Chapter 267: Dying
For Lin Qingyue, Su Yan’s feelings were very complicated. On the one hand, she was his little junior sister, and it was his duty to take care of her. But thinking of what she had once done to him, he was a little unsure of how to face her.
But fortunately, after not seeing her for a few years, he had completely let go of this matter. It was just that he had not expected to suddenly see her again, and that he had been saved by her. He really didn’t know what to say.
Su Yan’s mind was in a turmoil. The battle on the other side had already ended.
The woman in black, in order to complete her mission, had not hesitated to use a forbidden technique. Just as she was about to catch up to the flying ship, she had not expected to be suddenly blocked by a figure.
“Is this person looking for death?”
She clearly knew her strength. They were no match for her, yet they dared to appear in front of her. Besides looking for trouble, there was no other explanation.
Just as the woman in black’s face showed disdain, and she was about to deal with her at any moment, an unexpected situation occurred.
Logically, the gap between the Body Integration and Spirit Transformation stages was like a chasm. Although it was just a casual strike, she had already used fifty percent of her strength. Even if she didn’t die, she would be seriously injured. But what did she see?
“She actually took it casually.”
The woman in black’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Lin Qingyue was standing in the sky. Faced with the approaching attack, she had just waved her hand and had sent her attack flying.
Had she become weaker? Or had she misjudged, and had not been serious?
The woman in black couldn’t help but think this. However, the attack that had landed on the ground had caused the sky and the earth to shake. The ground for several miles around had been turned over. This had dispelled her doubts.
“What’s going on?”
The woman in black didn’t understand why Lin Qingyue could easily block her attack, and why she couldn’t feel her aura at all.
The woman in black was stunned. Lin Qingyue, on the other hand, was not. Feeling the powerful strength in her body, a look of shock, anger, and pain appeared on her face.
She was shocked that the strength of the Tribulation Transcendence stage was so powerful. Even though it was just a wisp, it could easily kill a thousand of her. She was in pain because she had underestimated this power and had overestimated her own body. After casually sending the woman in black’s attack flying, she had some trouble controlling herself, and it was even difficult to move her body.
“Move! Move for me!”
The longsword, which was emitting a faint light, was held in her fingers. A continuous stream of terrifying power flowed into her body. This was the life-saving power that the master of the immortal’s residence had given to the inheritor. But because Lin Qingyue was too weak, it had instead become the culprit that had put her in a life-and-death crisis.
The woman in black felt very strange. Why did this woman make her feel afraid? What was with this uncontrollable fear in her heart?
This vague sense of palpitation… she had only experienced it from the Sect Master. How could this little girl?
Although she couldn’t believe it, the woman in black’s soul was frantically reminding her that if she got close to Lin Qingyue, something terrible might happen.
Being careful, the woman in black moved away from her, pretending that she had not seen anything.
Lin Qingyue saw that the woman in black had no intention of paying attention to her and was immediately anxious. Had she noticed her state?
Because she had used a power that did not belong to her, her body could not bear it, and she could not control this power at all. She could only defend and counterattack?
Damn it! Move for me! If I let her catch up to the flying ship just like that, then what’s the point of me activating this power?
Thinking this, Lin Qingyue gritted her teeth and controlled her body with her willpower. The hand holding the sword slowly moved. Every angle of lifting was like supporting a thousand-pound weight.
But finally…
“Die!”
Lin Qingyue swung her sword, and the terrifying power had a channel to vent. A sword light flashed and disappeared.
In an instant, the world was silent. Then the clouds in the sky parted, and a long, narrow, bottomless abyss was split open on the ground. The woman in black’s figure stood there in a daze, and then a flower of blood bloomed from her body, and she fell powerlessly from the sky.
She was dead, just from a single blow.
Su Yan was completely stunned. He had known that Lin Qingyue had a trump card, but he had not expected it to be such a terrifying trump card. Even a Spirit Transformation cultivator was completely helpless against it. What kind of terrifying power was this?
Xiao Wu was also very surprised. But after the surprise, her figure flashed, and she quickly flew in Lin Qingyue’s direction.
For a low-level cultivator to use a high-level power, they had to pay a price. The power of Lin Qingyue’s strike was so strong, the price she had to pay must also be extremely heavy.
Sure enough, before Xiao Wu could fly to her side, Lin Qingyue was like a kite with a broken string, falling straight from the sky.
Su Yan was immediately anxious. When he arrived at Xiao Wu’s side, his eyes immediately widened.
“What’s going on?”
Su Yan was stunned. The junior sister who had just been so lively was now as pale as paper. Blood was constantly overflowing from the corner of her mouth, and her whole person looked as if she only had half a breath left.
“This is the price of using that attack just now. Let’s take her back quickly. Otherwise, she might die.”
Sensing that Lin Qingyue’s life force was rapidly weakening, Xiao Wu shouted loudly.
Only then did Su Yan wake up as if from a dream. He and Xiao Wu held Lin Qingyue and boarded the flying ship, rushing towards the Transcendent Immortal Sect.
