While Sikong Tiancai was displeased with Dong Ruyi's actions, he had no intention of letting Lu Xuan off the hook. As such, there was no way he would allow Zhao Ying to send a message to him. He abruptly mustered his powers and a huge tree root burst out from the ground beside Zhao Ying, sweeping at her.
The attack was too sudden, and Zhao Ying wasn't prepared at all. Long Boming and the others didn't have time to save her. Fortunately, Zhao Ying was strong enough to avoid being hit in her vitals in the nick of time. However, she was still struck in the back by the tree root, and she fell to the ground. She let go of the medallion and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Long Boming hurriedly rushed to Zhao Ying's side in shock. He helped her up and asked, "Elder Zhao, are you alright?"
Zhao Ying coughed and shook her head. Though she was injured, her life wasn't in danger.
Long Boming turned to glare at Sikong Tiancai. Zhao Ying was the wife of the Jiuhua Alliance's leader, and he swore to protect her even if he had to die. He swung his longsword, and a beam of sword aura shot towards Sikong Tiancai. He shouted, "Give me your life!"
Sikong Tiancai didn't need to do anything. Ku Er's soulforce surged, and the two extremely powerful forces collided, immediately helping Sikong Tiancai block the attack.
Sikong Tiancai smiled coldly, "Old man Long, don't try to show off in front of me. If I didn't want to use you as bait, you'd be dead already."
At that moment, a white figure hurried over from the sky, and came to a sudden stop in the sky above everyone!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on this figure. It was obvious that the person who had come was Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's eyes quickly swept across the area below. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw so many people present, and that both the human and soul races were gathered together. However, his eyes quickly focused on the people from the Jiuhua Alliance, and his eyes widened as he stared at the two motionless figures lying on the ground. Zhao Binger, Mutual Dependence!
"Bing 'er!" Lu Xuan cried out, and landed beside Zhao Binger in a flash.
"Bing 'er, what's wrong? Bing-er, wake up! " Lu Xuan gently patted Zhao Binger's face. His heart was filled with anxiety, but Zhao Binger didn't move at all. Only after a long time did her pulse beat.
Lu Xuan then looked at Ruo Xiangyi. She was one of the two prides of the north and south who was as famous as Zhao Binger. She had spent a year alone with Lu Xuan, and she had fallen in love with Lu Xuan for some reason. At this moment, she didn't react at all. Her body was filled with an aura of death, and her vitality was constantly flowing away.
"Xiangyi, Xiangyi, what's wrong with you two?" Lu Xuan swayed his body, feeling a sense of sadness. He never thought that his first meeting with Zhao Binger and the others in this sealed area would be like this.
"Lu Xuan …" Chen Xiaohan called out softly.
Hearing Chen Xiaohan's call, Lu Xuan woke up from his sorrow. He turned to look at her and said with a trembling voice, "Xiaohan, are you alright?"
Chen Xiaohan squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm fine. Quickly think of a way to save Bing 'er and Xiangyi. They were first attacked by the Soul Race, and then they were poisoned. They're getting worse."
"Poison? I have an antidote! " Lu Xuan slightly restrained the sadness in his heart. He suddenly remembered that he still had an antidote in his storage ring — the Golden Crow Poison Dissolving Pill!
He had exchanged the Golden Crow Poison Dissolving Pill from the Jewel Pavilion of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. It was an Earth-rank medicine, and it could definitely cure the poison in the Heavenly Sword Continent. However … he only had one Golden Crow Poison Dissolving Pill!
Hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed. She quickly said, "Lu Xuan, quickly save Bing 'er and the others. The poison is getting worse. If you wait any longer, no antidote will be able to save them."
Hearing Zhao Ying's words, Lu Xuan suddenly fell into a dilemma. Right now, Zhao Binger and Ruo Xiangyi were both poisoned, and they urgently needed to be detoxified to save their lives. However, how could a single Golden Crow Detoxification Pill save both of them? If the pill was separated, the efficacy would be greatly reduced. At that time, no one would be able to save them.
"I, I only have one antidote pill." Lu Xuan struggled to speak. He hated himself now. Why didn't he take two more Golden Crow Poison Dissolving Pills in the first place?
Hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but be stunned. One antidote pill, but two people were poisoned. How could he choose?
Looking at Lu Xuan's panicked appearance, Dong Ruyi was slightly stunned. Then, she pointed at him and laughed, "Lu Xuan, your retribution has finally come. Do you feel good now?"
"Shut up!" Lu Xuan shouted at Dong Ruyi.
Dong Ruyi naturally wouldn't shut up. She didn't expect that the two poisoned women were actually Lu Xuan's confidantes. Letting Lu Xuan watch his lovers die in front of him, Dong Ruyi felt that this was more satisfying than killing Lu Xuan with her own hands. The best way to take revenge on someone wasn't to kill them directly, but to let them watch their loved ones die in front of them.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lu Xuan, you should be glad that I didn't kill them directly. Otherwise, you would be able to see them for the last time. Weren't you very arrogant? Didn't you want to kill me? Come at me now! "Dong Ruyi impudently provoked Lu Xuan. Seeing Lu Xuan in pain made her happy.
