Chapter 290: Fierce Battle with Shadow Beast
Wei Wuxian took a few steps and stopped.
"Lan Zhan, let me take Little Apple! Can you hold my hand and walk with me?"
"it is good!"
Wei Wuxian took the little apple out of the storage space.
Wei Wuxian circled around the little apple, "Lan Zhan, even the hair on this little apple has become shiny in this space!"
"It's much better!"
Wei Wuxian jumped up and sat on the donkey's back.
Lan Wangji naturally took up the donkey rope.
The two walked slowly along the path, the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows.
Wei Wuxian hummed an unknown little tune, and from time to time reached out to pluck the grass leaves on the roadside to play with them.
Lan Wangji had a calm expression on his face, but his eyes kept unconsciously looking at the person on the donkey.
Lan Wangji was holding the donkey's leash, Little Apple was walking slowly, and Wei Wuxian was sitting on the donkey's back. He looked relaxed, but his eyes were full of vigilance.
They searched for the Shadow Beast all the way, this mysterious and dangerous monster, and they didn't know what kind of waves it would cause at any time.
That day, they finally found the Shadow Beast.
It was a desolate valley, where the shadow beast was wreaking havoc, and the surrounding vegetation was destroyed by its powerful force.
Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he instantly jumped off Little Apple's back, putting Little Apple into the space.
He held Suibian tightly, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.
"Lan Zhan, why does it feel like it doesn't look like it was injured before?" Wei Wuxian said to Lan Wangji while staring at the shadow beast vigilantly.
Lan Wangji held the Bichen in his hand, his eyes stern, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful!"
After saying that, the two of them rushed towards Shadow Beast at the same time in tacit understanding.
Wei Wuxian's figure was as fast as lightning, and he swung the sword in his hand, releasing sharp sword energy and heading straight for the shadow beast.
The Shadow Beast was incredibly agile, deftly dodging Wei WuXian's attacks. Despite its massive size, it was incredibly fast, stirring up a gust of wind with every movement.
Undeterred, Wei WuXian continued his attacks, unleashing a variety of sword techniques, sometimes swift as thunder, sometimes as agile as a snake.
However, the Shadow Beast's defense was extremely strong, and Wei Wuxian's attacks seemed unlikely to cause any substantial damage to it.
Lan Wangji also attacked with all his might. The Bichen Sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and every swing of the sword brought with it a powerful spiritual force.
He and Wei Wuxian cooperated with each other, trying to find the shadow beast's weakness.
During the fight, Wei Wuxian felt increasingly exhausted.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his breathing became rapid, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to back down.
He knew that now was not the time to give up, they had to defeat the Shadow Beast, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
The shadow beast seemed to sense that Wei Wuxian was exhausted, and a hint of cunning flashed in its eyes.
Suddenly, it attacked Wei WuXian with such speed that Wei WuXian had no time to react.
Lan Wangji's heart tightened, and he wanted to stop it but it was too late.
Wei Wuxian was struck by the shadow beast's attack and took several steps back before steadying himself. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and a fishy-sweet taste welled up in his mouth.
"Wei Ying." Lan Wangji's heart skipped a beat and he called out worriedly.
Wei Wuxian shook his head, suppressing the pain and saying, "Lan Zhan, I'm fine."
Seeing this, Lan Wangji knew that he couldn't delay any longer.
He quickly took out his Wangjiqin and flicked his fingers lightly, causing the strings to emit a crisp sound. He began to use the String Killing Technique. Powerful spiritual power surged from the piano sound, transforming into invisible blades that flew towards the Shadow Beast.
Wei Wuxian also cheered up and raised the Suibian Sword again to cooperate with Lan Wangji.
Their combined attacks lashed out at Shadow Beast like a violent storm. Although powerful, Shadow Beast gradually began to show signs of fatigue under their combined attacks.
Finally, with their unremitting efforts, the Shadow Beast was successfully killed.
However, Wei Wuxian also fainted due to exhaustion.
Lan Wangji rushed to Wei Wuxian and held him in his arms. His eyes were filled with concern and heartache, and he called out softly, "Wei Ying!"
However, Wei WuXian did not respond.
Lan Wangji picked up Wei Wuxian and used the teleportation array to quickly return to the Cloud Recesses.
He gently placed Wei Wuxian on the bed in the quiet room, fetched some clean water, and carefully wiped the sweat and dust off Wei Wuxian's face with a handkerchief.
Lan Wangji frowned, his eyes full of self-blame. If he were stronger, Wei Wuxian would not be injured like this.
