"Commander, save me!" Tao Qian screamed in fear.
"Don't panic!" Yan Li leaped with all his might and cut off the ghostly hand before Tao Qian was caught by the strong light. He grabbed Tao Qian with one hand, but they both fell because they did not have the ability to fly.
A roar came from within the strong light, followed by a "dong", as if something had knocked on a metal tool. The strong light dissipated naturally, revealing an ancient bronze door that stretched across the void. Visible to the naked eye, there were different kinds of terrible powers, such as the Netherworld Baleful Energy, the power of the Netherworld, and filthy magic power. On the door, there was a lifelike hollowed-out carving of an evil spirit bound by chains, roaring at the sky with unwillingness. Following the sound, the bronze door slowly opened to both sides, as if an abyss had opened in front of them. The air was sucked in at a visible rate, forming a huge whirlpool.
As the two fell, they were suddenly sucked in by the whirlpool. Yan Li quickly hugged the lighthouse nearby, but the strong airflow made them stand upside down, swaying like reeds in a hurricane. Yan Li suddenly heard a faint sound of cloth tearing. His heart sank, knowing that Tao Qian's clothes could not take it anymore. He looked around. There was a watchtower under the lighthouse, and one body's length down was the window of the watchtower. He made a prompt decision, causing his demon blood to boil. With a lot of power that came out of nowhere, he forcibly pulled his feet down and used all his strength to hook into the window. At this moment, the sound of cloth tearing grew louder. At the critical moment, he grabbed Tao Qian with both hands.
"Climb in there and hide!" he shouted. The demon body gave him extraordinary strength. He clamped down on Tao Qian like an iron clamp, pulling him closer to the window bit by bit. Tao Qian had just recovered from the shock. With Yan Li's protection, he finally managed to climb in through the window and escaped the disaster with the help of the thick wall.
Tao Qian escaped death, but the others were not so lucky. The huge whirlpool enveloped the entire Frost Leaf City. Those who escaped from the tower and those who ran in the city were all inevitably sucked into the door. In the blink of an eye, thousands of screams were heard. The thick smell of blood spread in the storm, and the horror continued to ferment.
"Commander, the wall, the wall is moving!" Tao Qian suddenly said in fear.
From Yan Li's perspective, it wasn't just the city walls that were moving. All of Frost Leaf City was trembling. Large areas of the wooden buildings were collapsing, and the people inside were screaming as they were sucked into the door. Because the city walls had been reinforced, they were barely able to hold on. However, this was the final limit. Without this protection, all living creatures in the city would be sucked into the gate and become nourishment for the Evil Spirits.
"Do you have anything like rope on you?"
"Rope?"
Tao Qian did not know the reason for Yan Li's sudden question. He thought about it and said, "No, but I know who does."
"Who?" Yan Li asked.
Tao Qian said, "Huang Shouyi, he has a type of precious artifact called the Soft Golden Rope."
Yan Li said, "Immediately think of a way to find him. Tell him that I can save everyone, and I need his precious artifact!"
"You can save him?"
Huang Shouyi just so happened to be here. As an expert of the Divine Domain, he had sensed that someone had mentioned his name. He only saw Tao Qian huddled in a corner, his feet hooked to the window. Presumably, this was Yan Shifang.
Yan Li seemed to have no muscles or bones. His upper body bent down and passed under his legs, and then he lightly jumped down. He solemnly looked at Huang Shouyi. "I can save him."
"How?" Huang Shouyi asked.
"I'll close the door," Yan Li said.
"How?" Huang Shouyi asked.
"With rope," Yan Li said.
Huang Shouyi's eyes flashed. "The Soft Golden Rope can indeed do it, but when you act, you must be inside the gate. Once it's closed, you'll be a meal for the Evil Spirits. Aren't you afraid of death? "
"I won't die," Yan Li said.
Huang Shouyi said, "No, you still don't understand! There is no reverence in your heart, because you don't know the origins of the Hundred Ghosts! Let me tell you, every one of them was an incomparably powerful lich when they were alive. Because they killed too many, they were not accepted by Jambu and could only hide in the depths of Fengdu's Yellow Springs Mountain. The Hundred Ghost Tokens of the Yellow Mountain refined by the Liches are a path to Yellow Springs Mountain. Middle and low-grade tokens are nothing, but the top-grade tokens refined in the bodies of the Liches can allow the Hundred Ghosts to appear inside the gate for a short time. You can kill one lich, but do you still have the confidence to face a hundred even more powerful liches? "
Yan Li couldn't help but fall silent.
Huang Shouyi bluntly continued his attack. "Do you think that just because you have the Null World, you're truly invincible? The Yin Nether Fiendish Qi specializes in harming your body and Dao foundation, just like the water of the Nether River. You've experienced the power of the Yellow Springs of the Ghost race. When it's thick enough, it can freeze your soul. There's no need to even mention the foul demonic energy. It's the power of decay that the Hundred Ghosts absorb every day in the abyss. They don't even need to touch you to turn you into a pile of bones. Now, do you still think that you won't die? "
"Commander, why don't we flee?" Tao Qian said in a trembling voice.
