"Are we going to die?"
Yuan Chonghuan furrowed her delicate brows, her expression extremely serious.
Her overall strength was vastly inferior compared to Lin Qiubai!
Therefore, she couldn't navigate through the encirclement of the beasts as effortlessly as Lin Qiubai, casually blasting the head of a Blood Bat, taking the Essence Crystal, and then vanishing without a trace...
It was too difficult.
Yuan Chonghuan couldn't imitate that.
Accomplishing all of the above required immense calculation ability and precise judgment with keen insight.
Every moment of battle had to be calculated and rehearsed multiple times in her mind beforehand.
In the fleeting moments of combat, completing thousands of calculations and rehearsals, and executing them effectively...
This was nearly impossible for a warrior at the Third Layer of Yuan Dan Realm!
Let alone being effortless; surviving at all was a question!
But Lin Qiubai not only handled it with ease; it was as if he was performing an art form.
It was simply terrifying!
Yuan Chonghuan was in awe.
This must be the realm of effortless mastery and returning to simplicity, right?
Lin Qiubai performed exceptionally well.
The antelope's horns leave no trace!
However, the sudden appearance of the Blood Bat King and its method of attack was too bizarre.
It turned out to be an unconventional sonic attack!
Such martial arts are extremely rare; even with prior precautions, one could still fall victim!
A special method is required to resist it.
That is why Lin Qiubai encountered a Waterloo.
Although Yuan Chonghuan was somewhat prepared, when she rushed to Lin Qiubai's side, her mind was filled with chaotic illusions.
Yet, she stubbornly resisted, forcing herself to fight against the illusions in her mind, biting her red lips until they bled!
She channeled all her Vital Energy into her Longsword.
With a swift upward slash.
This strike was simple yet clean and effective, breaking the mold.
The brilliant Vital Energy surged like an iron horse crossing icy rivers, crushing everything in its path.
It was almost unstoppable, like a hot knife through butter, carving out a thirty-meter-deep arc-shaped trench before Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan.
The Ripped Corpse Blood Bat was knocked back several dozen meters by the immense force.
It stared blankly at Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan smiled lightly.
As long as they were within the range of the spotlight, the Ripped Corpse Blood Bats could not fly.
Therefore, if they wanted to tear apart Lin Qiubai, they had to fill the chasm with their bodies first!
This was Yuan Chonghuan's utmost effort to buy Lin Qiubai some time.
"Lin Brother, you need to wake up quickly. Otherwise, we will really be buried here..."
Yuan Chonghuan's palms were bleeding, her whole body trembling; she was clearly exhausted. To make matters worse, she was still under sonic attack.
At that moment, her delicate face turned pale, a mouthful of blood spilled out, and she cast a gentle glance at Lin Qiubai before softly collapsing in front of him, fainting...
Lin Qiubai remained lost in the illusion.
Under the command of the Blood Bat King, hundreds of Blood Bats surged into the chasm one after another.
In just a few breaths, Yuan Chonghuan had exhausted her Vital Energy to carve out the chasm, which was about to be filled by the Blood Bats.
Death was slowly approaching Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan...
...
"Yin!"
In that critical moment, a Little Golden Dragon hidden in Lin Qiubai's sleeve suddenly leaped out.
Its slightly cute little head raised high, and its Dragon Eyes sparkled with brilliance... exuding majesty that stunned everyone!
It wore an arrogant and aloof expression, like an emperor being fanned, disdainfully glancing at the Blood Bat King.
After that, he released a Dragon Roar towards the sky.
Although the Dragon Roar was somewhat immature, both the nobility of its lineage and the level of its sound waves completely overwhelmed the Blood Bat King by the Yuanmai Dragon Spirit.
The peculiar sound wave Martial Arts was instantly neutralized.
The sound of the Dragon Roar echoed across the land.
The Blood Bat King suddenly trembled, a hint of fear creeping into its crimson vertical eyes. Without any hesitation, it flapped its wings and transformed into a Hurricane, disappearing into the night.
It vowed never to provoke Lin Qiubai again!
...
With the departure of the Blood Bat King, the sound wave attack also vanished. Lin Qiubai withdrew from the illusion and slowly awakened.
