Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone
Chapter 256 - 140 Ah? No! Ah???

Chapter 256: Chapter 140 Ah? No! Ah???

"How’s Wang Zheng?"

"Vital signs are stable; he must have overdrawn himself."

"The Blade Beasts are starting to retreat here. I’ll adjust the firepower to clear the area around you. We’ll try our best to keep all the General Level Blade Beasts! Lingtong, just take good care of Wang Zheng, there’s no need for you to join the battle!"

"Understood."

Lingtong’s conversation with Dongfang Zhenghong came through the earpiece.

Wang Jixuan, lying on the ground, couldn’t even wiggle a finger now.

His spiritual sense and divine thought were severely depleted, and it would be best for him to completely pass out now to avoid secondary damage.

But...

But he had something even more important to do.

The Crystal Core of the King-level Blade Beast!

Such treasures are hard to come by in this rubbish cultivation environment. He might use it later as an array base for a Mountain Protection Array, or even just extracting the spiritual power within would be great!

Wang Jixuan squeezed out a bit of spirit light from his already dried-up riverbed of spiritual sense and barely lifted his left arm.

Lingtong immediately pressed his arm down.

"Don’t worry! Please rest! The Blade Beast Group is starting to retreat. The mark on your head has disappeared, and I will protect you from now on!"

"I..."

Wang Jixuan was almost angered to spit out blood.

"Please don’t feel guilty."

Lingtong sighed softly:

"Mutual destruction was actually a tactic already set by the Half-human Mecha. If I could also severely wound a King-level Blade Beast, then I would have no regrets. Red Snake will be recorded on the wall of honor."

"The crystal..."

"Understood, I’ll have them embezzle some for you."

Lingtong pressed down on Wang Jixuan firmly and gently patted his shoulder.

She looked around at the various units frantically attacking the General Level Blade Beasts.

Due to the death of the King-level Blade Beast, these General Level Blade Beasts were fighting independently, with a significant decline in their will to fight.

After having expended so much in resources and even having fortresses like number 82 breached, how could humanity possibly let these General Level Blade Beasts retreat now?

Lingtong sighed softly.

She wanted to fight as well...

Master Wang steeled himself, silently chanted "Infinite Heavenly Venerate" in his heart, and sat up right in front of Lingtong. He threw off the glove on his left hand, quickly grabbed three Blood Qi Pills from his bosom, swallowed them, took a deep breath, yet his expression remained extremely pale.

With a low voice, he said, "I’m all right! Go check on Deep Sea... cough cough! Red Snake died in battle. He must be very upset, make sure he doesn’t do anything extreme... The sword!"

Lingtong quickly held up her Great Sword, and the Daoist grabbed it, motioning with his hand for her not to follow, then staggered toward the corpse of the King-level Blade Beast.

Wang Jixuan barely took two steps before Lingtong caught up from behind and volunteered to support the Daoist’s arm:

"My mission now is to protect you.

Don’t worry too much about the Deep Sea. We had all planned our own life journeys before undergoing the transformation; this is actually the best end."

"Hmm."

As the effects of the Blood Qi Pills spread, Wang Jixuan’s face gained an unhealthy flush, though it was concealed by the armor helmet.

His eyes blazing, he looked at the King-level Blade Beast and charged forward resolutely.

Lingtong was actually feeling sentimental. She spoke as if to comfort herself, whispering:

"This battle’s achievements are already amazing. We have met our strategic goal with minimal casualties."

Amazing achievements?

Minimal casualties?

Daoist Wang glanced at two nearly scrapped Secondary Horror Mechas, looked at the soldiers continuing to sacrifice in the distance, and thought of Red Snake’s calm demeanor when deciding to self-destruct, as if completing a predetermined trivial matter...

Has humanity’s war with the Blade Beasts always been this fierce?

Indeed, it is said that there were over 90 billion people worldwide, including uncounted populations, and now only a few hundred million humans linger in underground fortresses.

Move closer, a bit closer...

That’s close enough!

Daoist Wang signaled Lingtong to let go of him, his hands rapidly forming seals. The compatibility and fit of the X armor with his body were perfectly demonstrated at this moment.

Dragon Python Swallowing Heaven!

The monstrous python appeared before Lingtong, who watched with knit brows as it plunged directly toward the mountainous corpse of the giant Blade Beast.

Blood Qi.

An endless surge of Blood Qi came flooding in.

Wang Jixuan continued to form seals, and the silver needles embedded in his acupoints were gradually forced out.

Though the feeling of fatigue remained, something that would require a good sleep or meditation to dispel;

the pain on his forehead was relieved, the dry spiritual sense recovered rapidly, and once the Qi within his body was replenished, it began to rise unceasingly.

This was the main reason Wang Jixuan chose this Demon Sect cultivation technique as a supplementary method.

If he faced a situation like the defense of Fortress 76 again, needing to dive into a Blade Beast Group, could he kill and simultaneously use this method to absorb the essential Qi of the Blade Beast Blood and Flesh to replenish himself?

Rounded up, wouldn’t that be akin to a perpetual motion machine of slaughter against the Blade Beasts?

Of course, long spells of fighting weren’t that simple; spirit and willpower were both very important.

A few minutes later.

Wang Jixuan’s Qi Sea seemed to let out a burp, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The massive pile of corpses collapsed only a tiny area.

’Should I directly absorb its essence? Then Daoist would burst into pieces countless times over.’

’This is a King-level Blade Beast, its external bones could make excellent Artifact Refining materials, its blood and flesh must also be preserved...’

’First, find its Crystal Core. Who knows how big this core is, or if it can be moved out using the Dragon Python Soul.’

’Those rubbish Spiritual Ability Users may not have made a move, but they’re definitely watching secretly. This King-level Blade Beast cannot be taken by them; this treasure mountain, Daoist has claimed it!’

"Ling... Captain."
