Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Xi’s expression was extremely gloomy. At the same time, the spiritual power in his body was starting to show signs of being stretched to the limit.
He hurriedly took out over a hundred jade bottles from his storage bag. Among them were filled with elixirs that could quickly recover spiritual power.
At this moment, he could not care less about saving. After throwing some to Qing Zhu, he stuffed them into his mouth in large mouthfuls. The way he devoured them made Qing Zhu slightly stunned.
“Are you waiting to die if you don’t replenish your spiritual power quickly?!” Gu Xi shouted at Qing Zhu. At this moment, he could not care less whether this woman was from the Central Plains or how powerful her background was!
At the moment of life and death, these were nothing!
Qing Zhu was also frightened by this shout and recovered from her shock. She did not have the time to blame Gu Xi for this rude attitude. She hurriedly imitated Gu Xi and began to swallow the medicinal pills in big mouthfuls.
At the same time, the landscape painting above had already undergone a huge change. The landscape and trees grew out of the painting. The landscape covered a large area of the sky, blocking the entire rear of the spirit boat.
Seeing this, Gu Xi’s expression was joyful, but soon after, his expression sank.
Crack crack crack–
A clear sound suddenly sounded. Although it was covered by many booming sounds, it still clearly reached everyone’s ears.
Gu Xi looked up with some panic, only to see that the surface of the painting scroll that was more than a thousand feet long had already started to show many fine cracks.
With just a glance, more than half of the painting scroll that was more than a thousand feet long had already collapsed!
It’s over!
Gu Xi’s heart sank, and even the speed at which he was taking the pills slowed down.
Immediately after, this heaven-grade spirit tool completely collapsed, and the wave of space collapse did not stop at all as it charged toward the spirit boat below.
Although the wave successfully destroyed the defenses of Elder Yun and Elder Gu, their defenses were not completely ineffective. Compared to just now, this wave had clearly been worn down by more than half!
Even so, the destructive aura that pounced towards them still caused their faces to instantly turn incomparably pale.
In the next moment, the wave rushed over and ruthlessly crashed onto the spirit boat.
Boom boom boom boom–
A series of explosions sounded, and ripples continuously appeared on the surface of the barrier that enveloped the spirit boat. Among them, the spirit boat even shook violently.
Fortunately, Gu Xi and Qing Zhu were already prepared. Gu Xi grabbed Song Qingluan, who had fainted on the side, and the three of them almost fell out of the spirit boat by the huge shake.
At this moment, Gu Xi was covered in cold sweat. He had managed to adjust his condition with great difficulty and subconsciously looked up. He saw that the originally transparent barrier was constantly squirming, as if it could collapse at any time.
However, fortunately, this attack was blocked in the end.
Everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Gu Xi and Qing Zhu once again began to eat medicinal pills in large mouthfuls. At the same time, the spirit energy in their Dantian also disappeared like flowing water.
Even though the two of them had already tried their best to restore their spiritual power, the speed of recovery was not proportional to the speed of consumption at all. This also caused the speed of the spirit boat to gradually slow down.
If this continued, when their spiritual power was completely exhausted, the speed of the spirit boat would once again recover to its previous speed!
After enduring this attack, just as they were heaving a sigh of relief, another wave appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly approaching them.
For a moment, even Elder Gu and Elder Yun could not help but feel despair.
“We have to endure this attack!”
Looking at the rapidly approaching wave from above, Elder Yun spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Elder Gu nodded his head lightly, his eyes occasionally bursting with light. Clearly, he was prepared to attack at any time.
“Brother Gu… if the two of us were to escape, what chance do you think we have?”
Yun Zhiyi looked at Elder Gu by the side and smiled with a strange expression.
“It’s only a 20 percent chance.” Elder Gu spoke indifferently and continued, “However, even if there is a 100 percent chance, this old man will definitely not leave Miss to run for my life alone!”
His tone was very firm, and he even had the intention of dying here.
Yun Zhiyi glanced at Qing Zhu below, then looked at Gu Xi who was desperately pouring in spirit energy, and Song Qingluan who had fainted. Finally, his gaze fell on the approaching wave, and he smiled helplessly. “It’s been ten thousand years since I met these two talented little guys. I really can’t bear to abandon them here.”
Elder Gu looked at Yun Zhiyi in surprise but did not speak.
“If that’s the case, then let me, who should have died a long time ago, try again.”
A moment later, Yun Zhiyi spoke again. His voice was filled with regret and loneliness.
In the next moment, he tapped lightly on the void with the tip of his foot and his figure rose once again.
In the next moment, the initial stage of the Great Saint realm burst out from his body without holding anything back. Soon after, his voice traveled slowly into Elder Gu’s ears.
“Brother Gu, although we don’t know each other very well, if I can’t overcome this tribulation, I hope that you can treat my two disciples well.”
After a moment of silence, Elder Gu nodded his head.
Seeing this, Yun Zhiyi finally relaxed completely.
Immediately after, spiritual patterns surged out from his other clothes again. However, compared to before, this time, the spiritual patterns were much more condensed.
His eyes lit up slightly, and his hair started to turn snow-white at an extremely fast speed. His face, which had already been weathered by the wind and Frost, began to wither and age.
“Burning his life force, huh…” looking at the changes in Yun Zhiyi above, Elder Gu could not help but mutter.
Below, Gu Xi and Yun Zhiyi also noticed the changes in Elder Yun, and Gu Xi’s expression immediately became ferocious.
“Elder Yun!” he roared loudly, wanting to stop Elder Yun, but he had no choice but to stay here to provide impetus for the spirit boat’s rapid advance.
If he were to abandon his post, perhaps all the people present would die here.
Elder Yun turned a deaf ear to Gu Xi’s roar, only to see an invisible flame burning from within his body. This was his flame of life!
During the time when the flame of life burned, his strength would increase greatly, but at the same time, his lifespan would also begin to decrease greatly.
No one knew how long Elder Yun’s lifespan was, or whether he could afford to burn the flame of life. Even he himself did not know, but he had no other choice now.
He and Gu Xi would have to pay a huge price to block this attack, but he had resolutely chosen to sacrifice himself.
“I have lived for more than 10,000 years. I have to leave hope to the juniors,” Yun Zhiyi muttered. His voice became increasingly hoarse, as if he was about to die.
