A shrill shriek rang out beside him.
Mr. Nian finally saw the so-called recoil for the first time!
Summer Envoy had swung his saber too hard, and his strength was not enough to control it as he wished. Finally, the saber had landed on the girl in white. Not only did the girl not evade, she charged forward in the opposite direction, thrusting herself between the Winter and Summer Envoys. She stabbed Winter Envoy viciously, piercing a bloody hole in his shoulder.
Then, on her body, a faint red light slowly emerged.
Summer Envoy's saber force was like snow that had met the blazing sun; it was extinguished and melted instantly. His body, clad in red, was struck head-on by the red light.
With a pained howl, he was flung away, flailing his limbs. Somewhere high up in the sky, pieces of his internal organs were spewing out of his mouth.
Looking at the current situation, Mr. Nian knew clearly that Summer Envoy was done for!
Summer Envoy's body was already at its limit from the accumulation of overexertion. Now that he was suffering from a recoil, it triggered all the negative effects in his body. There was no way he could be lucky.
Sure enough, the next moment, Summer Messenger's body, which was still rising, suddenly disintegrated in the air and turned into ashes that filled the sky, becoming one with the dust of the sky.
"Go!"
Mr. Nian bellowed as a signal. At the same time, the sword in his hand glowed with a blinding white light that had never been seen before. With a swift spin in the air, he and his sword morphed into a long dragon that resembled a rolling cylinder. His entire body was resplendent, glimmering with a blinding radiance as he plunged towards Yun Yang!
Yun Yang had first unleashed his ultimate skill and then killed a few people consecutively. He was at the end of his tether now. After all, he was not made of steel. The battles that had been going on for a few days had not been faked, and he did not have to protect himself like Ji Lingxi who had the crimson light. Even with Emmie's support, it was inevitable that he would be exhausted.
If Mr. Nian were to charge at him with the most extreme form of being one with his sword, Yun Yang could only evade with all his might.
Facing the fatal blow of this pinnacle expert, even if Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou were to join forces, they would still have to retreat!
What was more, Yun Yang who was already at his weakest.
Wielding their sword light and saber energy, Mr. Nian and the other three men were shrouded in crimson light as they worked together to break through Ji Lingxi and Yun Yang's joint defense. With a long howl of agony, they charged out of the valley.
The thick fog stirred.
The three people from before had already escaped from that direction. The three of them had to rush over to meet up.
The situation on the Four Seasons Tower's side was extremely dire. If the six men from the Four Seasons Tower did not gather together, they would be defeated and killed by Yun Yang and Ling Xian one by one sooner or later.
Even if the six lucky survivors stayed together, they might not feel any safer. After all, their opponents were too terrifying, too terrifying, and too strange!
Indeed, compared to Yun Yang and Dugu Chou's own abilities, the hidden tricks were the key to their defeat. Whether it was Yun Yang's peerless blade, the lady's protective light, or the inexplicable art of infinite Qi Replenishment, they were all tricks that were beyond common knowledge. How could they not be defeated in the face of such a strange situation?
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Nian and the other two men dashing out of the bloody canyon like a bolt of lightning. He plopped down on the ground, perspiration gushing out of his body like a fountain. For a moment, he felt like he had been washed from head to toe.
He was so tired that he could only roll his eyes. He actually felt like he couldn't even breathe properly. It was a feeling that made him want to tear his throat open to catch his breath. His vision darkened and the world spun. Lowering his head, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ji Lingxi's condition was not much better. Her legs gave out as she sat beside him, panting heavily, her pretty face pale.
Both of them were at their limits as well.
Yun Yang panted and said, "Let's … recuperate and recuperate. We have at least a day's rest …"
"A day?" Ji Lingxi asked. "You – aren't you afraid that they'll run away?"
Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, panting, "They won't be able to run away! Not to mention the fact that they haven't achieved their goal, why would they want to run? Besides, we're already so tired. They'll only be more tired than us, and their condition will be worse. They won't be able to run even if they want to. "
"Before we recover, they won't be able to get up!"
Yun Yang sucked in a long breath, feeling like his throat was on fire. Even breathing was painful. He chuckled humorlessly and said, "Those who are still alive in this battle have all damaged their origin … except for the two of us."
Ji Lingxi said, "Damaged origin is something that can only be sensed and not explained. How can you tell?"
Yun Yang closed his eyes and snorted, saying tiredly, "What you're saying is only under normal circumstances. It's difficult to injure high-level cultivators. Their origin is where their foundation lies. Even if it's damaged, they'll have to try their best to hide it. But now … their condition has hit rock bottom. They've activated their life force's potential to retaliate with all their might. How can their foundation be damaged? Even when they're panting … their breath is red … there's a thick stench of blood …"
"It's a sign that the vitality and potential of one's life have been exhausted to the extreme, but it's hard to disguise it."
"Don't be fooled by how lively everyone was just now. Once they stop, let me tell you … even if they were lying here right now, lying beside us … they wouldn't have the strength to turn around and hit us. This situation is similar to the Four Seasons Tower's state of being paralyzed on the ground, unable to retaliate. However, the latter's life force foundation isn't too damaged. Now, the former's life force, stamina, mystical Qi, as well as mental strength and willpower have all been depleted. It's not something that can be recovered in a short period of time."
"So … today will be the most reassuring day of this battle. Go to sleep, sleep in peace."
He then stuffed a few medicinal pills into Ji Lingxi's mouth and channeled a gust of life force into her. Yun Yang did not have to trouble himself. After all, the energy stored deep within his body had always been supporting him. As long as there was enough room for him to replenish his Qi, he would be fine. After panting heavily for a moment, his breathing gradually calmed down.
Feeling much better, Yun Yang took out a pot of water. It was only then that he realized that his arm that was holding the pot was trembling. He brought it to Ji Lingxi's mouth to let her drink a few mouthfuls.
Ji Lingxi was still gulping down the water a moment ago, but in the next moment, she had already closed her eyes and was snoring softly.
The corners of Yun Yang's lips curled up soundlessly.
I'm really stupid. I didn't realize that this lass … She's really tired out these past few days!
He brought the pot to his mouth and gulped it down.
As he drank, he felt his eyelids fighting. An indescribable sense of exhaustion washed over him like a tsunami, causing him to fall asleep almost without thinking.
The pot tipped over and the water splashed all over him, but he could not feel it at all.
…
Two things.
Firstly, there's actually no need for me to explain in chapter 537. Some old bookworms will analyze where the trap is on their own, but I've still written it. Because I can't analyze more on my own … Cough.
