Chapter 452: Withdrawing Fuel from a Boiling Cauldron
People never expected that Gongsun Hong would be heavily injured by the ancient desolate beast’s claw attack. They thought that Gongsun Hong would receive plenty of rewards after easily killing the ancient desolate beast.
Panther Lady, who was jealous of Gongsun Hong for striking first, had now turned pale. She did not know what to do.
She was glad that she had not attacked, because her outcome would probably be worse than Gongsun Hong’s.
Realizing this, many of them subconsciously glanced over at Yi Yun. At this moment, Yi Yun was dawdling right at the back of the group. He was a hundred feet behind Lin Yu and company, who were already lining at the back. He did not look like he was in the Great Empress mystic realm to compete for opportunities, but rather here to mess around.
However, even so, Yi Yun began to appear mysterious in the eyes of many of them. They originally believed that Yi Yun managed to kill the ancient desolate beast out of luck, but now, with Gongsun Hong attempting the same thing with disastrous effects, people were shocked. They did not know what sort of method Yi Yun had used to kill the ancient desolate beast.
“Senior brother Hong!”
Seeing that Gongsun Hong was about to fall off the bridge and into the vast storm, a youth dressed in a flaming robe took out a rope-like magical item from his interspatial ring. He wanted to throw the magical item at Gongsun Hong to save him.
However, at this moment, the ancient desolate beast roared and carried on charging straight at Gongsun Hong!
It extended its sharp claws and, with purple lightning bolts surrounding it, grabbed at Gongsun Hong’s head!
Its move made the flaming robe youth’s face turn white. He did not dare make a rescue. He was not sure if he too would end up incurring the wrath of the ancient desolate beast by trying to save Gongsun Hong. If he was attacked as well, then he would only end up dying with Gongsun Hong.
Gongsun Hong was just a fellow disciple. How could Gongsun Hong’s life be more important than his?
“Ka-cha!”
The lightning flashed and the serpent-like, purple bolts seemed to stick close to Gongsun Hong’s face. The ancient desolate beast was overwhelming. Its immense pressure caused people to retreat.
Amongst the people retreating was Yi Yun. Although he was already at a sufficient distance, his retreating speed was much faster than anyone else.
This made many of them speechless. What the heck was this kid doing here?
Actually, when Yi Yun retreated, his hand was already pressing on his interspatial ring. His mental energies had locked onto the Tai Cang Bow.
He could attack at any time, but… didn’t the fun just begin? How could Yi Yun save a person like Gongsun Hong who was thinking of taking his life?
It was already not bad that he did not kick Gongsun Hong while he was down.
Of course, this was also because of the rules of the Great Empress mystic realm, which prevented Yi Yun from attacking Gongsun Hong. If that wasn’t the case, and if Yi Yun wanted to be evil, he did not even know his bottom line.
Having suffered a heavy blow, Gongsun Hong’s eyes flashed fiercely. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. As his blood essence burned, a strange fog appeared on Gongsun Hong’s face. It looked a bit sinister!
“Ha!”
Gongsun Hong shouted as his bones began to emit crackling sounds. His chest, which was heavily injured, was slowly beginning to heal due to a strange energy,
Accompanying that was the squirming of Gongsun Hong’s muscles. The veins on his forehead also began to bulge out one by one!
“Oh? He still has something up his sleeve?”
