Given Ye Chen's current state, his physical strength had already been overdrawn to the limit. Coupled with carrying Su Xiyue, they were relying entirely on their willpower, mechanically swimming towards the small island.
Ye Chen had been through many battles but had never been in as sorry a state as he was now.
With Ye Chen's help, Su Xiyue slowly regained a bit of her strength and then, supporting each other, they clumsily swam toward the small island, staggering in the direction of life.
Just as their strength was about to be completely sapped, Ye Chen and Su Xiyue finally neared the small island and were pushed onto its shores by a wave.
"Ye Chen, we're saved,"
Su Xiyue and Ye Chen lay on the sandy beach, speaking weakly.
A smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips before he collapsed onto the sand, and both of them passed out.
