"If you don’t make a move, I’ll die." Yuan Ming lay on the ground, his chest heaving as he spoke softly.
"You’ve been thinking about being a hero all this ti, and now you rember ? If there’s sothing good later, I’ll take it first." A pleasant voice echoed in his mind, filled with a sense of gloating.
"A re beast slave dares to fight ? You don’t know your own limits." Kun Tu sneered as he walked towards Yuan Ming, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
But at that mont, a sudden change occurred!
The black light on the Yin Ghost Flag in his hand suddenly surged out of control, and the blood-colored skull pattern seed to co alive, wriggling. A powerful and abnormal Yin Sha force transmitted over, reversing and invading Kun Tu’s body. He felt half of his body go numb, and his face turned extrely pale.
His heart trembled, and he subconsciously thought of sothing. Like avoiding a snake or a scorpion, he threw the Yin Ghost Flag out.
The Yin Ghost Flag had special materials and extraordinary runes, which allowed it to not only unleash powerful Yin attribute attacks, but also devour other living beings to nourish itself, as Kun Tu had ntioned before. After a large amount of blood sacrifice, the Yin Qi inside the Yin Ghost Flag increased greatly, and its power soared. However, this type of Yin attribute artifact also had a significant flaw: every once in a while, the Yin Qi inside the Yin Ghost Flag would slowly overflow and backlash against its owner. As long as it was properly suppressed, it could be controlled.
But this ti, before the ti was up and without any warning, a sudden change occurred, catching him off guard. Although Kun Tu promptly threw away the Yin Ghost Flag, he was still invaded by the Yin Qi and his body beca stiff. He quickly took out a bright red pill and swallowed it, not caring about Yuan Ming, and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
Without Kun Tu’s mana to sustain it, the Yin Ghost Flag quickly returned to its original state after falling to the ground, and the blood-colored skull on the flag surface no longer moved, returning to calmness.
His spirit wolf spirit beast ran over to protect him at the sa ti.
anwhile, on the other side, the purple-black demon vine that was entangled with Wu Lu suddenly stopped, and in the next mont, it quickly loosened and "swooshed" back into the ground, disappearing.
Wu Lu broke free and quickly glanced at Kun Tu, then turned his gaze to Yuan Ming lying on the ground, his eyes filled with suspicion. He quickly took out a vial of potion from his left hand, cleaned his right arm, applied dicine, and finally wrapped it in white cloth, relieving the piercing pain.
At this mont, Kun Tu recovered and cautiously reached out to grab the Yin Ghost Flag on the ground, without checking it, and hurriedly put it away.
"Are you alright?" Wu Lu didn’t care about attacking Yuan Ming anymore, but instead walked quickly to Kun Tu’s side and asked with concern.
"Naturally, it’s nothing. Go and kill this kid. I’ll reward you generously when we return." Kun Tu slowly straightened his body, shaking his head nonchalantly.
Wu Lu’s thoughts were sharp, and he sensed that Kun Tu’s expression was strange. The actual situation was probably not as casual as he claid. Kun Tu was obviously backlashed by an unknown spell from Yuan Ming, causing the Yin Ghost Flag to backfire against its owner.
Just as Wu Lu guessed, Kun Tu was now partially paralyzed, and for so reason, the backfire from the Yin Ghost Flag was not insignificant. Although he used the power of the pill to expel more than half of the invading Yin Qi, a large portion still penetrated deep into his ridians. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t force it out. It was as if his mana was imprisoned. He had never suffered such a severe internal injury before, and could only seek help from his master after returning to the sect.
"I obey your orders." Wu Lu respectfully said, bowing to Kun Tu, but perhaps due to his recent serious injuries, he stumbled and fell towards Kun Tu, rolling down.
Kun Tu was about to turn his head to check.
"Splurt."
A bright flash of a knife suddenly blood, piercing through Kun Tu’s heart from behind and coming out of his chest.
Blood gushed out of Kun Tu’s mouth, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.
After all, he was a disciple of the Bi Luo Cave, with both his temperant and aptitude being outstanding. In an instant, he tried his best to avoid the vital points of his heart when the knife entered his body, imdiately flipping his hand and swinging it backwards.
A gust of Yin wind struck Wu Lu, sending him flying several zhang away and crashing into a patch of grass.
Kun Tu spurted out a mouthful of blood and picked up the Yin Ghost Flag, but unfortunately, his heart and lungs were pierced, and his strength quickly dissipated.
Kun Tu’s spirit wolf spirit beast froze for a mont before finally reacting, roaring angrily as it pounced towards Wu Lu.
Wu Lu shot out a pill, hitting the wind wolf’s nose. The pill exploded, turning into a yellow smoke that emitted an unusually pungent sll. The wind wolf howled in pain, its body trembling uncontrollably, and it slowly fell to the ground.
Wu Lu slowly stood up from the grass, walked to the wind wolf, and with a swift motion, cut off its head. His chest clothes were torn, and a bloodstain flowed from the corner of his mouth, but his expression was very relaxed.
"Have you gone mad?" Kun Tu stared at Wu Lu, struggling to speak.
"You’re such a petty person. You only thought of rewarding after you were seriously injured. Why don’t you stand up now and give it a try?" Wu Lu mocked.
Kun Tu was about to reply, but at this mont, a strange scene occurred. Kun Tu suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past his neck, as if it had been slashed by a knife. His neck stung, and blood spurted out a foot high, his head falling to the ground.
