Chapter 192 Between Life and Death, Hope Emerges
A dazzling light, like a shockwave, instantly engulfed the entire cave. The Blood Demon Ancestor groaned, thrown back several steps by the sudden force. Dongfang Liuli was also thrown to the ground by the force, but she ignored the pain and scrambled to her feet, anxiously looking in Lei Yi's direction.
The smoke and dust cleared, and Lei Yi's figure slowly emerged. He half-knelt on the ground, the magic crystal in his hand emitting a soft light, illuminating his pale face with flickering light.
"What's going on?" The Blood Demon Ancestor steadied himself and looked at the magic crystal in Lei Yi's hand in surprise. The greed in his eyes became even stronger. "The power of this magic crystal is actually..."
"Cough cough..." Lei Yi coughed up a mouthful of blood, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Old man, if you want to steal my things, you are still far away!"
"You..." The Blood Demon Ancestor was suddenly speechless. He didn't expect that even at this point, Lei Yi could still have such powerful strength.
Lei Yi struggled to his feet. He felt a powerful force surge from the magic crystal into his body, repairing his damaged meridians. He clenched his sword and pointed it at the Blood Demon Ancestor, his eyes as sharp as a blade. "Today, let's end this!"
"Hmph, you overestimate your own abilities!" The Blood Demon Ancestor roared and pounced on Lei Yi again.
The poisonous wolf also roared and rushed towards Lei Yi, opening its bloody mouth, wanting to tear him into pieces.
Lei Yi's eyes focused, and the magic crystal in his hand shone brightly. An invisible force spread out, knocking the poisonous wolf away.
"What?!" The Blood Demon Ancestor was horrified. He felt a powerful pressure emanating from Lei Yi. This pressure actually made him feel a little scared!
"Impossible! How could you possibly…"
Lei Yi ignored the Blood Demon Ancestor's astonishment. He slowly raised the magic crystal in his hand and murmured something in a low voice.
The next moment, the light of the magic crystal suddenly became extremely dazzling, like a small sun, illuminating the entire cave.
"No..." The Blood Demon Ancestor wanted to retreat in fear, but it was too late...
The blinding light swallowed everything. Dongfang Liuli closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her cheeks. She could hear nothing but her own rapid heartbeat. Fear entwined itself around her heart like a vine, making it nearly impossible to breathe.
"Lei Yi——" Dongfang Liuli screamed heartbreakingly, but got no response.
She suddenly opened her eyes and desperately ran towards the center of the light, but was violently bounced back by an invisible barrier. She curled up on the ground in pain, the light in front of her eyes gradually dissipated, and the scene inside the cave became clear again.
Lei Yi remained standing, his body swaying as if he would collapse at any moment. The magic crystal in his hand was dim, clearly drained of its power.
But the Blood Demon Ancestor disappeared without a trace.
Dongfang Liuli struggled to stand up, but found herself powerless and could only watch Lei Yi staggering.
"Lei Yi, how are you?" Dongfang Liuli's voice trembled and was full of worry.
Lei Yi did not answer. He raised his head with difficulty and his eyes fell on the poisonous wolf not far away.
The poisonous wolf did not take the opportunity to attack. It wandered around the ground restlessly, with a fearful glint in its dark green eyes and a low growl coming from its throat, as if it was afraid of something.
Lei Yi's gaze fell on the dim magic crystal, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Is it...
He recalled that when he had fought with the poisonous wolf before, the poisonous wolf seemed to have an instinctive fear of the power of the magic crystal.
This is an opportunity!
Lei Yi gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his body, and injected the last bit of spiritual power into the magic crystal.
A faint light emanated from the magic crystal again, and this time, Lei Yi directed this power towards the poisonous wolf.
Feeling the power of the magic crystal, the poisonous wolf took a few steps back uneasily, the roar in its throat becoming more rapid, it seemed to be hesitating and struggling...
"Now!" Lei Yi's gaze suddenly sharpened. The magic crystal in his hand shone brightly, pointing directly at the poisonous wolf. "Submit, or die!" A flicker of struggle flashed in the poisonous wolf's emerald eyes. Its massive body trembled slightly, and a threatening growl emanated from its throat, but it hesitated to attack. The power of the magic crystal seemed to have awakened an instinctive fear deep within its soul, causing it to waver between the desire to attack and the instinct to survive.
Hiding in the shadows, the Blood Demon Ancestor noticed something strange about the Poison Wolf. He had originally thought victory was certain, but now he realized the situation seemed out of his control. His sinister gaze swept over Lei Yi and the Poison Wolf, finally resting on the magic crystal in Lei Yi's hand.
"Damn it!" the Blood Demon Ancestor roared, obviously having guessed that it was the magic crystal that had affected the poisonous wolf. "Do you think this can change the outcome? Ridiculous!"
The Blood Demon Ancestor quickly formed seals with his hands, and an even more powerful pressure burst out from him. He turned into a shadow and appeared in front of Lei Yi in an instant. His five fingers became claws and went straight for Lei Yi's heart.
Lei Yi was well prepared. He dodged the Blood Demon Ancestor's fatal blow by leaning sideways. At the same time, he aimed the magic crystal in his hand at the poisonous wolf and shouted, "Submit, or die!"
The light of the magic crystal surged again, and the poisonous wolf let out a painful howl. Its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and it kept rolling on the ground, trying to break free from the control of the magic crystal's power.
"You don't know your own limitations!" The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered and attacked Lei Yi again.
Lei Yi was so busy dealing with the Blood Demon Ancestor's attacks that he had no time to consider the Poison Wolf's reaction. Although he had discovered the secret of the magic crystal, he had not yet fully mastered how to use it. The magic crystal's power was like a wild horse that was unbridled and difficult to tame.
Under the Blood Demon Ancestor's furious assault, Lei Yi gradually lost ground. He sustained numerous wounds, his clothes stained red with blood. But he gritted his teeth, persevering. He knew he couldn't fall. If he did, there would be no chance of recovery.
"Lei Yi, hold on!" Dongfang Liuli's anxious voice came from a distance. Although she was suppressed by the pressure of the Blood Demon Ancestor and could not get close, she had been paying attention to the battle situation and cheering for Lei Yi.
Hearing Dongfang Liuli's voice, Lei Yi felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his body, and tried to concentrate on controlling the power of the magic crystal...
"boom--"
After a loud noise, the cave fell into silence.
