Ling Yun quickly placed Little White on the ground and took out a Healing Talisman from his Spatial ring. He leaned over Dongfang Ting. “Elder Brother Dongfang, quick, tell me where your wounds are. I’ll heal you!”

“Younger Brother Ling Yun, thank you, but it’s useless. My back and legs have been pierced by the stone swords in so many areas. I can’t even move now!”

Ling Yun didn’t listen to Dongfang Ting’s nonsense. He immediately patted the Healing Talisman lightly on the wounds that Dongfang Ting had mentioned before shouting internally, Come!

Dongfang Ting didn’t know what Ling Yun had done to his body, but he felt a strange coolness on his injuries. When all of his wounds had mysteriously vanished thereafter, he was both surprised and delighted at once!

“Younger Brother Ling Yun, this…” Dongfang Ting was filled with boundless gratitude and shouted in shock.

Ling Yun laughed. “Don’t say anything yet. The three of us need to lean against the stone wall now. If my guess is correct, the next wave of stone swords will come out from the ground!”

After he had spoken, Ling Yun carried Little White while bringing both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting to the side of a stone wall. He calmly said, “The next wave of stone swords will be the last one in the killing spell. As long as we can endure it, this spell formation should die away!”

Dugu Mo gasped in astonishment. “But the stone swords will shoot out from the ground this time, so how are we going to hide?”

Ling Yun gritted his teeth. “We have no choice, we can only protect the vital parts of our bodies while taking the hits…”

Dugu Mo was so afraid that he covered his private part tightly. Sensing something amiss, he immediately covered his buttocks.

Ling Yun could hear his series of movements and laughed in amusement. “It’s pointless to cover up, you can only use weapons to block the attack!”

Dugu Mo responded naively, “Don’t you have the Devil’s Blade? Can’t you use it to dig a hole in the stone wall so that we can burrow into it for safety?”

Ling Yun laughed aloud. “Don’t you even think about it! Where are those stone swords shot out from? If I use my blade to cut the stone walls at this time, I guarantee that it will trigger a more formidable restriction!”

Ling Yun already knew that the killing spell was called the Rebellion Limitless Sword Spell and that it was used in tandem with the spells of illusion and confusion. What they had triggered could only be considered a very minor spell compared to the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell.

“Concentrate fully, demolish the barrier between yourselves and objects, protect yourselves. Here comes the third wave!” After Ling Yun instructed the two of them, they heard the sound of stone swords shooting out with laser-like precision.

Truly, all of the stone swords were shot out from the ground this time and left one virtually indefensible.

Ling Yun wildly activated the Stellar Condensation Technique as he held Little White — which was curled up into a ball — tightly against his chest. His body was forcefully bent backwards until it had formed an exaggerated angle with the ground. Then, he frantically brandished his blade behind him to sever the stone swords that had shot forth from the ground!

Even if that had been the case, he was only able to protect the region above his knees. Both his calves and feet had been pierced by the stone sword and were bleeding non-stop!

Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting were letting out a series of groans beside Ling Yun; they had evidently sustained serious injuries!

Ling Yun couldn’t attend to these matters now. He displayed a strong determination and grit his teeth as he bore the excruciating pain, enduring it until the wave of stone swords had ended before falling to the ground.

With two sounds, Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting practically tumbled to the ground at the same time. Other than Little White, which was under Ling Yun’s protection all this while, the trio was so riddled with injuries below their knees that their legs resembled sieves!

As for the giant “dragon”, it had long been lying on the ground, immobilized. It didn’t even make the slightest sound.

After the third wave of stone swords, the stone walls disappeared along with the dense white fog in an instant. The rocky cave immediately returned to a state of absolute darkness. If not for the deceased lying on the ground, it would seem as though nothing eventful had occurred.

Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes after establishing that the coast was clear. He carefully placed Little White aside before sitting up.

Ling Yun used the Healing Talismans to heal all of his wounds before walking towards Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting. He was able to see very clearly now and tossed the Healing Talismans directly onto their wounds for a quick recovery.

Smiling and visibly excited, both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting sprung to their feet simultaneously. Dugu Mo asked Ling Yun, “You used the talisman from Maoshan, right? This plaything truly matches its legendary reputation, it’s so amazing!”

Ling Yun gave a slight smile. “What talisman from Maoshan? This is the healing technique from our Immortal Physician Sect, okay?”

Dongfang Ting cupped his fists and bowed deeply. With eyes full of sincere gratitude, he said, “Little Brother Ling Yun, thank you so much for saving my life. If you ever need my assistance in the future, I won’t hesitate to go through fire and water for you!”

Ling Yun laughed aloud and waved his hand. “It’s a small matter. Alright, I’ll be deeply grateful as long as Elder Brother Dongfang doesn’t think that I’m a member of the Devil Sect, haha.”

