Ling Tian began to carefully inspect the Divine Black Negative Meridians in her body. He discovered that even after Ling Chen had absorbed it for a period of time, the density of the Cold Qi did not show any signs of weakening! Although the outer layer of Cold Qi was being sucked away quickly, the most important and densest part of the Cold Qi was still not affected. After the outer layer of Cold Qi was being sucked away by Ling Chen, the Divine Black Negative Meridians continued to release another wave of Cold Qi, filling Yu BingYan's entire body.
Ling Chen's crazy absorption seemed to be like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood!
Ling Tian's heart sank as he shouted, "Li Xue, immediately get rid of the Divine Black Negative Qi in Ling Chen's body. However much Ling Chen absorbs, you have to expel it out of her body! Let me warn you, if you still have the thought of absorbing the Divine Black Negative Meridians to increase your strength, I'm afraid that the four of us will be frozen into zombies! All of our plans can wait until the last part of the Divine Black Negative Meridians is removed. The current strength is definitely not something that we can withstand! This strength is too strong! "
Li Xue was shocked. She had never thought that the Divine Black Negative Meridians in Yu BingYan's body would be so terrifying! With regards to Ling Tian's words, she naturally believed it without a doubt. She hurriedly gathered all the True Power in her body and imitated Ling Chen's method of absorbing the Cold Qi.
Only with this action did Li Xue truly feel the abnormality. The Cold Qi in Ling Chen's body had already reached the limit of what she could withstand. But the Cold Qi in Yu BingYan's body was still being absorbed. And it could no longer be considered as' absorbing ', it was basically' surging 'into Ling Chen's body. If not for Li Xue, Ling Tian, Ling Chen and Yu BingYan would definitely have died here!
Li Xue focused all her attention on absorbing the Cold Qi in Ling Chen's body, and her heart grew heavy. He knew that this time, the four of them were on the line of life and death at the same time, and the only one who had the ability to resolve this situation was himself!
The only way was to use his Divine Ice Skill, which was two levels higher than Ling Chen's, to absorb the cold poison into his body, dissolve it, and then expel it from his body.
This cold poison had to go through Ling Chen's body before it could be expelled by Li Xue, who had the same source of internal energy. If it was directly expelled from Yu BingYan's body, the two of them would probably be frozen solid in an instant!
Her right hand was tightly pressed against Ling Chen's smooth back, while Li Xue's left hand was raised in front of her chest, slanting towards the ventilation hole in the stone chamber. Traces of Cold Qi were sucked out from Ling Chen's body, and then circulated around Li Xue's body. A thick white Qi was spat out from the center of her left palm, and without any deviation, it drilled into the ventilation hole and disappeared without a trace.
This was where Li Xue's intelligence lay. The temperature in the stone chamber was already frighteningly low, and if she were to casually release the Cold Qi into the stone chamber, by the time Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians were removed, this stone chamber would have turned into an extremely cold ice cave. At that time, the four of them would basically be like oil lamps that had run out of oil, and it was inevitable that something would happen. So Li Xue might as well directly expel the Cold Qi from the ventilation hole. Although this would waste more Qi, but it would ensure their safety.
Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief, and finally began to operate according to his plan. Following that, he immersed his mind into it again …
In the stone chamber, the four of them were completely motionless. Yu BingYan had already fainted, and Ling Tian and the other two were already deeply immersed in their cultivation, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
Ling Tian unleashed all of his Pure Yang Internal Energy, causing the Cold Qi in Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians to be released bit by bit, inch by inch, to the other meridians in Yu BingYan's body. Ling Tian was very clear that the entire process could not be rushed. If he was too hasty, the Cold Qi of the Divine Black Negative Meridians would suddenly surge out, and Ling Chen would not be able to react in time, and Li Xue would not be able to expel the Cold Qi in time. Then, it would be completely over, and the four of them would be frozen solid. Even if the people outside noticed and came to rescue them, it would be too late.
