Boom…

Swallowed!

Once the Jade Water Elixir entered his throat, it turned into a patch of coolness and suppressed the wave of fire in his arm. He didn’t remove his hand from LI Xuexiao, although he very much wanted to do so. However, Li Xuexiao was in danger. If he removed his hand and didn’t help her endure some of the impact, she might not be able to get through the next bombardment. He had the Jade Water Elixirs for support, but she had nothing.

When Du Lengning stuffed the last two Jade Water Elixirs into his mouth, the demon had already prepared its next attack. It sent out three greenish-red fireballs in succession. It was obvious the demon was also consuming a substantial amount of its spiritual energy. The fourth fireball was the same size as the first fireball.

When Du Lengning saw that last fireball, he felt increased confidence. This must be the demon’s final attack. As long as we manage to hold on, the demon will definitely fall to the Immortals!

However, the people from Faraway Hall were in even worse states. If Du Lengning looked back and saw his staggering and injured fellow disciples, he would not be so optimistic.

Bang!

It was the last round of attacks, and the explosions struck swiftly and furiously. Barraged by the attacks, Li Xuexiao—who was in the energy center of the array position—could no longer hold on. Her entire body shook from the impact. Du Lengning’s palm felt Li Xuexiao’s body heat up. She had been hit by the demon’s fireballs. Her body then sagged and collapsed to the ground.

A burst of power traveled through Du Lengning’s palm. There was chaos inside his body, and together with Li Xuexiao, he fell…

Li Xuexiao shouted in fright as she watched Du Lengning fall toward her like a domino, pushing her down. However, at this moment, the formation had broken. The demon had escaped, and the situation was chaotic. Screams, howls, and curses were all jumbled up; nobody noticed her exclamation.

Du Lengning kept the two Jade Water Elixirs in his mouth but didn’t swallow them. This attack was not that powerful. If he swallowed the elixirs, he would be able to suppress the fire that ran through his body, but he did not.

The fire ran amok in his body. It rampantly destroyed his meridians and absorbed his Immortal power. Du Lengning’s limbs were stiff, and he could no longer move. With his eyes wide open, he used all his strength to adjust his body to ensure that his lips would be pressed against Li Xuexiao’s cherry red lips when he fell…

“Ahh…” Like Du Lengning, Li Xuexiao couldn’t move either. She felt embarrassed and angry. Suddenly, there was a chill from between her lips, and two Jade Water Elixirs slid into her mouth. The Jade Water Elixirs were coated with Du Lengning’s saliva. As soon as they entered her mouth, they immediately slid into her throat, turning into a refreshing wave that suppressed the fire in her body!

The array fell apart. Zuo Lingchuan roared. “The demon is like a strong arrow at the end of its flight, spent and weakened! Everyone, work together and destroy it!”

The Zuo Family forces took the lead and attacked from the flanks, intercepting the orb of green light. Even without his shout, the Immortals present all had sharp eyes; it was not possible for them to miss this opening. The seven sects swarmed up and were all close on the tail of the green light orb in an instant.

The orb of green light had seized the opportunity and fled quickly. It was intent on leaving, and nobody could catch up. After all, the demon’s capabilities were far above everyone else’s. It had been in a series of fierce battles, and it was severely worn out, but it had not been seriously injured.

Fortunately, it was eager to flee and had no time to kill the Faraway Hall members who had fallen on the ground. As a cold wind blew past, Li Xuexiao shivered. It was then that she realized she could move again! At this time, she noticed that Du Lengning had kissed her lips for a while. Regaining full clarity of her thoughts, she felt a breath of manly air flowing into her nostrils. The two of them were in such close proximity, breathing in the same air. The air came out of Du Lengning’s nostrils and entered Li Xuexiao’s nostrils. She felt a strange emotion which confused her.

When the Jade Water Elixirs slipped past her lips, she understood that Du Lengning was not deliberately taking advantage of her. Seeing that he was willing to sacrifice himself and save her, Li Xuexiao was deeply moved. Li Xuexiao—who had never been in such close contact with a man—opened her eyes wide and looked at Du Lengning, who was frozen stiff. Her brain was in chaos, and she forgot to push him away.

Du Lengning looked at Li Xuexiao. He had never thought that the ice princess’s figure was so hot! Although he had no control over his body, his sense of touch had become more acute. There was a fire in his body, but two balls of fire on her chest! Du Lengning couldn’t help but gasp. Those two soft balls of fire were in no way less powerful than the poisonous fire in his body. They wobbled. Du Lengning felt his internal energy—which was originally already not very stable—once again surging!

But the girl seemed to have been frightened stupid. She simply stared at him, frozen solid. She had shivered earlier, so she likely could already move. Although Du Lengning was very much taken with the two balls of soft fire, he didn’t want to die because of them. He struggled to make a sound. He had originally wanted to say ‘save me,’ but the words turned into a groan. However, it was enough. The groan reverberated in Li Xuexiao’s ears like a bomb in the quiet of winter. Li Xuexiao trembled again, and she flipped Du Lengning off her.

Zuo Lingchuan saw that no one could catch up with the demon, so he released his ‘Great Blizzard Sword.’ It split the sky and flew toward the orb of green light. Today was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he did not destroy the demon that day, the opportunity would be lost. It would be impossible to get another such opportunity!