Dugu Mo wasn’t as polite as Dongfang Ting. He circled Ling Yun in excitement and asked, “You’re really from the Immortal Physician Sect? I say, what’s that talisman charm that you have? Can you give some of them to me? This plaything is really too good!”

Ling Yun ignored him, and his gaze swept across the vicinity of the stone doors. The five corpses of Shangguan Jue and the others lay on the floor — all of their bodies resembled sieves. Fresh blood was still bubbling out of their wounds, and their deaths were most tragic.

“Hmph, these three fools nearly got us all killed in this place!” Ling Yun snorted coldly, while Dongfang Ting also grimaced and shook his head.

Dugu Mo flew over to feel the stone wall and felt the hard floor as well. He said skeptically, “Were those stone swords real or not?”

Ling Yun laughed. “These stone swords were unreal, they’re all effects of the spell formation. The pressure from the stone walls, the enveloping white fog, and the shooting stone swords were all unreal…”

Dugu Mo raised another question. “But all those stone walls and stone swords, they really hurt us! How do you explain that?”

Ling Yun frowned. “The pressure from the stone walls was the effect of the illusion spell, which would influence your mind. You would think that the stone walls are really slamming against you and use all of your power to fight back, so, of course, you would sustain internal injuries…”

“And what about the stone swords?” Dugu Mo was bent on thoroughly investigating the matter.

Ling Yun explained patiently, “It wasn’t the stone swords that hurt you. On the contrary, after the spell formation had been activated, its power had miraculously transformed into the form and intended effect of the stone swords… It was actually the power of the spell formation that was hurting you! The stone swords were unreal, but the power was real!”

“Genius, how do you know all of this? Was it taught in your Immortal Physician Sect?”

“Cut the crap!”

Ling Yun was truly unable to stand Dugu Mo’s talkativeness. He snorted and turned his head towards the giant “dragon”, which had encircled the dragon’s saliva. Wielding the Devil’s Underworld Essence Blade, he jumped lightly and landed in front of the creature.

Currently, anyone would have been able to see that the giant “dragon” had completely lost its threatening air. Even if it hadn’t perished yet, the creature had already lost its ability to attack humans. Its huge body was ridden with countless wounds; every part of it was full of sword-inflicted injuries and bleeding heavily!

Ling Yun scrutinized it. After establishing that the giant “dragon” was still alive, he began to take out a Healing Talisman.

“I say, you’re not thinking of saving it right?” Dugu Mo asked in shock.

Ling Yun laughed. “You said before that this is a rare spiritual beast. What it suffered was an undeserved catastrophe, so why not save it?”

Dongfang Ting laughed in admiration. Once again, he cupped his hands and bowed. “I didn’t think that Little Brother Ling Yun would be so compassionate. I, Dongfang Ting, am completely won over!”

Ling Yun laughed, unaffected. “It sustained such serious injuries, it’s not guaranteed that I’ll be able to save it. I can only do my best and leave the rest to it.”

After he had spoken, Ling Yun started to place the Healing Talismans on the vital parts of the giant “dragon’s” body. The creature was simply too huge. After experiencing three waves of densely packed stone swords that pierced its body, the hundreds of talismans that Ling Yun possessed was insufficient. Thus, he had to prioritize the healing of the vital parts of the giant “dragon’s” body.

The python’s vital parts were actually comprised of its head and a seven-inch radius around it. Out of the hundreds of Healing Talismans that he had, Ling Yun had a sufficient number of them to treat those two parts.

Taking the Healing Talismans, Ling Yun stuffed them piece by piece into the giant “dragon’s” wounds. Each time he did so, Ling Yun shouted, “Come!”.

Given the sheer size of the giant “dragon”, it would have been ineffective had Ling Yun merely stuck the Healing Talismans on its scales. Hence, he disregarded the bloody odor and painstakingly stuffed each of them into parts of the creature’s body that he thought were most vital so that it would take effect.

However, the giant “dragon” was already on the verge of death. There were innumerable sword-inflicted wounds on its body, and its heart had been pierced into pulp. Ling Yun was practically healing a dead “dragon” as though it were alive.

After witnessing Ling Yun’s diligent attempts to save the giant “dragon”, both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting couldn’t help but stare speechlessly at each other with a look of astonishment and admiration.

“Let us help you, Ling Yun…”

Ling Yun gave a small smile and shook his head. “Its body has long turned into pulp internally! You both don’t know the places to put the Healing Talismans for it to achieve maximum effect, so it’s better to let me do it alone!”

After spending the whole of three hours on the task, Ling Yun had practically exhausted his supply of Healing Talismans. He had only kept about seven to eight pieces of it for self-preservation, while the rest of them were used on the giant “dragon”.

