All around, everyone was completely stunned.

They already knew the identities of Linghu Gudu and Xiang Ziyu, aware that both were disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader and that their cultivation techniques must stem from the same source. But under such circumstances, Linghu Gudu was severely injured when healing Xiang Ziyu!

Moreover, Linghu Gudu hadn’t directly touched the Yin Yang Sword Qi, he was just healing Xiang Ziyu when he was gravely injured by the Yin Yang Sword Qi that surged into Xiang Ziyu’s body. It was evident how terrifying the Yin Yang Sword Qi that had just entered Xiang Ziyu’s body was!

"Linghu..."

Sword Lord Yu Hua called out softly and was about to rush over to support Linghu Gudu, but a hand suddenly stretched out from the side to grab her.

Sword Lord Hua Yu, with an anxious look on his face, said, "Junior Sister, I know you’re worried about Dao Companion Linghu; I am worried too. But as you just saw, Dao Companion Linghu was severely injured just trying to heal Dao Companion Xiang Ziyu due to the Sword Qi in Xiang Ziyu’s body.

Now that Sword Qi has entered Dao Companion Linghu’s body as well. If you touch Dao Companion Linghu again, I’m afraid you’ll be severely injured just like Dao Companion Linghu.

I want to help him too, but the best course of action right now is to stand aside. We cannot all be severely injured; they can only rely on themselves."

As Sword Lord Hua Yu’s words fell, Linghu Gudu also struggled to get up from the ground. After all, he was not directly facing the Yin Yang Sword Qi, so he was much less injured than Xiang Ziyu. If the Sword Qi he encountered was like that which Xiang Ziyu encountered, he would have been dead by now.

"Senior Brother Hua Yu is right, don’t touch me. I can feel the remnants of the Yin Yang Sword Qi within me. Now, I can only rely on myself to expel these Yin Yang Qi.

Fortunately, my master and senior sister have refined many pills for us, including pills to treat injuries from the Yin Yang Qi!"

While speaking, Linghu Gudu reached into his Heaven and Earth Ring and took out a bottle of black and white pills, consuming them.

Then he began to circulate his cultivation technique to address his injuries.

Everyone saw that although Linghu Gudu appeared severely injured, he could still take pills and circulate his cultivation technique by himself, putting their hearts at ease. Except for Sword Lord Yu Hua, who still looked worried, everyone turned to look at Xiang Ziyu.

Xiang Ziyu was still lying on the ground, his breath weak, making it almost impossible to feel his presence.

Yet they dared not heal Xiang Ziyu at this moment.

"Give him a pill first." Immortal Lord Yun Huo suddenly said, "When Dao Companion Linghu touched Xiang Ziyu earlier, he wasn’t attacked by Sword Qi. Instead, after circulating immortal Qi and entering Dao Companion Linghu’s body, he was attacked.

We may not be able to heal his injuries, but we can give him a pill to take. I have a type of pill here..."

"Use my pill. Our Yin Yang Sect’s pill is especially effective in healing injuries from Yin Yang Qi."

The Dual Extremes Immortal Lord stood up from the ground, walked to Xiang Ziyu’s side, opened Xiang Ziyu’s mouth, and stuffed a pill in.

This pill was his life-saving pill!

Even as a master at the Peak True Immortal Realm, our Yin Yang Sect only bestowed him this life-saving pill.

This pill is truly invaluable. Even though he was previously severely injured by the Yin Yang Sword Qi, he had never considered using this pill. Not until he was on the verge of death would he use it.

But now, to save Xiang Ziyu, he could only administer this pill to him.

Although he is at the Peak True Immortal Realm, with a cultivation realm higher than Xiang Ziyu, in recent days he’s truly been impressed by Xiang Ziyu.

Xiang Ziyu is undoubtedly the future of our Human Clan.

He absolutely cannot watch Xiang Ziyu die like this, even if Xiang Ziyu is injured to this extent, even if his life-saving pill may not be enough to rescue him.

However, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, he must try, even if it ultimately wastes such a precious pill. He has no regrets!

Xiang Ziyu had never suffered such severe injuries; he had never faced such circumstances before.

Since he began his cultivation, he has experienced countless dangers.

One could even say that he has always walked the line between life and death; he’s the disciple among all those at Four Treasures Peak who has experienced life and death the most.

Many times, others only hear that he encounters danger, survives against the odds, and even gains tremendous benefits.

But few know how many dangers he has gone through, how many times he’s been on the edge of life and death!

Even when he cultivates those spells and modifies them, is it really that easy to change them?

During the modification of spells, he went through countless life and death moments!

But no previous instance of being on the edge of life and death compares to now.

The moment he was pierced by countless Yin Yang Swords, he truly felt death! He even thought he was dead!

Dead?

He’s the protagonist, how could he die!

He has yet to surpass his master, has not become the world’s number one, nor driven away the six alien races from the Human Clan’s Great Thousand World, how could he die!

Xiang Ziyu madly gathered the breath within him. With strong willpower, faint traces of immortal Qi arose from his broken meridians.

Yet as soon as these immortal Qi arose, an overwhelming wave of Yin Yang Sword Qi around him surged again, seemingly wanting to obliterate these faint traces of immortal Qi completely.
