Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 782

Chapter 782: The Master’s Embrace Chapter 782: The Master’s Embrace Infernal Volcanic, however, was the first to snap out of the collective daze.

With ruthless determination, he charged toward her, intending to finish what he had started.

He wasn’t moved by her beauty or her aura-it was meaningless to him.

To him, strength was everything, and she was simply an enemy who stood in his way.

Even as he acknowledged her grace and power, and even though he was startled by the calm acceptance in her eyes despite her injuries, his role left no room for compassion or hesitation.

He was bound to obey his king’s will, and his king had commanded her suffering.

That was his duty, and he would not falter.

But just as he prepared to strike, a flurry of figures appeared in his path.

Tuzi AoFen, Su Lanfei, Gong Yi Ran, Sikong Wenxia, and Li Yongzheng moved with blinding speed, positioning themselves between him and Shenlian Yingyue.

Their sudden intervention made it clear that they would not allow her to face this threat alone.

They moved swiftly, but Shenlian Yinzhu, Jun Mu Yang, Zhiyi, Bing Xue, and the others were even faster.

Without hesitation, they launched an attack on Infernal Volcanic, catching him off guard amidst the collective shock of the battlefield.

Infernal Volcanic was undoubtedly formidable, but even he couldn’t withstand the combined strength of such a powerful group.

Under their relentless assault, he sustained significant injuries.

Before he could retaliate, they withdrew, returning to their roles of battling the demons.

As much as they longed to embrace her frail and battered figure, they understood that now was not the time.

Their focus had to remain on eliminating the demons, particularly Shi Ji, the Demon King, the root cause of her suffering.

Their eyes burned with icy fury.

Zhiyi was the first to charge at Demon King Shi, followed closely by Shenlian Yinzhu, Jun Mu Yang, Xiao Li, and the others.

“You filthy monster!

I’ll tear you apart, slap that ugly face of yours, and-!” Xiao Li’s enraged voice rang out as he and the others vented their fury on the demons surrounding them.

Infernal Volcanic, weakened by the wounds inflicted by Jun Mu Yang and the others, found himself at a disadvantage when faced with Tuzi AoFen, Su Lanfei, Gong Yi Ran, Sikong Wenxia, and Li Yongzheng.

The combined efforts of Su Lanfei’s group pinned him down effectively.

Tuzi AoFen, Su Lanfei, and the others fought with their hearts weighed down by anguish.

They forced themselves not to glance at her, lying weakly in Xiong Zi Ying’s arms.

The battle raged on with unrelenting intensity.

Though the sight of her fragile state had shaken them, they quickly regained their focus and concentrated on the fight ahead.

“My dear, I leave for a short while, and you manage to end up like this?” Xiong Zi Ying’s usual seductive laughter had vanished.

His expression was tightly drawn, and his arms held her protectively.

His playful voice was replaced by a frosty tone, laden with anger and concern.

Shenlian Yingyue remained unaware of the impact she had on everyone-human and demon alike.

Even now, as she tried to speak, blood spilled from her lips, staining her already pale complexion.

“Don’t speak,” Dongfang Moqing and Huang Bai Xing said firmly, appearing by her side before she even realized they had arrived.

They crouched beside Xiong Zi Ying, who cradled her, and attempted to feed her healing pills, but their efforts were futile.

Her injuries were caused by a powerful entity from the Demon Realm.

No matter how resilient her body was or how potent the pills, her condition required more advanced treatment.

Even the Spiritual Water from her small world, renowned for its healing properties, could do little more than ease her pain and begin the slow process of mending her scorched organs and burned flesh.

Recovery would take a little time.

She wanted to reassure them that she was okay, that all she needed was some rest.

But with blood spilling from her mouth due to the injuries to her organs, their fear grew.  Unable to speak, she tried to comfort her brother and friends through her divine sense, insisting that she was truly fine.

“My dear, please talk to me.

How are you?” Xiong Zi Ying called out, forgoing the name he usually used, understanding her choice to show her true self.

He carefully lifted her into his lap and infused her with his spiritual energy to alleviate her pain.

Her gaze met his, layered with complicated emotions.

Seeing him stirred up memories of their troubled past.

Did he hate her?

After all, her clan had been responsible for the deaths of those he cherished.

She felt lost in how to confront him.

Xiong Zi Ying sensed her turmoil too; he wrestled with his own feelings.

Each glance at her brought back visions of those lost to her clan.

Sighing in frustration, he gently scooped her up as if she were a princess and held her close, taking her away to safety.

Dongfang Moqing and Huang Bai Xing tried to follow, but his speed was unmatched.

In an instant, he was gone from view.

“Let’s go,” Xiao Yun said, leading the way, with Lu Long following closely behind.

“Go!” Shenlian Yinzhu ordered coolly, addressing Li Yongzhen and the others.

He longed to chase after his sister but knew they couldn’t risk the safety of Tuzi AoFen and Su Lanfei – they meant a lot to her, and facing the Demon King was beyond their capabilities.

“You may go after her; we’ll take care of this.

Trust us,” Su Lanfei said, her tone flat and devoid of emotion, even as she felt a heavy ache in her heart for Shenlian Yingyue.

Her nails bit into her palms, blood trickling down onto the ground, but she suppressed any sign of distress.

Jun Mu Yang and the others exchanged glances.

The “they” mentioned by Su Lanfei referred to the representatives from various factions around the world.

“Seniors, you may leave this matter to us,” Li Yongzheng said politely to Shenlian Yinzhu, Xiao Li, and the others.

He held great respect for them, knowing they had the power to wreak havoc in Demon City and harm many demons.

That white-haired girl felt strangely familiar, yet he couldn’t quite place her.

He suspected that the powerful figures cloaked in mystery were her allies.

Since she had departed, he figured they had little reason to remain.

Addressing them as seniors was his way of acknowledging their strength.

Tuzi AoFen wasted no time in leaving.

He cared for no one but her.

Meanwhile, Shenlian Yinzhu and everyone didn’t say much, but Bing Xue coldly warned them before departing: “Keep this matter to yourselves.

You saw nothing, and neither did we.” “Or else…” Zhiyi said, giving them a fleeting glance as he turned to leave with the rest.

Dongfang Moqing followed, eager to teleport and reunite.

“Don’t worry, we’ll keep quiet about it,” Gong Yi Ran agreed.

For some reason, Shi Ji chose not to send anyone after Shenlian Yingyue and her group.

He focused on his plan, looking toward the horizon where a multitude of cultivators were rapidly approaching.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Littlecarrot A little bit of the reunion, although, they don’t end up talking to her, but at least, they had seen Yueyue hehehee.
