Chương 234: Forbidden pills

Wu Kong's strength was simply unfathomable. Using the word 'godly' and 'inestimable' to describe him was very apt. But he never seemed to care about Long Feng's life and death. Back in the Yin Ghost Forest, Long Feng would have died several times if not for his luck. Wu Kong hadn't stirred even once during that entire time. Long Feng even had a suspicion that Wu Kong has long left, no longer in his Dantian. But since he couldn't even sense his at all, he didn't know if that was true.

With Wu Kong's strength, leaving without Long Feng's knowledge was simply an insignificant matter. And if that was true, then Long Feng would most probably die today. But he had a feeling that Wu Kong wasn't going to let him die. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but he just believed that Wu Kong couldn't let him die. Now wasn't the time to ponder about all these. If Wu Kong still refused to act or had truly left, then Long Feng couldn't see any chance of surviving.

Thus he was truly calm as he decided to step out. As long as his friends were safe, he didn't mind. Behind him, Hua Liuli's eyes teared up and her heartbeat sped up rapidly"Brother Long Feng! You can't leave. He'll kill you!" Her voice cracked as he spoke pleadingly. Long Feng slowly shook his head without looking back at her"I'm sorry Liuli. You were all dragged into this because of me. I won't be any different from him if I hide and watch him hurt any of you.

I won't ever be able to live with myself even if I survive" Hua Liuli's sobbing gradually grew louder"You're being reckless! Your clansmen died to keep you alive, we've all given our all to protect you. And now you want to make all of our efforts and sacrifices to be in vain?" Hua Liuli tried one last attempt to make him reconsider, but Long Feng's mind was made up. He wasn't heartless. They could have all escaped long ago. Zhang Mo was here for him, not them. If they'd left, they wouldn't have to suffer all these.

But they chose to stay by his side, risking their lives to protect him. In fact, he was actually a burden to them in this situation. But now, he could actually make a difference, save their lives in exchange for his own. It didn't seem like a bad deal to him. Watching Long Feng slowly walk farther away from the white shield, Yan jian's expression was filled with pain and rage as his bloodline burned with greater fury, trying to break free from Zhang Mo's grasp. But the difference between them was too great.

He wasn't able to do that. Li Yue'er's heart fell as her nails dug deep into her palm due to how tightly her fists were clenched. Her heart was filled with great helplessness as she watched Long Feng step away from the final thing keeping him alive. Yet she couldn't do anything to be useful, trapped behind a barrier and unable to even move.

"Hahahahaha! Good brat! You're truly worthy of my admiration brat!" Zhang Mo laughed loudly as he brought Yan jian with him and stepped out of the crimson barrier. Long Feng stared at him calmly, devoid of any emotion whatsoever"I've done what you said. Now let him go!" Zhang Mo stopped smiling and nodded slowly"Brat, even if nothing else, I, Zhang Mo is filled with respect for you. Your loyalty fills me with awe""In respect of that, I'll fulfill my promise. I won't kill any of them.

And I won't return to your clan. Even this Li clan girl, I won't take her away" Zhang Mo's promise made Long Feng's heart to relax a bit. Although he didn't entirely believe his words, he could only take the risk and hope that Zhang Mo was a person who kept his promises.

"And I will make this painless. After all, you've proven to me that wasting time causes more and more unexpected changes when it comes to you" Zhang Mo continued. He flung Yan jian back into the crimson barrier, then opened his palm as his dagger flew through the air and returned to his hand.

"You were similarly relentless in your pursuit weren't you?" Long Feng replied calmly. Zhang Mo laughed and didn't reply. Lifting his arm, he threw the dagger aimed right at Long Feng's chest, where his heart was located. This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. This time, Long Feng didn't move even though he could have certainly dodged the dagger. The dagger was already about to stab him when a shadow flashed past Long Feng and appeared before him.

A soft gasp echoed as the dagger stabbed into the person standing in front of him, the force throwing her thin figure into Long Feng's chest. Long Feng was slow to react and instinctively caught the figure. Seeing the pale face staring up at him, Long Feng's pupils shrank.

"Liuli!" That's right. Hua Liuli had appeared before Long Feng and taken the dagger that was supposed to hit him. Her right shoulder was pierced deeply by the dagger and it lodged itself into her body.

"Damn it! Liuli!" Long Feng sat back down and supported her head, pulling the dagger out of her and flung it away. He fed several pills into her mouth and began to pour the little energy he recovered into her body. But soon, his face fell. Zhang Mo wasn't nearly as lenient with that dagger strike as he was with Li Yue'er. After all, he didn't want to kill Li Yue'er so he didn't infuse any powerful energy into the dagger and also intentionally missed her vital organs.

But for Long Feng, he naturally wouldn't be so gentle. This dagger contained the full destructive energy of his blood Dao. The blood energy was rapidly spreading within Hua Liuli's body and corroding her organs.

"Silly girl, why are you so stubborn? Why would you do that?" Long Feng began to help her slow down the spread of the blood energy and let the healing pills begin to take effect. But for all that, it wouldn't be enough to save her life if she wasn't immediately attended to soon. Hua Liuli smiled beautifully. She buried her head in his chest slowly"Big brother Long Feng, Liuli just wants you to be safe." Long Feng's heart shook at her words but he still shook his head.

"How many times must I tell you? This is the only way to keep you all safe? I don't want you to risk your life for me." Long Feng was helpless as all his attempts to repel Zhang Mo's energy in Hua Liuli's body failed. At most within an hour, this energy would corrode her heart and by then, saving her would be impossible. Raising his head, he glanced at Li Yue'er who was similarly in a really bad state and had lost massive amounts of blood already.

