Yin Liangchen opened his eyes, and Yun Zhi Yue immediately said, "I'm helping you merge the Crystal Core. You need to give it your all; whether we can break through depends entirely on you!"
His pale lips tightened as he glanced at the masked man under siege. With a slight squint, Yin Liangchen focused all his energy into activating his Ability. Having been saved once, he felt he should at least contribute something.
This was Tu Long's territory; just because the people inside couldn't escape didn't mean outsiders couldn't enter.
Seeing the situation deteriorate, someone had already entered with a machine gun, aiming at Ye Zhi and opening fire.
With such dense gunfire, it was impossible to avoid all the bullets. Some penetrated the earthen walls and struck bodies, yet no blood was shed.
Everyone stared in shock at Ye Zhi, who had been hit but appeared unscathed.
Tu Long's expression changed: "He’s a Zombie, just like that Ice one—highly lethal! Move quickly!"
The previous Eighth Level Ice had lost its combat ability only after half of its body was blown apart.
At that moment, no one expected Yin Liangchen, who had been captured by them, to suddenly speak up: "Give me the Crystal Core. I swear I will help you take revenge for you and your daughter."
Realizing he was at a dead end, the Ice Zombie summoned its last ounce of strength to kill the human restraining Yin Liangchen. It dug out its own Crystal Core and stuffed it into Yin Liangchen's mouth.
In the end, it left him with just two words: Revenge.
Humans couldn’t absorb Crystal Cores like Zombies could by devouring them, so despite being gravely injured, Yin Liangchen still fell into Tu Long's hands. However, it was precisely because of this Crystal Core that he was alive, waiting for Yun Zhi Yue.
Seeing that Ye Zhi was about to collapse, Yun Zhi Yue panicked and quickly signaled to Ye Yao.
Under Ye Zhi’s cover, Ye Yao rushed over and together with Yun Zhi Yue, they supported Yin Liangchen and began moving him toward the exit.
Ye Zhi not only had to protect them but also bear his weapon and attack with his Ability—it was truly a struggle.
His Ability was already showing signs of fatigue; Ye Yao's small face was filled with worry as she considered letting go of Yin Liangchen to rush forward.
Yun Zhi Yue reached out but then hesitated; after all, he was her brother. She felt she had no real reason to stop him.
Frustrated, she thought about how she was bound to the World Will; this Dimension imposed too many restrictions on her actions, and the cost of intervening was too great.
Yin Liangchen's Crystal Core still needed time to merge. Given the current situation, by the time he finished, they would all be reduced to rubble.
Realizing that she and Ye Zhi were in cahoots, Tu Long became furious. He abandoned his attack on Ye Zhi and charged toward her with a sinister grin.
Yun Zhi Yue thought to herself: "What an ugly man; it's painful to look at."
Living people couldn’t really let themselves be suffocated; weak black smoke swirled around her fingers.
【Are you getting bolder? Go ahead and try it; let’s see who will bear the consequences for you—Shi Ye won’t help you!】
She glanced into the distance, and the black smoke in Yun Zhi Yue's hand dissipated, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Don't provoke me, tsk tsk. Little Stone, I advise you to treat me well, or you might find yourself in trouble later," she warned.
The Reincarnation Stone sensed someone approaching, causing a pang of anxiety. The underworld was dark enough, but it felt even gloomier in comparison to the stone.
Lightning flashed swiftly; before Tu Long could reach Yun Zhi Yue, it had already surrounded her.
Tu Long was perceptive enough to realize the situation was dire and turned to flee.
Shen Xingchuan's focus was not on anyone else; his eyes reflected the purple lightning, and all he saw was her.
A weary man, treading on thunder and lightning, cleared all obstacles that approached her. His audacity and fearless demeanor made Yun Zhi Yue's smile widen; it was truly charming.
Yin Liangchen, supported by Yun Zhi Yue, opened his eyes for a moment before closing them again, bitterness filling his mouth—nothing could compare.
His body was tossed aside, crashing heavily onto the ground without any reaction.
Yun Zhi Yue had been pulled into Shen Xingchuan's embrace, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones.
