Chapter 1316: Is It Heating Up?

Upon hearing Lianyin's telepathic message, the Mermaid Clan cultivators did not hesitate in the slightest.

They scattered in all directions to break through the encirclement.

The Octopus Clan and Sea Giant cultivators naturally would not let them leave easily, their attacks becoming increasingly ruthless.

The intensity of the battle escalated another level instantly.

Seeing this, Lianyin took a deep breath.

She did not go to support those clansmen, because she knew very well that the most urgent priority was to block that Octopus Ancestor Phantom.

Otherwise, once Mingchen fell, the Octopus Ancestor Phantom would have no obstacles.

The situation for the Mermaid Clan would become even more dire.

Her gaze shifted, and she looked at Wang Jianqiang.

A flash of hesitation crossed her pretty face, "Brother Qiang, I must go and intercept that Octopus Ancestor Phantom."

"That Octopus Ancestor Phantom's strength is too great; it is too dangerous for you to keep following me."

"From here on, you should find your own opportunity to break through. If you truly cannot find an opening, ensure your own safety at all costs; I will find a way to bring you out later."

"If you encounter an emergency, do not have any reservations; just expose your strength directly. I will find a way to help you explain it to the clan."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, I will be fine. Just take care of yourself."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's confidence, the look of worry on Lianyin's face faded slightly.

She nodded and transformed into a streak of light, rushing out.

Boom!

Amidst another thunderous roar.

Mingchen spat out blood and was sent flying like a scarecrow, blood spraying from his mouth and scattering spots of gore along his path.

At this moment, the strength of the Octopus Ancestor Phantom far exceeded his own.

Facing this Octopus Ancestor Phantom, he was only fit to be ravaged, without the slightest power to fight back.

Having endured a mere few attacks, he was already severely wounded.

The Mermaid Prince steadied his figure and coughed up another large mouthful of blood.

His expression was filled with shame and anger.

In his life, everything had gone smoothly; when had he ever suffered such injury!

Whoosh~

Just at this moment, the sound of something piercing the air came again.

One of the Octopus Ancestor Phantom's tentacles lashed out toward Mingchen once more.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, a flash of madness appeared in Mingchen's eyes.

He directly burned his Bloodline Power.

Just as he prepared to rush up and fight to the death.

An invisible sound wave suddenly flew past his side, meeting that tentacle.

Boom~

Amidst a thunderous roar, that tentacle was knocked back.

The sound blade also dissipated accordingly.

Whoosh~

The next moment.

A figure passed Mingchen and rushed toward the Octopus Ancestor Phantom, and immediately after, a voice entered Mingchen's ears.

"I will hold it back."

"You retreat quickly and find a way to break through!"

"Lianyin!"

"It's Lianyin!"

"She came to save me!"

Looking at the figure that had suddenly appeared, Mingchen's expression was filled with excitement.

Not only did Lianyin take the initiative to speak to him, but she even disregarded the danger to come and help him block a powerful enemy!

Could it be...

That she already had feelings for him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Tianyu.

It was not in vain that he had lowered his status to actively curry favor with a lowly cultivator of the Black Scale Lineage.

This Tianyu really had a way with things.

In such a short time, she had actually caused Lianyin's attitude toward him to undergo such a massive transformation!

No~

He could not let Lianyin fall into danger alone just to help him.

He had to go and help Lianyin.

Even if it meant death.

He would die together with Lianyin.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and resolutely rushed out.

"Lianyin, I'm coming to help you!"

Lianyin did not know that her simple act of wanting to win more opportunities for her clansmen had already formed a tragic and moving love story in Mingchen's mind.

Seeing Mingchen follow along with a face full of resolve, her beautiful face could not help but darken.

What is this idiot doing?

"Get lost immediately, don't cause trouble for me."

She cursed inwardly, and her tone of voice was also very poor.

For her to escape on her own would be very easy.

But if that were to happen, the result would be...

Mingchen would be killed in battle in a short time, and the Bazhua phantom would begin slaughtering the other Mermaid Clan Cultivators...

By then, among the Mermaid Clan Cultivators present, aside from her, I fear not a single one would escape.

This is not what she wants to see.

That is why she risked coming forward to block the Bazhua phantom.

Moreover, there are Octopus Clan Cultivators constantly gathering all around.

The Bazhua phantom is continuously growing stronger.

The sooner the Mermaid Clan Cultivators finish escaping, the smaller her risk will be.

It is completely a race against time.

At this critical juncture, Mingchen should leave this battlefield as quickly as possible, use his own strength to disrupt the enemy's encirclement, and help his clansmen escape.

That is the most correct choice.

She did not expect that this idiot would not even be able to see such a simple problem.

Hearing Lianyin's scolding, Mingchen was stunned.

His heart was moved even more.

To stop him from continuing to take risks, Lianyin, this Mermaid Princess admired by so many and ethereal as an immortal, actually disregarded her image and cursed in public!

How much must she care about him?

He did not expect that although Lianyin looks so cold and detached, her heart is actually so fiery.

To be able to value him so much just after changing her opinion of him!

Thinking of this.

Mingchen's heart was already filled with being moved and excitement.

"Lianyin, I will not leave; even if it means death, I must die together with you!"

He looked at Lianyin with a face full of determination, his eyes revealing resolve.

Lianyin was bewildered, "What kind of nonsense is this idiot spouting?"

"Do not waste time here, break through immediately and help the other clansmen escape."

Upon hearing this, Mingchen's eyes instantly turned red.

To let him escape with peace of mind and not feel guilty, Lianyin even thought of the reason for him.

What kind of precious friendship is this?

He silently wiped away the tears in his eyes, and although he was unwilling in his heart, considering the safety of his clansmen, he still decided to follow Lianyin's wishes.

"Lianyin, after helping the clansmen successfully break through, I will definitely come back to find you."

"You must hold on!"

"If you fall, I will certainly not let you travel the path alone."

He gave Lianyin one look full of deep affection, his firm voice resounding in the space.

He resolutely turned and charged in another direction.

Lianyin was bewildered, unable to understand why this Mingchen had suddenly become so fired up.

However, at this moment, the attack from the Bazhua phantom had already descended.

She did not think too much and focused her attention.

All her energy was placed into the battle against the Bazhua phantom.
