Ling Yun quickly placed Little White on the ground and took out a Healing Talisman from his Spatial ring. He leaned over Dongfang Ting. âElder Brother Dongfang, quick, tell me where your wounds are. Iâll heal you!â
âYounger Brother Ling Yun, thank you, but itâs useless. My back and legs have been pierced by the stone swords in so many areas. I canât even move now!â
Ling Yun didnât listen to Dongfang Tingâs nonsense. He immediately patted the Healing Talisman lightly on the wounds that Dongfang Ting had mentioned before shouting internally,
Come!
Dongfang Ting didnât know what Ling Yun had done to his body, but he felt a strange coolness on his injuries. When all of his wounds had mysteriously vanished thereafter, he was both surprised and delighted at once!
âYounger Brother Ling Yun, thisâŠâ Dongfang Ting was filled with boundless gratitude and shouted in shock.
Ling Yun laughed. âDonât say anything yet. The three of us need to lean against the stone wall now. If my guess is correct, the next wave of stone swords will come out from the ground!â
After he had spoken, Ling Yun carried Little White while bringing both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting to the side of a stone wall. He calmly said, âThe next wave of stone swords will be the last one in the killing spell. As long as we can endure it, this spell formation should die away!â
Dugu Mo gasped in astonishment. âBut the stone swords will shoot out from the ground this time, so how are we going to hide?â
Ling Yun gritted his teeth. âWe have no choice, we can only protect the vital parts of our bodies while taking the hitsâŠâ
Dugu Mo was so afraid that he covered his private part tightly. Sensing something amiss, he immediately covered his buttocks.
Ling Yun could hear his series of movements and laughed in amusement. âItâs pointless to cover up, you can only use weapons to block the attack!â
Dugu Mo responded naively, âDonât you have the Devilâs Blade? Canât you use it to dig a hole in the stone wall so that we can burrow into it for safety?â
Ling Yun laughed aloud. âDonât you even think about it! Where are those stone swords shot out from? If I use my blade to cut the stone walls at this time, I guarantee that it will trigger a more formidable restriction!â
Ling Yun already knew that the killing spell was called the Rebellion Limitless Sword Spell and that it was used in tandem with the spells of illusion and confusion. What they had triggered could only be considered a very minor spell compared to the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell.
âConcentrate fully, demolish the barrier between yourselves and objects, protect yourselves. Here comes the third wave!â After Ling Yun instructed the two of them, they heard the sound of stone swords shooting out with laser-like precision.
Truly, all of the stone swords were shot out from the ground this time and left one virtually indefensible.
Ling Yun wildly activated the Stellar Condensation Technique as he held Little White â which was curled up into a ball â tightly against his chest. His body was forcefully bent backwards until it had formed an exaggerated angle with the ground. Then, he frantically brandished his blade behind him to sever the stone swords that had shot forth from the ground!
Even if that had been the case, he was only able to protect the region above his knees. Both his calves and feet had been pierced by the stone sword and were bleeding non-stop!
Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting were letting out a series of groans beside Ling Yun; they had evidently sustained serious injuries!
Ling Yun couldnât attend to these matters now. He displayed a strong determination and grit his teeth as he bore the excruciating pain, enduring it until the wave of stone swords had ended before falling to the ground.
With two sounds, Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting practically tumbled to the ground at the same time. Other than Little White, which was under Ling Yunâs protection all this while, the trio was so riddled with injuries below their knees that their legs resembled sieves!
As for the giant âdragonâ, it had long been lying on the ground, immobilized. It didnât even make the slightest sound.
After the third wave of stone swords, the stone walls disappeared along with the dense white fog in an instant. The rocky cave immediately returned to a state of absolute darkness. If not for the deceased lying on the ground, it would seem as though nothing eventful had occurred.
Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes after establishing that the coast was clear. He carefully placed Little White aside before sitting up.
Ling Yun used the Healing Talismans to heal all of his wounds before walking towards Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting. He was able to see very clearly now and tossed the Healing Talismans directly onto their wounds for a quick recovery.
Smiling and visibly excited, both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting sprung to their feet simultaneously. Dugu Mo asked Ling Yun, âYou used the talisman from Maoshan, right? This plaything truly matches its legendary reputation, itâs so amazing!â
Ling Yun gave a slight smile. âWhat talisman from Maoshan? This is the healing technique from our Immortal Physician Sect, okay?â
Dongfang Ting cupped his fists and bowed deeply. With eyes full of sincere gratitude, he said, âLittle Brother Ling Yun, thank you so much for saving my life. If you ever need my assistance in the future, I wonât hesitate to go through fire and water for you!â
Ling Yun laughed aloud and waved his hand. âItâs a small matter. Alright, Iâll be deeply grateful as long as Elder Brother Dongfang doesnât think that Iâm a member of the Devil Sect, haha.â
Dugu Mo wasnât as polite as Dongfang Ting. He circled Ling Yun in excitement and asked, âYouâre really from the Immortal Physician Sect? I say, whatâs that talisman charm that you have? Can you give some of them to me? This plaything is really too good!â
Ling Yun ignored him, and his gaze swept across the vicinity of the stone doors. The five corpses of Shangguan Jue and the others lay on the floor â all of their bodies resembled sieves. Fresh blood was still bubbling out of their wounds, and their deaths were most tragic.
