Those who can serve as the leader of a branch altar are definitely fanatics!
Moreover, the evil gods and demon gods have been able to infiltrate the entire Xia clan for a long time, and even now they haven't been completely eradicated. They have many extremely powerful means, such as demonic oaths and temporal contracts, etc., to completely control the core elites among their followers! They obey completely in life, and even in death, their souls will go to the demon gods, forever following them!
"Trouble." Dongbeixue Ying's face changed as he looked at Lu Huiru, who was full of hysterical madness.
"Boom!!!"
The ground of the huge hall suddenly surged and then exploded completely! The pillars inside the hall also fell one by one and were shattered by the impact.
Yu Jingqiu and Si Baorong, who were hiding in the corner of the hall, both had their faces change drastically.
"Condense, condense, condense."
Yu Jingqiu didn't have time to use powerful spells at this moment, so she could only instantly cast weaker ones. The ice armor on her body was already the strongest defense she could cast, which could withstand a Silver Moon Knight's attack for a short while. As she instantly cast her spell, a series of ice sheets appeared in front of her, with the ice surfaces tilted, and Yu Jingqiu hid behind the tilted ice surfaces.
Clearly, she wanted to use the tilted ice surfaces to try to reduce the terrible impact force as much as possible. However, the destructive momentum of the entire hall's explosion made Yu Jingqiu somewhat fearful. Could she withstand it?
"No, I can't die, I can't die." Si Baorong's eyes were full of fear. He instantly crouched down and hid behind the tilted ice surfaces. Seeing Yu Jingqiu completely enveloped in the ice armor, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he instantly grabbed one of Yu Jingqiu's arms, pulling her in front of him as a shield.
The defense of a Silver Moon level mage could also reduce a lot of force.
"Si Baorong!" Yu Jingqiu's eyes were full of shock and anger.
"Jingqiu, just sacrifice for me, I will take good care of your family." Si Baorong completely hid behind Yu Jingqiu, using her as a shield. The ice armor had an automatic force-dissipation effect; otherwise, a knight's attack through the ice armor would have killed a mage. Because the ice armor automatically dissipated the force, Si Baorong used Yu Jingqiu as the best shield.
Using Yu Jingqiu as a shield in front, his chances of survival greatly increased. As for whether Yu Jingqiu lived or died? He didn't care at all.
Although he had always pursued Yu Jingqiu, it was only because of her strength and appearance. In the face of life and death, he naturally valued his own life more. He hadn't lived enough yet.
"Damn, damn, Si Baorong!!!"
Yu Jingqiu was both shocked and angry. Originally, she was crouching at the bottom of the tilted ice surfaces, with her arm in front of her for protection. Now, being grabbed, her arm couldn't protect her, and the possibility of death greatly increased.
She was angry.
But as a mage, how could she break free? The power of a Silver Moon Knight was too great.
Not dying at the hands of that terrifying divine messenger, but dying because of Si Baorong would be too unjust.
...
"Trouble."
Dongbeixue Ying instantly sensed the ground surging and beginning to explode. He immediately focused his mind, and a black rectangular shield appeared in his left hand. This was one of the two storage rings the divine messenger had, which contained the shield.
Right hand with a spear, left hand with a shield.
Whoosh!
Dongbeixue Ying, as fast as lightning, directly rushed towards the distance. At this moment, he had already fully activated his power bloodline, with a faint red aura surrounding his body. His speed skyrocketed to an extremely terrifying level. As he flew, the ground of the hall had already exploded, with a large amount of stones flying everywhere! The stones, large or small, were all moving at an extremely fast speed, with astonishing impact force.
"Clang, clang, clang." The left-hand shield continuously blocked some stones, while the Feixue divine spear continuously struck large stones, walls, and huge pillars, allowing him to avoid as much as possible.
In the explosion...
Dongbeixue Ying almost instantly rushed over a hundred meters to where Yu Jingqiu and Si Baorong were hiding behind the tilted ice surfaces. Although he had a shield in one hand and the Feixue divine spear in the other, he was still hit by some stones. The explosion's power was everywhere, and to get there as quickly as possible, he had to use his body to withstand some of it.
However, at the peak of the title level with the power bloodline activated and protected by fighting aura, even if his body withstood the entire explosion's impact, he would only be seriously injured at most. The few stones that exploded and hit him only shattered his protective fighting aura, creating some small holes in his rather tough clothes. Ultimately, Dongbeixue Ying's body was much stronger.
