612: Lu Xueqi (89)

A green figure, like a moth flying into a flame, suddenly crashed in from the side, violently colliding with Lu Xueqi and knocking her staggering backward.

It was Bi Yao!

She had been watching the battlefield, and the moment the Vengeful Corpse suddenly attacked, she unhesitatingly chose to push Lu Xueqi away, using her own body to meet the bone spur tail, which was shooting toward them, filled with the aura of death!

Puchi!

The muffled sound of a Sharp Weapon entering flesh echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Su Han's eyes suddenly widened.

Lu Xueqi, knocked backward, showed horror and disbelief on her usually cold face for the first time.

Shi Yue and the others stood frozen on the spot.

Bi Yao's delicate body trembled, and she slowly lowered her head, looking at the terrifying, blood-stained bone spur piercing through her body from beneath her left shoulder.

Agony instantly engulfed her.

But the corners of her mouth curved slightly. She looked at Lu Xueqi, whom she had pushed away, and then at Su Han, whose eyes were splitting with rage. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but only a mouthful of blood gushed out.

"Bi Yao—!!!"

Su Han let out a heart-wrenching roar, his eyes instantly turning blood-red.

An indescribable rage, pain, regret, and overwhelming killing intent erupted in his chest like a volcano!

He had never before wanted to destroy everything as much as he did at this moment!

After throwing its tail, the Vengeful Corpse's last trace of vitality completely dissipated, and its massive body crashed to the ground, dissolving into a pool of foul-smelling black water.

But Su Han didn't even glance at it.

In his eyes, there was only that verdant figure, pierced by the bone spur, her green robes stained with blood, slowly going limp.

"No—!"

Su Han's figure transformed into a streak of green smoke, instantly appearing next to Bi Yao, gently catching her before she fell to the ground.

The spot where he touched her was warm and viscous.

Bi Yao's face was as pale as paper, and her breathing rapidly weakened. The Malice Qi coiled around the bone spur was frantically eroding her vitality.

"Bi Yao! Bi Yao! Hold on!" Su Han's voice trembled. He frantically took out the best healing Medicinal Pill, wanting to feed it to Bi Yao, but blood continuously poured from Bi Yao's mouth, making it impossible to administer the pill.

Lu Xueqi also rushed to her side. The usually aloof Xue Qi now had eyes filled with anxiety and pain. She quickly pressed several vital points on Bi Yao in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but the bone spur had pierced through her body, and the Malice Qi had permeated her; the injury was too severe.

"Su... Brother Su..." Bi Yao struggled to open her eyes, looking at Su Han's anxious and pained face. She forced a faint smile onto her pale face, her voice like a wisp of smoke, "... It's... it's fine... I... I... am the Eldest Young Miss of the Ghost King Sect... I have a tough life..."

"Don't talk! Don't talk!" Su Han roared, his voice choked with sobs. He desperately channeled his Chaos True Qi into Bi Yao's body, attempting to dispel the Malice Qi and protect her heart meridians.

However, although his Chaos True Qi was special, it was not True Qi specifically for healing. Its effect on dispelling such long-coagulated Malice Qi was limited.

Bi Yao's breath continued to weaken bit by bit, and her gaze began to drift.

"earth vein spirit milk..." Shi Yue suddenly remembered something and hurriedly handed over the jade bottle containing the spirit milk. "Fellow Daoist Su! The earth vein spirit milk contains immense vitality; perhaps it will help!"

Su Han snapped back to reality, snatched the jade bottle, and pulled out the stopper.

A rich essence of life energy emanated from it.

He didn't dare to delay. He aimed the mouth of the bottle at Bi Yao's lips and carefully dripped the purest, freshly condensed spirit milk into her mouth, then poured out two or three more drops of the stored spirit milk.

The spirit milk entered her throat, transforming into incomparably pure life force, which rapidly spread throughout Bi Yao's entire body.

Bi Yao's pale face finally regained a trace of color, and her faint breathing stabilized slightly.

But it was only stabilized.

The Malice Qi inside her body remained entrenched, and the penetrating wound caused by the bone spur was too severe; her life force was still slowly draining away.

The earth vein spirit milk was not an Immortal Pill; it could not bring someone back from the brink of death instantly, it could only temporarily sustain her life.

"Not enough... Still not enough..." Su Han looked at Bi Yao's tightly closed eyes, feeling her still weak breath, and his heart sank continuously.

"Fellow Daoist Su, this place is not suitable for lingering!" Shi Yue urged anxiously. "Miss Bi Yao's injury is too severe; we must find a safe place as soon as possible to try and expel the Malice Qi and treat her injuries! My Town Yue Tower specializes in Earth Element Cultivation Techniques, and we have several Elders within the sect who are proficient in healing and dispelling evil. Perhaps they have a solution!"

Su Han forced himself to calm down.

Yes, they had to leave immediately. Bi Yao's injury could not wait.

He took a deep breath, carefully protected Bi Yao's wound with his True Qi, and then gently lifted her into his arms.

Bi Yao's body was light, and now she was as light as a feather.

Su Han lowered his head to look at her pale yet still exquisite face, his heart filled with endless regret and torment. If he hadn't asked Bi Yao to fetch the spirit milk, if he could have been a little faster, if...

Lu Xueqi walked to his side, gently held Bi Yao's cold hand, slowly channeled a stream of pure spiritual energy into it, and whispered, "She will be fine."

Her voice was soft but carried a steadfast strength.

Su Han glanced at Lu Xueqi, nodded, the blood-red color in his eyes receded slightly, replaced by a deep coldness.

He turned to Shi Yue, his voice hoarse but leaving no room for doubt: "Fellow Daoist Shi, please lead the way immediately to your sect's nearest outpost or safe location. Su Han will remember this kindness."

"Fellow Daoist Su is too kind! Miss Bi Yao was injured saving Fairy Lu, and she was endangered because of matters concerning our Town Yue Tower. Our entire Town Yue Tower will certainly exert our utmost effort!" Shi Yue said without hesitation, immediately taking out a map. "About eight hundred li east from here, there is a temporary outpost established by our sect, which has a simple teleportation array leading to the vicinity of the main gate. We must depart immediately!"

"Go!"

Su Han spoke no more, carrying Bi Yao, and flew ahead toward the valley exit.

Lu Xueqi followed closely, the tianya sword suspended at her side, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Shi Yue and the other three quickly collected any remaining Storage Pouches from the Vengeful Corpse (though the hope was slim), and without time to deal with the Ice Scale Python or the scene, they hurried to follow.

The Ice Scale Python coiled by the edge of the pool. Its cold vertical pupils watched Su Han and the others depart, especially Bi Yao, whose breath was faint in Su Han's embrace. It hissed once, but ultimately did not obstruct them, slowly sinking back into the pool and disappearing. (End of Chapter)
