Chapter 222 Crisis!
"The Elder is mighty!"
The Golden Core disciples of the Qingyun Sect, kneeling on the ground, shouted in unison, their voices filled with awe and worship.
The white-haired old man snorted coldly, his icy gaze sweeping over them. His tone was full of dissatisfaction: "Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Six ants, and I had to personally deal with them. You've utterly disgraced the Qingyun Sect!"
"This disciple knows his mistake! This disciple knows his mistake!"
The Golden Core disciples immediately lowered their heads, repeatedly admitting their mistakes, not daring to even breathe loudly.
The white-haired old man ignored them and slowly turned his gaze to the center of the valley, to the lotus flower that was about ten feet in size, and to Wei Yu sitting on the lotus flower.
His eyes instantly turned greedy, and the spiritual energy around him began to stir slightly.
His purpose in coming here was never to kill these players, but to take this lotus flower and the mysterious little boy sitting on it.
These players were nothing but clowns who blocked his path, so he took action to kill them as a warning to others.
Now, all the players have been killed, and no one can stand in his way anymore.
"Ancient treasures, and this mysterious little boy..."
A greedy smile curled at the corner of the white-haired old man's lips. "Once I obtain you, my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm will be just around the corner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed away and quickly walked towards the lotus flower.
His steps were slow, yet carried a powerful sense of oppression as he approached Wei Yu step by step.
The Golden Core disciples who were kneeling on the ground also stood up and followed behind the white-haired old man, their eyes warily fixed on Wei Yu, fearing that Wei Yu would suddenly make a move.
Wei Yu, sitting on the lotus, his small body did not tremble at all. He looked at the white-haired old man with cold eyes, and deep in his eyes was a trace of calculation and vigilance.
He had been observing the entire battle.
The white-haired old man's strength far exceeded his expectations. The pressure of the Nascent Soul stage and his overwhelming combat power filled him with shock.
He originally thought that by using the power of the players, he could weaken the white-haired old man's strength, or even kill him, thereby gaining more divine soul power.
But he didn't expect that the players would be so vulnerable in front of the white-haired old man, and they were all killed in less than a minute.
Is this the strength of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?
Wei Yu's heart was filled with solemnity.
Although his soul has become more solidified and his strength has recovered to most of its original amount, he still has no chance of winning against the white-haired old man in the Nascent Soul stage.
To contend with the white-haired old man, to save his own life, and to obtain the power of the lotus, he must find a way.
Wei Yu's gaze fell on the lotus flower beneath him, and an idea formed in his mind.
This lotus flower contains extremely rich spiritual energy and possesses strong defensive capabilities. Previously, when the merman tried to touch the lotus, he was repelled by its golden light.
Perhaps, with the help of the lotus's power, he could block the white-haired old man's attack, or even counterattack him.
Wei Yu slowly raised his small hand and gently stroked the lotus petals. He silently recited in his heart, guiding the lotus's spiritual energy to gather around his body, forming a thick golden shield.
hum-
The lotus trembled slightly, and rays of rich golden light slowly seeped out from the petals, surrounding Wei Yu and forming a dazzling golden shield with extremely strong defensive power.
The white-haired old man walked up to the lotus, stopped, and looked at it greedily. He then glanced at Wei Yu, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "Oh? You can even manipulate the lotus's power? Interesting."
"However, this amount of power is still like an ant in front of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired old man reached out his hand, wanting to touch the lotus petals and snatch the lotus away.
Just as his hand was about to touch the lotus petals, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the lotus, instantly repelling his hand.
"Um?"
The white-haired old man frowned, a look of surprise on his face. "This lotus's defense is actually this strong?"
He had only casually stretched out his hand without using his full strength, yet the golden light of the lotus had forcefully repelled him, which surprised him somewhat.
"It seems that this lotus flower is indeed an ancient treasure, with defensive capabilities far exceeding my expectations."
The white-haired old man's eyes grew even more greedy. "However, the more it's like this, the more I want it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual energy around him surged instantly, and the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage swept across the entire valley once again. He also drew his long sword again, which gleamed with a cold light.
"Azure Cloud Sword Technique - Mountain Split!"
The white-haired old man roared angrily and swung his long sword fiercely at the lotus flower.
A massive blade of spiritual energy erupted from the longsword, carrying immense power, and slammed fiercely towards the lotus, attempting to shatter it completely.
Wei Yu's expression changed, and he quickly guided the lotus's spiritual energy to reinforce the golden light shield once again.
hum-
The golden shield became even more dazzling and thicker, radiating boundless spiritual energy, attempting to block the enormous spiritual energy blade.
boom--
The spiritual energy blade slammed into the golden shield, producing a deafening roar. A massive shockwave swept across the entire valley, sending rocks flying and dust billowing everywhere.
Wei Yu sat on the lotus, his whole body numb from the huge shockwave, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing became somewhat disordered.
The golden shield, while blocking the spiritual energy blade, also developed shallow cracks, clearly indicating that it had also suffered a significant impact.
"Hahaha! So easily defeated!"
Seeing this, the white-haired old man burst into laughter, his eyes filled with disdain. "Give me another blow, and let's see if you can withstand it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his longsword again, unleashing a series of enormous spiritual energy blades that slashed towards the lotus flower. Each blade carried immense power and was incredibly potent.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of earth-shattering roars echoed through the valley, and the cracks on the golden shield grew more numerous and deeper, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Wei Yu's face grew paler and paler, and more and more blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. His internal strength was being rapidly depleted, and his soul was beginning to become somewhat unstable.
He knew that even with the power of the lotus, he could only barely block the white-haired old man's attack and was completely unable to retaliate.
If this continues, the golden shield will eventually be shattered by the white-haired old man, and then he will be in dire straits and become the old man's prisoner.
We must find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible!
Wei Yu's mind raced as he considered countermeasures.
The players have all been killed, and no one can help him anymore. He can only rely on himself and the power of this lotus flower.
He looked at the lotus flower beneath him again, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
This lotus flower not only contains abundant spiritual energy and possesses strong defensive capabilities, but it may also have offensive capabilities.
However, he has not yet fully mastered the power of the lotus and does not know how to guide it to unleash an attack.
"There's no time left! I have no choice but to give it a try!"
Wei Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart. He closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, felt the power of the lotus, and guided the lotus's spiritual energy to gather in his hand, wanting to release an attack to counterattack the white-haired old man.
