Finding Reinforcements

"What a terrifying Foundation. Even after being weakened twice, ordinary ultimate moves still can't deal serious damage. It seems I have no choice but to use my last hidden trump card."

He had completely forgotten what he had said just minutes before, or perhaps he felt that adding the prefix "hidden" made it different from a regular trump card.

"Sword, come!"

With a wave of his left hand, Si Ming summoned the Wheel-Turning King Sword on the ground, which seemed ready to take flight. Upon seeing this, Hongdou immediately released her protective barrier, allowing the magnificent Buddhist weapon to fly out and land in Si Ming's palm.

"Snow melts, a thousand peaks burn, a crimson dragon blazes!"

The Dragon Scale Sword spun rapidly, stirring up Sword Qi of fiery sword energy that converged into a roaring fire dragon, the raging flames dyeing the sky crimson.

"Rain Falls on All Things, Purple Dragon Billows!"

Si Ming squeezed out all the remaining True Qi in his body and poured it into the Wheel-Turning King Sword. Instantly, streams of water-like sword Sword Qi shot out and converged into a magnificent and elegant Shiryu.

The two swords resonated in a spiral, and the water and fire dragons in the sky also intertwined with each other. Si Ming endured the excruciating pain from the backlash of the sword moves, clasped his hands together, and guided the two swords to combine, making the two sword moves into one, evolving and transforming into an even stronger sword move.

"Yin-Yang New Moon Sky Twin Dragon Battle!"

The twin swords erupted with Sword-Ray that were both icy and sparkling with countless golden stars, bursting forth in rings of powerful and dazzling sword light that swirled around the body. The momentum was like a hurricane, with flames burning the sky and ice freezing the ground. The Sword Qi was mixed with countless brilliant starlight streams, and the continuous explosions were like thunder and lightning.

The two dragons intertwined and soared out, as if the Yin and Yang Dao had manifested, dissolving all obstacles and turning them into nothingness. The Imperial Dragon Sword Technique, breaking through its limits, carried a violent and ruthless intent of destruction. It crashed head-on into the Netherworld Insect Princess. After a slight pause, it broke through her protective Gang Qi and swallowed her trembling, pale body, disintegrating it into the smallest particles.

After the sword strike, Si Ming felt completely drained, as if Essence Blood in his body had been drained. His face looked extremely pale, and it took him a while to recover. At the same time, he used the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace to replenish his empty dantian.

"If it weren't for my Tathagata's Indestructible Body, I wouldn't dare use this move. The backlash from merging sword techniques alone would be enough to make me explode and die in my normal state."

Without lingering on his thoughts, Si Ming once again focused his attention, observing his surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.

However, after waiting for a long time, the Netherworld Insect Princess did not make a comeback.

"Did they escape? Could it be that even a rebirth cannot eliminate the side effects of Super Martial Dao?"

Although he felt this guess was the most likely, Si Ming still dared not be careless and remained on guard until Si Jingyu flew over.

"The Azure Mysterious Corpse King escaped. Before leaving, she told me that the Netherworld Insect Princess's commands were no longer effective, and she could no longer sense the Netherworld Insect Princess's presence, suggesting that she had gone quite far away."

"Is it finally over? It was such a long and arduous battle. I've never felt so tired before..."

Even when facing the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King or the Beast King Anye Unity of the Sacred and Evil, she only felt danger, not exhaustion. After all, their immortal bodies required several years to revive, unlike the Netherworld Insect Princess who could be reborn on the spot.

Si Ming let out a long breath, looked up at the rapidly dissipating dark clouds and the sun that had reappeared, and felt utterly exhausted. He hadn't felt anything during the battle, but all the accumulated fatigue came rushing back as soon as it ended.

"If you still have the strength, go and help Ying Zhou and his men intercept and kill the Beast King Anye. The Beast King Anye has sensed something is wrong and is trying to escape. With their strength, they probably can't stop him. We need your help."