"Then go to hell!" Lu Xuan roared. He raised the Smoky Sword and was about to rush forward. Zhao Ying was shocked when she saw this. She endured her injuries and hurriedly pulled Lu Xuan back.
"Lu Xuan, don't. Don't die for nothing. This is all a plot by the Sikong Family and the Illusion God Sect."
After being pulled back by Zhao Ying, Lu Xuan actually calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and said, "Master, what is going on?"
"The Illusory God Sect has allied with the Soul Race, and the Sikong Family has also obtained a treasure that can control this forest. Both sides have joined forces, and their strength is incomparably great. They lured all of us here, wanting to kill us all together," Zhao Ying explained.
"Join forces with the Soul Race?" Lu Xuan said through gritted teeth. His eyes revealed a trace of rage.
If the Sikong family had only allied with the Illusionary God Sect and used their treasures to attack everyone, Lu Xuan might not have been so enraged. Fighting among themselves for the sake of profit was a deep-rooted bad habit of the human race, or rather, every life form had such a bad habit. However, the Illusion God Sect had actually joined forces with the foreign races to attack their own kind. This was absolutely inhumane. They would do anything for benefits. Such people would not be regretful even if they died ten thousand times.
The reason why Ye Tian died in the Sky Sword Continent was because Duan Hongchen had joined forces with the foreign races. Therefore, Lu Xuan had a very strong hatred towards the traitors of the Soul Race and the human race. These people only had their own selfish interests in their eyes. They did not care about the greater good of the human race. Their existence was a great humiliation to the human race.
"It's time to act," Ku Er said in a low voice.
Sikong Tiancai nodded and said, "With so many of you together, you won't be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs. Then, I'll let you all accompany me."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of Long Boming and the others changed slightly. They knew that Sikong Tiancai would not give them any more time. He would kill them first and then deal with the survivors.
For a time, all the cultivators who still had the ability to fight struggled to stand up. Even if they could not escape death, they had to die in battle!
Chen Xiaohan struggled to stand up from the ground. Her steps were a little unsteady, but her eyes were incomparably resolute. Looking at the back of Lu Xuan in front of her, her resolute eyes immediately turned into a trace of tenderness. Even if she had to die, it would be worth it. At least she would be able to see Lu Xuan before she died. It was just a pity that Lu Xuan had also been caught up in this conspiracy.
"Xiaohan, you rest. I'll take care of things here," Lu Xuan said.
Chen Xiaohan shook her head, "No, I want to fight with you. Even if I die, I want to be with you."
"You won't die. Even if I have to risk my life, I want you to live." Lu Xuan looked at Chen Xiaohan and said. Although his tone was calm, it revealed a sense of firmness.
"Come, eat it. You have a good rest first." Lu Xuan pressed Chen Xiaohan back to the ground and handed her a pill. The pill's fragrance filled the air. Just from the smell, one could tell that it was not an ordinary pill. Chen Xiaohan wanted to refuse, but faced with Lu Xuan's unyielding gaze, she swallowed the pill obediently and began to meditate. A warm feeling lingered in her heart. This was the feeling of love.
What Lu Xuan handed to Chen Xiaohan was naturally the Earth-rank Grade Eight Purple-Gold Jade Elixir Pill. It was a pill of the same grade as the Golden Crow Poison Dispelling Pill. There was no problem using it to treat Chen Xiaohan's current injuries.
"Cough, cough, I feel so uncomfortable." Just as the two sides were at loggerheads and the atmosphere was incomparably solemn, a painful cough broke the silence.
Hearing this familiar voice, a hint of ecstasy flashed across Lu Xuan's face. He hurriedly turned around and squatted down to help Ruo Xiangyi up, excitedly saying, "Xiangyi, you're awake?"
"Lu Xuan?" Ruo Xiangyi struggled to open her eyes. The hazy figure in front of her gradually became clear, "You, why are you here?"
"I came to find you. How do you feel now?"
"I, I feel very good. It's good to see you." Ruo Xiangyi showed a happy smile, as if she had really gotten better. Her dark complexion faintly revealed a trace of rosy color, and her spirit also rose a little.
A bad thought flashed in Lu Xuan's mind. After being poisoned, one's body would only get worse and worse. How could it suddenly improve like Ruo Xiangyi? Unless … it was the final radiance of a setting sun!
Thinking of these four terrifying words, Lu Xuan trembled and said, "Xiangyi, don't scare me. You'll be fine, right?"
A line of clear tears fell from the corner of Ruo Xiangyi's eyes. She tightly nestled in Lu Xuan's embrace. She was now completely awake and aware of her own situation. Under the corrosion of this powerful poison, her five viscera and six bowels had been completely destroyed. Even her dantian was riddled with holes. Perhaps in the next moment, she would completely close her eyes.