"It's not the right time yet," Yan Li said.
Huang Shouyi took out a soft rope that seemed to be made of gold and threw it to Yan Li. "It can extend up to five hundred feet. Just inject your True Qi into it. You don't have to worry about its endurance. But do you really not regret it? "
"Thank you." Yan Li fetched the rope and quickly tied a slipknot on both ends.
"Commander, take me away!" Tao Qian gritted his teeth, overcame his fear, and volunteered.
Yan Li shook his head and smiled. "You can't even protect yourself. If you come with me, I'll have to take care of you."
Tao Qian knew that was the truth. He sighed and said nothing.
Yan Li tied the rope around his waist. When he was about to get out of the window, Huang Shouyi suddenly said, "Why are you doing this? Is victory really that important to you? "He thought for a moment and said," In my position, I must bear the weight. "After that, he went out of the window. As soon as he was outside, he was immediately swept away by the storm. The speed was faster than he had expected. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to stabilize his body in the turbulence. He took out his Green Steel Sword and drew it. The Art of Shifting sent him directly behind the bronze door. Just as he had expected, he could hide from the storm behind the door.
He fastened the slipknot on one end of the soft gold rope to the door knocker. He used the same trick and moved to another door. Just as he was about to fasten the slipknot, something unexpected happened. Just as he was about to fasten the slipknot on the door knocker, a person screamed and flew over. Like a drowning man who had grabbed onto his last life-saving straw, he struggled desperately to the top of the door and grabbed onto the soft gold rope.
Yan Li was caught off guard and was almost dragged in. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and suddenly grabbed onto the soft gold rope. His feet pushed against the bronze door. Unfortunately, more and more people saw this life-saving straw. Before they were about to be swallowed by the door, they desperately grabbed onto it. The more people there were, the more weight the other end of the rope had to bear … Under this vicious cycle, even though Yan Li had used his Demon Blood to boil, his body was still sliding up bit by bit. After a few feet, the soles of his boots were rubbed off. The soles of his feet came into direct contact with the bronze door, and soon a layer of flesh was rubbed off. Dark red Demon Blood slowly seeped down from the door.
"Who is holding onto the rope? Let go!" Yan Li knew that no one could be saved if this went on.
"It's Commander-in-Chief Yan!"
"Commander-in-Chief, save me!"
"Commander-in-Chief wants us to die?"
"Commander-in-Chief, I have parents and children to take care of. I can't die!"
"Commander-in-Chief …"
Yan Li shouted loudly, "I came to save more people. Your parents and relatives are still safe. If we don't close this door in time, everyone will die! One person dies, or more people die. What do you choose? "
"Commander-in-Chief is right. We should let go …" One person said sadly and reluctantly let go of the rope. He was immediately swallowed by the storm.
"No, I won't let go. I don't want to die! I'm all alone anyway. I don't care … "
Suddenly, a white light shot over. Yan Li felt his body go limp and he fell down until the rope tightened again. He hung in midair and looked down. He saw a Door of Profundity slowly dissipating.
"Why waste your breath on them? You're too soft-hearted!" Huang Shouyi's voice came from below.
"I'm different from Zhiyuan in the end." Yan Li discovered his hypocritical side. He only "advised people to die" without taking any action, as if this could appease his conscience. However, he was very calm and didn't think it was shameful.
The rope was finally fastened. Next was the last step, which was also the most important one. He infused his true qi and lengthened the rope. He wrapped the remaining part around his waist. He knew this was a huge test on his waist strength, but he had no other choice.
He silently made his devil blood boil. He suddenly scuttled out from behind the door and was swept away by the storm. His waist was suddenly tightened. He felt the air in his chest being emptied. His upper body was violently contracted by a pressing force, making it hard for him to breathe. Moreover, his strength alone wasn't enough to close the door. He tried his best to fly up. He reached the door frame and used his feet to support it. Everything was easier because of the soft gold rope.
He supported himself against the door frame and used his hands to grab one side. He gritted his teeth and pulled with all his might. His devil blood boiled crazily. The bronze door was actually dragged by him. Then, it was forcibly closed against the storm. Because he used so much strength, it put more pressure on his waist. He suspected that his waist would be broken by his own force.
The bronze door was finally completely closed. The storm also disappeared. Everything was dark. Thanks to the soft gold rope, he didn't fall. But the bronze door was completely closed. There wasn't even a crack. He couldn't escape. The core of the Sword Drawing Shifting Technique was the second style of the Green Lotus. It didn't truly shift space. It still had to follow the Law of Matter, so it couldn't be used through the door.
"I really didn't realize you had such a selfless side." Red maples appeared in the darkness. Li Hongzhuang lay on a soft bed made of them and looked at Yan Li lazily.
Yan Li knew this was Li Hongzhuang's illusion. He also said lazily, "Didn't I ask you to dig out my heart and eat it? Doesn't that count? "
