Chapter 108: Chapter 106 - A Mantis Trying to Stop a Chariot (Continuing the Climax, Asking Everyone for Votes)_1

Judge Wen Zhang Yan woke up when Li Xuan loudly voiced the sentence, "In the face of life and death, the sun and moon hold no sway."

He had originally fainted from the serious injuries inflicted by Chenghuang Yuanzhou, and the activation of the "Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice" had further burdened his Primordial Spirit.

It wasn’t until Yuan Zhou had to take his attention away from him that Zhang Yan regained consciousness.

The current situation, however, left Zhang Yan momentarily confused. He glanced at Yuan Zhou and then at Li Xuan, before a small smile appeared on his face—a likely sign of his relief, knowing that "his path now had a successor."

"What a blowhard! What right do you have to stand in my way?"

Resentment flashed in Yuan Zhou’s eyes, and his horsetail whisk slipped from his sleeve again, morphing into countless dragon snakes that lunged at Li Xuan. This caused a sound like a roaring tsunami to reverberate again within the dungeon.

Li Xuan watched, calm and steady, as the monstrous, terrifying, and surging flood of snakes approached. At first, his heart jumped, but then his breathing steadied, a faint smirk playing upon his lips.

"Indeed, I am not qualified. In front of Master Yuan, I, Li Xuan, am nothing. What I am doing today is laughable, like trying to halt a cart with a mantis’s arm. But just as Zhang Master said, despite its futility, I shall proceed!"

With a nonchalant point of his finger, Li Xuan produced a rather inconspicuous initial effect. But then, he summoned thousands of "Shenxiao Juemie Thunders" which, aided by the great rectitude, turned into thunder dragons. They undulated and roamed freely in front of Li Xuan, colliding and striking against the dragon snakes.

With the explosion of a brilliant flash of light, Li Xuan once again rent open a path through the snake tide, allowing him to advance another zhang.

At this moment, the bones in Li Xuan’s body were making creaking sounds, as if they were about to shatter.

The great rectitude drawn from the original "The Song of Integrity" was gradually exceeding Li Xuan’s bearing limit, burdening his body to the point of overload.

But Li Xuan didn’t notice at all. He marched forward with dedicated focus!

Bang!

Two evil spirits at the seventh house level were shattered into luminescent dust by his robust finger-lethal thunder.

It’s worth mentioning that one of them was the ’Guanyintu’ that had tried to provoke him earlier.

The expression on Chenghuang Yuan Zhou’s face suddenly paled: "Sima Lanxiang! Is this all the skills your master taught you? You can’t even handle a minor hybrid. What grand scheme are you talking about?"

The woman in the purple dress also looked mortified. Did that chap from across come across as an uncalculating, worthless loafer to her?

She raised her hand and summoned two crimson flying knives from her sleeve. Then, she bit the tip of her tongue and spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the blade tips.

The blood then seeped into the flying knives, making these two magical instruments glow blood-red!

As the woman in the purple dress uttered the word ’go’, the two flying knives turned into streaks of light, darting so fast that Li Xuan had no time to react. By the time Li Xuan noticed, the two blows had already landed in front of him.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and promptly responded with a strike of his finger. He couldn’t successfully point at the blade tips, so he could only use a mighty thunderbolt, the ramping great rectitude, to interfere, dissolve, and force them away.

Eventually, the two knives didn’t pierce his heart, but they did leave two trails of blood on either side of his shoulder blades. They had evidently passed through the gaps in his ribs, pierced his lungs, and emerged through his shoulder blades.

Every breath taken by Li Xuan felt as painful as a knife slicing into him, and he couldn’t help but spit out blood from his mouth and nose. Once again, the crimson seal was pressing him on the ground under a colossal ’Qixia’ mountain, relegating him to a kneeling position, almost immobile.

But within no more than a moment, Li Xuan managed to prop himself back up and continued to move forward with great difficulty.

"My spirit keeps the earth stand firm, the sky’s columns honor it. The Three Primes govern life, rooted in the path of righteousness!"

