Chapter 383: Withdrawn Injured

slate!Blood in the body is constantly vaporized, and then absorbed by muscles, meridians, and bones. After absorbing this blood mist, the flesh slowly becomes crystal clear, and then a wispy black, fo..."Aw"

A scream echoed, followed by a flash of silver light. It was Di Kun, who had slain the Mahā Blood Toad with his own power and stood in front of Lu Xia Tian. Di Kun's body, which had been impervious even to attacks from alchemy artifacts, now bore numerous wounds, large and small. He was struck again by Sha Ba's venomous centipede leg, directly piercing through him. The already weakened Di Kun let out a final scream before collapsing onto the ground, unconscious.

The Earth Puppet had just been repelled by the Sand Tyrant. Now, there was no time to summon another Earth Puppet for cover, and Lu Xia Tian couldn't even react in time to block it. There was no way to stop it. However, at this critical moment, an Iron Thornvine beside Lu Xia Tian coiled around his body and pulled him slightly, narrowly avoiding the centipede's strike to his heart. Even though the centipede still couldn't penetrate the Fire Dragon Scales, the immense force couldn't be fully absorbed, causing a small section of Lu Xia Tian's chest to cave in from the impact.

With a roar, Lu Xia Tian vomited blood, within it hidden fragments of broken internal organs.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Lu Xia Tian had never suffered such a severe injury. His entire body felt as weak as dried leaves in the wind, vulnerable to being swept away by even a slight breeze.

However, on Lu Xia Tian's face that was extremely ugly at this time, there was both the anger of Di Kun being severely injured and a hint of joy from the victory of persisting to the end.

A close call, he survived. Since he's alive, the price must be paid by the enemy. His body is weak, but his soul spirit has only been worn down from the fight, not seriously injured.

Shaba didn't expect that even in this situation, the silver-haired youth could still stand firm. Despite such severe injuries, he remained unyielding. Fear finally began to grip Shaba's heart. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have chased after him.

Now thinking about it all is useless. Ever since he used that desperate, all-or-nothing attack just now, the power he had after merging with the centipede soul has completely vanished. His spirit beast, Maha Blood Toad, has been torn to pieces, and he himself is now grievously wounded. Those fourth-rank, even third-rank spirit vines he didn't care about before are now death sentences, their thorny barbs piercing his body relentlessly.

The Sand King let out a terrified shriek as the wildly growing spirit vines wrapped him completely. There was no way for the already weakened Sand King to resist at this point.

A huge sledgehammer fell from the sky. With a deafening boom, Shaba's head, contorted in pain, was smashed to pieces like a watermelon.

The body wrapped in the thorny vines twitched a few times before falling still. However, a soul, filled with terror, shot out from between the gaps in the thorns like lightning, breaking through the air and flying away into the distance.

Seeing the escape of Sha Ba's primordial spirit, Lu Xiaotian let out a slight sigh. If he hadn't been so severely injured, he could have easily eradicated this humanoid god, not even allowing his primordial spirit to escape. However, at this moment, the magic power within him had almost dried up, and his injuries were so severe that he didn't even know how long he could hold on before collapsing. To finally kill this formidable enemy, he had poured all his strength into it, relying partly on luck. As for this person's primordial spirit, he didn't have the energy to care about it at all.

After slaying the burly man, Lu Xiaoteng picked up the unconscious Di Kun. After a moment of thought, he controlled the similarly injured earth puppet to collect the storage bags of these people.

By the way, there's also that cyan transparent orb that imprisoned the centipede soul. Lu Xiaoteng was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the brawny man's last absorption of the centipede soul and rolling in the grass between that orb. He hurriedly let the clay puppet collect it again.

Having finished all that, Lu Xia Tian controlled the earth puppet, placing himself and Dong Fang Yi onto its large hand and slightly bent arm. At this point, he was too weak to even sit steadily on the earth puppet's shoulder.

In this dangerous mist-shrouded forbidden zone, with his current state, he was simply unable to cope with powerful threats. All he could rely on now was this injured and rather gruesome puppet of a native tribesman. Thankfully, the puppet remained intact; otherwise, even an ordinary low-level demon beast could pose a grave threat to him. If he encountered another wave of those black armored beetles, or a demonic python of that caliber again, he would be left with no choice but to die.

The good thing was that these earthen puppets weren't like human cultivators. Even if they were injured, as long as the core where the spirit stones were placed wasn't damaged, they would be fine. The earthen puppets looked miserable on the outside, but overall, they could still maintain their combat effectiveness. Lu Xiaoteng also braced himself and fought on.

As expected, we encountered several waves of monsters after not traveling far. The strongest one even reached the sixth rank. Several fourth and fifth-rank monsters were directly smashed to death by the earth puppet's hammer.

There was also a sixth-rank demonic rabbit. Lu Xia Tian, whose mana had been slightly recovered, used spirit vine seeds and the double attack of the earthen golem to injure it, causing it to flee in haste.

Looking at the fleeing rabbit demon beast, Lu Xiaotian's face turned solemn. He realized that this place was still a considerable distance from where he had hidden in the Misty Forbidden Land before. Having already encountered so many demon beasts here, it would be unrealistic to expect the earthen puppet alone to safely escort him and Dongfang Yi to their destination.

After a moment's hesitation, a strange feeling stirred within him. A piece of crimson crystal materialized in his hand, pulsing with an unusual energy. It was the same kind of crystal he had obtained from the most powerful red gold clay figurine in the Xuan Yuan Sutra. He had used up all the pale gold figurines' crystals to survive back then. Without those crystals from the figurines, he wouldn't have been able to escape the endless onslaught of clay figurines within the Xuan Yuan Sutra, nor could he have reached his current level of peak sixth-tier cultivator.

Only the purest piece of red gold crystal remained untouched. It was originally intended for saving his life, but given the current situation, if he didn't quickly regain some strength, he would probably be eaten by demonic beasts before he could even reach his hiding place.

Without any further hesitation, Lu Xia Tian absorbed the strange energy within this piece of crimson gold crystal. The injuries on his body began to recover at a visible speed.

There was a slight tingling sensation where some of the dead flesh on his body was regrowing. The broken bones were also beginning to heal. As the earthen puppet moved, Lu Xia Tian's injuries gradually recovered.

The process of healing was not as smooth as expected, much like what Lu Xiaitian had anticipated. When he was injured by the shallow gold terracotta warriors, it was the warrior's sheer brute force that caused the damage, with no other harm inflicted. However, when he was attacked by the hulking man before, especially after absorbing the centipede soul, the opponent's strange strength pierced through his fire dragon scales. There was both the initial power of Shaba and Maha Blood Toad destroying him from within, and even more formidable aura of the seventh-order demon centipede. This crimson gold crystal was a wondrous item for healing physical injuries, but it couldn't dispel these two contrasting energies of evil magic.
