of surprise flashed across her cold eyes.
She didn't expect that Xiao Bei could break through the desperate situation and comprehend such powerful power.
"He... is such an unexpected man." Fairy Lingyu murmured to herself, with a barely perceptible admiration in her voice.
After resolving the threat of the evil creatures, Xiao Bei's confidence was restored.
He turned to look at Beili, his eyes as gentle as water: "Beili, let's go!"
Beili nodded heavily and held Xiao Bei's hand tightly.
She knew that no matter what dangers lay ahead, as long as Xiao Bei was there, she would not be afraid of anything.
The two walked side by side, heading deeper into the cave.
Before long, they came to a huge stone door.
The stone gate is made entirely of unknown black rock, engraved with ancient and mysterious runes, exuding a heart-pounding aura.
"What is this?" Beili looked at the runes on the stone gate and felt dizzy.
Xiao Bei frowned as he carefully observed the runes on the stone gate. These runes were full of an ancient aura that he had never seen before.
Just as he was about to reach out and touch the stone door, it suddenly trembled violently.
An extremely powerful suction force surged out from the stone gate, like a huge whirlpool, trying to swallow Xiao Bei.
"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li exclaimed and wanted to grab Xiao Bei's hand, but found that he could not get close to the stone gate at all.
Xiao Bei's face changed drastically. He felt his body flying towards the stone gate uncontrollably. The suction was so strong that he could not resist it.
"This..." Xiao Bei's eyes were filled with shock.
