Chapter 546 The Guide
Chapter 546 The Guide
A spiritual sword stabbed out from halfway.
The long sword instantly caught the monster's claws. A voice rang in the boy's ears: "I say, you're chasing me so relentlessly, do you really want to die?"
As he spoke, he exerted force on his sword. With a "crack," the monster was chopped back dozens of meters. After crashing through several trees, it stood up, its eyes filled with ecstasy: "I knew I was right. You are really here."
"Hehehe, you're seriously injured, how much strength can you have? You definitely can't escape this time!!"
After the monster finished speaking, it roared towards the sky.
The sound spread farther and farther, and the jungle began to stir at the roar. Greedy eyes in the darkness struck like sharp blades, as if they had seen a rare treasure.
The young man didn't know what was happening. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man in fiery red armor holding a long sword blocking his way. However, the man was in poor condition. The armor on his body was covered with bite marks and scratches. One of his arms was only half left, wrapped in cloth, and you could still see a little blood.
The man's face was covered in dirt and fatigue, and he looked around warily. He knew there were countless monsters summoned by the roar, and he should have been able to escape. However, among them was a monster with intelligence.
"They were able to find me based on the scent of blood, and they threatened me with the survivors. It seems they won't succeed this time."
“Hand it over!!”
The demon beast said fiercely. He knew that the person in front of him had "fire" in him. He had finally found a lone person, and they had paid a heavy price to injure him. There was no way they could let him go.
"Leave it to you? Dream on." Lin Yang said.
The man who came was Lin Yang. He had organized an advance team to search for those survivors a few years ago. His luck was bad. The advance team encountered a group of monsters in front of them halfway, and suffered heavy casualties in their efforts to break through.
The demonic beast wanted the fire. Someone had revealed that the fire contained miraculous powers that could dramatically increase one's strength. Of course, the demonic beast wouldn't let the group go, and even if they tried to break out, it would still pursue them.
However, in reality, the Fire Seed can truly enhance strength. This news is not groundless, but this is the most insignificant use. The Fire Seed was created by the Sage Sovereign compressing the will of all living beings. Its very existence is a miracle. Therefore, the more resolute one's will, the brighter the miracles they can unleash.
But this was impossible for a demon beast to ignite. It needed to be ignited; if it wasn't, it would be a useless stone. The fire had been imbued with the power of fate by the Holy Lord. It would choose its own owner and fall into the hands of those who needed it.
That is, the guide, the person who lights the fire and leads the way for all living beings.
The fire can only play an important role in their hands and these fires will be ignited.
But the monsters didn't believe it. While the news alone wasn't enough to convince them, they had seen the fire ignite, and that dazzling light allowed an ordinary person to step into an unimaginable realm.
It can be said that the stronger the will, the brighter the flame that can burst out.
Lin Yang has it in his hand.
The boy stared blankly at Lin Yang, and Lin Yang, sensing his gaze, softened his expression, as if comforting him. Lin Yang straightened his back. He was strong, having been baptized by fire. Yet, to shield his teammates' escape, he single-handedly held off hundreds of demonic beasts, many of them as intelligent as the one before him.
Two fists were no match for four hands, and he was seriously injured, but he still managed to break out. He originally thought he could escape, but things were unpredictable, and the pursuing monsters encountered these young men.
Whatever his purpose, he still came out.
Looking at the monsters approaching, Lin Yang handed the spiritual sword floating beside him to the boy: "I can't help you much. I will try my best to block these monsters, and you can take the opportunity to escape."
The young man saw Lin Yang's resistance and tightened his grip on the sword, making his point clear. And the people behind him, since the young man brought them back, naturally took him as their leader.
If the young man wanted to stay, they would risk their lives; if he wanted to leave, the same would apply.
Lin Yang laughed loudly: "This is all my fault. Why are you joining in the fun? Instead of stubbornly dragging me down, it's better to live."
“You still have a way to retreat.”
The boy's eyes changed, and Lin Yang knew he understood. The current situation was different from when they were in Sishui City. Back then, Sishui City was behind them, and they had no way to retreat. The great demon's choice made it impossible for them to give up their dignity for the sake of survival.
It was different now. Lin Yang was confident that he could hold off these monsters for a while, and there was no need for these young men to sacrifice themselves for no reason. They should live, and only by living could they have a future.
"Walk!!!"
"Under the protection of the seniors," Lin Yang gave the young man a gentle push, then turned without hesitation. A blazing flame ignited his body, a brilliant one. The young man glanced back, his pupils ablaze with the intense heat. The sky-high flames engulfed Lin Yang's body, the upward flames like a curtain, blocking out the darkness and demonic beasts.
The boy seemed to want to imprint this scene deeply in his mind.
He remembered that man, and he also remembered that demon beast. He would come back, absolutely!
With this promise in mind, he felt a burning pain in his chest, and then a surge of power surged from his chest to his entire body. He felt his running speed increasing, and power continued to surge from his body. The boy didn't know what was happening to him.
But it's definitely not a bad thing.
"Be careful!!" Suddenly, a premonition seemed to flash through his mind, and he subconsciously turned around and swung his fist.
"Bang!" His fist struck something, and as the others stared in disbelief, the demonic beast that had been sneaking up behind them, attempting a sneak attack, was sent flying by the young man's punch. It was a three-meter-tall beast, covered in tough fur, but now it was like a rag, its head crushed to death by a single blow. Its body flew backward, leaving a trail of blood on the ground, and it was dead.
The boy didn't understand either. He looked at his fist in disbelief, which was stained with blood.
"Su, how come you're so powerful all of a sudden?" The other teenagers stopped when someone shouted to be careful and happened to see this scene.
The young man named Su didn't react at first, but soon he remembered something.
