Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 266 The Cicada Awaits

"All is over. Yu Changsheng, die!"

Yang Chengxu's face hardened, showing no mercy. He spun the spear in his hand, churning flesh and blood, and pushed forward with his right hand, trying to pierce through further...

"Click..."

Yu Changsheng, covered in blood, suddenly looked up. His hands, bathed in blood, gripped the hilt of his spear. His eyes, barely visible through a slit, looked at Yang Chengxu, but a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Huh? You can still laugh?"

Yang Chengxu sneered, coldly watching Yu Changsheng. At this moment, Yu Changsheng was already on his last legs, his chest almost pierced through, and his life force was beginning to ebb away. However, his hands were as hard as a rock. One hand gripped the golden spear, while the other hand tightly grabbed Yang Chengxu's arm, preventing him from advancing.

"It's just a last-ditch effort." Yang Chengxu frowned, a sense of unease flashing through his mind. The veins on his hand bulged, and he pushed forward with force, his spear surging again as he thrust it forward.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Changsheng's body trembled, his pupils showed a dissipated light, his face was bloodless, and a golden spear pierced through his chest and back, the tip of the spear flashing with cold light, and had an aura of annihilation. It continuously poured into Yu Changsheng's body from the spear, destroying his internal organs and ruining his life force.

Everything seemed to have settled down, but even so, although Yu Changsheng was miserable, a breeze blew up the black hair on his bangs, and Yu Changsheng grinned at Yang Chengxu.

"Um?"

Yang Chengxu frowned, his unease reaching its peak, transforming into boundless ripples that rapidly spread throughout his mind and body, erupting like a monstrous wave in every cell of his body.

In an instant, it felt as if a sharp blade was behind me, as if I had fallen into an icy abyss; a sense of impending death descended upon me at that moment.

"Let go!"

Yang Chengxu's face was gloomy, his golden spear shattered, and he threw a fierce punch at Yu Changsheng's head.

Yu Changsheng groaned. Although blood was flowing from his seven orifices and his breath was extremely weak, he somehow mustered up strength and used both legs to tightly hug Yang Chengxu, holding on tightly and refusing to let go, allowing Yang Chengxu to punch and elbow him.

"The Primordial Sword, the Sword that Created Heaven!"

Behind Yang Chengxu, a ray of light suddenly burst forth, spreading rapidly from a single point to a line, exploding into the sky, emerging from the void, and transforming into a stunning sword!

As soon as the sword was unleashed, Sijian Cliff trembled, the sword marks on it quivered, the remaining sword essence hummed, and boundless sword intent erupted, as if it had found its master and was paying homage to it, becoming a part of this sword light.

It's hard to describe this sword strike in words. With a single strike, it seemed to completely separate heaven and earth, shatter the chaos, tear apart the night, and usher in the dawn, transforming into the first ray of primordial light in the world!

Unparalleled in the world, shaking heaven and earth, everything paled in comparison to this sword. Only this sword, carrying the meaning of hope and light, became the ultimate brilliance in the dawn.

"!!!"

Yang Chengxu felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end; the sense of crisis in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

It's just a pity that this sword was too fast, and it had been held back for a long time, with its power accumulated. The timing of the attack was also perfect. It was just when Yang Chengxu was being recklessly attacked by Yu Changsheng, and his mind was clouded and his body was bound.

Even if Yang Chengxu sensed something at the last moment, it was already too late to avoid it!

"Whoosh!"

With a single sword strike, the world seemed to close its curtain, like a fleeting glimpse, a brief moment of beauty, or an eternal instant. The world was singular, and time and space seemed to freeze in that instant.

Yang Chengxu turned his head, his eyes filled with terror. He looked down with difficulty and saw a bloodstain that ran from his head to his shoulder, abdomen, and out of his thigh, running from front to back.

"you……"

Yang Chengxu struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with resentment, hatred, and disbelief... Waves of blood gushed from his mouth, and drops of blood oozed from the sword wounds covering his body, growing larger and larger.

He looked up, his last shred of consciousness controlling his arm to slowly lift it. He struggled to open his eyes, trying to see the person wielding the sword, but unfortunately, the person standing in the morning light of the sword was blurred amidst the extreme brilliance.

"Boom!"

A bitter smile appeared on Yang Chengxu's face, and the light in his eyes completely disappeared at this moment. With a tearing sound, his body was cut in two from the sword wound. The sword intent exploded, and his internal organs were also extinguished. His life force was completely severed, and his soul was shattered!

A once-promising talent, Yang Chengxu, has fallen completely!

