From the fake emperor to the concubine

Jian Shisan was certain that when he came to rescue the boy just now, his abdomen was pierced by the monster's sharp claws.

This attack definitely damaged his internal organs.

Jian Shisan could even clearly see a small piece of intestine hanging on the tip of the claw, shining strangely in the sunlight.

This was definitely an injury that could be fatal. Based on Jian Shisan's experience, even if the person didn't die from such an injury, he would have to stay in bed for at least half a year.

But... Zheng Yi is still alive and well now.

He moved as agilely as usual, showing no signs of injury at all.

Not only that, his injuries had recovered in such a short time.

Even if this kid took the elixir, he wouldn't recover so quickly.

Jian Shisan thought to himself that he had seen many healing medicines, but he had never seen such amazing effects.

Could it be that he had some special physique? He carefully observed Zheng Yi's every move, trying to find clues.

This situation is rare, indeed it is, but it is not too surprising either.

As long as people have the qualifications to practice, most of them are different from ordinary people and always have special abilities of one kind or another.

Some people are born with supernatural powers, some have excellent eyesight, and some can control water and fire without any practice.

But even so, it's not justifiable to have such a terrifying recovery ability.

Jian Shisan had the most amazing healing physique he had ever seen. Without taking any medicinal pills, his recovery speed was only one or two times faster than that of others.

Others would need three months to recover from their injuries, but he would only need one and a half months at most. If he took the elixir, he would probably be back to normal in less than a month.

But Zheng Yi's recovery speed was as if time had flown backwards for him. If the current conditions did not allow it, Jian Shisan would have wanted to ask Zheng Yi how he did it.

Although those monsters were startled by Jian Shisan's sword energy, they quickly rushed up again.

They let out shrill roars, and turbid saliva dripped from between their fangs, corroding small pits on the ground.

Strictly speaking, these monsters are not that powerful. They move slowly and have a single moveset, but they are just strong and can take a beating.

The trouble is, there are enough of them.

Looking around, the Hehuan Sect was surrounded by these mountains of flesh.

If he wasn't careful, even Jian Shisan might die here.

Jian Shisan clenched the sword in his hand, and the cold light flowing on the blade reflected his solemn expression.

This was not the most troublesome thing. What really troubled Zheng Yi and Jian Shisan was that the Eye Demon, the extraterritorial demon, was also busy.

The huge single eye in the sky keeps turning, and every blink releases new monsters.

The two of them fought hard to kill a few of them, but the extraterritorial demons immediately replenished their forces and smashed their eyeballs to the ground, causing several small-scale earthquakes.

The eyeballs burst the moment they touched the ground, and new monsters crawled out of the sticky liquid.

Zheng Yi and Jian Shisan had to stand back to back, watching vigilantly as more and more enemies appeared around them.

After Zheng Yi explained the pros and cons, the extraterritorial demon also knew that if he recklessly threw those tumor monsters into the East Wilderness, once it caused the East Wilderness to collapse, he would definitely suffer the backlash of cause and effect.

The huge single eye in the sky narrowed slightly, and the light flickered, obviously planning something bad.

After the extraterritorial demon's single eye flashed several times, he quickly figured out a countermeasure. Since the number could not be increased, after those monsters died, he could add another one, and it would not have any impact on the Eastern Wilderness.

This idea made it excited, and dense bloodshot appeared on the whites of its eyes, and the entire eyeball glowed with a strange red light.

Even if those monsters have the power to influence the Eastern Wasteland, but when people die... or monsters die, it's like a light going out, and the power will naturally dissipate between heaven and earth.

"How do we fight this..." Jian Shisan was dumbfounded and asked subconsciously. His hand holding the sword was shaking slightly, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. The situation in front of him made even this experienced swordsman feel powerless.

The number of enemies won't decrease, so it's useless to kill them.

Jian Shisan didn't expect Zheng Yi to give any answer, he just wanted to vent his frustration.

He glanced at the battlefield and saw that there were still forty-nine monsters on the battlefield. He secretly calculated in his mind how long they could hold out.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yi did not seem worried at all. Instead, he said confidently, "Don't worry. I believe reinforcements will arrive soon."

When he said this, there was a mysterious smile on his lips and a determined light in his eyes, as if he had anticipated everything.

