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

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.
