As long as the spiritual connection between the seawater and the chain is broken, the binding force of the chain will be greatly weakened, or even become completely ineffective.
He took a deep breath, gathered all the remaining water power in his body into his dantian, then exploded it in an instant.
Blue light burst out from his body, like small mines exploding in the water. The powerful impact spread outwards, causing the light blue chains binding him to loosen slightly for a moment.
This was his last strength, and his only chance.
Lan Yuan took advantage of that moment of weakness, exerted his strength, broke free from the chain on his right hand, then pushed with all his might towards the Inner Current. A powerful jet of water shot out from his palm, pushing the Deep Current back into the circular hole.
“Go back! Go back right now! Tell the leader that Shen Tianhai has set a trap and he shouldn’t come here to die!”
Shenliu’s body fell into the crack and disappeared into the darkness. He didn’t even have time to say a word, only leaving behind a gaze filled with hatred and worry.
Before Lan Yuan had time to confirm his safety, three new chains had wrapped around his body again, tighter and stronger than before.
He was rooted to the spot, so tightly that he could barely breathe, and his spiritual energy was draining at an increasingly rapid rate.
The three elders in the square moved at the same time.
They exchanged glances, a cold glint flashing in their eyes. Golden divine light condensed in their hands, turning into three sharp golden blades, each emitting a powerful killing intent as they slashed towards Lan Yuan.
Their goal was clear—to capture Lan Yuan alive, but they had to first cripple his fighting ability, rendering him completely incapable of fighting back.
Lan Yuan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with despair.
He knew that he was no match for the attacks of three second-rank Great Luo Golden Immortals. This time, he was truly doomed; not only did he fail to save Lan Tide, but he also lost his own life.
His only regret was that he couldn’t tell Shui Wuhen about Shen Tianhai’s conspiracy and couldn’t protect Lan Tide.
Just when the three golden blades were about to attack him, less than a foot away from his body
Gray light, like an invisible wall, suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the three golden light blades in the air.
With three sharp clanks, the light blade struck the gray light, producing a series of muffled explosions. Gold shards splattered and flew everywhere, like broken pieces of golden glass, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
All eyes turned towards the direction the gray light appeared, including Shen Tianhai on the high platform. His brows were furrowed sharply, and a sharp cold glint radiated from his golden eyes.
His heart was filled with doubt and wariness: Who are they? How could they possibly withstand the combined attacks of three second-rank Great Luo Golden Immortals? This power felt very familiar.
Under a sacred tree at the edge of the square, stood a figure wearing a gray robe.
He was tall and handsome, with a cold glint in his purple eyes. His aura was calm and controlled, yet carried an extremely ancient and pure power.
He slightly raised his right hand, a streak of gray light still lingering on his fingertips. It was this beam of light that blocked the attacks of the three elders.
David.
David stood at the edge of the shadow of the spirit tree, his gray robe swaying gently in the night breeze, and a gray beam of light still clung to his fingertips.
The light was as thin as hair, like a silver thread moving in the dark night, flickering along with his breath.
His gaze swept across the three elders and fell on Shen Tianhai on the high platform. His purple eyes were completely calm, like a deep and calm body of water.
Shen Tianhai’s brows furrowed even more.
He recognized the young man—the one who had helped Lan squeeze through the crowd earlier, trying to use his gray power to help him fight the law’s oppression.
He clearly remembered that he had only waved his hand to dispel the gray light, but now it seemed that the young man’s strength was much greater than he had shown back then.
It was no coincidence that he was able to withstand the combined attacks of three second-rank Great Luo Golden Immortals.
He had already warned the man not to interfere, but he never expected that the man would not only not want to leave, but would also dare to interfere and ruin his plans at such a crucial moment.
