Chapter 1895: Chapter 1992: Desperately Blocking
In the depths of the sky, only thousands of miles away from the Pill Saint Palace, the umbrella holder stands in mid-air, gazing at the Pill Saint Palace for a long time, never interfering in the slightest.
Seeing the first-generation Demon Saint charge out from the Demon Clanâs Sacred Tree, ready to seize the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, the umbrella holderâs expression is somewhat unpleasant; even he didnât anticipate things developing to this point.
Though the umbrella holder is also one of the Ancient Spirit Incarnations, he is not on the same path as Mo Shouhe and the first-generation Demon Saint, thus he wonât assist them in seizing the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.
However, if asked to help Fang Qingye and Hou Yi, that too would be impossible. The umbrella holder is, after all, an Ancient Spirit Incarnation, part of Mountain Tuâs Ancient Spirit, and he is not free, bound by the constraints of the Ancient Spirit.
Itâs already quite commendable that the umbrella holder doesnât help Mo Shouhe and the others. Forcing him to assist Fang Qingye in dealing with other Ancient Spirit Incarnations is unrealistic.
This is akin to the relationship between the Human Clan and the Demon Beasts; itâs impossible for a strong human to help the Demon Clan against their own kind.
The umbrella holder chooses to remain an observer, letting things run their course; he shall not interfere, whether Mo Shouhe secures the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill or Fang Qingye and others hold it, the umbrella holder maintains a stance of neutrality.
In his heart, though, the umbrella holder hopes Fang Qingye and the others will safeguard the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.
"Even at the cost of your bodies perishing, youâre determined to reveal yourselves for the steal; you truly wish desperately for Mountain Tuâs Ancient Spirit to re-emerge in the world." The umbrella holder murmurs, shaking his head.
Despite the unfavorable situation for the Pill Saint Palace, the umbrella holder does not seem overly worried; thereâs a hint of anticipation in his deep gaze.
"Young lad from later generations, do not disappoint me and old man Xuanyuan." The umbrella holder mutters, continuing to watch the unfolding events.
Within the Pill Saint Palace, Bai Qingxueâs expression shifts as well, an unprecedentedly grave look appearing on her face.
An astonishing feeling descends that suffocates all living beings; even Bai Qingxue, an apex practitioner at the time, finds herself bowed as if faced with an unbeatable deity.
Most terrifyingly, the first-generation Demon Saint hasnât even reached Bai Qingxue, yet exerts such fearsome pressure.
Suddenly, footsteps echo, and a figure strides forward from the opposite end of the corridor, bathed in golden light, with an intense demon qi saturating the surroundings.
Bai Qingxueâs eyelids twitch incessantly; from the first-generation Demon Saint, she senses an overwhelmingly powerful aura comparable to Martial Arts Supreme. Being Fang Qingyeâs wife allows her a deeper understanding of the first-generation Demon Saintâs potency.
Gripping her longsword tightly, Bai Qingxue remains calm; despite the visitor being much stronger, she cannot retreat with Fang Linâs pill refining chamber behind her. If she does, her son faces peril, and should the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill fall into the Ancient Spirit Incarnationsâ hands, the consequences would be unimaginable; previous efforts, including those by Xuanyuan Ya in the ancient wilderness era, would all be for naught, and the worldâs beings would face utter destruction.
Thus, Bai Qingxue knows she cannot retreat; even if it means dying, she must block the first-generation Demon Saint and ensure the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill is destroyed rather than falling into the Ancient Spirit Incarnationsâ grasp.
The first-generation Demon Saint sees Bai Qingxue, expressionless as if looking at a corpse, remarkably cold.
In an instant, the first-generation Demon Saint is before Bai Qingxue, a palm directly aimed at her face.
If it were any martial artist under the Heavenly Mandate of this era, they would have no chance against such a sudden strike, but only Bai Qingxue, at the critical moment, throws a punch to face the first-generation Demon Saint head-on.
BOOM!!!
The ground beneath them collapses instantly; only the secret chamber behind Bai Qingxue remains untouched, with Bai Qingxue absorbing and dissipating all the force.
Bai Qingxueâs form retreats rapidly, her back slamming into the stone door of the chamber, her right arm gone, shattered by the first-generation Demon Saintâs strike.
Unable to suppress it, fresh blood surges from her throat. Bai Qingxue wobbles, using her left arm to wipe away the blood at the corner of her mouth, her eyes steadfastly fixed on the first-generation Demon Saint.
Frowning, the first-generation Demon Saint seems surprised that his strike didnât kill the woman before him.
Bai Qingxue feels more bitter, her full-force punch unable to harm the first-generation Demon Saint at all. Instead, his palmâs power shattered her right arm, causing severe damage to her internal organs.
Just one move reveals the massive gap between them; without reaching the Supreme Realm, one cannot contend with a supreme power, even if sheâs Bai Qingxue, renowned as the top beneath Martial Lords.
"Trying to use your life to stop me? Even at your best, you canât hinder me in the slightest." The first-generation Demon Saint speaks coldly, his palm attacking again.
"Oh, really?" Bai Qingxue snorts coldly, an invisible force spreading out, freezing everything around them, including the first-generation Demon Saint.
Itâs the method Bai Qingxue used to kill the Old Demon Saint previously; facing a stronger first-generation Demon Saint now, she deploys it once more.
This move is particularly lethal; once caught, the Old Demon Saint could only wait for death, unable to resist.
The first-generation Demon Saint is similarly caught, his figure halts abruptly, surprise flashing in his eyes.
"You actually managed to hold my form; you shouldnât possess such power." The first-generation Demon Saint remarks, bemused.
Silent, Bai Qingxue transforms her left hand into a sword, aiming to repeat the tactic and sever the first-generation Demon Saintâs head.
However, the first-generation Demon Saint, unlike the Old Demon Saint, possesses utterly unmatched power; a burst of golden light instantly breaks Bai Qingxueâs secret skill.
BAM!!!
Bai Qingxue takes a heavy blow, her abdomen pierced by a beam of golden light, causing her to collapse on the floor, her breath faltering, face pale.
The first-generation Demon Saintâs expression darkens; he continues to falter in killing a martial artist under the Heavenly Mandate, which is unexpected.
Moreover, his appearance here is a risk, unable to sustain for long; he must quickly obtain the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.
Swaying, Bai Qingxue stands again, enveloped in a faint green glow that rapidly heals her injuries.
"No wonder youâve held out so long; Fang Qingyeâs strength is within you." The first-generation Demon Saint notes blandly upon seeing the green light emerge from Bai Qingxue.
Bai Qingxue gasps lightly, a peculiar smile curling upon her lips.
"Hmm?" The first-generation Demon Saint immediately senses something amiss, abruptly realizing his internal energy flow is slowing, showing signs of solidification.
