Chapter 234 Cultivation Abandoned
The Bald Eagle King suffered severe injuries and continued to flee, launching a frenzied attack on Yun Chen and Qin Xi.
Even at this moment, driven to the brink of despair, it went completely mad, opening its mouth to spit out a small, blood-red sword, its entire body crystal clear, like a ruby, less than a foot long.
Without a doubt, this strange little sword is a powerful weapon. The White-headed Eagle King has nurtured it with his own blood essence for a hundred years and has never used it, not even in the most dangerous situation just now.
But at this moment, it drew this sword.
The small sword revealed its true form; it was a foot long, its entire body a blood-red, crystalline color, as if it were formed from fresh blood. Furthermore, the blade was engraved with strange and mysterious runes, resembling sacrificial patterns. The moment it was unleashed by the White-headed Eagle King, its speed vanished, and it hurtled towards Yun Chen and Qin Xi with incredible speed.
In an instant, Yun Chen and Qin Xi felt a chill run through their bodies, and felt a terror they had never felt before.
call out!
The small, blood-red sword flew out and pierced towards Yun Chen's brow. It was so fast that he couldn't react in time.
Qin Xi suddenly swooped down from above, instantly appearing above Yun Chen and shoving him away!
*Pfft!*
Qin Xi was struck; the blood-red dagger was indestructible and pierced straight through her chest.
"ah!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Yun Chen's eyes turned bloodshot, and he went completely berserk, charging forward.
"Go to hell!"
The White-headed Eagle King roared. Although it had suffered heavy injuries, it was still a Golden Core Realm Great Perfection cultivator. At this moment, it struggled desperately, and it was extremely frantic, like a drug dealer with nowhere to turn, completely disregarding its own life.
At this moment, Yun Chen unleashed a power far exceeding his original level, fiercely battling the White-headed Eagle King. In the end, he swung his blood-red spear with great force, piercing the king's head with a single thrust, shattering it on the spot!
Yun Chen swung his spear, unleashing a powerful tremor!
The Bald Eagle King let out a final wail as its head exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist. It was completely killed, and its blood-soaked, headless body crashed heavily onto the mountain forest like a cannonball.
After Qin Xi was pierced through the chest by the blood-red sword, she fell from the sky and landed lightly on the ground like a fallen leaf. She forced herself to sit up, opened her eyes wide, and felt her magic power dissipating and her life force rapidly fading away.
A two-finger-wide hole appeared in her chest, running from front to back, from which blood kept gushing out. She barely managed to use her magic to stop the bleeding, but then her magic dissipated.
This injury is too serious.
The power of that blood-red dagger was too strange.
"what!"
Yun Chen released his spear and landed on the ground, his eyes bloodshot. He had gone completely mad and rushed to Qin Xi's side, picking her up in his arms.
Although he was heartbroken and grief-stricken, he did not lose his composure. He immediately took out one elixir after another and gave it to Qin Xi to swallow, trying to stabilize her condition.
Qin Xi, her life force weakened, gently reached out and touched Yun Chen's face, asking, "Has the bald eagle been dealt with?"
"It's over, it's completely dead." Yun Chen stopped the injury to Qin Xi's chest and continuously channeled his magic power into Qin Xi's body to maintain her weak life force. He said, "Xi Xi, don't speak yet. I'll heal you now. Hang in there."
Qin Xi said weakly, "I won't give up, but... I'm so tired right now, I really want to sleep!"
Yun Chen said, "Watch me, and whatever you do, don't fall asleep!"
At this moment, the elixirs that Yun Chen had given Qin Xi took effect, temporarily sustaining her life.
This time, Qin Xi's injury was quite unusual.
That blood-red sword was too strange. After piercing through Qin Xi's body, it not only instantly drained Qin Xi's essence, energy, and spirit, but also severely damaged Qin Xi's physical body and primordial spirit.
Yun Chen also noticed this. After stabilizing Qin Xi's condition, he immediately found the small sword that had gone out of control.
Qin Xi eventually fell into a coma.
With a flick of his sleeve, Yun Chen burned the bald eagle's corpse, collected all the items it had left behind, and then, carrying Qin Xi, flew into a cave.
He killed the minor demons here, then sat down with Qin Xi in his arms, his divine sense enveloping her entire body, constantly monitoring her condition.
Three days later, his mood became increasingly heavy.
Because Qin Xi's golden core had dissipated, turning into a chaotic mass of energy, leaving her extremely weak in terms of vitality and spirit.
This is very bad news.
For the past three days, Yun Chen has been studying the blood sword. He has searched through all the scriptures and records he has learned, trying to find information related to the blood sword.
This is similar to the situation where, if you are bitten by a venomous snake, the first thing you need to do is find out what kind of snake it is so that you can find the appropriate antivenom.
Yun Chen wanted to find out the relevant records about this sword so that he could learn how to recover after being injured by such a magical weapon.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find it.
Therefore, he could only stabilize Qin Xi's condition, and then broke into the White Eagle King's cave to search for those ancient scriptures, which he finally found in a huge underground palace.
He quickly scanned through a large number of scriptures, searching for records related to this blood sword, and finally, after some time, he found it.
"Nine Revolutions Soul-Destroying Sword"
An ancient scripture clearly records information related to this blood-red sword. To cultivate this sword, the cultivator must nourish it with their own heart's blood. The longer the time, the greater its power. Those injured by this sword will have all their blood and energy drained. Even if they don't die, their cultivation will be completely ruined.
However, there is no record of how to deal with it after being infected.
Yun Chen's mood became very heavy.
He then consulted numerous scriptures, hoping to find other relevant records, to see if there were any accounts of previous victims who had fallen victim to this disease and how it was dealt with, but he found no relevant cases.
Qin Xi's current situation is indeed not good.
Yun Chen put down the scriptures, returned to his cave, picked up the unconscious Qin Xi, and used his own internal energy to heal her.
Seven days later, Qin Xi slowly opened her eyes.
After learning about her situation, she wasn't saddened, but instead gave Yun Chen a gentle smile.
Yun Chen reached out and hugged her tightly.
Qin Xi spoke, her voice tinged with apology: "I'm sorry, I dragged you down!"
Yun Chen comforted her with heartache, "No, you're amazing, we're all great, it's just that I didn't protect you well."
He knew that if Qin Xi hadn't pushed him away and blocked that attack for him, he would have had his head pierced by the Nine Revolutions Soul-Destroying Sword. That wouldn't have meant being crippled, but rather dying outright.
Qin Xi asked, "Have all the scriptures been found?"
Yun Chen nodded: "Found them, they're all in the underground palace."
Qin Xi, her face pale, nodded with a smile.
Yun Chen felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He held her tightly and lowered his head to rub her forehead: "I'll take you home now."
Qin Xi nodded: "Okay, let's go home."
Her eyes reddened, knowing she was finished. She was naturally filled with resentment, but this outcome was irreversible.
Yun Chen picked her up in his arms and said, "Let's go."
Yun Chen carried her out of the mountain range and left.
This underground palace is very well hidden, and ordinary people would not be able to find it. They are not worried about the scriptures being stolen by others, because they will eventually return to the immortals.