Jian Shisan's eyes lit up: "You have arranged reinforcements? Speaking of which, there are indeed fewer people in the Hehuan Sect. Have you asked them to go and get help?" He looked around and indeed found that the elders of the Hehuan Sect who were supposed to be here were nowhere to be seen, and a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart.

Zheng Yi looked at Jian Shisan as if he were a fool: "How is it possible? Those people just saw that the situation of Hehuan Sect was critical, so they abandoned the sect and ran away."

Hearing Zheng Yi's words, Jian Shisan almost vomited blood: "These people betrayed the sect, they deserve to die, you should kill these traitors instead of letting them go."

The veins on Jian Shisan's hand that was holding the sword were bulging. It was obvious that he hated this act of betrayal of the sect.

Zheng Yi was speechless: "I need time to do this too." He smiled bitterly and pointed at the monsters that were gathering around him: "It's hard enough to deal with these things, how can I have the energy to hunt down the traitors?"

"In short, reinforcements will arrive sooner or later." Zheng Yi suddenly said seriously.

His eyes became firm, and he looked up at the distant skyline, as if waiting for something.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. The monsters are already coming. I'll count to three, two, one, and then we'll attack together." Zheng Yi's eyes were sharp and he looked like he was sure of winning.

"Three, two, one, the emperor is angry, and millions of people will die!" Zheng Yi suddenly shouted, and a dazzling golden light burst out from his body. The imperial aura that soared into the sky spread out like a substance, causing several monsters to kneel on the ground without resistance.

Their knees slammed heavily on the ground with a dull sound, and looks of fear appeared in their eyes.

Jian Shisan understood Zheng Yi's thoughts instantly. He took a deep breath and used all his strength to mobilize the sword energy to slash at the kneeling monsters.

The long sword drew a perfect arc in the air, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, slashing towards the target with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Unfortunately, in the end, only three were killed.

Even if these monsters were unable to resist, this was the limit of what Jian Shisan could do now. He panted heavily, watching the remaining monsters struggling to stand up, and secretly felt sorry for them.

The death of three monsters is nothing to the monster army, not to mention that guy from outside the domain is still constantly replenishing his combat power.

Under the dark cloud sky, dense swarms of monsters came like a tide.

Soon, Jian Shisan could no longer hold on.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and slid down his resolute face. His originally flowing robes were also stained with blood and stains, making him look a little dishevelled.

The hand holding the sword was actually trembling slightly.

Even if he had a high level of cultivation, he couldn't withstand such torture.

Every time he attacked, he had to use almost all his strength, otherwise he would not be able to defeat the monster at all.

Jian Shisan smiled bitterly in his heart. As the head of Xuantian Sword Sect and the best swordsman in the East Desert, when had he ever been so embarrassed? But the monsters in front of him were too difficult to deal with, and he needed to go all out to kill each one.

This consumption rate is astonishing.

Compared to him, the guy named Zheng Yi is like a monster.

Zheng Yi nimbly dodged the attacks of the monsters with clean and neat movements. Although his cultivation was not high, his grasp of the opportunity was extremely accurate.

From the beginning of the battle until now, this guy has not been affected at all, as if he has endless physical strength.

"Can you still hold on? I think you look a little bit weak."

Jian Shisan gritted his teeth and said, "Mind your own business."

At first, this guy asked himself if he could hold on. It turned out that he was not joking, but was really worried that he could not hold on.

He was the head of Xuantian Sword Sect and the best swordsman in Eastern Wasteland, but he had fallen to the point where he needed a Jindan-stage cultivator to worry about him.

Although he was depressed, Jian Shisan did feel that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to use the Flying Sword.

The trajectory of the flying sword was no longer as smooth as before, and the sword light was also a little dimmer.

His strength was exhausted and his sword energy was getting weaker and weaker.

"Left!" Zheng Yi suddenly shouted. Jian Shisan swung his sword reflexively, cutting a sneak attacking monster in half.

The two stood back to back, their breathing rapid.

Now Jian Shisan was exhausted, and the fight between the two became increasingly difficult.

The monsters seemed to sense their weakness and attacked more frantically.

