Chapter 369: Beast Tide (2)
The Podao in his hand had long curved, and the corpses of the demonic beasts around him had piled up into a small hill. Victor used the Podao to support his body, his clothes were tattered and his body was covered in wounds.
However, the beast tide was not over yet.
The roaring demonic beasts rushed toward Victor one after another, and most of them fell under the Podao in his hand. Only a small portion was forced back by the water curtain.
Pa!
However, at this moment, the Podao in Victor’s hands finally broke as it could no longer withstand the pressure!
Instantly, a mountain-sized elephant crashed heavily into Victor’s body!
Victor grunted and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, not knowing if he survived the attack.
w.a.n.g Cheng!
Seeing this scene, Lian Hua screamed hysterically. Then, ignoring the others’ attempts to stop her, she rushed out of the water curtain!
“Calm down! If you go out now, w.a.n.g Cheng’s sacrifice will be in vain!”
“Get out of my way! w.a.n.g Cheng is not dead! w.a.n.g Cheng will not die!”
Lian Hua’s eyes were fixed on the motionless figure on the ground. Tears burst out of her eyes.
Fortunately, w.a.n.g Cheng was still alive.
He struggled to get up. Blood gushed out of his mouth and dyed the ground red.
“Sister… I… I’m fine…”
“w.a.n.g Cheng, come back. You’ve done your best.”
“Senior sister, can you do me one more favor?”
“Go ahead.”
“Lend me senior sister’s sword.”
Nalan Lengling naturally did not refuse.
She took out the Flowing Smoke Sword from her waist and threw it at Victor. The latter took the sword and blocked in front of the water curtain again!
“Leng Wuqing! Your Podao is broken. If I can survive, I’ll compensate you!”
“No… There’s no need…”
Leng Wuqing was proficient in saber techniques, so he naturally knew that Victor’s attack just now was completely disorganized. He simply relied on the enormous power of his qi and blood to cut down the demonic beasts.
Without a doubt, this consumed a lot of his physical strength.
“Sword, hehe, I used to have one too, but I broke it.”
Victor laughed bitterly as he looked at the endless beast tide with a sneer.
The injury just now was naturally Victor’s intention. With the strength that he had displayed, he was already at the end of his rope. It was expected for him to be injured.
Though in reality, Victor had only used 30% of his stamina.
“Lian Hua, don’t worry. I was just faking it.”
Victor comforted Lian Hua as he swung his sword, piercing through the incoming flood dragon!
“Enough… enough…”
Looking at Victor who was fighting desperately, Nalan Lengling closed her eyes. She could not bear to look at the badly mutilated body,
“Flying crane! Go save him!”
Nalan Lengling slowly stood up and turned to look at the crowd. She said word by word, “Half of the beast tide has pa.s.sed. From now on, you can only rely on your own abilities to survive. The water curtain is about to disappear. I want to go and save w.a.n.g Cheng.”
At this moment, there was absolute silence.
No one raised any objections because that figure had done too much for them.
After the water curtain dissipated, Nalan Lengling flew behind Victor and caught the tottering figure.
“Senior sister… Why are you here…”
Victor’s voice was hoa.r.s.e as he stared blankly at the spotless white clothes.
“I’m here to save you…”
“Senior sister… I’m sorry, I can’t hold on anymore…”
“You’ve done enough.”
“Senior sister… Your scent smells so good…”
Victor gave a silly laugh and then completely fainted.
“Lecher…”
Nalan Lengling’s face was red. She immediately summoned the flying crane and kept flying upward with Victor.
Then, Nalan Lengling held the Flowing Smoke Sword, her eyes cold.
“True Yang Nine Swords!”
Nalan Lengling grunted and a blinding light burst out from the blade of the Flowing Smoke Sword. The extremely sharp sword light cut through the air, bringing with it the sound of air being torn apart!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of demonic beasts were split into two, and blood flowed everywhere!
At this moment, the formerly spotless white clothes were stained with blood and the originally unstoppable demonic beasts stopped in their tracks!
Just like that, one man and one sword, the fight lasted for two hours before the beast tide finally came to an end!
Nalan Lengling’s physical strength had long been exhausted. After confirming that the beast tide had been completely defeated, she finally collapsed.
Nalan Lengling leaned against the mountain of corpses, her breathe unusually heavy.
Ever since she broke through to the core formation realm, this was the first time she experienced various feelings.
“Are you all… Okay?”
Nalan Lengling looked at the rest of the people. They were fine, only Leng Wuyou was slightly injured.
“It’s good that you’re all okay. I’ll give up on the talisman edict and handle the punishment. I’m going to bring w.a.n.g Cheng back to the sect now. You guys can go back by yourselves.”
As she spoke, Nalan Lengling called her flying crane over. However, the scene before her eyes made her even more shocked!
All of Victor’s injuries were slowly healing, and his life force was also gradually recovering.
“Strange… After consuming the Blood Burning Pill, logically speaking, he should have been a cripple a long time ago…”
“Senior sister, what happened?”
“w.a.n.g Cheng’s injuries are healing. Though I’ve never heard of such phenomenon before.”
“Really?”
Hearing this news, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
If something really happened to w.a.n.g Cheng, they would feel guilty for the rest of their lives,
“Rest here and wait for w.a.n.g Cheng to wake up before making any plans.”
Seeing that Victor was fine, Nalan Lengling also let out a sigh of relief. She sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recover her spiritual energy.
An hour later, Victor felt that it was time to wake up. Only then did he slowly open his eyes and get up from the flying crane.
“Senior sister… Everyone…”
“w.a.n.g Cheng, you’re awake.”
“The beast tide, is it over?”
“Yes, it’s over. It’s all over.”
“That’s good…”
“B*stard! You scared me to death!”
At the right time, Lian Hua rushed over and threw herself into Victor’s arms.
“Alright… Sister, am I not alright?”
“You rushed out without saying anything. Are you trying to scare me to death!”
“It was indeed too dangerous, but everyone survived. Isn’t this the best ending?”
Victor rubbed Lian Hua’s head and helped her wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Then, he turned his head to look at Nalan Lengling.
“Senior sister, logically speaking, after consuming the Blood Burning Pill…”
“All the spiritual meridians in your body should be broken, and your foundation should be shattered. From then on, you’ll become a cripple.”
“But now, I still have cultivation at the foundation establishment realm. In fact, I’m even one step closer.”
“You don’t know the reason?”
Victor shook his head and said nothing.
“This is strange. No one can escape the effects of the Blood Burning Pill…. However, it’s good that you survived.”
After saying this, Nalan Lengling revealed a smile.
“Senior sister, your smile is really beautiful. You usually have a straight face and I don’t even dare to talk to you.”
Victor’s old face turned red and he scratched his head.
Looking at Victor’s superb acting skills, Lian Hua pursed her lips.
Along the way, Lian Hua saw Victor pretending to be innocent and pitiful, which made her feel disgusted. However, she had no way to expose Victor, which made her even more depressed.
“Lecher… lecher…”
