69: Chapter 69 Traitorous Disciple, Are You Out of Your Mind?!
Those two ink-black Void Realm chains, like netherworld vipers flicking their tongues, wove silently through the wind and snow.
They completely avoided the earth-shattering Spell collision in front, carrying the unique spatial Law power of the Soul Transformation Peak, and struck directly at the blind spots behind Fei Yuechan and Liu Qingwan at a bizarre, impossible-to-defend angle.
At this very moment, these two top-tier experts were pouring all ten percent of their True Qi into the offensive and defensive struggle ahead.
Fei Yuechan's extreme cold Domain and Liu Qingwan's autumn water sword light were desperately resisting the crushing force of that giant Devilish Qi hand, leaving them no time to spare any attention for this deadly sneak attack from behind.
Even as Soul Transformation Stage powerhouses, although they sensed the chilling killing intent behind them through the instinctive warning of their Divine Soul, it was simply impossible to forcibly withdraw their moves and return to defense when their old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet arisen.
Once these two Devilish Qi chains, which contained the Law of corrosion, pierced their heart Meridians, even if they didn't die, their Origin Foundation would suffer irreversible, heavy damage.
Gu Yi stood within the defensive barrier below, his deep black eyes locked onto the trajectory of those two chains.
"Now is the time."
Gu Yi whispered to himself in his heart.
He knew full well how much pain and risk it would take to meet a killing move from the Soul Transformation Peak with his own Physical Body.
But he knew even better that he possessed the Primordial Limitless Creation Immortal Body rewarded by the System.
This domineering and peerless top-tier Physique granted him vitality and recovery power a hundred times greater than Cultivators of the same Realm.
As long as his Divine Soul wasn't crushed on the spot, he could endure even the most severe external injuries, and that was the only way to save his Revered Master and the others.
Gu Yi did not hesitate for a split second, stomping his foot hard.
He pushed his Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step to its current limit, and the pale golden defensive barrier protecting Senior Sister Mu Qingxue and Junior Sister Lin Wanying was reinforced the moment he left.
Gu Yi's figure turned into an afterimage, resolutely soaring into the sky against the falling frost and rain of blood.
In mid-air, Gu Yi forced the Pure Yang True Qi within his body out without reservation, turning it into a layer of dazzling golden light flames.
This extremely rigid and extremely Yang Aura was like the most tempting bait for those two chains formed from cold, sinister Devilish Qi.
Sure enough.
Under the strong pull of the Pure Yang Aura, the two ink-black chains that were originally stabbing toward the two women suddenly changed their trajectory in mid-air, turning their spearheads in unison like wolves that had smelled blood, and slammed fiercely toward Gu Yi's chest.
"No!"
Inside the barrier below, Senior Sister Mu Qingxue and Junior Sister Lin Wanying's eyes instantly turned red as they watched Gu Yi's back as he threw himself into the high sky, and they let out heart-wrenching screams.
In that split second, Gu Yi's tall, straight body forcefully inserted itself behind Fei Yuechan and Liu Qingwan.
He spread his arms, acting like an impassable human shield.
Puchi—!
A scalp-numbing sound of flesh tearing exploded clearly in the air.
No matter how Heaven-Defying the defensive power of the Primordial Limitless Creation Immortal Body was, in the face of an absolute gap in Realm, it could not completely offset this destructive Demonic Path Law.
The two ink-black chains easily shredded the golden True Qi on Gu Yi's body surface and viciously pierced through his left and right shoulders.
The violent and cold corrosive Devilish Qi, like countless tiny steel knives, surged madly into Gu Yi's Meridians along the wounds, wantonly destroying his flesh and tissue.
"Ugh…"
Gu Yi let out a pained grunt, the color draining from his face in an instant.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and cold sweat rolled down like raindrops.
The excruciating pain of having his flesh pierced alive and his Meridians torn inch by inch caused his vision to blur briefly.
But he gritted his teeth and didn't let out a single scream.
He grabbed the two chains piercing his shoulders with a backhand grip, and relying on the terrifying vitality of his immortal body, he used his bones to forcibly jam the forward momentum of the chains, completely blocking them behind the two women.
Hot blood gushed from the corners of Gu Yi's mouth, turning into a mist of scarlet blood that scattered and fell onto the back of Fei Yuechan's snow-white robes, looking extremely jarring.
This warm sensation caused Fei Yuechan, who was fully resisting the giant Devilish Qi hand in front, to stiffen suddenly.
She turned her head, and her beautiful eyes, which were glowing with ice-blue light, instantly contracted violently.
What came into view was her usually calm and black-bellied disciple, now being pierced through both shoulders by two ink-black chains, suspended behind her, covered in blood.
His pale face was filled with pain, but in those black eyes looking at her, there was not a trace of fear of death, only the persistence to protect her at all costs.
"Revered Master… be careful…"
Gu Yi spat out a few words weakly, his mouth gushing out large mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
"Gu Yi!"
The face of the Revered Master of Lanyue Peak, usually aloof from worldly affairs and cold as an immortal, completely collapsed at this moment.
Her voice carried unprecedented trembling and panic, and even her Soul Transformation Aura became violently chaotic.
"Rebellious Disciple! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
Fei Yuechan scolded sharply, her eyes filled with mist without her knowing.