Not only was Zheng Yi repeatedly injured, but Jian Shisan was also frequently in danger.

Jian Shisan was careless and was almost hit by the monster's claws. Zheng Yi was quick to pull him away and use his body to block the monster's attack.

"Be careful!" Zheng Yi said gritting his teeth.

Jian Shisan looked at the figure standing in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. This young man, whose cultivation was far inferior to his, had become his strongest supporter at this moment.

The reason why Zheng Yi did this was not because of some kind-heartedness, but because Jian Shisan could not die.

After all, now only Jian Shisan can effectively kill these monsters.

Due to his limited cultivation level, he had no good way to deal with these things for the time being.

Therefore, Jian Shisan's life must be saved at all costs.

"By the way, where are the reinforcements you mentioned? If they don't come, they will just be left to collect our bodies." After trying so hard to hold on for so long, Jian Shisan was ready to give up this place and run away if there was no reinforcement.

Jian Shisan had very little spiritual energy left in his body. If he continued to use it up like this, he might not even have the strength to escape.

As a sword cultivator, if he was determined to escape...

Not to mention those tumor monsters, even the demons from outer space might not be able to stop him.

If one is really in a desperate situation, he can only use his innate sword escape technique.

But... he glanced at Zheng Yi beside him and thought that this kid might not be able to escape.

"I don't know either." Zheng Yi looked innocent.

Jian Shisan was almost going crazy: "How dare you play tricks on me?"

His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly.

If there wasn't a powerful enemy at the door, he really wanted to kill the boy with a sword.

"Absolutely not." Zheng Yi quickly explained: "Don't worry, I can't joke with my own life, right? Reinforcements will come sooner or later..."

Before Zheng Yi could finish his words, a huge fireball was already flying towards him in the sky.

The blazing flames streaked across the sky, like a meteorite, roaring towards them with rolling heat waves.

Jian Shisan was stunned again. There really were reinforcements? And they were the one he was very familiar with, the leader of the Lihuo Sect, Liehuo.

Looking at the familiar figure, Jian Shisan was surprised and confused. How could Liehuo appear here?
"Do you know him?" Jian Shisan asked doubtfully.

Zheng Yi shook his head slowly: "I don't know him."

Jian Shisan felt the urge to chop someone again.

Seeing that Zheng Yi didn't seem surprised by Liehuo's arrival, Jian Shisan became even more suspicious. What secrets did this guy hide?
Huo Lie, who flew to the battlefield on a firebird, felt his scalp tingling when he saw the current situation of the Hehuan Sect.

Tweet!
His mount, the firebird, let out a sharp cry, and its flapping wings created waves of heat.

I cursed in my heart: "What on earth is this guy doing? How could he create so many monsters?"

But then, his eyes fell on the somewhat embarrassed Jian Shisan, and he burst into laughter again: "Brother Jian, why are you so embarrassed today?"

The two of them have regarded each other as their biggest enemy for so many years, but they have never seen the number one swordsman in the East Wilderness in such a miserable state.

Liehuo's laughter was a bit teasing, and he looked like he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

Jian Shisan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Lie Huo, are you here to laugh at me?"

Although he was harsh in words, his tense nerves relaxed a little. Although they were enemies, there was now a bigger enemy here who could threaten the entire Eastern Wasteland.

"If you want to help, do it now. If you don't want to help, don't get in our way."

Liehuo laughed and jumped off the Firebird: "Of course I'm here to help, and I just happen to have something that I'd like Brother Jian to take a look at for me."

The moment it landed, the flames spread out in all directions with the raging fire as the center.

Some of the monsters that were burned suddenly had flames on their bodies, and they howled in pain.

Many monsters kept rolling on the ground, the earth was shaking and smoke and dust filled the sky, and only then could they barely put out the flames on their bodies.

The next moment, the Lihuo Sword was unsheathed.

Driven by the spiritual energy of the raging fire, the entire blade of the Lihuo Sword was glowing with light. There seemed to be something flowing and tumbling inside the sword, emitting a light like magma.

Jian Shisan's pupils shrank slightly. He had heard of the Lihuo Sword, but he didn't expect that Liehuo could actually forge this sword.

No wonder he challenged me before, it turns out he wanted to beat me in this. (End of this chapter)
