When they heard Megan used her Jade Fairy Flute, Darryl, Celine, and the others quickly covered their ears. Even so, they could feel their blood boil; they could barely breathe.
Clang!
Megan took that chance. She tiptoed gracefully before she lifted her hands and attacked Zhurong!
She was too quick. Zhurong was already injured, and under the influence of the flute notes, he could not even avoid it!
Bang!
The attack hit Zhurong’s shoulders violently. He let out a muffled grunt and stumbled a few steps backward. His face was pale, and he spat a mouthful of blood.
“Zhurong, you have nowhere else to go! Die!” Megan smiled viciously.
Zhurong did not respond to her. He took two steps backward and stood in front of Darryl and the others. He blocked any access to them with a face of determination.
No matter what, he had to rescue Darryl and the others!
“Brother Zhurong!”
Darryl was touched and worried at the same time. He yelled, “Don’t worry about us, just leave!”
Darryl knew that Megan and her people would not be able to stop Zhurong if he were to escape, even though he was heavily injured. However, Zhurong wanted to save all four of them. That would be much harder!
“No!” Zhurong gritted his teeth and shook his head. “I must take you all with me today.”
Darryl panicked. He yelled, “As long as we’re alive, there is still hope! Brother Zhurong, just go. If you still feel guilty, then take Lily with you. Nothing will happen to me!”
Darryl turned to look at Lily with tenderness in his eyes.
Even if Zhurong used all of his might, he could only take one person with him. Darryl, Celine, and Queenie were cultivators, so perhaps they could find a chance and escape. However, Lily did not have any internal energy. She was the weakest amongst them. If she were to remain there, she would not make it.
“Brother Darryl, I’m so sorry!” Zhurong clenched his fist. He finally gave in; he nodded and said, “Then, I’ll take Lily with me!”
Zhurong moved toward Lily swiftly and grabbed her hands.
