Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1737 - 1742: I Cannot Die

But compared to before, the Dark Venerable seemed more desolate.

His clothes were tattered in some places.

Most notably, his arm had lost its original color.

Now it was covered in a layer of blood red.

You could vaguely see flesh protruding from the cracks in his arm.

Although this arm was no longer decent to look at,

the Dark Venerable felt no pain whatsoever.

It was as if his whole body and mind were numb.

Unable to feel pain.

"The true annihilation is just beginning, are you intending to back down?"

Xia Liu’s body also felt uncomfortable.

But even if his foundation was destroyed,

he would still kill the Dark Venerable.

It was only a matter of time before he recovered.

Leaving the Dark Venerable alive would pose a great threat to this world.

Xia Liu clearly understood the balance of the situation.

"Daoist Xia, that’s enough. Both of us are in bad shape now. Frankly, if we both perish, what do you gain?"

The Dark Venerable felt the impact of the power surging inside him and was very uncomfortable.

If Xia Liu struck again, the consequences would be dire.

The Dark Venerable was panicked.

He thought that by refining the Blood Darkness Power, he could be invincible in the world.

But he still ran into Xia Liu.

All he wanted now was to leave, to hide far away.

Until he raised his energy body to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Then, killing Xia Liu would be as easy as killing a chicken.

"Your death holds a significance that can’t be put into words for me and everyone under Heaven, so you’ll just have to endure it."

Xia Liu’s voice was cold, with no expression on his face.

The murderous intent lingering in the air made everyone’s hair stand on end.

They all understood, Xia Liu was truly enraged!

Today, he must kill the Dark Venerable!

"Xia Liu, I know you are determined to kill me, but let me warn you, if I die, this world will turn completely dark before long!"

"What do you mean?"

"Kaifan! What exactly are you trying to say?"

"If you’re dead, doesn’t that mean the evil forces are completely annihilated, with Daoist Xia revered by all cultivators under Heaven? Where comes the talk of darkness?"

The renowned Martial Emperor disagreed with the Dark Venerable’s words.

The cultivators of the world were united.

The Kunwu Realm would certainly not fall into chaos.

Xia Liu hailed from the Huaxia Realm.

He was its representative, with another force on that side, making it even less likely for the world to plunge into darkness.

Liu Tian stared straight at the Dark Venerable: "Kaifan, you have a chance to turn back, as long as you disperse all your abilities..."

"Liu Tian! We’ve known each other for a hundred years, yet you’re still as naive as before?"

Not letting Liu Tian finish, the Dark Venerable scolded helplessly.

"Do you really..."

"I do not need to explain myself to you, if you insist on grinding my bones into powder, I’ll just leave you with this: if I die, the Dark Abyss will open, and whatever you encounter, you’re on your own!"

"Dark Venerable, what do you really know?"

Xia Liu felt that something was very wrong.

The Blood Darkness Power of the Dark Venerable was obtained from the Dark Abyss.

Now with what he said, it sent chills down everyone’s spine.

"Always leave a path for others, so you may meet again in the future. I promise there won’t be any conflict in the coming years, and as for those I’ve killed, let Si Yin atone on my behalf."

"Heh..."

Xia Liu coldly laughed.

He could see through it.

Trying to lure him with tricky words and then making meaningless promises.

There’s no way Xia Liu would spare someone who attacked him from behind!

Letting the Dark Venerable leave today could mean that he would capture the people of Osmanthus Village in the Huaxia Realm.

The consequences of that would be unimaginable.

Thus, today the Dark Venerable must die!

"I can’t let you live today, so show your full strength!"

"Damn it!"

Seeing the Power of Righteous Law erupt from Xia Liu, the Dark Venerable’s face dramatically changed.

He originally meant to scare him.

But ended up unable to leave safely.

"If that’s the case, then accept fate!"

The Dark Venerable roared, Blood Darkness Power surged, the sky instantly turned blood red.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, the figure of the Dark Venerable vanished into thin air.

Along with it, the strong Blood Darkness Power also disappeared.

"He actually ran without fighting..."

Countless cultivators were shocked.

They recalled when they first came to the Secluded Valley, how formidable and terrifying the Dark Venerable was.

Yet he ended up like this.

Xia Liu is truly frightening.

"Dao Master, now what do we do?"

Unable to probe the Dark Venerable’s presence with their Divine Sense, Yi Xiu couldn’t help but ask.

He naturally wanted the Dark Venerable to fall on the spot.

But having the Blood Darkness Power, his speed and range of movement were beyond what he could comprehend.

"Naturally, I’ll finish him off with my own hands!"

Xia Liu opened his eyes and, after confirming a location, an ancient Seal Form rose and fell between his hands.

"Heaven and Earth Movement!"

The low rumble echoed, and in the next moment, within a radius of fifty miles, there was no sign of Xia Liu.

"Heaven and Earth Movement? Outside of Blood Shield and Forbidden Techniques, it can directly move fifty miles away..."

"Supposedly this is the power of the Foundation Establishment stage, truly awe-inspiring..."

"Foundation Establishment Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, we ordinary cultivators might need a lifetime to aspire to reach that."

The crowd sighed deeply. Suddenly, waves came from the distant sky.

Only after they removed the barriers did everyone carefully sense it.

It was the residual waves created by the clash between the Power of Righteous Law and Blood Darkness Power.

Don’t underestimate those waves.

With the Martial Emperor’s cultivation, approaching within ten miles of the battle site,

he was powerless to get closer, and might even be severely injured by the waves.

No one dared to advance.

Nor would they retreat.

Unless Xia Liu returned victorious.

This wait lasted an entire day and night.

At night, the distant sky alternated between bursts of light

and periods of complete silence.

This went on for three days!

Finally, all the blazing smoke and fire ceased.

No one knew the result.

Still, no one dared to move a step forward.

Because the pressure in the void ahead was even sharper.

Even more nerve-wracking.

They even had the illusion.

That if they dared to take one more step, their energy body would be dismantled.

Everyone waited anxiously.

Praying in their hearts that the one appearing would be Xia Liu.

About ten minutes later, a blood-red figure appeared in the Divine Sense of Yi Xiu and the Martial Emperor’s team.

Thud!

Yi Xiu, Tiannan, and Liu Tian fell to their knees.

Their eyes turning slightly red.

Thud!

They almost started to have wild thoughts, but when their Divine Sense confirmed the returnee, they involuntarily knelt to the ground.

The imperial family powerhouses did the same.

It is said that a man’s kneel should carry the value of gold.

But this time, as top powerhouses of the Kunwu Realm, they had no complaints or regrets.

Because the one they worshipped was a hero of this land!

The savior!

He fought bravely for the peace of this land.

And now he returned safely.

But the blood-red cloak draped over him was deeply affecting.

Dyed red with his own blood!

And Xia Liu’s arm hung powerless.

The flesh and bones within were likely shattered.

To battle to such lengths.

He deserves respect and admiration...
