Unfortunately, shouting "no" in this situation is useless and only excites the other party.
Wei Pingyang finally reacted and asked in a trembling voice, "Zu An, you're not dead yet?"
Zuan sneered twice: "How could I bear to die when you're still alive?"
"This is impossible!" Wei Pingyang trembled all over, filled with fear and astonishment. "You couldn't possibly have survived being pierced through the heart by Lu Xiao's flying sword."
Let alone him, even if the King of Qi or even the Emperor relaxed their defenses and allowed Lu Xiao to shoot a vital point with his sword, they might not survive.
Zu An sighed: "You have a life-saving treasure, but I don't?"
His thoughts returned to the back mountain of the academy before entering the secret realm, where Jiang Luofu led him to Xie Daoyun, who gave him a lifeline talisman.
It can mitigate 20% of the damage when facing a fatal attack. Whether one can survive after mitigating this 20% damage depends on individual luck, hence the name "Lifeline Talisman".
Fortunately, Zuan's body, tempered by the "Primordial Chaos Scripture," was extremely strong. After the damage was reduced, the sword did not completely destroy his heart meridian.
Even so, if someone had jumped into the pool and come to his side at that time, he would have certainly died.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao was so eager to pursue the Crown Prince and Crown Princess that he took everyone away, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
Other cultivators who reach the seventh rank also possess considerable recovery abilities, but such severe injuries would absolutely require at least half a year to heal.
The Primordial Chaos Scripture's restorative abilities far surpass those of ordinary cultivators, allowing it to repair his injuries to a considerable extent in a short period, at least giving him the strength to fight again.
Wei Pingyang never expected such a thing to happen, and caught off guard, he was subdued by the opponent's "Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique".
Hearing Zu An's words, Wei Pingyang felt a wave of despair. Seeing his increasingly withered arms, he knew he could no longer break free from the other party, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
"You brat, I'll make sure you don't get away with this even if I die!" After saying that, he gathered all his strength and shattered his heart meridian, committing suicide.
After all, he was a grandmaster, a remarkable figure in the world, and naturally possessed some special techniques. In addition, Zu'an was currently seriously injured, and his control over the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique was not as strong as usual, which is why he was able to successfully sever his own heart meridian.
Zuan released him, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "He's quite a decisive person."
Back then, Mosquito Taoist had always wanted to survive and break free, but in the end, not only did he fail to escape, but all his cultivation was also taken advantage of.
Zaun has a blue duck that can live freely in the water, so it didn't rush out of the water, but first checked the condition inside its body.
Now his body is full of vital energy. Although the injury to his chest is still there, it is already healing itself. Overall, his combat power has returned to its peak.
He examined his inner self and found that eight of the ninth-grade magic arrays had been lit up, leaving only the last one.
Zu An secretly lamented that he had just absorbed about half of Wei Pingyang's cultivation. If he had absorbed it all, Wei Pingyang would probably have already broken through to the Grandmaster realm.
"You're dreaming," Mi Li snorted. "Breaking through from the ninth rank to the grandmaster isn't that easy. It's not simply a matter of accumulating vital energy."
Zuan chuckled awkwardly, "I was just saying that casually. By the way, why do I feel that absorbing other people's energy is much less effective than absorbing Old Man Mi's energy?"
Previously, when Mi Li broke the seal, he only absorbed one-third of Old Man Mi's cultivation and directly jumped to a higher realm. In comparison, the improvement brought by Wei Pingyang's cultivation was much smaller.
“Of course,” Mi Li explained, “Old Man Mi thought he could possess you, so he willingly poured all his cultivation into your body. Moreover, he also cultivated the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, and his primordial energy was of the same origin as yours, so it was naturally much better than you using the 'Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique' to absorb other people’s cultivation.”
"I see." Zuan nodded and rushed out of the water.
A waterspout surged out with him, and Zu An leaped into the air. He felt his inner energy surging, and with a shake of his arms, the pool behind him exploded with a bang, sending a row of huge splashes of water into the air.
After regulating his internal energy, Zuan looked at his palm and said with some joy, "Now, if I were to fight a Grandmaster again, I feel like I could win."
“You have a strange confidence,” Mi Li rolled her eyes. “Right now you only have the strength to fight, and you’re not as pathetic as you were just now. It’s not a big problem to fight against those who have just entered the Grandmaster realm, but against those veteran Grandmasters, although you have a chance to win, you are more likely to lose.”
"Haha, that's enough," Zuan laughed.
Mi Li didn't refute it. This guy was always good at winning against the odds. Every time he was at a complete disadvantage, he could find a glimmer of hope. His combat ability was indeed extraordinary.
Seeing his gaze fixed on the direction where Bi Linglong and the others had left, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you still going?"
Zuan nodded: "We've already come this far, how can we give up now?"
Mi Li's tone was somewhat impatient: "You've done enough for that woman, you almost lost your life, isn't that enough? Although your cultivation has improved now, Lu Xiao is a mid-stage Grandmaster, you can't beat him."
At lower levels, it's not impossible for some geniuses to defeat stronger enemies beyond their level, but as you progress, the gap between each minor level becomes larger, not to mention the gap between major levels, making it almost impossible to challenge enemies beyond one's level.
Only a prodigy like Zuan, who possesses various divine skills, could barely challenge him, but there is always a limit. It is clear that Lu Xiao, who is at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster level, has already exceeded that limit.
Zu An looked at Mi Li and said, "Tell me honestly, what are my chances of winning if I fight Lu Xiao?"
