A life-and-death chase began. Nezha held the increasingly weak Ao Bing in his arms, pushing himself to run toward the light gate with all his might. Behind them, Lady Shiji's fiery chains lashed out repeatedly, narrowly missing them several times.
"Just a little longer, Ao Bing," Nezha gasped, "We're almost there!"
Ao Bing nodded weakly, but his body had become nearly transparent, his life force rapidly fading. Just as they were only a few steps away from the light gate, Ao Bing suddenly coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"This is bad!" Nezha felt a tightening in his chest; Ao Bing's condition was worse than he had imagined.
"Nezha... I might not... make it to the exit..." Ao Bing said weakly, "You... you go ahead..."
"Shut up!" Nezha shouted angrily, "We're leaving together; not one of us will be left behind!"
At that critical moment, a fiery chain from Lady Shiji suddenly struck from the side. Nezha had no time to dodge and could only brace himself for the blow. The searing pain coursed through his body, but he gritted his teeth and continued to run forward.
"Just a little more, Ao Bing!" Nezha encouraged, "Hang in there!"
Finally, as another wave of attack from Lady Shiji approached, Nezha dashed into the light gate with Ao Bing in his arms. Blinding white light enveloped them, the world began to spin, and consciousness slipped back into darkness.
When Nezha regained consciousness, he found himself back inside the Crystal Palace of the Dragon Palace, surrounded by anxious Dragon Clan Healers and elders. He urgently searched for Ao Bing and found him lying on a nearby bed, his complexion even paler than before, barely clinging to life.
"Ao Bing!" Nezha struggled to rise and rushed to Ao Bing's bedside. "How are you? Wake up!"
Ao Lie approached with a grave expression. "The situation is dire. Although you successfully escaped from the Soul Realm, Ao Bing's soul has suffered severe damage and his life force is rapidly depleting."
"There must be a way to save him!" Nezha shouted in near despair. "I won't let him die like this!"
The Dragon Clan Healers shook their heads in sorrow. "We have done our best, but His Highness's condition is too critical. At this rate, he may not survive the night."
Nezha felt dizzy as if the world was spinning around him; he could hardly believe that after everything they had been through and the great risks they had taken, Ao Bing was still going to leave him. It felt like the cruelest joke in the world.
"No, I won't accept this," Nezha stubbornly grasped Ao Bing's hand. "There has to be a way; there must be..."
Ao Lie hesitated before gently patting Nezha's shoulder. "I understand how you feel, but some things are beyond our control."
"No!" Nezha suddenly shook off Ao Lie's hand. "I won't give up; I can't lose him!"
He leaned closer to Ao Bing, gazing at his nearly transparent face with a heart full of anguish. Ao Bing's breaths grew weaker; his lips had lost all color, and he seemed on the verge of fading away completely.
"Ao Bing," Nezha's voice trembled with emotion, "You promised you'd come back. You promised we would face everything together... You can't just leave like this..."
Tears fell onto Ao Bing's face as Nezha felt his heart shatter. They had endured so much together and finally broken free from the fate tied to the Demon Orb and Dragon Tribe, only to be cruelly separated now.
The surrounding Dragon Clan Healers and elders wore expressions of deep sorrow, yet no one could offer a solution. Ao Lie stood nearby with tears glistening in his eyes; despite their past conflicts, blood was thicker than water, and brotherly love remained strong.
"I don't know what else I can do..." Ao Lie said softly, his voice filled with a sense of helplessness.
Nezha suddenly remembered something and sprang to his feet. "The Lady of Shi Ji mentioned that she has a connection with Ao Bing's soul, which is why his soul remains stable. If we could find a new source of power, perhaps it could replace that connection?"
"In theory, it's feasible," an elder Dragon Clan Healer replied. "However, it requires an energy that is highly compatible with the Crown Prince's soul. We have already tried the energy from the Dragon Tribe, but it cannot fully match."
