Chapter 86
Ye Shaoyang continuously intoned the Maoshan Soul Breaking chant . Bit by bit, he released his blood into Xie Yuqing’s body . In a short moment, his blood ran through the blood vessels of her entire body, except her heart channel, where Feng Xinyu’s soul defensively stood guard . Feng Xinyu defended her place in Xie Yuqing’s heart channel to the death . She would not give up easily . Two powerful energies fought inside Xie Yuqing’s body . There was only one difference—Feng Xinyu was consuming her cultivation, while Ye Shaoyang was expending his Heavenly Master blood .
Although Ye Shaoyang’s body turned colder and the urge to faint grew stronger, he did not stop instilling his blood into Xie Yuqing’s body . Deep inside his mind, Feng Xinyu’s voice resounded; hatred and astonishment filled it, “Don\'t tell me you are willing to sacrifice yourself for her?”
“Since I\'m inside, I will rescue her no matter what . Unless you have a way to kill me, I will fight till the end . It is useless for you to say all this,” replied Ye Shaoyang with his conscious .
Even though Feng Xinyu had pushed Xie Yuqing’s soul into a corner, which made her lose control over her body, she could still witness everything that happened around her . She felt very touched when she saw the way Ye Shaoyang treated her . She cried, “Shaoyang, I know I will die soon, so don\'t bother about me . Just leave me and take revenge for me in the future… . ”
“Shut up . I said I will save you . I will keep my promise . ”
With the continuous pressure from the blood of a Heavenly Master, Feng Xinyu could not hold on any longer . She reluctantly said, “Ye Shaoyang, do you love her so much that you can sacrifice your life for her? Is it really worth it?”
“What does it have to do with you?! Anyhow, I don\'t like you . ”
As Ye Shaoyang spoke these words, he instilled more blood into Xie Yuqing’s veins . He disregarded Xie Yuqing’s pleas and begs . Feng Xinyu screamed in despair . Ye Shaoyang had overpowered her, and the Heavenly Master\'s blood expelled her from Xie Yuqing’s body . The blood vigorously burned away Feng Xinyu’s cultivation . Ye Shaoyang immediately activated the Maoshan Soul quelling chant and trapped her in his palm . Then Ye Shaoyang quickly drew a Heart-warming Talisman paper and stuck it onto Xie Yuqing’s nape . Since Xie Yuqing’s soul returned to the rightful place in her body, so she woke up . She felt weak, as she muttered to herself, “I’m so cold… . ”
Due to the heavy blood loss, Ye Shaoyang felt very weak . Despite this, he gritted his teeth and carried Xie Yuqing in his embrace and walked out . Xie Yuqing buried her head against his chest; she could hear the sound of his heartbeat . She felt warm inside, even though she felt freezing pain outside .
“Shaoyang, Ye Shaoyang,” she said weakly, “I’m going to die . ”
“You won’t die if I am here . ” Ye Shaoyang was suffering greatly too . He tried his best to give Xie Yuqing a warm-hearted smile, as he carried her and walked with difficulty toward the exit . Both of his legs had stiffened .
“Why do you want to save me?” Xie Yuqing muttered .
“No particular reason; you’re my friend . I can’t let you die in front of me . ”
As these words left his mouth, the Dharma staff rang out once more . He felt warm; the eight paths circulated once more . He let out a sigh of relief . He could bear anything other than that freezing cold and that raging inferno . Suddenly, wails and howls burst out, echoing around Ye Shaoyang . Thousands of greyish-black shadows flooded the path .
Ye Shaoyang felt startled, What rotten luck . This cycle was in the Jingmen . Many spirits that died an unjust death many years ago appeared in the path . Due to the power of the formation, the Bamen path attracted them to the Jingmen . These spirits could not reincarnate . As such, they were filled with resentment . Not only that, the formation could not destroy them . Instead, it would increase their cultivation .
Each and every spirit projected their hatred and resentment onto these two strangers that stood before them . Only one thought burned in their minds—to tear these two strangers apart .
