Chapter 176: Chapter 175: Betting Life

Tie Dan! A great crisis!

Just escaped Lan Pond, with a hippo chasing behind! Ambushed again by the Nascent Soul’s Three Treasures!

Just surfaced, only to be struck by the white flood dragon formed from the immortal silk’s tail! Breaking the Ice River Escape! Protective True Qi shattered! Falling from the water!

Before he could dodge, the Yellow Ape’s Golden Axe chopped down! If not for his quick use of the Gold Avoiding Technique to escape, he would have been beheaded!

But things happen in threes! Escaping two moves, he couldn’t avoid the Ruyi Jade Phoenix’s strike from behind!

"Bang!"

The force was immense! The ground shook and the mountains quaked! It shattered his armor, causing his lungs to shudder! Blood spurt from his throat!

On the brink of death!

"Turbo Technique!"

Tie Dan roared! Biting his tongue, his Essence Blood boiled! Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell! Blood Shadow Shifting!

Boom!

The next moment, the blue-gold and white three rays of light struck together! Treasure Light shone brightly! Exploding the water of Lan Pond into a sky-high column! Gold Lotus blossoms blasted and scattered all over the pond!

Thanks to Tie Dan’s decisiveness, seeing the ambush, he immediately escaped! If he had hesitated for a second, he would have died without a trace!

Forced into such a situation, Tie Dan was filled with hatred! A killing intent arose!

He must kill!

Blood Escape depletes Essence Blood, damages the Dao Foundation, and cannot last long! These magic treasures can break his escape, seal his magic, and these Artifact Spirits are relentless, willing to fight to the death without giving up their goals! Escape is impossible!

Then he must kill them all!

"Shadow!"

The sword ball transformed into golden mist, clashing with the Golden Axe! With the Divine Light Sword Light flashing chaotically!

While Tie Dan played the Jade Flute! Splitting out a Clone Sword Soul, barely holding off the white flood dragon and Jade Phoenix attacking from both sides!

Boom!

Yet before Tie Dan could catch a breath, the lake surface stirred again! Demon Qi soared into the sky!

The Xiao Family Hippo also chased after the scent of the Immortal Ganoderma! Relentlessly pursuing!

One man fighting against the gods and demons from four directions! Yet Tie Dan was unafraid!

"Whoosh——!"

Taking the brief cover provided by the clones! Blood Shadow flew across, streaking like a rainbow across the lake surface, heading straight for the mud-covered Gold Lotus on the shore!

"Roar!"

The hippo opened its blood-red mouth and chased after! Snared by countless Gold Lotus stems, upturned vast mud, slowing its speed!

"Swipe!"

The Ruyi Jade Phoenix transformed into a jade phoenix, swiftly breaking through the interception! Spreading its wings, it sent a wave of Qi Wave Blade Light, cutting off the lake embankment! Blocking Tie Dan’s retreat!

However, Tie Dan had anticipated this move!

With the Shadow blocking the Golden Axe, the clone holding off the white flood dragon, and Lan Pond hindering the hippo, Tie Dan finally seized the chance for a one-on-one confrontation at the crucial moment! Charging alone, directly at the Jade Phoenix!

Raising his hand! He threw out the Immortal Ganoderma!

And the Jade Phoenix opened its mouth to catch it!

"Screw you!"

Taibai Sword Light infused! Three-Turbo Divine Skill possessed! A flute stabbed forth! Unstoppable!

Tie Dan wielded the flute like a sword thrust, leaving no room for retreat! Sacrificing himself in a flying strike! The strike pierced the Jade Phoenix’s throat!

"Bang!"

One strike shattered it!

The phoenix head flew off! The Ruyi broke into two halves!

You use Nascent Soul Treasure to bully, I use Divinity Transformation Treasure against you!

"Swoosh!"

The white flood dragon swept, scattering all of Tie Dan’s clones and Sword Soul shadows! Transforming into immortal silk, coiling around Tie Dan’s feet!