His body easily withstood the impact.
"This Si Baorong!" As Dongbeixue Ying rushed over, seeing Si Baorong using Yu Jingqiu as a shield, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "How despicable!"
"Get lost!"
Dongbeixue Ying grabbed Yu Jingqiu with one hand and kicked Si Baorong with the other. Si Baorong's eyes were still full of shock.
Peng!
How powerful was Dongbeixue Ying's kick? Si Baorong was instantly kicked backward, curling up, and spitting out a mouthful of blood! Although he had been holding Yu Jingqiu's arm, the ice armor automatically dissipated the pulling force, not injuring Yu Jingqiu at all.
Yu Jingqiu stared at Dongbeixue Ying with wide eyes.
Dongbeixue Ying, without hesitation, instantly put away the Feixue divine spear, held Yu Jingqiu in front of him with one hand, and used the largest rectangular shield he had chosen to block the explosion's impact from behind.
...
Yu Jingqiu had been grabbed by Si Baorong as a shield, and the explosion had already come. She had already despaired.
Suddenly, a black-clad young man's figure darted through the explosion area at a terrifying speed. His speed created a series of afterimages. In Yu Jingqiu's eyes, there were many afterimages of Dongbeixue Ying. Dongbeixue Ying, with a shield in one hand and the Feixue divine spear in the other, had a calm and sharp gaze, showing no panic.
The exploding rocks, pillars, and countless flying stones could not stop him.
At this moment—
Yu Jingqiu felt as if Dongbeixue Ying was glowing! Like a great hero.
At this moment, her heart was incredibly stirred.
Peng.
Kicking Si Baorong away, he instantly grabbed her and pressed her against his chest, protecting her with his entire chest. At this moment, pressed against Dongbeixue Ying's chest—though still separated by the ice armor—Yu Jingqiu suddenly felt very safe, as if she were in her father's embrace when she was a child.
Dongbeixue Ying, however, had no time for other thoughts, and the shield was blocking the impact from behind!
"Rumble~~~"
Countless surging stones rushed in all directions. The explosive force, due to the hall being completely enclosed, continued to reverberate inside. The rocks above also collapsed, and the walls of the hall crumbled, with countless large and small stones crazily crushing and impacting. "No!" A shrill scream echoed as Si Baorong, holding a shield, tried to resist but was instantly knocked over by the impact. He was then hit by a large number of stones, his protective fighting aura shattered, and his body, more fragile, instantly appeared with many wounds. His head was hit over a dozen times in quick succession, and he instantly blacked out and died.
In such a confined explosion, it was very difficult to save one's life. Probably only those at the title level had a chance.
"Hmph." Dongbeixue Ying crouched, pressing Yu Jingqiu, trying to completely protect her under his body. His left hand was completely inserted into the ground, and the shield was tilted to dissipate the force.
"Rumble—"
Countless impacts and crushing came, and the tilted ice surfaces instantly collapsed. A large number of stones hit the shield, and some even hit Dongbeixue Ying's feet.
"Hmph!" His left hand grabbed deep into the ground, trying to stabilize, and his right hand held the shield to block the impact. With his power bloodline activated, he could completely withstand the force.
Yu Jingqiu, protected, was unaffected. She lowered her head and could only see Dongbeixue Ying's powerful hand firmly gripping the ground.
Seeing this powerful hand, Yu Jingqiu felt very safe.
"Be careful!" A somewhat urgent voice suddenly sounded.
Rumble—
The entire hall collapsed, and huge rocks fell from above.
Dongbeixue Ying immediately completely enveloped and protected Yu Jingqiu, placing the shield as high as possible. Rumble~~~ Countless rocks fell, and the hall completely collapsed. Almost instantly, Dongbeixue Ying and Yu Jingqiu were completely buried under several meters of rocks.
...
Gradually, the outside became quiet.
The shield was above.
Dongbeixue Ying and Yu Jingqiu were below. The explosion's noise gradually dissipated, and the surroundings were pitch black.
"Hmph." Dongbeixue Ying's brows slightly furrowed; his right leg was pinned, but his body was strong, and this was just a flesh wound.
"Are you, okay?" Yu Jingqiu, hearing Dongbeixue Ying's voice, asked with some concern.
"It's fine." Dongbeixue Ying's voice was still very calm. His right arm held the shield, blocking the rocks above, which probably weighed three to four thousand pounds. "Wait a moment, I can break through these rocks and get out."
