Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Disappearance (4)_1
Shangguan You glanced at the pitch-black entrance within the vortex; it was also cloaked in darkness. Are these water columns trying to pull me into the vortex? she wondered. Shangguan You’s lips curled into a cold smile. Despite the shallowness of the lake, it hides such a dark gateway. What secrets lie at the bottom?
Countless water columns sprayed into the air, trapping Shangguan You. The force pulling at her feet grew stronger and stronger. WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Wherever the Spiritual Energy passed, the water columns disintegrated into droplets that fell back into the lake.
"Shangguan You, you fool," Zhuge Feng chastised under his breath. He had told her to leave, but she didn’t. Instead, she had trapped herself. Seeing the dense water columns surrounding her, Zhuge Feng involuntarily took a few steps forward, aiming his gun at the vortex in the center of the lake.
BANG! BANG! BANG! The loud reports echoed as countless splashes erupted. The bullets were sucked directly into the vortex, vanishing into its depths.
"Zhuge Feng, step back! Don’t you dare come closer!" Shangguan You shouted at Zhuge Feng in the distance while dodging the water columns. If things get really bad, I can still hide in my space. But if Zhuge Feng gets entangled, that will be troublesome.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Zhuge Feng yelled angrily. The idea of abandoning her and running away alone was unthinkable to him; he would rather stay by her side.
Roaring in anger, Zhuge Feng headed toward the lakeside. What is water afraid of? What is water afraid of? Right! Water fears fire! A glint of excitement flashed across Zhuge Feng’s face. Hopefully, this will work. Hopefully, this will work!
"Wait for me!" Zhuge Feng shouted, dashing toward the kitchen. I hope this is useful!
Shangguan You felt the Spiritual Energy inside her slowly fading. A thin layer of sweat had formed on her forehead. While her upper body wasn’t bound, her feet were gradually being pulled down.
Damn it! Shangguan You cursed inwardly. She retrieved a bottle of Hundred Poisons Pill from her space. Hmph, if you’re alive, then have a taste of poison! Let’s see if it doesn’t kill you! With this thought, she tossed the entire bottle of Hundred Poisons Pill into the vortex. I’ll poison you to death, you monster! The bottle vanished into the pitch-black portal, not even a ripple stirring the surface.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! A few loud sounds erupted. All the water columns entangled in mid-air dissolved into streams, quickly returning to the small lake and converging toward the vortex. Meiyi and her four companions slammed onto the ground with a THUD, and the water around them slowly flowed back into the small lake.
Shangguan You breathed a sigh of relief. It seems the water in this lake has become sentient. My potent poison, not only lethal to humans but also, it appears, effective against water, has finally poisoned the lake.
The water columns around her had vanished, and the force binding her feet was also slowly dissipating. The once-turbulent small lake gradually calmed.
WHOOSH! Suddenly, with a tremendous sound, all the lake’s water sprayed upward toward Shangguan You, who was suspended in mid-air. This attack was more concentrated and fiercer than the scattered assaults from before.
So the lake water wasn’t poisoned by my toxins, nor did my Hundred Poisons Pill have any effect! Instead, it all gathered together, concentrating its power to attack me! Countless droplets sprayed into the air, and many splashed onto Shangguan You. While channeling Spiritual Energy, she tried to prevent the water droplets from landing on her.
Just one drop hitting her made her body feel significantly heavier. These droplets are alive! Once splashed, they would slowly gather, transforming from droplets to beads, then to lines, and finally to columns, tightly binding her and leaving her no chance to counter.
What the hell is this thing?! Shangguan You cursed inwardly. She found she couldn’t move her left hand; it was already wrapped with numerous water columns that were creeping up her arm toward her body. Once bound, they spread like a virus, rapidly engulfing her.
In moments, water columns bound Shangguan You’s limbs, leaving her entangled in a spread-eagle position in mid-air. Countless water threads constricted her chest, making it hard for her to breathe and leaving her gasping for air.
Meiyi and her four companions lay on the ground, panting heavily, blood constantly flowing from their mouths. They watched with wide eyes as Shangguan You, entangled in the air, struggled.
As Shangguan You struggled, she circulated the Spiritual Energy within her body. She allowed it to flow through her, easing the pressure on her chest. Despite this, she felt blood rushing to her head. Moreover, the lake water was gradually pulling her body downwards toward the dark hole of the vortex, which seemed to be infinitely expanding. It’s determined to swallow me whole!
Even in such a perilous situation, Shangguan You’s heart remained exceptionally calm. I need a solution, her mind raced. Though unable to move even a muscle, she could acutely feel the excitement of the water binding her. She watched as her feet began to be engulfed by the vortex.
She was slowly being pulled in. As her feet were drawn into the vortex, she could distinctly feel the crushing pain.
"Shangguan You!" Zhuge Feng cried out, running over from afar. Seeing Shangguan You being pulled into the vortex, his face paled. He shouted again and hastily threw the burning oil in his hands into the lake. Water fears fire! I refuse to believe I can’t save Shangguan You!
He quickly sprinkled the oil over the surface of the lake and struck a lighter. FWOOSH! Flames engulfed the lake.
The fire followed the oil, inching towards the vortex. But suddenly, HISS! Another layer of water beads rose from the lake’s surface, engulfing the burning oil. SPUTTER! SPUTTER! All the ignited oil was extinguished, and the lake’s surface returned to calm once more.
Zhuge Feng stumbled, his mind racing. Why isn’t the water afraid of fire? Why?! His clear eyes flickered several times as he watched Shangguan You being slowly pulled deeper into the vortex. He looked at the immobilized Meiyi and her four companions, and then he remembered those days when life had been worse than death.
Zhuge Feng’s body trembled violently. He quickly leaped into the lake. Step by step, he moved towards where Shangguan You was. No matter what happens, I, Zhuge Feng, am willing to be with Shangguan You.