"Ding!"

The Golden Axe blocked! Knocking the flying sword ball Shadow away! In mid-air, the Yellow Ape’s Artifact Spirit took form! Brandishing the giant axe! A strike aimed at Tie Dan’s head!

"Roar!"

The hippo roared! Struggling free from the entangling Golden Lotus Vine! Leaping in pursuit, heading straight for the Jade Phoenix clutching the Immortal Ganoderma with its mouth...

It’s true! He had anticipated it!

"Block!"

Tie Dan used the flute to block! Holding against the Golden Axe’s furious strike!

The axe blade instantly chipped and fragmented! Yet Tie Dan was also shaken, receiving internal injuries! His entire skeleton rattled! Blood gushed from his mouth and nose! Flames burst in his eyes!

"Child Sword!"

"Buzz——!"

Child Sword Light fired again! Directly targeting the flaw! Blasting the Golden Axe into pieces! One strike sweeping the Yellow Ape’s head into ashes!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Yet in this brief moment! The immortal silk, like a python, wrapped around him! Monster power erupted! Breaking Tie Dan’s limbs entirely!

The white silk cut into Tie Dan’s body like a saw! Twisting his entire body until it creaked and groaned!

If not for Tie Dan’s skeleton being a Divinity Transformation Level Golden Body Sword Bone, this would have torn him into pieces! Shattered into countless fragments!

But he still endured!

"Child Sword ah ah!"

"Buzz——!"

Firing a third Child Sword! Tie Dan’s eyes nearly exploded into two bloody holes! This strike was even fiercer! Slashing directly at his own waist and abdomen! Cutting his Dao Body and the white silk in half at the waist!

Still! He could still endure!

"Blood Shadow Shifting!!"

Blood Escape, flying away! Getting ahead of the hippo! Reclaiming the Immortal Ganoderma!

"Roar——!"

The Xiao Family Hippo opened its blood-red mouth! Swallowing Tie Dan whole!

Tie Dan! A great crisis!

Yes, this time it’s truly a crisis!

While it wasn’t the first time being swallowed by a monster, and even managing to turn the tables before, this time it’s different!

Following intense battles, with near-death experiences throughout, his eyes shot out and exploded, fighting for survival with no refining left in him!

Now Tie Dan’s meridians were all severed, True Qi exhausted! Only able to jab aimlessly with the Jade Flute!

Though each stab made a hole, without True Qi to create a larger opening, he could never escape this hippo’s stomach, instead becoming demon food, consumed completely!

Thus Tie Dan had to muster all his strength, inserting the Jade Flute into the hippo’s throat, clinging desperately to avoid being swallowed!

But the danger was, the hippo had its own skills!

Inside its stomach, tumors grew into faces! Those faces of the Xiao Family’s men, women, and children appeared with ghastly faces, spewing ghostly claws from their noses and mouths! Like countless twisting intestines, tearing and dragging Tie Dan deeper into the hippo’s stomach and intestines!

Can’t hold on... not this time...

"Waaaaa die!"

Then the faces of the Xiao Family Ancestor and Xiao Baize emerged from the walls of flesh, biting off Tie Dan’s fingers!

Instantly! Tie Dan was dragged by the demons! Falling into an abyss!

"Snap!"

Then Tie Dan was yanked!

Raising his head abruptly, Tie Dan was shocked to see that the one who grabbed him was the Eastern Law Enforcement Venerable!

At the edge of the bloody cliff, a red shadow stretched out a hand, grabbing Tie Dan.

"Give me the Dao Body."

Tie Dan stared at him with his blood-filled eye sockets.

"If this continues, you’ll be digested by this beast, birthing a Great Demon!"

The Eastern Venerable said,

"If you dare trust me, give me your Dao Body. Let’s gamble.

I’ll use the Heavenly Demon Blood Dissolving Divine Skill to perish along with this demon, helping you through this ordeal.

