The feeling of panic gradually consumed Wu Tian's mind.
His eyes were somewhat unfocused, clearly having fallen into a state of daze.
Li Xingyun quickly sensed something was wrong, so he nudged him and said:
"Hey, with the enemy right in front of us, what are you spacing out for? Aren't you afraid he'll suddenly attack?"
Wu Tian snapped back to reality, shaking his head vigorously to clear his thoughts.
He felt that thinking about these things now was a bit premature.
After all, there were still many strong individuals present. With them taking the lead, even if a crisis occurred, it wouldn't be his turn to do anything.
The current situation was the most important. He and Li Xingyun had to kill Ling Xinchun.
Otherwise, without even waiting for the catastrophe, at least this county town would be destroyed.
His expression became considerably more serious, and he then said in a low voice, "He hasn't come over for so long, it must be because he hasn't realized we're still alive."
"Since that's the case, how about we take another gamble?"
"Gamble?" Hearing Wu Tian say this, Li Xingyun was taken aback.
"What do you mean by 'gamble'? Do you still have any trump cards now?"
"It's not really a trump card, otherwise it wouldn't be called a gamble."
"I just wanted to ask if you have any hidden skills left, the kind you only use when fighting for your life?"
"This..." Li Xingyun pondered for a moment.
He then nodded and said, "To be honest, I do."
"This move was taught to me by my master, an intermediate immortal technique that requires me to reach the immortal realm to use."
"But I've already mastered it quite well, so using it forcefully is not a problem. It's just that its power will be greatly reduced, and after using it, I'll basically be bedridden for three days."
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Is that so? If that's the case, then it's much easier. I also have similar methods, so let's use our trump cards together later and attack him."
"That guy's original strength hasn't fully recovered, and coupled with our surprise attack, we might succeed."
Li Xingyun said, "Your plan is truly a gamble."
"But do you know the consequences of failure? We still have a chance to escape now, but if we fail, we'll become targets."
Wu Tian said, "Do you have any other ideas now? If they are feasible, I'll listen to you."
"Of course, you have no obligation to do this. So if you don't want to participate, you can leave now. I'll cover you."
Li Xingyun was slightly stunned, then patted Wu Tian and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you clearly asking me to help you by saying that?"
"Besides, I actually have an obligation to do something like this. After all, people like us from the Hidden Sect are, in the end, the greatest defense against the return of the demon race!"
"Really?" Wu Tian hadn't expected the Hidden Sect to have such a role.
He had always thought that the so-called Hidden Sect was, in the end, just a higher-level sect.
They possessed the world's top power but generally stayed out of worldly affairs.
But now, from Li Xingyun's words, it seemed that for many years, the Hidden Sect had been preparing to resist the demon race.
He nodded and said, "Alright, since you have no objections, it's much easier. Listen to me first, let's do this..."
Wu Tian quietly explained his plan to Li Xingyun. After hearing it, Li Xingyun was shocked and said, "No way, how can you do that?"
"Whether it succeeds or not, you'll be in big trouble!"
Wu Tian said solemnly, "You don't need to worry about that. Didn't I tell you? I'm a doctor, so I can cure myself."
There wasn't much time for Li Xingyun to consider, so he could only nod and say, "Alright then, we'll bet everything on this one chance."
Seeing Li Xingyun agree, Wu Tian took Li Xingyun's hand.
Quietly, spiritual energy was injected into Li Xingyun's body.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ling Xinchun, due to his arrogance, still hadn't noticed the subtle movements of Wu Tian and the other.
After a bout of laughter, he sneered again and said, "The two rats are dead, so the countdown to the demon race's return should begin."
"Once the Demon Lord descends upon this world again, the humiliation the demon race once suffered will be washed away!"
After speaking, he was about to go out and wreak havoc.
But at that moment, a whistling sound pierced the air, and a bolt of lightning shot out, striking Ling Xinchun.
This bolt of lightning did not harm him at all. He looked forward and saw Wu Tian slowly emerging from the dust.
"Hmm?"
He felt a bit surprised, "You're still alive? How is that possible?"
Wu Tian walked unsteadily, as if he might collapse at any moment.
With tears streaming down his face, he said, "You dare to kill my brother, I will never forgive you!"
"Oh?" Hearing Wu Tian's roar, Ling Xinchun showed a mocking smile, "What, you took the attack for him, and in the end, he died, but you're still alive?"
"But even if you're not dead, what does it matter? Look at you now, you can't even walk steadily. Do you still want revenge?"
"Haha, humans are indeed a foolish race!"
"Even at this point, you still don't recognize the gap. What can you use to deal with me now?"
Wu Tian roared, "I have a way to kill you. If you're really that powerful, then dare to take this move from me!"
"In my opinion, you're not invincible at all!"
"What did you say?" Ling Xinchun laughed even more heartily, shaking his head repeatedly, "I think you've really lost your mind to say something like that."
He spread his arms and said, "If you truly have that ability, then come and attack. I promise I won't defend."
"With your current state, you can't even harm a single hair on my head, and you still want to kill me. How ridiculous!"
Wu Tian shouted, "Since that's the case, then watch closely!"
As his voice fell, Wu Tian stomped his foot hard on the ground.
He transformed into a streak of lightning and shot out, appearing behind Ling Xinchun.
He tightly embraced Ling Xinchun's waist, like a U-shaped clamp, refusing to let go.
Ling Xinchun hadn't expected that this was what Wu Tian intended to do.
He burst into laughter again and said, "No way, is this the method you were talking about?"
"If you want to self-destruct, then I advise you to save it!"
"With the strength of a ninth-level spiritual cultivator like you, even self-destruction wouldn't be able to harm me!"
