Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The huge Golden Coffin flew to the sky, becoming a little black dot before vanishing.
Yu Lingxu was falling. He had already thrown his iron rod away a while ago. Right now, he was falling, bare-handed. Yet, there was still a hint of evil spirit within him. The evil spirit spread around, making Lu Li and the others feel suffocated.
"Little White!"
At that critical moment, Lu Li shouted. Little White rushed over to bite the black vines on Bai Qiuxue’s body off.
Bai Qiuxue made up her mind and charged towards Yu Lingxu as a purple moon glowed on her neck. Ye Yuhan had passed out, Ye Longyu was badly injured, and Zi Lian had collapsed to the ground. The only one here that could fight Yu Lingxu was Bai Qiuxue.
She had taken a healing pellet so the bleeding on the back of her head had stopped. Still, she looked pale. She carried a silver sword in her hand, and the purple moon was flying around her. She was ready to fight with all she had got.
"Hmm!"
Suddenly, black air surged out of Yu Lingxu’s body. Granted, it was not as profound as before, but small ghost faces could still be condensed. Those ghost faces flew around his body. He rushed over to grab his iron rod. With a backhand move, he smashed the rod at Bai Qiuxue.
"Hoy!"
Bai Qiuxue shouted. The long sword in her hand morphed into streaks of silver light which were intertwined together. It even looked like pear flowers dancing around in heaven. Clearly, it was a very powerful Xuan Skill.
"Die!"
Yu Lingxu bellowed. The ghost faces around his body charged forward one after another, smashing against Bai Qiuxue’s body easily. In the meantime, the purple moon of Bai Qiuxue flew over to cut at Yu Lingxu’s thigh silently.
"Bang!"
Bai Qiuxue was sent into flying backwards with blood spilling out of her mouth. Yu Lingxu quickly stepped backward. There was a deep and bloody wound on his thigh but it was not cut off.
"We are going to die…"
Obviously, it was Yu Lingxu, not that old demon anymore. However, it seemed…he was given some sort of power by that old demon. He had been given an order to kill everyone. Nobody present here was his match.
"What to do?"
Lu Li became surprisingly calm at this critical moment. In just the time for one breath, dozens of ideas sprang to his mind. He didn’t want to die, either. Only by conjuring up a way to kill Yu Lingxu would they be able to live on.
In the end, he found a way that was not the best. His eyes showed that he was resolute. The ring in his hand glowed and a transparent jade vase emerged in his hand. In the vase, drip of blood was emitting strange qi and mighty energy.
The original essential blood!
Lu Li was ready to take it, sink or swim. He wanted to use his original essential blood which origin was not clear. This was his last hope.
When the blood was presented at the auction house, his own blood was boiling. The silver dragon pattern on his back glowed. There was a clear message in his head that this blood would be extremely helpful to his Silver Dragon Bloodline.
However, since the origin of the blood was unclear, and so was its property, Lu Li had been afraid to use it for fear that his body might exploded. At this moment, however, he couldn’t worry about so many things. He might not have a chance to use it again if not now.
Against all the pain, he managed to lift his hand, open the cap and poured the drip of blood into his mouth.
"Swish, swish!"
Promptly, the blood swam into his body. A surge of wild a furious energy instantly spread around his body to every muscle, every blood vessel and every inch of skin.
"Ah…"
Lu Li cried out miserably as he rolled around on the ground. At that moment, he felt he had fallen to lava. Every inch of his skin, every piece of his muscle, his blood and his bones were burning. From the depth of his soul, also came fits of heart-breaking pain.
Lu Li felt he was going to die, burnt to death alive.
"Buzzing!"
At the same time, the animal tooth pendant on his neck, and the silver dragon on his back all gave out glaring light. However, he was lying on his back so nobody else could see the glow on his back. The animal tooth was shining with dazzling brilliance.
