Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1378 - 205: She and He (Part 2)
Previously on Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor...
When she first heard the word "wife," Yun Sheng didn’t even react.
Although she and Ye Beiming were already husband and wife, they had always called each other Ye Huli and Little Wildcat. Hearing the word "wife" made her cheeks burn scarlet.
"Look at the timing, and you still have the mood to joke like that." Yun Sheng spat lightly at Ye Beiming, her face tinged with rosy blush, an indescribable charm about her that made Ye Beiming burst out laughing.
Yun Sheng had originally wanted to treat Ye Beiming’s injury, but when she looked at his right hand, the wound was already gone.
"After that Life and Death Talisman was planted into my body, my recovery ability became even stronger than before." Ye Beiming mused.
"That thing is, after all, a Witch Artifact. You’d better use it as little as possible." The moment Yun Sheng recalled what Bo Bo had said earlier about the origins of the Life and Death Talisman, a bad premonition rose in her heart.
Since the War God Spear’s attack had little effect on the Magic Showcase, Yun Sheng decided to switch to Magic Attacks.
She raised her hand, and between her fingers appeared four streams of Magic Elements in different colors—red, blue, green, and yellow—intertwining to form a powerful Four Phases Thunder Vortex.
This was something Yun Sheng developed after obtaining the Magic God Bracelet: on the basis of the original Secret Thunder Vortex’s water and fire Magic Elements, she added wind and earth Magic Elements.
The new Four Phases Thunder Vortex’s Destructive Power was at least several times stronger than the previous Secret Thunder Vortex, and its might was on par with Ye Beiming’s strike with the War God Spear just now.
Watching the four-colored Magic Power weaving together in Yun Sheng’s hands, Ye Beiming secretly sighed. Even he couldn’t achieve this level of Magic fusion.
An ordinary Mage, let alone fusing them, would have their arm blown to pieces the moment they came into contact with Magic Elements of opposing attributes. But because of Yanling’s Hand and the Marrow Jade Technique, Yun Sheng could withstand all four Magic Elements.
"Go!" Yun Sheng’s hand flicked, and the Four Phases Magic Thunder Vortex shot out like a spinning top, pouncing at the Magic Showcase.
Zi-zi-zi—like an electric drill, it incessantly rammed and corroded the Magic Showcase.
Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming both unconsciously held their breath.
Bang—just when Yun Sheng thought the Four Phases Thunder Vortex could shatter the Magic Showcase, the vortex exploded, the Magic Elements scattering in all directions, while that Magic Showcase remained completely unmoved.
"How can this be?" Yun Sheng hadn’t expected that after the two of them took turns attacking, they still couldn’t break even this single Magic Showcase.
Magic had been tried, Combat Skills had been tried, and none of it worked.
At this point, the two of them had run out of tricks.
"I wonder how the others are doing?" Yun Sheng frowned, staring at that Magic Showcase, at a complete loss.
On the other levels of the Bahuang Tower, the other Bahuang Warriors were facing almost the same situation as Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming.
Only, compared to Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming on the eighth floor, the strength of the Magic Showcases on the different floors was also completely different.
The higher one went, the stronger the Magic Showcase’s durability. The Magic Showcase on the floor where Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming were was undoubtedly the hardest to break.
However, unlike Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming, on the other floors, before the Magic Showcase was broken, a slaughter between the same race and the Alien Race had already erupted.
Whether it was because of the temptation of the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifact, or because they imagined the glory and fame after success, most people had lost their reason.
Rank and status in the clan, distinctions of superiority and strength—all seemed to vanish in an instant.
Such a situation was something even the High Priest and the various Clan Leaders, who had sent everyone into the Bahuang Tower earlier, had not foreseen.
Watching the shrinking number of light points within the Bahuang Tower that symbolized their respective warriors, each Clan Leader’s expression was very strange.
Especially the Pengyu Clan Leader—when he saw the light point symbolizing the Silver Roc disappear, he roared and charged toward the Bahuang Tower.
The High Priest had no choice but to cast a Forbidden Magic, trapping the Pengyu Clan Leader.
Imprisoned within the Magic Restriction, the Pengyu Clan Leader was like a trapped beast, howling in agony.
"Damn Bahuang Tower! High Priest, what is your intention? Give me back my son’s life!"
The other Clan Leaders also wore complicated expressions.
Though they had not, like the Silver Roc, lost a son outright, the elites under their command were almost completely wiped out.
What secret did the Bahuang Tower hold? Or was it that the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifact really possessed some unspeakable mysterious power that robbed people of their sanity and drove them to slaughter one another?
"Pengyu Clan Leader, the Bahuang Tower has always been a Purgatory on earth. Those who can walk out of it are the strongest of the strong. It tests not only one’s strength, but also one’s heart. The Silver Roc Young Clan Leader failed to withstand the test. I, too, find it regretful." The two warriors from the Beast God Altar had also been killed one after another, yet the High Priest remained indifferent.
As if, in his eyes, the deaths of those two were nothing at all.
"The High Priest is right. Pengyu Clan Leader, you may leave now." Hei Yao issued a cold expulsion order.
The death of the Silver Roc Young Clan Leader meant that the Pengyu Clan had lost their qualification as a Middle-level Beast Clan and had fallen to a Lower Beast Clan.
Peng Wanli drooped his head in dejection and was helped away by several Pengyu Guards.
Day after day passed, and still no one came out of the Bahuang Tower.
Fortunately, the number of light points on the different floors within the Bahuang Tower no longer decreased.
It was not until the twenty-fifth day.
On the eighth floor, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming sat cross-legged, back to back.
Both of them were already exhausted. After that, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming had each tried many more times, but without exception, all ended in failure.
Time inside the Bahuang Tower was monotonous and dull. Were they really just going to wait like this until the one-month period ended and they left the Bahuang Tower?
Because they were on the eighth floor and cut off from the outside world, Yun Sheng had no idea how the others were doing.
But at least there was one thing Yun Sheng could be sure of: Bo Bo and the Night Charm Queen were still alive.
"Ye Huli, it’s actually not so bad, staying in the Bahuang Tower all this time," Yun Sheng said softly. A hand suddenly wrapped around her from behind as Ye Beiming pulled her into his arms.
"You’ve been tired these days. With me here, everything will be fine." Ye Beiming understood what Yun Sheng meant.
From their first meeting to their many separations, the ordeals they had gone through were beyond ordinary imagination.
All these years, only in this past half month did they finally have a chance to truly live quiet days alone together.
Although there was nothing in this Bahuang Tower, she had him, and he had her—that surpassed everything.
Here, there was no blood feud between the Wuji Continent and the Bahuang Continent, no hatred between the Human Clan and the Beast Clan, no Ancient Forbidden Curse—only tranquility and mutual reliance.
In their eyes, there was only each other’s reflection, as if this moment had become eternity.