The Great Blizzard Sword was Zuo Lingchuan’s natal magic weapon. It had been tempered with his essence and blood for hundreds of years. When the sword was released, it caused the wind and the clouds to change suddenly. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell from the sky, and an icy cold light shot toward the demon.

Although the demon was exhausted, it was not afraid when faced with such a powerful Immortal Artifact. From its two cold, black and red eyes, two red lightning bolts shot out and ensnared the cold beam of light with a ‘swish’ like electric snakes. The two forces began to rip each other apart. Zuo Lingchuan made seals with both hands and manipulated the flying sword from a distance. However, he was physically unable to continue chasing the demon.

Once Zuo Lingchuan ensnared the demon, the others followed suit and activated their magical artifacts. Instantly, a brilliant glare of light enveloped the orb of light. In the chaos, no less than 300 different Immortal Artifacts had concentrated their attacks on the demon.

Explosions were heard one after another, sounding like a machine gun. The flares from the attacks flashed one after another. They merged together, making it difficult to distinguish one attack from another. Hundreds of Immortal Artifacts attacked together. Although they weren’t completely in sync, their destructive power was enough to destroy the world. The demon didn’t have a Da Luo Golden Immortal’s indestructible body, so how could it withstand the attacks?

Amidst the patches of light, a hazy green light floated upwards. The body of the demon had been completely torn apart; nothing was left whole.

Zuo Lingchuan’s Great Blizzard Sword lost its target and fell from the air. Its cold aura just happened to cut off a huge chunk of the hazy green light. Zuo Lingchuan shouted, “Everyone, be careful. Don’t let the demon’s soul escape!”

The demon only had less than one-third of its original soul left. Although it was weak, it was not restrained by its body, causing its speed to increase. Everyone wanted a repeat of their earlier victory, but the demon was so fast that even their Immortal Artifacts could not catch it.

Luo Qian had quietly looked for a place where he could hide after the demon breathed out the green-red flames. This level of battle was not something he could participate in. There was no need to even think of making a cameo appearance out of friendship.

However, he heard Li Xuexiao’s voice at this moment. “Mr. Luo, Lengning is seriously injured. Do you still have any elixirs?”

Du Lengning was his brother. Although Luo Qian was afraid of death, he still had enough loyalty to his friend to be willing to go through hell and high water for him. He exited from his hiding place despite his reservations, a Jade Water Elixir in his hand. “I still…”

Before he could even finish shouting his response, a green light zoomed towards his face. Luo Qian looked regretfully at Du Lengning in the distance. He had already gotten his wish and was lying in Li Xuexiao’s arms. As for him…

Hitting geese all day, they would come a day when the geese pecked your eyes. It was inevitable that his shoes would get wet if he walked by the river all the time; three-year-olds occasionally won over their mothers. Even a highly skilled general could not guarantee that he would not make any mistakes. Despite taking all precautions or being highly skilled, it was inevitable that there would be times when things went wrong.

Luo Qian was full of regrets. He was like a good swimmer who somehow drowned. He was doing business all the time. There was bound to be a day when he made a loss. It was just that this time, it was too big a loss. He had not even made any money from this war, yet the demon had already eaten him.

Bang!

Luo Qian floated up weightlessly after being hit, and the demon’s soul planted itself into his body heavily. Zuo Lingchuan then rushed over, waving his Great Blizzard Sword. A blizzard engulfed the demon’s soul and completely destroyed it!

The poison of the jade fire in the demon soul was injected into Luo Qian’s body. Luo Qian’s thoughts tumbled, and his chest felt dull. Then, his consciousness was plunged into darkness…

Zuo Lingchuan had finally taken revenge on the one who had destroyed his family. He turned back to look at the Zuo Family disciples. They were all miserable and exhausted. The disciples supported each other with scars on their faces, hands, and bodies. Their clothes were in disarray. He felt not the slightest hint of what should have been the joy of revenge. Instead, he felt sorrow surge into his mind. He couldn’t help but laugh maniacally up at the sky, his voice melancholic!

Du Lengning saw Luo Qian being knocked into the air. He knew exactly what Luo Qian was. He knew that Luo Qian couldn’t withstand the demon soul’s fire poison at all. His helplessness was compounded by his inability to speak or move. He could only stare. There was nothing he could do to help Luo Qian at all.

Li Xuexiao quickly carried him and ran to Luo Qian’s side. She found five Jade Water Elixirs in the grass next to him and quickly fed them to Du Lengning. After a long while, Du Lengning was finally able to move his hands and feet a little. Sudden grief rose unbidden in him, and he flung himself on Luo Qian. He cried loudly, “Old Luo, Old Luo, wake up. It’s all my fault; I got you into this. Old Luo, Old Luo…”

Du Lengning hugged Luo Qian’s corpse, crying miserably. Unexpectedly, the weight in his arms suddenly disappeared, and a white light danced in front of him. Luo Qian’s corpse was wrapped up in the jade-like white light; it then soared into the sky as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it could no longer be seen!

“Zheng Daoguang from the Imperial Guards is here. What demon dared to disturb the peace in the Immortal Realm!” A splendid celestial armor flashed in the east. A group of Immortal officials from the Imperial Guards—who were responsible for the Immortal Realm’s public security, much like the police in the Human Realm—had finally arrived after everything was over.