This was his first time losing complete control over the rhythm of battle.
Recalling what had just happened, Lin Qiubai felt a pang of anxiety, cold sweat already soaking his back...
If it weren't for the opponent's fear of the Searchlight behind him, and if Yuan Chonghuan hadn't fought desperately to save him with one last strike, his Corpse would have been done for.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiubai picked up the light-as-a-feather Yuan Chonghuan.
Her slightly curled red lips were stained with blood, causing Lin Qiubai's heart to tighten.
Under such terrifying sound wave attacks, Lin Qiubai had fallen in an instant.
Yet Yuan Chonghuan managed to hold on long enough to carve out a thirty-meter deep ravine before collapsing.
How profound must that belief in saving Lin Qiubai have been to endure for ten times or even dozens of times longer than him?!
At that moment, she must have exerted all her strength to successfully block those Ripped Corpse Blood Bats!
Lin Qiubai's expression changed, and he swallowed hard. He gently picked up the light-as-a-feather Yuan Chonghuan and leaped into the Formation.
He truly did not expect that within this secret realm, there would be Ripped Corpse Blood Bats capable of using sonic Martial Arts.
Although the Essence Crystal was a great treasure, Lin Qiubai did not dare to gamble with his life any longer. Returning to the Formation was the safest option.
…………
He took out a mattress from his Storage Ring and carefully laid down Yuan Chonghuan.
Then he retrieved some water to wash off the sticky blood from his palms and arms.
After fighting for an hour, not only had layers of blood accumulated on his hands, but his originally white long robe was now dripping with Blood.
He had to clean himself thoroughly before he could tend to Yuan Chonghuan.
"It's a pity I don't have any Mystical Herbs or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures left; I've used them all up. I need to find an opportunity to raid some more!"
A basin of clean water still hadn't washed away the bloodstains on Lin Qiubai. He smiled wryly and took out another water jar.
For now, he could only clean his arms first and then take care of Yuan Chonghuan before making further plans.
It didn't matter if he himself was dirty.
Taking care of Yuan Chonghuan was far more important.
"Don't worry, it's not serious. You're mainly just exhausted, and after suffering from sonic attacks, the Essence Crystal we just obtained will come in handy. It can help her stabilize her Sea of Consciousness."
Hearing this, Lin Qiubai let out a sigh of relief and took out the Essence Crystal.
"How can I help her recover?"
"Place it on her forehead."
The spirit of the artifact said proudly.
Lin Qiubai followed the spirit's instructions and pressed an Essence Crystal against Yuan Chonghuan's smooth, jade-like forehead.
The icy crystal melted upon contact, transforming into an ethereal Little White Tiger that playfully bounced before burrowing into Yuan Chonghuan's brow.
At that moment, Yuan Chonghuan's furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
Her complexion also regained a hint of color.
"It's working!"
Lin Qiubai was overjoyed; he had plenty of Essence Crystals.
He immediately placed one Essence Crystal after another against Yuan Chonghuan's forehead, dispelling her weakened consciousness.
After using ten Essence Crystals, the pale Yandere version of Yuan Chonghuan regained her spirited appearance.
She remained handsome but now exuded a sense of determination, radiating a unique charm.
After waiting for half an hour, Yuan Chonghuan's long eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her bright, gem-like eyes.
What she saw was Lin Qiubai, whose clothes were soaked in blood.
She had experienced death before, but never had it felt so deeply sorrowful as it did tonight!
She had found something to care about.
Before dying, I suddenly remembered:
There were ten thousand heartfelt words I wanted to say but never expressed.
There were thousands of things I wanted to do, yet I never took the first step.
There was someone I wanted to hold onto, but I didn't dare to reach out with my timid hand.
Yuan Chonghuan rubbed her forehead, quickly sat up, and wrapped her snow-white wrist around Lin Qiubai, burying her pretty face into Lin Qiubai's chest.
"This..."
Lin Qiubai was speechless and at a loss.
"I'm covered in blood..."
"I just like men who are covered in blood!"
Yuan Chonghuan tilted her head back, revealing her face stained red with blood, and smiled sweetly.
That smile was like a mandala flower blooming freely, as red as blood...
