Chapter 381 - Caught between the rock and a hard place(Part-2)

"Your fire is really very strong", Ryuu complimented her upon seeing her white hot flame devouring them like a hungry tiger does to piglets.

Frost Flames simply gave him a slight bow as she spoke, "Please brother Ryuu you yourself are going hand in hand with me, so please do not praise me for something you can accomplish as well very easily."

Ryuu send a smirk as he folded the palm of his hand to make a fist, the fire rushed towards his hand as whip made up of pure fire appeared in his hand, even after the heat and flame killed many of the creatures, it did not deter them as they rushed towards him Ryuu fought back with his whip, he swung his head as the crack of the whip was heard, followed by howl of a beast that died soon after, as being cut down in almost half and getting roasted was not a good combination to stay alive.

Frost Flames snorted at that as she spoke with a smile, "Show off."

Then she mimicked Ryuu's whip and dealt similar damage then something happened that made their eyes go wide the dead creatures suddenly seemed to melt releasing acidic fumes then from the melted goo another two smaller version of them appeared.

"What is in the Heaven's name is that? If we they are getting reborn like this then…..", both Frost Flames and Ryuu had a look of horror as the horrible realization dawned.

Ryuu spoke barely above a whisper, "We are so screwed we have killed so many of them and by now the rest of us should have appear….."

Whatever he were about to say was stuck in his lips as the ground beneath the exploded making them jump up to the sky a few dozen creatures exited from the hole in the ground, as they tried to move up even further they get stuck in what seemed to be web of some sort.

Frost Flames tried to free herself but it was all for naught, as was it for Ryuu who frowned before he spoke in alarm, "The webs are leaching off our KI and using it to keep us in place."

Frost Flames eyes narrowed as she spoke, "Well we can certainly try and stop the KI and maybe use our physical strength to escape although the flames….."

Ryuu nodded at that as he had arrived at the same conclusion as he spoke, "Well they might be able to douse is since our KI is not fueling the fire but it would take some time and if we hurry up then we can refuel it, though this time I propose that we should not hold back."

Frost Flames looked directly into his eyes as she relented, "Well I will follow your plan, and also we should remember turn to them into ash as soon as we are free from it and hope they cannot be born from it."

With the plan in place they acted upon it, but unfortunately for them the plan failed, no matter what they do they were unable to get out of their current predicament as the hold of the web bigger better and better with each passing second.

Ryuu gritted his teeth at that as he spoke, "This is not working we have to go all out and try to free ourselves from it, they are nearing our position and at this rate we will be dead."

Frost Flames bit her lips she never wanted to expose her true strength but the situation forced her hand as such she spoke with a sigh, "The reinforcements are surely taking their time."

Ryuu grunted as he replied to her, "They might have got caught in similar situation as us, we are alone for now."

Frost Flames sighed as she spoke, "Try not to die."

Ryuu would have like to grin back at her but unfortunately his head was already stuck and he was unable to move it, as he spoke, "Well same goes for you."

Frost Flames giggled at that as she released her full might, meanwhile Ryuu did exactly the opposite for him releasing his full might means exposing the fact that he poses a divine body as such he concentrated on the Dao, he used the Grand Dao of Alchemy to analyze the composition of the web as well as try to find its weak point while using the Grand Dao of Sword augmented by the Dao of Fire and Lightning to severe it.

Frost Flames was struggling hard using her full strength she had managed to wedge herself from most of the web, her clothes were torn and ruined because of it, the creatures had managed to reach within striking distance from them yet Ryuu had yet to make his move, her brows furrowed she was in no position to properly defend herself let alone Ryuu who was a bit away from her as she shouted out, "Brother Ryuu, RYUUU PLEASE BE QUICK!!!!"

Seeing him not moving at all whereas the creature was about to break its legs down on Ryuu in order to kill him made Frost Flames fill with despair she let out a cry of anguish as she saw Ryuu drop his sword from his hand signifying him surrendering to the inevitable.

'Requiem' fell from Ryuu's hand only to stop a couple of meters away from him before it glowed as it caught fire with lighting coursing through it, then it let out a torrent of potent slices towards Ryuu, each slice was actually sword force that was empowered by Ryuu's understanding of the Grand Dao of Sword, which was further enhanced by the Dao of Fire, Lightning and Poison courtesy of the Grand Dao of Alchemy.

At first Frost Flames was bewildered upon seeing Ryuu's sword attacking him but her eyes widen in amazement as those sword attacks seemed to gentle caress Ryuu before tearing the web asunder not only that the sword continued attacking each and every creature that had dared to attack them, but each attack was different than before even if it scratched the creatures it instantly lit them aflame and the heat of the blue flames was something that made even her wary of them, after all anything that touched by those flames turned to ash.

Ryuu slowly moved from his position as he looked at his handiwork before he spoke with a grin, "Seems like we have freed ourselves from…oofff!!!", Ryuu was stopped by a bone crushing hug before he was slapped.

Ryuu saw red at that no one touches him like that only to stop upon seeing a teary eyed Frost Flames looking at him as she spoke in a quavering voice, "Never do something so stupid like that I though you would die, how heartless can you be."

Ryuu was taken aback by that before he spoke, "Sorry if I scared you like that.", before he was aware of state of Frost Flames dress well here lack of proper clothing as most were torn asunder revealing a little bit more skin that she would have liked and normally Ryuu was not that much worried about nudity after all his teachers as well as sisters have drilled into his head that if you care about modesty during battle you might die and had conditioned him not to feel anything even if he was tossed in a battlefield completely n.a.k.e.d but others might not have conditioned as such as such he turned his back on her as he spoke, "Sister Frost Flames your clothes are in disarray so please kindly fix your attire and till then I will hold the enemies down."

Frost Flames was red in embarrassment as she quickly fumbled for words before she fixed her dress by covering herself with cloak for the time being, upon which Ryuu turned to face her while he extended his hand his sword flew back into his welcoming grasp, Ryuu looked at it lovingly before place a small kiss on the blade of his sword as he whispered, "I could always count on you."

Frost Flames looked at Ryuu her normal cold look was back as she spoke, "I forgot that you were a Hybrid cultivator."

Ryuu gave an uneasy laugh as he spoke, "Me too sister me too."

Frost Flames looked towards a certain direction before she spoke in a vulnerable voice, "Brother Ryuu I am sorry I reacted so badly and I…..I am sorry for that."

Ryuu waved her off as he spoke, "I understand but it seems our reinforcement is here.", they could hear the shouts and the sound of battle nearby.

He looked towards her as he spoke, "Let us go and join them."
