Chapter 1545: Chapter 1542: Can’t Escape This Calamity!

Lin Bai held Yue Qing, speeding towards the outside of Wuji Mountain Manor.

Looking down, he saw that Yue Qing in his arms had a pale face, her eyes scattered, looking like she was on the verge of death.

Lin Bai separated a strand of Spiritual Power to examine Yue Qing’s injuries, his eyes turning cold as he said softly, "This Li Zong’s attack was really ruthless, his sword actually cut off seven of her main meridians!"

A person has twelve main meridians, and Li Zong’s sword just now had cut off seven of them, causing Yue Qing to lose her combat ability in a short period of time and to bleed incessantly.

Lin Bai couldn’t help but lament, warriors like Li Zong who frequently roam between life and death are most adept at delivering fatal blows with a single sword strike.

His sword strike, although it did not kill Yue Qing directly, it severed her meridians, causing her to lose her combat ability. If Lin Bai had not appeared in time, Li Zong’s second sword strike would have easily killed Yue Qing.

Lin Bai, carrying Yue Qing, flew over the clouds and looked down to see that within Wuji Mountain Manor, there were warriors from the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce led by Li Zong and Lang Ning, who were frantically searching for Lin Bai and Yue Qing’s whereabouts.

"Where are you taking me?"

In Lin Bai’s arms, Yue Qing asked weakly.

Lin Bai’s gaze grew serious as he said, "Your cousin Yue Hua really values you. Just for the pursuit of arresting you, there are more than a hundred warriors, and more than a thousand strong ones have been arranged within Wuji Mountain Manor to prevent you from escaping."

"This place isn’t anywhere good, and you are seriously injured now. I have the capability to fight my way out, but you probably can’t escape from Li Zong’s sword."

"It seems that Li Zong has some connections with the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

"Let me first get you out of here."

Lin Bai’s face darkened as he said.

"What about Housekeeper Zhuo Yi?" Yue Qing asked weakly.

"Him? I hope he has his own fortunes by Heaven." Lin Bai said indifferently: "However, I don’t mean to criticize you, but being at the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm, how could you not block even a single sword strike from Li Zong?"

"You businessmen, don’t just think about making money all the time, at least try to improve your strength now and then!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Qing immediately disregarded the injuries on her body and struggled in Lin Bai’s arms, seemingly trying to break free.

"What are you trying to do?" Lin Bai asked.

"Let me go, I need to go back and save Housekeeper Zhuo Yi!" Yue Qing said.

As Yue Qing struggled, her internal Spiritual Power operated, causing her injuries to worsen and blood gushed out violently.

Lin Bai said, "If I let you go now, before you find Zhuo Yi, your blood will have drained dry. Moreover, with a thousand experts here, even if you were at your peak, you might still struggle to escape, let alone now when you are severely injured!"

Yue Qing coldly said, "Even if you don’t let me go back, I won’t live long anyway. Li Zong’s Survival Sword is forged from the seventh-ranked Poison Divine Iron on the Divine Iron Ranking. Anyone wounded by the Survival Sword will have their flesh and bones turn to pus and blood within seven days."

"You might as well let me go back now, I might still be able to save Zhuo Yi."

Upon hearing Yue Qing’s words, Lin Bai’s gaze sharpened instantly, looking down at the dozen wounds on Yue Qing’s body. Indeed, there was not even a slight sign of healing on the wounds, and the blood flowing from the wounds had gradually turned pitch black.

These were obvious signs of poisoning.

"Is there really no way to cure this severe poison?" Lin Bai asked surprisingly.

"There is." Yue Qing said softly, "To neutralize the poison from the Survival Sword is simple; just let the Survival Sword actively absorb back the poison. Besides that, there is no other way."

"Survival Sword, now do you understand why this sword is called the Survival Sword?"

"Because everyone who gets stabbed by the Survival Sword, no matter their state or level, must kneel before Li Zong and beg bitterly, otherwise, there is only the path of death!"

Yue Qing said indifferently.

After hearing this, Lin Bai’s face showed a trace of solemnity, and he spoke lightly, "I just took a look at Housekeeper Zhuo Yi’s injury; his heart meridian has been shattered. Although he’s desperately sustaining it with Spiritual Power, even if you go back and save him, he won’t live past three hours."

Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Yue Qing weakly leaned into Lin Bai’s embrace, and the fluctuating Spiritual Power inside her subsided.

Lin Bai lowered his head to see a tear streaming down from the corner of Yue Qing’s eyes.

Her crying face was so heart-wrenching.

"He was a good servant," Lin Bai said softly to comfort her.

"He is the last of my kin in this world," Yue Qing said lightly.

"Let’s not talk, I need to get you out of here first," Lin Bai’s gaze turned cold as he noticed several warriors had discovered his tracks and were now pursuing him to kill.

Lin Bai carried Yue Qing and rushed out from Wuji Mountain Manor at an increased speed.

Just as Lin Bai was about to leave Wuji Mountain Manor with Yue Qing in his arms.

Suddenly, Lin Bai halted his steps as he sensed an incredibly fierce murderous intention, like a wolf or tiger, pouncing forward.

Lin Bai looked up, and there was Li Zong unexpectedly appearing in front of him.

"Li Zong," Lin Bai said with a light chuckle, "Are you born in the year of the dog? So many warriors didn’t notice my presence, yet you managed to track me down by scent alone."

Li Zong’s eyes coldly responded, "You just performed the Devouring Sun Sword Skill, are you a Purple Robe Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?"

Lin Bai laughed lightly, "Then you also performed the Thousand Shadow Illusion Sword just now, aren’t you also a Purple Robe Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?"

The Thousand Shadow Illusion Sword and the Devouring Sun Sword Skill, both legendary sword skills stored within the Purple Robe Pavilion of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, can only be accessed by Purple Robe Disciples of the sect.

Lin Bai and Li Zong instantly recognized that they were both Purple Robe Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

"Let me go, out of respect that we are fellow sect disciples, I will spare your life today," Lin Bai stated coldly as he stared at Li Zong.

"Hmph," Li Zong snorted disdainfully, "Fellow sect disciples? That Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is a disgraceful and dirty place, and joining it was the shame of my life, Li Zong."

"After I left the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, I swore a poisonous oath that if I am ever fortunate enough to encounter a disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, I must kill on sight."

In Li Zong’s hand, the Survival Sword emitted an overwhelming Sword Intention, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, seemingly holding an ineffable hatred against all disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

The Survival Sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling and sharp Sword Aura.

Suddenly, Li Zong swung his hand, and a cold chilling sword light broke through the air, slashing directly towards Lin Bai’s face.

With one sword move, a thousand shadows followed.

Countless sword shadows slashed down from the sky, nearly cutting off all Lin Bai’s avenues of retreat!

"Thousand Shadow Illusion Sword! Sword Shadow Cage!" Li Zong’s gaze was extremely harsh as he furiously slashed down with his sword.
