But it was too late.
Xu Shu twisted him into a pretzel with lightning speed, avoiding any unnecessary chit-chat to prevent long, troubleso dreams.
Having resurrected again, he had used up all of today’s chances from the Tai Chu Scroll—it was his last life, so naturally, he had to be cautious.
Edric’s body, twisted into chunks, quickly lted away, his eyes glaring at Xu Shu with the last of his strength, his voice growing weaker,
"Filthy, despicable human..."
"The severance has already begun..."
"I can’t escape... nor can you..."
His voice faded as he dissolved into pus, and with a few light clinks, three blood-stained Purple Curse Crystals fell to the ground.
Xu Shu picked them up with a look of distaste.
The surfaces of these Curse Crystals were severely damaged, giving one the illusion that they might shatter like glass at any mont.
But since they were Third Rank Purple Curse Crystals, Xu Shu still wiped them clean and collected them.
Next, he turned to a pulsating heart on the ground, looking at Qin Yue, who was watching him blankly, and after a mont of thought, he picked up the heart and roughly wiped off the dust on it.
Then, he pried open Qin Yue’s thick chest flesh and stuffed the heart back in.
"Still alive?" Xu Shu asked.
Qin Yue looked at him with complicated eyes and closed hers.
Then opened them again and said, "Still... can... save... save..."
Her vitality was incredibly stubborn; she survived even this.
"Aweso, truly worthy of being Impermanence!"
Xu Shu exclaid, then quickly ran back to the cliffside from before and brought out Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming.
"Save them," Xu Shu said succinctly.
The two won had wanted to ask about the previous booming noises, but seeing the people hanging on at death’s door, they knew it wasn’t the ti to talk.
Gu Yue Ming quickly knelt down, used so bandages to wrap Qin Yue up, then sat down and started to pray softly, enveloping Qin Yue in a strange green glow that brought forth the breath of life.
After about fifteen minutes, Qin Yue’s life was barely hanging on.
On the other side, Wei Wujiu and Butcher Zhang were also gasping for air and calling for help; their lives were nearly over.
"This..." Gu Yue Ming looked at Xu Shu.
Who should be saved first?
Xu Shu thought for a mont, pursed his lips, and pointed at Wei Wujiu.
Gu Yue Ming imdiately understood, ran over quickly, and began treating Wei Wujiu.
As a "Witch," her healing was not very fast, but since it was an "external injury" and he hadn’t died instantly, he could still be saved.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and Wei Wujiu, who was nearly split in half, was also brought back from the brink of death.
Gu Yue Ming wiped her sweat, tired, but still picked up her bag and went to Butcher Zhang’s side.
Unfortunately, Butcher Zhang was severely injured, and with such a delay, even a "Witch" couldn’t bring back the dead.
Butcher Zhang died regretfully.
Before dying, Butcher Zhang grabbed Xu Shu’s pant leg, struggling to ask:
"Sir... why... why..."
"What ’why’?" Xu Shu responded.
"Why save her first?" Butcher Zhang looked at Qin Yue.
Xu Shu casually said, "She was closer to just then."
"And him?"
Butcher Zhang looked at Wei Wujiu, who was much farther from him than he was.
Xu Shu thought for a mont and said, "Did he help open the car door?"
"I... I..."
Butcher Zhang struggled to say sothing but couldn’t articulate it, closed his eyes, and died with regrets, beyond rescue.
Xu Shu stood up, calculated the ti, realizing there was still plenty of ti before the ruins’ exit would open.
Perfect timing to ask that guy what exactly he was up to.
He looked around, then turned towards a corner and shouted, "Why keep hiding? Co out."
