Chapter 46: The Turning Point of Life and Death

  "Mid-term Zhūjī's Symbol Soldier!" Seeing this scene, Lěng Yuè cried out in surprise, apparently she hadn't expected that the Hei Shān Mén cultivator would still have such a precious treasure in hand.

  Lin Tianyang had also heard of the existence of Fu Bing, which was a special talisman made by refining the soul of a cultivator and sealing it in a specially crafted talisman. During battle, as long as one infused the talisman with spiritual energy, they could summon a cultivator who possessed around 70-80% of their original strength to fight.

  Actually, the earliest users of this type of talisman were the beast souls of demonic beasts, but because most demonic beasts below level 5 have no spiritual intelligence, they cannot be made into beast talismans. As a result, some of the earliest cultivators turned their attention to using the souls of fellow cultivators, and thus the soul soldiers came into being. However, using the souls of cultivators to refine soul soldiers greatly harms the harmony of heaven, making it easy for the heart demons to disturb the symbol masters, so there are not many people who are willing to refine soul soldiers. Moreover, in order to refine soul soldiers, the symbol master's divine consciousness must be much higher than that of the cultivator's soul, so most foundation-establishing period soul soldiers require a golden elixir period cultivator to refine them, making them extremely rare.

  Leng Yue saw this and gritted her teeth. A painting with a pearl-like talisman appeared in her hand, and after activating it, she immediately shot it at the symbol soldier.

  Na Fubing had just appeared, leaving only a knife mark on the wolf-shaped puppet, but was suddenly wrapped in the bead like a water bubble inside. No matter how hard it struggled or used its knife to cut, it couldn't escape from the water bubble for a while.

  Seeing the symbol soldier being trapped, Ke Dongfeng was also surprised and exclaimed: "The Lingbao Qionglong Pearl imitation product's refined symbol treasure can trap my foundation period symbol soldier. Even if it's an imitation product, it probably has one-tenth of the original Lingbao's power. It's likely that a Yuan Ying period cultivator used this treasure before. You've even taken out this treasure, it seems you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve!"

  "You even used the most powerful and desperate move, only then did you bring out your trump card to save your life!" Cold Moon retorted mercilessly.

  Ke Dongfeng's face stiffened after hearing this, and the fact was just as Leng Yue said. After all, this was the land of Lei Yan Country, and he was facing two Lei Yan Sect cultivators. He naturally hoped to end the battle quickly to avoid any unexpected situations. He had indeed brought out his most important trump card, but he hadn't expected his opponent to have a treasure like the Qiong Long Zhu imitation symbol.

  At this point in the war, neither side had any more strength left, and it gradually became a war of attrition where whichever side held out first would lose.

  Everyone knows what will happen after defeat, so at this time both sides are not stingy with spiritual stones and quickly pour the medicine that restores spiritual power into their mouths. Even three people take out intermediate spiritual stones to recover in order to supplement a little more magic.

  The martial arts have reached a point where there is no skill to speak of, and it's all about who has more spiritual medicine in their storage bag.

  Lin Tianyang has been in and out of the Tongtian Tower many times, so he naturally has a lot of spiritual energy-recovering medicine. Unfortunately, most of them are more suitable for Qi-refining stage cultivators. For example, the Hui Ling Dan can fill up his spiritual energy with just two pills during the Qi-refining stage, but now even a whole bottle can only barely recover half of his spiritual energy. Fortunately, Leng Yue's family also has some, and after taking two bottles of dan medicine from Lin Tianyang, she also took out more suitable for foundation-building stage cultivators to recover their spiritual energy - Ju Ling Dan.

  Ke Dongfeng also took out the Jiling Dan to take after the two started taking the rapid recovery medicine, and in his many years in Leiyang Country, he had also robbed many foundation-building cultivators, so naturally there were not a few good things on hand.

