Chapter 102: Save Ye Qing Le

As soon as Lou Mu Yan and the others landed on the ground, they brandished the Magic Tools in their hands, attacking in a frenzy, temporarily blocking the siege of the Fire Ant Colony in front of them.

The elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans immediately stepped back, taking turns to meditate and restore their Elemental Energy and physical strength. Those who had pills that replenished Elemental Energy would occasionally take one out to swallow reluctantly as if their flesh hurt from using one1.

Lan Si and the several instructors weren’t idle either. They quickly joined the battle. While waving his longsword, he asked the middle-aged man: “Where’re your Sword Monarch powerhouses?”

“Looking for the Queen Fire Ant. As long as we kill it, we can get out of this trouble. Now we can only bide our time.” The middle-aged man repelled a wave of Fire Ants and replied helplessly.

Lan Si nodded and quickly moved beside the middle-aged man to share his burden. The others also took the opportunity to regain their Elemental Energy and rest for a while.

Time passed bit by bit and the people on Lou Mu Yan’s side were consuming Elemental Energy enormously. Even if they took turns to kill with the elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans, it wouldn’t be enough to survive the endless waves of the Fire Ant Colony that surfaced from all directions.

“AH!!”

They simply couldn’t bear this kind of human-wave tactic, and many of the pupil’s Elemental Energy were gradually being hollowed out. From time to time, there would also be blood-curdling screams of those that were dragged into the Fire Ant Colony, then quickly drowned and gnawed away, leaving only a skeleton.

“Those that have pills, take it all out and eat. Saving them will only leave you a dead end.” After taking an Elemental Energy Enhancing Pill, the middle-aged man yelled towards the crowd.

The elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans watched their companions bury themselves among the Fire Ants and no longer felt pained about using pills. They took out their own to take, replenishing their Elemental Energy while continuing to battle.As for the people on Lou Mu Yan’s side, the speed of the natural recovery of Elemental Energy also couldn’t keep up with the speed of consuming it, so Yun Zi Mo took the lead and began to take out the pills on him to use.

In comparison, Xiao Zi Ang’s had the most Elemental Energy Enhancing Pills, so he threw a pill each to Lou Mu Yan and the others.

Because Lou Mu Yan had succeeded in establishing her foundation, the Spiritual Energy in her was even more abundant than an Initial-Phase Sword King. However, such a high-intensity battle also consumed nearly half of her Spiritual Energy, so the moment she caught Xiao Zi Ang’s pill, she sent it to her mouth.

Then she immediately furrowed her brows—the effect of this pill was a bit too poor. To think it’s a Grade 2 Pill—it was simply not at the same standard as the Spiritual Energy Replenishing Pill that she refined.

The efficacy of one Elemental Energy Enhancing Pill could only replenish one-fifth of the Elemental Energy. This speed couldn’t even keep up with the loss of Elemental Energy from fighting.

[SQUEAK!!]

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from underground, and accompanying the sound were more Fire Ants that dug through the ground. Although the amount in each wave was less than before, but their levels were far higher than the previous groups of ants. Most of them were Tier 3 or Tier 4, and there were even occasionally Tier 5 Fire Ants emerging.

“AH! ELDER BROTHER!”

Due to the chaotic battle against the Demonic Beasts, Lou Mu Yan had no chance to greet Ye Qing Han and the others. Now she heard a familiar voice not far away.

With a turn of her head, she saw that Ye Qing Le was besieged by more than a dozen Tier 4 Fire Ants, and her calf had been bitten by a Tier 5 Fire Ant that was more than half a metre long, which suddenly burrowed out from underground. The blood wasn’t stopping and the two Ye Clan pupils that were nearby were simply overwhelmed and couldn’t assist.

Meanwhile Ye Qing Han was surrounded by more than thirty Tier 4 Fire Ants and simply couldn’t break free. He could only frantically kill the Fire Ants that were constantly attacking with bloodshot eyes, desperate to hurry over.

But only after moving a little more than a metre, three Tier 5 Fire Ants suddenly emerged from the red earth before him, ground their sharp fangs and attacked him, deliberately blocking his way.

“Little sister!” Ye Qing Han dealt with the three Tier 5 Fire Ants while splitting his focus to pay attention to Ye Qing Le’s situation.

The other pupils and superiors of the Ye Clan were all entangled with Tier 4 and Tier 5 Fire Ants that were constantly emerging from underground. They could barely protect themselves, so they simply had no energy to break free from the obstacles and save her.

Seeing that the circle Magic Treasure in Ye Qing Le’s hand was knocked down by another Tier 5 Demonic Beast that appeared on her side, the surrounding Fire Ants quickly wanted to submerge and swallow her.