Ye Shaoyang held Xie Yuqing with one hand, as he used his other hand to draw out the Qixing Dragon Sword . He bit down on his tongue tip and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the weapon . Then, he chopped those awakened spirits that aggressively approached him . He destroyed multiple awakened spirits in this manner . For a moment, pathetic cries echoed through the formation and countless primordial spirits scattered through the air . However, there were just too many awakened spirits . Ye Shaoyang had no time to rest . Once he killed a hoard of them, another group of spirits would take their place .
Xie Yuqing felt hopeless . She looked at the crowd of spirits in front of her . Then, she weakly said, “Shaoyang, you’ll make it if you leave me here . Just go; save yourself… . ”
“Nothing bad will happen as long as I’m here . ” Ye Shaoyang sheathed the sword . Then, he threw out a handful of copper beads that scattered over the spirits . The spirits he struck instantly emitted smoke . They let out awful screams, but they quickly surrounded Ye Shaoyang again .
From outside the formation, Old Guo wondered why Ye Shaoyang gave up on using the Qixing Dragon Sword and changed to copper beads . The copper beads had a lower damage output, and Ye Shaoyang had not reached the limits of his power . At this moment, Ye Shaoyang chanted, “In the name of the Lord Laozi, pass down the divine heavenly might and transform these cast beads into soldiers!”
In a split second, all the copper beads exploded like small bombs one by one . It was like they had received the order . The shattered copper beads bombarded the hoard of awakened spirits around them, and the spirits dispersed into wisps of smoke .
Old Guo felt stunned . Even for a Heavenly Master, the Maoshan spell that morphed copper beads into soldiers had a high-level of difficulty . Old Guo’s respect toward Ye Shaoyang grew . This young man could still cast this spell despite the amount of power he had depleted after he fought Feng Xinyu and the other powerful spirits . The divine power of Ye Shaoyang’s spell allowed him to finally clear a path out . He did not wait for the spirits to come close again; he immediately pulled out the Qixing Dragon Sword and rushed out .
“What are you waiting for? Go in and help him!” Rui Lengyu finally regained her composure . She sprung forward, as she wielded her Soul Rending Staff to smash apart a few awakened spirits . Old Guo also drew his peach wood sword and charged the spirits . Xiao Ma supported them from behind with the cinnabar gun . Qin Feng held his position and fought the awakened spirits in the three paths of life .
Rui Lengyu looked up and saw Ye Shaoyang . He carried Xie Yuqing with one hand and killed awakened spirits with the other . Although he staggered to his feet and almost collapsed, Rui Lengyu could see an unwavering determination and resolute confidence in his eyes . For a slight moment, Rui Lengyu even wished she was the one that laid in Ye Shaoyang\'s arms .
Xie Yuqing could feel Ye Shaoyang\'s breath become shorter, as his speed fell . She knew that he was going to consume all his strength . Again, she tried to persuade him, “Shaoyang, put me down . Don’t die with me here . I . . . can’t make it . ”
“You can’t die now . I still haven’t had your big meat buns . ” Ye Shaoyang looked down and stuck out his tongue at her .
Xie Yuqing started to lose her consciousness . She felt like death had approached her . She knew that did not have much time left, so she wanted to confess to Ye Shaoyang before it was too late . She drew herself up and weakly said, “Actually, you are a good person . . . and a good looking guy . ”
“Thank you for your compliment . ” Her words encouraged him . He flipped his hair and continued to kill the spirits .
She gulped and made up her mind . She said, “I’m very happy that you are willing to risk your life to save me, even though we barely know each other . I feel that I… . ”
“What?” When Ye Shaoyang looked down at her, she had already fainted .
Ye Shaoyang exerted all his might and finally fought his way out . He met up with Rui Lengyu .
Rui Lengyu said, “I will cover for you . You’d better go out first . ”
Ye Shaoyang sped out of the formation; he did not even reply to her . Xiao Ma rushed over and helped Ye Shaoyang carry Xie Yuqing . Then, he carefully placed her on the ground . Xiao Ma turned around and looked at him with teary eyes, “Little Ye, how are you?” Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath . His legs gave in, and he collapsed . However, Xiao Ma quickly supported him . He smiled at Xiao Ma and said, “I will give a big slap to anyone who tells me that the North Pole is the coldest place, and the equator is the hottest place . ”
