Chapter 483: Chapter 48: Drawing the Carved Bow Like a Full Moon!_5
Yet Prince Gao, who was still struggling.
In the rising giant flames, one could faintly see Prince Gao continuously attempting to extinguish the flames.
“Stay calm!”
Tang Ji shouted sharply and immediately flew up.
However, five Incense-burning Dao Cultivators immediately attacked him.
These men had flown over from a different city, unfamiliar with the techniques of Tang Ji and the others, and so had not joined the battle immediately.
Now, seeing Tang Ji revealing his hand, they immediately launched their attacks.
Despite his numerous techniques, Tang Ji still found himself nearly overwhelmed when suddenly confronted by five opponents.
He was forced to retreat.
Seeing this, two Shihuo Lineage Cultivators suddenly leaned toward each other, their palms meeting, their eyes simultaneously focusing on Prince Gao, who was engulfed in the flaming fires.
They spoke in unison:
“Ignite!”
The sky filled with purple flames silently erupted on Prince Gao’s body, bizarrely cold and eerie.
The prince, who had been continuously attempting to escape the flames, suddenly froze.
In his eyes, a sudden glint of unwillingness and regret flashed.
Then…
Bang——
Dots of purple flames, like brilliant stars, drifted off with the wind under the blood moon, even the blood rain unable to extinguish them…
At this moment, Tang Ji froze.
“Brother Xiang…”
“Prince!!!”
…
“The formation can’t hold much longer!”
Lin Boyue stood in front of the formation base with joy lit up on his face.
At his side, Qiao Yushan stood tense, forcing a strained smile after hearing the news.
This single day, he had experienced far too much.
So much that he was now slightly bewildered.
“Give me some more blood.”
Lin Boyue turned his gaze to the formation base and commanded.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yushan immediately became tense: “There… there isn’t any more left!”
“What?”
Lin Boyue quickly turned, his gaze sweeping across the empty white jade cup in Qiao Yushan’s hand, his eyebrows frowning:
“Where is that Incense-burning Dao Cultivator?”
“He didn’t come… and he didn’t give any more to the cultivators.”
“Hm? What is this?”
Lin Boyue suddenly noticed the blood-colored raindrops falling all around, and was startled.
Being cautious, Qiao Yushan quickly said: “Possibly, a royal has fallen…”
How immersed Lin Boyue was in breaking the formation, it took him a moment to understand what had been said, and his face instantly changed:
“Who has fallen?”
“It’s unclear, from what I heard, it seems like it was someone from the Incense-burning Dao.”
Qiao Yushan hesitated.
“It seems like…”
Lin Boyue’s eyebrows instantly furrowed.
“It is the Incense-burning Dao! That Li Xiangyun is still alive!”
Qiao Yushan hurriedly said.
Hearing this news, Lin Boyue’s face instantly darkened.
“This is bad!”
“Quickly extract the blood from the cultivators…”
“But there are no cultivators near here.”
Qiao Yushan hesitated.
“None?”
Lin Boyue’s gaze swept around him, only to discover that only Incense-burning Dao Cultivators were left. At least within his vicinity, he could see no Yan state cultivators.
His eyes narrowed slightly, as his gaze fell on Qiao Yushan.
YouShan shuddered involuntarily, “Sect Master, I… I will go capture someone!”
With that, he hastily ran out.
“Come back, Yushan.”
Lin Boyue, however, called out gently.
Yushan paused in his steps, then, looking hysterical, he fled.
Lin Boyue lightly shook his head, a mocking smile on his face:
“Tsk, tsk, why is he so guilty… is it because he’s smeared in his junior brother’s blood?”
Moving his thoughts around.
He also found that the prohibitions on Qiao YuShan’s body were starting to loosen and could not immediately take effect.
“It seems like he still isn’t reconciled to it. Well, who would be willing to be someone else’s dog? It’s a pity that this is the way of the world. If you’re incompetent, you’re bound to be someone’s dog.”
“You’re like this, and so am I.”
Lin Boyue continued shaking his head with a smile on his face.
He raised his hand lightly, placing it on the formation base, and then suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already beside another formation base.
And, it was just in the direction Qiao Yushan was fleeing.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Yushan was terrified and immediately tried to flee.
However, how could Lin Boyue give him that chance?
More than a dozen breaths later, he casually picked up Qiao Yushan, who resembled a dead man.
He aligned his gaze with Qiao Yushan’s, panting and wearing a smile:
“Heh…heh…the after-effects of ascending to the Nascent Soul are quite serious…”
As casually as someone talking about his everyday life, he murmured quietly:
“Cough… my junior brother, our friendship lasted over two hundred years. During Qi refining, he followed me, shared our master’s reprimands with me, weeded the spirit field together, basked in the sun together… He was a bit silly, which often frustrated me, sometimes to the point where I wished he was dead. But…”
“He was still my junior brother.”
“How could you bear to kill him?”
Fear filled the eyes of Qiao Yushan, who could no longer speak.
Then, he watched as his own blood was gradually drawn out, just like those cultivators who had died from having their blood drained by him, and now, it was finally his turn.
But strangely, as his consciousness began to blur, a sense of peace welled up from the deepest corner of his heart.
“Perhaps, escaping from this damned world isn’t such a bad thing?”
Not far away.
In a quiet house that had remained unharmed.
Wang Ba and Zhao Feng, who were quietly watching the scene, had solemn expressions.
“Lin Boyue has actually already reached the Nascent Soul, and he has even joined the Incense-burning Dao…”
“Princess Gao also won’t be able to hold on much longer.”
Both of them felt heavy in their hearts.
They had initially thought that Prince Gao and the others would be able to arrive in time.
However, it now appeared that not only would they not be able to wait for Prince Gao and Tang Ji, but Yanqiao Pass would likely fall as well.
