I turned and asked the old woman in the distance, "Do you know how to suppress the Worm King without harming my friend?"
"There’s nothing we can do..." she replied loudly. "Right now, other than praying for him, there’s truly no other way!"
Upon hearing this, I made a silent vow, thinking, "If Yao Long loses his sanity and gets consumed by the Worm King, I will regret it for the rest of my life. There must be a way to help Yao Long regain his senses..."
As I pondered, I noticed that Yao Long had already drawn the Azure Spirit, aiming it in my direction. Three red arrows wrapped in a blue light were poised and ready to be released.
At that moment, my own strength was nearly depleted. Engaging the Worm King head-on was not an option. With a plan forming in my mind, I shouted to the old woman in the distance, "Do you have any way to restrict the Worm King's movements?"
The old woman heard my voice but did not respond immediately. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Yes! But it can only hold him for a short time."
"That’s enough!" I shouted back. My legs bent slightly as I gathered my strength and leaped to a height parallel with Yao Long. In mid-air, I raised my Jiang Ling and swung it toward Yao Long, unleashing a Slash Mark. I didn’t channel too much power into this strike; my intention was merely to compel Yao Long to release his arrows.
A somewhat dim black Slash Mark flew straight toward Yao Long under the fading light of the setting sun. Yao Long showed no intention of dodging. With a whoosh, three arrows shot toward my Slash Mark.
At the moment the arrows collided with my Slash Mark, it shattered instantly under their force and came flying straight at me.
Seeing this, I smiled slightly and murmured to myself, "This is what I've been waiting for..." Instead of dodging, I closed my eyes and emptied all the power of the Void Spirit within me.
In an instant, I felt the tremendous force of the three arrows piercing into my body simultaneously. I let out a muffled groan as my balance was lost and I was thrown backward.
Just then, I suddenly opened my eyes wide, furrowing my brow as I absorbed all the blue Void Spirit energy attached to the arrows. In that moment, I felt my strength beginning to recover.
"What’s the point of doing this? His power isn’t strong; even if you absorb it, you won’t regain much strength. Moreover, his arrows are infused with your own blood—you're still going to get hurt!"
Hearing the voice of Void Spirit, I smiled slightly and said, "That's enough..." Then, I shouted towards the stunned Old Woman in the distance, "Old Woman, hurry, use this chance to immobilize him!"
At that moment, the Old Woman finally snapped back to reality. She quickly took something out from her bosom and hurled it towards Yao Long.
I thought to myself, "As long as Yao Long is controlled by the Old Woman, I can try to wake him up despite my injuries..." But my thoughts were immediately sensed by Void Spirit, who erupted in fury and shouted, "You fool! Can't you see?! He has completely lost his sanity! Using this method is just asking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I saw that the small object thrown by the Old Woman began to grow larger in the wind. Over time, it had already swelled to the size of a fist and continued to expand.
As it grew bigger, I gradually realized that it was a round-bellied flying insect heading straight for Yao Long, getting closer by the second.
Just as the insect was about to make contact with Yao Long's body, he seemed to sense something. With a swift motion of his hand, there was a sharp crack as he shattered the insect that had flown right in front of him.
Seeing this, I cursed under my breath; it seemed that even though Yao Long's consciousness was occupied by Worm King, his keen insight still remained. Thinking this, I decided to have the Old Woman try again while preparing myself to counter Yao Long's attack.
But at that moment, the shattered insect exploded into a mass of white goo. In an instant, that goo transformed into a large net that ensnared Yao Long completely.
Now, Worm King within Yao Long became even angrier. He struggled relentlessly to break free. However, the white gooey net was as tough as a spider's web; no matter how hard he fought against it, it was futile. Seeing this, I couldn't afford to hesitate any longer and rushed towards Yao Long.
Getting close, I grabbed both of Yao Long's arms and said, "Yao Long, wake up! It's me, Shen Xu!" At that moment, I felt his body was ice-cold. It seemed like Yao Long had completely turned into a cold-blooded insect before me. He kept roaring at me with chilling cries.
"Yao Long, I know you can hear me; don't give up..." Before I could finish my sentence, suddenly a brilliant blue flame erupted from Yao Long's body, enveloping him completely. At the same time, there was a loud bang as a powerful force exploded from within him. The sheer force caught me off guard and sent me flying dozens of meters away.
"Stop making meaningless sacrifices; it's useless! If you insist on waking him up now, we will only have one way left—death!" Void Spirit urged anxiously.
But I remained undeterred. Standing my ground, I watched as Yao Long went berserk. Blue flames radiated from his body as they gradually consumed the white net.
“Yao Long, have you forgotten about Death Apostle?! He is your benefactor! If you are gone, who will protect him?!” I shouted at him.
As soon as the words left my mouth, I noticed that Yao Long reacted when he heard the name Death Apostle. He froze for a moment, but quickly returned to his frenzied state.
At that moment, I saw him use the flames surrounding him to burn through the white net completely. Then he raised the Azure Spirit in his hand and aimed it at the sky, shooting fiercely.
In an instant, a barrage of azure arrows rained down from above, cascading towards me like a storm.
At this point, there was no way to evade. If I were hit by such a dense rain of arrows, it would surely mean my end.
Looking up at the blue arrows falling like a sudden downpour, I desperately shouted one last thing to Yao Long: “Yao Long, didn’t you once say that if Death Apostle dies, then your life would be meaningless?! If you have become this way, what do you think Death Apostle would feel?!”
With that, I silently closed my eyes and quietly awaited the arrival of death…
