Not only did Yang Botao not accept the attack, he had also carried Yang Botao up into the air. The silhouette hollered and changed his direction at the last moment, leaping up from halfway up the mountain. His body was like a javelin as he leaped hundreds of feet into the air, grabbing onto Yang Botao's legs by a hair's breadth. "Come down!"
Yang Botao had just gotten rid of the enemy and had yet to catch his breath. Moreover, he had just gotten up and the wind was still rising. With a soft sound, Yang Botao was pulled down by the person.
However, the wind howled once more, chasing after him with a howl.
Yang Botao was caught in the middle of the two tugs. Due to the fact that he was unconscious, his mystical Qi could only circulate passively. How could he withstand such a pull? He spat out a mouthful of blood while Yang Botao slowly regained consciousness, only to see a green silhouette pouncing towards him from midair.
His body was being carried by someone as he ran for his life.
"Put me down!"
Yang Botao coughed, calling out with an unknown source of strength, "It's Lord Supreme Wind up there! Yang Botao has something to say!"
The person carrying him was startled by this sudden reaction. He did not expect that he would suddenly be ambushed, and that the person who ambushed him was … Yang Botao himself. The moment Yang Botao regained consciousness, he suddenly gathered all the strength in his body, and with a desperate stance, he struck the person's back with his palm!
Although Yang Botao was seriously injured, as the commander of an army, his profound Qi cultivation was naturally not mediocre. Moreover, under such a situation where there was no distance between them and they were completely defenseless, Yang Botao had suddenly struck a vital point on his back. Even if the black-clothed man's cultivation was far above Yang Botao's, he still violently spat out a mouthful of blood. His body staggered, and Yang Botao, who was behind him, was separated from his back. He tumbled down and crashed into a large tree trunk, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"You – you – you bastard!" The black-clothed man felt as if all the bones in his back had been shattered by Yang Botao's palm, and his eyes widened in anger.
Yun Yang was surprised to see the sudden turn of events, but he quickly adapted to the situation and focused his attack on the black silhouette. The black silhouette, who had been passively attacked by Yang Botao's palm, lost his footing and was flustered. How could he deal with Yang Botao's ferocious attack? He was struck once again, his entire body slamming against the tree trunk, almost fainting from the pain. He knew that he had suffered a serious internal injury. Seeing the green ball of wind slowly descending, his intention to pursue was obvious. He cursed hatefully, "Good words can't persuade a damned ghost. Even if you pull yourself out of the gates of hell, you'll still crash back into it!"
With that said, he turned around and left.
He couldn't stay any longer. If he stayed any longer, he would probably die here as well!
Yang Botao's mind was in a trance as he watched a cyan gas swirl down from the sky and land in front of him. It was a cyan silhouette, ethereal and indistinct.
He could not help but ask, "May I ask if Supreme Wind is here in person?"
Yun Yang replied faintly, "Yang Botao, what do you have to say to me?"
Yang Botao's earlier attack had injured the black silhouette, but he had also suffered from the reverse impact of the mystical Qi. With his frail body that had been repeatedly injured, he was in a precarious situation. With just a slight struggle, the mystical steel arrow at his waist had almost split his upper and lower body into two. It was obvious that he would not survive. Spitting out mouthfuls of blood, he no longer had the air of a marshal of the northern troop.
He stared at Yun Yang and said, "Lord Supreme Wind, is my wife …"
Yun Yang pondered and said, "You should know your wife's personality. Think about it yourself, how likely is it that she's still alive now?"
Yang Botao's gaze dimmed as he said, "I've let her down!"
Yun Yang said coldly, "Yang Botao, you haven't let her down, nor have you let me down. But as a citizen of Yutang, don't you feel that you've let down this country? Let down the brothers who shouldn't have died but have died because of what you've done? "
Yang Botao's gaze dimmed as he said, "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in talking more."
Yun Yang's murderous intent had long been uncontrollable. If Yang Botao had not risked his life to attack the black silhouette, Yun Yang would not have given him a chance to speak. He said in a low voice, "You said you had something to tell me just now. Was it only to ask about your wife's whereabouts?"
Yang Botao chuckled with difficulty, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth as he said bitterly, "When I was young, my parents were kind and loving. My days were happy and peaceful. However, when I was twelve, my mother passed away in an accident. My father was traumatized and disappeared … It was also that year that I entered the military …"
"After so many years of war, I became the marshal of the northern troop. I, Yang Botao, could be considered to have achieved success and recognition. I don't think I've disgraced my ancestors. "
"It was until the year before last when my father found me. He looked haggard, like he didn't have long to live … "
Yang Botao chuckled miserably and said, "At the time, I reunited with my family after a long separation. Other than being overjoyed, I also lamented that I wanted to raise my son but my parents weren't around. I waited by my father's bedside for months and even missed a great battle …"
"However, there was only one wish in my heart then. As long as my father could recover, I, Yang Botao, would willingly die for it, even if I, Yang Botao, had to die a horrible death!"
