Chapter 169 A Moment of Life and Death and a Mysterious Helper
Inside the stone house, the fire giant's mountain-like arm, wreathed in raging flames, crashed down upon Huanmo with overwhelming force. A wave of scorching heat swept over him, threatening to reduce everything to ashes instantly; the air was thick with suffocating heat and the acrid smell of sulfur. Huanmo felt an immense force gripping his sword, preventing him from breaking free, and a wave of despair washed over him: "Is this really the end?" But his eyes still shone with unwavering resilience. "No, I cannot die! They still need me!"
Seeing this, Wanru screamed in terror, "Huanmo!" Her heart filled with anxiety, she poured all her spiritual power into her jade flute without hesitation, unleashing an unprecedentedly powerful wind blade that slashed towards the fire giant's arm. "You monster, let Huanmo go!" Her eyes were filled with anxiety and anger, tears welling in them, but she knew she couldn't panic now; she had to find a way to save Huanmo.
Ling'er was also terrified, her face turning pale. She clutched the scroll tightly, crying out, "Brother Huanmo!" Then, she released all the remaining spiritual power from the scroll. Golden light shot towards the fire giant like a dazzling meteor, attempting to block its attack. Her small hands trembled slightly from the effort, her heart filled with fear and worry. "Brother Huanmo, you must be alright!"
The woman in white was equally anxious. Her fingers flew across the zither, the music becoming rapid and intense, and waves of spiritual energy surged towards the fire giant like a raging tide. "We can't let it succeed!" Her eyes were filled with determination and resolve, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, her whole being focused on stopping the fire giant's attack.
However, the fire giant's power was too great. Wanru's wind blades, Ling'er's golden light, and the white-clad woman's spiritual energy waves, while temporarily halting the fire giant's arm's descent, only slightly slowed its movement. The enormous arm, still carrying the power to destroy everything, continued to smash towards Huanmo.
In that life-or-death moment, a mysterious white light suddenly flashed from the corner of the stone house. Like a sharp blade, the light pierced through the fire giant's body, reaching its black core in its chest. Immediately afterward, a figure slowly emerged from the light—a mysterious person dressed in a white robe. His face was shrouded in light, obscuring his features, but he exuded a powerful yet peaceful aura.
The mysterious figure formed hand seals and chanted incantations. With his movements, the white light grew increasingly dazzling, tightly enveloping the black core on the fire giant's chest. The black core trembled violently, attempting to break free from the light's grasp, but to no avail. Under the suppression of the white light, the black core's power gradually weakened, and Huanmo finally felt the suction force on the sword disappear.
"Get out of the way, Huanmo!" the mysterious man shouted.
Huanmo snapped out of his daze and leaped backward, narrowly avoiding the flaming giant's descending arm. "Thank you for saving my life, senior!" Huanmo said, clasping his hands in gratitude to the mysterious man after regaining his balance. He was filled with both gratitude and astonishment at the man's appearance.
Wanru, Ling'er, and the woman in white also gathered around, watching the mysterious man warily, their hearts filled with doubt.
“You need not be afraid, I mean no harm,” the mysterious man said gently, his voice as soothing as a spring breeze. “This fire giant is formed from an evil resentment; if it is not stopped in time, it will bring even greater disaster.”
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
"Senior, what should we do now?" Huanmo asked anxiously.
The mysterious man looked at the fire giant with a solemn expression and said, "Although I have temporarily suppressed its core, this is not a long-term solution. We need to find a powerful and pure force to completely purify this evil resentment in order to truly destroy it."
Just then, the fire giant seemed to sense the danger. It struggled frantically, and the flames on its body became even more intense, trying to break free from the restraints of the white light.
"Everyone be careful, it's about to fight back!" the mysterious man shouted a warning.
In this critical moment of the fire giant's frenzied rebellion, can the group, with the help of the mysterious figure, find the power to purify the evil resentment and completely destroy the fire giant? Who exactly is this mysterious figure, and why is he here? Can they successfully escape this terrible predicament and uncover the secrets of the stone house? Everything is fraught with unknowns and uncertainties; the fates of the group are once again tightly intertwined, and even more severe trials await them…
