As Long as You Have One Breath Left, Don't Even Think About Dying
Why is he like this? And who is that in his arms? Huo Wu? What's going on? Tang San looked at Yu Tianshuang falling from the sky, his body covered in wounds and dried blood. The girl in his arms was none other than Huo Wu. At this moment, her face was deathly pale, and she had no life at all. He didn't know what he had gone through, but seeing him like this, Tang San was overjoyed.
"Quick... Lingling, save her..."
Having traveled swiftly from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Tianshuang was already exhausted. His Soul Power and Divine Power were completely depleted, and only a belief sustained him, preventing him from relaxing until he found Ye Lingling. Now, upon seeing the familiar figure, he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice before finally collapsing, his vision going black, and he lost consciousness.
Ye Lingling had already summoned her Martial Soul, Nine Heart Begonia, the moment Yu Tianshuang fell. Zhu Zhuqing was the fastest; the instant Yu Tianshuang collapsed, she flashed to his side and helped him up. Only then did Hu Liena and the others arrive.
"A promise from the Begonia, revived in spring, First Soul Skill: Begonia Heart Revival!"
Ye Lingling is currently a level 59 Auxiliary System weapon Soul King. The characteristics of her Martial Soul Nine Heart Begonia, mean that she currently only has two Soul Skill. The effect of her First Soul Skill is pure healing. After consuming the Immortal Herb Martial Soul and evolving it into the Undying Nine Heart Begonia, her healing ability surpasses that of all the successors of the Undying Sect.
As the Nine Heart Begonia floated above Yu Tianshuang and the other person, a healing light shone down, giving everyone time to check the situation.
"Residual lightning; both of them have a large amount of residual lightning power on them. It seems that the person who did this must be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..."
Hu Liena carefully examined their injuries with her slender, jade-like hands, her eyes filled with heartache, her heart bleeding as if it were her own. She had never seen him so disheveled since she had known him...
"Brother Tianshuang..."
Zhu Zhuqing felt the same way. Looking at Yu Tianshuang's current appearance, her two small fists were clenched tightly, and she wished she could rush to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan right now and slaughter everyone who had hurt her older brother Tianshuang.
"Phew... Yu Tianshuang, you fly incredibly fast! Even as Titled Douluo with a flying-type Martial Soul, I can't keep up with you..."
Ling Yuan Douluo, transformed into Fire Sparrow, landed on the ground. She had just opened her mouth when she noticed that everyone's emotions were not quite right. The atmosphere was very quiet and somewhat oppressive, which made her quickly stop talking.
"Senior Ling Yuan, what exactly is going on?"
As the oldest among the women present, Hu Liena suppressed her inner turmoil, stood up, and asked Ling Yuan Douluo, who had just landed. However, seeing her equally disheveled appearance, it wasn't hard to guess what had happened. The only questions were: how did Tianshuang get so badly injured? And what was Huo Wu's condition—she was practically dying...?
"Here's the thing... I never expected that old tyrant Yu Yuanzhen to be so terrifyingly strong. Luckily, Yu Luomian, who had been living in seclusion, showed up at the last minute, otherwise we might all be stuck here..."
"Yu Yuanzhen..."
After hearing Ling Yuan Douluo's words, the women present couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred for this man's name. This guy must pay the price...
"Is the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan this strong? Very good, very good. I was just worried about how to deal with the Spirit Hall's massive power. You're excellent, Yu Tianshuang, you've found me an ally right away, haha!"
Tang San was equally shocked to see Yu Tianshuang in such a wretched state. Since they met, Tang San had never been able to gain an advantage over Yu Tianshuang. Yet Yu Yuanzhen had managed to make him so miserable that he couldn't even protect the woman he loved. Haha, this is truly gratifying!
"Alright... their injuries have been healed, but they're both exhausted and need rest. A good night's sleep will do the trick..."
Ye Lingling put away her Martial Soul, looking at her beloved with incredibly complex emotions. She felt both pity for his ordeal and a touch of helplessness. It seemed that after this ordeal, Huo Wu would likely become her sister. Sigh...
As for Zhu Zhuqing, Sister Bing'er, and Yue'er, she could accept them. She had thought about leaving him, but compared to sharing him with other women, leaving him seemed even more unacceptable. As the first woman to establish a relationship with him, she could only hope that there would be fewer of her sisters in the future.
