"When Old Hu touched the light screen just now, there seemed to be a layer of barrier. If we break that barrier, maybe we can pull Dongli out!"
At this point, there were no other options.
"Kai team, we go all out!"
Ruan Yu downed several gulps of liquor and drew his longsword.
"Taiji Sword!"
Jiang Kai swung Quenching Fire Chasing Life. "Long-range shot, combined form!"
Before their weapons even reached the light screen, they were indeed blocked by a transparent barrier.
But even with Jiang Kai and Ruan Yu teaming up, they still couldn't break that barrier.
Hu Yan wanted to help the two of them, but the moment he tried to draw breath he spat out a mouthful of backward-flowing blood. The previous two heavy hits had left him in terrible condition.
The first attempt proved the barrier existed, but it didn't break it.
Dongli's situation kept getting worse. Her expression grew more twisted with pain. She screamed hoarsely, her human features fading away. Behind her, five white fox tails had already grown out.
Jiang Kai was panicking. He shouted at Ruan Yu, "Ruan Ghost, when this barrier gets hit, it pulses with energy, but it recovers fast. We have to go all in, break it in one hit!"
"Clone!" Jiang Kai summoned his clone. "Hey, we're running out of time, use your strongest attack!"
The clone glanced at the suffering Dongli inside the light screen and narrowed his eyes a little. "Then we have to use Fate-Twisting Souls."
Jiang Kai and the clone shot out Yama Orders at the same time, stabbing into their own lower abdomens.
The clone activated Fate-Twisting Souls. Jiang Kai's true body activated both Desperado and Fate-Twisting Souls.
"Land of No Gods!" Jiang Kai triggered Land of No Gods as well, boosting both his team and himself.
"Dreams of fools made real! Strength enhanced!"
Jiang Kai was fully powered up now, and he pushed his teammates' states to the maximum too.
"Ruan Yu, clone, attack the same spot, or we'll never open a breach!" Jiang Kai shouted. "I'll use the Yama Order to mark it!"
"Yama Order, Wrath of the Gods!" Jiang Kai shot out the Quenching Fire Yama Order. It hit the transparent barrier and, using its own rotation, wasn't knocked back immediately.
Once the Yama Order marked the spot, Jiang Kai's true body, the clone, and Ruan Yu all struck together.
"I, Ruan Yu, have never lost to anyone! Madman Drunken Sword!"
Jiang Kai held the Demon-Slaying Sword and roared, "Haotian Demon-Slaying Sword!"
At the same time he also swung out Chasing Life, Light God Order, Earth God Order.
"Moonlit Immortal Trace Sword!" The clone unleashed his strongest attack too.
With a booming crash, all three attacks hit the spot marked by the Yama Order.
A huge blast of energy exploded across the outside of the barrier. The shock forced Jiang Kai and the others back.
As Jiang Kai slid backward, he suddenly saw obvious ripples appear across the surface of the barrier. Waves spread to both sides, and the center of the impact had grown slightly thinner.
That detail proved the barrier really could be broken. But it also showed how far they still were from punching through it completely.
And almost instantly, the weakened part of the barrier filled back in as energy flowed back from both sides. The thin spot was restored in a blink.
"We went full power and still couldn't break it?!" Jiang Kai's eyes widened. He had basically used every skill he had.
Even so, they still hadn't pierced it.
"The barrier recovers too fast. If we can't break it in one go, the boundary will never fall." Jiang Kai frowned tightly.
Even drunk, Ruan Yu fell silent. Deep down, he had long treated Hu Yan as a brother. He rarely got quiet like this.
By now, Dongli had fully turned into a pure white five-tailed fox. She had stopped struggling.
Her eyes turned to Hu Yan, full of sorrow and reluctance.
"Hu Yan… goodbye…"
Then she looked at Jiang Kai and Ruan Yu. "Jiang Kai, Ruan Yu, I know you've already done all you can."
"We should've realized long ago that breaking this boundary is far too hard…"
"Jiang Kai, Ruan Yu, thank you… farewell forever…"
Dongli's body began to turn hazy as the light screen washed over her, breaking her apart.
Seeing this, Jiang Kai's heart ached, but he couldn't think of a solution.
Right then, badly injured Hu Yan suddenly roared, "You want to take Dongli away? I, Hu Yan, will never allow it!"
"Never!"
Around Hu Yan, for some reason, a layer of black mist appeared.
Jiang Kai stared in shock. "What is happening?"
Hu Yan could control wind and thunder, but he'd never had any ability involving darkness.
A moment later, the black mist vanished.
Hu Yan roared, "I agree! I'm willing to exchange my soul's power for greater strength!"
"Strange talent, second form! Heavenly Thunder Rages!"
As soon as he said that, huge amounts of black mist poured out around him again, wrapping him completely.
"Kai team, help me!"
Jiang Kai was so stunned his brain just froze.
Judging by Hu Yan's condition, he could almost confirm Hu Yan had suddenly turned into a strange-type class user.
But Jiang Kai had only given him extraordinary advancement materials. How did this guy turn into a strange-type class?
Suddenly Jiang Kai remembered the Heart-Devourer woman. Back when Huaxia still didn't have a tier-seven advancement material, that woman had already advanced into a tier-seven strange-type class.
Which meant you might not need strange-type materials to convert into one.
Jiang Kai never imagined Hu Yan would suddenly change his entire class like this.
But this wasn't the time to question it. Hu Yan was unleashing everything he had. With him joining in, maybe they really could break the barrier.
"Ruan Ghost, one more push!"
Ruan Yu didn't hesitate. He threw everything he had into another Madman Drunken Sword.
Jiang Kai and the clone hurled out all their Chasing Life shots and divine cards.
But the main force came from Jiang Kai, Ruan Yu, and Hu Yan.
One was a Heaven's-Wrath Exile, one an extraordinary class, one a strange-type class. Three different paths, three different powers, all using their strongest attacks.
With a deafening boom, their combined strike blasted a small hole in the barrier.
"We broke through?"
"No, it's recovering! Dongli, get out!" Hu Yan shouted until his throat strained.
But Dongli had no strength left to move on her own.
Right then, the little creature on Jiang Kai's shoulder suddenly jumped off, darted into the barrier, and bit Dongli's tail.
"You little troublemaker!" Jiang Kai's eyes almost popped out. Was it going to steal Dongli's life force again?
But this time, the little guy didn't take advantage.
After getting bitten, not only was Dongli not hurt, her fading eyes suddenly flickered with life.
The next second, Dongli shouted, "Little one, hold my tail!"
As soon as she spoke, she lunged out of the light screen, smashing through the gap in the barrier, crashing onto the ground in front of Hu Yan and the others.
"She… she came out?!" Jiang Kai said in disbelief…
