Chapter 722 The Lightning Strike of an Eighth Grade Pill 6 ” (2/2)

I can’t give up!

If I give up now then no one can save him anymore!

In that second, the eighth bolt had come down as if to meet her demand, causing that whole body to fall to the ground entirely. Despite the insane amount of damage she was suffering, the effects were rather dazzling like she’s covered in a halo, shimmering and glowing.

“One last one!” Struggling to force a smile, she attempts to crawl back up for the final blow, “Once I get through this then it will be over!”

But low and behold, the last would always be the most dangerous. Unlike the previous strikes, this thunder bolt was at a whole new level compared to anything she’s endured thus far.

Success and I will get what I want, failure and I will die, so be it….

Closing her eyes, the woman quietly readies her spirit and body for the final clash. Yet, the expected pain never came, instead there were only the faint contour of a shadow in front of herself when she opened those eyes again to search for the reason.

“Why?”

Why is he here?

Why…. why is he fending off the last attack for me?

Trembling right into her heart, Bai Yan wanted to reach out to grasp onto the figure for some sort of answer. Unfortunately for the weakened her, the shadowy contour dissipated as soon as those fingers made contact.

“Di Cang!” Covering her mouth, tears came slipping down those cheeks in accordance with her muffled sobbing.

Plattt~

Just then, Bai Yan’s ear had caught onto the splitting sound of something inside her storage bag. In a hurry, she immediately pulled out said item and discovered it was a flower made out of carrot.

This was a gift given to her by Di Cang when their son kept nagging to his old man to cook something inside the homely kitchen. Though the dishes themselves didn’t turn out so great – downright disgusting – the husband did produce one decent product and that was this ordinary looking flower carved using the hands of love. Even after their separation, Bai Yan never had the heart to toss it away.

Thankfully a moment of softness was now paying off in full. If her guesses are right, there should be a wisp of the demon lord’s power sealed inside the object. It’s this energy that blocked off the thunder strike just now. As to the reason why Bai Yan didn’t sense it beforehand, it’s likely due to the difference in their strength.