âHmph, these three fools nearly got us all killed in this place!â Ling Yun snorted coldly, while Dongfang Ting also grimaced and shook his head.
Dugu Mo flew over to feel the stone wall and felt the hard floor as well. He said skeptically, âWere those stone swords real or not?â
Ling Yun laughed. âThese stone swords were unreal, theyâre all effects of the spell formation. The pressure from the stone walls, the enveloping white fog, and the shooting stone swords were all unrealâŠâ
Dugu Mo raised another question. âBut all those stone walls and stone swords, they really hurt us! How do you explain that?â
Ling Yun frowned. âThe pressure from the stone walls was the effect of the illusion spell, which would influence your mind. You would think that the stone walls are really slamming against you and use all of your power to fight back, so, of course, you would sustain internal injuriesâŠâ
âAnd what about the stone swords?â Dugu Mo was bent on thoroughly investigating the matter.
Ling Yun explained patiently, âIt wasnât the stone swords that hurt you. On the contrary, after the spell formation had been activated, its power had miraculously transformed into the form and intended effect of the stone swords⊠It was actually the power of the spell formation that was hurting you! The stone swords were unreal, but the power was real!â
âGenius, how do you know all of this? Was it taught in your Immortal Physician Sect?â
âCut the crap!â
Ling Yun was truly unable to stand Dugu Moâs talkativeness. He snorted and turned his head towards the giant âdragonâ, which had encircled the dragonâs saliva. Wielding the Devilâs Underworld Essence Blade, he jumped lightly and landed in front of the creature.
Currently, anyone would have been able to see that the giant âdragonâ had completely lost its threatening air. Even if it hadnât perished yet, the creature had already lost its ability to attack humans. Its huge body was ridden with countless wounds; every part of it was full of sword-inflicted injuries and bleeding heavily!
Ling Yun scrutinized it. After establishing that the giant âdragonâ was still alive, he began to take out a Healing Talisman.
âI say, youâre not thinking of saving it right?â Dugu Mo asked in shock.
Ling Yun laughed. âYou said before that this is a rare spiritual beast. What it suffered was an undeserved catastrophe, so why not save it?â
Dongfang Ting laughed in admiration. Once again, he cupped his hands and bowed. âI didnât think that Little Brother Ling Yun would be so compassionate. I, Dongfang Ting, am completely won over!â
Ling Yun laughed, unaffected. âIt sustained such serious injuries, itâs not guaranteed that Iâll be able to save it. I can only do my best and leave the rest to it.â
After he had spoken, Ling Yun started to place the Healing Talismans on the vital parts of the giant âdragonâsâ body. The creature was simply too huge. After experiencing three waves of densely packed stone swords that pierced its body, the hundreds of talismans that Ling Yun possessed was insufficient. Thus, he had to prioritize the healing of the vital parts of the giant âdragonâsâ body.
The pythonâs vital parts were actually comprised of its head and a seven-inch radius around it. Out of the hundreds of Healing Talismans that he had, Ling Yun had a sufficient number of them to treat those two parts.
Taking the Healing Talismans, Ling Yun stuffed them piece by piece into the giant âdragonâsâ wounds. Each time he did so, Ling Yun shouted, âCome!â.
Given the sheer size of the giant âdragonâ, it would have been ineffective had Ling Yun merely stuck the Healing Talismans on its scales. Hence, he disregarded the bloody odor and painstakingly stuffed each of them into parts of the creatureâs body that he thought were most vital so that it would take effect.
However, the giant âdragonâ was already on the verge of death. There were innumerable sword-inflicted wounds on its body, and its heart had been pierced into pulp. Ling Yun was practically healing a dead âdragonâ as though it were alive.
After witnessing Ling Yunâs diligent attempts to save the giant âdragonâ, both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting couldnât help but stare speechlessly at each other with a look of astonishment and admiration.
âLet us help you, Ling YunâŠâ
Ling Yun gave a small smile and shook his head. âIts body has long turned into pulp internally! You both donât know the places to put the Healing Talismans for it to achieve maximum effect, so itâs better to let me do it alone!â
After spending the whole of three hours on the task, Ling Yun had practically exhausted his supply of Healing Talismans. He had only kept about seven to eight pieces of it for self-preservation, while the rest of them were used on the giant âdragonâ.
