Chapter 142: Impassable Pill, Resurrection in the Face of Death!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“A protective treasure?”
Chen Xiaoyi, who was now in the common seal realm, was stunned.
He thought he could kill Xu Ning in one blow, so he really didn’t expect him to be still alive.
Seeing him stunned, Xu Ning seized this opportunity and quickly fled.
‘Chen Xiaoyi has broken through to the common seal realm! He probably obtained his own lucky opportunity in the mystic realm!’
Xu Ning realized.
Before entering the mystic realm, Zhuo Zongyi had said that Chen Xiaoyi had already reached the peak of the void realm sixth stage, and he was the closest core disciple to reach the common seal realm besides He Mingye and Fang Jie.
“This is bad!”
Xu Ning had always been cautious, and he never fought a battle that he was not confident in.
Every time he made a move, he was confident that it would work out.
But now, with Chen Xiaoyi in front of him, Xu Ning felt extremely powerless for the first time.
Although he practiced a double secret scroll and cultivated four fifth level secret techniques, the difference between the materialization realm and the common seal realm was too great.
The common seal realm was the biggest divide in the void realm. After breaking through, one would become a top existence in a state. Even if one went out and established their own faction, they could become an overlord.
Xu Ning felt that he was in a huge crisis.
‘As expected of the disciple of the Sect Master, even an in-name can obtain a protective treasure!’
Chen Xiaoyi was not angry.
Although protective treasures were powerful, the number of times it could be used was limited.
But his strength in the common seal realm could be used limitlessly.
Even if Xu Ning ran a few steps away, he could still chase after him. He was like a cat playing with a mouse.
“Senior Brother Chen, you have broken through to the common seal realm!”
The protective membrane on Bao Ruyuan’s body had already disappeared. He looked at Chen Xiaoyi in shock and envy.
“After entering the mystic realm, I got a lucky opportunity.”
Chen Xiaoyi looked at Xu Ning, who was running away. He was not in a hurry to chase after him. He had a constant smile on his face. He was obviously satisfied with the lucky opportunity he had got.
“Congratulations, Brother Chen!”
Bao Ruyuan quickly said, “You have become the first core disciple to reach the common seal realm after Senior Brother Fang Jie and He Mingye!”
“Senior Brother Chen, I ran into Xie Wenyue just now, and I saw that she has obtained a thunder attribute dao weapon!”
Bao Ruyuan quickly said, “I was thinking of giving it to you, so I asked for it, but she didn’t give me any face, so I could only attack her to take away the thunder attribute dao weapon.”
“However, just as I was about to get my hands on that dao weapon, Xu Ning suddenly appeared and stopped me. How hateful!”
This was totally not Bao Ruyuan’s original intention.
Prior to this, Bao Ruyuan was in the void realm fifth stage, while Chen Xiaoyi was in the void realm sixth stage.
However, Bao Ruyuan’s master Elder Gujuan was more powerful. He also had the support of some of the previous generation elders in the faction, so his status was higher than Chen Xiaoyi’s master.
Thus, when the two got along, they were on equal footing.
But now that Chen Xiaoyi had crossed the void realm watershed and reached the common seal realm, his status had instantly risen.
Originally, the two only planned to cooperate, but looking at the situation now, Bao Ruyuan decided to be Chen Xiaoyi’s subordinate in the mystic realm.
“Thunder attribute dao weapon?!”
Chen Xiaoyi looked surprised when he heard this.
Even though he had obtained a lucky opportunity just recently, Chen Xiaoyi was still excited to hear about a dao weapon.
“That’s right!”
Bao Ruyuan fanned the flames. “A treasure like a dao weapon should belong to Senior Brother Chen! Even if it’s a thunder attribute dao weapon, you can still trade it for an earth attribute dao weapon. By then, with the help of a dao weapon, your strength and status will not be weaker than Senior Brother Fang Jie and He Mingye. You might even surpass He Mingye and gain the qualifications to become a candidate for the sect master position!”
Bao Ruyuan’s words made Chen Xiaoyi’s head dizzy.
If he found a thunder attribute dao weapon and exchanged it with an earth attribute dao weapon, then he might really be able to challenge He Mingye and Fang Jie.
“What about Xie Wenyue?”
Chen Xiaoyi quickly asked.
Previously,Chen Xiaoyi was a little lazy, but now he was completely serious.
“Just ahead, where Xu Ning is running towards!”
Bao Ruyuan quickly pointed the way.
“Okay!”
Chen Xiaoyi turned into a shadow and chased after Xu Ning. “I must get that dao weapon!”