At this moment, Ling Tian's Pure Yang Internal Energy had already penetrated deep into the core of the Divine Black Negative Meridians. If he did not move, the Cold Qi would condense back to its original position, and then, all of his previous efforts would be in vain. Furthermore, the Cold Qi had already spread throughout Yu BingYan's entire body. As long as his Pure Yang Internal Energy retreated slightly, the beauty would immediately die. Because of the Cold Qi, Ling Chen and Li Xue, who had already become one with Yu BingYan, would definitely be sent to hell …
The current Ling Tian was like a man walking on a tightrope. Furthermore, it was a tightrope that was thousands of feet above a cliff. Sadly, Ling Tian did not have any safety equipment on him …
Therefore, although the current Ling Tian was a little more relaxed in terms of strength, his mental state was extremely tense.
Before this extraction, Ling Tian was confident that he had already made all the preparations. But the process was actually so dangerous that it had greatly exceeded Ling Tian's expectations. Although his previous confidence was not completely gone, there was not much left!
The situation in front of him was really too dangerous!
Ling Chen's purest Pure Yang Internal Energy filled Yu BingYan's meridians, forming a small True Qi vortex. The Cold Qi that had just been released from Yu BingYan's body was absorbed like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, changing the attribute of the Cold Qi, turning the chronic illness into a tonic. This non-stop absorption had already been going on for close to four hours. But when Ling Tian used his inner vision, he discovered that the Divine Black Negative Meridians in Yu BingYan's body had not decreased by much …
Li Xue's face was solemn. Her left palm was placed horizontally in front of her chest, and a cold white mist as thick as a pigeon's egg was continuously flowing out, endlessly being sent into the air vent …
Ling Tian could finally confirm that the process of extracting the poison this time was like a foolish old man moving a mountain.
If he wanted to completely remove the Divine Black Negative Meridians from Yu BingYan, according to the current situation, it would take at least three more days! The biggest problem now was that in these three days, the four of them had to remain motionless and maintain their current state. Especially Ling Tian, Ling Chen, and Li Xue. No matter which one of them had a problem, it would mean that they had failed this time!
The consequences of failure would be eternal damnation!
If he did not hesitate to expose the Flood Dragon's Inner Core, would it be better to ask Justice for help?! For the first time in his life, Ling Tian, who had never doubted his own decisions, was doubting his own choice!
The only thing that Ling Tian rejoiced over was that he had arranged for the weakest of the three, Ling Chen, to be in the most relaxed position in the middle. Regardless of whether it was Ling Tian's position or Li Xue's position, they would need to constantly circulate their Inner Qi through their meridians. If they did not have outstanding mental strength, even if an ordinary person had the strength to endure through this period of time, their mental state would most likely collapse!
Walking on a tightrope for three days and three nights at a high altitude … how could an ordinary person endure it?
Thankfully, Ling Tian and Li Xue were both ordinary people. Their mental fortitude was definitely above anyone else in this world. In terms of mental fortitude, even Li Xue was much stronger than the number one expert in the world, Justice! This was because these two freaks were people who had truly walked through the Yellow Springs Road. They were monsters who had forcefully passed through the Yellow Springs Road. After experiencing life and death, their mental toughness was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
If the mental fortitude of an ordinary martial arts expert was like a thin thread, then Ling Tian and Li Xue's mental fortitude was like a steel wire. Furthermore, it was extremely thick … er, rebar.
He and Li Xue could do it, but what about Ling Chen? Could she do it as well? Right now, he could only hope that Li Xue's training would allow her to endure. He had to endure it!
Time flowed by bit by bit …
Gradually, a day passed …
Another day and night had passed ….
The warriors outside the Ling House's courtyard suddenly felt that the weather had unexpectedly turned cold. Furthermore, it was so cold that it was abnormal. As long as they walked out of the Ling House's courtyard, the further they walked, the warmer it became. But as long as they entered the vicinity of the Ling House's courtyard, a bone-piercing cold would permeate the air. The closer they got to the secret grounds, the colder it became! Even those who had reached a certain level of mastery in their martial arts would shiver from this sudden chill!
