26: Leaving the lava cave, a life-or-death moment.

After hearing Su Yun's words, Wang Shiyan activated her Scarlet Flame Sacred Body.

Blooms of Crimson Flame Sacred Fire appeared beneath her feet.

Stepping on the sacred fire, she quickly arrived at the central platform of the Lava Cave.

Wang Shiyan stepped forward and touched the female blazing flame sword with her hand.

The light red blazing flame sword radiated a dazzling light.

Wang Shiyan pulled out the blazing flame sword with ease.

"You're quite generous, leaving a supreme grade spirit tool for me."

Wang Shiyan looked at the blazing flame sword in her hand, feeling exceptionally happy.

Information about the "Blazing Flame Sword Art" and the blazing flame sword suddenly appeared in her mind.

After digesting this information, Wang Shiyan's cheeks were flushed with a rosy glow.

She discovered that the sword in her hand and Su Yun's sword were a matching pair.

The Cultivation Techniques within were also complementary.

This caused her thoughts to wander wildly.

Could it be that Su Yun likes me?

Otherwise, even if he couldn't use this sword, wouldn't it be better to just take it away?

But choosing a husband like Su Yun doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Seeing Wang Shiyan blush, Su Yun was also momentarily stunned.

This Wang Shiyan couldn't be imagining things, could she?

I'm just giving her the Opportunity she was originally supposed to get, I really don't mean anything else!

"Su Yun, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Wang Shiyan's voice was charming, her face carried a hint of shyness, and her fingers slowly stroked the blazing flame sword.

"Nothing."

"Let's leave this place; we've already obtained the supreme grade spirit tool."

Seeing Wang Shiyan's expression, Su Yun almost couldn't look away.

This female protagonist really is charming and moving, especially with her beautiful voice.

If it were her suitors, they would probably be willing to do anything for her.

But now was not the time for romance.

The System had previously prompted that this Xuanling Secret Realm contained treasures surpassing supreme grade spirit tools.

If he arrived late and they were taken by someone else, it would be a huge loss.

Hearing Su Yun's unromantic answer, Wang Shiyan also curled her lips.

Could it be that he doesn't like me?

Impossible, maybe he's just shy.

Interesting, watch as this big sister takes you down.

He's quite handsome and has great talent; isn't he the perfect candidate for a husband?

At that moment, the Lava Cave suddenly began to shake.

"Not good, it's going to collapse!"

Su Yun noticed that the surrounding rock walls had already begun to cave in.

He guessed that it might be because the blazing flame twin swords were the core maintaining the balance here.

"There's a light gate over there!"

Wang Shiyan no longer had time for wild thoughts.

Her sharp eyes spotted a light gate appearing in the corner.

"That's probably the exit."

"Let's go, quickly!"

"Mhm."

Su Yun took up the blazing flame sword and flew up, controlling the sword.

Wang Shiyan also took up her blazing flame sword and followed closely behind, flying on her sword.

Two red streaks of light flashed across the sky above the lava lake.

Su Yun and Wang Shiyan soon entered the light gate... deep into the Xuanling Secret Realm.

In the center of a massive palace.

An Yuyao, her clansmen, and some members of the Wang Family were gathered together.

They were currently facing a massive crisis.

"Gold Spirit Protection!"

An Yuyao took out a Medium Grade Spirit Pearl, which radiated an intense light.

A massive golden Spiritual Energy Barrier surrounded everyone.

Dozens of Wang and An Family members formed a Formation to provide spiritual energy to the Spirit Pearl.

"Young Miss, we can't hold on much longer!"

"These monsters won't die no matter how much we hit them; they only get stronger as we fight."

"We're not all going to die here, are we?"

"No, help!"

Several strange-looking monsters were attacking the golden barrier.

Fine cracks appeared on the barrier.

These monsters were a Four-Legged Beast made of stone, a giant made of vines, a giant eagle made of fire, and a python made of water.

The sharp long horn on the Four-Legged Beast's head stabbed fiercely into the barrier.

*Crack!*

"Not good, everyone, increase the spiritual energy output!"

An Yuyao's face was now very pale, and her dress was tattered.

She felt that this trip to the Xuanling Secret Realm was truly too dangerous.

She had originally entered the Secret Realm with Su Yun.

But after entering, only a few An Family members remained by her side.

After working together to break through the illusionary realm, they were chased by these monsters.

They met several Wang Family members along the way and learned that at least half of the people who entered the Secret Realm were dead.

Most were killed by these monsters.

Everyone they asked had not seen Su Yun or Wang Shiyan.

Perhaps they had already met with misfortune.

But why did her heart hurt a little?

Su Yun, will I ever see you again?

An Yuyao increased the spiritual energy input.

At the same time, she used her essence blood, injecting it into the Spirit Pearl.

The previously dim Spirit Pearl once again radiated a dazzling light.

The Spiritual Energy Barrier surrounding everyone stabilized once more.

The cracks also shrunk and gradually began to heal.

"Young Miss is truly amazing; we're saved!"

"Hold on a bit longer; we can definitely get out."

"Young Miss will definitely be able to save us!"

The atmosphere of fear gradually dissipated, and everyone was filled with hope.

Only An Yuyao understood in her heart.

They were merely prolonging their last gasps.

Her spiritual energy was gradually being exhausted, her trump cards were used, and she had even used her essence blood.

She had killed those monsters several times.

Unfortunately, those monsters were practically immortal.

The Fire Hawk saw the golden barrier recover.

It opened its mouth wide and let out a sharp screech.

The other three monsters seemed to have heard a command.

The Four-Legged Beast circled the barrier and suddenly used the spikes on its head to charge directly at it.

The tree giant extended countless vines from its hands and crashed directly into the barrier.

The water python opened its mouth wide and lunged at the barrier, taking a fierce bite.

The Fire Hawk circled in the air a few times and then dove straight down, turning into a massive ball of fire that slammed into the barrier.

"Not good!"

An Yuyao's expression changed drastically, and her hands maintaining the barrier began to tremble.

Earlier, they were barely able to block the monsters' attacks because their attack power was around the Golden Core Seventh Layer.

By gathering spiritual energy through a Formation, the Gold Spirit Barrier that so many of them cast together could defend against attacks around the Golden Core Eighth Layer.

But no one expected that these monsters would seem tireless, attacking continuously.

Now everyone's spiritual energy was hitting rock bottom, and the barrier's defensive power had weakened.

Attacking simultaneously now, their power definitely exceeded the Golden Core Eighth Layer.

The four attacks arrived at the same time, and the golden barrier instantly shattered.

An Yuyao and the others suffered from the Formation's backlash and all collapsed to the ground.

After the golden barrier disappeared, the monsters moved as if through an uninhabited land.

Several An and Wang Family members were killed instantly.

"No!"

"Help!"

"Someone, please save us!"

The scene immediately fell into chaos.

As the Young Miss, An Yuyao's position was relatively far back.

So for the time being, the monsters hadn't attacked her yet.

But she understood it was only a matter of time.

Her condition had already been poor before, and after the Formation was broken, she suffered backlash and was severely injured.

Now her spiritual energy could no longer circulate, and she lay miserably on the ground, unable to get up.

"Am I going to die?"

A look of despair appeared on An Yuyao's pale face, her pale golden eyes gazing weakly into the distance.

I really want to see Junior Brother Su Yun again!

Bits and pieces of her time with Su Yun since they met kept flashing through her mind.
