1. In the Moment of Despair
Lin Ye’s body was on the brink of collapse, wounds covering him, blood pouring out in torrents, and his consciousness growing faint. The cultivators surrounding him had pushed him to the brink of death, and with every passing moment, he felt death drawing closer. Just then, a powerful aura suddenly surged, sweeping through the air like a violent storm, rapidly dispersing the oppressive atmosphere. Lin Ye’s vision became blurry, and he nearly lost all sensation. But at that moment, a brilliant sword light pierced the air, slicing through the night sky with a deafening roar.
The sword light was incredibly sharp and quickly repelled the cultivators attacking Lin Ye. The space where the sword light struck was torn apart, and the powerful shockwave blasted the surrounding air. The cultivators retreated, unwilling to press forward. Lin Ye was caught in the blast, crashing to the ground, feeling as if all his strength had left him, and the world around him grew even darker.
A slender figure appeared before him, blocking the murderous aura that had been closing in.
2. A Powerful Sword Intent
When Lin Ye lifted his head, his vision finally focused on the figure. He saw a woman dressed in white robes. She was like a snowflake in the cold winter, pure and flawless, her demeanor as cold as frost. Her face held a distant, unfeeling expression, as if she had no connection to the warmth of the world. Yet, the immense aura emanating from her made Lin Ye instantly feel a pressure unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
Her presence was like an invisible sword—sharp and pure. Her appearance caused the cultivators surrounding Lin Ye to halt their attacks, watching her warily. She did not speak but merely raised her hand slightly. Her aura, like a blade, swept through the air, and a pure sword intent reverberated through the space, making the surrounding environment tremble.
The cultivators' faces grew solemn, their eyes filled with both caution and fear. It was clear that the woman in white far surpassed their expectations in strength.
3. Unidentified Identity
The woman glanced indifferently at the cultivators around her, her expression unchanged, as though their presence did not matter. Her gaze finally landed on Lin Ye, and she spoke coldly: "Come with me."
In that instant, Lin Ye felt a mysterious force transmitted from the woman’s gaze. Though he was gravely injured and barely able to hold on, her words stirred an unfamiliar strength within him. He understood that this woman had the power to pull him from his current predicament, and perhaps even to resolve the instability of the demonic power within him.
However, he still felt confused. Who was this woman? Why did she come to his aid? What was her purpose?
But at that moment, Lin Ye had no strength to ponder these questions further. His body could no longer resist, and he had no choice but to cling to the last sliver of hope and follow this mysterious woman.
4. Conclusion
With the woman’s appearance, Lin Ye finally gained a temporary reprieve from the siege. Would he be able to safely follow her out of danger? Why had this woman saved him? What was her true identity? Where would she lead him, and could she unravel the mystery of the demonic power within him? These questions would only be answered in the days to come as Lin Ye embarked on a new journey.