A few warriors unintentionally climbed to the top of the mountain and were instantly given a fright. More than half of the countless flowers and trees at the core of the courtyard had already withered. The ground was also covered in a thick layer of snow …
A thick layer of frost covered the entire forest, and even the pine trees were covered in a thick layer of frost. Under the rays of the sun, it was a beautiful sight to behold!
The moment this news spread, many people wanted to climb up the mountain to witness this rare sight. But Ling Jian immediately issued a strict order from within the mountain: No matter who it was, anyone who dared to climb up the mountain without permission would be killed without mercy!
Once this order was issued, everyone instantly fell silent.
Following that, Ling Jian issued a second order: Feng, Yun, Lei, and Dian were to guard the north, south, east, and west of the mountain. Even a fly would not be able to fly into the mountain under the eyes of the four of them!
Thus, there were four more first-class assassins guarding the mountain!
On this point, Ling Jian was worrying too much. The back of the mountain suddenly turned chilly and all the animals that could move, run or fly had already fled far away. Humans might be able to come up here, but flies would definitely not go over there …
At this moment, in the secret passage of the mountain, even an ice cellar would be hard pressed to compare. Ling Jian sat cross-legged, his hand still holding the hilt of his black iron sword. The shining sword was placed horizontally on his knees, his face cold and expressionless.
Young master and lass Chen had already been in there for two days and two nights!
Even with Ling Jian's profound cultivation, he wouldn't be invaded by the cold air in the secret passage. However, he still felt the chill and felt extremely uncomfortable. His heart was filled with anxiety and worry, and he had long had the urge to enter the secret chamber. However, when he thought about Ling Tian's instructions, he knew that he had to remain calm. Especially on the surface, he had to put on a calm and collected expression and appear to be full of confidence. Otherwise … the courtyard would definitely be in chaos!
The entrance of the cave gently opened, and Ling Jian carried a box of food as he tiptoed over, gently placing it in front of Ling Jian. He looked at Ling Jian for a while, as if he had something to say. But in the end, he did not say anything, bowing and retreating.
"What's the matter?" Ling Jian's eyes suddenly opened, two rays of light shooting out.
"Senior Justice's methods are truly amazing. All the injured have recovered greatly, and most of them have regained the ability to move. Ling House's strength has already recovered to more than eighty percent of its peak. All of the brothers hate the Lei Family to the bone, and wanted me to ask Brother Jian when we will take action to repay them." Ling Chi stammered.
"Oh." Ling Jian closed his eyes again, indifferently saying, "Now is not the time. You can leave first." He did not say what exactly they were going to do, but Ling Chi did not dare to ask any more questions. He acknowledged and retreated. Ling Chi, who had turned to leave, suddenly had a look of worry on his face.
Ling Jian heard the sound of Ling Chi's footsteps gradually fading into the distance. Finally, he opened his eyes and stared at the sword on his knees. After a long time, he said quietly, "Give the Lei Family a good show … How could I not wish to do so … But since young noble is not coming out, I can only wait."
A sharp killing intent surged out, and the sword on Ling Jian's knees emitted a 'ding' sound, as though it had smelled the scent of blood and desired the nourishment of fresh blood …
In the courtyard, Justice stood on a tree branch with his hands behind his back, feeling the unusual chill in the air. His hawk-like eyes stared at the silvery white wall with a heavy expression on his face.
If there was anyone who knew what had happened in the stone chamber, it would be this senior!
After a long time, Ling Tian sighed softly and muttered to himself, "… Divine Black Negative Meridians … Ling Tian, you have finally begun. I only hope that you will be able to endure it …" With a light sigh, his figure flashed and he disappeared without a trace.
Although the abnormality in the courtyard of the Ling House was strange, it did not affect the situation of the world. In the Southern battlefield, Ling Xiao was currently in the midst of collecting the spoils of war in the Southern Zheng. After the war, everything was already in order …
Within the borders of Eastern Zhao, Shen RuHu and DongFang JingLei's cooperation was becoming more and more tacit. The two of them were like two gigantic swords, carrying out a pincer attack on Eastern Zhao. All the discordant notes had already been cleared away. Right now, it was time for them to rest and reorganize. They were strict with the government, sending out officials to pacify the situation after the war. With a steel blade in one hand and a carrot in the other, both hands were extremely firm.