Seeing Ling Yun conjure a bundle of new talismans with a flip of his hand as soon as he had finished those he was holding, both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting were thoroughly amazed and shocked by his actions. However, they knew better than to ask him about it.
All of Ling Yunâs actions were simply unconscionable. He had appeared with the Devilâs Underworld Essence Blade, and with his Qinggong which had surpassed theirs, Ling Yun had led them through the terrifying ordeal brought about by the killing spell.
All of those actions had caused them to feel deeply astounded!
After Ling Yun had completed his task, he wasnât bothered by the bloody odor all over his body. With a shake of his body, he arrived at the puddle of milky-white dragonâs saliva.
Ling Yun turned his head towards Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting. âItâs impossible to open the three stone doors based on our current capabilities. Letâs abandon the idea of taking the Earth Emperorâs Book that you guys have been talking about. However, you can both drink a little of this substance â it will greatly benefit the cultivation of your martial arts techniques!â
âWhat is this?â Both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting asked curiously. Actually, they had caught sight of the dragonâs saliva after entering the place and knew that it was definitely something good. However, they had been preoccupied with the Earth Emperorâs Book. Also, with the giant âdragonâ fiercely guarding the saliva, they hadnât dared to entertain any covetous thoughts.
Now, Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting regarded Ling Yun as their savior after he had rescued them. Despite the differences in their temperaments, the duo was open and aboveboard. Hence, they had been waiting for Ling Yunâs arrangements.
Ling Yun smiled faintly. âSince weâre now in the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell, I suspect that this ought to be the dragonâs saliva. Frankly speaking, I journeyed to this place just for thisâŠâ
âDragonâs saliva? No wonder this giant python was guarding it fiercely and refused to let us go near it. So it had been thinking of using it to transform into a dragonâŠâ Dugu Mo mused.
âŠ
Ling Yun laughed inwardly. It was more the case of transforming into an alternative dragon â the creature was still a long way from transforming into a true dragon!
âBut we didnât bring any containers here, so how are we going to drink it?â Dugu Mo thought of another question and asked it gloomily.
Whether or not they were able to defeat Ling Yun in battle, Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting had already cultivated the initial stages of Houtian Realm Level Nine. If those two experts were to embarrass themselves by using their hands to scoop up the dragonâs saliva, they would probably be ridiculed by Ling Yun.
Ling Yun laughed heartily and took out a huge bottle of mineral water, as if by magic. The three of them took turns pouring the water to wash each otherâs hands. Then, Ling Yun took out three other smaller bottles and gave two to them.
âAfter being here for so long, Iâm sure you havenât managed to have a good drink. Finish the water in those bottles before filling it up with the dragonâs salivaâŠâ
Ling Yun smirked. It was precisely because of the spatial ring that he was able to feel superior and self-important before those two men.
Without needing Ling Yun to say those words, the duoâs unbearable thirst was awakened when they saw him taking out such a huge bottle of mineral water to wash their hands. Of course, they didnât need an invitation to drink up â they open the bottle and started gulping the water.
Dugu Mo and his group had previously been drinking the dripping water in the humid cave to quench their thirst and hadnât had a proper replenishment of their bodily fluids for at least twenty-four hours. Regardless of whichever expert it was, even the dragonâs saliva couldnât compare to Ling Yunâs bottles of water at the point of extreme thirst!
âDonât drink until youâre too full. You must leave some space in your stomach to drink up the dragonâs salivaâŠâ Ling Yun reminded them good-naturedly.
Dugu Mo had drunk the water in a single breath and rolled onto his back. He stamped his feet in regret. âF*ck, had I known earlier that you were coming down, I would have waited for you at Tiger Cliff! Why in the world did I make the wrong choice, only to suffer its consequences?â
Ling Yun loved to add fuel to the flames. He teased, âHey, actually, I had originally planned to come down here together with you, but who knew that youâd be so impatient as to rush down first?â
After hearing those words, Dugu Mo was filled with even more regret. His face was full of bitter remorse.
âAlright, quickly drink up the dragonâs saliva. You can both cultivate your powers straight away after drinking it. I will protect you guys during cultivation, but donât take too long!â
Although the dragonâs saliva only consisted of a puddle, even Ling Yunâs spatial ring was unable to store it. Even if the three of them were to stay on the spot and drink it for half a month, theyâd still not be able to finish it. Hence, Ling Yun didnât feel that it had been a wasted opportunity at all.
Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting were ecstatic after hearing Ling Yunâs words. They immediately went over to fill their respective bottles with the dragonâs saliva and began drinking it.
After they drank it, both of them nodded their heads simultaneously in Ling Yunâs direction. They each found a place nearby where they could sit cross-legged and cultivate their powers in solitude.
They knew that this was tantamount to entrusting their lives to Ling Yun, but since their lives had been saved by him, they were immensely confident in him.
After they had begun their cultivation, Ling Yun smiled faintly and took out the Psychic Jade Box.