Seeing Ling Yun conjure a bundle of new talismans with a flip of his hand as soon as he had finished those he was holding, both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting were thoroughly amazed and shocked by his actions. However, they knew better than to ask him about it.

All of Ling Yun’s actions were simply unconscionable. He had appeared with the Devil’s Underworld Essence Blade, and with his Qinggong which had surpassed theirs, Ling Yun had led them through the terrifying ordeal brought about by the killing spell.

All of those actions had caused them to feel deeply astounded!

After Ling Yun had completed his task, he wasn’t bothered by the bloody odor all over his body. With a shake of his body, he arrived at the puddle of milky-white dragon’s saliva.

Ling Yun turned his head towards Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting. “It’s impossible to open the three stone doors based on our current capabilities. Let’s abandon the idea of taking the Earth Emperor’s Book that you guys have been talking about. However, you can both drink a little of this substance — it will greatly benefit the cultivation of your martial arts techniques!”

“What is this?” Both Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting asked curiously. Actually, they had caught sight of the dragon’s saliva after entering the place and knew that it was definitely something good. However, they had been preoccupied with the Earth Emperor’s Book. Also, with the giant “dragon” fiercely guarding the saliva, they hadn’t dared to entertain any covetous thoughts.

Now, Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting regarded Ling Yun as their savior after he had rescued them. Despite the differences in their temperaments, the duo was open and aboveboard. Hence, they had been waiting for Ling Yun’s arrangements.

Ling Yun smiled faintly. “Since we’re now in the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell, I suspect that this ought to be the dragon’s saliva. Frankly speaking, I journeyed to this place just for this…”

“Dragon’s saliva? No wonder this giant python was guarding it fiercely and refused to let us go near it. So it had been thinking of using it to transform into a dragon…” Dugu Mo mused.

…

Ling Yun laughed inwardly. It was more the case of transforming into an alternative dragon — the creature was still a long way from transforming into a true dragon!

“But we didn’t bring any containers here, so how are we going to drink it?” Dugu Mo thought of another question and asked it gloomily.

Whether or not they were able to defeat Ling Yun in battle, Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting had already cultivated the initial stages of Houtian Realm Level Nine. If those two experts were to embarrass themselves by using their hands to scoop up the dragon’s saliva, they would probably be ridiculed by Ling Yun.

Ling Yun laughed heartily and took out a huge bottle of mineral water, as if by magic. The three of them took turns pouring the water to wash each other’s hands. Then, Ling Yun took out three other smaller bottles and gave two to them.

“After being here for so long, I’m sure you haven’t managed to have a good drink. Finish the water in those bottles before filling it up with the dragon’s saliva…”

Ling Yun smirked. It was precisely because of the spatial ring that he was able to feel superior and self-important before those two men.

Without needing Ling Yun to say those words, the duo’s unbearable thirst was awakened when they saw him taking out such a huge bottle of mineral water to wash their hands. Of course, they didn’t need an invitation to drink up — they open the bottle and started gulping the water.

Dugu Mo and his group had previously been drinking the dripping water in the humid cave to quench their thirst and hadn’t had a proper replenishment of their bodily fluids for at least twenty-four hours. Regardless of whichever expert it was, even the dragon’s saliva couldn’t compare to Ling Yun’s bottles of water at the point of extreme thirst!

“Don’t drink until you’re too full. You must leave some space in your stomach to drink up the dragon’s saliva…” Ling Yun reminded them good-naturedly.

Dugu Mo had drunk the water in a single breath and rolled onto his back. He stamped his feet in regret. “F*ck, had I known earlier that you were coming down, I would have waited for you at Tiger Cliff! Why in the world did I make the wrong choice, only to suffer its consequences?”

Ling Yun loved to add fuel to the flames. He teased, “Hey, actually, I had originally planned to come down here together with you, but who knew that you’d be so impatient as to rush down first?”

After hearing those words, Dugu Mo was filled with even more regret. His face was full of bitter remorse.

“Alright, quickly drink up the dragon’s saliva. You can both cultivate your powers straight away after drinking it. I will protect you guys during cultivation, but don’t take too long!”

Although the dragon’s saliva only consisted of a puddle, even Ling Yun’s spatial ring was unable to store it. Even if the three of them were to stay on the spot and drink it for half a month, they’d still not be able to finish it. Hence, Ling Yun didn’t feel that it had been a wasted opportunity at all.

Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting were ecstatic after hearing Ling Yun’s words. They immediately went over to fill their respective bottles with the dragon’s saliva and began drinking it.

After they drank it, both of them nodded their heads simultaneously in Ling Yun’s direction. They each found a place nearby where they could sit cross-legged and cultivate their powers in solitude.

They knew that this was tantamount to entrusting their lives to Ling Yun, but since their lives had been saved by him, they were immensely confident in him.

After they had begun their cultivation, Ling Yun smiled faintly and took out the Psychic Jade Box.
