110: I don't have the energy to change clothes, how about you help me?

Lu Ming didn't ask further; he trusted Bai Qiuyue wouldn't make groundless claims.

He abruptly turned, holding her, and sprinted eastward.

Thunderclap Killing Burst was pushed to its limit, leaving several afterimages in his wake, like a phantom.

All around was a vast, boundless black fog, making it impossible to discern direction.

Lu Ming could only rely on Bai Qiuyue's faint guidance, swiftly moving through the darkness.

"It's on the left!" Bai Qiuyue's voice rang out again.

Lu Ming looked up and, sure enough, saw a massive waterfall not far ahead, cascading from above.

The water rushed turbulently, its roar terrifying.

Beneath the waterfall was a bottomless pool, its surface shrouded in a thick white mist.

"Go down!"

Lu Ming didn't hesitate; he held Bai Qiuyue and leaped into the pool.

"Plop!"

With a loud splash, their bodies were instantly engulfed by the icy, biting water.

Lu Ming held Bai Qiuyue tightly; he could feel a powerful energy within the current, frantically eroding his body.

But he didn't let go; he protected Bai Qiuyue in his arms.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Less than a second after they jumped into the pool,

the spot where they had been was instantly struck by several black energy pillars.

The ground cracked, rubble flew, and the immense power was enough to level a small hill.

"Run? Can you escape?"

A chilling voice, as if from the netherworld, carrying an bone-chilling coldness, drifted from afar.

Lu Ming's expression became very solemn.

He was still too slow!

That old geezer above must have seen them jump into the lake.

"Heh heh, do you little mice naively think I won't find you if you hide in the water?"

The Shadow Guard's voice came from the water's surface, laced with a hint of mockery.

Lu Ming's brows furrowed; he could feel that powerful aura lingering on the water's surface.

He didn't swim upward but, holding Bai Qiuyue, continued to dive deeper.

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud crash suddenly came from the water's surface.

A black ray of light, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced into the pool.

Lu Ming's pupils constricted; he could feel that black ray of light rapidly approaching him.

He no longer dodged; he abruptly turned, throwing the Thunder Spear in his hand.

It instantly transformed into a thick bolt of lightning, striking towards the black light.

"Boom!"

The lightning and black light collided, emitting an earth-shattering roar.

The pool instantly boiled, and the powerful energy impact made Lu Ming's body jolt violently.

Bai Qiuyue, in his arms, also let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from her lips.

"Lu Ming!" She looked at him in horror.

Lu Ming's face was pale; he could feel his spiritual power draining at an incredible speed.

He knew that if this continued, they would quickly be exhausted to death here.

"Lu Ming, quick... come with me!"

Bai Qiuyue's voice was weak and urgent; she ignored the blood on her lips, using her last bit of strength to point to the bottom of the pool.

Lu Ming didn't hesitate; he knew Bai Qiuyue would never joke at a time like this.

He hugged her tightly again, enduring the immense resistance of the water, and dove towards the deepest part of the pool.

The pressure at the bottom grew stronger and stronger, and the bone-chilling cold seemed to freeze him.

But he didn't let go; he held Bai Qiuyue tightly in his arms.

"Just ahead... there's... an entrance..." Bai Qiuyue's voice grew fainter and fainter, almost inaudible.

Lu Ming looked closely and, indeed, on the rock wall at the bottom, there was a bronze door covered in moss and aquatic plants.

It floated silently, emitting no light; if Bai Qiuyue hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Boom!"

Just then, a black ray of light once again pierced from the water's surface, heading straight for them.

Lu Ming knew this was the Shadow Guard's attack, and he was out of time.

"Go!"

He used the last of his strength to rush towards the bronze door.

"Buzz!"

A powerful suction force came, and Lu Ming felt his vision blur.

The next second, they appeared in a completely unfamiliar world.

Here, there was no black fog, no water, no biting cold.

Everything was bright, and the air was filled with rich spiritual energy, making one feel refreshed.

Lu Ming gently placed Bai Qiuyue on the ground; he could feel her body was extremely weak.

"Where is this...?" Lu Ming gasped, looking around warily.

"This is... where my Master obtained her inheritance..."

Bai Qiuyue's voice was weak, and her delicate body shivered constantly from the cold.

Lu Ming's pupils constricted.

Aunt Bai's Master, the First King below the Ninth Realm - Luo Yuheng, her inheritance was actually in this godforsaken place, Black Abyss?

Then, he recalled Li Zheng Guo's meaningful words after lighting the Linyuan City torch.

Could it be that there really are other humans in Black Abyss?

Or, before the advent of Black Abyss, this world was a flourishing era of cultivation?

Lu Ming's thoughts raced, but now was not the time to investigate these things.

He gently placed Bai Qiuyue on the ground, feeling that her body was already extremely weak.

Moreover, the Shadow Guard was above, with the possibility of breaking in at any moment.

"Don't... don't worry..."

Bai Qiuyue leaned against Lu Ming, trying to calm her breathing; the cold from the water exacerbated her already weak body.

"This forbidden land... only those with the Great Xia bloodline can enter." Bai Qiuyue's face was ashen, and she struggled to sit up.

At these words, the worry in Lu Ming's heart immediately subsided.

He quickly stepped forward to check Bai Qiuyue's condition.

"Aunt Bai, how are you?" His voice carried a hint of anxiety.

"I... I'm fine..."

Her voice was still weak, but no longer trembling.

Lu Ming let out a long sigh, only then realizing her clothes were already soaked.

The soaked fabric clung tightly to Bai Qiuyue, perfectly outlining her mature and voluptuous curves.

Her originally loose outer garment, soaked by the water, was semi-transparent, vaguely revealing the outline of her plain inner clothing.

Following her rounded shoulders downwards, it gently cinched at her waist and then naturally flared out at her hips, accentuating her uniquely feminine and graceful curves.

Her pinned-up long hair was a bit messy, and a few drops of water from the ends slid down her fair, smooth face, disappearing into the abyss.

One of her shoes had been lost during their escape, exposing her small, delicate foot.

Five jewel-like, pink toes were slightly curled.

Lu Ming simply took off her other shoe as well, feeling a soft, warm touch.

But now was not the time for such thoughts; he forcefully pushed away those chaotic ideas.

"Aunt Bai, do you have any clothes in your storage bag?"

With her small foot held by the young man, Bai Qiuyue instantly felt all her strength drain away.

She rested her head against the stone wall, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her red lips slightly parted.

"Auntie has no strength to change clothes; how about you help me change?"

Lu Ming looked up in surprise.

Only then did he realize that Bai Qiuyue's fair, oval face seemed to be flushed like a sunset, exuding enchanting charm.

And in her eyes, a faint pink glow actually appeared...