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't be of any help. I'll have to ask you to protect me from now on..."

Si Jingyu sensed something was wrong and was about to reach out to check the situation when she saw the aura of Buddha around Si Ming dissipate, the Tathagata's Indestructible Body vanish, and the internal energy that had been forcibly suppressed during the battle erupt, with streams of blood mist spraying from his acupoints.

Si Ming's vision went black, and he fell from the sky.

Chapter 852 Seeking Reinforcements

When Si Ming woke up from his coma, he felt as if his body no longer belonged to him. Every part of him ached, just like a robot that had been dismantled into countless parts.

"Xiao Ming, you're awake!"

Hongdou was guarding the bedside, seemed to be staring at Si Ming the whole time. As soon as Si Ming opened his eyes, he saw her big, watery eyes. Their eyes met, and they stared blankly into space, their minds empty. They were too tired to think about anything.

Hongdou tilted her head, thought for a moment, then had a look of sudden realization. She reached up and brushed her bangs aside, then lowered her head to kiss Si Ming's lips.

However, a cold fan blocked their lips, thwarting their attempt to share their love.

"I've assigned you to take care of patients, not to find opportunities to have affairs."

Si Jingyu, standing behind, said irritably.

"Haha," Hongdou chuckled dryly, scratching the back of her head, her eyes darting around. "I was drawn in without even realizing it. How should I put it? It was beyond my control... That's right! There was an invisible force attracting me. Maybe it's some kind of gravitational pull between Xiao Ming and me, a force called fate. We're drawn to each other, and before I knew it, I was sucked in. So I'm innocent."

Si Jingyu closed her fan, tapped her forehead, and said, "Although I tried very hard to understand your way of thinking, I still can't grasp the logic in that sentence."

She reached out and grabbed Hongdou by the back of her collar, lifting her up like a cat, intending to kick her out of the door.

"No! I need to take care of Xiao Ming! Put me down! That was an uncontrollable, Anomalies event! I'm innocent!"

Hongdou struggled wildly, and as she brushed past Si Jingyu, her two unbound breasts bounced violently up and down, then coincidentally splashed all over Si Jingyu's face.

"... I never imagined that I would be humiliated in this way. It's utterly shameful!"

Si Jingyu was stunned. This was the first time in her life she had suffered such a heavy blow, and it shook her even more than when she lost to Si Huaruo.

Hongdou's flick was incredibly effective, hitting a vital point and even adding a combo attack. Even with Si Jingyu's sturdy trait, her health bar was emptied, and she could no longer maintain her composure. With a "crack," she snapped the paper fan in two.

"That was an accident, it was all beyond our control... It was fate! It was all fate's fault! So, I'm innocent!"

Hongdou tried desperately to explain, but the more she explained, the darker Si Jingyu's face became.

"Why is my face so destined to be paired with your pair of lewd bunnies? Tell me, why is that?!"

Si Jingyu grabbed Hongdou's rabbit-like breasts with her other hand and kneaded them vigorously, venting her inexplicable emotions. "Look at this naturally lewd thing, all it does is hop and jump to seduce men. You think being big makes you great? You think being bouncy and hard to hold makes you proud? You've seen the Netherworld Insect Princess's body, haven't you? As an avatar of the world's will, her physique is the perfect physique recognized by the world. Yours is nothing but Evil Dao! It's demonic! It's crooked and evil!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"You think I'd be jealous of you? No, I don't care at all, not even a nanometer of jealousy, because I am the winner, and my physique is the righteous one recognized by the will of the world!"

Seeing that Si Jingyu was about to lose her temper, Si Ming quickly said, "Calm down quickly, or your persona will be ruined!"

Si Jingyu paused for a moment, then released her grip, put Hongdou down, and produced a new fan from somewhere. She opened it, covered her mouth, and chuckled, "Oh ho ho, how strange, how did I suddenly end up in this room? Oh, Si Ming, you're awake! That's great! But I think I've lost my memory; I can't remember anything that happened just now."
