Chapter 117 The Mysterious Guardian.
Jun Luochuan and Su Yao struggled desperately in that hellish trap, their strength and will nearly exhausted by the endless torment. Just as they were about to sink into the dark abyss like drowning people, almost swallowed up by exhaustion and despair, a mysterious figure appeared silently before them like a ghost.
The figure was shrouded in a hazy, dreamlike light, as if gently veiled by a thin gauze, making it difficult to discern its true face. However, the powerful aura emanating from that figure was like a mountain pressing down, causing the entire space to freeze instantly, and time to stand still.
Jun Luochuan's heart tightened suddenly, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Instinctively, he shielded Su Yao behind him, his action decisive and resolute, like a mother hen protecting her chicks. His eyes were fixed warily on this mysterious figure, his gaze piercing as if trying to penetrate the hazy light and see its true face.
"Who goes there?" Jun Luochuan's voice was deep and powerful, like muffled thunder echoing in the valley, full of vigilance and alertness.
The mysterious figure did not answer immediately, but slowly took a step forward. The step seemed as light as a feather, yet it seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds. Each step was like a heavy hammer striking the ground, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.
Su Yao peeked out curiously from behind Jun Luochuan, her big eyes blinking like twinkling stars. She boldly sized up the mysterious man, muttering to herself, "This guy looks really powerful, like a war god who came out of ancient times."
Jun Luochuan glared at her fiercely, his gaze like a sharp lightning bolt, signaling her not to speak recklessly.
The mysterious figure finally spoke, its voice booming like a great bell, echoing loudly in the small, oppressive space, making everyone's eardrums buzz. "You ignorant fools, how dare you trespass into this forbidden area! Your crimes are unforgivable!"
Jun Luochuan frowned deeply, his brows furrowing like two deep ravines. "We are only pursuing the truth hidden in the darkness, and have no intention of offending this mysterious realm." His tone was firm and sincere, trying to quell the other party's anger.
"Hmph, excuses! There are countless excuses in this world, but they are all useless to me!" The mysterious figure sneered, its voice as cold and piercing as the winter wind. "The secrets here are taboos of heaven and earth, not something you mortals can know."
As he spoke, the mysterious figure slowly raised his hand. That hand was like a piece of white jade, yet it contained a world-destroying power. In an instant, an incredibly powerful force surged forth like a raging tsunami, filling the entire space as if to crush everything in its path.
Jun Luochuan felt the immense pressure of this force and was secretly alarmed, like a small boat in a raging storm.
"Watch out!" he shouted to Su Yao, his voice filled with urgency and worry.
Su Yao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly hid behind Jun Luochuan like a startled rabbit, tightly gripping the hem of his clothes with both hands.
Jun Luochuan gritted his teeth, the muscles in his cheeks tensing as hard as steel. He secretly mustered all his strength, preparing to meet the impending powerful attack, his eyes revealing a resolute determination to die for his cause.
However, just as that force was about to strike them like a ferocious beast, the mysterious figure suddenly withdrew, and the force receded instantly like a tide.
"Out of your ignorance and confusion, I will give you one chance. Leave this place immediately and never set foot here again!" the mysterious figure said, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible pity.
Jun Luochuan remained unmoved. He straightened his spine, standing firm like a mountain. "We will never leave until we find the answers we seek and unravel the mysteries in our hearts. Even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, we will not hesitate!" His voice was as firm as iron, resounding with unwavering conviction.
The mysterious figure seemed to be enraged by Jun Luochuan's resolute attitude, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"
Having said that, it launched another attack, this time with even greater force than before, like a raging hurricane, threatening to engulf them completely...