In the Southeast, the Ling family's army was under the command of Yu YanHai. They were marching towards the Southeast. Yu YanHai had given the order that the moment the flood receded, even if all of them were to die here, they must take down the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass!
At the same time, the head of the Xiao family, Old Master Xiao FengHan, had also gone crazy! The higher-ups of the Xiao family, who were in charge of clearing the Blue Jade River, were jumping up and down as they cursed. If they could not clear the Blue Jade River, there was no need for them to return. Even if they had to use their own heads to ram the Blue Jade River, they had to clear the Blue Jade River! My Xiao Clan's army still has 400,000 soldiers outside!
In fact, the news of the Xiao family's army being wiped out had already been sent to the Southeast via messenger pigeons. However, there was still no news from the Xiao family's Second Master, Xiao FengYang. This also became the only hope left in Xiao FengHan's heart.
Furthermore, the 500 experts from Above Heavens who had secretly infiltrated Sky Bearing had also become one of Xiao FengHan's hopes. Xiao FengHan believed that as long as the Blue Jade River was cleared and the roads were cleared, the Xiao family would definitely send out their troops again. At that time, his Second Brother would definitely be hiding somewhere. At that time, his Second Brother would definitely coordinate with them from the inside and there was still a chance for them to rise again!
Xiao family's territory spanned three thousand miles in the Southeast. With a population of tens of millions, even if they were to send out another 500,000 or even a million soldiers, the Xiao family would definitely be able to gather them. With sufficient equipment, wouldn't such a force be enough to shake the world? So what if the Xiao family were to go bankrupt? As long as they could become the ruler of the world, a mere bit of wealth wouldn't be a problem!
Thus, during this period of time, the Xiao Clan's 200,000 elite reserve troops had been fully mobilized. Another 400,000 standing troops were also fully prepared for battle. At the same time, they were frantically recruiting soldiers. One out of three! Gathering a million soldiers wasn't just an empty promise!
Xiao FengHan even planned to amass an army of two million soldiers within the next few months. Once the Blue Jade River was successfully unblocked, he would use an army that was even more powerful than the Blue Jade River to slaughter his way out of the South-East region, staking everything on one throw!
The few officials from the Xiao family who were in charge of clearing the Blue Jade River were on the verge of tears.
That was two whole mountains! Even if they were to smash their heads against it, it wouldn't be of any use even if their heads were smashed.
First, the lower water level was completely drained, revealing the riverbed. Then, everyone was dumbfounded. Looking up from the riverbed, the 'river bank' that Ling Tian had created was even more shocking. That was a small portion of a mountain that was close to a hundred zhang tall! Apart from a few scattered rocks, any random rock would weigh at least a few thousand jin. Furthermore, all of them were pressed together tightly, as if it was a mountain that had existed since ancient times …
Ling Tian, Young Master Ling, Old Master Ling, how did you do it?!
It had to be said that this move of Ling Tian's was really too vicious and too ruthless!
The Xiao family's project had been going on for a month, but they hadn't even completed one-fifth of it …
Everyone was trembling with fear. Working under the feet of such a huge monster, and the goal was to move this huge monster away in a short period of time … Who wouldn't feel fear in their hearts?
Just clearing the rocks at the periphery was fine. But if the entire river bank was really moved, none of the people in charge of clearing it would be able to escape! Behind the collapse of the mountain, there was still the flow of water ah …
Even if their lives were worthless, no one would be willing to take their lives as a joke just to exchange for a large sum of money. No matter how much money there was, one had to be alive to spend it, right? In just this short period of time, many people had already been smashed to death by the rocks …
Thus, no matter how the Xiao family increased the reward, the progress of the project was still as slow as a snail. In the end, Xiao FengHan steeled his heart and gave out an order. "For those soldiers who died in clearing the Blue Jade River, each of them will be compensated with a thousand taels of silver. But if any of them slacked off, their entire family will be executed!
