There was only one way to subdue the Lustbite Power, and that was to endure it! Endure its attack!
After releasing the Lustbite Power, Long Fei Ye would have a short period of weakness. He would lose all his inner strength and would gradually lose his strength. His body would be like a bag of skin that could be blown away by the wind.
This was also the reason why Long Fei Ye gathered the Lustbite Power on the whip. Only by gathering the Lustbite Power on the weapon would it have a chance to attack and endure its attack.
The golden whip had long been dyed red with blood. It was restless in Long Fei Ye's hands. It was a bloodthirsty demon, a life reaping demon, a lord of judgement.
Suddenly, the tip of the whip flew up. Long Fei Ye did not hesitate to let go.
He turned his head and closed his eyes.
"Xiu!"
An earth-shattering sound was like the whistling of a gale.
"Xiu!"
A terrifying sound was like the cry of a crane in the sky.
"Xiu!"
A soul-stirring sound was like the sound of thunder.
… …
Whip after whip, sound after sound, the whip rose and fell. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. After countless lashes, the whip finally lost all its power and fell to the ground.
Long Fei Ye stood there. His back was badly mutilated. The new injuries covered the old ones. His skin was torn and his tall body was on the verge of collapse. However, his spine was still straight. He did not fall down. His brows did not crease at all.
This was a habit that he had cultivated since young. No matter how painful it was, he would not make a sound.
The weak candlelight shone on his sweaty side profile. His innate cold aura was replaced by a dense manly aura. It actually gave people an incomparably sexy feeling.
He lowered his eyes. His entire body was emitting an aura that kept people a thousand miles away. No matter who it was, they would not have sympathy for him at this moment. They would only have reverence.
This man's body was strong, and his heart was even stronger. He would never be defeated. Even if it was him, he would not be able to defeat himself.
He stood there silently, allowing the Lustbite Power to boil and run around in his body.
When the Lustbite power re-entered his body, he didn't have to rely on brute force to subdue it. Instead, he had to rely on his heart force! He had to hold on. Before all the Lustbite power flowed into his Dantian, he could not fall, nor could he give up. He had to use his mind to control them.
An hour later, his internal energy finally returned, and it was clear that it had improved.
He silently picked up the long whip and put it away. Then, he took out the hemostatic medicine and gauze that his master had prepared for him and began to treat his wound. It was as if the bloody storm just now had never happened.
The wounds were all on his back. He only sprinkled the hemostatic medicine on the gauze and wrapped it around his body. It was a simple and crude treatment, but it still stopped the bleeding.
At this point, today's mission was considered over.
Once the Lustbite Seal was undone, the Lustbite power did not surge out all at once. Instead, it would surge out a little every day, growing stronger day by day. It had only been more than ten days, and the further it went, the stronger the Lustbite power would be.
After treating his wounds, Long Fei Ye leaned against the wall beside the stone door. The injuries on his back were too severe, so he could not lean against the wall. He could only lean against the wall with his head slightly raised.
It had only been ten days, but his face had become a lot thinner. It had become more angular and cold. He closed his eyes and did not move. It was as if he was asleep, but also as if he was thinking about something.
The room was silent, and the floor was covered in blood. His silent figure seemed especially lonely.
What was loneliness?
Loneliness was when Han Yunxi was sitting behind him. They were separated by a wall, back to back.
Loneliness was when he was on the verge of life and death, but the person he loved did not know anything about it.
Loneliness was when he sat, his back would unconsciously lean against the wall. Not only leaning against it, but he also used all his strength to press against it. Despite the unbearable pain on his back, the corner of his mouth quietly rose in the darkness.
He was sure that she must also be leaning against the wall.
Loneliness was that as he sat here, he could see the clean black clothes hanging across from him, not stained with any blood. He had deliberately taken them off, just to cover up the injuries all over his body after he came out of seclusion and to deceive her.
Han Yunxi, this prince has become addicted to deceiving you. I can't stop.
Han Yunxi slowly opened her eyes. She had just finished a complete cultivation of heart force and her consciousness had just woken up.
Originally, she was just leaning against the wall, but now that she relaxed, her entire body's weight was leaning against the wall, sticking close to it. She raised her head, her gaze somewhat wandering.
Long Fei Ye, are you okay?
Long Fei Ye, what are you doing right now?
Long Fei Ye, I miss you … Could it be that you're also thinking about me right now?
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi leaned against the wall again. She was clearly sticking close to it, but she still wanted to get a little closer.
Long Fei Ye, how can I get a little closer, a little closer?
Day after day …
The pain came day after day, and so did the longing.
Over the course of a month, Han Yunxi was already close to breaking through to the second level of the poison storage space. Despite her repeated efforts, she couldn't break through. She felt like she was reaching a critical point where she couldn't take that final step. She needed someone to give her a push.
She recalled how she had foolishly opened the poison storage space and entered the first level because she had absorbed the poison pond.
Did she really need an opportunity to break through to the second level? She couldn't figure it out.
Over the course of the month, Duanmu Yao and Cang Qiuzi had plotted countless times to lure Han Yunxi out of Abstinence Hall. But no matter what they did, Han Yunxi refused to budge.
With Long Fei Ye here, what better reason could there be for her to leave? None!
For an entire month, day after day of hellish torture, Long Feiye didn't even crease his brows, cry out in pain, or collapse.