On the other side, Liu Qingwan also turned her head.
When this usually lazy and casual female Elder saw the man who had domineeringly conquered her on the inn roof and promised to protect her, now in such a miserable state just to save them.
Liu Qingwan's heart felt as if it had been crushed by an invisible hand.
"Gu Yi…"
Liu Qingwan's lips trembled, and those peach-blossom eyes that were always a bit tipsy were instantly filled with dense red bloodshot veins.
He didn't say another word, but relaxed his body's resistance, letting his broken body, having lost its center of gravity, fall straight from the high sky toward the ruins below.
"Gu Yi!"
Fei Yuechan let out a shrill cry.
She didn't care about the giant Devilish Qi hand that was still pressing down in front, and simply abandoned her defense.
Her slender waist twisted violently in mid-air, turning into a streak of white light as she swooped down, chasing after Gu Yi's falling figure.
The moment before Gu Yi was about to hit the ground, Fei Yuechan reached out her slightly trembling jade hands and hugged the blood-covered man tightly into her arms.
The hot blood instantly stained her clothes red.
Fei Yuechan knelt in the rubble of the ruins, hurriedly transferring her purest ice cold True Qi into Gu Yi's body, trying to seal off the Devilish Qi that was raging in the two hideous wounds on his shoulders.
Looking at Gu Yi's closed eyes and his increasingly weak breathing, Fei Yuechan's heart ached so much she could barely breathe.
She was not only the high and mighty Peak Revered Master of Xuantian Sect, but also the Revered Master who had raised Gu Yi since he was a child.
A few days ago at Guhan Cliff, it was this disciple who used all means to cure her cold poison, and today in this desperate situation, it was again this disciple who used his Physical Body to block the fatal chains for her.
All her pride, all her reserve, and all her high-and-mighty demeanor turned to ashes in the face of this blood-covered body.
"You fool… why did you block it…"
Fei Yuechan pressed her cheek against Gu Yi's blood-stained forehead, and her tears could no longer be held back, rolling down her beautiful face in large drops and splashing onto Gu Yi's cheeks.
Meanwhile, in mid-air.
Having lost the frontal suppression of Fei Yuechan and Liu Qingwan, the giant Devilish Qi hand, carrying the force of a mountain and sea, was about to slap down toward the two people embracing below.
"I'll kill you!!!"
A roar filled with endless violence and madness exploded in the sea of clouds.
Liu Qingwan did not retreat.
This Elder, who loved wine, crushed the jade gourd used to hold wine at her waist into pieces.
The clear wine mixed with her tears, scattering wantonly in the strong wind.
Her long hair stood on end, and her Middle Stage Soul Transformation cultivation was pushed to the limit at this moment without regard for the cost.
She even began to burn her own life-bound Divine Soul, pouring all her True Qi, all her anger, and all her heartache into the autumn water longsword in her hand.
"Shatter for me!"
Liu Qingwan, like a crazed lioness, charged alone toward the giant Devilish Qi hand that covered the sky.
The sword light, so brilliant it was blinding, carried the tragic momentum of mutual destruction, forcefully cutting a bottomless crack in the palm of that giant Devilish Qi hand.
In the ruins below.
Fei Yuechan gently laid Gu Yi flat on a flat white jade slab.
She reached out her jade fingers, stained with blood, and gently brushed away the messy hair on Gu Yi's forehead.
"Wait for Revered Master a moment, Revered Master will go and seek justice for you right now."
Fei Yuechan's voice was as soft as if she were coaxing a child to sleep.
But the moment she stood up again and looked up at the clouds.
A terrifying extreme cold Law that made the entire Sword King City tremble erupted from the body of this Lanyue Peak Revered Master!
All the ruins, blood, and Devilish Qi within a radius of ten miles were instantly frozen into azure ice sculptures.
Fei Yuechan's originally cold and beautiful eyes had now completely turned into the color of ice and snow, devoid of any emotional temperature.
The two top-tier powers belonging to the Soul Transformation Stage, catalyzed by extreme heartache and anger, completely abandoned all defense and retreat, turning into two beams of light that destroyed everything, shooting straight into the clouds.
Above the clouds.
Blood-Robed Demoness Li Hongxiao, who had been full of mockery and arrogance, looked at the two women below who had completely entered a desperate state, radiating a crazy Aura, and a trace of astonishment and gravity finally flashed in her dark, beautiful eyes.
She never expected that her sure-kill strike would not only be blocked by that annoying ant with his Physical Body, but would instead completely enrage these two prey who could originally only barely fend her off.
"Crazy women!"
Blood-Robed Demoness Li Hongxiao cursed inwardly. Facing the desperate, crazy counterattack of two Soul Transformation Stage experts, she, this Soul Transformation Peak Demonic Path titan, had to temporarily restrain her carelessness, pressing her hands in front of her, and fully concentrating Devilish Qi to defend.
The battle in the sky was completely ignited at this moment.
And in the frozen ruins below.
Gu Yi, who was lying on the white jade slab and seemed to be seriously injured and unconscious, twitched the corner of his mouth imperceptibly after the two women soared into the sky.
Enduring the heart-wrenching pain in his shoulders, he gripped the [Xumi Immortal Mansion] jade pendant hidden in his sleeve, which had long been ready to be activated, tightly in his palm.
