"We’re almost out!" Asuka Hana said excitedly to Ye Feng, tightly grasping his arm.
At that moment, Miyagi Ryoyu stood at the entrance of the cave, with all his True Essence erupting, focusing all his power on his thighs. In an instant, his thighs were wrapped in endless True Essence, and the veins on his thighs and calves bulged out one by one, making his entire leg seem to have swelled up instantly.
Miyagi Ryoyu used all his strength and bellowed, "Break for me!"
With a roar, Miyagi Ryoyu heavily stomped toward the entrance of the cave.
"Boom!" In an instant, the ground shattered, and the entrance collapsed, chunks of boulders kept falling. Seeing this, Asuka Hana shouted in shock, "Miyagi Ryoyu, what are you doing? Stop it right now!"
However, upon hearing Asuka Hana’s words, Miyagi Ryoyu didn’t stop his actions; instead, his expression became even more frenzied, "You whore, if it wasn’t for you giving my things to someone else, would I have disturbed this freakish bird? You adulterers, both of you, go to hell!"
Miyagi Ryoyu roared and stomped fiercely on the ground again.
Rumble~~ The ground continued to shake, and one by one, the boulders kept falling.
"Asshole!" Asuka Hana cursed loudly in anger, but Miyagi Ryoyu didn’t stop his destruction of the cave entrance because of her curse.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The loud noises continued to sound, and more boulders kept falling down. In less than the time for five breaths, the entire entrance was blocked, sealed tight.
Without half an hour, Asuka Hana wouldn’t even dream of getting out of the cave.
"Hmph! This is what happens to those who offend me!" Seeing the cave entrance completely blocked, Miyagi Ryoyu breathed a sigh of relief, then a smile appeared on his lips, thoroughly satisfied, and he left with ease.
"It’s over!" Asuka Hana suddenly fell into despair, knowing she wouldn’t be able to escape.
"I’m sorry, Ye Feng, it was me who harmed you. If I had given you the Three-colored Flower a bit later, at least waited until we left the cave to give it to you, Miyagi Ryoyu wouldn’t have been enraged... then the Undying Bird wouldn’t have awakened..." A look of guilt appeared in Asuka Hana’s eyes.
Asuka Hana had originally just wanted to repay Ye Feng’s favor, but she had not anticipated everyone falling into such peril and causing the death of so many people.
However, Ye Feng still wore an easygoing expression, without the slightest bit of panic.
"Whoosh!" Just then, a terrifyingly intense wave of heat suddenly spread around, striking Asuka Hana and Ye Feng. The massive figure appeared—the Undying Bird was in pursuit!
Ye Feng’s eyes held a relaxed expression as he glanced at the Undying Bird, seemingly unconcerned.
But Asuka Hana had resigned herself to her fate, no longer holding any hope for survival.
"Ye Feng, I will fight the freakish bird in a moment. You take the chance to run. I’ll try my best to hold off the bird. Run as far as you can, and don’t worry about me, understand?" Asuka Hana said to Ye Feng with a solemn look in her eyes.
Ye Feng still wore a relaxed expression, seemingly indifferent, not taking Asuka Hana’s words to heart at all.
"Damn it, I’m going all out with you!" Asuka Hana roared in anger, and without waiting for Ye Feng’s response, she charged out.
Wind kicked up beneath Asuka Hana’s feet as she pushed her speed to the utmost limit. Her swift pace, like a shooting star, brought her in front of the Undying Bird in an instant. Her dagger, infused with True Essence, transformed into a blade over a meter long.
Asuka Hana swung her dagger, stabbing towards the chest of the Undying Bird.
However, a look of disdain appeared in the Undying Bird’s eyes, and it reached out with its claw towards Asuka Hana.
"Clang~~" echoed the sound of metal colliding, and in that moment, Asuka Hana’s True Essence shattered as quickly as fragile tofu.
The powerful force impacted Asuka Hana’s body directly, sending her flying back from the terrifying strength, leaving her feeling numb.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, Asuka Hana’s body smashed heavily against the stone wall.
"Ah!" Asuka Hana spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, fully immersing herself in the battle. She immediately sprung up, without any pause, and went after the Undying Bird once more.
In an instant, Asuka Hana was at the Undying Bird’s side again, her dagger thrusting towards the bird’s eyes.
The Undying Bird easily lifted its claw, swiping toward her.
"Boom!" The powerful force once again shook Asuka Hana’s body. She felt as if her body was about to shatter, the pain reaching an extreme level.
Boom~~~ Asuka Hana heavily crashed against the stone wall again. However, like an indestructible cockroach, she did not pause for a moment and charged out once more, going after the Undying Bird again.
"Clang~~" The colossal sound resonated as the Undying Bird’s claw once again collided with Asuka Hana’s dagger.
Asuka Hana’s whole body was sent vibrating, feeling as if all her organs were about to shift out of place, agony reaching its utmost, blood continuously spurting out.
This time, Asuka Hana finally could no longer grasp her dagger; it slipped from her hand, flying out and falling to the ground.
Pain filled Asuka Hana’s eyes as she flew backwards, thinking to herself, "Is this my limit?"
However, a faint smile appeared on Asuka Hana’s lips, at least she had bought about ten breaths’ worth of time. Ye Feng should have been able to escape by now, she should have bought him some time.
"Ye Feng, I don’t owe you anything this time..." Asuka Hana closed her eyes.
"Boom~~~" This time, Asuka Hana did not smash against the stone wall, but was caught by someone.
And the person who caught Asuka Hana was none other than Ye Feng.
Ye Feng, holding Asuka Hana, saw her startled expression. She looked up to see his incredibly handsome face, and for some reason, being held in Ye Feng’s arms gave her a strong sense of safety, as if with Ye Feng, even if the sky fell, there was no need to fear!
