Chapter 61: The Funeral Song of Blood and Fire (Part 2)

  "Let me stop him!" William and Nia exclaimed in unison.

  Tang Jie immediately shouted at them in a stern tone: "No one is allowed to go! Don't get close to him under any circumstances! This is an order!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Lirisa: "Hurry up and don't hesitate!"

  Lilith glanced at Tangie, took a deep breath, fixed her eyes, closed them, and began to rapidly recite an incantation in her mouth. This was a spell that stimulated the last potential in her body.

  When Lirien chanted the spell, the air around her could be seen to distort and intensify, with countless fire elements gathering between her fingers.

  "Fire God Phil, listen to the call of your most loyal servant, she is humbly calling out your name, she is willing to exchange the most faithful faith in this world for power from you..."

  Lilith finished her incantation, slowly opening her eyes. She looked at Tang Jie and saw that the man was gazing at her with an encouraging gaze. With a determined heart, she began to release flames around Tang Jie's left hand!

  What does it feel like to have a hand placed in fire and scorched?

  Although Tang Jie had the Dou Qi protecting his body, it didn't mean he could withstand such continuous and unrelenting flames. He only felt as if his hands were being torn apart, the pain was unbearable!

  His teeth chattered loudly, his whole body shook violently, and big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead!

  Fortunately, Lirien's control over the flames was incredibly precise, and she managed to adjust the scale of the flames to exactly match the size of Barba's coverage area. Within the flames controlled by Lirien, Tong Jie's arm wrapped in Barba was tightly enveloped, without any movement at all.

  Tang Jie's steel teeth were almost crushed, he knew that the flames were useless against Baruba, the flames only served to isolate it from the air, and this flame would have to continue until Baruba died of suffocation.

  Although Tangie's forearm was covered with thick Barb, which also played a role in isolating the flame from magic, Tangie's left arm was spared from being burned by the flames. However, the parts of Tangie's left hand that were not covered by Barb were licked by the flames, causing unbearable pain.

  Tang Jieqiang endured the intense pain that made him dizzy, constantly urging the remaining bit of Dou Qi in his body to protect a part of his left arm, preventing Lilith from burning him into a cripple with her flames.

  Niya and William, among others, stood by with cold sweat in their palms as they watched Tong Jie bite his teeth and remain silent, seemingly feeling the same intense burning pain.

  After about two minutes of scorching, Tang Jie was almost driven mad by the intense pain when his arm suddenly twitched violently and began to writhe in agony.

  "It's working, just hold on a bit longer!" Lilies stared intently, her eyes fixed on Tang Jie's arm, her forehead and nose were covered in sweat, and a drop of sweat hung from the end of her long eyelashes. She didn't even dare to blink, afraid that if she lost control of the flames for a moment, she would burn Tang Jie to death!

  Just at this moment, Wells, who had been slowly approaching from a distance, took one step forward and the sunken ship island shook violently. Suddenly, the rock beneath his feet suddenly collapsed!

  The ground of this huge cave suddenly began to collapse continuously!

  A huge crack started spreading from the center of the seam where Tang Jie's foot had stepped, and block after block of stone began to collapse!

  One of Wells' feet slipped into the crevice, and he frantically struggled to pull it out, but as soon as he did, his other foot, which was standing on a rock, also fell through, and his entire body became wedged in the fissure!

  The cave began to shake violently, and rocks from the top of the cave kept falling down, hitting Tang Jie and his companions.

  The flames on the ground were wildly twisting and turning, the giant egg of Baluba hanging from the top of the cave was also swaying back and forth, rocks were falling like rain all around, and the earth was shaking as if it were doomsday!

  Tang Jie was in so much pain that he almost fainted, holding on to his last bit of consciousness on the spiritual platform, and he didn't even know how to dodge.

  Lilith was fully focused on casting her magic, her face filled with concentration, which completely obscured the childishness and innocence on her body.

  William, Nina and Bill looked at each other and spontaneously surrounded Tongjie, blocking the falling rocks for him.

