Chapter 725: Chapter 724 [Imminent Danger, Pursued Again]

"The oppressive power of the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner is too strong; we can’t force it out of his body. If this continues, he will eventually explode and die..." Tianshuang locked her eyebrows tightly and spoke with some sorrow.

"What can we do then?" Dongfang Meng was completely clueless about healing, and with Ye Tianchen’s severe injuries, if even the "Divine Calculation," who has survived seven thousand years, has no way to heal him, I’m afraid no one else on Earth could treat Ye Tianchen’s wounds.

Tianshuang glanced at the sky, which was gradually darkening. They had been flying using Qi Manipulation for a whole day, and just now, to stabilize Ye Tianchen’s condition, they had each consumed a large amount of their Martial Arts True Power. If this continued, both of them might risk exhaustion and death even before reaching the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect. However, Ye Tianchen’s injuries could not be delayed for even a moment. Just now, the two of them had exerted all their strength to channel Martial Arts True Power into him, but it had no effect at all. Mainly because inside Ye Tianchen’s body, there still lingered a force from the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, a tremendously powerful force that rapidly assaulted Ye Tianchen’s Martial Arts True Power, continuously attacking his Dantian. Once this destructive force breached Ye Tianchen’s Dantian, no one would be able to save him.

"I just checked, and based on the powerful destructive force of the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, it will definitely breach Ye Tianchen’s Dantian within three hours. Although there’s still some distance to the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, we should be able to reach there before that if we try our hardest," Tianshuang thought for a moment and said.

"Then let’s go, let’s not waste time!" Dongfang Meng said urgently.

"Mm, I just want to tell you, the Grandmaster might not necessarily be able to save Ye Tianchen, you should be prepared!" Tianshuang nodded and said.

"I know, I definitely won’t let anything happen to him!" Dongfang Meng firmly looked back at Tianshuang and stated.

Facing Ye Tianchen’s severe injuries and impending death, Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang felt powerless. The Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner was made for a Peak Martial Saint by the founder of the Five Poison Sect, Poison Saint, who has been praised by an Emperor Level figure. Such acclaim gives credence to his skill. Considering Ye Tianchen, with his Martial Venerate cultivation realm, dared to confront the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner forged by a Martial Saint without being instantaneously killed was extremely fortunate, even miraculous.

Now in Ye Tianchen’s body, there was a residue of the destructive power left behind by the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner. The Martial Arts Power inside his own body could not counter it, and even when Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang joined forces to infuse massive amounts of Martial Arts True Power to help Ye Tianchen, it still could not be stopped.

Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang, both stunning beauties from the Ancient Martial Sects, were now united because of Ye Tianchen. Both were in complete agreement, only thinking about rescuing Ye Tianchen, who had already deeply touched their hearts.

Little did they know, just as Dongfang Meng had lifted Ye Tianchen up, holding his left arm, she saw Tianshuang make a quiet gesture, then lock her eyebrows, seemingly sensing something. Suddenly, she frowned and said, "This is bad, someone is chasing us, they broke my defensive formation with just one move..."

"Who? Is it Du Wanli?" Dongfang Meng asked in surprise.

To know that the defensive formation set up by Tianshuang, even if hastily set up, was not without substantial power, yet still, it was not so easily breached — the attacker must be an extraordinary individual, very powerful.

"No, I sense seven strong presences, most likely the Five Poison Seven Sons," Tianshuang stated grimly.

"We can’t handle these seven people alone; each of them has cultivation at the Early-stage Martial Venerate, and there’s even one Mid-stage Martial Venerate among them. Now, there’s only one way, which is for you to take Tianchen and leave first; I’ll hold off these seven people," Dongfang Meng seriously looked at Tianshuang and said.

"No, it’s too dangerous. Even though the Five Poison Seven Sons aren’t as powerful as Du Wanli, the combined strength of these seven people is too much even for us, let alone just you staying behind; there’s no hope for you to survive..." Tianshuang immediately opposed.

Dongfang Meng stood up, with the Jade Maiden Sword already appearing in her right hand, she looked ahead with a cold and resolute gaze and said, "If we don’t leave now, all three of us will die here. But if I can hold off the Five Poison Seven Sons alone, you would be able to take Tianchen to the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, Tianchen might be saved, and I alone can fight or retreat..."

"Fight or retreat? With the Five Poison Seven Sons, that’s easier said than done," Tianshuang still disagreed.

The Five Poison Seven Sons, nurtured by the Five Poison Sect over centuries as elite young warriors, each one at the Early-stage Martial Venerate, and led by a Mid-stage Martial Venerate, boasted strength formidable on its own. While Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng might not lose in a one-on-one battle, when seven of a similar cultivation realm band together, without having a higher realm, it’s impossible to withstand, and Dongfang Meng only had an Early-stage Martial Venerate cultivation. How could she hold off seven Mid-stage Martial Venerates, let alone one among them who was a Mid-stage Martial Venerate expert.

