Immediately afterward, Zhu Zhuqing's Fifth Soul Ring lit up, a flash of red light, and Zhu Zhuqing vanished into thin air. When she reappeared, she was already behind the two-headed Evil Soul Master. Her ice-blue claws became extremely long, like sharp blades, silently stabbing towards the opponent's back. The chilling cold air instantly Ice Seal the opponent. Then, with a flick of her wrist, Zhu Zhuqing's hands shot out simultaneously, the claws slicing across the two-headed Evil Soul Master's throat, severing the ugly head. Then, Ice Seal by the cold air, it was directly shattered by Zhu Zhuqing.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was calm, showing little surprise or relief, as if she had merely accomplished something insignificant. But Xie Yue behind her was stunned. He and Yan were both exhausted and in grave danger, yet this junior sister Zhu Zhuqing had killed these two Evil Soul Master in a single exchange? This... this was simply too outrageous!
"Senior Xie Yue, are you alright?"
Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Xie Yue, who was covered in wounds, and asked politely.
After Zhu Zhuqing switched places with him, Xie Yue finally came to his senses and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with some surprise, saying, "I, I'm fine, Junior Sister Zhu Zhuqing, what about your Fifth Soul Ring?"
"I've had some opportunities recently, and my Soul Power has now reached the Soul King. I've also absorbed a 100,000- Soul Ring," Zhu Zhuqing explained calmly.
Hearing this, Xie Yue was once again shocked. What kind of opportunity could allow someone to break through from Soul Ancestor to Soul King in such a short time? And even possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast offering itself as a sacrifice!
"Junior Zhu Zhuqing, are you...?"
"Senior Xie Yue, this is my secret, please don't ask any further questions."
Xie Yue was about to confirm whether what he thought was true when Zhu Zhuqing interrupted him. However, since Zhu Zhuqing had already said so, he didn't need to ask any more questions, after all, she was still his savior.
" Zhu Zhuqing, for saving us. Otherwise, we might have really died here today. I will always remember this life-saving grace."
Xie Yue bowed to Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing did not refuse, but slowly said:
"Senior Xie Yue, you're too kind. We're classmates, so helping each other is only natural. I just hope that when you return to the Xie Yue Spirit Hall, you can temporarily keep my breakthrough a secret. I'll give our teacher a surprise then."
"Okay, I've got it." Xie Yue nodded, agreeing to Zhu Zhuqing's request.
Then he turned and ran towards Yan. Just now, Yan had burned his own body, trying to use his own life to buy Xie Yue a chance to live. This brotherly affection completely moved Xie Yue.
But when he returned to Yan's side, he discovered that Yan's injuries were far more severe than he had imagined. Although his Life was not in danger, his entire body was riddled with burns from the flames, and even his facial features were...
He was consumed by flames. He even felt that even if he treated Yan now, the final result would still be a tragedy.
Seeing this scene broke his heart; his eyes were filled with pain. Yan had been injured because of him; how could he not be heartbroken?
"Don't worry, I won't let him die."
The hoarse voice reached Xie Yue's ears again. He looked at the man in red, who was continuously channeling his Soul Power into Yan's body, presumably to heal him.
"You recover on your own first. I'll take him somewhere to treat him." With that, Jun Yi flicked his fingers, and Yan's figure disappeared, followed by the figure of the man in red.
Seeing this, Xie Yue's face showed a hint of panic. At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up, "Senior Xie Yue, there's no need to worry. Senior Yan will be in no danger."
"Hmm." All he could do now was pray that the man in red could save Yan; he didn't want to lose his good brother.
Meanwhile, Jun Yi brought Yan to a hidden spot. Looking at Yan, whose body was burned to a crisp, Jun Yi sighed and said to him, "If I hadn't heard what you said today, I might have really let him die. You're really lucky. If it were anyone else, even if they saved you, you would have been stuck with this face for the rest of your life."
After saying that, Jun Yi took out a simple-looking fairy herb from the System Space. It was made up of red grass Immortal Herb, with the top of the leaves resembling a rooster's comb, swaying slightly in the wind.
Jun Yi then chopped it into powder with his fingers, controlled the energy in his palm, and then transferred it into Yan's body. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower has an ability that no one knows about: it can bring the dying back to life. Jun Yi learned this from the " Record of a Hundred Herbs " given to him by the system, so Jun Yi chose to use it to save Yan.
Jun Yi initially had a very bad impression of Yan. In the original work, Yan was a person who liked to show off, not only arrogant but also conceited. However, the things Yan said when he fought the Evil Soul Master today changed Jun Yi's opinion of him. He did not expect that Yan actually took the responsibilities of the Spirit Hall to heart.
He was truly willing to sacrifice himself to fight the Evil Soul Master, a spirit that filled Jun Yi with awe. Willing to give up his life for his friend, Jun Yi couldn't help but feel admiration as Yan transformed into a raging flame and charged towards the Evil Soul Master. Unlike those good brothers who always say they'd sacrifice everything for you, Yan genuinely chose to give his Life for his brother at a crucial moment—a quality that surpassed most "brotherhood" in its entirety. Therefore, in that instant, he decided to help Yan.
"Buzz--" The fragrance of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower spread out, turning into a light mist that flowed into Yan's nostrils, causing his body to tremble slightly, and golden flames began to rise from his body.
As the golden light appeared, Yan, who had been on the verge of death and on the verge of perishing, began to regain his vitality. His skin, which had been burned by the flames, gradually recovered, and his withered skin became plump again. The black ash on his body quickly fell off, revealing fair and delicate skin. His burned chest miraculously healed, and in a short time, all his external wounds disappeared without a trace. Then came the process of absorbing the medicinal power. The remaining medicinal power might not raise his level by much, but it could enhance his talent to a certain extent.
However, as Jun Yi looked at Yan's truly ordinary, unremarkable face, he sighed and said, "Since I've done a good deed to the end, I might as well see this through to the end. You'd better thank me properly when you wake up."
After saying that, Jun Yi placed his hand on Yan's face, and Yan's features began to gradually change...