  Niya gritted her teeth, using a long knife picked up from the ground to pry open block after block of fallen rocks. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth as she severely overexerted herself. It wasn't just her; William and Bill were also in the same state. After several consecutive major battles, they had already reached their limits.

  Although they would collapse and die at any moment, they still gritted their teeth, not one of them retreated, firmly guarding around Tang Jie and Lirisi.

  They firmly believed that Tanger would wake up and recover, and then continue to be their captain, leading them to fulfill their dream of conquering the sea!

  These five people struggling on the edge of extreme limits actually persisted for another minute in the cave where rocks were falling like rain!

  Tang Jie, who was almost fainting from the severe pain, suddenly felt a slight relief in his arm and a cool sensation spreading through.

  He trembled as he opened his eyelids, only to find that Lirien had exhausted all her magic and fainted. The Barba on his left arm had turned into a black hard shell, deeply embedded in his forearm like a cocoon, with strange black stripes running wildly, like a ferocious black monster.

  Niya saw that Tang Jie had woken up and immediately felt both happy and anxious.

  Niya rushed over and helped Tang Jie up, while William picked up the petite Lilith.

  Tang Jie's whole body was still trembling from the severe pain, his bloodless lips quivered and he uttered a weak voice: "Run... fast..."

  Without him saying anything, Nia and Bill supported Dong Jie as they quickly ran towards the outside of the cave.

  Just then, the Barb that was hanging from the top of the cave finally couldn't support its own weight and smashed down fiercely, smashing a huge hole in the ground.

  This cave is bottomless, countless rocks fall in, but not a single echo can be heard!

  Wells was at the edge of this pit, his hands grasping the edge of the hole, frantically struggling to climb up and escape from this dark bottomless pit.

  But the cave had already begun to collapse, and even the huge boulder that Wells was clinging to shook slightly before falling into the bottomless pit along with him.

  Tang Jie and his group had just stepped over a stone, when it suddenly collapsed into a bottomless pit. It was as if there was an invisible person behind them, pounding the ground they were running on with a massive hammer.

  Tang Jie was supported by Niya, and with great difficulty, he turned his head to look, only to see that the speed of the ground collapse was about to exceed their escape speed, while the tunnel entrance was just a short distance away!

  Tang Jie shouted: "Jump quickly!"

  Rumble!

  A loud rumble, the stone cave suspended by Barb finally collapsed, and Tang Jie and his companions narrowly escaped by jumping out just as the stones under their feet fell into the bottomless pit. Niya, Bill, and Tang Jie clung tightly to the edge of the rock wall.

  William threw Lilith into the tunnel and jumped himself, heavily crashing onto the rock wall. His hands frantically grabbed at the rocks, managing to grasp a loose stone. He hung in mid-air for a moment before plummeting downwards!

  William was so frightened that his face turned white, thinking he would surely die, when a hand suddenly grasped his arm with a loud "slap".

  Tang Jie grasped the rock face tightly with his left hand, and grabbed William's arm with his right. His teeth were clenched so hard that blood was oozing out, and the veins on his neck and face bulged like twisting green snakes as he let out a terrifying roar: "Grab my hand quickly!"

  William immediately flipped his wrist and grabbed Tang Jie's arm, but his weight of over 200 pounds was really frightening. Tang Jie only felt that the muscles in both hands were being torn apart by someone with great force, and he felt dizzy from the pain.

  William saw that Tong Jie's left hand had just been scorched by the flames, yet it was now supporting both his and Tong Jie's entire weight, the muscle strain must be excruciating!

  "He couldn't bear it and shouted loudly: 'Captain, let go! Don't let me drag you down!'"

  Tang Jie lowered his head and roared: "What the hell are you talking about, hurry up! I won't let anything happen to you! If you dare to loosen your hand and jump down, I'll dare to jump down and pick you up!"

