Chapter 1101 - 601: No Other Choice
But no matter what, the opponent will not miss the opportunity to finish her here. As expected, several figures sprang out from the dense fog, pouncing on Qi Zai and her without hesitation, and precisely cutting off the road between her and her subordinates!
She didn’t need to use Divine Thought to inspect, she knew her physical condition must be terribly bad. Every small movement caused her strength to drain along with the blood, let alone maintaining such high-speed running and facing the enemies in front of her?
Fifty meters of distance felt like an unbridgeable chasm.
What should she do? She had a backup plan, but the assassin’s sharp thorn was still lodged in her body, she couldn’t execute it.
Ten breaths of time, she only needed ten breaths of time! But the few dark shadows pouncing towards her would never allow her a moment to catch her breath?
The most perilous moment since the westward journey was suddenly upon her in the supposedly safest Bai Yujing, right when she was about to fulfill her wishes.
Could it be that her efforts would go to waste? She refused to accept this; even if fate dictated so, she absolutely refused to surrender! Ning Xiaoxian bit down hard on her lip, nearly biting until it bled.
The dark shadow closest to her moved extremely fast, and in a blink, it was upon her. The strong bloody scent told him that his companion had succeeded; she was indeed seriously injured. His Ghost Head Saber mercilessly slashed down at her!
This slash was executed with perfect Divine Power, cutting through gold and jade!
He could even feel the sweeping Sword Energy like a snowy stream brushing past, moving the hair on her forehead, but in the next instant——
The prey disappeared.
Human transformation? The person couldn’t believe his eyes, glanced around, indeed no trace of the woman. "Could it be some sort of instant teleportation Magic?"
The other few also closed in, witnessed this scene firsthand, and were all stunned. They had just opened their mouths, not yet uttering a word when they appeared to hear a command, promptly shut their mouths, and went to besiege Qi Zai.
Ning Xiaoxian, at this moment, naturally entered the God Demon Prison. At the juncture of life and death, she couldn’t care less about keeping this secret.
Once she entered here, she felt entirely exhausted, softly sitting down on the ground.
"Changtian." She widened her eyes, softly calling to the figure shrouded in darkness at the center of the dim hall, as if he might respond, "Changtian."
After calling twice, she seemed to gather some courage, extended her intact left hand behind her to grope, grasping the part of the poison thorn exposed outside.
She took two deep breaths, then pulled hard!
"Hm—" She suppressed the pain, a low hum echoed in this wide space.
The poison thorn was pulled out very smoothly. Concerning her own body, the angle of extraction was quite meticulous, avoiding further damage to the kidneys. But——
Excruciating! The pain was nearly enough to make her faint! The thorn was covered with barbs, and her brute force extraction had gouged out her flesh. Despite her psychological preparation, this almost cost her life. Ning Xiaolian didn’t scream; she stared at the man before her, tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes. "It hurts, Changtian, it really hurts!"
After all, a girl, wounded, always prone to crying.
She sobbed and threw the blood-covered thorn aside, raised her head, and swallowed the prepared elixir.
This was a Spirit Pill — Soul Reviving Guide she never imagined she’d one day ingest. This Spirit Pill, preserved by Changtian and improved by the Alchemy Dao expert Xu Nongyou, can immediately heal all internal and external injuries after consumption, equivalent to a full revival on-site, except that afterward, one would fall unconscious for three days and nights and lose six to seven years of life span. Xu Nongyou also warned her back then that each person could only use it once a year; otherwise, forcing a second usage would cause the body to instantly collapse.
She had asked at the time what instant body collapse meant, and Xu Nongyou solemnly informed her it might resemble full-body paralysis and loss of control over bodily functions, unable to leave the bed for life, giving everyone present a chill.
She hadn’t expected she’d be driven to the brink, forced to swallow this medicine.
Since she had entered, the pressure Qi Zai faced would certainly increase. Ning Xiaoxian did not have time to be distracted, channeling Divine Power to assist the effect of the medicine to run through her body.
The Soul Reviving Guide originated from Changtian’s efforts, its effect truly miraculous. As soon as she swallowed it, the elixir dissolved into a stream entering her stomach, promptly bringing a warm current surging throughout her meridians, limbs, and bones. Where the warm flow reached, all injuries, illness, and pain disappeared completely. Thus, after five breaths, she felt each pore from head to toe indescribably pleasant, having inexhaustible strength at her fingertips, seemingly reborn, even better than before she was wounded. Compared to the previous hell-like pain, this was akin to heavenly enjoyment, she couldn’t help but utter a comfortable moan.