Along the way, Lin Qingyue’s condition visibly worsened. She kept spitting out blood, her face grew paler, and her breathing became weaker.
“What’s going on?”
Seeing this, Su Yan was about to be crushed to death.
Xiao Wu said, “What else can it be? She used a power she shouldn’t have. Her current self can’t bear it. She’s already on the verge of death.”
Hearing Xiao Wu’s words, Su Yan finally knew what his bad premonition was about. How could he be so stupid? To use such a rule-breaking power, how could he not pay a price?
“You knew all along?”
Su Yan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xiao Wu.
“Mm.”
Xiao Wu nodded.
“Then you still…”
Halfway through his sentence, Su Yan stopped, because he knew that in that situation, there was no other way but to do so.
How many things had his senior sister done for him? She had been in a life-and-death crisis more than once. Could he be angry at her? The most important thing now was to save his junior sister.
At this thought, Su Yan used his own healing technique and kept releasing it on her. But after dozens of times, not only did her injuries not improve, but there were even signs of them worsening.
“It’s useless. Her injuries are too serious. There’s only hope if we go to the sect.”
Xiao Wu shook her head. Su Yan also understood this. So he and Xiao Wu drove the flying ship together, wanting to return to the sect as soon as possible.
Because the two of them did not count the cost, they soon arrived at the gate of the Transcendent Immortal Sect. Xiao Wu held Lin Qingyue and, after revealing their identities, hurried towards Heavenly Water Peak.
Not only was Bai Shuixin powerful, but she was also very skilled in healing and saving people. Xiao Wu was very clear about this.
“Master, come and save my junior sister quickly.”
Before she even entered the room, Xiao Wu shouted loudly.
Bai Shuixin was sitting in meditation when she suddenly heard Xiao Wu’s voice, which surprised her greatly.
Xiao Wu had always been calm and composed. When had she ever been so flustered?
With a question in her heart, Bai Shuixin walked out of the room and saw the seriously injured and dying Lin Qingyue at a glance.
“What’s wrong with Qingyue? Who could have hurt her? How did she become like this?”
Although she had left the Transcendent Immortal Sect these years and no longer had contact with Su Yan and Xiao Wu, Lin Qingyue was, after all, a disciple of the Transcendent Immortal Sect. She would keep in contact with her Master when she was out. So Bai Shuixin was very clear about her encounters and strength.
“It’s a long story. I can’t care about that much now. Master, you should take a look at my junior sister quickly. She seems to be on the verge of death.”
Without Xiao Wu having to say it, Bai Shuixin could see that Lin Qingyue’s face was as pale as paper. At this moment, she was breathing out more than she was breathing in. This was a sign that she was about to die.
“Let me see.”
Bai Shuixin took Lin Qingyue and carefully examined her with her divine sense. However, the more she looked, the worse her expression became. Lin Qingyue’s meridians were broken, and her soul was also seriously injured. The fact that she was not dead now was because of her exceptional talent. If it were an ordinary person, they would have long since been unable to hold on.
“How could this be?”
Hearing this, Su Yan was greatly shocked. He had thought it was just a physical injury, but he hadn’t expected her soul to be damaged as well. This was something that concerned a person’s life. A slight mistake would result in death.
“That’s the truth. I can’t do anything about this kind of injury either. You should go and find your mother and have her send a professional to take a look.”
Bai Shuixin instructed Xiao Wu as she released a technique to treat Lin Qingyue. She also took out a porcelain bottle from her robes, took out a pill, and fed it to her. Only then did Lin Qingyue’s condition stop worsening.
“I’ll go now.”
Xiao Wu left.
Su Yan looked at Lin Qingyue’s weak figure, his eyes becoming dazed.
Even his Master had no way. Could others really do it? If his junior sister couldn’t be saved this time and that kind of thing really happened, then he would definitely not forgive himself for the rest of his life.
“She will be fine. She will definitely be safe.”
As if to convince himself, Su Yan couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
Xiao Wu’s speed was very fast. After explaining the situation, someone immediately came here.
It was a woman with a gentle temperament. After seeing Lin Qingyue’s predicament, she immediately took her into the room and then carefully examined her.
Under the gazes of the crowd, she frowned and said, “Her injuries are too serious. Her meridians are severely damaged, and her soul is also injured. It’s a miracle that she’s still alive.”
Bai Shuixin had already said this just now. Xiao Wu quickly asked, “Then can she still be saved?”
Hearing this, Su Yan became nervous and couldn’t help but slow his breathing. He didn’t want to hear the thing he wanted to hear the least. However, the situation was not the worst, but it couldn’t be said to be good either.
“Whether she can be saved or not, we’ll only know after we’ve tried. I’m only fifty percent sure. I can’t guarantee success. And even if we succeed, there might be side effects.”
Hearing the woman’s words, Su Yan’s heart immediately turned half-cold. A fifty percent chance of death? He couldn’t accept this.
“Isn’t there anyone with better medical skills?”
Su Yan couldn’t help but ask.
Xiao Wu shook her head. He said no more.
