Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 260 - 174: Hold the Line, Hold the Line, Hold the Line!!!
"Miss Su, my lady!"
Zhao Qiming, Qi Hao, and others were shocked!
Zhao Qiming, ignoring his injuries, pounced forward in an attempt to assist!
Su Wanqing was thrown back in mid-air, forcibly suppressing the turmoil of Qi Blood inside her and the stabbing pain of her soul. A rare trace of urgency and anger appeared on her extraordinarily beautiful face. She never forgot that it was Fang Qingyu who awakened them at the critical moment, giving them a chance to break through!
If not for Fang Qingyu...
"Kill it—!!"
A shout filled with endless rage and determination erupted from Su Wanqing’s mouth, penetrating the moaning of the Force Field Barrier and the roars of the flesh monster!
It was like the clash of gold and jade, resonating throughout the chaotic battlefield!
As if Heaven heard Su Wanqing’s anguished roar.
Just as the reverberation of those four words faded—
"Alright—!"
A simple word, yet as deep and resonant as a great bell, filled with a sense of power, resounded above everyone without any warning!
This word wasn’t "heard" but rather resonated directly within the depths of the soul!
Unbelievably clear! Incredibly loud!
It not only pierced through the shaking ground, the Force Field’s wails, and the roars of the flesh monster but also precisely spread across the entire vast pit area covered by the transparent Force Field!
Whether in the panicked camp outside the barrier or amid the fierce battle inside where Zhao Qiming was, Su Wanqing flung away, Qi Hao and Lv Chen glaring furiously, even among the crowd rushing to the evacuation point in panic and despair...
In this instant, everyone instinctively, almost reflexively, suddenly looked up!
Ignoring the shattering stone and dust, they frantically looked toward the source of the sound.
High above in the sky!
Amidst the dim sky background, a small yet unsettlingly intense figure was plummeting to the earth at unimaginable speed!
He was descending too fast!
So fast that his body violently frictioned and compressed with the thin atmosphere!
Bright orange-yellow flames suddenly enveloped his entire body!
Like a burning Meteor tearing through the atmosphere!
With a domineering momentum of burning and destroying everything, trailing a long fiery tail!
Boom——!!!!
An earsplitting explosion shattered through the sky’s clouds!
Accompanied by an explosive shockwave!
That "Meteor," with the most ferocious, unreasonable stance, carrying indescribable power, forcefully, precisely...
Smashed onto the terrifying crown of the flesh and bone-stacked monster!!
Right at the center, where the gigantic, chaotic Demon Eye emanated!!!
...
At the same time.
In the depth underground, in a dim corner isolated by heavy rock layers.
"Cough cough cough..."
Fang Qingyu struggled to press his back against the cold, damp rock wall. Every cough tore through his lungs with searing pain, bringing waves of dizziness.
Not far from him, Jiang Wei remained in a deep coma.
Her small body curled up, breathing weak but finally steady. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Some of the injuries had healed, though his internal organs felt like shredded cloth, Qi Blood circulation was excruciatingly sluggish, his left arm hung limp, but the Red Bright Tribulation Fire Scripture prevailed in the Perfection Realm. With forced operation, the residual Qi Blood flowed like a gentle stream, slowly mending those near-collapse wounds.
The space was narrow and oppressive, permeated with rock dust, the moist stench of underground water, and the heavy scent of blood emanating from him.
The weight of Jiang Wei on his back felt light.
But every slight movement was currently a massive burden.
Fang Qingyu painstakingly cleared the rubble blocking the passage.
For large debris he couldn’t move, he chipped away bit by bit with the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Break, piling the smaller debris behind.
Sometimes hunched over, trudging forward, sometimes crawling through cold muddy waters, or squeezing through tight rock crevices.
In the dark, only the faint sound of stones clashing and his own laborious breathing could be heard.
"Boom... crackling..."
The occasional tremors from above and the resulting falling rock fragments from the cavern ceiling furrowed Fang Qingyu’s brow, filled with helplessness.
The path below was harder than anticipated, tremors increased the risk of collapse.
Fortunately, persistence pays off.
After another laborious trek of nearly ten minutes.
There seemed to be... a truly faint yet steady light emerging from the tightly blocked dark space in front of him?!
Not the ghastly phosphorescent moss!
But a cooler, more natural glow!
Fang Qingyu’s spirit instantly surged!
His eyes lit up!
His utterly exhausted body seemed to gain a trace of strength again.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed forward with a burst of speed, clearing away the last rocks obstructing his view, and climbed, using both hands and feet, into the medium-sized, notably man-made, refashioned abandoned mine shaft.
The faint light came from an emergency miner’s lamp embedded in the stone wall. Its lampshade covered in dust, the dim yet steady light illuminated everything here.
Dust hovered silently in the light beam.
Yet, just as Fang Qingyu stepped into the space and his vision hadn’t yet adjusted to the light...
He abruptly froze!
Just a few steps ahead of Fang Qingyu, a figure stood quietly with their back turned to him, seemingly just arrived not long ago.
Sensing something, the figure slowly turned around...
A young, pale face with a hint of nonchalance yet exuding a sinister coldness appeared in Fang Qingyu’s suddenly constricted pupils!
Without a trace of expression, the eyes were cold like a serpent’s slit pupils.
He wore a tailored suit that appeared expensive but now was covered in rock dust, torn open in several places, looking tattered.
Their eyes met.
The air seemed to instantly freeze.
Jiang Wei remained unconscious on Fang Qingyu’s back.
In the silent space, only the faint "hiss" of the overloaded miner’s lamp’s current could be heard.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned incredibly eerie.