As for Hu Liena, I hadn't known her for very long. After Zhu Zhuqing and I left the Lost Track Grand Canyon, we didn't interact with her much. I just felt that she was indeed very mature and handled relationships with them better than Hu Liena herself. As for Huo Wu, to be honest, I wasn't a big fan. Firstly, she seriously injured Tianshuang during the Soul Master Tournament. Secondly, I felt her personality was too straightforward and particularly noisy. However, that wasn't too bad; after spending so much time with Yan, a fire-attribute Soul Master, I understood that most fire-attribute Soul Master were like that...
"Hey, you brat, Ling Yuan, you should go back and report to His Holiness the Pope. After this incident, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will definitely be on guard. Any future surprise attacks or strong assaults will be many times more difficult..."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked at Ling Yuan and thought about it carefully. They knew about Bibi Dong's plan. Now that things had turned out this badly with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they could no longer recruit them or simply eliminate them completely. With this precaution, they could no longer launch a surprise attack in secret.
"Alright, then be careful. I hope you complete the mission successfully. Sigh, you can't fail twice in a row, going back like that would be really difficult..."
"Huo Wu!!!"
At this moment, Yu Tianshuang, who was still unconscious, kept recalling the scene of Huo Wu smiling sadly and stretching out her hands to block him amidst the thunder and lightning. He suddenly woke up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Lingling sitting next to him.
"You, you, you wake up and call out another woman's name, I'm so jealous..."
Ye Lingling sat down on the edge of his bed with a hint of reproach, her bright silver eyes giving him a look that seemed both irritating and reproachful, but then filled with tenderness.
"Lingling, how is Huo Wu?"
Although he knew it wasn't a good time to ask about Huo Wu's condition in front of Ye Lingling, he couldn't help but worry and had no choice but to ask.
"Look, where is she? Still asleep. Don't worry, I'm here. As long as she's not dead, I can heal her. But you, can you not be so reckless next time? If things look bad, run away..."
Ye Lingling tilted her head to indicate the fiery red figure lying on the opposite bed, then took Yu Tianshuang's hand and placed it in her palm, releasing streams of Soul Power to nourish him, and said somewhat angrily.
"Indeed, I was careless this time and too confident. I never expected Yu Yuanzhen's level 96 strength to be so terrifying. I won't do that again; I'll only do things when I'm absolutely certain."
He glanced at Huo Wu opposite him and breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia Undying Sect was known for the saying, "As long as you have a breath left, don't even think about dying." But when he thought of the scene where the sky was filled with lightning dragons that pierced through his grandfather, his heart ached again.
"Hey... this isn't like you. Don't be so discouraged. After your Soul Power Level reaches 95, every level increase brings a dramatic change in strength. Besides, he's known as the number one Beast Martial Soul master on the continent. Don't be so disheartened. Think about it, how old are you? What level are you? We'll find a chance to get our revenge next time..."
Ye Lingling rarely saw the man in front of her, who used to be incredibly confident and spirited, like this. It seemed that this incident had helped him grow. However, she couldn't let him lose his edge because of this setback. Thinking of this, Ye Lingling reached out a fair, lotus-root-like arm and ruffled his azure hair, encouraging him.
"Hmm... right, I hadn't noticed, but I think I saw Tang Yin? What's he doing with you guys?"
Reaching out, Yu Tianshuang took Ye Lingling's soft hand and kneaded it in her own. Recalling a figure she had inadvertently seen earlier, she asked...
"I don't know. Sister Na said he's a friend you met in the Slaughter City. It seems he's about to break through to the Soul Emperor and came here to hunt Soul Beast. Ghost Elder and Elder Ju were interested in his Divine Power; he seems to possess a wide-range searching ability, so he came with us..."
At this moment, in the imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Yuanzhen, who had just finished a great battle, came directly to the palace to meet Xue Ye.
"What?! The Spirit Hall actually dares to do this?! This is outrageous! This is the territory of my Heaven Dou Empire! How dare they act like this?! Do they want to declare war on us and rule the entire continent?!"
After hearing Yu Yuanzhen's embellished words and the blame placed on Yu Tianshuang for Yu Luomian's death, the Emperor Snow Empress was furious. He slammed his hand on the armrest, stood up from his throne, and spoke.