Ye Qing Han yelled and tried to free himself using all he had to save her, but there were simply too many Fire Ants. Just as he killed one, there would be another two more to besiege him. His Sword Aura was constantly being brandished, but his pace simply wasn’t fast enough.

His body trembled slightly, his heart palpitated fiercely, and his eyes were bloodshot, staring at Ye Qing Le being besieged by Fire Ants.

Ye Qing Le’s situation also attracted other people’s attention. After all, she was the treasured daughter of the Ye Clan’s Patriarch, and if something went wrong with her, no one could explain themselves.

But because everyone was entangled by multiple Fire Ants, no one was able to rescue her and could only watch her, with her pale face, being pushed to the ground by a few Tier 4 Fire Ants. Two Tier 5 Fire Ants swiftly stepped forward, ground the two ferocious fangs in their mouths, then one of them lowered its head, opened its mouth, and bit towards her head.

“LITTLE SISTER!” Ye Qing Han’s voice was desperate. Ignoring the besieging Fire Ants, he wanted to quickly rush over, but he was still dragged back by a few Tier 5 Fire Ants, and was even bitten on his back a few times.

Ye Qing Le’s face was pale and there was a touch of despair in her eyes. She didn’t expect that she would be buried in the mouths of these Fire Ants today. She fixedly looked in Ye Qing Han’s direction, her little face full of reluctance to go.

[PA!]

Just when everyone thought that Ye Qing Le was going to be eaten by the two Tier 5 Fire Ants, a ghost-like white figure suddenly flashed a few times and landed in front of Ye Qing Le. A beam of golden light flickered and the Tier 5 Fire Ant that was about to bite down on Ye Qing Le’s head was whipped more than three metres away.

Such a breathtaking scene made everyone feel slightly relieved. Only after the white figure landed were they surprised to discover that it was actually Lou Mu Yan.

“Elder Sister Mu Yan.” Ye Qing Le was already prepared to die, but she didn’t expect that Lou Mu Yan would arrive to save her. A layer of mist rose in her eyes as if she had found a backbone.

Lou Mu Yan hurriedly approached Ye Qing Le and pulled her back more than ten steps away to avoid the attack of the other Tier 5 Fire Ant behind her.

She furrowed her arched brows and looked at the many bite wounds on Ye Qing Le’s leg where blood flowed incessantly. She immediately took out a bottle of powdered medicine and scattered the powder on her wound, helped her up, then said, “Qing Le, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

“Yes, Elder Sister Mu Yan, be careful.” Ye Qing Le sniffed and forcefully held back the tears in her eyes. She couldn’t let Lou Mu Yan be distracted.

Seeing Lou Mu Yan suddenly come to save his younger sister like a female celestial, Ye Qing Han’s heart that was in despair gradually came back to life, and that white figure was also deeply imprinted in his heart.

[Snap! Snap!] The Tier 5 Fire Ant that was whipped away was completely angered now. A human woman with a cultivation base one tier lower than itself actually dared to treat it in such a way. It was unforgivable. It ground its fangs as it leapt towards Lou Mu Yan rapidly.

Seeing that it was robbed of its food, the Tier 5 Fire Ant that was about to bite Ye Qing Le from behind also became angry. With a roar, it besieged them again together with the encircling Tier 4 Fire Ants.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes grew cold, took out a white porcelain bottle and stuffed it in Ye Qing Le’s hands, “Quickly, take it all to restore your Elemental Energy.”

Then she waved the golden longwhip and greeted the dozen or so Fire Ants that had come up to encircle her. Her black eyes that were originally as bright as the stars now had a sliver of unbridled battle intent surface in them, mixed with endless icy coldness.

[PA! PA!]

The others watched as the whip in Lou Mu Yan’s hands were as if it had come to life, whipping away each Fire Ant that approached her and Ye Qing Le one by one. What was even more shocking and unexpected was that, as if it had grown eyes of its own, each whip would directly pierce through a Tier 4 Fire Ant’s head, wrap around the Crystal Core, and pull it right out.

In just a moment, the bodies of Tier 4 Fire Ants piled up all around her. The two Tier 5 Fire Ants already bore elementary intelligence, so seeing that she was so bold and powerful, they immediately stopped in their steps and made a few high, shrill cries towards the sky.

Then all one saw were the many Fire Ants, that besieged the others, turn and quickly crawl in Lou Mu Yan’s direction. Countless low-level Fire Ants also surfaced out of the ground to surround Lou Mu Yan and Ye Qing Le, narrowing the attack range bit by bit.

“Yan’er!”

“Mu Yan!”

Several anxious and panicked voices of men sounded around, but because of the influx of Fire Ants that encircled Lou Mu Yan and Ye Qing Le, even if the others wanted to turn around and help, it would be difficult to break though for a while.

At this time, there was only one thought in everyone’s mind—Lou Mu Yan was done for!