Of course, nobody paid any attention to Lu Li’s situation. Ye Yuhan was still in coma. Zi Lian’s spirit was drooping. She looked at Yu Lingxu with a pale face. Bai Qiuxue was desperately fighting against Yu Lingxu so she couldn’t spare any time to look at Lu Li.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Only Little White was looking at Lu Li with worry. It cried out constantly. But Lu Li could hear nothing. He just screamed on and on.
"Eh?"
Finally, Lu Li’s scream caught Zi Lian’s attention. She threw a glance over but didn’t pay much attention. She was going to die now. Why would she worry about Lu Li?
She just looked at Yu Lingxu and Bai Qiuxue with concern. A bad feeling emerged on her mind. Would Yu Lingxu kill her as well in the end now that he couldn’t recognize her?
"Bang!"
After a while, Bia Qiuxue was smashed away yet again. Her chest was tainted red with blood. The blood of her own, blood that she spit out.
"Yu Lingxu, stop!"
Seeing that Bai Qiuxue struggled to stand up but failed, Zi Lian cried out in her delicate voice.
She was the princess of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Usually, she was Yu Lingxu’s bellwether. Right now, she was trying to see if she could stop Yu Lingxu’s vicious actions.
She cried out. She looked at Yu Lingxu with coldness in her eyes and said, "Yu Lingxu, wake up! If you go on like this, the Yu Family will be destroyed because of you."
Now the sound of Lu Li’s bellowing fell. Yu Lingxu, on hearing Zi Lian’s voice, turned around slowly. A trace of struggle showed up in his blood red eyes. Then he walked over to Zi Lian, step by step.
"Swish~"
The huge iron rod smashed on Zi Lian’s shoulder. She was knocked away and was again entangled by the black vines. Now the black vines were smashed away with her. The left shoulder of Zi Lian was badly injured, covered in blood. She passed out and fell to the ground, maybe alive, maybe not…
"No!"
Bai Qiuxue saw this. She knew they were doomed. She made two attempts but still couldn’t stand up. Her body was again covered with black vines. She closed her eyes in desperation. It had come down to this. Even god couldn’t say her now.
"Shuang-er, I must leave the world ahead of you."
Bai Xiashuang’s image showed up in Bai Qiuxue’s mind. The latter became worried. After Yu Lingxu put on a killing spree here, would he go down the mountain to attack Bai Xiashuang and the others? However, on second thoughts, Bai Qiuxue was slightly relieved as she remembered there were so many people there.
"Eh? Since when did Lu Li stop yelling?"
Only at this moment did Bai Qiuxue thought of Lu Li’s miserable cries. She turned her head around with surprise. Her eyebrows were knitted together. Shock was written all over her blood covered face.
Because…
There should be many places on Lu Li’s body that were burnt, especially on his hands and feet. Yet now the scabs were falling. Skins tender and smooth as baby skins grow out.
Lu Li was fed with top level healing pellet. Still, he couldn’t have recovered, not until several hours later. Also, recovery wouldn’t be this good, with no scars left.
"So the animal tooth pendant is a treasure?"
Bai Qiuxue was curious, looking at the animal tooth pendant still flickering on Lu Li’s neck. Nevertheless, her eyes dimmed down again when she remembered that she and Lu Li were going to die.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Yu Lingxu walked over, one step at a time. He looked like the knell of death. Strange thing it was. The black vines were not approaching him. It was as if they were afraid of the black air outside of his body.
"Die!"
Carrying the huge iron rod in his hand, Yu Lingxu’s eyes were red and evil spirit spread out around his body. He looked like a demonic god from the ancient times. His eyes were locked on Bai Qiuxue. Blood was still dripping on his iron rod. He was ready with kill Bai Qiuxue with one swing of his rod.
"Crack, crack~!"
Right at that time, Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes. He waved his hand and stood up.
He twisted his body. Scabs fell, piece by piece. He locked his eyes glowing in silver light on Yu Lingxu and said, "Yu Lingxu, now that you are possessed by demons, I will send you to the underworld."
