Chapter 77 Liu Shen Makes a Move
"Boy, are you now willing to come back to Heavenly God Mountain with me?"
Yun Canghai walked slowly toward Shi An, his tone carrying a hint of mockery and an undeniable authority, as if everything was under his control.
He believed that after this fierce battle, Shi An should have understood the difference in strength between the two sides and it was time to accept reality.
As Yun Canghai pressed closer, the surrounding air froze once more. The clamor of Yunyin Ancient City was completely drowned out by the battle, leaving only the heavy, slow sound of Yun Canghai's footsteps.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!"
As Yun Canghai drew ever closer, Shi An struggled to stand up, but the severe injuries to his body made each attempt seem futile.
In the end, he could only look up at Yun Canghai, his eyes showing no surrender, only resentment and determination: "I appreciate your kindness, senior. But I must choose my own path. Even if the road ahead is difficult and a slight misstep could lead to my death, I will never abandon my principles."
Upon hearing this, Yun Canghai frowned slightly. He had thought that after severely injuring the boy, the boy would at least be somewhat shaken, but he never expected that the boy's will would be so tenacious, and he still refused to give in even now.
"Hmph, stubborn as a mule!"
Instantly, anger surged within him, his face growing increasingly grim. Finally, he coldly snorted, "Since that's how it is, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll give you a quick death!"
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Canghai once again gathered his spiritual power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Shi An.
"boom!"
However, at this critical moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly surged between heaven and earth, and an ancient and powerful force permeated out from the void, instantly enveloping the entire Cloud Hidden Ancient City.
Such a change was so shocking that even Yun Canghai, the patriarch of the Celestial Race, paused and his expression became solemn.
"This is·······?"
Gazing at the strange phenomenon in the sky, Yun Canghai was filled with doubt and surprise. The level of this power made even a Venerable like him feel an indescribable tremor in his heart.
"call out!"
Immediately afterwards, a verdant willow branch suddenly emerged from the void, its surface glowing faintly with fluorescent light, radiating boundless pressure and an ancient aura.
The willow branches swayed gently, creating ripples in the space, instantly dissolving the spiritual power that Yun Canghai had gathered into nothingness.
"The Willow Goddess!"
Looking at the emerald green willow branch, Shi An was overjoyed and felt an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart.
He never expected that Liu Shen would appear at this critical moment.
However, compared to Shi An, who seemed to have survived a disaster, Yun Canghai, who was originally confident of victory, suddenly changed his expression.
You must know that he is the patriarch of the Celestial Race, one of the ancient divine mountains, the Celestial God Mountain. He is a true Venerable. In this lower realm, as a Venerable, he may not be invincible, but at least there should be no one who can make him feel as insignificant as an ant.
Even if the other party is a god.
After all, he wasn't unfamiliar with gods, but the willow branch in the void now felt even more powerful than a deity, much like the patriarch of the Celestial Race from the Upper Realm whom he had once seen from afar…
No, he's even stronger than that clan leader!
"I don't know who you are, senior..."
Thinking of this, Yun Canghai instantly restrained his aura and his tone became respectful. He knew that in front of such an existence, any pride and dignity had become meaningless.
But to his utter panic, the emerald green willow branch ignored him, instead swaying slightly before growing rapidly and pointing at him with an aura that made heaven and earth tremble.
This scene caused Yun Canghai's expression to change drastically, and he immediately tried to flee.
"No········"
But the next moment, he felt despair, because an invisible pressure enveloped him, and he was now completely unable to move.
As he sensed the approaching aura of death, Yun Canghai felt an unprecedented fear welling up inside him—a sense of powerlessness in the face of absolute power.
The being behind that willow branch was absolutely powerful beyond his comprehension, and might even have surpassed those great beings in the upper realm.
As the willow branch drew ever closer, Yun Canghai finally lost control of his fear and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Senior, I am Yun Canghai of the Celestial Race. I don't know where I have offended you. I beg you to show mercy!"
His voice was urgent, and carried a hint of fear and unease.
At this moment, he knew that if he were hit by this willow branch, he, who was only at the Venerable Realm, would probably collapse before he could last even a second.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he begged for mercy, the willow branch showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, it seemed to speed up even more.
As the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone someone who is the leader of a clan.
Seeing that the willow branches remained completely unmoved, Yun Canghai steeled his resolve, his divine power surging wildly within him, ready to fight to the death.
Even if it comes at a huge cost, even if everything he's doing now is futile, he doesn't want to sit idly by and wait for his doom.
But everything he did seemed so ridiculous in the face of that willow branch. There was no need for direct contact; just touching the faint light it emitted rendered everything Yun Canghai had done futile.
"No·········"
At this moment, Yun Canghai was utterly desperate, his eyes filled with nothing but death, as if he had already foreseen the moment he would be reduced to dust.
"No, Grandfather!"
But just then, a cry filled with anxiety and despair suddenly pierced the sky, interrupting the impending tragedy.
Suddenly, Yun Xi, who had been standing some distance away, rushed in front of Yun Canghai. She spread her arms wide, her eyes filled with determination, as if she wanted to use her frail body to shield her grandfather from this fatal blow.
"Yunxi, what are you doing! Go back right now!"
Looking at Yun Xi's resolute back in front of him, Yun Canghai was shocked. He never expected Yun Xi to do something so crazy, and his heart was filled with endless regret.
Why did you have to provoke that kid? He's capable of such an unprecedented feat, so how could he not have a powerful backer?
What angered and terrified Yun Canghai even more was that Yun Xi, who was usually the most obedient to him, seemed not to hear him at all. Her gaze was fixed on the willow branch that was about to fall, and she said resolutely and firmly, "Senior, Yun Xi is willing to exchange herself for my grandfather's life!"
Seeing Yun Xi, who stood in front of Yun Canghai without hesitation in the face of life and death, Shi An couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.
Although he had a general understanding of Yunxi's personality based on the information in the original work and his brief contact with her before, he still did not expect that Yunxi would step forward without hesitation at this critical moment, willing to exchange her own life for her grandfather's.
