Chapter 78
Marrow Cultivation Pill
"It's just a Heavenly Thunder Particle, I didn't expect you to be able to withstand its attack." Han Li exhaled softly and said slowly.
Liu Jing and the others' expressions changed. They were well aware of the power of the Heavenly Thunder Seed, which was something that could kill even a Foundation Establishment cultivator if it touched it. Yet, the Yue Emperor had actually withstood it.
Either the opponent's defense is extremely strong, reducing the damage from the Heavenly Thunder Explosion to the extreme, or the opponent's cultivation level has surpassed the late Foundation Establishment stage and reached the Pseudo-Core Formation realm.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, a figure gradually became clear.
Upon seeing that figure, Liu Jing and the others unhesitatingly launched an attack using their magical artifacts. Regardless of how the opponent managed to block the Heavenly Thunder, he was definitely not at his peak condition. They understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot.
However, to everyone's surprise, just as their magical artifacts flew towards Emperor Yue, a flash of blood appeared on his body, and their magical artifacts lost contact with him.
As the smoke completely dissipated, the figure of the Yue Emperor was fully revealed, but his golden robes were now tattered and covered in bloodstains and dirt.
The magical artifacts of Liu Jing and the others floated motionless in the bloody light, having lost all their spiritual power.
"This blood-red light can corrupt magical artifacts. Stop using magical artifacts to attack. Use spells and talismans instead," Liu Jing said to the others with a grim expression.
Enraged, the others unleashed their own methods, throwing various spells and talismans at the Yue Emperor.
Seeing this, the Yue Emperor expressionlessly raised his hand and swept it in front of him, creating a massive blood-red light shield that blocked all the attacks. He then took out a small black bottle from his robes and poured out a pill the size of a longan.
This pill was entirely blood-red and emitted a pungent, bloody odor; it certainly didn't look like a good medicine.
But as the Yue Emperor swallowed the pill, the blood-red light on his body, which had become somewhat faint, suddenly intensified and became extremely dazzling again. At the same time, the various wounds on his body were rapidly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a short moment, he was restored to his perfect condition.
"What the hell? How can such a thing exist in this world?" Song Meng said in disbelief, forgetting to throw away the dozen or so ice spikes that had already taken shape in his hand.
"What he took was probably a Marrow Cultivation Pill, a life-saving elixir that can only be refined by cultivating several special demonic arts and being willing to damage one's own cultivation. Moreover, it can only be taken by the person taking it; it is a deadly poison to others," Zhong Weiniang explained to everyone with a furrowed brow.
Upon hearing this, the others felt a chill in their hearts. They had originally intended to take advantage of the opponent's injury and use their combined strength to kill him, but now the opponent had fully recovered thanks to the Marrow Refining Pill.
Just then, Emperor Yue waved his right hand, pulling the blood-red light screen back into his body. At the same time, the blood-red light on his body suddenly surged to two or three zhang thick, and the several magical artifacts within the blood-red light began to gradually melt away.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions turned even uglier. The two senior brothers that Chen Qiaoqian brought even began to back down. In their view, the Yue Emperor was no longer someone they could handle, so they naturally had to think about their own lives.
Emperor Yue glanced coldly at Li Yunfan and the others, then suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed at the air. Three beads of different colors flew from three different places and landed accurately in his hand.
"Some of you still have two Fiend Pills on you. If you hand them over now, I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll make you taste the bitterness of having your life essence drained." The Emperor Yue's eyes flashed with cold light as he slowly scanned Li Yunfan and the others.
Upon hearing the other party's words, apart from Li Yunfan and Han Li, Song Meng and the others were all stunned, not understanding what the other party meant by the Sha Dan. Only Liu Jing's expression changed, and he glanced at Li Yunfan and Han Li, as if he had figured something out.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! This person is clearly trying to mislead us. Ignore him and continue the attack!" Liu Jing shouted.
Li Yunfan glanced at Liu Jing with some surprise, then quickly realized the other man's purpose. Liu Jing was speaking up for him, expressing gratitude to Han Li for saving his life.
"Heh, it doesn't matter! Once I kill you all, I'll naturally find those two Demon Pills, so... you can die now!"
As the Yue Emperor finished speaking, a flash of bloodlust appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed at Han Li. A red light, as thick as a thumb, flashed and disappeared in an instant, arriving in front of Han Li in the blink of an eye.
The sudden attack startled Han Li, but he didn't seem to panic much. With a thought, two shield-like magical artifacts overlapped in front of him, and a cyan light shield appeared on his body at the same time. He then suddenly swayed to the side.
The next moment, he heard two soft "poof" sounds. Han Li stood up and looked, and found that the two magical artifacts had holes of the same size, which did not serve any purpose of defense.
Han Li thought to himself, "That was close!" If he had been a little slower in dodging, he probably would have had another hole in his body.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Yunfan with gratitude. It turned out that just as the Emperor Yue said those words, he heard Li Yunfan's reminder in his ear, telling him to move his body away.
Trusting his elder brother, he released two defensive magical artifacts, but still followed Li Yunfan's instructions and shifted his body to one side, thus successfully dodging the Yue Emperor's attack.
When Emperor Yue saw that his attack had failed to kill his opponent, he was extremely shocked. That was the "Blood Spirit Diamond" that he had condensed over decades, which had always been invincible in the past, but now it had failed to kill his opponent in one strike.
Now he only has one left in his body, which makes him hesitate: should he save it for future life-saving purposes, or use it now to kill others?
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Yunfan moved his lips slightly and began to transmit his thoughts to everyone present.
Upon hearing Li Yunfan's voice, Liu Jing and the others were initially taken aback, then looked at Han Li with somewhat strange expressions. Seeing him nod slightly, they finally believed him completely.
Then Han Li waved his hand and released ten puppets of different shapes, controlling them with his mind to simultaneously send out ten beams of light as thick as bowls toward Emperor Yue.
The Yue Emperor sneered at this, thinking to himself, "Do they think that having a few more puppets will be enough to harm me?"
However, the next moment, he saw Li Yunfan and the others turn around and fly away!
This startled him, but he immediately let out another cold laugh and was about to fly after them when suddenly the ten puppet beasts surrounded him.
