He had just closed the main gate when Qiu Luoye, outside the barrier, slamd into it in a fury.
Li Banfeng was thrown into the air, flying a good distance before landing heavily on the ground, his leg broken.
"Damn it! That old dog Shui Yongquan only knows how to use this lousy thing!" Qiu Luoye had also hit it rather hard this ti and felt a bit dizzy.
CREEEAAAK...
The two panels of the gate parted again, opening nearly two feet.
It’s about to reach three feet...
Soone needed to hold the gate, or the Waterfall Gate would open faster and wider.
Li Banfeng hadn’t expected this. He’d thought that erecting the Waterfall Gate ant success.
He hadn’t expected holding the gate to be this difficult.
The Month Plate lay in the grass, its clock showing 5:18.
Two more minutes.
What can I use to hold it for two minutes?
There’s no hope.
It’s all over...
「...」
WHOOSH...
Inside the Portable Residence, the Phonograph’s hum was as faint as a thread.
Red Lotus sighed, "Wicked woman, you’ve dominated all your life, yet you still couldn’t survive this disaster. And I wonder if that madman is still alive? If he went with you, it would be a perfect end for you both, but what does it an for , eternally trapped here?"
「...」
Li Banfeng pushed himself up in the tangled grass; he was still alive.
His leg was broken. He couldn’t stand, so he used his arms to drag himself desperately to the gate.
He closed the gate and pulled a vine from his waist, threading it through the two rings on the gate panels.
This vine was very tough; even a knife couldn’t cut it.
Leaning his back against the gate, he used the vine to bind himself to it.
BANG!
The gate panel shuddered, and Li Banfeng vomited blood.
The blood was rank and salty.
BANG!
Qiu Luoye slamd into the barrier again.
Darkness consud Li Banfeng’s vision.
BANG!
Li Banfeng felt no pain. He felt nothing at all, only aware that blood kept gushing from his mouth.
BANG!
I don’t know your na.
BANG!
You probably don’t know mine either.
BANG!
From the day we t, you called husband, and I called you wife.
BANG!
Wife, wait for to co back.
BANG!
That ti I returned, I brought Straw Moth Lady into our ho.
BANG!
I’ve wronged you.
BANG!
You sent to the outer chamber. I stood outside the door, listening as you and Straw Moth Lady fought for your lives... I stood outside the door...
BANG!
I knew you were fighting desperately against the Bagworm Moth. You saved , but I couldn’t save you, and you were so terribly injured. I’ve wronged you...
BANG!
That ti, I couldn’t save you.
BANG!
This ti, you must wait for . Wait for to co back.
BANG!
The vine snapped.
A bloodied Li Banfeng lay sprawled on the ground.
CREEEAAAK...
The gate opened.
Qiu Luoye was right behind it.
The gate had opened two feet.
It needs to be closed.
Ti isn’t up yet.
It has to be closed.
The gate can’t be allowed to open to three feet...
Li Banfeng’s hands groped on the ground. He couldn’t stand up.
He lifted his head, trying to see the ti on the Month Plate.
At the entrance to the canyon, a colossal figure appeared.
Straw Moth Lady...
How could just thinking of Straw Moth Lady make her appear?
A hallucination?
No, it wasn’t a hallucination.
Ma Wu, riding Yanzi, rushed to Li Banfeng’s side.
"Waterfall Gate!" Yanzi recognized the Spiritual Object and imdiately braced against the gate panels.
BANG!
Yanzi was thrown back slightly. Ma Wu stepped forward and slamd the gate shut.
BANG!
Ma Wu was sent flying, the bones in his left arm shattered. Zuo Wugang stepped forward and closed the gate.
BANG!
Zuo Wugang retreated two steps. Xianxian and Qiaocui charged forward, and the three Bagworm Moths held the gate together.
BANG!
Ma Wu charged back in.
BANG!
Xiao Genzi and Xiao Chuanzi rushed up together to hold the gate!
BANG!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
「...」
After they held on for over a minute, silence fell outside the gate.
Did Qiu Luoye stop ramming it?
Could he no longer break through?
That’s impossible.
Had the gate’s barrier failed?
Li Banfeng looked at the clock on the Month Plate.
5:19.
Not yet 5:20.
How is that possible...
There should still be ti...
How could the Waterfall Gate have failed to hold?
From mid-air ca the voice of Shui Yongquan, "Qiu Luoye, you’ve lost."
A flower appeared on Li Banfeng’s hand, its petals revolving around its core.
PS: Wife, wait for Ban Feng to return.
