Chapter 1663: Chapter 1660: Three-Month Life Extension Pill

Nan Chu Dynasty, a certain barren mountain!

Lin Bai lay on the ground, covered in blood. The meridians and bones in his body were completely shattered, his expression despondent, his face pale. His eyes were fixed on the five dark shadows approaching from ahead.

These five were Dong Qian, the Holy Guardian Supreme of the Saint Seal Sect, and Yejian Jun, the Junior Sword Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

The remaining three consisted of a peak-level strongman from the Fenxin Sect, an unparalleled old monster from the Luotian Sect, and a cold, indifferent blade cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect!

"Dongfang Bai, your talent is extraordinary, unmatched in sword art, but your spiritual energy is too surging, and you do not know how to temper your sharpness. Today, you’ve found yourself in this plight—it’s your own doing!"

The bald man from the Fenxin Sect spoke coldly.

"Cough, cough!" Lin Bai coughed violently twice and said to the five in front of him, "My heart pulse is already shattered. I’ll die in less than three hours. Now, can you tell me... just who are you?"

Though Lin Bai recognized Yejian Jun and Dong Qian, the other three were unfamiliar to him. Before dying, Lin Bai coldly inquired.

"Hmph. After you descend to hell, you can ask Yama," the black-robed man from the Luotian Sect said eerily. Without hesitation, he raised his hand abruptly and struck down toward Lin Bai’s head.

A single palm held immense, devastating force. If it landed, Lin Bai’s head would shatter instantly!

Lin Bai sighed lightly and collapsed onto the ground, ceasing all resistance. His body’s bones and meridians were shattered, and even his spiritual energy was completely depleted. Lin Bai no longer had any strength left to fight back!

At that moment, radiant sword lights streaked forth from a distance!

Swish, swish, swish—

From the endless clouds above the sky, dozens of shadows charged forward furiously.

"Who dares to assassinate the Junior Sword Master of my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!" The leading old man bellowed coldly. His voice thundered through the heavens and earth, shaking the ground with an overwhelming sword aura.

Yejian Jun’s expression stiffened, and he quickly retreated.

Dong Qian and the remaining black-clad individuals also swiftly withdrew!

"It’s Sui An, the Peak Master of the First Peak of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"Not just him; all the Peak Masters of the top twenty peaks of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect have come!"

"Damn it!"

"Forget it. Dongfang Bai’s heart pulse is already broken—he’ll be dead in less than three hours anyway. In that case, we’ll leave his corpse for the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to deal with."

"Let’s move!"

After contemplating briefly, the five individuals simultaneously utilized their movement techniques to leave the area.

Yejian Jun also followed suit, unwilling to let the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect discover his presence. Besides, if they found out he had come to assassinate Dongfang Bai, even the Sect Leader wouldn’t easily forgive him!

Sui An and Gui Jing both approached swiftly. Watching the five others scatter in different directions, Sui An coldly commanded, "Pursue them! Alive, we need to see the person; dead, we need to see the corpse. I want to see who’s bold enough to provoke my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

At his command, the other Peak Masters chased after the five fleeing individuals.

Sui An and Gui Jing hurriedly approached Lin Bai, who had already fallen unconscious.

Gui Jing inspected Lin Bai’s injuries and turned pale. He quickly retrieved an elixir pill from his storage bag and administered it to Lin Bai.

Sui An asked, "Gui Jing, how is he?"

Gui Jing looked at Sui An and replied, "The heart pulse is shattered... I’m afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Sui An clenched his fists tightly and said coldly, "Let Dongfang Bai live for now. Take him back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and see if we have any miraculous elixirs that can restore his heart pulse!"

Gui Jing nodded and immediately carried Lin Bai away, heading straight for the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

For three days and nights, Gui Jing and Sui An tirelessly used their spiritual energy to sustain Lin Bai’s life, continuously traveling day and night. Finally, they arrived at the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

When the Sect Leader heard that Dongfang Bai was on the brink of death, he was enraged, unleashing a single sword strike that split the Sword Master Hall apart!

Lin Bai was sent to Little Spirit Stream, surrounded by the seventy-two sword cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain around the bamboo house!

On this day, the Sect Leader and Sui An arrived at Little Spirit Stream.

"Greetings to the Sword Master."

"Greetings to Elder Sui An!"

"Sect Leader Sword Master, do we have any means to save Senior Brother Dongfang..." Sui An asked urgently.

The Sect Leader’s expression grew cold, and he said nothing.

Sui An continued, "We’ve purchased a pill from Tianbao Tower—it’s called the Three-Month Life Extension Pill."

"Once consumed, regardless of the severity of the injuries, it can keep a warrior alive for three months. But after three months... not even an immortal can save them!"

Sui An spoke faintly.

"Is there no other way?" Nie Xiong asked in disbelief.

Sui An slightly shook his head and explained, "His bones and meridians are all broken, his heart pulse destroyed. On the journey here, Gui Jing and I had to use spiritual energy to sustain his life. That’s the only reason he’s still alive now!"

"But to completely heal him is utterly impossible!"

"Even if a god descended to heal his injuries, he’d remain a cripple!"

The seventy-two sword cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain looked pained; some even sobbed outright.

The Sect Leader entered the bamboo house, and upon seeing Lin Bai lying on the bed, his expression softened with a trace of regret.

"Sect Leader Sword Master!" Lin Bai, lying on the bed, seemed remarkably calm. When he saw the Sect Leader walk in, he even managed to force a faint smile.

The Sect Leader went to Lin Bai’s side and injected a stream of spiritual energy into him, forcefully sustaining Lin Bai’s life!

The Sect Leader said, "I told you not to act recklessly, yet you refused to listen!"

"Come now, tell me—who was involved?"

Lin Bai offered a faint bitter smile and shook his head.

The Sect Leader remarked, "Since you won’t speak, then I will."

"Saint Seal Sect? Fenxin Sect? Luotian Sect? Heavenly Sword Sect?"

The Sect Leader spoke indifferently.

Lin Bai smirked faintly and said, "Sect Leader Sword Master, I’ve heard you’ve acquired the Three-Month Life Extension Pill? Is that true?"

The Sect Leader replied, "Once consumed, it will grant you another three months of life. But it’s also an incurable poison—three months from now, even an immortal can’t save you!"

"Give it to me," Lin Bai said. "Three months is more than enough!"

The Sect Leader exclaimed, "Did you hear what I just said? This pill gives you only three months—after that, you’ll certainly die! Right now, you’re still alive; I can continue using spiritual energy to keep you going!"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "It’s unnecessary. Three months is plenty of time—he should arrive by then."

The Sect Leader frowned at Lin Bai in confusion.

Lin Bai grimly smiled and explained, "Sword Master, though my time in the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has been brief, you’ve shown me great care. If the sect were to face peril one day, as long as I still drew breath, I would return wholeheartedly!"

The Sect Leader narrowed his eyes at Lin Bai. With a solemn expression, he retrieved a pill from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Bai, saying, "This is the Three-Month Life Extension Pill..."

"Think carefully before you consume it..."

Before the Sect Leader could finish speaking, Lin Bai abruptly swallowed the pill!

Seeing this, the Sect Leader sighed deeply, his expression sorrowful. Without lingering, he left the bamboo house and departed Little Spirit Stream.

Within a few short days, rumors spread across the Lingnan Continent—stories of a shocking tale...