When Bao Ruyuan saw this, he also desperately followed behind him.
“He’s catching up!”
Xu Ning could feel Chen Xiaoyi getting closer and closer.
“Xu Ning, what’s wrong?”
Xu Ning had returned to Xie Wenyue’s side. Seeing Xu Ning’s serious expression, Xie Wenyue quickly asked.
“Go!”
Xu Ning grabbed Xie Wenyue and continued to run.
Although he was carrying a person, with Xu Ning’s current strength and speed, Xie Wenyue’s weight did not affect his speed at all, otherwise Xu Ning would not have brought her away.
“Bao Ruyuan has joined forces with Chen Xiaoyi, and Chen Xiaoyi has broken through to the common seal realm!”
Xie Wenyue was shocked.
An enemy in the common seal realm?!
That was too terrifying.
“Xu Ning, put me down!”
Xie Wenyue gritted her teeth: “You are in danger because of me. It’s not worth risking your life for me!”
“Senior Sister Xie, you are thinking too simply. Even if I abandon you, they will not let me go. I have evidence of them harming their fellow disciples, so they will definitely try to kill me.”
Xu Ning’s tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.
He was in a desperate situation.
“It’s all my fault.”
Xie Wenyue looked guilty.
The previous time Xu Ning saved her, he was injured because of it. This time, it was a replay of that, and this time Xu Ning might have to pay a heavier price.
“There’s water!”
Suddenly, Xu Ning heard a gurgling sound in the wilderness. “A river?”
Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue realized this at the same time.
He already couldn’t escape in the first place, but now there was a river blocking his path.
They had obstacles on both sides.
“I can see them!”
Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan had caught up.
‘It really is a dao weapon!’
Chen Xiaoyi looked closely and saw the thunder attribute dao weapon in Wenyue’s hand.
He had already broken through to the seal realm, so he was very sensitive to the dao marks carved on the dao weapon.
“Put down the dao weapon, and I’ll leave your corpses intact!”
Chen Xiaoyi’s tone was carefree and arrogant.
In his opinion, the dao weapon in Xie Wenyue’s hand was already his.
“Xu Ning, Xie Wenyue, you can’t escape this time…”
Bao Ruyuan followed, his eyes full of joy.
“Xu Ning, thank you for everything!”
Just when they were about to reach the river, Xie Wenyue’s eyes were suddenly filled with madness.
She fumbled around her waist and took out a grape-sized brown pill.
Without any hesitation, Xie Wenyue swallowed the brown pill.
Xu Ning also noticed Wen Yue’s actions.
He didn’t know what the brown pill was, but he felt the determination and madness in Wenyue.
“Sister Xie, what kind of pill did you swallow just now?”
Xu Ning asked.
Xie Wenyue did not answer Xu Ning’s question, instead she slapped Xu Ning’s wrist.
With that slap, Xu Ning immediately let go of Xie Wenyue.
‘It seems to be a pill that stimulates potential!’
After Xie Wenyue swallowed the pill medicine, Xu Ning noticed that her previously weakened body was instantly filled with true qi.
“Xu Ning, go!”
Xie Wenyue did not look back, but her tone was firm. “I will cover the retreat!”
Xie Wenyue knew very well that this would be her strongest moment in history.
Because the pill she swallowed just now was called a Reverse Source Pill, also known as Desperation Pill!
After falling into a desperate situation, swallowing a Desperation Pill could instantly restore one’s condition to its peak, but the price was to drop into the mortal realm!
Once Xie Wenyue swallowed a Desperation Pill, she would fall from the void realm fifth stage to the mortal realm ninth stage.
For a core disciple of a large sect that everyone admired and had excellent aptitude, this kind of drop in realm was worse than killing her.
In addition to that, Xie Wenyue’s martial arts foundation would also be damaged. If she wanted to break through to the void realm again, the difficulty would be ten times higher than before!
When Bao Ruyuan chased after her, Xie Wenyue was already holding on to the Desperation Pill.
Even at that time, she was not 100% certain that she dared to bear the consequences.
But seeing that Xu Ning was about to die for her, Xie Wenyue finally stopped hesitating. She took out the Desperation Pill and swallowed it.
She couldn’t watch the person who saved her twice get implicated by her.
“Ha!”
The thunder qi in Xie Wenyue’s body surged.
She no longer cared about the consequences. She needed to consume all of her energy and true qi.
Lightning quickly condensed in Xie Wenyue’s hand.
She held the Corporal Bow, and the electric arcs in her hands were quickly drawn away by the Corporal Bow.
The energy and true qi that she had just recovered quickly disappeared as well.
Pfft!
