What aunt? They are obviously sisters.

Chapter 336 Golden Liquid Medicine (New)

Could it be that Sakura Yuki Chikage and the others have already discovered me?

Absolutely!
After Li Ming was certain in his heart, he took a step back and stared at the three people who were fighting in the temple.

No...it seems that they only know that they are here, but don't know where exactly they are.

If they could sense our location, they would have come to kill us long ago.

Li Ming's frown slowly relaxed but he did not leave.

He wanted to see what Sakura Yuki Chikage and the others were trying to do and what trap they had set for him.

Inside the temple, the smell of blood was so thick that it almost suffocated people.

Blood soaked the bronze patterns on the Hydra altar, and Sakura Yuki Chikage's silver hair fluttered in the turbulent energy.

She stabbed her fingertips into the remains of Olde's body, and dark red spells crawled up his arms along his blood vessels, gnawing at his flesh like countless poisonous snakes.

"In the name of Yaqi, refine!"

The altar suddenly emitted an ear-piercing hissing sound, and nine bronze snake-headed statues simultaneously spewed out green flames.

Olde's shattered body twisted and deformed in the flames, gradually condensing into a beating golden blood bead.

Li Ming's eyes also moved slightly, staring at the refined medicinal liquid.

"It's done!" The temple master staggered towards the altar, and fragments of armor fell with his movement.

The wound on his right shoulder was still oozing blood, but he reached out to grab the drop of golden light without noticing. "Twenty years, a full twenty years, Yingxue! When you said you wanted to refine an SSS-level liquid medicine, I knew we would succeed."

The temple master stood in front of the altar, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.

His hands were shaking as he excitedly scooped up the drop of golden liquid and gently poured it into his mouth.

The moment the medicine entered his body, an invisible force quickly spread throughout his body, making it almost impossible for him to control his breath.

His muscles gradually swelled and his breathing became heavier and richer.

"SSS-level power..." he muttered to himself, the excitement and satisfaction on his face almost overflowing.

"If we can fully master this power, we will no longer be puppets of the Freemasons. We can retake the territory of the Sakura Empire and rebuild an empire that truly belongs to us."

As the medicinal liquid merged, the temple master's body began to undergo amazing changes.

His wounds healed quickly, his strength recovered rapidly, and his aura continued to rise.

His strength continued to grow, and even the oppressive feeling in the air was gradually swallowed up by him.

However, as the power grew, an intense feeling of unease gradually spread.

The backlash from the medicine began to spread throughout his body, like a fire burning in his chest.

The temple master gritted his teeth in pain, trying to suppress this violent force.

However, his efforts were obviously unsuccessful - as his aura soared, a strong sense of violence suddenly erupted in his body, and his body seemed to be burned by flames, the pain was indescribable.

The hall master's eyes flashed with astonishment and anger. He gritted his teeth in pain and glared at Ying Xue Qian Ying: "You lied to me! There is something wrong with this medicine--"

The words stopped abruptly.

The bloodshot eyes of the temple master suddenly bulged, and a beast-like growl came from his throat.

Migratory tumors bulged under his exposed skin, and the joints of his vertebrae pierced out with crackling sounds.

The drop of golden liquid penetrated into his palm like a living thing, burning lava-like lines in his blood vessels.

"Something's wrong." Li Ming's pupils suddenly shrank. Ying Xue sighed softly, with no guilt in her eyes, only helplessness and determination.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice soft but with irresistible power.

"I originally planned to use Older's body to refine the medicine, but he was too powerful and terrifying. I tried my best but couldn't draw out his true body, nor could I obtain a true SS-level sacrifice. So, I chose you, Palace Master."

She paused and said softly, “You have always been my mentor and my closest friend.

You and I share the same ideal, but for that ideal, everyone has to pay a price.”

The hall master's eyes were filled with pain and helplessness. His body kept struggling in the flames of the Hydra altar, and he was almost unable to resist.

"I understand," he gritted his teeth and said, "From the beginning to the end, you never thought of giving me the medicine..."

"Huff~" He lowered his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Qianying, I am willing to sacrifice for the Sakura Empire. Please, please give the people of the empire a new hope and tell them that we will definitely find a piece of land where we can take root forever..."

Hear the words.

Sakura Yuki Chikage was slightly stunned.

At the moment when Yingxue relaxed her vigilance, the temple master suddenly burst out with his last strength, and his body rushed towards her like a raging fire in a strong wind.

His fist was like a mountain pressing down, the air was torn apart by his strength, and it almost destroyed part of the temple. Yingxue tried to dodge, but she was already exhausted.

"Bitch!" The temple master's roar was like thunder, and the energy of his final blow almost caused the temple to collapse.

"Die!!!" The roar of the temple master shattered the twelve load-bearing pillars.

His mutated right arm suddenly exploded, and what spurted out was not blood, but thousands of golden maggots.

She was hit directly by this powerful force, blood spurted out of her mouth, and her whole body was blown away, hitting the wall of the temple hard.

Yingxue's body was severely injured in an instant, her blood and energy surged, and her realm dropped sharply, falling directly from the peak of S-level to the peak of A-level.

She supported her body with difficulty and knelt in the center of the temple. The power of the Hydra altar began to weaken, and the illusory purple-gold light began to dim. The cracks on the altar expanded again, as if it could collapse at any time.

The moment these wriggling light insects pounced on Sakura Yuki Chikage
The blood mist finally dissipated, and a brief peace returned to the temple.

Her face was as pale as paper and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The surging pressure from the temple master was mixed with a stench like rotting meat. The bronze tiles around the altar were rusting and peeling off at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then quickly gathered together.

The blood in the entire temple and the fragments of the Hydra altar quickly gathered together under the energy released after the death of the temple master.

In an instant.

A drop of golden liquid slowly emerged, emitting a heart-pounding scent.

"It's over," she murmured softly, but her eyes were still scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Then, Sakura Yuki Chikage reached out her hand to grab that moment without any hesitation.

A blazing and holy light flashed by.

"Li Ming!" she screamed.

The moment Sakura Yuki Chikage's fingertips touched the golden liquid, she was blown away.

However, one third of the golden liquid was cut off by her fingertips, and her injuries healed rapidly. In less than a second, she recovered to the S-level level.

One clone after another rushed towards the golden liquid...
