Han Li’s mouth overflowed with a trace of fresh blood. Although his face was haggard, his eyes were full of madness, "Yue Qian Mountain, I don’t deny that you are the most monstrous genius in the history of the Gu Sect."
"But you don’t know the foundation of my Life-Seeking Sect."
"Yes, your Soul-Devouring Powder is indeed powerful, capable of rendering people motionless, turning them into lambs to be slaughtered."
"But, we in the Life-Seeking Sect also have the Blood Ignition Technique!"
With these words,
many of the elderly in the Life-Seeking Sect were taken aback.
The Blood Ignition Technique,
an extrely defying ability that can only be used once.
Once unleashed, one’s strength instantly doubles, thus playing a role in turning the tide.
However,
this move can only be perford once by each person, as shortly after use, the ridians will sever, and the five viscera will wither, leading to death.
People did not expect Han Li to actually use the Blood Ignition Technique.
Nor did they expect, he would stab the knife into Yue Qian Mountain’s body.
Yue Qian Mountain was furious, "You burned your own Essence Blood to break the influence of the Soul-Devouring Powder, just to kill ?"
"No!"
"I don’t understand!"
"I clearly helped you eliminate Xu Wendong, helped you take that position. Why do you want to turn around and kill ?"
Han Li directly pulled the long knife from Yue Qian Mountain’s body, looking at Xu Wendong with complex eyes, "I indeed wanted to kill him to take that position because everything I have done in this life is for that position, even if it ans defying the rules of the Life-Seeking Sect."
"But, I won’t allow you to kill Xu Wendong."
"Yes, he can die at anyone’s hands."
"Except for yours!"
Yue Qian Mountain spat out a mouthful of blood, weakly asking, "Why?"
Han Li: "I can betray the Life-Seeking Sect because the things I’ve done are all for revitalizing the Life-Seeking Sect, a fact evident as the sun and moon."
"Even if I die, I am not ashad before the ancestors of the Life-Seeking Sect."
"But..."
"As a man, there are things one should do and things one should not do!"
"I cannot betray our nation!" Saying this, he once more raised the steel knife in his hand, moving with weak steps to kill Yue Qian Mountain.
Witnessing this scene,
everyone was moved.
Even Qin Feng, Mo Yuan, and others looked at Han Li with respect.
Perhaps they had previously seen Han Li as a traitor, wanting to get rid of him quickly.
But truth be told,
he was indeed admirable in the face of the great righteousness of the nation.
Han Li’s eyes were bloodshot, "Yue Qian Mountain, you betrayed your master for glory, becoming the greatest disgrace in the history of The Outer Eight Sects. Today, I will cleanse the portal for The Outer Eight Sects and kill you, the traitor!"
With that said, he suddenly accelerated, charging with an unstoppable montum.
Though Yue Qian Mountain was severely injured, he was, after all, a Grandmaster-level Expert.
They say a thin cal is still larger than a horse.
Even facing Han Li’s deadly strike, he calmly dodged it, then landed a palm on the other’s chest.
Thud!
With a dull sound,
the steel knife in Han Li’s hand fell to the ground, producing a clang.
And he himself was like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth.
Although he did not die on the spot,
all his internal organs were severely damaged, his life hanging by a thread.
Yue Qian Mountain grinned maliciously, "Even Xu Wendong couldn’t kill , and you dare think you can? You’re not worthy!"
"Who says I can’t kill you?" Xu Wendong rasped, for when Han Li stabbed Yue Qian Mountain, Xu Wendong felt a flicker of sensation returning to his body.
Then, he bit the tip of his tongue, using the pain’s help to seize control of his body.
Before Yue Qian Mountain could react, Xu Wendong picked up a knife from the ground, heading straight for Yue Qian Mountain.
Just as he raised the steel knife, getting ready to strike,
an excruciating pain in his left eye suddenly intensified, sending a spine-chilling scream forth and causing the steel knife in his hand to fall powerlessly to the ground.
Even though Yue Qian Mountain was within reach, he couldn’t grasp the knife and kill him.
After all,
the Gu Worm was colluding with Yue Qian Mountain from the inside, wreaking severe havoc on his body.
Xu Wendong roared, attempting to gouge out his left eye again.
But,
Yue Qian Mountain scornfully incanted words, sounding like incantations.
At the sa mont,
Xu Wendong once more felt the Gu Worm ejecting a mouthful of searing venom, paralyzing his nerves and rendering him immobile.
"Is the heavens going to doom ?" Xu Wendong felt a surge of strong reluctance.
His father’s deep sea of blood revenge was still unpaid.
His mother was missing too.
He would never allow himself to die here.
Thinking thus, a tinge of madness welled in his heart, his Soul Force surged wildly into his left eye; unable as he was to gouge it out,
he would destroy both the Gu Worm and his left eye with his spiritual force!
Thud!
When his spiritual force enveloped the Gu Worm, Yue Qian Mountain promptly spat out a mouthful of blood, eyes filled with terror, "Why is there a terrifying power within your body?"
He didn’t know why Xu Wendong’s body harbored such terrifying power, only sensing an imnse crisis.
He knew,
if he didn’t quickly retrieve his Gu Worm, it might very well be killed by Xu Wendong.
By then, he would die too.
He quickly chanted incantations, attempting to have the Gu Worm exit Xu Wendong’s eye, only to find all attempts futile.
There seed to be a mysterious force severing his telepathy with the Gu Worm.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Could it be that this Gu Worm is your Lifeworm Gu?" Xu Wendong’s face was wild, having heard Elder Qin ntion that a Lifeworm Gu is linked with its master’s life.
If the Gu Worm in his eye was indeed Yue Qian Mountain’s Lifeworm Gu, then killing him would be simple.
"Die!"
Yue Qian Mountain roared, charging at Xu Wendong with thunderous force, intending to kill him with one strike.
Yet at this critical mont,
Han Li, like a specter, withstood Yue Qian Mountain’s deadly blow with his flesh and blood body, standing in front of Xu Wendong.
His face was pale, continually spitting shattered internal organs from his mouth, yet his eyes remained filled with endless madness, "I said, anyone could kill Xu Wendong, but you, Yue Qian Mountain, are unqualified!"
"To kill him, you must first... step over my corpse!"
"Then I will fulfill your wish!" Enraged, Yue Qian Mountain raised his palm, imbued with terrible internal force, to crush down upon Han Li’s head.
Witnessing this scene, Han Li stood straight, slowly closing his eyes.
Even in death, he wished to stand straight.
And just as he steeled himself to et his end, Xu Wendong’s spiritual force completely obliterated the Gu Worm in his eye.
Simultaneously, Yue Qian Mountain clutched his head, bleeding from all seven orifices, emitting a shrill scream.
He staggered backward several steps, his blood-red eyes filled with unwillingness, "Who are you? Why is there such formidable power within your body?"
