"Open!"
Lin Tang ford a hand seal, and a stream of light flashed past. The ever-active Inverted Five Elents Formation slowly opened a passage, revealing a giant cocoon inside the cave. It resembled a coconut shell magnified several tis over, and like a heart, it pulsed gently.
Yan Luoyang, who had shalessly tagged along, was inwardly ecstatic. Hahaha, Lin Tang, I bet you didn't expect this! Even though you killed , I had the chance to return. The perfect opportunity for to strike is when you're devoting all your strength to saving her!
He desperately wanted to rip open the giant cocoon and dive inside. There, he would use a secret art to completely rge with Lee Encai, using her Gu Immortal body as nourishnt to rapidly increase his own power!
Of course, on the surface, Yan Luoyang didn't forget his act. His eyes widened as he exclaid, "Master, what is this? A monster?"
"Shush! Don't talk nonsense." Gu Zicheng quickly covered his mouth. The foul stench that filled his nostrils disgusted him; the insects he used to play with looked terrifying, but they never stank. "A fairy lies within. Later, when your Uncle Lin revives her, you'll be able to behold her divine appearance. You must not be disrespectful!"
"Oh, oh." Yan Luoyang shrank back. Seeing Lin Tang glance over, he hurriedly flashed a flattering smile.
Lin Tang was preoccupied with Lee Encai and had no ti to waste on a child. He simply told them to stand further back. Then, he infused even more True Qi into the flags of the Inverted Five Elents Formation, turning its "power" to the maximum.
The next mont, Lin Tang placed one hand on the giant cocoon, cautiously injecting his Innate Nascent Soul Qi into it. In his Dantian, the tender, miniature Nascent Soul's face twisted in pain, and it suddenly grew listless.
Gu Zicheng and Yan Luoyang held their breath, staring at his poker face. They couldn't tell he was enduring imnse pain, nor could they guess how much effort it was taking him.
Ti ticked by.
Yan Luoyang grew secretly impatient. Why haven't Mu Fan and the others arrived yet? If they show up after Lin Tang has already saved her, the opportunity will be lost!
In fact, as Yan Renjie and the others grew more attuned to their sword seeds, the power they drew from them had also risen dramatically. With the sword seeds, they could fly at speeds far exceeding a helicopter. It wouldn't take them long to reach here from the valley where they were hiding.
Lin Tang remained motionless, like a stone sculpture. After an initial probe confird that the process was greatly benefiting Lee Encai without causing any harm, he continued to transfer his Innate Nascent Soul Qi without reservation.
An unknown amount of ti passed before his expression suddenly brightened. He clearly sensed that Lee Encai, once withered and weak, was beginning to show faint signs of life, like a newborn sprout. Her eyelids and lashes began to tremble lightly, as if she were about to awaken.
"Excellent! It's working!"
Lin Tang was completely reassured. As he continued the process, he tried to communicate with her. "Encai, Encai, can you hear ? Wake up, please wake up. It's , your darling husband, Lin Tang..."
Lee Encai's eyes fluttered open dazedly, peering through a mass of transparent, egg-white-like liquid. She looked toward Lin Tang, and even through the thick cocoon, it seed she could see him. Their gazes t, a single glance spanning what felt like ten thousand years.
"I'm sorry, Encai," Lin Tang said, full of sha. "I'm only just now saving you..."
Lee Encai gently shook her head, a smile gracing her lips as she opened her mouth to speak.
"GURGLE, GURGLE, GURGLE..." All that ca out was the sound of soone choking on water, and she even let out a string of bubbles.
Lee Encai: "..."
It wasn't uncomfortable, and she didn't need to breathe, so she wasn't suffocating. Still, it was rather embarrassing and awkward.
Seeing her mortified expression, Lin Tang couldn't help but chuckle. He was about to comfort her when...
"Lin Tang, die!"
Yan Renjie's group of four roared in unison. At the sa ti, a forty-ter-long phantom sword chopped down fiercely! This was a grand technique they had developed by combining their four swords, and its power was formidable. The Five Elents Inverted Formation collided with it, erupting in a burst of five-colored light—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—and causing violent vibrations.
"PFFT—" Lee Encai spat out a few more bubbles, followed by blindingly red blood. Her expression was one of agony. The faint life force that had just re-erged flickered like a candle in the wind, rapidly shrinking as if about to be extinguished.
"Bastards!"
Lin Tang was incandescent with rage. He hurriedly increased the flow of Innate Nascent Soul Qi while covering the entire cocoon with his True Qi for protection. His bloodshot eyes looked as if they could shoot flas as he glared fiercely at Gu Zicheng. You damn traitor! If you hadn't secretly tipped them off, how could Yan Renjie and his group have arrived at such a perfect mont?
Gu Zicheng was bewildered. I've been frad!
He was about to kneel and explain when he was caught completely off guard. He never expected that the little apprentice he was so pleased with would suddenly strike. A fierce grab seized him with unbearable power.
"Ah, you—!" Gu Zicheng's filthy body was thrown toward Lin Tang. He scread, twisting his head back to stare at Yan Luoyang in utter disbelief.
Yan Luoyang laughed maniacally as his body swelled, transforming into a figure over three ters tall. No, not a giant, but... a giant insect! After receiving the baptism of the ancient god, he could now transform.
At this mont, his head resembled that of a fly, packed with a dense mass of compound eyes, long antennae, and sharp, serrated mandibles. His hands had beco claws. His legs were elongated and filled with spring-like power. His body hair had turned into sharp, sticky hooks. Transparent, blade-edged wings had even sprouted from under his arms, their sharpness on full display.
KHEH KHEH KHEH...
Yan Luoyang reveled in the multiplied power of his transformation, feeling imnsely pleased. Although the transformation ca with annoying, maddening whispers, it was still within the limits of his endurance.
You filthy thing, who do you think you are to be worthy of calling you Master? Go on and be a good little human bomb for !