Xie Wenyue spat out a mouthful of blood. She had consumed too much energy.
Xie Wenyue’s face turned pale, even her lips went pale.
The lightning qi in her body also dissipated in an instant.
Xie Wenyue’s realm had begun to fall.
“Senior Sister Xie!”
Xu Ning also noticed this.
“Go!”
Xie Wenyue’s voice was sharp.
A complicated purple pattern appeared on the body of the Thunder Corporal Bow.
This was not the case when Xie Wenyue previously drew the bow.
The reason for this change was because she had injected enough true qi and attribute power to further activate the power of her dao weapon.
Whoosh!
A dark purple lightning arrow condensed.
Electric arcs jumped across the arrow, making crackling sounds.
‘This is the power of a dao weapon!’
Chen Xiaoyi, who was in the common seal realm, felt a threatening aura from the arrow.
However, Chen Xiaoyi did not panic, instead he was even more excited.
Although Xie Wenyue’s last arrow was a threat to him, it was not at lethal levels.
In his eyes, the stronger the dao weapon, the greater his harvest would be.
“Brother Chen, watch out for that arrow!”
Bao Ruyuan quickly reminded.
His strength was much weaker than Chen Xiaoyi, so Bao Ruyuan could feel his whole body trembling in fear.
Bao Ruyuan knew very well that if this arrow hit him, he would have no chance of survival.
“Senior Sister Xie…”
Xu Ning looked at Xie Wenyue’s back. He gritted his teeth.
Although he was in danger because of Xie Wenyue, Xu Ning was quite moved by Xie Wenyue’s act of sacrifice.
Xu Ning stopped looking at Xie Wenyue. He knew that he couldn’t waste the opportunity Xie Wenyue had fought for him.
Xu Ning instantly reached the river and was ready to cross it.
However, just as Xu Ning condensed his qi under his feet and was about to step on the river surface, a terrifying aura made Xu Ning panic.
He lowered his head and stared at the river.
He saw that the river was pitch black. He couldn’t even see half a meter deep into the water.
The river was calm, but Xu Ning knew very well that there were terrifying creatures at the bottom of the river, not just one!
The terrifying creatures in the river did not restrain their aura at all. Anyone could sense them once they got close to the river.
And their aura was stronger than Chen Xiaoyi’s!
Xu Ning instantly pulled his foot back.
Crossing the river in this manner was definitely suicide.
Xu Ning looked back at Xie Wenyue.
Xie Wenyue was ready.
Whoosh!
This arrow, which contained all of Xie Wenyue’s qi, flew towards Chen Xiaoyi.
The lightning arrow was like a giant lightning python, wrapped in the terrifying destructive power of lightning, as it shot towards Chen Xiaoyi.
“So fast!”
Chen Xiaoyi’s expression finally changed.
He wanted to dodge, but the lightning arrow was too fast.
Chen Xiaoyi threw out a punch, which was covered in yellow lines.
Whoosh!
Xie Wenyue’s arrow collided with the giant fist seal, penetrating it.
“What?”
Chen Xiaoyi’s pupils shrunk. He was covered in yellow soil.
Poof!
The lightning arrow pierced through Chen Xiaoyi’s fist, then his shoulder.
“Ah!”
Chen Xiaoyi screamed in pain.
More than half of his fist was gone, and a large bloody hole also appeared in his chest.
“Xu Ning…”
After Xie Wenyue shot this arrow, she felt her consciousness sinking.
Xie Wenyue’s full potential had been stimulated, and she had squeezed out all of it just for that arrow. Her body had reached its limit.
She turned her head with difficulty to see if Xu Ning had run away.
However, beyond Xie Wenyue’s expectations, Xu Ning turned around!
Not only did he turn around, but he also ran towards her!
Xie Wenyue wanted to shout to stop him, but she couldn’t speak at all.
Her body went soft. She completely lost consciousness.
“Xie Wenyue! I will burn your bones and scatter your ashes!”
Chen Xiaoyi, who had suffered a heavy blow, no longer had the graceful bearing of before.
He ignored his injuries and rushed towards Xie Wenyue.
But Xu Ning had already picked up Xie Wenyue, his eyes full of determination.
Xu Ning knew that he had no way out.
‘I’ll fight to the death!’
Xu Ning’s eyes were red as he hugged Xie Wenyue and rushed towards the river.
Since staying behind meant certain death, crossing the river would at least provide him a narrow chance of escape. He would take the initiative to run into danger and use danger to resist danger!
“How far can you run?!”
Chen Xiaoyi was full of murderous intent.
He waved his uninjured hand and threw another punch.
