Chapter 3786
Bang!
Murong Haoyin kicked the ground with his right foot and shot forward like a bird. His speed was so fast that the air around him was blasted away.
In the blink of an eye Murong Haoyin was right in front of Dongfang Xiong. The greatsword in his hand swung down with enough force to split the sea.
Dongfang Xiong produced a pair of iron gauntlets and donned them. His hands were like weapons as he swung them forward.
In an instant the two of them were locked in a fierce battle. The shockwaves of their battle swept through the Sinkhole.
Dawn quietly walked over to Lu Miaozhen's side.
"I won't let you hurt my granddaughter!"
Master Lu fought back his fear and stepped in front of Lu Miaozhen.
"Grandpa, don't worry about me. Get out of here!"
Lu Miaozhen panicked. She knew these three wanted to capture her alive so they wouldn't kill her right away.
But Pharmacist Lu was different. He was a mere mortal, with no value. Dawn wouldn't hesitate to make a move on him.
"Old man, you're just a mortal. How dare you stand in my way!
Get out of here! "
Dawn snorted and waved her hand. Pharmacist Lu screamed as his body was ripped open. He fell to the ground, twitching and spasming.
That one move had severely injured him, and he was on the verge of death.
"Grandpa!
You'll die a horrible death! My grandpa is just a mortal, why did you have to kill him! "Lu Miaozhen cried.
"What does a mortal's life have to do with me?
If I want to kill, I'll kill. Do you have any pity for an ant?
That's ridiculous! "
Dawn sneered. She walked over to Lu Miaozhen and reached out with her right hand to pick her up.
However, her expression immediately changed because her right leg was caught by a hand. Moreover, it was a hand covered in blood.
Dawn looked down and saw Master Lu crawling toward her, covered in blood. His right hand had a death grip on Dawn's foot.
"Grandpa, no! Let go!
She'll kill you! "Lu Miaozhen cried and begged.
Master Lu slowly lifted his head and looked at Lu Miaozhen as if he wanted to see her one last time.
"Miaozhen, your grandpa is useless.
Every time you met with danger, I was unable to protect you. How could someone like me be qualified to be your grandfather? "Alchemist Lu bitterly smiled.
"Damned mortal, how dare you touch my feet with your dirty hands. I'm going to kill you!"
Dawn was so angry that her whole body shook. She lifted her foot and sent the Pharmacist flying through the air like a doll.
Then Dawn lashed out with her foot. She didn't hold back, she used the power of a Void-god Transformation.
To a mortal like Apothecary Lu, this power was simply too vast. If he were to be kicked, Apothecary Lu would be reduced to ashes.
"No … Don't!"
Lu Miaozhen let out a mournful cry. Her voice pierced through the clouds and filled the surroundings of the sinkhole.
The moment this cry was heard, the small pit filled with purple energy in the sinkhole exploded with a loud bang.
A vast and powerful purple ripple spread out in all directions like water waves.
This purple ripple was too powerful. Wherever it passed, it caused the entire sinkhole to shake violently. Even space seemed to distort.
Murong Haoyin and Dongfang Xiong, who were fighting, were the first to be affected by the purple ripples. They immediately stopped and resisted the purple ripples with great difficulty. They kept retreating until they were outside the range of the sinkhole.
Dawn, who had been about to deliver a final kick to Apothecary Lu, also felt the terrible purple ripple. She pulled back her foot, picked up Lu Miaozhen, and fled the sinkhole.
Only the dying Apothecary Lu remained. He lay silently on the ground.
"No … you have to get my grandpa out of there, too. He'll die if he stays there!"
Lu Miaozhen wailed and struggled to call out to Dawn.
Unfortunately, Dawn didn't pay any attention to Lu Miaozhen's cries.
Her voice was cold as ice. "You're nothing but an ant. If you die, you die!
You should be glad you have your spiritual water root. You're still useful, otherwise you wouldn't be alive right now! "
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the purple ripples had completely filled the sinkhole, and in the sinkhole, there were continuous explosions.
The purple energy was like a cloud of smoke. It filled the sinkhole, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
Dongfang Xiong and Murong Haoyin had stopped fighting long ago. They came to Dawn's side and watched with solemn eyes.
"What's going on?
The sinkhole is exploding all of a sudden. And the energy is a little scary! "
Murong Haoyin looked down at the sinkhole and muttered to himself.
"Eh?
Look, there's a figure in the sinkhole! "Dongfang Xiong suddenly exclaimed.
Dawn and Murong Haoyin couldn't help but look over. Indeed, there was a figure in the center of the sinkhole.
What's more, it wasn't affected by the purple ripple. Step by step, it walked toward the edge of the sinkhole.
Dawn's eyes were full of confusion. As far as she was concerned, the only person in the sinkhole was the mortal.
However, in that powerful explosion, even she could have lost her life, let alone a mere mortal.
What's more, Dawn was keenly aware that the figure was different from Pharmacist Lu. It was clearly someone else.
"This guy … he looks familiar!
Is he … is he Zhuowen? "
Murong Haoyin narrowed his eyes. When the purple ripple began to fade he was able to see the figure's face. He recognized him. Wasn't this the man he'd been looking for, Zhuowen?
They had already learned about Zhuo Wen's appearance and aura from the news sent by Elder Yingyan and Nangong Haoge. That was why they were able to recognize him instantly after seeing him.
Zhuowen's body was surrounded by purple ripples. Step by step he walked toward the edge of the sinkhole.
Soon he came to a stop beside Pharmacist Lu. Then he slowly knelt down.
"You … you're Zhuowen … Zhuowen, the Ascension School is in danger. You … you have to run!"
Pharmacist Lu was on his deathbed. His aura was growing weaker.
Zhuowen silently grasped Pharmacist Lu's right hand. He poured his divine power into the man's body, but it was useless.
Alchemist Lu's life force had already been damaged, and there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation.
The only reason he'd been able to hold on until now was because of his indomitable will.
"Pharmacist Lu, tell me, who did this to you?"
Zhuowen spoke slowly. His voice was calm, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Pharmacist Lu shook his head. "Zhuowen, my death is not to be regretted. But there is one thing I have to ask of you!
Please … please save my granddaughter Lu Miaozhen. Don't let her fall into the hands of the Houses. If she does, her fate will be miserable … I beg you … I beg you … "
Pharmacist Lu's grip on Zhuowen's hand suddenly loosened. It fell to the ground.
Zhuo Wen silently looked at the old man in front of him. At this moment, his eyes began to turn red.
In his last moments, Pharmacist Lu didn't care about his own life. He cared about his granddaughter Lu Miaozhen.
It was a love that went beyond life and death.
