Chapter 113 Fear
Word Spirit Lord Flame.
In fact, it's more like a fireball spell in the conventional sense than the flames it releases.
It's not a flame, but more like an explosion.
A huge fireball suddenly formed above their heads, like a napalm bomb forcibly fixed in mid-air.
If Lu Mingfei were present, he would definitely say that this Junyan is better than a single fire meteor.
The flames did not spread in all directions, but rose straight up, surging upwards, bringing an overwhelming heat wave to meet the falling rain of arrows.
"boom!!!"
Flames and arrows clashed head-on.
The wooden arrow shaft carbonized and broke instantly, while the iron arrowhead was scorched red and deformed, and was blown away by the airflow before it could even penetrate the flames.
The shockwave from the exploding fireball completely tore apart the rain curtain, and the firelight covered the mountain road as if it had been illuminated by daylight.
It was even better than the fire at Yiling.
Fang Meng subconsciously raised his hand to shield himself.
The heat wave brushed past her skin, instantly drying her body and clothes, precisely controlling it just outside a dangerous but not fatal boundary.
I don't know if it was already in the calculation of zero or if its power is just that great.
The former is definitely better.
But it doesn't matter, because the rain of arrows is endless. They just need to unleash a huge fireball with all their might, and they will soon be killed by the next rain of arrows.
But it's almost here now.
Zero could only stand there with her hands raised, the flames under her control constantly arching, compressing, and exploding, engulfing wave after wave of arrows.
Although his expression remained calm, his breathing quickened, and he exhaled hot white steam as if cooling himself.
Her arm felt heavy, and a slight stinging sensation came from it; the release of the Word of Power had begun to backfire on her.
The structure began to loosen, and the edges of the flames had collapsed.
There was nothing they could do; the rain of arrows was so heavy it was like a deluge, completely disregarding what lay beneath them.
The air was still burning, but it was no longer enough to cover all the traces of the fall.
An arrow has already pierced the flames.
The first one, the second one, the third one...
The arrows fell with charred trails, their angles tricky and their speed unpredictable; it felt as if just one would be enough to pierce through a body.
Fang Meng saw it; the adrenaline rush made the world slow down in her eyes as the arrow pierced through the barrier of flames.
It was about to strike her and Zero's bodies.
What can she do?
Her body knew better than she did; she reached out, trying to shield Zero beneath her.
But that was a cruel ending that didn't belong to the world of ordinary people.
The world was stretched out at this moment, stretched out by pure despair.
Then, the air exploded.
It was not an explosion of flames, nor an arrow tearing through the air, but a more violent explosion.
It was as if a crack had been forcibly torn open in the entire space, and a figure appeared, dragging along the sparks of electricity generated by friction with the air, like a shooting star being forcibly pulled back into orbit.
That figure forcefully inserted itself into this doomed trajectory.
Lu Mingfei.
He descended from the sky.
In Zero's eyes, in just an instant, a violent wind pressure covered the mountain road, and even the Lord Flame, which was struggling to maintain itself, was torn apart.
The other party only showed him their back, and the mountain path beneath his feet cracked the moment he landed.
But Lu Mingfei's eyes remained bloodshot.
too slow.
Even in a slow-paced world, he, who was considered fast-paced, felt it was too slow at this moment.
It refers to himself.
The rain of arrows seemed to grow out of thin air like an iron forest, dense and layered, and even in this almost stagnant world, its speed was constantly increasing.
It only takes a second or two to pierce the bodies of the two people below.
Could he clear such a large area of arrow rain in just one or two seconds?
He looked at Ling's raised hands, the flames were dispersed by the wind pressure from his arrival, and Fang Meng was shielded behind her.
He could see Fang Meng's leg muscles working, and she was stretching out her hands, trying to shield Ling beneath her.
At this moment, he felt as if the long nails protruding from his head, which had been gradually regenerating from neglect, were being hammered hard with an iron hammer.
So a long nail was driven into his brain, forcing him to remember things he didn't want to remember.
For example, what would have happened if he hadn't supported Yuan Shu's claim to the throne?
For example, what if he had supported Yuan Shao to fight Cao Cao instead of harboring personal vengeance, and instead focused on developing his own resources?
Will fate spare them?
But now, everything is about to repeat itself before his eyes.
In places like Shouchun, Guandu, Yuan Shu's suicide, and Yuan Shao's vomiting of blood, would Ling also be struck by an arrow and fall into his arms, gradually losing her warmth?
Will Fang Meng die here? She still has such a grand wish to fulfill.
Zero was actually just a little girl!
"ah!!!!!"
Lu Mingfei felt a sharp pain piercing his nerves, as if everything was about to repeat itself.
Unless he makes a choice.
But will he?
Lu Mingfei leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hands, and stood directly in front of Zero.
Zero's eyes, which couldn't keep up, slowly lifted, and his pupils slowly contracted as if he realized what Lu Mingfei had done.
He will.
Lu Mingfei used his body to shield the person beneath him from a fatal attack.
The first arrow hit its mark, not in the heart or the head, but in the outer part of the shoulder.
The arrow pierced the skin, but could not go any further. The bones made a muffled sound, vibrating and repelling the arrow.
Then came the second one, and the third one.
Arrows struck Lu Mingfei's body one after another. Some were stuck in his muscles, while others broke off the moment they hit him, with the broken shafts grazing his cheek.
Each impact carried immense force, as if someone were relentlessly hammering him.
But Lu Mingfei did not move.
He just stood there.
Keep your back straight and arms outstretched to maximize the enclosure of the space behind you.
Arrows rained down relentlessly, the sound so dense it was like a downpour pounding on iron armor.
Zero's pupils suddenly contracted, because she saw it clearly.
Having seen clearly what Lu Mingfei had done, he would not abandon her, nor would he betray her, not even until the very end of his life.
So now, as he stands in front of her, simply by extending his hands, all the sharp edges of the world are blocked behind him.
Zero instinctively wanted to take a step forward, but was blocked by an invisible force.
Of course it's not the power of words; Lu Mingfei doesn't know the power of words.
It's because he stood there, like a wall.
The rain of arrows continued straight for three breaths.
Until the last arrow fell, only the sound of the arrow's fletching and the soft thud of red water droplets hitting the ground remained on the mountain path.
Lu Mingfei remained standing.
They didn't look back, nor did they fall.
He only let out a soft breath, as if confirming that Ling and Fang Meng were still alive, before slowly relaxing.
Rainwater flowed down the arrow shaft, mingling with his blood, dripping into the muddy water.
Zero spoke softly.
"Brother, do you need any help? Just show a little ambition and I'll take care of everything for you right away."
The world paused, and so did Zero. Lu Mingze appeared beneath Lu Mingfei, who was protecting him, leaning against Lu Mingfei's shoulder like a little bird, and spoke.
"Oh dear, brother, it's useless to just hate. You need to have the ambition of an emperor. If you don't even want to become emperor, how are you going to fight against them?"
Lu Mingfei coughed.
"Cough cough, I won't die. I promised others that I would live."
