45: Reinforcements arrived!

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned red.

Shen Xingyu was greatly shaken as he watched the scene unfold before him.

"Brother Xu," he murmured.

Looking at the military man's pierced chest, an inexplicable sadness spread through his heart.

Xu Bucai, with a ferocious expression, shouted at everyone again.

"What are you standing around for! Hurry up and go!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingyu forcefully suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and with red eyes, he said to everyone, "Go!"

This was a high-level Lingwuist; if they didn't leave now, they might not be able to.

They couldn't let Brother Xu sacrifice himself in vain!

"Go!"

Shen Xingyu shouted at everyone again.

Before getting into the car, everyone stared intently at the scene before them, as if to engrave Xu Bucai's figure in their hearts.

As a buzzing sound echoed, a relieved smile appeared on Xu Bucai's face.

Seeing this, the high-level Iron Blood Clan member immediately tried to give chase, but Xu Bucai gripped his arm tightly, preventing him from breaking free for a moment.

The high-level Iron Blood Clan member's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he struck Xu Bucai's head with a palm.

Xu Bucai's pupils contracted violently; this palm strike completely destroyed all his Meridians.

Subsequently, this slightly shy soldier lost his breath.

But his hands remained like two steel clamps, gripping the high-level Iron Blood Clan member's arm tightly.

The high-level Iron Blood Clan member couldn't help but show a hint of admiration as he looked at the Human Race member before him.

But admiration aside, he also had a duty to fulfill: he had to retrieve the core of the positioning device!

The high-level Iron Blood Clan member pulled the trident scepter out of Xu Bucai's body, then forcibly chopped off Xu Bucai's arm.

After breaking free, he re-boarded his flying device and pursued Shen Xingyu and the others in the direction they fled.

Only Xu Bucai's unyielding figure remained standing.

The flying device was extremely fast and quickly caught up to Shen Xingyu and the others.

Shen Xingyu, who was driving, saw the flying device reappear in their sight, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions also turned grim.

The fact that the opponent had caught up meant that Brother Xu had sacrificed himself!

Although this was an already fated outcome, everyone's hearts were inevitably shrouded in sorrow.

Shen Xingyu took a deep breath, forcefully suppressed the sadness within, and rapidly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

At this moment, how to escape was the most important thing!

Just as Shen Xingyu was thinking, the flying device had stopped directly in front of them, forcefully intercepting their vehicle.

The faces of everyone in the car instantly turned grim.

Wu Chiren couldn't help but say in exasperation, "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

Shen Xingyu sighed; there was truly nothing they could do now.

At the same time, on the flying device, the high-level Iron Blood Clan member had already disembarked.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran gritted her teeth and said to everyone, "Later, Shen Xingyu and I will hold him back; you all take the opportunity to drive away!"

"You must bring the device core back! It absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the alien race!"

"No!"

Everyone said in unison upon hearing this.

"If we're going, we're going together!" Ji Xing said, looking at the two with a firm tone.

"Yes! If we're staying, we'll stay together!"

Wu Chiren immediately stated his position.

Nakano Keiko and Li Xiaoxiao both nodded, their small faces filled with determination.

Only Zhang Zeyang remained silent, sitting in the car with empty eyes; he still hadn't recovered from Xu Bucai's sacrifice.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyu spoke to them in a firm tone.

"What did we say before? Listen to the captain! Go!"

Then he looked at Wu Chiren: "Later, you drive! Don't worry about anything! Go get help!"

After speaking, Shen Xingyu directly opened the car door and got out, the Zhan Long Sword instantly appearing in his hand, and a dense Sword Intent erupted from him at that moment.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran gave them one last look, then followed Shen Xingyu out of the car.

The people in the car looked at each other.

Wu Chiren silently climbed into the driver's seat.

Then he gave the two one last look and drove the car rapidly towards the stronghold.

"Are we just leaving like this?" Ji Xing was unwilling, and as she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red.

Wu Chiren, driving the car, his face becoming incredibly frantic: "We have to survive!"

Hearing this, everyone in the car had moist eyes.

Wu Chiren's face gradually became distorted; there was another sentence he hadn't spoken aloud.

Only by living would they have a chance for revenge!

A tragic atmosphere spread through the car.

Watching the car leave, the high-level member's expression instantly changed, and he immediately prepared to re-board the flying device.

But how could Shen Xingyu and Lin Qingran give him such an opportunity?

Without another word, the two directly launched an attack on the opponent.

Shen Xingyu dared not be negligent, raising his hand and unleashing Awakening of Insects.

Dense Sword Qi surged towards the high-level Iron Blood Clan member.

The opponent frowned, and the trident scepter in his hand emitted a faint glow; with just one swing, Shen Xingyu's Sword Qi was directly dispelled.

Then Lin Qingran followed closely, wielding her fiery red longsword, and a crimson Phoenix blasted towards the opponent.

But a high-level member was still a high-level member; the opponent still effortlessly dispelled the Phoenix, which was condensed from spiritual energy.

This high-level Iron Blood Clan member was clearly growing impatient; in his eyes, Shen Xingyu and the two were like two clowns.

Since you like to seek death so much, then I shall grant your wish!

The high-level Iron Blood Clan member raised his trident scepter, and a dark red energy blast surged towards Lin Qingran.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyu instantly turned pale with fright.

In a flash, the Zhan Long Sword in Shen Xingyu's hand gathered all the remaining spiritual energy in his body.

He whispered, "Cut Through the Tangles!"

This was the first time he had used this sword technique; as his voice fell, Shen Xingyu transformed into a streak of light and instantly appeared in front of Lin Qingran.

Four or five streaks of Sword Qi crisscrossed, blasting towards the high-level Iron Blood Clan member.

But in just one encounter, the Sword Qi was instantly dispelled by the opponent's energy blast.

Then, to Lin Qingran's astonishment, that energy blast struck Shen Xingyu, sending him flying backward.

Shen Xingyu, like a kite with a broken string, fell to the side in mid-air; he felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter, and he spat out a large amount of blood.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran moved swiftly and quickly caught Shen Xingyu.

"Why?" She looked at Shen Xingyu, whose face was covered in blood, her eyes filled with heartache.

As her voice fell, Shen Xingyu spat out another mouthful of blood and smiled at Lin Qingran: "Your father told me to protect you."

After speaking, Shen Xingyu's vision gradually blurred, and then he completely fainted.

Lin Qingran's nose tingled upon hearing Shen Xingyu's words, and a soft spot in her heart was touched by his words.

She smiled gently, looking at the unconscious Xingyu and murmured, "Thank you."

At this moment, the high-level Iron Blood Clan member clearly didn't want to give them a chance and once again blasted towards the two.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran, despite her unwillingness, knew that she alone could not reverse the critical situation they were in.

She sighed, then couldn't help but look down at Shen Xingyu in her arms, and suddenly a bright smile appeared on her face.

Dying with this guy seemed pretty good too.

Thinking this, Lin Qingran gently reached out and wiped the blood from his face, revealing a somewhat handsome countenance.

At the same time, the energy blast emanating from the trident was about to engulf the two of them.

Just at this critical moment!

A sound of breaking through the air came, and Lin Qingran looked up in surprise.

A figure instantly appeared in front of the two, intercepting the energy blast.

The man in white turned back and smiled at Lin Qingran: "Little sister! Leave the rest to me!"
