In the span of just ten breaths, ti seed to fly by.
Gu Feng had thrown at least hundreds of punches!
The entire sky was filled with inexplicable fragnts of flesh and various debris.
These were the remnants of the Nine Tribulations' shattered body...
The effect of the Dao of Ti from the Three Lives Fish finally ca to an abrupt halt, reverting to the size of an ordinary wooden fish, quietly returning to Gu Feng's Spiritual Platform to rest in silence.
The spirit, Little Fish, had already fallen into a deep slumber, unable to awaken for several years.
Gu Feng's cultivation returned to the normal Golden Elixir Realm, and the aftereffects of forcibly using the Selfless Intent Fist suddenly struck.
His Eight Extraordinary ridians suffered a backlash from the fist intent, nearly tearing apart, and the True Core lay dormant within his spiritual sea, unable to activate any techniques for the ti being.
Otherwise, his ridians would surely rupture, leaving irreparable injuries.
Enduring the excruciating pain from the tearing of his ridians, Gu Feng's escape light appeared weak and dispirited. He quickly retreated, landing beside Fang Feixue, gasping for breath.
Fang Feixue supported Gu Feng and asked, "Is the Nine Tribulations dead?"
Looking at the floating mass of flesh and blood overhead, Gu Feng shook his head and replied, "I don't know..."
He was truly uncertain about the current state of the Nine Tribulations. Although Gu Feng had seemingly beaten him to pieces, he hadn't seen his Elental Infant or Spiritual Soul.
Cultivators are different from mortals; their Spiritual Soul is self-contained. Even if a Qi Refining Realm cultivator's body collapses, a wisp of their soul would remain, never disappearing so silently.
Unless Gu Feng had sohow destroyed his soul as well, but that possibility was very low.
Hou Yixiao was also looking around, crouching opposite Gu Feng and Fang Feixue, his beady eyes scanning back and forth vigilantly.
Suddenly, Hou Yixiao's eyes filled with terror, and he fell to the ground, pointing at Gu Feng and shouting, "Sequence! Behind you! Be careful!"
Hearing this, Gu Feng quickly turned his head.
He saw that only half of the Nine Tribulations Witch King's body remained, with black gas continuously dissipating from the wound. His Spiritual Soul was leaving his body!
Countless black gases erged from the Nine Tribulations' broken shell. His physical body had been destroyed beyond repair by Gu Feng, and his Spiritual Soul could no longer sustain itself.
If he didn't find a new body to inhabit now, the Nine Tribulations Witch King might have to walk the path of a ghost cultivator, existing purely as a spiritual entity, which he could not accept!
With his remaining right hand, he grabbed Gu Feng's face, the Nine Tribulations Witch King howling hysterically, "You wretched brat! You've forced to this point, I will extract your Golden Elixir! Take your body! Condemn you to eternal damnation!"
On the verge of being forcibly possessed by the Nine Tribulations, Gu Feng was utterly powerless to resist, forced to watch as the Nine Tribulations acted.
"Hand over your Golden Elixir!" the Nine Tribulations shouted angrily, reaching towards Gu Feng's Dantian and Spiritual Platform!
A gush of hot blood splattered across Gu Feng's face.
He was stunned, his body unhard.
Fang Feixue stood protectively in front of him, a faint smile on her lips.
Gu Feng looked down, speechless with shock.
The Nine Tribulations' right hand had pierced through Fang Feixue's Dantian from behind!
Her abdon was a bloody ss...
"How... how could this..." Gu Feng muttered, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and Fang Feixue imdiately buried her head into Gu Feng's shoulder, holding him tightly, "Don't look, I must look terrible right now..."
The Nine Tribulations was also taken aback, not expecting Fang Feixue to suddenly step in and take the blow for Gu Feng at such a critical mont!
Pulling back his right hand, the Nine Tribulations was about to attack the two again!
"Nine Tribulations! I want you dead!"
Gu Feng was utterly enraged, ignoring the dire state of his ridians, he forcibly summoned the Bright Moon Shuttle, slashing down at the Nine Tribulations' broken body with a sword!
The sharp sword energy whistled through the air, and the Nine Tribulations dodged in terror, but his right arm was still cut off without suspense!
With a scream, the Nine Tribulations Witch King was at his wit's end, screeching as he threw down his severed arm, retreating rapidly, putting several feet between himself and Gu Feng.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gu Feng's ridians finally couldn't withstand the pressure, several vital extraordinary ridians burst open, staining his tattered white robe with blood.
He barely stabilized himself, quickly bending down to hold the faltering Fang Feixue.
"It's okay, it's okay, I have elixirs here! You'll be fine!"
Gu Feng, enduring the intense pain in his body, hurriedly took out a handful of elixirs from his Ring Storage, forcing a smile as he brought them to Fang Feixue's lips.
Fang Feixue's face was pale, and she slowly shook her head.
"Don't be silly, it's useless..."
As the saying goes, only the drinker knows if the water is hot or cold. Fang Feixue was well aware of her current condition.
With her Dantian and Spiritual Platform destroyed, her Elental Infant had no place to reside and would soon leave her body.
No elixir could save her.
Gu Feng trembled all over, throwing the elixirs aside, unable to hold back his tears...
They say n don't cry easily, but that's only because they haven't reached the depths of sorrow.
Gu Feng had long regarded Fang Feixue as his Daoist partner, a bond that had seeped into the depths of his soul, irreplaceable.
Fang Feixue lay in his arms, seeing Gu Feng's tears, she slowly reached out to wipe them from his cheeks, weakly saying, "Are you... worried about ...?"
This was a line Gu Feng had used to tease her many tis, but he never imagined that at this mont, Fang Feixue would turn it back on him.
Wiping away his tears, Gu Feng forced a smile and replied, "I, I'm not..."
Fang Feixue smiled, coughing up more blood, tears welling in her eyes as she pouted and made a silly face with her eyes closed and tongue out.
Gu Feng was overwheld with grief, forcing a smile as mories flooded his mind.
Scenes with Fang Feixue played out like a film, appearing before his eyes, and Gu Feng's heart ached.
Hou Yixiao scrambled over, reaching out to feel Fang Feixue's wrist, sensing quietly for a mont before shaking his head helplessly.
"Who would have thought... in the end, that fat Hou Yixiao... would be right..." Fang Feixue murmured, her strength fading, her consciousness growing dim.
Hou Yixiao had once divined for Gu Feng, predicting a tribulation of love in his fate. At the ti, they all found it laughable, but now it seed that fate was indeed playing tricks.
Gu Feng shook his head fiercely, saying, "No! I won't let anything happen to you! I will find a way to save you!"
Fang Feixue gently squeezed Gu Feng's hand, softly saying, "When I'm gone... take care of yourself... tell my adoptive father... Feixue was unfilial... unable to repay his great kindness..."
"Don't say that, I'll take you to find Third Uncle, he must have a way to save you!"
Unwilling to give up, Gu Feng endured the searing pain in his body, lifting Fang Feixue in his arms.
"No need to trouble yourself!"
The Nine Tribulations Witch King stood not far away, his body in tatters, but the Golden Toad Gu was still lively. Facing the heavily injured and powerless Gu Feng and the others, he still held the upper hand.
Licking his lips with a wicked grin, he said viciously, "Today, you all must die, none of you will escape!"
