Ling Feng!
The name surfaced in Shan Hanyi's mind like a nightmare.
Following it, the power of the Gu Poison Profound Array backfired. Shan Hanyi's heart constricted, and he collapsed.
Those beside him were startled, exchanged glances, and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Shan Hanyi was in a frenzy at this moment, his eyes filled with a ruthless resolve.
This was a critical juncture. Victory, even with severe injuries, would be worth it.
But!
Why?
Why did that scoundrel Ling Feng suddenly explode at the final critical moment?
Seeing that Shan Hanyi still refused to give up, and in the blink of an eye, he repaired the barrier of the Gu Poison Profound Array, those beside him gasped and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Young Master, please let go! You'll be backfired by the Gu Poison Profound Array!"
"Young Master, you can't do this! Hurry, let's go."
"It's no use, the Gu Poison Profound Array is about to go out of control. Young Master, let's retreat quickly. This place will soon become a dead zone. The Gu worms within the Gu Poison Profound Array are all ferociously bloodthirsty and are multiplying rapidly. The entire mountainside will turn into a dead zone."
Amidst the dissuasions of everyone, Shan Hanyi's face grew more and more contorted.
"No! My Gu worms! My Gu worms that I painstakingly collected, how can I abandon them here? No! I won't give Ling Feng the chance to perish with these Gu worms. He is not worthy!"
Shan Hanyi had completely lost his reason.
But just as Shan Hanyi bit his tongue, preparing to spray his vital blood again to activate the Gu array, a voice emerged eerily from behind him.
"Shan Hanyi! Go!"
This voice struck Shan Hanyi's heart like a thunderclap, making his entire body tremble.
Turning his head, Shan Hanyi was stunned, his eyes filled with terror.
"You, you are..."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Sounds of air being broken echoed across the mountain. Immediately, everything around returned to complete silence.
But this silence was soon broken.
The Gu Poison Profound Array... was out of control!
Lacking Shan Hanyi's control, the power of the entire Gu Poison Profound Array erupted completely.
The blood of the people in front had instantly driven the ferocious Gu worms in the Gu Poison Profound Array into a frenzy.
What was originally a very smooth black curtain became distorted, twisting wildly and spreading outwards like a tornado.
Wherever it passed, vegetation instantly withered.
"Was that... was that Senior Ling Feng?" Guan Ya looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
Vaguely, he seemed to have seen Ling Feng break through the black curtain and enter the profound array!
But they had only managed to open a gap with their combined efforts, so how could Ling Feng have broken through so instantly?
Guan Ya's lips curved into a tragic, self-mocking smile.
Perhaps, when a person reaches the extreme of despair, they would fantasize about the most beautiful things!
"Guan Ya, don't space out. Are you going to let the Saintess sacrifice in vain? The Gu Poison Profound Array is bloodthirsty and frenzied, it's already... out of control. Hurry, let's go!"
The mysterious maiden, having regained a little strength to breathe, helped Guan Ya up.
Fleeing was paramount!
Moreover, seeing the changes in the Gu Poison Profound Array, the mysterious maiden immediately guessed something.
The Saintess Ji Yunyue was dead!
She had been devoured by the Gu Poison Profound Array, which was why the array had become so powerful and terrifying.
However, all they could do was flee!
Stirred by her words, Guan Ya instantly awoke and grabbed the mysterious maiden, preparing to sprint away.
However, the rolling black tornado suddenly and eerily stopped.
Guan Ya and the mysterious maiden exchanged glances, both filled with shock and fear.
"What... what is happening?"
The breath Guan Ya had just raised was instantly swallowed back completely.
Thump!
Guan Ya's legs gave out again, and he knelt on the ground, but he tightly held the mysterious maiden, preventing her from falling.
The close proximity made the mysterious maiden's pretty face blush. She looked up towards the eruption site of the Gu Poison Profound Array, and her beautiful eyes lit up completely.
Then, she exclaimed in surprise, "Look!"
Guan Ya followed her gaze!
He saw the black tornado rapidly retracting. The overwhelming Gu worms, as well as the extremely ferocious Gu worms on the ground, all curled up obediently at a person's feet.
And this person's feet were like a bottomless pit; the Gu worms disappeared upon touching them.
As these Gu worms slowly vanished, a majestic, world-dominating figure emerged.
His expression was chillingly cold, his eyes filled with killing intent!
Ling Feng could clearly feel the ferocity of these instantly conquered Gu worms!
The Gu Poison Profound Array, especially after going out of control, was extremely terrifying.
Such profound array power was a disaster of extinction for Ji Yunyue and the others.
And Ling Feng knew exactly what consequences the out-of-control Gu Poison Profound Array would bring.
It would turn the entire mountainside into barren land! If these Gu worms continued to spread and reached below the village, after nourishing so many flesh and blood beings, the rate of Gu worm proliferation and spread would be even faster.
This was hundreds of times more terrifying than the Gu poison on the villagers!
Once it entered towns, counties, and cities, it would cause widespread devastation.
The one who acted deserved to die!
Deserved a thousand deaths!
"Ling, Ling Feng!"
Ji Yunyue's consciousness was hazy. Vaguely, she seemed to see Ling Feng before her, and a smile curved her lips.
It was a smile filled with reassurance.
"I'm here! You're not dead yet!" Ling Feng gently comforted her, his voice firm!
Ling Feng knew that people who had experienced such life-and-death torment, if their consciousness faded, might bid farewell to this world in the next moment, even if they had no physical injuries.
Hearing Ling Feng's voice, Ji Yunyue's spirit was lifted.
Then, her beautiful eyes widened, and like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she quickly struggled out of Ling Feng's embrace!
"Be careful!" Ling Feng supported Ji Yunyue, who was about to fall.
Ji Yunyue also confirmed that she was indeed still alive.
But in an instant, her face was no longer smiling. It was filled with icy coldness. The tenderness of moments ago was like a fleeting glimpse of a flower.
"I knew you would come!" Ji Yunyue nodded forcefully, looking at him like a comrade, her gaze icy.
