If Xue Li had gathered enough vitality and blood, or obtained the Essence Blood of the two of them, then even if they did not die, they would have been grievously wounded.
Given their current predicament, that would have been disastrous.
The situation was hardly optimistic now either. Seeing that Xue Li's Secret Technique had failed, Xue Yuan had already activated his Blood Arts and launched an attack at them.
A massive Blood Dragon swayed its head and tail as it arrived in an instant, opening its gaping bloody maw with the intent of swallowing them whole.
Lu Ye and Blood Calamity turned at the same time. One wielded a blade, the other swung a sword, their Dao Power pouring forth.
Yet even working together, they could not withstand this earth-shattering blow.
Beneath that overwhelming, irresistible force, both figures were flung backward like paper kites with severed strings.
Only now did Lu Ye truly experience the sheer might of a Half-Saint.
Though he had fought Xue Tianxing in a life-and-death battle before, the poison within Xue Tianxing had erupted from the very beginning. Then Lu Ye had ambushed him and dealt him a grievous blow, so Xue Tianxing's strength had been far from its peak.
Xue Yuan was different. He was completely uninjured, and his furious attack held nothing back. Had they not been so far away, Lu Ye reckoned that he and Blood Calamity might not have been able to block it.
Both he and Blood Calamity had been wounded in the previous battle. Though their injuries had ceased to be serious over the past half day, they had not fully recovered. With new wounds piled atop old ones, their bodies both tumbled through the air.
Fortunately, borrowing the force of that blow, they finally fell into Abyss Island.