"hold head high!!"

The Azure Dragon and the Sky Shadow Dragon cried out in anguish. The Beastmaster had perished, and the backlash caused both of them to be severely injured in an instant. Their life force slowly drained away, and they suddenly fell to the ground from the sky.

The original azure-dark chaotic light sphere, after a flash, slowly dissipated into the world before it could fully erupt.

"call……"

Li Minghan lay sprawled on the ground, supporting himself with one hand and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with the other. He was panting heavily, his heart still pounding with fear.

At that moment, the threat of death was so intense.

"Boom!"

The massive bodies of the Sky Shadow Dragon and the Azure Sub-Dragon crashed to the ground, creating ripples of dust and mist. Their auras began to slowly dissipate. When a Beast Tamer dies, unless there are special spirit beast contracts, the tamed beast will slowly die without any other means.

However, the person wielding the sword clearly had no patience to wait for the Azure Dragon and the Sky Shadow Dragon to struggle, lest things get complicated. So, he turned around and swung his sword again, the sword light dazzling, transforming into a sword beam tens of feet long, simultaneously striking the bodies of the Azure Dragon and the Sky Shadow Dragon.

The Azure Dragon and the Sky Shadow Dragon howled in agony. Already severely injured and on the verge of death, their dragon scales were rendered useless by this sword strike. Their life force was extinguished like a candle flickering in the wind. Their raised dragon heads crashed to the ground!

Azure Dragon and Sky Shadow Dragon have fallen!

The boundary-fixing bead also collapsed completely due to the death of its owner. The barrier that originally sealed off the surroundings shattered bit by bit, and the wind from the outside world began to blow slowly again.

After doing all this, the swordsman seemed to be exhausted. He suddenly staggered, and his sword stuck into the ground, supporting his body.

Clearly, for him, swinging this sword was also a huge drain on his strength, exhausting all his power.

Panting, Li Minghan was still reeling from the emotional rollercoaster. His expression suddenly changed, and he rushed to Yu Changsheng, carefully supporting him with a look of anxious concern.

At this moment, among the three, Li Minghan was in the best condition. Apart from the psychological shadow, he was almost completely unharmed.

Yu Changsheng's condition can be described as extremely desolate. On his chest, there is a wound three fingers wide that runs through his chest, and through the flesh, one can see the blood surging inside. Half of his heart, which is destroyed, is still beating stubbornly.

"Hold on, Changsheng!"

Li Minghan's face showed grief and indignation. He reached out and pressed on Yu Changsheng's veins to stop the bleeding.

Yu Changsheng's eyes were barely open, his breath was weak, and his mind was a complete mess, his life force flickering precariously.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Changsheng coughed weakly. With a thought, he took out a pill from his backpack. Two pill patterns were engraved on it. It was greenish-blue in color and surrounded by a slowly flowing mist.

The fragrant aroma of the medicine was so enticing that just one whiff was enough to invigorate the mind. It was the Rejuvenation Pill that Mo Pengchen had given him last time!

Without hesitation, Yu Changsheng swallowed it in one gulp. Instantly, the gentle medicinal effects burst forth in waves within his body, rapidly integrating into his limbs and bones, sustaining his life force and repairing his injuries.

The efficacy of the Rejuvenation Pill is beyond doubt. As a top-tier elixir among third-grade pills, when taken at the Foundation Establishment stage, it is sufficient to bring the dead back to life, restore flesh and bone, and has unparalleled healing effects.

The colorful star deer cried mournfully, its antlers scattering endless green light that shone on Yu Changsheng. A gentle force surged into him, restoring his strength.

Even so, Yu Changsheng's strength this time was too overwhelming, and it was almost impossible for him to recover in a short time. He could only keep his life force alive, but he had lost all his combat power.

"Fortunately, there's the Rejuvenation Pill..."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Yu Changsheng smiled bitterly, feeling weak all over, and slowly exhaled as he felt the waves of medicinal effects surging through his body.

In this battle, his consciousness was depleted, his blood and energy were exhausted, and he had no magic power left. He was able to hold on until now entirely by sheer willpower.

"It's okay, you won't die."

Seeing Li Minghan's concern and anxiety, she felt a warmth in her heart, shook her head reluctantly and said in a low voice, feeling relieved.

"How are you? Your injuries are too severe. One Rejuvenation Pill might not be enough."

As the dawn faded and the sword light dissipated, the person who had wielded the sword sheathed it and revealed his true identity—none other than Meng Wu'an!