"Father, please calm your anger. I think the most important thing now is to figure out the Spirit Hall's purpose and come up with a way to deal with it. This time, Sect Master Yu barely managed to repel the Spirit Hall people, but next time they will definitely be prepared, and the Spirit Hall's experts will come out in full force. We must prepare in advance."
Qian Renxue, now transformed into Xue Qinghe, was seething with hatred. She had heard about this from She Long immediately and was so anxious that she wanted to find Yu Tianshuang. But when she thought of his serious injuries and the fact that his grandfather, whom he had just reunited with, had been killed while covering his retreat, and now Yu Yuanzhen was twisting the truth and coming here to complain, Qian Renxue wished she could kill him with a single sword stroke.
However, Xue Ye's poison had not yet taken effect, so he had no choice but to speak from the perspective of the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Currently, most of the Soul Master in the several vassal states and kingdoms within our empire are also under the control of the Spirit Hall. We must plan carefully before acting and avoid directly breaking ties with the Spirit Hall."
"Your Highness is right, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask Sect Master Yu. As far as I know, Yu Tianshuang is only Soul Emperor- level Soul Master. According to you, the Spirit Hall only sent two Titled Douluo and one... Soul Emperor, right? How were they able to kill your sect's Second Sect Master in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Ning Fengzhi leaned on his cane and spoke casually, his nonchalant demeanor making his words seem as if he simply had a genuine question and had no intention of protecting anyone.
"What? Sect Master Ning, do you suspect that I, Old Dragon, am lying? My own brother's body is still warm. I know the relationship between your sect's elder and this boy. Does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect intend to protect him?"
Yu Yuanzhen has lived for so long that he is already very shrewd. When asked about Ning Fengzhi's problem, he avoided the important issues and never mentioned the problem of strength. Instead, he focused on the relationship between Sword Chen Xin and Yu Tianshuang, misleading everyone's thinking.
"Alright, Sect Master Yu is devoted to the empire. Over the years, Thunder Academy and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have produced countless outstanding Soul Master for the empire. If I do nothing, how can I face those loyal and virtuous people who are devoted to the country? And how can I face the deceased Yu Luomian?"
Xue Ye waved his hand to stop the conversation between the two sect leaders of the Upper Three Sects, and spoke directly, then continued with a piercing gaze:
"With a million soldiers at my command, how could I not protect my people, the people of Heaven Dou?"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Spirit Hall still possesses at least 20,000 powerful Soul Master and at least a dozen Titled Douluo- level experts who can be deployed. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is now in imminent danger. Your Majesty, I believe we must unite with all forces opposed to the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall to contend with them. The Clear Sky Sect has been living in seclusion because of what happened to Tang Hao. Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, am willing to go to the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect and persuade them to unite with our Heaven Dou Empire. As for the members of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, for safety's sake, I want them all to enter the capital. This will both prevent the Spirit Hall from secretly sending experts to launch a sneak attack and increase the capital's defensive strength."
Yu Yuanzhen had actually planned everything before coming to the palace, and now he was just going with the flow and expressing his thoughts.
"Sect Master Yu, the Clear Sky Sect is based in the Star Luo Empire Star Luo Empire. Are you suggesting we join forces with them? But the two empires have a long-standing feud, no less so than the conflict with the Spirit Hall. I'm afraid..."
Xue Ye sat down on his throne again, tapping his fingers on the armrest. After thinking for a while, he spoke with some worry.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. In this world, there are no eternal enemies. As long as we spread the word about what the Spirit Hall did today, the Star Luo Empire will surely feel threatened by their methods. Then, if I personally go to the Clear Sky Sect and the Star Luo Empire, the chances of us joining forces are very high. It's worth a try!"
"Excellent! Sect Master Yu, please rest assured. Under the protection of my million-strong Heaven Dou army, your clansmen will certainly not give the Spirit Hall a chance to retaliate!"
Ning Fengzhi gave this man, who was also from one of the Upper Three Sects, a deep look. To be honest, he was a generation younger than this old dragon. His understanding of him mostly came from the elders of the sect and the two enshrined elders. He had previously only thought that he was strong, able to defeat Elder Gu and fight Elder Sword to a draw during the sect competition. Now it seemed that this man was not only strong, but also incredibly shrewd. Moreover, he could make that little guy Yu Tianshuang suffer such a great loss. He was truly amazing.