Then Yan jian, who's bloodline boost had faded and he was reduced to a very weak and injured state. Long Feng's heart felt as though a knife was thrust right in and twisted around. They were all in this situation because of him alone. If anything happened to any of them, he would truly be forever unable to forgive himself.

"Big brother Long Feng..." Hua Liuli called out softly. Long Feng looking down at her pale face Under his gentle gaze, Hua Liuli's pale face actually flushed brightly and she blushed. Long Feng was startled speechless. This silly girl really was blushing in this situation? When he life was at stake?

"Brother Long Feng, d... do you like Liuli now?" Hua Liuli bit her lips and asked, gazing at him with bright eyes. A month ago, she had asked him this same question and he didn't give her a true answer. Now, in this situation that was anything but favourable, she actually asked this again. Long Feng froze"Liuli, this isn't the time for this. Your life is in danger. We need to get you out of here. All of you!"

He breathed deeply as he replied, lifting his head to stare at Zhang Mo who's expression was as dark as it could possibly be. Hua Liuli sighed softly but she didn't ask about that again. She also understood that she was once again being foolish to ask such a question in this situation. She just couldn't help herself.

"What a touching scene. Your continuous struggle and defiance has completely grounded my patience. Brat, today, if I leave any of you four alive, then I shall not deserve my name! Since you all love each other so much, then you can all go to hell together!" Zhang Mo sneered ferociously, truly enraged completely. He had nearly killed Long Feng several times but each time, someone would interfere. The reckless suicidal Long clansmen, Li Yue'er, Yan jian and Hua Liuli.

And just when he thought it was finally over, Hua Liuli jumped out and interfered, once again saving Long Feng's life. Even from another viewpoint, his rage was not misplaced after being frustrated so many times in a day, and in a mission that should have been extremely easy to finish. His dagger returned to his hand as he prepared to unleash another blood river. He was ready to withstand the backlash as long as he could complete this mission and also vent his frustration by killing all of these annoying brats.

Hua Liuli gritted her teeth and her void ring flashed as a small black pill bottle appeared in her grasp. The bottle seemed to emit a faint chill that made Long Feng's soul to shiver. This chill became much more evident as Hua Liuli poured out a single round and shiny black pill into her palm. His expression changed and he grabbed Hua Liuli's arm, stopping her from throwing the pill into her mouth.

"What's that?" He asked sternly with a serious expression. This pill gave him a faintly ominous feeling. Hua Liuli's face was anxious as she sensed Zhang Mo rapidly forming a new blood river around him. She didn't have much time.

"It's nothing brother Long Feng. Just a strong healing pill!" She avoided Long Feng's gaze as she replied meekly.

"Just a healing pill?" Long Feng repeated with a sharp gaze. Hua Liuli shrank under his stare and replied"It's a forbidden pill. It will grant me a boost in strength. I might be able to take us all away. And I have the antidote to withstand the pressure" she quickly explained in a single breath and made to throw the pill in her mouth again. Long Feng was a step ahead of her. He stopped her and took the pill and pill bottle from her grasp in a swift movement.

"You're already badly injured. Focus on protecting yourself. Let me take it" He said calmly and didn't give her the chance to refute him before he threw the pill into his mouth. Feeling that it wasn't enough, he threw the remaining two pills from the bottle into his mouth. His actions made Hua Liuli's expression to change greatly.

"Brother Long Feng No!" But she was too late. The three pills melted into a flow of cold energy that rushed through his broken meridians to his Dantian. Hua Liuli's face was filled with panic as she stared in shock. She was lying when she said she had an antidote. She merely wanted him to believe her and let her take it. She was very aware of the effects of this forbidden pill. Although it granted a boost in strength, it wasn't much. And the backlash was terrible.

In her current situation, surviving the backlash of one pill was already nearly impossible. Death was very likely once the effects of the pill wears off. She couldn't even imagine what sort of frightening backlash would come from taking three at once. Although that would increase the power boost, it would also triple the backlash! Long Feng would certainly die if he faced that backlash. Even a peak spirit realm warrior wouldn't survive the backlash of three forbidden pills at once!

A soul wrenching pain similar to a soul injury assaulted Long Feng's body as the dark energy rushed to every part of his body. The feeling was akin to having thousands of insects gnawing at his organs at the same time. The pain was indescribable as his face scrunched up and he let out a low growl that almost didn't sound human. Zhang Mo's face changed as he sent the blood river around him surging at Long Feng. He wasn't willing to give him even a slight chance to turn the situation around.

Right now, he didn't even care to keep Long Feng's head for the mission again. He simply wanted to reduce him to pieces, end everything at once. The blood river exploded above Long Feng, releasing a wild wave of power that almost reached the peak spirit realm level. This energy was enough to obliterate both Long Feng and Hua Liuli in an instant.

But suddenly, from the spreading dust and shockwave, a surge of black energy burst into the sky, forcing the blood river's explosive energy aside and releasing an incomparably chilly aura that shocked everyone. Long Feng and Hua Liuli's figures were revealed, completely unharmed. Long Feng was surrounded by this surge of dark energy which clouded around him and completely hid his figure behind the chilly dark aura.

His dark figure slowly rose into the sky and some of the dark energy faded to reveal a pair of pitch black eyes that could devour light. From the aura Long Feng was currently emanating, one could mistake him for a peak spirit realm warrior! That's right. The forbidden pills granted him the power of a rank nine spirit realm warrior, one level above Zhang Mo!