"It was a pity that no one could make my father's health better, even if I, Yang Botao, had to die a horrible death, just as I was feeling helpless and heartbroken, my father told me that his injuries were incurable, but there was still a way for him to continue living. It was just that this method was extremely difficult."
Yun Yang listened carefully.
Yang Botao's voice was weak.
Every word he uttered was choppy.
However, Yun Yang knew that what Yang Botao was saying now was not a lie.
"From the mouths of the many doctors I'd invited, I'd already known that my father's illness was incurable and that there would be no turning point. Yet, hearing my father say that there was a way, it was heavenly. Back then, I only knew that I had to save my father's life. Even if I had to go through a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, I wouldn't hesitate. What difficulty was there to be afraid of? Therefore, my father told me that his physical condition was one that defied nature, an injury inflicted by heaven's wrath. This injury was incurable and incurable. No spiritual medicine, arcane art or cultivation method could do anything about it. Only the most fundamental power in this world could heal it. In addition, a single source of power was also useless. The nine forces of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, blood, wind, and cloud had to be gathered together to help him change the five elements, cleanse his blood, temper his bones with wind and thunder, and solidify his form with the help of the clouds. Only then could he be reborn and fully healed. However, in order to complete this task, I would need the Nine Supremes to gather. This has stumped me. This stumped me, because this matter had far exceeded the scope of my authority. "
"It's not just a question of whether I can do it. Not to mention that I can't find the Nine Supremes. Even if we could meet one or two of them, there wouldn't be much of a chance for us to talk. Let's just say that the Nine Supremes Lords have been assisting Yutang's battlefield all year round. How can we trouble the Nine Supremes Lords for one family? "
"Not to mention the fact that His Majesty has already ordered everyone to gather information about the Nine Supremes."
"I've worried about this day and night. I've ventured to the Residence of Nine Supremes many times, but I've never had the chance to meet him."
"Then, father told me that he could ask for help from the Nine Supremes himself because he had a treasure that could move the Nine Supremes to help him – the Nine-Beam Rainbow Herb. As long as he can see the Nine Supremes, he'll exchange the Nine-Beam Rainbow Herb for a chance to live. If the Nine Supremes still don't agree, then he'll use my name to beg. "
Yun Yang sighed. "You believe that?"
Nine-sky Rainbow Herb.
It was the legendary divine item of heaven and earth, a creation item of absolute class!
The Nine Firmament Rainbow Herb was an extremely miraculous item. According to legend, when the sky was filled with endless purple clouds, nine rainbows would appear. The moment these nine rainbows appeared, lightning would descend from the sky. If this lightning struck someone … then the nine rainbows in the sky would enter the dantian of this person. If this person was a Xuan cultivator, then the nine rainbows would transform into the Nine Firmament Rainbow Herb in his dantian!
The Nine-Beam Rainbow Herb had nine colors and nine leaves.
Each leaf had the purest luster.
If someone ate all nine leaves of the Nine-Beam Rainbow Herb, not only would he be immortal and invincible, he would also have the cultivation base of a God that could shatter the heavens with one hand and shatter the earth with a stomp of his feet. It would not be an exaggeration to call him an eternal immortal!
If it was shared among nine people, these nine people would become long-lasting brothers, establishing the foundation of immortalhood. As long as everyone worked together, they could become eternal immortals in time.
However, the above was only a legend!
Without actual proof, no one would take it seriously.
First of all, the conditions for the emergence of the Nine-Beam Rainbow Herb were too harsh. Not to mention how many years it took for the purple clouds to appear, the fact that nine rainbows had to appear at the same time when the purple clouds filled the sky was something that might not even happen once in a billion years.
What was even more ridiculous was that there had to be thunder and lightning at this time.
When the purple clouds filled the sky and rainbows followed, it would most likely be a sunny day. How could there be thunder and lightning at that time?
Therefore, the timing was very unlikely.
Not to mention that the lightning had to fall and strike a person, and this person had to be a mystical cultivator …
This was even more ridiculous.
How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
Furthermore, even if all of the above were true, the Nine Firmament Rainbow Herb had to be nurtured and grown in that lucky person's Dantian. Since the Rainbow Herb had such miraculous effects, the amount of nutrients it needed during its growth must be astonishing. What kind of Mystic Cultivator could afford it? Furthermore, even if a Mystic Cultivator could afford it, it should be someone with considerable attainments in Xuan Qi. Who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for a blade of grass and another person?!
