Just as they were about to reach the last step, suddenly, an even more powerful pressure erupted without warning.

This pressure was like a surging wave, pressing down on the four people with overwhelming force.

The originally relatively stable Jade Ruyi Shield instantly developed countless fine cracks under this powerful impact.

Yun Yifei's face turned pale in an instant. He tried desperately to inject spiritual power into Yu Ruyi, trying to maintain the stability of the shield, but the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

The sound waves emitted by Lin Mengqi's bell seemed to be cut off by an invisible hand in the face of this even more powerful pressure, and the crisp sound of the bell stopped abruptly.

The string of bells began to tremble violently, as if it would break at any moment.

The flowing light transformed from Duan Lingfeng's sword was dimmed by this pressure, and the sword body made a painful buzzing sound. Duan Lingfeng felt as if his arm was about to be torn off by this powerful force.

The golden light emitted from Chu Liyue's bronze mirror was retreating step by step under this pressure, and the narrow passage that was opened up was also closing rapidly, and was about to swallow her up again.

The four people's bodies were shaking under the sudden increase in pressure, and the hope that had just been ignited became precarious in an instant.

Ye Tianming and Su Yao watched this scene without blinking, their eyes couldn't help but be fixed on them, and they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for them.

In just this short period of time, the situation of several people became even more difficult.

"Click..."

The cracks on the jade ruyi became more and more dense, as if it would completely collapse in the next moment.

Yun Yifei's cheeks were covered with sweat and his face was as pale as paper, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, pouring his spiritual power into the jade ruyi without regard for his life.

His voice was shaking.

"Mengqi, don't be afraid, I will definitely take you upstairs!" Yun Yifei's eyes revealed determination and tension.

In the face of absolute pressure, they were as helpless as weak ants.

Lin Mengqi's face looked equally ugly, but she forced herself not to speak. She just tightly held the bell in her hand, looking at Yun Yifei with worry in her beautiful eyes.

She knew that Yun Yifei was fighting so hard for her, but how could she be willing to see him fall into danger for her?

Duan Lingfeng's sword had become dim and his arms were shaking, as if they would be broken at any time by the terrifying pressure.

Chu Liyue's bronze mirror also began to shake violently, and the light on the mirror flickered, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.

Once the light dissipated, Chu Liyue would surely be crushed into a bloody mist by the terrifying pressure, but he could not spare any spiritual power to help.

"Liyue, hold on!" Duan Lingfeng roared, his eyes red.

Chu Liyue smiled sadly and said weakly: "Ling Feng, I'm afraid... I can't do it anymore..."

"Don't talk nonsense! We agreed to inherit together and strengthen the sect together!" Duan Lingfeng's voice was choked with sobs. He had never thought that he would feel so powerless.

"Ling Feng, you know, it wouldn't be bad if we could... die together..." Chu Liyue's voice became weaker and weaker, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

"Liyue!" Duan Lingfeng's heart trembled suddenly. He wanted to reach out and grab Chu Liyue, but found that he could not move at all.

At this moment, Chu Liyue suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Mengqi and Yun Yifei with a firm gaze.

"Yifei, Mengqi... we have no hope... you... you must live... you must... strengthen the sect..."

Before she finished her words, Chu Liyue resolutely injected the last bit of her spiritual power into the bronze mirror.

Duan Lingfeng was surprised when he saw this, but he also seemed to have a tacit understanding.

A hint of determination flashed across his eyes, and he began to make the same decision.

He also poured all his strength into the sword.

Yun Yifei and Lin Mengqi immediately realized the intentions of the two men and let out heart-wrenching roars.

"No! Senior sister! Senior brother! Don't do that!"

They could no longer control their tears and they burst out.

"boom!"

Two powerful forces burst out instantly, tearing a hole in the terrifying pressure, and Chu Liyue and Duan Lingfeng's bodies also turned into starlight in the dazzling light and dissipated between heaven and earth...

"Senior Sister! Senior Brother!" Lin Mengqi and Yun Yifei were pushed out by a powerful force and fell heavily in front of the hall door.

The two of them ignored the excruciating pain and knelt on the ground helplessly, crying like rain.

Having lost their closest relatives, the pain in their hearts made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"They... are doing this for us..." Yun Yifei's voice trembled, his fists clenched tightly, his nails dug deep into the flesh, blood slowly flowed down between his fingers, but he was completely unaware.

"I know... I know everything..." Lin Mengqi burst into tears. She hugged Yun Yifei tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body.

"Senior Sister said before she died... let us live... to strengthen the sect..." Yun Yifei raised his head, his eyes showing an unprecedented determination, "We... can't let them down!"

"Yes! We must obtain the inheritance and strengthen the sect!" Lin Mengqi raised her head and looked at Yun Yifei with tearful eyes.

Yun Yifei took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in his heart, and nodded heavily.

The two men stood up and looked at the hall behind them, their eyes full of determination.

They knew that from this moment on, they shouldered greater responsibilities.

Ye Tianming, Su Yao and others looked at what was happening on the steps, with surprise and shock in their eyes.

Mu Feng was previously betrayed and abandoned by his former friend, and ended up being seriously injured and died.

But now, the four people from Lingyun Sect have demonstrated with practical actions what true selflessness and faith are.

In order to obtain the inheritance and strengthen the sect, Duan Lingfeng and Chu Liyue actually chose to sacrifice themselves, using their own lives to open a passage for Yun Yifei and Lin Mengqi.

Such heroism, such selflessness, and such cruelty all make people sigh.

Several people couldn't help but look at Yun Yifei and Lin Mengqi on the stairs.

At this moment, the backs of the two people looked particularly resolute.

I guess from now on, the two of them will no longer be simply themselves.

They carry the expectations of Duan Lingfeng and Chu Liyue.

That was bought at the cost of life.

This is the cruelty of cultivation.

If you want to become stronger, you have to pay a lot.

The same goes for them, with the last four steps.

Only by crossing over it can you have the opportunity to inherit.

The originally bustling staircase was now occupied by only him, Su Yao, and Yun Manyao.

There was howling wind all around and above the head was the hall that was about to open.

Hidden there is the Kunpeng inheritance that everyone is crazy about.

Ye Tianming's eyes were filled with unprecedented determination...
