Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2392: Rescue



Crackle!

Arcs of purple lightning danced around Linlin, a testament to her divine lineage. Each crackle of electricity sent shivers down the spines of her pursuers, a reminder of the devastating power she wielded. But they were ten, and she was one, exhausted and wounded from days of relentless pursuit.

"Stubborn girl," the blood-soaked elder sneered, his eyes gleaming with avarice. "Do you truly believe you can escape us? Your bloodline is a treasure, a gift to us from the heavens. We will have it, one way or another."

He lunged, his hand outstretched, claws tipped with a sickly green energy.

Linlin reacted instantly, her petite frame a blur of motion. She weaved through the incoming attacks, her agility defying the limitations of her human form. A bolt of lightning erupted from her fingertips, striking the elder's chest and sending him reeling back with a pained grunt.

The others pressed their attack, a cacophony of clashing weapons and guttural shouts. Linlin fought with the ferocity of a trapped beast, her lightning a weapon of both offense and defense. She struck with the speed and precision of a seasoned warrior, her every move imbued with the raw power of her divine bloodline.

But the relentless assault was taking its toll. Her movements grew sluggish, her breaths ragged. The chaotic energy of the battlefield, instead of replenishing her strength, seemed to drain her, weighing her down like an invisible burden.

A cultivator, seizing an opportunity, slashed at her back, leaving a deep gash that oozed golden blood.

"Ah!" Linlin cried out, stumbling forward. Pain flared through her, but she gritted her teeth, refusing to fall. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction.

"It's over, girl," another cultivator cackled, his sword dripping with her blood. "Accept your fate."

Linlin's vision blurred, her body swaying. She felt the cold grip of despair closing in, threatening to extinguish her fighting spirit. But then, a memory flashed through her mind, a vision of Yun Lintian, his gentle smile.

No, she thought, her spirit reigniting. I can't die here.

"Go to hell!!"

With a roar that shook the very ground, Linlin unleashed the full fury of her bloodline. The air crackled with an intensity that made the previous attacks seem like mere sparks. A storm of lightning erupted from her body, a blinding spectacle of raw power that sent her attackers scattering in terror.

BOOM!!

The ground beneath her feet cracked and splintered, forming a crater that pulsed with electric energy. Linlin, bathed in the blinding light, resembled a goddess of thunder, her eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity.

She raised her hand, and a bolt of lightning, thicker than any before, descended from the sky, striking the ground with earth-shattering force. The shockwave rippled outwards, throwing her attackers off their feet and sending them crashing into the jagged landscape.

Linlin seized the opportunity, her body surging with renewed strength. She moved like a phantom, her attacks a blur of lightning-fast strikes. Each hit carried the weight of her fury, the desperation of a cornered predator fighting for survival.

"ARGH!!"

One by one, her attackers fell, their bodies scorched and smoking, their cries of pain echoing through the desolate battlefield. Linlin, fueled by adrenaline and a desperate hope, fought like a demon possessed, her every move a dance of death.

But even as she pushed herself beyond her limits, she knew it wasn't enough. The chaotic energy continued to sap her strength, the wounds on her body burned with agonizing pain. She was a flickering flame, burning bright but destined to be extinguished.

However, the blood-soaked old man withstood her attack. He rose from the ground, his blood-red eyes glaring at Linlin furiously.

"Die!" he roared and launched his attack. A bloody claw emerged from the void, tearing through space toward Linlin.

"No..." Just as Linlin felt her strength failing, a figure appeared on the horizon, moving with impossible speed. A familiar voice, filled with concern and fury, echoed across the battlefield.

"Linlin!"

The voice cut through the chaos like a beacon, a lifeline in the storm. Linlin's heart leaped with a mixture of relief and disbelief. It couldn't be... could it?

Yun Lintian descended from the sky, his figure a blur of motion. His eyes, usually calm and gentle, now burned with an icy rage. He had seen the blood staining Linlin's white robes, the exhaustion etched on her face, and a primal fury unlike anything he had ever felt surged through his veins.

Before the blood-soaked elder could reach Linlin, Yun Lintian appeared before him, his hand outstretched. A terrifying power, the raw, untamed energy of the Tree of Life, surged forth, enveloping the elder in a blinding green light.

The elder's eyes widened in horror, his attack dissolving into nothingness. He tried to resist, to summon his own power, but it was futile.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Yun Lintian blasted the elder into oblivion. The old man's body disintegrated, his screams swallowed by the overwhelming power of the Tree of Life. Not even a speck of dust remained.

Yun Lintian reached Linlin's side in an instant, his eyes filled with concern.

"Linlin, are you alright?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.

Linlin, still reeling from the sudden turn of events, stared at him with wide eyes. She had never seen him like this, his aura radiating power and anger. It was both terrifying and

exhilarating.

"Big Brother Yun..." she whispered, her voice trembling.

It was then that Yun Lintian truly registered her appearance. He had only ever seen Linlin in her adorable white tiger form.

Now, standing before him was a young girl, no older than fourteen, with white hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall and eyes that shimmered like amethysts. Her features were delicate, almost ethereal, framed by a face that held both the innocence of youth and the strength of a warrior.

He was stunned. She was... breathtaking.

A faint blush crept onto Linlin's cheeks as she noticed his gaze. She lowered her head, suddenly self-conscious. "Big Brother Yun... is something wrong?"

Yun Lintian shook his head, snapping out of his momentary daze. "No, nothing's wrong. It's just... I've never seen you in this form before."

He gently lifted her chin, his eyes filled with warmth and concern. "You're hurt." Linlin winced as he touched the gash on her back. "It's nothing, Big Brother Yun. I can heal

it."

"Don't be stubborn," Yun Lintian chided gently. He channeled the life-giving energy of the Tree of Life into her wounds, the warm green light soothing her pain and accelerating the healing process...
