Jingxue burst into laughter and shook her head. "Senior Brother, don't be silly. How is it possible to escape the illusion so easily?!"
Chu Li shook his head. "I won't die. I haven't felt this way in a long time."
Ever since he started cultivating martial arts, he had almost forgotten this feeling of weakness other than a few times of heavy injuries. His body grew stronger and he was not this weak even when he was heavily injured.
All the mystical arts and secret techniques in his mind were sealed, turning him into a sickly man without the strength to even truss a chicken.
He could not even free himself.
"Senior Brother, do you think we have to find the heart technique by ourselves?" Jingxue's body swayed with the waves, rising and falling gently. Her fair face was wet with water droplets. She was like a lotus flower, beautiful and alluring.
"Are we going to search for treasures on the sea?" Chu Li asked.
Jingxue looked excited. "There might be an island in the distance with a stone tablet on it. The stone tablet has the heart technique on it!"
Chu Li laughed. He could not compare to her rich imagination.
He stopped smiling and frowned. "Not dying is a big problem. I can't free myself …"
He shook his head.
This was a terrifying thing. If he met an opponent and was tortured after being captured, he would not be able to free himself. How terrifying would that be?
He did not think that the empty sea was not dangerous.
Jingxue smiled. "Senior Brother, why do you always want to die? Think about how to live."
Chu Li shook his head. "I'll try and see if I can drown myself!"
"Alright, alright. Try it." Jingxue was helpless.
Chu Li lowered his head and inhaled deeply.
Amidst the violent coughing, pain assaulted him. His throat and windpipe felt like they were being torn, and his organs felt like they were being cut by knives. His vision darkened, and he was about to suffocate to death.
But no matter how intense the pain was, he did not faint. He experienced the pain clearly.
Slowly, the coughing stopped and the pain weakened. He opened his eyes and realized he was still soaking in the sea, swaying gently with the water.
He looked up and saw Jingxue looking at him worriedly. Seeing him look up, their eyes met. She quickly wiped away her worry and smiled again. "Senior Brother, how does it feel?"
Chu Li looked pale and haggard.
Jingxue said, "You can't die in this illusion, right? You can't die no matter what? "
Chu Li's expression was heavy. He slowly nodded. "This is troublesome! … I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a lot. I hope it won't be too long! "
Jingxue smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't be so pessimistic. It might not be torture, but enjoyment!"
"I hope so." Chu Li smiled bitterly.
Jingxue said, "Let's catch a fish first."
She suddenly stretched out her hand. Her jade-white hand was raised, but it was empty.
She furrowed her brows slightly, and her expression did not look good.
Even if she did not have her inner energy, with her body, catching fish should be as easy as taking something out of her pocket. Now that she had the will but not the strength, this was not good.
Her various secret arts had been sealed, but her intelligence was still there. She immediately saw that the situation was not good. The two of them were now powerless, and in this vast sea, they would most likely starve to death.
If he didn't die, hunger would haunt him, and that would be a nightmare.
She looked at Chu Li and the smile on her face disappeared.
Chu Li smiled. "It might not be that scary."
"… I hope so." Jingxue nodded slowly and sighed. "Senior brother, I don't feel too good."
"Same," Chu Li replied.
He also had a bad feeling. What awaited the two of them was definitely not pleasure, but pain.
His gaze sharpened, and he suddenly said in a low voice, "There's trouble!"
Not far behind Jingxue, a fin appeared. It was obvious that it was a shark. With their current skills, they could not even deal with a shark. Not to mention a school of sharks, they would only become their food.
Jingxue turned to look, and her expression changed.
"Let's go!" Chu Li pulled her and forcefully kicked the water.
Because he had cultivated the Heavenly Spirit Scripture and was mentally connected to the Evil Nether Dragon, he was extremely proficient in water. Even though his body was weak, he was still as fast as a fish in the water.
Jingxue's water skills were far inferior to his, so she could only kick the water with one hand held by him.
She looked back from time to time and saw the school of sharks chasing them.
"Senior brother, you go first!" Jingxue said hurriedly.
Chu Li faced the sky and moved his legs like a dolphin. His body twisted gently and smoothly, and his speed was no slower than the sharks.
However, Jingxue knew that they were weak and would exhaust their strength soon. When that time came, no one would be able to escape. He still had a chance of survival as long as he abandoned her.
These sharks would eat her first, and by then, he would have escaped.
"Senior brother!" Jingxue shouted.
Chu Li said impatiently, "Don't talk. Save some strength and escape!"
Jingxue said, "Senior brother, can we really escape like this?"
"We'll try our best. There's nothing we can do if we can't escape," Chu Li said.
Jingxue said, "You can escape if you go first. Rather than both of us dying, it's better for one of us to live!"
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm afraid you won't die! Don't talk. Copy my movements and use the most energy-efficient method! "
Jingxue said, "Then I'll swim myself. You don't have to pull me."
Chu Li scoffed. "Don't be stupid!"
"I won't." Jingxue nodded.
Chu Li looked at her. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Senior brother!" Jingxue said in annoyance. "Rather than both of us dying, it's better for one of us to die. Are you going to watch as Shen Xing kills our fellow disciples? Lawless? "
Chu Li said, "Don't talk and swim!"
Jingxue was helpless and could only try her best to move forward. She faced the sky and was as graceful as a mermaid. Soon, she was side by side with Chu Li at the same speed.
Chu Li smiled.
The sharks behind them were getting closer. They had already seen their prey and sped up. They were originally a hundred meters away, but they were now fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters.
Chu Li's smile faded. He pondered for a moment and pushed Jingxue away.
Jingxue sped up and her expression changed. "Senior brother!"
Chu Li leaped backward abruptly and ran into the school of sharks.
Jingxue was about to give chase.
Chu Li yelled, "If you don't run, I'll die for nothing!"
Jingxue stopped and gritted her teeth before turning to chase after him.
"You!" Chu Li yelled darkly.
Jingxue said, "If we die, we die together. Besides, we won't die!"
She twisted her waist like a swimming fish. Due to her slender figure, she was even faster than Chu Li and caught up to him in the blink of an eye.
Chu Li gritted his teeth and turned to continue running. He said in annoyance, "Why bother?"
"This is an illusion. It's not real." Jingxue smiled. "If I'm going to die, I'll definitely run first!"
Chu Li glared at her and shook his head without saying a word.
Even if it was an illusion, it would be painful to be caught by the sharks. It would be better to die for relief.
In the end, the two were still caught by the sharks. The large creature opened its mouth and bit at Chu Li, splitting his body into two. Blood gushed out.
Chu Li's lower body was in the shark's mouth while his upper body was outside. Another shark bit over and his upper body was split in half again, leaving only his head.
Jingxue gritted her teeth and pounced over. She hugged his head and continued running at an even faster speed.
Chu Li was still clear-headed. "Swim into its mouth!"
At this moment, a shark pounced over and opened its mouth with its sharp teeth.
Jingxue stomped her foot and dove into its mouth just as it closed its mouth.
