Chapter 264: Chapter 264: On the Verge of Life and Death

Translator: 549690339

The howls of ten thousand beasts filled the air as countless long-silent bones of demon beasts began to tremble. The violent demon Qi surged, like a tsunami, boiling up from the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, seemingly ready to crush every living being within it.

The ones in the front line were Li Youbing and her companions. Against the onslaught of the violent demon Qi, they stood no chance of resisting. They were thrown out like ragdolls falling scattered outside the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.

As they landed, each of them spat mouthfuls of fresh blood, their spirits flagging. Some of the weaker ones had faces black and blue from the pain, writhing and wailing in agony.

Li Youbing’s pale face was also tinted with a layer of blue. But because of her superior cultivation and her efforts to resist the Qi at the moment it attacked, she fared less badly.

Even so, the terrifying demon Qi still invaded her body and she felt waves of discomfort but managed to suppress it.

The others didn’t have her strength. Those who writhed in pain had been overrun by a large amount of demon Qi. Without immediate aid, they could only face a single fate – death.

“Quick! Get out the ginseng and eat it! Don’t be reluctant!” Yang Qingyao strained to stand and speak to those who were seriously wounded.

Hearing this, the injured struggled to produce ginseng and began to devour it.

Ginseng was a powerful restorative. Although it could not entirely clear the demon Qi from their systems, it could at least prolong their lives, ensuring that they wouldn’t face any immediate threats.

In the heart of the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, a even more horrifying surge of demon Qi rolled in. Even Fang Lin, casting the White Elephant Trampling Mountain, was unable to shield the three of them.

As the illusion of the white elephant shattered, the trio was swept up like unmoored water hyacinth, threatening to get thrown away any moment.

In the face of this, all defenses seemed feeble. The demon Qi here was too terrifying, making even a strong cultivator like Feng Qianqiu barely able to protect himself.

Then, in that moment, the violent Qi changed direction, carrying Fang Lin and the others towards the seven corpse of the demon beasts.

With no way out, they were helplessly swept away by the demon Qi, unable to move, and the terrifying demon Qi continued to infiltrate their bodies without restraints.

“If this goes on, we all will die. Do you guys have any solutions?” Fang Lin yelled, gesticulating wildly.

Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun merely shook their heads tiredly, both at a loss. If even Feng Qianqiu was being blown about, they might as well save their energy.

However, Fang Lin was not resigned to this fate. His face was also tinged with black color from the demon Qi, but if it continued, he would die either due to his body getting torn apart by the Qi or too much demon Qi infiltrating his body.

“The hell with it! I’m going all out!” Fang Lin cursed, vigorously patted the Nine Palace Bag, and over a dozen Jade Slips flew out and instantly shattered.

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz!!!

An array of light shields appeared. More than ten array patterns emerged to the surface, forming a protective shield over the three.

With the protection of the array, the three found temporary safety on the ground. Still, the outer array collapsed at a visibly rapid speed.

The demon Qi was too violent for the array to withstand for long. It was estimated that it would not last even as long as the time it took to make a cup of tea.

Yang Pojun and Qing Jianzi both felt fuzzy-headed. They’d inhaled too much demon Qi and were at their limits.

Although Fang Lin was also not in a good state, he was still able to hold on for a while, thanks to the abundant internal energy aroused by the Blood Evil Pill he had taken.

Seeing that the other two were in dire straits, Fang Lin gritted his teeth, took off the Beast Bag from Yang Pojun’s waist and put him and Qing Jianzi inside, attaching it to his own waist.

Since living creatures could survive in the Beast Bag, it could naturally hold people too.

After securing the two, Fang Lin, taking advantage of the last few layers of the array, furiously shouted internally: “Hey, you said you’ve put a mark on me, right? I’m nearly dead now, why aren’t you helping me?”

When he received no response, his face darkened and he cursed loudly for a while. Only then did he hear a cold, hard female voice in his ear: “I can’t help you.”

The voice belonged to the woman trapped in the Pill Sect Ancient Cave. Facing an imminent crisis, Fang Lin had no choice but to ask for her help.

Fang Lin was irritated. This damned woman was completely unreliable. Even when he was on the verge of losing his life, she just told him that she couldn’t help him.

“Can you help or not?” Fang Lin asked through clenched teeth.

After a short silence, the woman replied: “I will lend you some power – but only once.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Lin felt as if something had been added to his body. A frightening aura began emanating from him.

Swearing under his breath, without dawdling, he turned toward the violent demon Qi that was surging towards the seven corpses of the demon beasts.

At that moment, Fang Lin was like a human-shaped beast. The demon Qi that could tear a person apart posed no obstacle to him.

Fang Lin roared repeatedly, as reckless as one who didn’t care for his life. Even with countless bones of demon beasts hitting him, it still couldn’t slow down his pace.

Finally, Fang Lin reached the seven demon beast corpses and clambered up them.

Upon reaching this colossal demon beast corpse, the violent demon Qi seemed to vanish suddenly. It was as if the Qi didn’t affect anyone on these seven huge demon beast corpses.

Fang Lin spat out mouthfuls of blood, each more severe than the last. His entire body felt drained.

It took a while before he could barely open his eyes. When he did, he saw Gu Hanshan lying on another demon beast’s corpse. As bloody as he was, it was as if he had fainted.

Fang Lin let out a wry smile. Gu Hanshan was indeed powerful being able to make it here. But judging by his state, he was either dead or barely hanging on.

However, Fang Lin was not faring much better. Every part of his body ached, he seemed to have several broken bones, his inner strength was almost exhausted, and his body was full of demon Qi.

If his body hadn’t been tempered by the Golden Core, he was afraid he could not bear it.

Even though Gu Hanshan was just within reach, and he could easily kill him with a single swipe of his knife, he couldn’t even muster the strength to get up. He could only take several medicinal Pills and force himself to swallow.

What was even more pressing was that his body now contained a huge amount of demon Qi. If not eliminated promptly, it would soon threaten his life.

Demon Qi was not a common thing. Once it invaded one’s body, it was extremely hard to get it out. Especially such a large amount of demon Qi. The organs in Fang Lin’s body were already almost hurt by the demon Qi, so it was even more difficult to eliminate.

With a look of determination in his eyes, Fang Lin thought that since it had come to this, he might as well risk it all. Rather than dying under the torment of demon Qi, he might as well stake his life for a chance.