"Don’t worry, I won’t fight them head-on. As long as you and Tianchen safely get away, I will find a way to escape and find you!" Dongfang Meng said with a smile.

"But..." Tianshuang still didn’t believe it and wanted to persuade Dongfang Meng to leave together with her and Ye Tianchen.

"There’s nothing more to say; it’s too late now. Move quickly, or all three of us will die here. Is it worth it?" Dongfang Meng interrupted Tianshuang.

At that moment, seven figures enveloped in black poisonous gas appeared not far away. The one charging at the forefront was exceptionally fast and shouted loudly, "Where do you think you’re going? Leave your lives behind!"

Arrogant and domineering, the Five Poison Seven Sons, just like Du Wanli, always believed that with their long heritage, and especially with the existence of powerful figures like the Great Elder and possession of the Holy Treasure like the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, it would be no problem to sweep across the Earth Ancient Martial World. That’s why they were so dismissive of others.

Dongfang Meng immediately took to the air, knowing that talking was useless at this point. There was only one word on her mind: "Fight." As she ascended, she glanced down at Tianshuang on the ground, smiled, and said, "I’m leaving him in your hands, please take good care of him!"

Tianshuang was momentarily stunned. Seeing the Five Poison Seven Sons charging towards them, Dongfang Meng faced them alone without any hesitation. Tianshuang tightly clenched her fists, then turned around, helped Ye Tianchen up, and quickly fled using Qi Manipulation Flight. Dongfang Meng was right; the Five Poison Seven Sons wouldn’t let them go. Even if she stayed and fought alongside Dongfang Meng, their chances of victory were very slim. Escaping was the only way.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Dongfang Meng’s sword qi crisscrossed the sky, the dominating pressure from her Jade Maiden Sword tore through the sky, slowing down the Five Poison Seven Sons who no longer dared to charge forward recklessly.

"You capture her; I’ll go after those two who fled!" the leader, who was at the mid Martial Venerate stage, coldly said as he glanced at Dongfang Meng.

The leader of the Five Poison Seven Sons, seeing that Tianshuang and Ye Tianchen had fled and noticing Dongfang Meng’s pale face, knew there was no need for him to act. Dongfang Meng was already severely injured and wouldn’t last long. It was only a matter of time for his six skilled subordinates to capture her.

Boom!

As the leader of the Five Poison Seven Sons made to pursue Ye Tianchen and Tianshuang, Dongfang Meng, pale-faced and visibly toiling yet beautiful, lacked some vitality but forcibly summoned her Martial Arts True Power and delivered a "Jade Maiden Palm" strike. With her current cultivation and condition, it was impossible to defeat the Five Poison Seven Sons; her only goal was to buy some time for Tianshuang and Ye Tianchen.

Bang!

As the leader counter-struck, not taking Dongfang Meng, whose cultivation realm was lower than his, seriously, he stumbled back three steps with a single palm strike, while Dongfang Meng was sent flying.

"The Jade Maiden Heart Scripture of the Ancient Tomb Sect truly is powerful. You’re inferior in cultivation realm and already injured, yet you still managed to make me step back three steps in such a condition. I truly cannot kill you now!" the leader of the Five Poison Seven Sons said with a cold laugh as he looked at Dongfang Meng.

"Quan Li, go ahead and chase down those fleeing two," one of them said lewdly as he eyed Dongfang Meng. "Not only will we catch this beautiful woman, but we’ll also force her to reveal the spell of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture."

"Once captured, nobody touches her without my order!"

Quan Li was the leader of the Five Poison Seven Sons and had once competed with Du Wanli for the position of Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect, which spoke to his strength. Having been defeated by Du Wanli, Quan Li became the leader of the Five Poison Seven Sons, uneasy at heart. Any chance he got, he sought to prove himself, hoping one day to regain significant status within the Five Poison Sect, otherwise how could he willingly remain under Du Wanli?

Dongfang Meng, already injured, had been flying with Tianshuang while carrying Ye Tianchen all day. She then exhausted all her Martial Arts True Power trying to heal Ye Tianchen. That she still had the strength to fight was remarkable, and she no longer had the energy to stop Quan Li. All she could do was watch helplessly as Quan Li pursued Tianshuang and Ye Tianchen. Fortunately, Tianshuang had managed to escape with the still unconscious Ye Tianchen. Hopefully, they would make it safely to the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect where the Divine Calculation could perhaps save Ye Tianchen. This was the only thought in Dongfang Meng’s mind.
