Han Yunxi was already on the verge of jumping off the cliff, so what could Long Fei Ye do?
Helpless, he could only grab Han Yunxi and use the cliff as leverage to fly towards Gu.
The closer they got to the cliff, the more unbearable the heat wave became. This place had been burning for so long that even the air was hot. But both of them had overlooked the fact that Han Yunxi had shot out multiple poison needles in succession. As they drew closer, Gu Qishao quickly sensed the movements in the air. As soon as he saw Long Feiye and Han Yunxi, his solemn, beautiful face blossomed into a dazzling smile. It could even be described as a devastatingly beautiful woman capable of causing the downfall of nations.
So beautiful …
Han Yunxi couldn't help but sigh. She was clearly nervous, but seeing that smile, her mood suddenly improved.
Of course, even though she was in a good mood, she didn't forget about the important matter. Before she even landed, she activated her poison storage space, wanting to collect the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons. If she hadn't been so far away, she would have already collected the soil into her poison storage space.
Unexpectedly, the poison storage space rejected her command. At the same time, the detoxification system issued a warning. The toxicity of the soil was very weak and was still decreasing. It was already below the minimum threshold. In other words, the toxicity of the soil was negligible.
Han Yunxi exclaimed, "Long Fei Ye, this is bad!"
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five elements' poisons were unique. If they were destroyed, they would all be gone! If none of them were destroyed, it meant that the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion would never be broken!
But he'd hardly spoken when Gu Qishao abruptly kicked off the ground to soar into the air and head for the cliff above.
What's wrong with this guy?
Long Fei Ye didn't land on the cliff, but instead used the side of the cliff as leverage to catch up with Han Yunxi. The cliff was very high, and the wind in the abyss was very strong. It was easy to fall down, but not so easy to climb back up.
Although Long Fei Ye was carrying Han Yunxi and was a step late, he still returned to the cliff before Gu, and it was quite difficult for Gu to fly up. Han Yunxi noticed the great disparity between the two men's martial arts. She discovered that ever since Long Fei Ye's internal injury, his martial arts seemed to have improved a lot.
"Gu, you …"
Han Yunxi was about to ask, but Gu immediately spat out the small glass bottle hidden in his mouth, which contained the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons. "Han Yunxi, quick, take out the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion!" He was extremely anxious. He had never been so anxious in his entire life.
Han Yunxi didn't need the detoxification system to check. At such a close distance, she could tell at a glance that the Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons was more toxic than the ones below the cliff.
She couldn't be bothered to ask any more questions. She immediately took out the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and placed a few drops into the glass bottle.
For a moment, the three of them were silent. They stared nervously at the glass bottle, waiting for the results. However, after waiting for a long time, the soil in the bottle didn't react at all.
Gu's hands were trembling. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi didn't say anything. He muttered, "Let's wait … let's wait and see."
Helpless, after a while, the Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons still didn't react.
Gu had endured the heat waves for several days. His face was red, but now it was completely white. He looked at Han Yunxi's furrowed brows. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't. He just looked at her.
Han Yunxi wouldn't blame Gu for his thoughts. She nervously and seriously examined the changes in the Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons' toxicity. The detoxification system could detect changes in toxicity. This meant that the soil wasn't completely unresponsive. It was just that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
After pondering for a moment, she took out the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and added twice the dosage.
This time, the Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons immediately emitted a sizzling sound, as if it was being corroded. In the blink of an eye, the originally granular soil turned into powder. The powder gradually condensed into a small teardrop.
Long Fei Ye secretly sighed in relief. Gu was overjoyed. He raised his head to look at Han Yunxi. "Poison Girl, it's done!"
Ten days of torment was the true torment of the heat waves. At least it wasn't in vain. At least he didn't disappoint this girl, and at least he didn't go back on his promise with Long Fei Ye.
"It's all thanks to you! You actually put it in your mouth. I can't believe you thought of something like that. "Han Yunxi was overjoyed.
She carefully put away the fourth poisonous teardrop. Then she asked curiously, "Did you want to jump off the cliff just now?"
"If you guys hadn't come, I really would have jumped. If I hadn't jumped, I wouldn't have been able to keep this thing." Gu chuckled.
Han Yunxi rolled her eyes at him. "You're courting death!"
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. He knew that Gu was serious. He wasn't courting death.
Just as they were talking, the ground suddenly shook. The entire mountain seemed to tremble! What was going on?
"Look! It's on fire! "Han Yunxi cried out in alarm.
They saw that the Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons and the Poison Orchids on the cliff below had spontaneously combusted. The entire cliff had turned into a raging inferno.
The Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons' toxicity was probably all gone. This thing was very common, so it was very difficult to explain why it spontaneously combusted.
Han Yunxi and the other two watched. Who knew that the mountain would suddenly tremble again. This time, it wasn't just a single tremor, but a continuous, intense tremor, like an earthquake.
Soon, they saw the cliff below collapse like a huge fireball, falling into the abyss.
