No hope for eternal life

Chapter 465 Survival by cutting off the tail

Let's go back to the battlefield on You Wushuang's side. Hu Gengchang stared at You Wushuang with an expression of disbelief. He didn't expect that You Wushuang was in charge of the Sub-Saint Realm from the very beginning. You Wushuang should have been in charge of the Tianyou Realm.

They set up the Sky-Covering Array to guard against possible support from You Wushuang. This array is difficult to break from the outside. If You Wushuang comes to support and attack the array, they still have time to retreat. But it is completely different from the inside. You Wushuang can break the array with just one sword.

To sum it up in one sentence, the appearance of You Wushuang disrupted all the deployments of the demon clan!

It was too late to think about why You Wushuang appeared in the Sub-Saint Realm. Hu Gengchang calculated quickly in his mind that with You Wushuang here, the goal of killing Ji Tianyu would naturally fail, and it would be unlikely for them to escape unscathed. If they dragged it on, when other Ninth Realm cultivators arrived, both of them would be buried in this Sub-Saint Realm!

Therefore, Tiger Gengchang decisively chose to cut off his tail to survive, and sent a message to the snake demon: "Bai Xun, I will find you a chance. You escape first, and I will stay behind to cover your retreat."

The one that Hu Gengchang planned to cut off was himself!

Upon hearing this, the snake demon Bai Xun quickly replied: "If you stay behind to cover us, you will not survive. Let me cover us. Although I have lost my natal sword, I still have some strength to fight."

Bai Xun knew very well that, as they were both in the ninth realm, Chief Hu Geng was more important than himself. Even now that he had to sacrifice the rook to save the king, Chief Hu Geng was obviously more like the "king".

"You can only take 50% chance of success if you cover the rear, and I can take 80% chance if I cover the rear. We can't afford any more risks. If we are not careful, we will die here." Hu Gengchang quickly transmitted his voice: "Tell the demon lord for me when we go back that he should be more cautious in the future and not repeat what happened today."

"You." Bai Xun was speechless, but he also knew that what Hu Gengchang said made sense, so he stopped arguing: "Take care of yourself."

While Hu Gengchang and Bai Xun were communicating via telepathy, You Wushuang had already drawn her sword again, but this time she no longer used the peak power-accumulating killing move like before. Instead, she focused on fighting and waiting for the arrival of other Ninth Realm monks to surround and kill the two monsters together. This was the safest and least costly method.

After Hu Gengchang and Bai Xun had an agreement, Hu Gengchang displayed his extraordinary power. The blood and energy in his body burst out and gathered into a sea of ​​blood. This sea of ​​blood was not an ordinary method, but the fundamental method he had cultivated through the ninth level of body refining.

In a sense, this sea of ​​blood represents his cultivation of the ninth level of body refining. As long as the sea of ​​blood exists, his body refining cultivation will be there. Under normal circumstances, even if a little bit of blood was lost, he would feel sad, but now he can't care about it.

Every trace of blood in the sea of ​​blood was as heavy as a mountain. It swept towards You Wushuang and Ji Tianyu, drowning them in it, trying to restrict their movements.

At the same time, the snake demon Bai Xun was also wrapped in a sea of ​​blood. With the help of Chief Hu Geng, he fled at a high speed towards the outside of the Sub-Saint Realm.

Ji Tianyu was now trapped in the sea of ​​blood, unable to break free, and could only watch Bai Xun escape. However, You Wushuang was different. She was almost unrestricted in the sea of ​​blood. After seeing through Bai Xun's intention to escape, she immediately slashed with her sword with all her strength.

With this sword, the sword energy directly split the sea of ​​blood, instantly crossed a distance of thousands of miles, and headed straight for Bai Xun.

Bai Xun felt a chill in his heart. He knew that if he turned back at this moment, You Wushuang would take the opportunity to catch up with him and harass him, and he would not be able to escape.

Therefore, Bai Xun decisively chose to sacrifice the rook to save the king again. This time, what he wanted to sacrifice was his own body!

Bai Xun's python body exploded instantly. The self-explosion of a ninth-level cultivator, even if it was only the physical body, was terrifying enough. Relying on this powerful force of self-explosion, Bai Xun was finally able to temporarily block You Wushuang's sword energy, leaving only a remnant soul fleeing frantically.

The reason why it is called a remnant soul is that the body and soul of a ninth-level cultivator have long been deeply integrated into one. Even if only the body is self-destructed, the soul will definitely be damaged.

You Wushuang also understood the reason. Bai Xun's natal sword was destroyed, his body was gone, and his soul was severely damaged. He was almost injured beyond repair. In comparison, the Captain Hu Geng in front of him seemed more worth killing.

Therefore, You Wushuang did not chase Bai Xun again, in case he got away. Ji Tianyu alone could not hold back Captain Hu Geng, and in the end, both of them escaped.

As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one of the enemy's fingers than to hurt ten of them. The "finger" that You Wushuang wanted to cut off was Hu Geng's length.

Now that Hu Gengchang was the only target left, You Wushuang no longer worried about him escaping. He casually slashed the sea of ​​blood in front of him with a few swords. You Wushuang finally spoke: "I have many regrets in my life, one of which is that I have never killed the Ninth Realm Demon Emperor. Today I can finally fulfill my wish."

"You Wushuang, you are indeed strong enough. I have seen it today, but you are not strong enough to kill me." Hu Gengchang sneered and refused to bow his head. Even if it was a situation where he was sure to die, he would fight with all his might. Now that the ninth-level strongmen from the other two sects and three clans have not arrived yet, this is his only chance to survive.

Most of the sea of ​​blood released by Hu Gengchang before had been destroyed by You Wushuang and Ji Tianyu, so he released another sea of ​​blood, but this was his last sea of ​​blood.

At the same time, all the power of the sea of ​​blood was burning, strengthening the suppressing force. It has been proved before that the sea of ​​blood in normal state cannot suppress You Wushuang at all. Therefore, Hu Gengchang can only enhance his power by burning the sea of ​​blood, hoping to affect You Wushuang.

Then, Captain Hu Geng turned around and fled. He knew clearly that staying in the Sub-Saint Realm would only mean waiting for death. Only by escaping to the void, where the sky is high and birds can fly freely, would he have a chance to escape.

Upon seeing this, You Wushuang turned his body into a sword and flew through the boundless sea of ​​blood, chasing after Hu Gengchang. The burning sea of ​​blood created by Hu Gengchang did create a little resistance for You Wushuang, but it was only a little. In terms of speed, You Wushuang was almost as fast as Hu Gengchang even though he was in the sea of ​​blood.

As a result, You Wushuang quickly broke free from the shackles of the burning sea of ​​blood, and her speed increased dramatically, even surpassing Hu Gengchang, so the distance between her and Hu Gengchang was constantly shrinking!

Captain Hu Geng sensed You Wushuang chasing him closely, so he gritted his teeth and used the same trick as Bai Xun - self-destructing his body!

Although both of them self-destructed their bodies, the power of Hu Gengchang's self-destruction was obviously stronger than that of the snake demon Bai Xun before. Because he was a ninth-level body cultivator, his body was naturally stronger, and thus extremely powerful. After his self-destruction, the entire starry sky not far from the Sub-Saint Realm was covered by the power of his self-destruction, and it lay between him and You Wushuang, like a natural and insurmountable barrier.

Without a physical body, Hu Gengchang's escape speed was even faster. This was because he had burned a certain amount of spiritual power in order to escape as quickly as possible.

In his opinion, self-destructing the body and burning the power of the soul are nothing. As long as he can survive, there is hope!
