I Only Seize the Day

Chapter 46: I Only Seize the Day

This...

For a fleeting moment, Ji Liushuang almost couldn't help but rush forward with them.

However, a voice in her mind made her restrain her impulse.

"Do you know what Dragon Saliva Incense is... it's best not to do things you don't understand."

Fu Qian's words echoed in Ji Liushuang's heart, causing her to hesitate for a moment as she watched everyone charge towards the blood pool.

The next moment, she was incredibly grateful for that sliver of hesitation.

Leading the charge were Huang Zhaoyan and Yuan Xin, the strongest among them. Huang Zhaoyan, having sustained the lightest injuries, leaped almost as high as Fu Qian, directly towards the center of the pool.

But as he reached mid-air, a rotating tentacle shot out from the foul, putrid liquid surrounding the blood pool.

Ah!

With a scream, Huang Zhaoyan was unable to dodge and was impaled through his calf by the tentacle.

The tentacle retracted the next moment, dragging Huang Zhaoyan down into the corrupted liquid.

Seeing this, Yuan Xin, who was right behind him, was greatly alarmed. He hesitated whether to advance or retreat, only to find two tentacles shooting towards him the next moment.

Dodging the tentacles with all his might, Yuan Xin lost his balance and half his body fell into the pool.

The blood pool wasn't deep. Yuan Xin used his hands to push himself up, but found that countless tendrils within the liquid were holding his body fast, preventing him from moving.

The three people behind them, who had been wading through the water, froze for a moment. The next moment, they frantically tried to retreat, only to find they could no longer move.

In an instant, all five were trapped.

"Save me!"

Yuan Xin, lying on the edge of the blood pool, looked desperately at Ji Liushuang, who was still on the shore.

He could already feel his wound rapidly losing sensation, the fear of death quickly enveloping his heart. In his peripheral vision, Huang Zhaoyan had already been completely submerged by the liquid.

Witnessing the tragic scene before her, Ji Liushuang, having narrowly escaped danger, felt her legs go weak and her heart pound wildly.

She couldn't help but look back at Fu Qian in the blood pool.

He was hinting at me just now!

He had planned everything, even anticipating this scenario!

Everyone's reaction was within his expectations!

People in the pool began to fall one after another. Hearing their wails, Ji Liushuang felt unbearable pity and wanted to save them.

"Things you don't understand, you shouldn't do."

Fu Qian's words resurfaced in her mind, and in the end, she could only turn her head away.

Fu Qian, in the blood pool, glanced at them once and then looked away.

He felt no sympathy for this group of people.

Idiots are beyond saving!

It's true that people have a survival instinct, and it's understandable to do anything to survive, but that doesn't mean you can do it without thinking.

Not understanding the true logic and only blindly imitating is like gambling with your own life.

Why would you assume that since these things outside don't react to me, they definitely won't attack you?

At this point, he had already used Internal Organ Critical Hit on Feng Yunhong three times, causing him to bleed profusely.

However, this only slowed down Feng Yunhong's recovery speed.

The facts proved he was right; as long as he was in here, his health bar was infinite.

Die!

By now, Feng Yunhong had gradually regained his ability to move, and his counterattack followed.

He squeezed Fu Qian's neck with all his might. Fu Qian felt a crisp crack, his neck bones a mess.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the surging blood and qi within his body repaired the bones.

Too bad, it seems I also have an infinite health bar.

This feeling is truly magical!

However, Feng Yunhong's absorption speed was still clearly far greater than his own. This wouldn't do.

Fu Qian thought for a moment, and for his fourth Internal Organ Critical Hit, he changed direction and struck himself.

Boom!

He felt his body hollowed out.

An indescribable pain surged through him, and Fu Qian's movements faltered.

Feng Yunhong froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You want to end it all because you're afraid of torture? You're dreaming! Now, you can't even die if you want to!"

"You know nothing."

Fu Qian snorted.

"This is called 'Low Health, Bursting Power Kill'—"

The next moment, the massive wounds on his body tore open wildly, forming a true maw.

This scene felt familiar!

Fu Qian mused, then swallowed his surroundings in a single gulp.

About half of the surrounding blood vanished instantly.

"You're insane!"

Feng Yunhong was both shocked and furious.

"You won't be able to digest any of that! You'll just explode and die. It won't be long before you're finished!"

"You don't need to tell me, I can already feel it."

Fu Qian gritted his teeth.

Unlike before, when he absorbed through his wounds, this time he swallowed it directly. His body was instantly flooded with chaotic qi and blood, and countless noises filled his mind.

"But that doesn't matter..."

He forced a smile at Feng Yunhong.

To defeat a stronger opponent when you are weaker, you need to skillfully utilize any advantage you have.

For example, the phrase "in a short while"—

It means nothing to me!

I don't care at all what happens to me later.

But you do!

Enduring the pain of his body threatening to explode, under Feng Yunhong's terrified gaze, Fu Qian swallowed another large mouthful of fresh blood.

His hands weren't idle either, as Fu Qian landed another Internal Organ Critical Hit on him.

As one waned, the other waxed. Feng Yunhong's condition rapidly deteriorated.

"You... lunatic!"

Finally, amidst Feng Yunhong's despairing curses, Fu Qian delivered a final Internal Organ Critical Hit, forcing him back into his blood form.

No—

Feng Yunhong only managed half a cry before Fu Qian swallowed him whole.

It was over.

Fu Qian slumped to the ground. The remaining small amount of blood continuously flowed into his body, mending his wounds, even repairing his severed arm and broken fingers.

Of course, this was only on the surface. The chaotic qi and blood within him were almost out of control, relying entirely on instinct to surge and clash. It felt like his body was expanding, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

But it was enough.

Even though his insides were a mess, Fu Qian could feel his condition was more exaggerated than ever before. In terms of sheer life force, he was stronger than Li Weixuan had been before.

He could even feel his very existence being rejected, the space around him becoming viscous.

As expected, power built purely on qi and blood had surpassed the limits of the Furnace.

Next, he just needed to reach the barrier to prove whether his approach was correct.

With extreme uncoordination in all parts of his body, Fu Qian struggled to his feet.

Hahaha!

Just as he was about to leave, a voice erupted in laughter beside his ear.

Yes, right beside his ear.

Fu Qian could clearly feel a mouth had grown below his left ear, emitting Feng Yunhong's voice.

"You lunatic, you'll never be able to destroy me!"

"I just need to wait for you to explode and die, and then repeat the process of rebirth. Soon, you'll be utterly annihilated!"

It wasn't just him; dozens of manic laughs echoed from all over his body.

Some were male, some female—they must be the Transcendent beings Feng Yunhong had devoured.

His act of swallowing them whole seemed to have improved their state as well.

It seems that existing in this form for too long really does affect one's mind!

"Alright, I get it. You don't need to say it so many times."

Fu Qian said weakly.

"What if I walk out of the barrier during that time?"

In an instant, both Feng Yunhong and the voice in his mind fell silent.

"We'll perish together, won't we?"

Fu Qian walked along, chuckling.

"That would be truly wonderful!"
