Chapter 399: Chapter 169: Literature, Martial, Loyalty, Treachery, Hero, Villain, Life and Death! _3

But in an instant, determination crystallized.

He lifted his hand, pressing his palm against Yue Pengwu’s mouth.

Inside him, the "Eternal Moon Undying Medicine" Golden Core rotated several times.

Then, it directly shattered!

The Qi Mechanism around the youth dissipated like the wind, as did his spirit.

Yue Pengwu’s originally blurred vision suddenly paused and cleared for a moment, and he saw the fuzzy General merging with the figure of the youth, saw the traces of the Fei Blood’s extreme poison reappear on Li Guanyi’s face.

The youth grinned, resembling the young General who had once pulled him out of the farm fields.

"He who gathers firewood for others should not perish in the snow and wind."

"The General’s command."

"Li Guanyi carries it!"

The martial technique, derived from the legend of the green-robed guest and the Alchemist’s Immortal Elixir’s Golden Core theory, summoned a boundless vitality that, along with the Immortality Elixir’s power hidden within Li Guanyi, was forced out. Yan Xuanji’s expression suddenly changed drastically, noticing the tips of the youth’s hair lift slightly.

Then, traces of poison erosion appeared on his face; without the Golden Core’s resistance, the world’s top-tier poison instantly pervaded Li Guanyi’s body. The familiar excruciating pain returned, but he did not stop his actions.

Yan Xuanji exclaimed, "Young Master!!"

And Yue Pengwu lapsed into confusion before darkness took his vision.

He had still been able to fight fiercely and had one last powerful martial technique to employ. He was still lucid, fierce as a burning flame, but at that moment he lost consciousness. However, the bundle of firewood that should have burned completely instead became protected.

The inevitable decline of extreme prosperity was interrupted.

Yue Pengwu’s life force ceased to dissipate, the last of his vitality anchored in his chest, maintaining the bare minimum of its beats. With dark, blood-like stains appearing on his face and body, Li Guanyi’s trembling hands were hidden behind his back as he spoke:

"Jianghu legends speak of a green-robed person who can bring the dead back to life."

"In the Ghost Market, there exists a Divine Doctor who can also awaken General Yue."

Yan Xuanji stood there, stunned, as the youth withdrew his hand and clenched his fist, then said:

"General Yan, please take General Yue and leave."

Yan Xuanji blurted out, "What about you?!"

"Me?"

Li Guanyi lifted his Weapon, but only smiled and said:

"With such fame as yours, you’re bound to attract plenty of enemies. If you stay with me, I would only become a burden to you. Should we be together, none of us could escape. It’s better to split up, you need not worry about me, yet you can still draw away the experts."

"I’m not some sacrificial hero."

"This way, perhaps we can all make it out alive."

Yan Xuanji looked at the youth before him and said, "The poison in you..."

"Oh, Fei Blood, huh? I’ve encountered that before."

The youth seemed unconcerned as he laughed softly:

"Just severe poison."

"At worst, I’ll struggle for another ten years!"

"You go first..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t die."

Yan Xuanji watched the figure of the youth and in a daze seemed to see the shadow of another person, same in character and bearing. In his reverie, while lost amidst the eighty trials of the Buddhist Sect, he saw the youth turn to look at him:

"Oh right, there’s one more thing, General Yan."

The youth lifted his Battle Halberd, standing before Yan Xuanji and Yue Pengwu, who clung to a thread of life, and softly said: "Although I say, I am not my father, he would surely have said the same."

"You are the General carrying the command banner."

"So what if I die?"

"As long as your spirit is undying, the banner will not fall."

Yan Xuanji’s body shook violently, and as the youth passed by with the Frost Battle Halberd in hand, it seemed to Yan Xuanji that it was the young Taiping Duke passing by, as if the Duke’s voice mingled with the youth’s clear tones.

Li Guanyi stood firm, Battle Halberd against the ground: "A true man repays favors."

"Ten years ago, you paved a path of life for me; this time, Li Guanyi opens up the way forward for you. However, my strength is still weak, and perhaps this is all I can do."

"If I survive this ordeal, General, you will indeed hear my name one day."

Yan Xuanji watched the youth’s receding figure.

The heroes of the world shine the brightest at the most desperate moments, and that youth still carried the gallant spirit of one who stands at the forefront. Overcome with sudden emotion, Yan Xuanji grinned widely.

He reached out, tearing off the Buddha Beads around his neck.

Then, kneeling halfway, he clenched his fist and replied resolutely:

"Subordinate Yan Xuanji."

"Following my Lord’s command!"

He looked up at the youth: "So, my Lord."

"I take my leave."

Turning his back on Yan Xuanji, Li Guanyi nodded; Yan Xuanji rose, seized the mystical weapon, and lifted the barely alive Yue Pengwu onto his shoulders. His eyes reddened with emotion, he took the initiative to charge out of the Formation’s edge. Li Guanyi exhaled, and as Yan Xuanji left in haste, his expression suddenly changed.

Li Guanyi trembled, nearly collapsing in agony, the Battle Halberd propping him against the ground as Fei Blood transformed into deadly poison. His eyes burned with a fierce fire, yet he didn’t fall but knelt, gripping the Battle Halberd tightly, using the power of the Green Bird to suppress the lethal toxin.

His face paled, but all he did was slap his cheek and curse:

"That’s for playing the hero."

"It hurts like hell!"

Then he burst out laughing: "Anyway, there’s no turning back now!"
