118 Escaping the island. (2/2)
Their plan wasn't to defeat this Devil's Grasp Vine, it was to escape this place. Fang Ying returned the nod, once again fusing with the tired and now pouting Langshen, vanishing into a ripple through space. Li Yang knew her well, she wouldn't agree to just them escaping now, she would likely pick up the other people first. Li Yang let out another breath, his gaze returning to the dense vines that surrounded the primary heart.
”Oh well, let's mess you up some more.”
The purpose of the first two attacks was to destroy the vines that surrounded the city and to draw the full attention of the Devil's Grasp Vine, this next attack was something Li Yang was only going to launch to vent some of his annoyance at having to waste so much blood.
He dropped to the ground as fast as lightning, crashing through the thick spikes of ice and creating a crater where he landed, dropping into a kneeling position and digging both his hands into the ground, unleashing almost all of the energy he had left in him.
The earth started to bulge and waver, the spikes of ice evaporating as both the earth and any remaining stones started to melt. The entire island suddenly exploded outwards, thick pillars of golden magma shooting into the sky and turning into a calamitous rain that hailed down over the entire city. Li Yang kept a close eye on every drop of magma, making sure that none of them hit Fang Ying or any of the people she was working on saving.
Thanks to the magma covering the entire city, he was also able to notice the moment she was done saving the last person, transporting everyone to the edge of the city. He pulled both of his hands out from the earth, his lips curling up slightly as he let out a mutter.
”I'll be taking these, I'm sure you won't mind.”
Li Yang stood up from his kneeling position, his legs trembling slightly while his vision was starting to turn somewhat blurry. He shook his head to clear up his vision and waved his left hand, causing the earth in three different locations to rise up slightly. A frozen mass of vines in the shape of a heart shot out from each of these three locations, quickly flying over to Li Yang before being stored into his interspatial rings. These were secondary hearts that he had frozen to keep safe, they only contained a fraction of the energy that the primary heart contained, but at least it was something.
Li Yang then took a step and vanished, immediately appearing at Fang Ying's side. Li Yang turned his gaze onto the water that surrounded the island, his vision locking onto the closest island. He flicked his wrist and unleashed the last of the energy he had in his body, a burst of intense cold causing a bridge to form over the water, connecting the two islands and making it easier to get away from this place.
Li Yang's vision grew blurry when he unleashed the remaining energy, his body roaring at him in pain as his legs started to give out underneath him. He had tried to contain far too much energy in his body, now it was catching up with him. He let himself fall into Fang Ying's arms, muttering quietly before falling unconscious.
”Alright, I did my part, your turn. I'm expecting some damn good breakfast when I wake up.”
