Chapter 212: Sister Will Give You Her Body

Zhang Tianhua can control multiple magical artifacts at the same time, which is very rare among mid-Gather Spirit cultivators. It is unknown what methods he used to support this or whether his cultivation method is special.

Li Hui felt a chill in his heart and quickly stepped forward. He heard a loud explosion, and pain shot through his left arm. There was no time to check the injury as he threw out a Lightning Sword Talisman and continued to use the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique to delay his opponent’s actions.

“Hmph, I know you can tear through magical artifacts, but I never expected you could tear through treasures!” Zhang Tianhua sneered, “Fine, as your senior brother, giving you a few treasures is nothing!”

Just as he finished speaking, two magical artifacts erupted and crashed toward Li Hui with a roar.

The self-detonation of magical artifacts is immensely powerful. Although they are not of high grade, they still produced blinding flames and exuded tremendous force outward.

The booming sound was deafening. In a critical moment, Li Hui activated the dragon pattern and recited a Buddhist incantation to don his Vajra Armor. He also activated two Nine Patterns Three Exotics Fire Wall Talismans from his sleeves, then floated backward.

The two fire wall talismans were traded from Jin Mingyang; little did he expect he would use them so soon for survival. Better to have something than nothing.

With loud bangs, the fire walls shattered, the golden armor collapsed, and the dragon pattern broke apart. Li Hui spat out a mouthful of blood as he slid across the water’s surface.

The red thorn lifted, blocking the flames.

Lian Luosha gracefully gestured, as she stripped off Li Hui’s dark shirt and wrapped it around herself like lightning. She pouted and said, “Silly boy, couldn’t you have sent me a garment first instead of risking your life against that flower thief? Ugh, think a little, okay? Are you hurt badly?”

“Cough, cough, it’s manageable, I can hold on,” Li Hui rubbed his chest. He wished he could be calm, but Zhang Tianhua was adopting a posture as if he were about to force himself on him without any consideration.

Perhaps it was the silver snake bracelet enhancing the two fire wall talismans that reduced most of the flame’s impact; thus, despite the seeming chaos, after recuperating through the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays, his injuries were minor.

“I am indeed hurt, and it’s pretty serious,” Lian Luosha said, wrapping the red thorn around her arms and sighed, “Junior Brother, there’s no such thing as a banquet that does not end. I am now giving you my body. Zhang Tianhua has a peculiar constitution; he is well-suited to practice certain special methods of the Hongmo Sect. If he joins the demonic sect, it will surely be a disaster, so…”

“Boom!” The red thorn instantly spread out, casting a heavy crimson hue everywhere.

Lian Luosha suddenly embraced Li Hui and whispered in his ear, “Help me take good care of this body, and don’t let anyone see it, especially that Qian Qiu Yue. Remember, no mischief! At most, we can flirt a bit. Hehe, if you’re bold enough, touching is not out of the question, but I fear you may lack that courage.”

“Senior Brother, I keep my body as pure as jade, and I haven’t thought about a partner…” Li Hui’s face turned crimson as he considered how to refuse her when he felt the soft warmth and fragrance of her body closely against him.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The clamor startled Li Hui awake. He held Lian Luosha, feeling the warmth and elasticity of her delicate body, but her vitality was gradually fading. If not for the faint breath, he would have thought she was dead.

“No, this… this isn’t her true body?”

Li Hui was as shocked as could be, a thought flashing through his mind: “Senior Sister Lian specifically mentioned Qian Qiu Yue, cautioning me not to let her see this body. It seems like Senior Sister Yue might not have her true body either. Who would believe they have no relation? In this day and age, female cultivators know how to play tricks; she just put me in a big mess, making me think Senior Sister Lian wanted to entrust her life to me!”

Zhang Tianhua roared, “I will return! Li Hui, you’ve ruined my plans; I’ll crush your bones to ashes. Just wait until I shove you into the eye of the tornado!”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” The whistling sound emerged, as the red thorn magical treasure chased after him.

Li Hui still held the delicate body carefully and gently placed it into the Bamboo Box, thinking, “I’ll return this body to Senior Sister Lian later; it must be extraordinary. I can’t let it meet the same fate as that pile of powder last time. But where should I go to trace her whereabouts? Could she also be a disciple of the Heart Refining Branch of the Great Xia Jin Tian Sect?”

There was no time to think more, and he hurriedly sped along the ground.

Next, Li Hui occasionally took out the Jade Heart of the Earth Court to perceive the axis of the earth. In ten days, the Hongmo Sect would launch a third assault on the island, and he did not know how many changes would arise from it. Perhaps Wan Nest Island would sink into the sea soon, so he had to speed up to determine the accurate position.

During his search for the earth axis, he solemnly buried fifty-six Nine Patterns monster-conjuring talismans into the Bamboo Box, indicating that in one month, the peach tree demon would emerge, just as its lifespan was coming to an end.

Currently, he still had one concern: through Fuyi Hall divination, it was revealed that when the peach tree turned into a demon, it would bear peach fruits, and the more Wood Spirit energy invested, the better the results. Although the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays attracted spiritual energy, they had stored far too little in the Bamboo Box.

He had exchanged some Wood Miao Jade from Jin Mingyang and Qian Duohai, but the quantity was too small—just a drop in the bucket. Time was pressing, and he didn’t know where to look for more Wood Miao Jade. Missing this opportunity could mean losing several years of life, making him feel a bit downhearted.

After searching for three days and avoiding countless monster attacks, when Li Hui passed by a collapsed gigantic nest, the Jade Heart of the Earth Court suddenly emitted a faint green light outward.

“Great! Finally, there’s a reaction!” Li Hui was overjoyed as he quickly maneuvered left and right to see which direction had a stronger response.

It wasn’t long before he confirmed that the earth axis lay to the east.

Li Hui dared not be lax and hastened his pace. He saw ancient trees towering skyward, their branches full of nests, truly worthy of the name Wan Nest Island.

Nourished by the spiritual energy, the closer he got to the island’s core, the stronger the variety of spiritual beasts became. If he encountered swarms of insects, he must not hesitate and should quickly turn and flee.

Trembling with fear, he stepped into the core area, where it remarkably maintained the original appearance of Wan Nest Island. Whether during the first or second assaults, with the magic walls, Blood Thorns, and the debris from Corpse Island, everything had vanished without a trace. In surrounding areas, corpse beasts fell, launching a frenzied attack on the core area, dying in batches and piling up into towering mountains of corpses.

Li Hui felt a ripple of spiritual sense and quickly adjusted his breathing.

The Demon Cultivating Army of the Hongmo Sect was here; compared to them, Hongmo Chu and Hongmo Jiu were just small fry, hardly worth mentioning.

Looking around, a large clearing had been cut in the dense forest, flags flying, demonic mist rolling, and countless blood banners flew, with innumerable rare birds and strange beasts lying around. Surrounding the camp were countless demonic flame chariots. He couldn’t tell how many Bosa stage and Myriad Forms Stage demon cultivators there were; ordinary Condense Essence cultivators had become mere fodder to feed these rare birds and beasts.

“Fire!” a loud roar rang out from somewhere, and immediately after, all the fearsome war chariots shot out black light, booming loudly as they attacked the distance. The wind howled, and the trees shook, visible mushroom clouds rising into the sky. Even standing far away, one could feel an unsettling heart-stopping aura.

“Oh my goodness! High-level cultivators militarized, what tremendous power this must be! Who knows how many large camps exist here? Bad news, if I want to reach the earth axis, I must cross the battlefield.”
