Chapter 487 - 367: Killing Intent, Breaking the Formation, Ranked First

Once the fierce beast, condensed from the Array Power, took shape, it immediately started slaughtering the surrounding disciples.

Some disciples were powerful enough and naturally didn’t take these fierce beasts seriously.

However, for those at the Divinity Transformation Stage, these beasts were downright devastating.

"Ah—!"

Piercing screams echoed throughout the massive stone chamber, one after another.

In an instant, countless Immortal Trees and severed limbs were sent flying, and crimson blood stained the stone room red.

At that moment, Lin Chang’sheng was not participating in the battle. Instead, he activated his Divine Shield to ward off the beasts’ attacks, while constantly probing the surroundings with his Divine Sense, searching for Xiang Tian’s whereabouts.

That brat must be close by—unless he has no intention of leaving here alive.

Sure enough, good things come to those who wait. Lin Chang’sheng spotted the heavily injured Xiang Tian in a side passage. Not only was he seriously wounded, his cultivation had even dropped to the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation.

That probably had to do with the black pill he’d just swallowed.

"Finally found you!"

Once Lin Chang’sheng locked onto his position, he snapped his eyes open and rushed straight toward the cave where Xiang Tian was hiding.

Xiang Tian was sharp, too. The moment he sensed Lin Chang’sheng chasing, he grabbed Zhao Shuang’Er and kept running.

But how could he possibly outrun Lin Chang’sheng?

He hadn’t gotten far before Lin Chang’sheng caught up to him.

"Don’t come any closer! One more step and I’ll kill her!"

Xiang Tian gripped Zhao Shuang’Er, threatening Lin Chang’sheng.

But since Lin Chang’sheng dared to chase him down, obviously he wasn’t afraid of threats.

He had personally refined the Infinite Holy Pill—so long as Zhao Shuang’Er had one last breath, she could still be saved.

"You think I care about her life?"

Lin Chang’sheng sneered coldly.

His words stunned Xiang Tian. If Lin Chang’sheng didn’t care about Zhao Shuang’Er, then why keep chasing him?

Was he just here to kill him?

"Fine. If you don’t care, I’ll kill her right now!"

While he spoke, Xiang Tian tightened his grip, making Zhao Shuang’Er’s face contort with pain.

But he didn’t actually deal a killing blow—because if Zhao Shuang’Er really died, he’d lose his last bargaining chip and be truly doomed.

So, he just put on a show, trying to scare Lin Chang’sheng.

Yet from Lin Chang’sheng’s face, he couldn’t read even a hint of anxiety.

"Go ahead and squeeze harder! If you can’t kill her, I’ll help you!"

Lin Chang’sheng summoned the Thunder God Bow, pulled back the bowstring, and instantly, thunderous bolts and arrows took form.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo—

The next instant, a barrage of arrows sliced through the air, shooting toward Zhao Shuang’Er and Xiang Tian.

"You lunatic—!"

Xiang Tian panicked immediately. Clearly, Lin Chang’sheng truly didn’t give a damn about Zhao Shuang’Er’s life!

Seeing there was no way to dodge, Xiang Tian flung Zhao Shuang’Er forward, trying to use her body to block the incoming arrows.

Thwack—

Thwack—

But unfortunately, how could mere flesh withstand Thunderbolt Arrows?

The sharp, domineering arrows pierced straight through Zhao Shuang’Er, still heading for Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian was totally spent—he could only gather the last dregs of his Primordial Power to form a flimsy shield in front of him.

But how could such a feeble shield stop Thunderbolt Arrows?

Bang! Bang! Bang—

With bursts of explosions, the Thunderbolt Arrows blasted right through the shield, slamming into Xiang Tian and sending him flying.

In a heartbeat, both Zhao Shuang’Er and Xiang Tian lay battered on the ground, gravely injured.

As Zhao Shuang’Er hit the floor, Lin Chang’sheng’s face finally showed urgent concern.

He instantly stowed away the Thunder God Bow and rushed to her side.

When Zhao Shuang’Er saw the worried look on Lin Chang’sheng’s face, she felt that even if she died now, she could go in peace.

"Bro—Brother Chang’sheng, I... I can’t stay with you anymore—"

Zhao Shuang’Er’s lips stained with blood as she whispered.

Honestly, she never intended for Lin Chang’sheng to risk his life just to save her. Maybe this was the best outcome.

After all, her life wasn’t as precious as his.

He had inherited the Divine legacy—his future would know no bounds.

"Don’t talk. Swallow this pill—quick!"

Lin Chang’sheng, seeing Xiang Tian barely clinging to life after being ravaged by the Thunderbolt Arrows, immediately took out the Infinite Holy Pill and gave it to Zhao Shuang’Er.

Fortunately, Lin Chang’sheng controlled the Thunderbolt Arrows accurately—they hadn’t hit Zhao Shuang’Er’s heart, or else she’d have been killed instantly.

Zhao Shuang’Er obediently raised her head and swallowed the pill Lin Chang’sheng passed to her.

She’d already resigned herself to death; there was no pill she dared not take.

Yet to her surprise, as the elixir entered her belly, a wave of warmth spread through her, surging into every part of her body—even her head.

She felt as if she were basking in a spring breeze—the intense pain vanished at once.

Meanwhile, the wounds from the arrows began to heal rapidly.

Zhao Shuang’Er had taken four arrows—one in her thigh, one in the abdomen, one in her right chest, and one in her shoulder.

These wounds looked gory, but none were fatal.

Nourished by the elixir, her torn flesh knit back together at an astonishing speed—in just a few breaths, she’d fully recovered, as if nothing had happened at all.

Once healed, Zhao Shuang’Er felt no pain at all; in fact, she vaguely sensed she was about to break through to the next stage.

"That’s incredible!"

Zhao Shuang’Er gazed at Lin Chang’sheng in amazement. It was the first time she’d ever seen such a miraculous elixir—it could literally bring someone back from the brink of death.

"You bastard, you—you tricked me—"

Only then did Xiang Tian realize he’d been completely fooled by Lin Chang’sheng.
