Ling Lan and Mu Jinyi had barely managed to injure Lord Qian, but it was not without a price.
In Ling Lan’s right hand, the moon and stars elements were corroding the spatial element she had applied on her hand. As for Mu Jinyi, the hand he had attacked had already become mangled. The moon and stars elements were also constantly damaging his arm.
Ling Lan lowered her head and shook her right hand, dispersing the stars and moon elements. At the same time, her spatial element dissipated.
At the same time, Ling Lan flipped her left wrist. Mu Jinyi, who was on the other side, suddenly extended his other hand.
A medicinal agent appeared in his hand.
When Mu Jinyi saw this familiar appearance, he knew what it was. Without asking, he poured it into his mouth.
A few seconds later, the originally mangled hand suddenly began to heal. The stars and moon elements that were corroding his arm seemed to encounter some obstruction as they separated from his arm.
Seeing this, Lord Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly. After sweeping his gaze over the medicinal agent, he looked at Ling Lan.
“What’s that?” It could actually restrain the elements of the divine domain. This was absolutely impossible.
“Medicinal agent,” Ling Lan said calmly.
Lord Qian’s eyes burned with rage. He didn’t believe that Ling Lan didn’t understand what he was asking. This answer was definitely intentional.
Ling Lan looked at Lord Qian indifferently, as if telling him that she was doing it on purpose. What could he do?
“Hahahahaha…” The angry Lord Qian laughed out loud. Mu Jinyi’s expression changed and he retreated hundreds of meters.
However, it was already too late. Lord Qian had already arrived in front of him and grabbed him by the throat.
In the blink of an eye, a black saber beam suddenly descended from the sky and slashed at Lord Qian’s hand that was grabbing Mu Jinyi’s throat.
When Lord Qian sensed the immense spatial power, he snorted coldly and flipped his wrist to grab the black saber that descended from the sky.
“Bam!” It was clearly just a hand making contact with a saber shadow, but it was like a huge mountain colliding. The immense energy produced caused the entire main hall to tremble violently.
“Your opponent is me!” The black saber-wielding Ling Lan looked at Lord Qian and said coldly.
“Don’t worry. None of you will be left alive,” Lord Qian said coldly.
“Senior Mu, leave this to me,” Ling Lan said calmly.
Mu Jinyi was stunned when he heard this. Although he had been secretly injured by Lord Qian that ended his cultivation, his old injuries had healed because of Ling Lan’s medicinal agent. At this moment, his strength had already recovered to the half-step god-realm. Although he still wasn’t Lord Qian’s match, with him assisting in the attack and interfering with the opponent, Ling Lan, who had already reached the god-realm and lacked some foundation, had a chance of winning.
However, if he left, Mu Jinyi was certain that defeat was Ling Lan’s only outcome.
“There are places elsewhere that need you more!” Ling Lan seemed to understand Mu Jinyi’s confusion. She swept her gaze over the secondary halls below. Although her expression remained indifferent, her eyes so calm that they seemed nonchalant about life and death, Mu Jinyi could actually sense the rich and surging emotions beneath Ling Lan’s calm.
In a split second, Mu Jinyi went through countless struggles deep down. In the end, he silently stomped his feet and vanished from the spot.
“I never expected you to be so naive as to let Mu Jinyi save those ants?” Lord Qian sneered. “It’s useless even if he rushes over now. They are either dead or crippled. It’s better to stay here. Perhaps you can live a little longer.”
“Do you know a law?” Ling Lan suddenly asked with a serious expression.
Lord Qian was stunned by Ling Lan’s sudden question.
“Law?”
“Yes. According to the law in novels, villains all die from talking too much,” Ling Lan answered seriously.
Lord Qian was puzzled before instantly understanding her words. “Die!”
The furious swipe was far more violent than the previous attacks.
Activate domain! Suddenly, Ling Lan’s surroundings turned pitch-black. There were no other elements around her.
“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam…” The elements of the moon and stars were like a tidal wave that rose higher and higher, slamming fiercely at the domain Ling Lan had activated.
Every time they collided, Ling Lan couldn’t help but move backwards. By the time this wave of attacks passed, Ling Lan was actually forced back several hundred meters.
The attack might only be instantaneous, passing in the blink of an eye. However, only those who experienced it knew how painful and difficult it was to withstand this wave of attack.
“Cough, cough.” Ling Lan couldn’t help but cough out mouthfuls of blood.
“Could it be that Ling Lan doesn’t have a chance?” The nine instructors had been watching this battle the entire time. Seeing Ling Lan heavily injured, Number Nine couldn’t help but voice out the question on her mind.
Everyone was silent. Based on the current situation, Ling Lan was indeed hopeless.
Number Nine refused to give up and looked at Number Five. Number Five was speechless. He could only turn his face away, not daring to look at her anxious, helpless, and teary face.
“Number One!” Number Nine looked at Number One in pain.
Number One, who had been closing his eyes as though he no longer cared about anything, finally opened them.
“Number Nine, you need to cultivate again,” Number One said calmly.
“You can punish me however you want in the future. I just want to know if Ling Lan still has a chance,” Number Nine could no longer control her emotions and shouted.
“So what if there’s no chance? So what if there’s a chance?” Number One said coldly.
“If there’s no chance, I’ll accompany her.” Number Nine looked at Number One coldly, her eyes resolute.
Number One stared coldly at Number Nine, whereas Number Nine looked stubbornly at Number One.
Number One slowly raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Number Nine. Number Nine took a step forward without any fear.
“Pa!” With a hand chop, he knocked out Number Nine. Number Five helped Number Nine and smiled apologetically. “Number One, Number Nine’s mood is unstable. I’ll calm her down first.”
Number One stared coldly at Number Five. Just as Number Five felt that he was about to be killed by Number One’s gaze, he heard Number One say, “Number Four, take Number Nine to sober up.”
“Got it.” Number Four smiled charmingly and took Number Nine from Number Five’s hands in the blink of an eye before disappearing.
Number Five quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to focus his attention on the battlefield outside, he heard Number One’s voice. “In the future, stay away from Number Nine.”
“Ah?” Number Five suddenly turned his head and saw that Number One had already closed his eyes, as if the voice just now was a mere illusion.
Was he hallucinating?
“Ling Lan’s chance lies in death.” Number One’s voice rang in everyone’s ears.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that, but they quickly understood.
“Then this opportunity is equivalent to not existing.” Number Three wailed.
“That might not be the case.” Number Five’s eyes lit up, having studied the instantaneous moment of life and death all these years.
“Is that so? But how do we find life after death?” Number Two also felt that this was a conundrum.
Number One opened his eyes again and looked at Ling Lan who was still struggling outside. Worry flashed across his eyes.
Ling Lan, Profound Insight isn’t that simple. In this battle, life and death depends on whether you can grasp another profundity of Profound Insight.