You possess the Divine Lord’s Great Tao Body Divine Skill, with the Star Fate Dao Soul and the Immortal Ganoderma Scripture protecting you.

After blood dissolution, you’ll still have a glimmer of life, able to reincarnate, be reborn in blood."

Tie Dan, through his bloody holes for eyes, stared at him.

"Why?"

The Eastern Venerable chuckled coldly,

"It’s up to you, anyway, this is just one of my Blood God’s Son avatars.

I’m not losing anything, I’m just acting on behalf of heaven, eliminating this monster with benefits.

At least preventing that old scumbag from winning all, taking your precious Dao Body."

Tie Dan, his body torn by ghosts and deities, with no flesh spared, but still refusing,

"Why save me?"

Seeing Tie Dan still staring stubbornly, the Eastern Venerable sighed,

"...Aren’t you still living for her?"

Tie Dan was confused,

"For her? The Holy Daughter?"

The Eastern Venerable shook his head,

"I mean the other one."

The, the other one he refers to...

"What a stubborn one..."

The Eastern Venerable sighed, raising his hand, pulling Tie Dan back up the cliff,

"Live, live so she can see, even if she doesn’t want, that people like us can live on."

"...Alright."

So Tie Dan opened his eyes.

Not endless bloody holes anymore.

But two crystalline Blood God’s Sons appeared in his sockets, reflecting amidst the endless blood, like a pair of scarlet eyes opening.

Thus that red gleam clashed like tides, resonating, harmonizing, the blazing firelight blossomed forth. Like Blood God’s Son, a leaping spark, igniting the light star, blood like flames burned, generating endless energy, erupting in an instant.

In the soundless eruption of energy, not only the demon-bodied hippo formed by the Xiao Family was blown into ashes, turning to charcoal, but the entire Lan Pond evaporated completely, those Gold Lotus, those corals, those mountain stone pavilions, the Xiao Clan’s hidden treasures over the years, all dissipating into smoke amidst the dazzling radiation.

Raging fireballs steamed through the sky, lighting up the night like day, the Qi Wave sweeping out, turning the entire Lan Pond into a blood rain, drenching Lanling.

"Sain! They actually hid a Blood God’s Son in him! Almost blew me to smithereens! That bastard can’t stand to see me win!"

Amidst this overwhelming blood rain, steaming blood qi like smoke, thunder roared, and Mr. He Lin appeared with his escape technique.

In this moment, it had been a bloody battle on his side as well, with his brow being split twice, almost cleaving him into eight pieces, luckily saved by an Immortal Pill, revived with Divine Skill, finally managing to deal with the Blood God’s Son.

Looking at the devastated explosion center, he saw Tie Dan’s golden-armored skeletal remains with a dazzling golden light on the chest, the golden cube using its miraculous Dao Power, protecting his vital area from destruction.

And that Lingzhi and bamboo slip, also cooked by the erupting blood fire, emitting a mist-like purple smoke, wrapping Tie Dan’s entire body in a vapor of Dao Breath, attempting to root and sprout, overcoming this great calamity.

Then the surging blood followed the Blood God’s Son’s call, rushing together, with a steady stream of blood flow, layer after layer of blood water irrigating, this remnant body and Dao skeletal form visibly regenerated.

"Ah... reviving the dead, flesh regenerating, reborn in blood, Taiyin transformation..."

Before this scene, Mr. He Lin also frowning contemplating deeply,

"Tiring indeed, tiring indeed, running around struggling, only to end up fearing it will all be for this lad to benefit...

No, impossible! This is my opportunity! I can’t lose! I won’t lose!

Fine! This old man will give you a chance! Seven days to reincarnate, to gamble on how resilient your life truly is!"

Thus before the endless Immortal Soldiers and guards gathered, Mr. He Lin, with a flick of his sleeve, collected Tie Dan’s corpse, clearing the battlefield, and escaped into the sky.
