Chapter 332? On the Eve of the Storm

Chapter 332 The Eve of the Storm

"I'm sure I can hold him off for exactly three breaths!" Lin Yun said.

Seeing his confident expression, Bai Ke's doubts were dispelled.

"But we're still just a breath short... What should we do? Should I use my Jade Divine Sword to self-destruct?"

Feng Yu looked pained; he was extremely unwilling to do so. The treasure he had just acquired was about to be destroyed, which was even more painful than not having it at all.

"It's no use. The Jade Divine Sword is too high-grade. At most, I can only trigger the self-destruction of a low-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon. I can't do anything higher than that," Lin Yun said.

"Thank goodness..." Feng Yu patted his chest in relief, letting out a sigh of relief. But then he was met with disdainful looks from the crowd, which made him blush and cough as he said:

"Don't look at me like that. Time is of the essence. Let's think of a way to buy that old man a little more time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ke and Lin Yun both looked distressed. They had tried every possible method they could think of, so what other means could they possibly use to buy that last breath of time?

None of the three noticed that Tian Xin's expression was incredibly complex at that moment, and she was having a fierce internal struggle.

Throughout this journey, she has always played the role of the protected one, and her lowly strength has prevented her from helping them in any way during these high-level battles.

However, after each hard-fought battle, everyone would share the rewards with her, which made her feel increasingly guilty.

Every unearned gain carries a heavy psychological burden.

But unfortunately, she was the one with the fewest skills and the lowest combat power. She couldn't join the fierce battles along the way and could only helplessly watch Bai Ke and the others fight bloody battles.

She saw that they were in trouble, she saw the heavy and distressed expressions on their faces, and the guilt in her heart was magnified infinitely, constantly tormenting her soul!

"I don't want to just watch from the sidelines! I don't want to keep holding everyone back! I want to contribute my own strength to everyone!" Tian Xin roared in her heart.

After this intense internal struggle, she finally made up her mind, abruptly raised her head, and shouted loudly to Bai Ke and the others:

"I have a way to stall that old man for a moment!"

Upon hearing this, both Feng Yu and Lin Yun were stunned, looking at Tian Xin in disbelief. Bai Ke, overjoyed, rushed forward, grabbed Tian Xin's hand, and excitedly asked:

"Aunt Tian Xin, do you have any ideas?"

Seeing the glimmer of hope in Bai Ke's eyes, Tian Xin felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if stabbed by needles. She composed herself slightly and answered with difficulty:

"I can't reveal this method to you for now, but I guarantee with my life that my method will definitely buy him a moment's time!"

Bai Ke was completely bewildered upon hearing this. By now, his initial excitement at receiving the good news had worn off, and as he calmed down, he began to ponder inwardly:

"Tian Xin has been a nobody the whole way, but now she's suddenly making such a confident promise that she has a way. Could it be... that she wants to take me down with her?"

Thinking this, Bai Ke maintained a facade of complete trust, but his eyes had turned icy cold. He lowered his head to conceal his gaze, then asked softly:

"Aunt Tianxin, this matter concerns our lives and cannot be taken lightly. Are you sure that the method you can't tell us can really buy us a moment's time?"

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to make any boasts. I have my reasons. This method really can't be told, but it can definitely buy you a moment of peace!" Tian Xin replied solemnly.

While Tian Xin was answering, Bai Ke secretly activated the Evil Sword Immortal's evil spirit talent to probe her mental state, and the result surprised Bai Ke greatly.

No evil thoughts arose in Tian Xin's mind; on the contrary, an extremely firm positive emotion was constantly surging within her.

Because Bai Ke's evil spirit talent can only detect negative emotions, he was completely unaware of Tian Xin's unusually positive emotions.

However... since she doesn't have any bad intentions, let's trust her this once.

Thinking of this, Bai Ke's smile broadened, and he stared intently into Tian Xin's eyes, saying each word slowly and deliberately:

"I believe you, Aunt Tian Xin!"

Tian Xin returned his expression with a bitter smile. Bai Ke was unaware of the complex emotions contained in her expression—an indescribable struggle of pain.

"Elder Lin, Elder Feng, Aunt Tian Xin, get ready," Bai Ke instructed in a deep voice.

He then took the Mad Spirit Pill from Lin Yun and several bottles of Qi-replenishing Pills from Tian Xin. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened his eyes, frantically activating the Nine Transformations of Blood Qi!

Bai Ke's blood energy surged more than twenty times, eventually reaching the limit that his body could withstand, and he swallowed the Mad Spirit Pill in one gulp.

The medicinal effects quickly spread throughout his body, and his aura continued to rise. Starting from the early stage of the Golden Core realm, his cultivation level soared!

Late stage of Golden Core... Early stage of Primordial Spirit... Mid stage of Nascent Soul... Late stage of Nascent Soul, Great Perfection!

The powerful medicinal effects of the Mad Spirit Pill were completely absorbed by him at this moment, and his path of rising aura finally stopped at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

But Bai Ke's hands didn't stop! His blood energy had returned to its original level because it was being replenished by the Mad Spirit Pill. At this moment, he took out a Qi-replenishing pill and poured a bottle of pills into his mouth!

A continuous surge of spiritual energy erupted from his dantian, and Bai Ke felt his whole body filled with power!

He once again pushed his Blood Qi Nine Transformations to its highest point. The most crucial moment had arrived. Bai Ke roared, "Attention! It's about to begin!"

Lin Yun and the others nodded with extremely solemn expressions, preparing for battle.

"A blood sacrifice to the heavens!"

Bai Ke roared and desperately activated the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art. He slowly closed his eyes and raised his hands as if lifting a cauldron.

All the meridians in his body were trembling violently, and a blood-red spiritual energy was flowing rapidly through the meridians in an extremely strange way.

Instantly, the blood energy that had erupted from his body began to surge wildly and recede continuously. His spiritual power was also being frantically drained by the crimson spiritual energy within his meridians!

Suddenly, Bai Ke changed his movements, grabbing his right upper arm with his left hand and pointing his right hand directly at the old man in the distance.

Bai Ke suddenly laughed, a cruel smile curving his lips!

This is the starting stance for the second level of ultimate mystery!

Everyone suddenly felt a powerful energy surging within them!

A dazzling burst of blood-red light suddenly erupted from Bai Ke's body, and an overwhelming killing intent surged forth from the palm of his right hand like a burst dam!

The old man suddenly opened his eyes at that moment!

Everyone felt the terrifying pressure emanating from him, a pressure befitting a Mahayana cultivator...