With such a heavy reward and severe punishment, the progress of the project was greatly accelerated. At this time, Yu YanHai's army had already reached the mountain peak not far from the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass. They were conserving their energy and waiting for the Xiao family to recede the flood. Then, Commander Yu would lead the army forward and take advantage of the situation.
Xiao FengHan, Old Master Xiao's temper was also a little too big. After knowing the whereabouts of Yu YanHai's army, he was so angry that he almost choked to death …
I don't know what kind of damned method you used to block the entire Blue Jade River, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in the Southeast region, causing the entire Southeast region to be in deep water and scorching heat. You still aren't satisfied? At this time, you actually want to take advantage of the situation and snatch my Xiao family's Heavenly Water Ravine Pass?
Thus, Old Master Xiao waved his brush and ordered the 600,000 soldiers of the Xiao family in the Southeast region, as well as the original 200,000 elites, to rush forward, facing Yu YanHai with the flood in between them!
No matter what, they had to bury Yu YanHai, this ignorant brute who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, along with his 200,000 soldiers in the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass!
The Xiao family's soldiers and craftsmen had paid a huge price, but there was finally some progress. As the Blue Jade River's water was cleared faster and faster, the Southeast region was filled with the clouds of war, as though a storm was brewing!
The entire continent could smell the faint scent of blood coming from the Southeast region.
Meng Lige was in Sky Bearing, continuously giving out orders. The Ling family's reinforcements flooded in like a flood, and at the same time, he ordered Grand Marshal Ling's army in the South to split into 100,000 troops to reinforce Yu YanHai. He also ordered Shen RuHu to quickly end the matter in Eastern Zhao and reinforce Yu YanHai.
The situation in the other half of the continent was about to become even more bloody as the Blue Jade River flowed out!
At the same time, the Northern Wei's Tamago army was also advancing triumphantly, sweeping through the Western Han like a hot knife through butter. They led their army into Wu and won one battle after another. Wu's cities fell one after another, and their morale was at an all-time high. The bountiful rewards of the war were not inferior to the rewards of the Ling family.
It was only when they reached Bright Moon City that they were ambushed in the Yellow Page Canyon. Tamago's Grand Marshal Yu LiuQing actually died on the spot. It was said that if not for the XiMen Family's Family Head XiMen Sa stabilizing the morale of the troops and turning the tides, the Tamago army would have been completely routed!
XiMen Sa became a famous figure in the Tamago army, and in order to reward him, Yu ManLou personally passed down an order to appoint XiMen Sa as the deputy commander of the army. At the same time, Yu ManTang took over the position and led the Tamago army to continue attacking Wu.
Yu ManLou gave a strict order: Within half a month, they had to take down Wu and return north!
The entire Heavenly Star Continent was filled with war crimson, with blood flowing like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains!
The reason why Yu ManLou rewarded XiMen Sa was because he had no choice. Even his second brother, Yu ManTang, was not what Yu ManLou wished for. XiMen Sa's military prowess was outstanding, and while he surrendered to Yu ManLou, the elites of the XiMen Family were still intact. The higher the prestige of XiMen Sa in the army, the more Yu ManLou felt as though there was a thorn in his back. If possible, Yu ManLou would rather behead XiMen Sa than place him in such an important position. While XiMen Sa was young, he definitely couldn't be underestimated. XiMen Sa was definitely a dangerous character, and Yu ManLou would never do something like nurturing a tiger.
As for Yu ManTang, he had always been the best choice to lead the army in Tamago. If there was someone who could match up to the other commanders on the battlefield, and even have a chance of victory, it would only be Yu ManTang in the entire Tamago, apart from Yu ManLou himself. However, what made Yu ManLou apprehensive was that Yu ManTang's daughter, Yu BingYan, had publicly rejected the orders of the family elders, and had already married Ling Tian. No matter what, Yu BingYan was Yu ManTang's only child, and the apple of his eye. She definitely had feelings for Ling Tian. If Yu ManTang were to go up against Ling Tian, no one would be able to predict the outcome. Yu ManLou was even more unwilling to take such a risk.