  In this way, both sides began to consume each other constantly. Two hours later, the fake Longwangzhu symbol and the symbol soldier almost simultaneously exhausted their power and became two useless pieces of paper.

  After more than half a day, Leng Yue, who had been using the counterfeit Qīnglóngzhū symbol, finally ran out of the medicine that restored her spiritual energy due to excessive consumption. Lin Tianyang wanted to find another bottle of Dan medicine to give to her, but discovered that he couldn't even find any more in his storage bag. He could only pour two pellets from a bottle of Jùlíngdān into Leng Yue's mouth.

  Ke Dongfeng saw Lin Tianyang's movements and burst out laughing: "Haha, it seems that your elixirs are almost exhausted. Although this time I lost a lot of Recovery Elixirs to restore my spiritual power, as long as I can catch you, everything is still worth it."

  When Lin Tianyang and Leng Yue heard this, they felt a chill in their hearts. Lin Tianyang gritted his teeth, took the jade bottle with only three Jiling Dan left, and threw it to Leng Yue along with the bottle. He then transmitted his voice: "Leng Shizi, the situation is now critical, if you and I continue to consume our energy, we may not be able to hold on. This place is only two thousand miles away from the capital, where there are two or three fellow disciples of our sect who have built their foundation. Wait a moment, I will use my technique to break open a gap in the sky, you can leave through that gap. I will try my best to stall this person for a while, with your speed, I believe you can definitely make it there!"

  Leng Yue was taken aback, Lin Tianyang was actually willing to risk his life to create an opportunity for her, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved, even thinking of some things that had happened after following her master.

  Leng Yue knew she was extremely beautiful, and after building her foundation, many male cultivators showed their affection for her. However, her master warned her repeatedly not to trust those men and cited countless examples of couples turning against each other for the sake of benefits. But at this moment, Lin Tianyang's selfless sacrifice made Leng Yue somewhat doubt her master's teachings.

  Lin Tianyang saw Leng Yue without any reaction, and immediately anxiously said: "Leng Shizi, don't hesitate anymore, Shizi should leave quickly. If you really escape this disaster, your disciple only hopes that after you have the ability, you will kill Yun Haitian for me, and I won't ask for anything else!"

  "Junior brother, would you rather die for me?" asked Leng Yue's voice, still somewhat disbelieving.

  Lin Tianyang smiled bitterly in his heart: "Leng Shijie, if there's a chance to survive, I wouldn't be willing to die. With my speed, even if I escaped, it would be impossible. Rather than that, I'd rather use all my strength to help you escape. Moreover, if it weren't for your timely intervention earlier, I would have already died. Now, however, I've instead caused you to fall into a desperate situation, and my heart is extremely uneasy. For the sake of repaying you, I'm willing to make this sacrifice."

  Lin Tianyang's words were reasonable and touching, and Leng Yue now completely believed that Lin Tianyang was indeed willing to sacrifice his life to save her.

  At this time, Leng Yue suddenly remembered that when her master drove away a core disciple who showed love to herself, she asked her master a question: if there was a male cultivator willing to sacrifice his life to protect herself, shouldn't he be trusted too?

  Leng Yue remembered that at the time, Master suddenly fell silent and afterwards did not directly answer himself, only saying that such a person is impossible to appear, even if there is one, it would have died long ago!

  At first, I was also a bit unconvinced, thinking that there must be such people in the world. But after many years, Cold Moon saw more of the ruthless side of the cultivation world and gradually came to believe Master's words. Yet, at this moment, such a man really appeared.

  "Cool sister, I'm going to take action! You get ready to leave!" Lin Tianyang transmitted his voice to Leng Yue again, then he took off the spiritual beast bag from his waist and threw it at her, saying: "Sister, this is a spiritual beast Golden Horned Seven-Colored Python left by a good friend who died to save me. I had sworn before that I would take good care of it, but now I can no longer do so. Sister, please take it with you and take good care of it for me from now on!"
