As the Universe Turns - Chapter 414
Chapter 414 Defend Firmly
Very quickly, the figure arrived at the top of the valley. Looking around, it was dark, like dark clouds enveloping the valley. Luo Die couldn’t help but be shocked. There were at least ten thousand people here, but not all the forces of the Earth Realm had come. After coming together, there would probably be tens of thousands of people. Three or four hundred sects, even if each sect brought only a hundred people, there would be thirty to forty thousand people …
At this moment, no matter how calm and composed she was, her hands that were pressed against the strings couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Fuxi Zither seemed to feel the approaching strong enemy, and the strings trembled slightly, and subtle sounds could be heard from time to time.
Xue Wuyue and the others did not expect these people to arrive so quickly. It seemed that there was no news that they could escape Tomb of Gods and Demons’s Skynet.
From the looks of it, more than a hundred sects had arrived. There were large sects and small factions. A moment later, several old men flew into the valley from mid-air. One of them looked at Xue Wuyue and the others and asked, “Is that person really inside?”
“Yes.”
Xue Wuyue nodded gently and did not say anything else. After hearing this, the few old men looked into the cave at the same time. At this moment, their expressions were a little complicated.
After a long time, an old man said to the cave, “Little friend, can you come out and talk?”
There was still no sound coming from the cave. Luo Die knew that Xiao Chen had already reached the most critical stage of his recovery. She could not be disturbed. She said coldly, “He just said that he has nothing to talk about with everyone. If you want to forcefully barge in, you can come as well.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pressed the strings of her zither and did not release it. However, the aura of the divine zither caused many people’s hearts to tremble.
Everyone looked at her and thought in their hearts, who exactly was this cold and gorgeous woman? Facing ten thousand people, she was actually able to guard the entrance of the cave unhurriedly. Just her courage alone had far surpassed how many men in Tomb of Gods and Demons?
The atmosphere gradually solidified. The old men looked at the entrance of the cave, their eyes flickering with a cold light. Although they were not comparable to those experts in the Divine Devil Abyss, they could still be considered influential figures in the Earth Fiend Domain. If they attacked a woman like this, it would be beneath their dignity and cause others to look down on them.
Thinking of this, the old men jumped back at the same time and retreated back to where they had just been. However, the disciples behind them all gathered at the front.
Without waiting for a few old men to give the order, someone had already attacked the formation. Luo Die immediately activated the Genuine energy Condensation Formation. However, the more people attacked, the more people there were. Gradually, the number of people attacking increased from dozens to a hundred.
Seeing the formation being broken layer by layer, Luo Die’s face was already a little pale, but her hands were still playing with the strings. Once someone rushed in, she would immediately use the power of the divine zither to send it flying.
Half an incense stick of time passed, A large number of people fell on the empty space outside the cave. Fresh blood kept flowing out of their mouths. Obviously, they were all injured by Fuxi Zither’s divine power. However, Luo Die was not well either. Every time she used Fuxi Zither’s divine power, it would inevitably cause her Genuine energy to be exhausted. In the end, if she still refused to give up, there was only one possibility-Genuine energy would be exhausted and die.
Although Fuxi Zither was an ancient divine artifact, it also varied from person to person. Luo Die’s cultivation was still insufficient. If it was Ling Yin who was here today, a string would be released. Slow down, there were ten thousand people here. Even if another ten thousand people came, none of them would be able to withstand the might of the divine zither.
None of the old men in the distance had expected a little girl to have such determination. At this moment, an old man dressed in purple looked at her and said, “Young lady, today is the end of the day. No matter how you resist, it’s useless. It’s better to move aside than die in vain.”
This old man clearly had the cultivation of the Profound Comprehension Realm, so his words naturally carried weight. As soon as he said those words, the disciples who were originally attacking the cave stopped.
Luo Die’s face was pale and she smiled miserably, “Since I promised him that I would defend this place, it is absolutely impossible for you to enter and injure him.” As he spoke, he placed his finger on the string.
Many people in the distance frowned. How could there be such a stubborn woman in this world? Old Evil kept shaking his head, “What a pity. Such a beauty is going to die here.”
Luo Die still had a smile on her face. Under the gazes of everyone present, she acted as if nothing had happened. She began to slowly play another tune. However, this song was a little sad and melancholy, and it sounded like it could make people cry.
“Stubborn!”
The purple-clothed old man’s eyes turned cold and he raised his hand. A dozen figures immediately flew towards the entrance of the cave behind him. Seeing the rapid arrival of the dozens of people, Luo Die was naturally prepared. With a flick of the zither string, a zither sound flew out and with a rumble, the dozens of people were sent flying back.
However, in the end, a man’s speed was too fast. He rushed in front of her and pointed his fingers at her shoulder. With a “chi” sound, a stream of true energy hit her right shoulder. Blood immediately splashed everywhere. In addition, she was shaken by this profound energy, and she couldn’t help but gush out a mouthful of blood.
However, even though she was injured, she still hugged the zither, ignoring the pain on her right shoulder and forcefully flicked out a string. The string hit the man in the stomach, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards.
Many people in the distance were dumbfounded by this scene. Obviously, this man was the purple-clothed old man’s disciple. Seeing that his disciple was injured, killing intent suddenly appeared in the old man’s eyes and he suddenly disappeared from the spot.
In the next instant, he suddenly appeared in front of Luo Die like a ghost. He raised his hand and a strong wind instantly lifted the sand on the ground. Just as Luo Die’s fingers were placed on the string, before she could activate it, she felt stifled. She lost control and flew backwards.
Cultivators at the Profound Enlightenment Realm were not at ease when they attacked. Luo Die was like a withered boat in the stormy waves. Facing the palm of a cultivator at the Profound Enlightenment Realm, she did not have the slightest bit of resistance and would instantly be shattered into pieces.
Seeing that Old man Zi Yi’s murderous palm was approaching, at this moment, her gaze was calm. She no longer had the panic she had when she escaped with Xiao Chen. She only smiled sadly in her heart, “I did my best …”
The moment she closed her eyes, a pair of hands behind her suddenly caught her. At this moment, it was as if time had stopped. Everyone in the distance held their breaths.
Luo Die’s heart trembled slightly. He opened his eyes and only saw his side. In the next moment, Old man Zi Yi’s palm had arrived. However, at this moment, time seemed to have slowed down. The old man’s originally extremely fast movements had unexpectedly become extremely slow at this moment.
Looking at Xiao Chen, his eyes were cold. He pointed at the middle point of Old man Zi Yi’s chest, and with a “chi” sound, Old man Zi Yi felt as if he had been heavily injured. His eyes widened, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His entire body flew backwards.