"Thump." Kun Tu’s head fell to the ground, his eyes widened, staring fixedly at a certain spot. His body twitched, his breath dissipating, but his eyes remained open.
Wu Lu was also shocked by this strange scene, and in a panic, his body swayed and he sat on the ground. He looked at Yuan Ming lying not far away on the ground and imdiately spoke, "Brother Yuan, please don’t make a move. Let’s talk."
Seeing that Yuan Ming didn’t respond, he continued, "Brother Yuan, you really have great thods. Wasn’t my knife just now beautiful? In return for my help with that knife, how about we turn enemies into friends?"Yuan Ming had already sat up, his heart now at ease. He smiled and said, "Brother Wu Lu, your strike was swift and decisive, without any hesitation. I could never have dread that you would stab him in the back."
He had feigned unconsciousness to paralyze Kun Tu. Even if the Silver Cat refused to help, the hidden Black Toad spirit beast could have delivered a fatal blow to Kun Tu unnoticed, and then he would have to fight the injured Wu Lu.
Unexpectedly, the Silver Cat had used so strange thod just now, causing Kun Tu to be backfired before he could cast a spell. Wu Lu’s sudden betrayal was even more unexpected. Kun Tu’s neck was cut by an invisible weapon, which must have been the work of the Silver Cat. He couldn’t help but admire the Silver Cat and was unable to judge its current strength.
His right hand was hidden under his body, holding a green crystal, the wood attribute spirit stone. He was running the Nine Yuan Jue at full strength, absorbing the spiritual power of the spirit stone, and his mana was slowly recovering. However, his internal injuries were too severe and had not improved much.
"Haha, I stabbed him for you, Brother Yuan. Your thods are unpredictable, and you will surely beco a great power in the future," Wu Lu laughed, seeming like an old friend of Yuan Ming. He also secretly held a spirit stone in his hand.
"Brother Wu Lu, you flatter . Your pill for killing the green wolf is also impressive. Let’s not beat around the bush, let’s discuss how to report back to the sect," Yuan Ming said calmly.
Upon hearing Yuan Ming’s words, Wu Lu sighed and said, "Those were just small tricks, Brother Yuan is generous. I’ll let them rest first. We need to have a good discussion." He waved his sleeve, and a yellow smoke shot out from his sleeve, hitting Tu Ya and the others.
The two of them inhaled the yellow smoke before they could react, and quickly showed signs of fatigue, falling to the ground and falling asleep.
Yuan Ming watched all this without saying a word, secretly on guard.
"Brother Yuan, shall we heal our wounds first? If the injuries drag on, it will be detrintal to our future cultivation. I have experience in this," Wu Lu said to himself, walking over to Kun Tu’s body and starting to search it.
He quickly found a white dicine bottle in his bosom. The bottle was sealed with wax, and there was a green talisman paper on the bottle mouth, which looked like a precious item. Wu Lu removed the talisman paper, lifted the wax seal, and poured out a green pill. The rich fragrance of the dicine imdiately filled the air.
As he was about to swallow the pill, the ground beside him suddenly cracked open, and a purple-black vine shot out, wrapping around the white dicine bottle in Wu Lu’s hand and quickly returned to Yuan Ming’s side, presenting the pill to Yuan Ming.
Wu Lu was not surprised, he still swallowed the pill, and his sowhat pale cheeks quickly regained their color.
Yuan Ming held the dicine bottle, quietly watching the changes in Wu Lu’s body, without rushing to take it.
The purple-black vine had returned to Wu Lu’s side, swaying slightly, but did not attack Wu Lu.
"This pill is called Flesh and Bone Pill, a secret healing pill made by the Refining Furnace Hall, especially good at treating internal injuries. You can take it with confidence," Wu Lu said to Yuan Ming with concern.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming was moved. He had heard of the Flesh and Bone Pill. Among the healing pills of the Refining Furnace Hall, it could rank in the top five. It was said to have the effect of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh and bones, hence the na.
After a slight hesitation, he tilted the dicine bottle, and two green pills rolled out, the enticing fragrance of the dicine hit his nose.
Slling the fragrance, the pain in his internal organs seed to lessen a bit.
"This dicine really lives up to its reputation!" Yuan Ming was delighted. If this dicine had co from Wu Lu, given Wu Lu’s cunning nature and their mutual suspicion, he would definitely not dare to take it. But since it was obtained from Kun Tu, it must be genuine.
After entering the Bi Luo Cave, he had read a few books about pills and had so knowledge about them. He carefully examined the two pills, still not daring to swallow them. After thinking for a mont, he flicked one of the Flesh and Bone Pills into the nearby grass.
The Black Toad spirit beast was lurking there, it opened its mouth and swallowed the Flesh and Bone Pill. After a while, the Black Toad showed no abnormalities and seed even more energetic.
"It seems the pill is indeed genuine," Yuan Ming finally felt relieved and swallowed the pill.
The pill lted as soon as it entered his stomach, and a warm current flowed through his body. His internal organs seed to be stead by the heat, and his severe internal injuries visibly improved at a rapid pace.
A few breaths later, the boiling heat subsided, and most of the pain in his body disappeared.
"I was indeed too impulsive this ti. If I had a Flesh and Bone Pill for quick healing and recovery beforehand, I wouldn’t have been forced to feign death by Kun Tu and Wu Lu, and had to ask the Silver Cat for help. I must prepare more kinds of pills in the future. The hardest thing about cultivation is being poor, indeed," Yuan Ming sighed to himself.
