Chapter 4426
This time, the expressions on the faces in the crowd had grown even more unsettling!
Lin Keting’s body trembled slightly as she instinctively leaned closer to Kai!
Kai wrapped his arm around Lin Keting’s waist, and she made no attempt to pull away!
At that moment, she desperately needed someone to offer her comfort.
Ji Yun, witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but let out a derisive laugh.
Meanwhile, Zhu Qingxiu simply rolled her eyes and turned her head away.
“There is danger ……”
At that very moment, the Red Cloud Demon Lord within Kai’s consciousness urgently alerted him.
Before Kai could fully process this warning, the massive ball of light began to tremble violently, causing everyone around to feel a wave of dizziness wash over them.
The Thunder Beast’s expression shifted dramatically as he rushed forward to shout, “Hold steady! I’m going to increase the speed ……”
With that, the Thunder Beast took control of the ball of light and rapidly began to descend.
Flames erupted around the ball of light, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds; the surface of the ball even started to develop fissures.
Everyone’s faces paled in response.
If the ball of light’s protection failed, they would surely be crushed upon falling.
At that moment, many regretted their decision to descend; they would have been better off staying up above.
Not only could they have saved spirit stones, but they might also have saved their lives.
But it was too late for regrets now!
Suddenly, a colossal hand emerged from the darkness, gently slapping down on the top of the ball of light!
Boom!
The ball of light shattered instantly!
The Thunder Beast spat out a mouthful of blood, his body plummeting downwards.
Everyone else followed suit, their bodies hurtling down uncontrollably!
Still held by Kai, Lin Keting clutched the jade pendant tightly in her hand, determination flickering in her eyes!
But just as she was about to activate the life-preserving jade pendant, a terrifying force surged through the air, sweeping them all away like leaves caught in a storm. Their minds spiraled into darkness …
Time passed in an unknown blur before Kai gradually regained consciousness!
The first thing that met his gaze upon opening his eyes was Lin Keting’s delicate face!
The two remained locked in an embrace, so close that even the slightest movement might lead to a kiss.
Kai’s eyes lingered on Lin Keting, and he felt a surge of emotions well up within him!
Just then, Lin Keting also opened her eyes, and their gazes locked in an intimate moment!
Lin Keting flushed, and Kai felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him!
“You … you should get off me …”
Lin Keting whispered shyly!
“Oh, my apologies …”
Kai quickly climbed off, then helped Lin Keting to her feet!
As they looked around, they noticed the absence of others, and at their feet lay countless bones, some reduced to dust.
“Where is everyone? Why is it so empty?”
Lin Keting asked, her voice laced with concern.
“I’m not sure; they probably fell elsewhere. We should search for them …”
Kai replied.
“Ah …”
However, as soon as Lin Keting took a step, she gasped!
“Miss Lin, what’s wrong?”
Kai rushed to her side, worried.
“I think I hurt my leg …” Lin Keting said, her brow furrowed in pain.
“What should we do? Should I carry you?”
Kai glanced at her injured leg, feeling helpless!
If their cultivation hadn’t been sealed, he could have easily healed her. This minor injury would have been nothing!
But now, they were both just ordinary people, leaving Kai feeling powerless!
Lin Keting shook her head, “Don’t pick me up; I’m worried you might misinterpret it …”
Her words turned Kai’s cheeks crimson!
“Miss Lin, I’m truly sorry; I didn’t mean it that way.”
“In that case, it’s fine if I ride on your back; that way, you won’t have to worry about it!”
Kai offered, squatting down in front of her.
“That works!” Lin Keting said as she climbed onto Kai’s back.
Even with his strength sealed, carrying her was still manageable for Kai.