Meng Wu'an slowly walked towards Li Minghan and Yu Changsheng, his eyes calm, and said softly to Yu Changsheng:

"I also have a Rejuvenation Pill here. Take it together; we must not be careless."

After saying that, Meng Wu'an reached out and took out another Rejuvenation Pill. Without a trace of pain on his face, he glanced at Li Minghan and threw it to him without saying a word.

"Give it to him to stabilize his injuries."

Li Minghan was taken aback. He subconsciously took the Rejuvenation Pill, his eyes dimming as he looked deeply at Meng Wu'an. After confirming that the pill was safe, he nodded, a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and bowed respectfully to Meng Wu'an.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Meng."

The preciousness of the Rejuvenation Pill is beyond doubt; even Golden Core cultivators would find it difficult to possess. At the moment, Li Minghan indeed did not have such a sacred healing medicine on him.

"That's really true..."

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, feeling surprised. His vigilance relaxed slightly. Sensing his less-than-ideal physical condition, he gave a wry smile and, without being coy, cast a grateful glance at Meng Wu'an. He then allowed Li Minghan to give him the Rejuvenation Pill.

After taking the two Rejuvenation Pills, the powerful medicinal effects erupted in waves, repairing the injuries. The life force that had been barely hanging on was completely stabilized and became vigorous again under the effect of the Rejuvenation Pills.

His previously pale complexion regained some color, the continuous effects of the medicine nourishing every part of his body. His condition was significantly better than before. Having regained some strength, Yu Changsheng let out a breath and, with Li Minghan's help, struggled to his feet. He bowed deeply to Meng Qi'an, expressing his gratitude:

"I am truly grateful to Fellow Daoist Meng for this. First, you helped me with a sword, and now you have bestowed upon me the pill. I am deeply grateful and will repay you if I ever need anything in the future."

At the last moment, if Meng Wu'an hadn't intervened, both Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan would probably be dead by now.

"No need to thank me, it's just a matter of mutual benefit." Meng Wu'an shook his head, his expression calm, as if to him it was just a trivial matter.

"I have a blood feud with Yang Chengxu. I only took action when the time was right. As for the Rejuvenation Pill, consider it payment for letting you absorb his firepower and hold him off. If I were to fight him one-on-one, I would be no match for him. You don't need to thank me for anything else."

Meng Wu paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and gently exhaled. Looking at Yang Chengxu's still-warm body, a complex expression appeared in his eyes, which eventually turned into a look of relief.

"No matter what, we should still express our gratitude."

Yu Changsheng let out a breath, feeling his physical condition gradually improving. Although he was still weak, he was no longer at risk of fainting at any moment.

"No need." Meng Wu'an withdrew his gaze, shook his head again, turned to look at Si Jianya, remained silent for a moment, and a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes.

"Since you are on the territory of your Myriad Manifestations Sect and have received the opportunity and inheritance from your Myriad Manifestations Sect predecessors, it is only right for me to help you. This can be considered as settling a karmic debt."

"Hmm?" Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt as they looked at Meng Wu'an.

Meng Wu'an pondered for a moment, then asked, "How was that sword strike just now?"

"Awe-inspiring, unparalleled beauty!"

Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan nodded, affirming without hesitation.

"Hmm, truly stunning," Meng Wu'an nodded, seemingly savoring the moment. His gaze returned to Si Jianya. Under the influence of Meng Wu'an's Primordial Sword, Si Jianya's sword energy was now diminished, and he was no longer so sharp.

"It's hard to imagine that such a brilliant sword technique was created by the people of your Beast Taming Peak. This Sword Thinking Cliff was not only cleaved open by that being back then with a single sword strike, leaving behind a sword mark, but it also contains the inheritance of that sword strike. If one has enough comprehension, one will naturally be able to comprehend it."

"The sword strike I just unleashed was truly astonishing."

Meng Wu'an sighed, while Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan looked at each other, suddenly realizing what was happening. They looked at Si Jianya, each with their own thoughts, tinged with a hint of fervor.

Meng Wu'an pondered for a moment, glanced at Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan, and was quite clear about what they were thinking. So he shook his head and said softly:

"However, after so many years, this sword mark has become very faint. It has already been comprehended by me, and the remaining charm is probably unlikely to be comprehended by anyone within a hundred years. There is no need for you two to force it."

"Therefore, having inherited the legacy of your Beast Taming Peak predecessors, it is only natural for me to unleash this sword strike, especially since..."

Meng Wu'an suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, he sighed softly, "Moreover, I have a reason to kill him. In terms of both sentiment and reason, we owe each other nothing."
