“Qin Baobao!”
“No, absolutely impossible! How could you break free from the shackles forged by the Heluo craftsmen!”
Ren Yuanhao’s body blazed with a scorching heat, his suppressed fire-attribute true qi burning through his blood like wildfire. Fortunately, his internal abilities and the Qingxin Jue helped him mitigate much of the agony from the fire-attribute true qi, allowing him to retain his consciousness.
However, he knew very well that this state could not be maintained for long. He had to end this quickly!
“To restrain me with such a thing, isn’t that too childish!”
Ren Yuanhao drew his saber, the Wuji Blade flashing with a chilling glint.
“I knew you would come to save me, Bao Ge!”
Ren Yuanhao severed Yi Die’s restraints with a few swift slashes. He smiled slightly, a flicker of tragic pain flashing in his eyes. He then handed her the emblem and whispered into her ear, “Sister Yi Die, I’m at the end of my rope in this state. The best course of action now is to hide behind that door. Perhaps, perhaps there’s a sliver of hope~”
Yi Die nodded, “Okay, I understand~”
“I’ll count to three. I’ll cover you as you rush through them. You open the door then. Understand?”
“Okay!”
Three.
Two.
One!
As soon as he spoke, a long sword, like a white rainbow, suddenly appeared in Ren Yuanhao’s hand. It was named Taiyi!
“One of the Ten Fierce Swords of the World, a fierce sword bearing the Heluo Seal!”
“How is this possible? How can this brat wield a fierce sword without backlash!”
“No matter what, you have to die!”
The three of them attacked ferociously. Ren Yuanhao, holding Yi Die, stepped out with the Drunken Moonlit Steps, tracing incredibly peculiar paths in the chaotic space. The Wuji Blade blazed with flames, and the Taiyi Sword radiated a chilling coldness. Saber and sword danced, like a song of ice and fire.
Although the three were extremely powerful, their true qi was their greatest weakness. Under the onslaught of Ren Yuanhao’s tempestuous true qi, even though they managed to inflict some damage on him, they still could not stop the might of Ren Yuanhao’s霸道 true qi combined with his blade and sword.
Yi Die approached the door. As if she had instinctively learned how to open the Ancient Bronze Door, she skillfully placed the emblem into a well-hidden recess. The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches began to align with her blood.
A brilliant radiance erupted, and a heart-palpitating tremor echoed throughout the entire ravine!
“Not good! They’re going to escape through the Ancient Bronze Door! Quickly, attack!”
Sun Wenchu and Sun Yizhen recoiled, their various abilities bombarding the two. Ren Yuanhao retreated while pushing open the Ancient Bronze Door. Before those people could reach them, the two had squeezed through the doorway and tightly sealed the Ancient Bronze Door.
Listening to the booming impacts from behind the Ancient Bronze Door, the two leaned back against it, sliding to the ground, gasping for breath.
After escaping those people and saving Yi Die, Ren Yuanhao’s will began to dissipate. His true qi was unstable, and coupled with multiple injuries, he was spitting up blood uncontrollably.
“Bao Ge, you, you don’t scare me~”
Yi Die looked at Ren Yuanhao’s pupils, now filled with gold, his scattered true qi, and his blood-soaked body. A fear she had never known before, like a ghost wandering in the dark night, crawled out.
“Hey, little girl, I lied to you. My name isn’t Qin Baobao~”
Ren Yuanhao felt that his life was probably going to end here. He laughed, a wild,瘋狂 laugh.
“You men are all liars. I’ve already told you my name so honestly~”
“I, my name is Ren Yuanhao, cough cough~”
Ren Yuanhao’s laughter was choked, but he still continued to laugh madly, “Hey, you bastards outside, this young master has many, many treasures inside. Are you all envious!”
“You have nothing, yet you lied to them again.”
Yi Die actually believed him. Ren Yuanhao stood up. According to the system lady, this place was likely the location of that S-class elemental origin ability.
That was an ability core that could allow an ability user to step into the realm of gods!
From then on, they could shatter the void and stand at the apex of the food chain.
However, in Ren Yuanhao’s current state, what use would even obtaining such a thing be? He had already used the Burial Sea Flow once, his dantian was shattered, his true qi dissipated, and the fire-attribute true qi within him gnawed like a dragon, the taste unbearable. Moreover, without his dantian, the original vessel that held true qi, it was like a vital transportation artery had been forcibly severed. To gather true qi would be a fool’s errand.
This was the nightmare of all cultivators and ability users, and this nightmare had found Ren Yuanhao for the second time. He felt that this time, at least there was Miss Zi Yuan, who was willing to die for him, and had pulled him back from the brink of death.
But this time, he was trapped in the holy land of the Heluo clan~
“Brother Hao, come, I’ll support you. There must be an exit in here, I guarantee it.”
As Yi Die spoke, she heard extremely low whispers brush past her ears!
“Who’s talking?”
Yi Die supported Ren Yuanhao, proceeding forward through the dimly lit corridor.
With each step they took on the corridor, a series of ethereal, pleasing sounds like palace bells would ring out. After a few steps, the entire internal space immediately lit up with a brilliant light screen, and the passage beneath their feet collapsed with a roar like an illusion!
“What’s going on? No path?”
Ren Yuanhao forcefully circulated his true qi and leaned forward. He saw fiery red lava flowing beneath the collapsed section, the temperature extremely high. He kicked a small stone down, and the stone was instantly swallowed by the lava, emitting a puff of white steam!
“This might be an illusion, but this illusion is too realistic, engaging all five senses.”
“Then what do we do?”
“If even you can’t think of a solution, then I’m even more helpless.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Yuanhao suddenly remembered the bamboo slip testament!
He took out the bamboo slips, which had been pieced together, from the illusion and then spread them out.
“This is all in Heluo script! You, how do you have our ancient texts?”
Ren Yuanhao sighed, “Alas, don’t worry. I originally coveted the treasures within, but in this state, I’m afraid it will be difficult to get out alive. However, you can try to swallow that thing and escape. I have only one request: take me back to my homeland~”
Yi Die snorted, “You think too far ahead. I’m not that kind. If you die, I won’t live either~”
“You say that as if you want to die with me~” Despite the unimaginable pain he was enduring internally, Ren Yuanhao’s mouth was still cracking jokes.
“Who wants to die with you, you ugly ghost~”
Yi Die snorted. Unexpectedly, as she glanced at the bamboo slip testament, her heart leaped, and she was overjoyed!
“Hey, I’ve found a way to go back! Follow me!”
Ren Yuanhao watched Yi Die, who had finished speaking, directly step into the air, and her entire body began to float, truly miraculous.
