"Die!"
Hellekamp's roars continued, sounding as if he had gained the upper hand and was pinning Li Xuanyuan to the ground and beating him.
But the reality was quite the opposite; Li Xuanyuan rode on Hellekamp's back and swung the gourd wildly, smashing it repeatedly.
Li Xuanyuan was truly enraged. If he had arrived even a second later, Xia Ling would have been beaten to death.
Faced with this inhuman creature, Li Xuanyuan was so angry that he didn't even want to use martial arts anymore, and directly smashed it with his gourd.
"Damn it! Damn it! Aaaaaah!"
Hellekamp roared furiously, and an extremely powerful surge of energy erupted from his body.
He was burning his cultivation level in exchange for a chance to launch a counterattack from a desperate situation.
Burning cultivation points is equivalent to permanently reducing the cultivation point cap.
If you're lucky, you can start over and improve again; if you're unlucky, you might never be able to improve again in your entire life.
This is a method that damages the foundation, but it is very useful in many situations.
If you lose your life, what's the point of having a solid foundation?
"Not good!"
Seeing Hellekamp risking his life, Li Xuanyuan immediately became vigilant.
The opponent's strength is at least doubled in this state, and a rash attack would easily lead to defeat.
The best approach is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
Because with every second that passes, the opponent's strength weakens by one point.
"Die, all of you!"
Hellekamp roared, gathering all his strength for a final, powerful strike.
Li Xuanyuan is too strong; even burning my cultivation level wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
Therefore, Hellekamp set his sights on Xia Ling.
He knew Li Xuanyuan would definitely come to his rescue, and whether he hit Li Xuanyuan or Xia Ling, it seemed worth it for Hellekamp.
Hellekamp was so fast that Li Xuanyuan didn't even have time to get back to Xia Ling's side.
The Guardian Spirit's life essence resides within the Spirit Host, thus enabling it to rapidly transfer energy back to protect the Spirit Host.
This is also why Guardian Spirit rarely attack their Spirit Host directly in battle!
However, when the attack exceeds the protection limit, the fragile Spirit Host will be damaged.
Hellekamp's decisive blow exceeded that limit.
Unless Li Xuanyuan can return, Xia Ling is doomed.
"Run!"
Seeing the scene before her and witnessing the incoming attack, Xia Ling was completely stunned.
She's just an ordinary person; it's already quite remarkable that she can accept such absurd things as Spirit Host and Guardian Spirit. How could she calmly evade attacks from a powerful enemy?
How could that be!
"The opportunity has arrived!"
Xia Ling was definitely going to be saved, not because she coveted her beauty, nor to gain favor, but for the sake of the Spirit Locust Tree.
Xia Ling was positioned right between Hellekamp and the Spirit Locust Tree. As long as she dodged, Hellekamp's attacks would land on the Spirit Locust Tree.
Xu Long did not intend to seize the Four Divine Trees by force, but that did not mean he was not interested.
Following the plot's development and taking advantage of the situation—that's the right way to go.
Since the Spirit Locust Tree will be destroyed according to the plot anyway, we might as well do something to help it.
Rumble!
Hellekamp's fatal blow grazed past Xia Ling's body. Thanks to the protection of Li Xuanyuan's energy, Xia Ling was not injured, but her clothes were torn in the front.
However, Xu Long didn't have time to look at what he should be looking at; instead, he put on a look of being still in shock.
Smoke and dust filled the sky, and pebbles flew everywhere; the place where the Spirit Locust Tree stood had become a large crater.
Of course, the Spirit Locust Tree was not destroyed. Just as Hellekamp's attack was about to hit, Xu Long had already put the Spirit Locust Tree away.
"Perfect!"
Xu Long praised her in his heart and quickly inquired about Xia Ling's condition.
Are you alright?
"No... it's nothing..."
Xia Ling trembled, her body shaking like a leaf, her breasts quivering wildly.
It has to be said that Xia Ling has a really great figure.
Since it was obtained by trading one's brains, it's bound to be big and round.
"Xia... Xia Ling..."
Li Xuanyuan swallowed hard, stammering, unsure of what to say.
Cao Xuanliang, on the other hand, was already bleeding from his nose.
"Ah!"
Seeing the two people's appearance, Xia Ling finally realized what was happening.
She let out a scream and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Ahem, let's cover ourselves up with clothes conjured from spiritual energy first!"
Li Xuanyuan coughed twice, and his torn clothes were quickly restored.
"Tell me, what did you all see?"
Xia Ling was furious. She grabbed Cao Xuanliang's ear and asked angrily.
"Uh, actually I didn't see a 36D, nor did I see the areola, nor did I see... Ah... It hurts so much..."
Cao Xuanliang screamed in agony, recalling the scene from just now, and blood gushed from his nose again.
"Ah, this is youth, recklessly splashing hormones."
Xu Long sighed; he saw things most clearly and remained the most composed.
He's a man of experience, not some pushover like Cao Xuanliang.
After Xia Ling got dressed, everyone was finally in the mood to deal with the aftermath.
Hellekamp burned his cultivation to unleash a fatal blow, but he himself was not far from death.
The human-dog unity was forcibly terminated, and both the human and the dog lay on the ground, incapacitated.
"Wait, where's the Spirit Locust Tree?"
Everyone was stunned by the mess around them.
No one cares whether Hellekamp lives or dies, but how can the Spirit Locust Tree be gone?
The Four Divine Trees guard the four directions, forming a cycle that provides energy for the Xihe Divine Pearl, thus stabilizing the barrier of Rakshasa Street.
"This... Xia Ling was pulled away just now... Hellekamp's attack hit the Spirit Locust Tree..."
Cao Xuanliang muttered something, and everyone immediately turned their attention to Hellekamp.
This thing was lying on the ground, unable to move, and would twitch every few seconds.
Clearly, without help, he wouldn't survive the day.
"Indeed, men shouldn't be too vigorous sometimes, or they might die suddenly."
Xu Long was overjoyed. He had the Spirit Locust Tree in his hands, and the spiritual energy inside would be enough for him to use for a long time.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to hold out until the Late Body Integration Stage, and might even have a chance to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
This is a huge problem!
Cao Xuanliang was in a dilemma. Although Hellekamp was the one who broke the Spirit Locust Tree, he also bore some responsibility.
Just as everyone was at a loss, not knowing what to do, Huangfu Doulong, disguised as Ghost Talisman Santong, appeared.
"Leave this to me!"
Huangfu Doulong glanced at everyone, and when he saw Xu Long, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"What's going on? Did they discover something's wrong with me?"
Although Huangfu Doulong's face was covered by a mask, Xu Long still noticed the change in his expression.
This time, the Main God didn't replace his role, but instead gave him the identity of an ordinary person.
Under such circumstances, it's normal for a powerful figure like Huangfu Doulong to notice something amiss.
Huangfu Doulong was known as the strongest Rakshasa Street of the previous generation.
He is very powerful, and his Guardian Spirit is the legendary Divine Martial Spirit Xingtian.
