Xiao Heng lay on the water's surface, all energy fluctuations around him completely withdrawn. More accurately, his energy had been utterly exhausted—his Dou Qi, soul energy, and even his bloodline power had all been overdrawn.
Blood dripped onto the water. Xiao Heng was surrounded by an aura of deathly stillness. After a long while, the medicinal power of the Ninth-grade Pill finally stopped his blood from continuing to flow, but it had already dyed his body red. That deathly power filled his entire body; even the medicinal power of a Ninth-grade Pill could not dispel it.
Xiao Heng's current condition was a complete mess. If anything unexpected happened now, he really could only die first.
Still, if nothing else happened, he could slowly recover with the Five Elements Physique. Once he regained even a little Dou Qi, things would become much easier.
Xiao Heng closed his eyes. The Five Elements Physique and the pill's energy slowly restored his body and soul power. The speed was rather slow, but only he could recover gradually after suffering such severe injuries. An ordinary Three-star Dou Sheng would have long since died. Of course, an ordinary Three-star Dou Sheng would never have been able to beat Netherworld Profound Water, at the peak of Five-star Dou Sheng, back into its original form.
Speaking of which, Xiao Heng's victory this time had involved a great deal of luck. Leaving everything else aside, Heaven-Sundering Sword had been nurtured for a long time, yet that single strike had drained it completely. It would likely take a long time before it could reach that level of power again. It could not be replicated.
In this battle, Xiao Heng had exhausted every trump card and won miserably. Still, if his opponent had been a person, he probably would have won