Today was the last day. It was also the most crucial day for Long Fei Ye to control the Lustbite energy.
The Lustbite energy that had erupted today was much more powerful than any of the previous times. If he lost control of it, not only would all of his efforts be wasted, he did not know what the consequences would be. The Sword Sect Master did not know either.
Perhaps no one else in this world knew the answer.
Long Fei Ye only knew that he had to win today's battle.
He had to win. Even though he was about to open the stone door and see Han Yunxi, he was still as steady as a mountain. He didn't draw out the Lustbite energy as soon as he rested like before.
He needed to make some preparations to make sure nothing went wrong.
Meanwhile, outside the stone wall, Han Yunxi had long lost interest in cultivating. Two days ago, she had pulled out a chair and sat in front of the wall to stare at it.
The brilliant and brilliant Han Yunxi was nothing but an idiot. If she wasn't facing the wall, what was she?
She was laughing. No, to be exact, she'd been laughing for two days.
She had no idea what Long Fei Ye had gone through in the secret room, or how dangerous it had been. She always assumed that Long Fei Ye had only received Elder Kenzō's guidance to cultivate in preparation for the ranking matches. She assumed that the real danger lay in his duel with Cang Qiuzi. Thus, she was certain that Long Fei Ye's martial arts would improve greatly when the time came and he'd come out unscathed.
She rarely dolled herself up, but today she put on light makeup and combed her hair into a princess hairstyle. She used a purple jade hair ornament to change into a dreamy purple dress and white gauze around her wrists.
Purple was his favorite color.
She had excellent foundations to begin with, so a little dressing up made her devastatingly beautiful. She didn't lose out to Duanmu Yao's former beauty in any way. Moreover, she had a natural air of nobility, a peerless elegance between her brows, and a bearing in her bones that Duanmu Yao would never be able to match.
The only thing that didn't match her fairy-like appearance was the smile on her face. That smile could be called a silly grin.
If Long Fei Ye saw it, he'd definitely stroke her bangs dotingly and curse her for being stupid again.
Han Yunxi was waiting, as were Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao. Long Fei Ye would be released from Abstinence Hall today after serving his sentence. Three days later would be the Kenzō ranking matches.
Ever since Cang Qiuzi's poison was cured, he'd been preparing for the matches.
He was already the second strongest on Celestial Mountain, while Kenzō wouldn't be participating. Thus, he'd definitely take first place. Still, he didn't relax.
He was very clear that strength determined the loyalty of his subordinates. He wanted to display his most powerful martial arts skills to win over the Celestial Mountain disciples and show the Heretical Sword Sect that he was worth cooperating with.
"Long Fei Ye's trip to Celestial Mountain this time can't be simple!" Cang Qiuzi said worriedly.
Duanmu Yao didn't reply. Over the past month, she'd spent most of her time observing Han Yunxi while helping her master recover. She'd spent a lot of effort setting up multiple traps, but Han Yunxi hadn't taken a single step out of the Abstinence Hall.
The Abstinence Hall was Auntie You's territory. She'd spent a lot of effort to bribe the servant girls there to say a few words in front of Han Yunxi, but it was all to no avail.
After today, Long Fei Ye's sentence would be over. Once Long Fei Ye left Abstinence Hall, it'd be even harder to kill Han Yunxi.
Duanmu Yao told herself that no matter what, she couldn't miss out on today!
"If he can kill Lady Leng Yue, then he has the strength to participate in the ranking matches. That brat, he's planning to join them!" Cang Qiuzi muttered to himself before breaking into a cold laugh. "So what? Even if he kills the fourth and third ranked Qi Zonglin and Tang Zijin, he still doesn't have the skills to fight against the Old Man!"
Seeing Duanmu Yao's restlessness, Cang Qiuzi pulled her close. "Yao Yao, what are you thinking about?"
Duanmu Yao felt goosebumps all over her body, but she could only endure. In a low voice, she said, "If I miss out on today, it'll be harder to kill Han Yunxi."
"What, you still can't deal with your master?" Cang Qiuzi laughed coldly. "Or … did Han Yunxi steal him from you?"
Duanmu Yao's gaze turned cold at his words, her eyes emanating killing intent beneath her mask. She viciously broke free of Cang Qiuzi's grasp and turned to leave. "Just you wait, Han Yunxi won't live past today!"
It wasn't that she couldn't deal with her master, nor that he didn't dote on her, but that his condition had been very unstable these days. She didn't dare to provoke him too much. But today, she was going to risk it all! No matter the price, she had to get rid of Han Yunxi before Long Fei Ye came out.
Every time her master treated her wounds, he'd never said a word. Over the past few days, he'd only asked her one question. "Yao Yao, why couldn't I save your Shimang back then?"
Ever since master found out about her injuries, he'd only nearly acted up that one time in front of Cang Qiuzi. Over the past month, he'd been very calm in front of her.
But she knew that he wasn't calm at all. He was just suffering so much that he couldn't speak.
If she wanted to enter the Abstinence Hall and get rid of Han Yunxi, she could only rely on master!
Duanmu Yao had long formed a plan in her heart. When she thought about how the Long Fei Ye would never see Han Yunxi again, she couldn't help but grow excited!
After leaving Lockheart Courtyard, she headed straight for the peak of Celestial Mountain and Nine Xuan Hall to find her master …