  When William saw Tongjie speaking, his voice was coming out from between his teeth, and his whole body was trembling like a red candle in the wind. Whether Tongjie could support his own body was still a question, but now he had to support both himself and his weight!

  What willpower and faith it takes!!

  William was a man who had never known what sorrow and tears felt like, but at this moment, he had a feeling of suffocation in his chest and a sour nose.

  William didn't dare say anything more, he knew that Tang Jie was a man who could put his words into action.

  This is the man he knew, this is the captain he knew.

  Tang Jie's left hand grasped the rock wall, and although the severe pain caused by his muscles being torn made him feel like he was going to die, he could clearly feel a warm sensation coming from the part of his left hand that was covered with calluses, giving his exhausted body a bit more strength.

  Although Barba is already dead, a tiny bit of power that he transmitted to Donnie's body before his death saves him at this time.

  Tang Jie took a deep breath and suddenly let out a loud roar, and with one hand, he actually threw the over 200-pound William up into the air!

  At this moment, Tang Jie felt that he had almost squeezed out his last bit of potential, his hands grasping the rock face, panting heavily, unable to move anymore.

  William was swung by him, his body rose a foot high, and his hands immediately grasped the rock face.

  If someone looked from a distance at this time, they could see that the stone cave where the fierce battle had just occurred had turned into an unfathomably deep abyss. In the thick darkness, waves of ocean roar echoed, and the Barbah giant egg suspended on the top of the cave was also gone, apparently falling into the cave.

  Tang Jie and the others were clinging to the rocky wall of the cave, lined up in a row. Their two hands grasped their arms against the rock face, while their feet stepped on the protruding stones, as long as they didn't move themselves, they wouldn't fall off.

  It wasn't until then that Tang Jie finally let out a sigh of relief, and he and Niya exchanged a glance, seeing the thrill of escaping death and the comfort in each other's eyes.

  Tang Jie thought that after the outbreak of the Xixi Sea Battle, they had been chased by Bisai's butt and had almost no chance to breathe.

  But he managed to turn the tables with the help of Nia, Lirien and William, and laughed in the end.

  Tang Jie thought to this place, he had a kind of lingering fear and the thrill of defeating a strong enemy, he chuckled softly, because his body was close to the rock wall, the sound seemed somewhat muffled.

  Nina and William heard Dong Jie's laughter, they both heard the joy and excitement, pride and heroism in this laughter, they also panted heavily, and followed with a hearty laugh.

  These sounds mixed together, growing louder and louder, the survivors' low chuckles turned into loud guffaws, this laughter after a narrow escape shook the stone cave with a buzzing sound.

  Ketangjie was laughing and suddenly felt that this loud laughter was mixed with another laugh coming from the corridor.

  Tang Jie's heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty, his laughter gradually subsiding as he stared straight into the distance inside the tunnel.

  Niya and they found Tang Jie's abnormality, also stopped laughing, and looked inside at the same time.

  All that was seen was a coarse and low laugh continuing to come from the cave, with an inexplicable sense of complacency in the voice.

  This voice, whether it was Donnie or Nia, William or Bill, they were all too familiar with it.

  William and Bill heard this sound, and their eyes widened instantly, with a look of shock and great joy on their faces.

  Nia heard the voice and her whole body shook, her eyes overflowing with incredulous tears.

  However, Tang Jie heard this voice, and he was violently trembling all over. He felt that every hair on his body was burning with extreme anger. He would rather be killed by Wells a million times than see this person once at this time and in this place!

  A man emerged from the stone cave, his gait a bit unsteady and limping, with one arm broken, his clothes tattered and worn out. At first glance, he looked somewhat disheveled, but this did not affect the aura of intimidation that surrounded him. He was robust in build, with a thick brown beard covering his face, giving off an air of majesty and strength, like an old lion who still retained some of its former power.

  Tang Jie's fists were trembling like a nervous wreck, his fingernails digging deep into the flesh of his palms, yet he himself was completely unaware. His eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, staring at them with a sharpness that could cut through anything.