With his lungs damaged, Li Xuan could no longer sing loudly. His voice was hardly audible, as though a mosquito buzzing. However, torrential reservoir of great rectitude exuding from the original "The Song of Integrity" was now boiling and appeared even more grand and imposing.

His lightning again turned into hundreds of vast thunder dragons, scattering and blasting away the many dragon snakes rushing towards him. Endless Cold Power spread and permeated from under his feet, freezing everything it touched and turning the underground prison into a frozen realm.

Chenghuang Yuan Zhou watched Li Xuan’s figure, and saw him, unstoppable, step-by-step drawing closer, and for a moment, felt a slight anxiety creep into his heart.

The miscreant standing before him, incredibly young, practically still wet behind the ears — he was genuinely capable of ruining his ’Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice’!

Yuan Zhou did not believe that he would be defeated by this man, who relied on the help of others. The issue was that while maintaining the ’Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice,’ he could only draw out thirty percent of his magical power at most.

Once he realized this fact, Chenghuang Yuan Zhou’s gaze turned exceptionally cold, "Given the situation, isn’t it about time you take action? Must I really force you to do so?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan couldn’t help but feel curious. Who exactly was the Zongbing of Dasheng Pass asking to make a move? There shouldn’t be any other hidden powers in this dungeon.

However, Zhang Yan’s face abruptly changed immediately after.

Li Xuan was equally astounded, as he slowly lowered his head, inexplicably looking at the spear blade that had pierced through his chest.

— He was very familiar with this spear!

At the same time, he also saw thousands of blood strands bursting out from his body.

※※※※

When the ’Yin-Yang Breaker Charm’ took Xue Yunrou back from the underground to the Humane Realm, she found herself standing inside Dasheng Pass, not far from the General’s Mansion of Dasheng Pass.

The environment, layout, and architectural style here were somewhat similar to Dasheng Pass in Nether Realm, yet everything Xue Yunrou saw was real, instead the sense of unreality she experienced in the Nether Realm.

At this moment, severe pain was emanating from beneath her right rib, but her mind was not on her wound. Even though the pain twisted her beautiful face.

Xue Yunrou was utterly stunned, incapable of believing what had just transpired.

The boy, just a year older than her, whose initial impression of her wasn’t great, marched out decisively. Without a moment of hesitation, he faced the nearly ten thousand demons in the cave and the horrifying figure of Chenghuang Yuan Zhou. He bravely went to his doom, leaving to her the only chance for escape.

How strange! Before, he was merely a frivolous, wastrel playboy, an unlearned and good-for-nothing dandy. She, Xue Yunrou, certainly did not expect anything of him — then why did he act so heroically?

Yet an indescribable warmth and immeasurable gratitude enveloped her heart and soul.

Torrents of heartache, so intense it felt like her heart was being wrung, came alongside it.

— He will die. In that situation, he will surely die!

That bastard, he imprinted his not so wide, yet surprisingly dependable, figure in her heart in the most brutal way.

With this thought in mind, Xue Yunrou jumped up without hesitation and ran in the direction of Nanjing City at her fastest speed.

At this point, the effect of the ’Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice’ had reached the present world. Wherever Xue Yunrou went, all the homeowners around her fell into a deep sleep.

Nonetheless, Xue Yunrou did not pay any attention. She was desperately driving her Zhenyuan.

Whether it was Li Xuan or the ’Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice,’ both had taken place in the Underground.

In Xue Yunrou’s view, the only one who could save them now was the lord of Nanjing Underground, the Duchenghuang of the Jin Dynasty!

At this moment, the excruciating pain and loss of blood from her rib wound were making her dizzy, but she gritted her teeth and fought not to fall. Fortunately, Xue Yunrou soon saw a not very robust Dragon Horse tied up in a stable in a small courtyard ahead.

Xue Yunrou’s eyes brightened, and without thinking, she jumped on. After throwing fifty patterned silver into the homeowner’s room, she kicked open the courtyard gate and galloped away.

At this time, there was only one thought in Xue Yunrou’s mind.

Venerable Jiuku of Taiyi, please save Li Xuan’s life! Otherwise, she, Xue Yunrou, would regret it for the rest of her life!
