381: Chapter 381 Big brother, let me help you!

The lingering power of the Great Emperors Law was like a wild horse off its leash, crashing frantically through Xu Chen's limbs and bones.

The sensation was akin to having an erupting volcano forcibly stuffed into his Dantian.

The terrifying high temperature instantly evaporated the remaining moisture in his body. Even his crimson cloak, which was supposed to be impervious to water and fire, began to spontaneously combust under the searing heat, turning into specks of ash that drifted away in the wind.

"Ugh!"

Xu Chen let out a sudden, muffled groan.

He tried his best to release his grip on the two women's waists to prevent the rampaging energy from harming them, but he found that he had completely lost control of his body. The violent Great Emperors Laws were like maggots on a bone, firmly locking down the Meridians throughout his body.

His peerlessly handsome face was now flushed bright red, and the veins on his forehead throbbed violently. His eyes, once deep and profound, were now completely filled with terrifying bloodshot streaks, reflecting a primal desire and pain that bordered on bestial.

"Husband!"

Ji Qingyun was the first to notice Xu Chen's abnormality. She felt the arm around her shoulder was frighteningly hot, as if it were a branding iron just pulled from a steel furnace.

When she looked up and met Xu Chen's blood-red, aggressive eyes, her heart, which had just settled down, instantly leapt into her throat. She was all too familiar with this state!

Back in the damaged Imperial Formation, when she herself was afflicted by the pink poisonous miasma, she had also been like this—completely devoid of reason and consumed by lust.

This was clearly a backlash of Qi and blood caused by energy overload. If not channeled in time, it would lead to Qi Deviation at best, or a fatal explosion of the body at worst!

"Big Brother, what's wrong? Don't scare Youyou!"

Tuoba You also panicked. She stared blankly at her Big Brother, who just a second ago had looked like a descending God of War, majestic and awe-inspiring, but was now gasping for breath in pain, his entire body as hot as a furnace.

The little girl had never encountered such a situation before, and tears welled up in her eyes from anxiety. She wanted to use her natural monstrous strength to help her Big Brother suppress the fire inside him, but she was afraid she couldn't control her power and would hurt Xu Chen instead.

She could only helplessly cup Xu Chen's burning cheeks with her fair, tender little hands, crying out in confusion.

"Sister Qingyun, is Big Brother sick? Please save him!" Tuoba You turned her head, looking to Ji Qingyun for help like she was grasping at a life-saving straw, her eyes brimming with tears.

Ji Qingyun bit her delicate red lips, a flash of determination crossing her cold eyes.

She knew better than anyone that the only way to resolve such a domineering backlash from the Great Emperors Law was through Yin and Yang harmony, channeling out that violent Pure Yang Qi.

However, the Longevity Origin within her own body had already been mostly consumed last night to help Xu Chen neutralize the poison. If she were to forcibly endure Xu Chen's Great Saint-level rampaging energy now, she feared the Foundation of her Creation Green Lotus would be completely incinerated.

The only one who could withstand the impact of such violent power was the girl from the Forbidden Zone before her, who had achieved a Saint-Grade Physical Body and possessed natural monstrous strength!

"Youyou, listen to me."

Ji Qingyun took a deep breath, enduring the high temperature radiating from Xu Chen's body, and leaned close to Tuoba You's ear, whispering rapidly in a very fast and cryptic voice.

She didn't explain the profound principles of Dual Cultivation; she simply told this girl, whose mind was like a blank sheet of paper, in the most direct way that only she could save Xu Chen now. And the way to save him was to give herself to this man without reservation.

Listening to Ji Qingyun's instructions, Tuoba You's doll-like face, already flushed from anxiety, instantly turned so red it looked like it could drip blood. Even her crystalline earlobes were stained with a burning crimson hue.

In her understanding, the most intimate things between a man and a woman were holding hands and patting heads. She couldn't imagine how shameful the "detoxification" methods Ji Qingyun spoke of actually were.

But when she turned her head again and saw Xu Chen's pained, distorted face and his bloodshot eyes from extreme endurance...

The shyness of a young girl was instantly overwhelmed by her deep attachment to Xu Chen and her desperate desire to save him.

Big Brother was willing to give his life to save her. How could she stand by and watch him be burned to death by the fire inside him!

"Sister Qingyun, let go, let me do it!"

Tuoba You haphazardly wiped the tears from her face, her gaze becoming more determined than ever before.

She broke free from Ji Qingyun's support and her small body suddenly lunged at Xu Chen. Like a brave little beast, ignoring the terrifying heat that could melt metal, she threw her arms wide and tightly hugged Xu Chen's burning waist.

"Big Brother, Youyou will help you! Youyou isn't afraid of the heat!"

Tuoba You tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and clumsily and haphazardly pressed her two soft, slightly cool lips against Xu Chen's dry, peeling ones.

Boom!

The moment their lips touched, the last string of sanity in Xu Chen's mind snapped completely.

The lingering power of the Great Emperors Law, which had been accumulating in his body with no outlet, finally found a Breakthrough for release.

That extremely pure Pure Yin Qi, carrying a hint of primal aura, flowed from Tuoba You's lips like a spring of clear water meeting a long drought, surging into Xu Chen's parched and burning Meridians.

Reason receded, replaced by the most primitive and wild instinct.

Xu Chen took the initiative, an suffocating aggressiveness erupting in his once blood-red eyes. He suddenly grabbed the back of Tuoba You's head like a hungry wolf, greedily and dominantly claiming the sweetness that could quench the evil fire in his body.

Tuoba You let out an indistinct whimper.

She felt as if her breath had been completely stolen by this domineering man.

The overwhelming masculine aura pressing down on her made her mind go blank. She instinctively wanted to reach out and push Xu Chen away, but her proud, natural monstrous strength seemed so weak before this Great Saint who had completely fallen into a berserk state.

Xu Chen's body was like an indestructible furnace, locking her firmly in his embrace, unable to move.

The violent energy formed a purple-gold energy vortex between their embracing bodies. The surrounding air was rapidly sucked dry, and even the charred stone slabs beneath their feet began to melt into dark red magma under the impact of the terrifying heat and blood energy.

Ji Qingyun stood a few paces away.

Watching this wild and visually impactful scene, a layer of blush couldn't help but rise on her cheeks as well.

She knew well that the following scenes were not suitable for observation. She took one last look at the brave girl who had taken the initiative to sacrifice herself to save him, a flash of admiration and relief in her eyes.

"Husband, Youyou... take care."

Ji Qingyun murmured softly, then turned around, her figure transforming into a streak of water-blue light as she swiftly retreated from the ruins that had become the center of an energy storm.

She landed on a relatively intact, broken stone palace hundreds of feet away. With her back to the piercing purple-gold light, her jade hands formed seals to set up a soundproofing and concealment Formation, dutifully acting as a sentry.

And in the center of that purple-gold energy vortex...

Xu Chen's breathing had become heavy to the extreme. After finding an initial outlet, the lingering power of the Great Emperors Law became even more arrogant. He scooped up Tuoba You in his arms and strode toward a hidden stone chamber deep in the ruins that had not yet completely collapsed.

"Big Brother..."

Tuoba You huddled obediently in Xu Chen's arms. In her clear, deer-like eyes, though there was still a trace of apprehension about the unknown, there was more of a sense of absolute resolve.

She tightly gripped the lapel of Xu Chen's sweat-soaked clothes and whispered in his ear a sound as faint as a mosquito, yet enough to ignite all the explosives.

"Youyou... will listen to everything Big Brother says."

With that murmur, Xu Chen carried Tuoba You and strode into the dim, hidden stone chamber.
