Wang Bo, despite his immense strength and having reached the pinnacle of Celestial Being, found himself in a dire situation. Not only did he need to protect himself, but he also had to safeguard Zi Yi Gong. As he faced the late-stage Celestial Being Li Wujing and a horde of soldiers, he gradually felt overwhelmed.
While fighting and retreating, Wang Bo moved towards the direction of the Burial Ground. He understood that if he fell into enemy hands, Zi Yi Gong would be doomed to an irreversible fate. Therefore, he had to exert every ounce of his strength to ensure their escape.
However, Li Wujing had already discerned Wang Bo's intentions. Seizing the opportunity, he pulled out a talisman that shimmered with an eerie light from his robe. This was given to him by General Li Siyuan, instructing him to act when the moment was right. The talisman contained the power of a late-stage King’s full-force attack, enough to take Wang Bo's life!
"Wang Gonggong, today is your day of death!" Li Wujing laughed triumphantly before unleashing the talisman. A brilliant beam of light tore through the sky, hurtling towards Wang Bo with devastating force.
In this life-and-death moment, Wang Bo's gaze was resolute and fearless. He knew there was no retreat left; he could only fight with all his might! Thus, he summoned all his power to meet the radiant light head-on and handed Zi Yi a Teleportation Talisman along with a Burial Ground access token from Qin Wang, channeling his spiritual energy to teleport Ying Ziyi away.
On the desolate ancient road, Ying Ziyi appeared particularly fragile. Tears welled in her eyes as she called out to Wang Bo ahead with endless sorrow and determination. "Wang Bo," she cried out, her voice filled with grief.
Wang Bo, the loyal old minister, turned to look at Zi Yi with eyes full of resolve and reluctance. He shouted loudly, "Princess, cultivate well! One day, avenge Qin Wang!" With that declaration, it was as if the spiritual energy within him ignited; he pushed it to its limits. With a thunderous roar, Wang Bo self-destructed, unleashing a dazzling array of spiritual light that bought Ying Ziyi precious time to escape.
This scene was both tragic and heroic, instilling awe in everyone present. Yet Li Wujing seethed with rage; he understood the critical nature of this mission. Before coming here, the general had issued a death order: even if Ying Ziyi could not be captured, they must retrieve the Burial Soil Token. Failing to secure either would leave him unable to face the general upon his return.
"Chase them down! Alive or dead!" Li Wujing's voice was as cold as ice as he commanded his men to rush towards Ying Ziyi's direction. Leading the charge himself, he surged forward towards the Burial Ground.
He knew all too well that if Ying Ziyi managed to escape into the Burial Ground, their fate would be grim—he would not only suffer but also implicate his family. With this thought in mind, Li Wujing quickened his pace significantly!
Ahead of him, Ying Ziyi ran while crying; her hatred and sorrow intertwined into a driving force for her advance. She silently vowed: "I must survive! I will avenge my father and Wang Bo!"
Yet reality was cruel; she possessed only foundational-level strength and stood no chance against a Celestial Realm powerhouse—she was like an ant shaking a tree, utterly unaware of her limitations.
Before long, Li Wujing caught up with her; his figure moved like a specter, swiftly closing in on Ying Ziyi. Her heart raced as she realized she had reached a critical juncture between life and death.
But she refused to give up; she ran with all her might, hoping against hope to find a sliver of opportunity in this desperate situation.