The three of them seemed to realize something at the same time and looked at each other in dismay.
Suddenly, the ground under their feet shook. The cliff was also in danger of falling. Long Fei Ye's reaction was the fastest. He tightly held Han Yunxi with one hand and fiercely stabbed the cliff with the sword in his other hand!
Almost at the same time, the entire cliff collapsed. The three of them stepped on nothing.
Gu's movements were half a beat slower than Long Fei Ye, but he pulled out his dagger in time and stabbed it into the wall, hanging next to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi.
So close, so close!
The two cliffs had collapsed. The secret passage was full of fire. There was no place to stand. Even if he and Long Fei Ye's martial arts were good, there was nothing they could do in the abyss where there was no place to stand. They could only hang on like this.
"It seems like the underground palace is going to collapse!" Gu said.
"Crow's beak!" Han Yunxi glared at him. Actually, she was thinking the same thing.
Long Fei Ye suddenly blew a cold whistle, summoning a messenger hawk that landed on his arm. The hawk tore at his sleeve and immediately flew away. Tang Li and Chu Xifeng should be arriving soon. Long Fei Ye only hoped that they could hold on until Tang Li and Chu Xifeng arrived.
But as soon as the hawk flew away, Gu's dagger slid down with a crack!
Gu grew alarmed. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi looked over at the same time and saw Gu's dagger cracking in the Xuan stone.
A dagger wasn't as long as a sword, so it couldn't bear Gu's weight if it didn't go deep enough.
"Gu, hold on tight!"
Han Yunxi reached out without hesitation. Gu was still hesitating when the dagger slid down again. Just as it was about to slip out, Han Yunxi grabbed his wrist and wouldn't let go.
Very soon, Gu's dagger slid out of the cliff, but he quickly stabbed it to the side. Unexpectedly, the stone began to crack as soon as it touched the ground. He couldn't hold on.
The entire mountain trembled as pebbles of all sizes slid down. Even the places where Long Feiye's sword had stabbed into the ground were filled with pebbles. Fortunately, his sword was long enough, or else the consequences would've been unimaginable.
Gu couldn't find a place to support himself, nor could he fly with his martial arts skills. If not for Han Yunxi holding on to him, he would've fallen long ago.
Han Yunxi always felt that she was very strong, stronger than many men. But this time, she realised that her strength was pitifully weak. She couldn't support Gu's weight with just one arm. She didn't want to let go, but her hand slid down uncontrollably.
"Gu, quickly hold on to me, quickly!" She urged anxiously. But Gu was still looking for a place to support himself.
"Gu, did you hear me! Hold on to me, quickly, I can't hold on any longer! "
Han Yunxi was both angry and anxious. Was this fellow's brain damaged? The surface layer of the cliff kept peeling off and his short dagger couldn't penetrate too deep. He was very strong and it was much easier for him to hold on to her hand than she held on to him.
"Gu Qishao, hurry up! Did you hear me! You're courting death! "
Han Yunxi was so anxious that she went crazy. She stretched out her other hand to hold on to him, holding on with all her might.
Long Fei Ye saw all of this. It must be known that every bit of strength that Han Yunxi gave to Gu was supported by him. That was equivalent to him supporting both Han Yunxi and Gu's weight.
He held on to his sword tightly with one hand and held on to Han Yunxi's waist with the other. Actually, he was also holding on with all his might. But he didn't say a word and just looked at the woman in his arms who was risking her life to save someone else.
Finally, Gu gave up. He threw away the dagger and raised his head to look at Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi was overjoyed, "Hold on to my hand, quickly, I can't hold on any longer!"
But Gu Qishao only said, "Let go."
He was very, very serious and didn't seem like he was joking at all. "Poison Girl, why are you getting more and more stupid? If you don't let go, all three of us will die!"
Long Fei Ye's longsword could at most support the weight of two people. If he were to join in, the longsword would probably break before it even slid off the cliff.
Han Yunxi obviously knew this. She roared, "You're the stupid one. If you die, who will help us break through the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion? Hold on tight, don't pretend to be great here! I won't let you die! "
Long Fei Ye lowered his dim eyes and still didn't say a word.
Gu smiled helplessly and advised, "Poison Girl, don't say such angry words. Let go."
How could Han Yunxi let go? She held on even tighter and asked angrily, "Gu, what kind of people do you think Long Fei Ye and I are?" Since they had chosen to travel together, they wouldn't leave each other! Let me tell you, even if you die right now, I won't let go and let you die without a corpse. "
As soon as she said this, Long Fei Ye finally looked up. He understood Han Yunxi's intentions. Gu was stunned.
Wouldn't leave each other … He had no mother since he was young. He was abandoned by his biological father when he was not even ten years old. He was expelled from the medical school before he even reached adulthood. He had lived for more than twenty years, and this was the first time someone had said so firmly that they wouldn't leave each other.
Han Yunxi, to be able to hear these words from you, this life is worth it!
Gu smiled like a child, bright and clean.
He said, "Poison Girl, just let go. Actually, I …"
