"Hopefully the simulation is correct, otherwise..."
Qin Luo took a deep breath as he watched the willow branches hurtling towards him. He enveloped Xia Zihan with his spiritual energy and then pushed her behind him.
The next moment, several willow branches pierced his body, with sharp barbs stretching out inside him.
"This is really not your average pain!"
Qin Luo's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke with difficulty.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu!"
Xia Zihan's pupils contracted upon seeing this. She didn't understand why Wang Wu had to come back to save her, when he could have escaped.
She never imagined that someone would stand in front of her without hesitation at this critical moment of life and death.
At that moment, she seemed to be touched, and then a determined look appeared in her eyes. The purple spiritual energy in her body surged, tearing apart the spiritual energy that Qin Luo was using to envelop her, and then she rushed towards him.
puff!
Qin Luo spat out a mouthful of pus and blood upon seeing this scene, nearly dying of anger! He had finally managed to save her, so why did she rush back at him again as soon as she turned around? Did Xia Zihan really enjoy giving herself away so easily?
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu, run! With your strength, you have no chance of winning."
Qin Luo called out weakly to Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan remained silent, only charging towards them. But the next moment, a willow branch radiating a sharp light lashed out like lightning, striking her abdomen and sending her flying. A bloody wound appeared on her abdomen.
Qin Luo's heart tightened upon seeing this. Would he accidentally beat Xia Zihan to death?
Before he could think too much, Qin Luo felt a sharp pain in his body, followed by the contraction of the willow branches within him, dragging him into the dense network of willow branches of the Soul-Devouring Willow King...
On the ground some distance away, Xia Zihan trembled as she propped herself up and saw Qin Luo being dragged inside. A tear involuntarily rolled down her cheek.
At this moment, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart, an emotion she had only felt when her mother was killed by those traitors. But at this moment, she felt immense grief.
"We've finally arrived."
At this moment, Qin Luo looked weakly at the willow branches that were covered with countless barbs. Looking up, he saw dense willow branches swirling around him, and at the very center was a huge mouth covered with countless sharp thorns.
He could vaguely see from above the countless eerie white bones inside the giant maw.
Qin Luo took a deep breath. From the previous simulation, he learned that the inside of the Soul-Devouring Willow King was its weakest point, and it would only drag its prey in to devour it when it believed that the prey had no ability to resist.
"I hope you won't let me down."
With a thought, Qin Luo took out the Destruction Pill from the system space and threw it into the giant mouth with a cold laugh.
With a deafening roar, a dazzling light burst forth from the gigantic maw, followed by a surge of violent energy. The Soul-Devouring Willow King let out a hoarse voice, its entire body trembling violently.
The powerful explosive force ravaged the interior of the Soul-Devouring Willow King, destroying its core and vitality. Its once wildly writhing body gradually stiffened, and countless willow branches drooped helplessly.
Qin Luo was thrown back by the impact, but fortunately he managed to grab onto a willow branch and regain his balance. At this moment, the inside of the Soul-Devouring Willow King was a bloody mess, devoid of any life force.
With the dust settled, Qin Luo looked at the now motionless Soul-Devouring Willow King and breathed a sigh of relief. Exhausted, he slumped to the ground, panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat.
"This Destruction Pill truly lives up to its reputation as an attack from a Soul Contract Realm expert. If it hadn't erupted within the Soul Devouring Willow King's body, I probably would have been shattered by that terrifying impact in an instant."
Just then, the Soul-Devouring Willow King's enormous body began to emit an eerie light, and then a mysterious liquid slowly seeped out from its trunk.
The liquid was a deep, dark blue, with a faint fluorescent glow on its surface, as if it contained boundless, mysterious power. It exuded a rich spiritual energy; merely approaching it caused even cultivators at the Spirit Gathering Realm to feel the spiritual energy within their meridians stirring.
Before long, a small pool filled with a dark blue liquid appeared in front of him.
"This is?"
Qin Luo walked over, then inserted his finger. Instantly, a surge of highly refined spiritual energy flowed into his dantian, and at the same time, he felt some changes in the meridians within his body.
But the liquid level in the pool dropped in just a moment, prompting him to quickly pull his finger out.
Qin Luo looked at the Qi Sea in his body with some helplessness. After absorbing that spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the Qi Sea only increased by a trace. It seems that this pool is still for Xia Zihan to use.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly went out, but unexpectedly he saw Xia Zihan lying on the ground. There was blood all over the ground where she was, and a broken willow branch was lying next to her.
It seems that Xia Zihan and Liu Zhi had gone through a major battle.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu, how are you?"
Qin Luo quickly came to her side and then channeled spiritual energy into her body.
Unexpectedly, he was dragged inside unharmed, but Xia Zihan outside was injured so badly, which made him panic.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, cough cough, you're alright, really, really well."
Xia Zihan barely opened her eyes, and after seeing that Qin Luo was alright, she revealed a genuine smile. However, this smile, combined with her current injuries, created a chilling and desolate scene.
"You! Didn't I tell you to run? Why are you still here?"
After Qin Luo sensed the life force within her slowly dissipating, he picked her up and carried her towards the deep blue pool, cursing as he did so.
"If I were to leave like this, wouldn't I be letting down Wang Wu, my fellow Daoist..."
As Xia Zihan spoke, the color drained from her face, and her eyes began to slowly close.
Damn it!
Qin Luo had already run to the pool and, seeing the situation, threw Xia Zihan in.
The moment Xia Zihan's body touched the pool water, the dark blue liquid quickly enveloped her. Qin Luo looked tense, his eyes fixed on Xia Zihan in the pool.
The deep blue liquid seemed to possess a life of its own, slowly seeping into Xia Zihan's pores. Her deep, bone-revealing wounds began to heal at an incredible speed. The previously gaping flesh gradually closed up, revealing new skin as white and smooth as jade, without leaving a single scar.
Wherever the liquid touched, the meridians damaged by taking the Restorative Pulse Pill were rapidly repaired, becoming stronger and wider, and spiritual energy flowed freely within the meridians.
Xia Zihan's aura gradually stabilized and strengthened. Her dantian was like a vortex, frantically absorbing the mysterious energy in the liquid. Spiritual energy gathered and compressed within her body, constantly challenging the bottleneck of her cultivation.
