Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 248 Desperate Counterattack.

The footsteps were like the urgent, relentless beat of a death knell, each strike louder and heavier than the last, like the merciless knocking of fate, drawing ever closer, piercing the depths of everyone's hearts, intensifying the tense atmosphere to its extreme, like a sturdy bowstring stretched to its limit, on the verge of snapping with a "bang" at any moment. Jun Luochuan stared intently at the mysterious passage ahead, dark and deep, like an endless black hole, seemingly capable of mercilessly swallowing everything. His palms were slightly sweaty, the sweat glistening like tiny, translucent pearls, shimmering with a worrying light in his hands.

Su Yao's voice trembled, like a frail autumn leaf swaying helplessly and shivering in the bleak wind, "Could it be another terrifying monster?" Her eyes, filled with fear and unease, resembled those of a frightened little rabbit, brimming with panic and helplessness, evoking pity in one's heart.

Lin Feng swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he were swallowing a bitter resolve. "Whatever, I'll kill them one by one!" His words were powerful and resolute, like a sharp sword just drawn from its sheath, gleaming with a cold light, exuding a resolute determination and fearless courage to face death.

Ye Lan gently tugged at Su Yao's hand, the movement as soft as a spring breeze caressing tender green willow branches, carrying comfort and solace. "Don't be afraid." Her voice was gentle yet firm, like a warm, ever-burning lamp in the darkness, bringing a faint but precious warmth and comfort to Su Yao's nearly collapsing heart, calming her trembling body slightly.

At that moment, a figure emerged slowly from the darkness like a ghost, descending silently. Everyone's nerves instantly tightened to their limit, as if facing a life-or-death enemy. Every cell in their bodies went into high alert, tensely preparing to meet the unknown challenge and the possible fierce battle. However, when they finally saw the newcomer's face, they were astonished to find that he was an elderly man, heavily wounded, his breath so weak it seemed like a candle flickering in the wind, as if he might be extinguished at any moment.

The old man gasped for breath, each breath seeming like the last struggle of his life. His panting sounded like the strained groan of a broken bellows. "Save me..." His hoarse and weak voice seemed to come from the depths of the distant void, carrying endless pain and pleading.

Jun Luochuan frowned, his brows like two tightly intertwined, heavy ropes. "Who are you? How did you get here?" His wary and suspicious gaze was sharp and profound, as if he were examining a mysterious and unpredictable treasure, trying to find a clue from the old man.

The old man struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with deep fear and despair, as if he had just experienced a horrific and terrifying nightmare. "I was chased here by evil people who coveted the magical treasures on my body and wanted to take them for themselves."

A fleeting doubt flashed in Jun Luochuan's eyes, like a shooting star in the night sky, brief yet extremely noticeable. But he still decided to help the poor old man heal his wounds first.

During the healing process, Jun Luochuan, with his keen senses like that of a hawk, suddenly discovered that the magical artifact on the old man's body was emitting an extremely unusual, mysterious, and powerful aura.

"This magical artifact seems to conceal a tremendous, unfathomable, mysterious power," Jun Luochuan thought to himself, his complex, intricate mind racing as he pondered the various mysteries that might be hidden within it.

However, at this moment, the old man, who had seemed extremely weak and on the verge of death, suddenly awoke like a sleeping ferocious lion. Without warning, he launched a deadly attack on Jun Luochuan with lightning speed and fierce wind.

"Watch out!" Lin Feng and Ye Lan shouted in alarm almost simultaneously. Their sharp, alarm-like voices shattered the brief calm, echoing through the passage and shaking the very soul.

Jun Luochuan reacted with lightning speed, like a ghost. His figure flashed, like a wisp of smoke drifting in the wind, and he dodged the sudden fatal blow with astonishing speed. His movements were so fast that they were like a phantom, leaving the audience breathless.

"So you were faking it!" Jun Luochuan roared, his voice like thunderous fury, filled with boundless anger and inviolable majesty, as if it could shake the dark space.

The old man's face revealed a hideous, twisted smile, a smile like a terrifying demon mask, sending chills down one's spine. "Now that you've discovered us, none of you will leave here alive!"

Without hesitation, the old man unleashed a powerful and terrifying spell. The entire passage was instantly enveloped in a dazzling light that was impossible to look directly at. The light was like the core of a sun, so hot it could melt everything, carrying a terrifying power capable of destroying everything.

Jun Luochuan and the others were fearless, their eyes burning with a steadfast and unwavering flame, and they unleashed their most powerful and secret techniques without hesitation.

Jun Luochuan, with his strategic brilliance, was like an invincible general commanding thousands of troops, calmly and decisively directing his men: "Lin Feng, attack swiftly from the left like a whirlwind, giving the enemy no chance to breathe! Ye Lan, focus on defense, like an unbreakable shield, firmly guard our position! Su Yao, wait for the opportune moment, find the enemy's weakness, and deliver a fatal blow!"

The group worked together seamlessly, like a tightly and precisely operating, flawless machine, engaging the old man in a fierce and thrilling life-or-death battle that was as intense as sparks flying.

The old man gradually lost his strength and was at a disadvantage. His face became increasingly ferocious and terrifying, like a raging beast that had gone mad and lost its mind.

"I will not let you succeed!" the old man roared hoarsely, his voice seemingly piercing the heavens and shattering the sky, filled with endless despair and resentment.

Suddenly, he made an extremely crazy and unexpected move, resolutely detonating the mysterious and powerful magic weapon on his body.

A terrifying force, as powerful as an apocalyptic storm and capable of destroying the world, suddenly erupted, causing the entire passage to collapse violently. Stones fell like meteors, as if the end of the world had suddenly arrived, leaving no place to escape.

"Run!" Jun Luochuan shouted hoarsely. His voice was like a loud, inspiring battle horn, guiding everyone in the direction of escape amidst the chaotic apocalyptic scene.

In this chaotic, apocalyptic scene, everyone was like frightened birds, frantically trying to escape, their feet barely touching the ground, wishing they could sprout wings and flee this land of death.

Just when they thought they were about to be buried forever in this endless ruins and their lives were about to end, Jun Luochuan, with his extraordinary keen insight, miraculously discovered a mysterious exit hidden in a dark corner, which was extremely difficult to detect, at this critical moment.

"Follow me!" Jun Luochuan shouted, his voice filled with hope and unwavering strength, like a ray of dawn in the darkness.

They ran frantically on the edge of life and death, finally escaping the collapsing passage and arriving at a mysterious, secluded valley filled with unknown dangers.

Thick, cotton-like fog filled the valley, seemingly alive, completely enveloping everything and making one feel as if in a dreamlike world, full of unknown dangers and uncertainties.

"Where is this again?" Su Yao asked, her voice filled with confusion and unease, like a lamb lost in a thick fog.

Jun Luochuan's gaze was sharp as lightning, like a keen eagle, not missing a single subtle change or suspicious sign in the thick fog. "Be careful," he said in a low and serious voice, as if warning everyone that the slightest carelessness could plunge them into an abyss of no return.

They moved cautiously and slowly through the mysterious valley, each step filled with vigilance and caution, as if walking on a tightrope...

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, bringing a chill.

"This wind is strange," Lin Feng said.

Jun Luochuan stopped and carefully sensed the changes around him.

Su Yao followed closely behind the group, not daring to relax for a moment.

Ye Lan looked around warily. "Everyone, be careful."

Just then, a deep roar came from within the thick fog...
