The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 60: The Life-Death Battle

Sudden development happens too quickly. In the time it took the spark to fly from a piece of stone, the number of cultivators who were at the eighth level of Qi Condensation was reduced from three to two. The remaining two were breathless, but had little time to ponder over the matter, and continued towards Bai Xiaochun.

Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth as he flew back, slammed into the tree and simultaneously pulled the huge sword from his chest. He quickly slashed the sword at one of the two remaining opponents. However, his target nimbly dodged to the side, allowing his partner to get close, whereupon his right hand flashed with a spell motion, and an overwhelming force exploded.

An explosion echoed as Bai Xiaochun was sent flying through the air, blood spurting everywhere. His clothes were now completely soaked in blood when the two cultivators of the Luochen Clan wore them. It seemed that this was an unfortunate situation, but Bai Xiaochun had yet to give up; he was desperate to live. Roaring, he made a spell move, summoning a long spear, a huge axe, and two flying swords.

Using the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art, he sent a weapon slashing viciously towards his enemy.

The faces of the two cultivators of the Luochen Clan fell. They quickly unleashed a magical technique, causing a boundless black fog to appear. A boom rang out, and the magic device Bai Xiaochun had just launched fell apart to the ground. At the same time, Bai Xiaochun himself staggered backwards, blood spilling from his mouth.

"It's time to end!" For the third time, the two cultivators attacked. As the strength of their cultivation base erupted, it seemed like they would take down Bai Xiaochun at any moment.

"Stay alive!" he said with a hoarse voice, a ray of madness in his eyes. "I must live!"

His internal spiritual energy was twinkling on the verge of stuttering completely, but he let out a roar, and all the power he had built up over the years of planting, were, the power that had seeped into his hallways and qi bones, exploded like hundreds of streams.

RUUUUUMBLE!

Up to this point in the battle, Bai Xiaochun had not asked for any remnants of this spiritual energy, but now, at this critical moment of danger, he did. They flowed into the main qi passageway, and in the blink of an eye, had turned into a huge river. As it flowed through his body, a thumping drum-like sound exploded within him.

At the same time, fluctuations of the cultivation base of the seventh level of Qi Condensation suddenly erupted.

When his two opponents, who were at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, suddenly felt a fluctuation of the cultivation base coming from him, their faces flickered in shock and disbelief.

"Making a breakthrough in the middle of a battle!?!?"

"How .... how is that possible?!?!" As they staggered in surprise, Bai Xiaochun looked up, and his eyes shone brightly. The surge of spiritual power could not heal his wounds, but it could revive him from his lethargic state, and give him one more chance to get out of the situation alive.

He leaped forward towards the two cultivators of the Luochen Clan, who were screaming in fear as a black light covered his right hand, and the Throat Releasing Clutch was released.

A cracking sound rang out when one of his opponents, unable to dodge, was pulled towards Bai Xiaochun's right hand. It was almost as if some invisible force was dragging him to Bai Xiaochun, who was summarizing his neck.

His friend looked, his scalp tingling in shock. When Bai Xiaochun turned to look at him, the man screamed, his eyes shining with fear as he fell into the retreat.

"Crown Prince, save me !!" This was the only surviving clan member at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, shouting for help.

Currently, Chen Heng was still ninety meters away. Seeing what was happening, he roared furiously.

"Do you want to die!?!?"

Bai Xiaochun did not even look at him; he directly showed the movements of the spell with his right hand and showed. Immediately, the magic devices that fell in the area began to tremble, and then let out a dron sound as they seemed to sense Bai Xiaochun calling them.

Then they suddenly flew into the air, moving much faster than before, speeding towards the approaching Chen Heng to block his path.

The sound of explosions rang out as Chen Heng was forced to deal with the weapons. He was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, but even he could not directly pass through them.

As Chen Heng was being delayed, Bai Xiaochun approached the remaining cultivators. Eyes flashing with killing intent, he unleashed a fist strike.

Explosions echoed out, and blood spurted from the man's mouth. He was just about to continue retreating, but did not realize that Bai Xiaochun had just made a spell move with his left hand. A wooden sword appeared behind the man, closing silently and then stabbing his head with a rain of blood.

The man's eyes widened as he fell to the ground, where he twitched a few times, blood flowing out of his mouth. Then his eyes faded, and he died.

After finishing these things, Bai Xiaochun staggered to the side. Even though he had just experienced a breakthrough of his cultivation base, the series of deadly moves he had just released had almost completely dried him up. Blood continued to flow out of his mouth as he once again slid into the forest.

He knew that his last opponent was the strongest among all of them, and could already sense that he was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

There is no third option.

As he retreated, Chen Heng howled furiously. He was surrounded by a mist of blood, which caused the magic device to tremble, and then it began to crack. A moment later, they exploded, and Chen Heng darted out from within the blood mist. When he looked around at his three dead compatriots, he roared furiously, then shot after Bai Xiaochun.

The two of them drove through the nameless mountain forest, heading deeper and deeper. Thunder exploded, even though it was daytime. There was no lightning in sight, but the rain was falling more and more.

"Are you Shangguan Tianyou, or Lu Tianlei !?" Shouted Chen Heng. He quickly performed a spell move, causing nine streams of blood mist to shoot towards Bai Xiaochun, like nine blood-colored anacondas.

"I'm your grandfather!" Bai Xiaochun retorted, even though his face was pale. After dodging the attack, he glanced back at the crown prince, who was getting closer at the moment. Shaking, he crouched down, then shot forward at an even greater speed. Even as Chen Heng prepared to do the same, Bai Xiaochun's leg hit a tree, stopping him mid-flight.

Then, he twisted, borrowing the momentum of the tree as it returned to shoot towards Chen Heng.

"I don't care who you are," Chen Heng said, "today, you will die!" A killing intent flickered in his eyes, and his right hand flashed with a movement of incantation. The nine blood anacondas once again shot towards Bai Xiaochun with gaping jaws.

Bai Xiaochun's eyes were red as he howled. His hand waved in a two-handed incantation move as he harnessed his remaining spiritual energy to form a purple cauldron. The cauldron instantly spread around him, completely blocking the path of the nine blood anacondas as he smashed into Chen Heng.

"Kids' game!" Chen Heng said with a cold laugh. Another spell movement turned the nine blood anacondas into mist, which then re-formed around them in the form of blood-colored skulls. Then the skull shot towards the violet cauldron.

A huge explosion rang out as the violet cauldron cracked and then exploded. The skull of the blood mist was significantly damaged, but remained intact.

After the collision, the crumbling cauldron revealed Bai Xiaochun, who shot out from the fragmented remains towards the fog beneath.

At the same time, Chen Heng's eyes flickered. Then he leaped upwards from the mist, his right hand emitting a spell motion to produce a ferocious ghost face.

At the same time, he threw his head back and looked at Bai Xiaochun.

Their eyes met, and then they slammed into each other, one using fists, the other with palms. A black light flashed as the Undying Iron Skin acted in action to fulfill the strange magical technique that was the face of a ghost.

A deafening explosion sounded. Blood gushed out from Bai Xiaochun's mouth, and a cracking sound rang out from within him as he was sent falling backwards like a kite with his rope cut off, to slam into a nearby tree.

Chen Heng was shaken, and his face was pale. His Qi and blood were turbulent, and shock filled him about how powerful Bai Xiaochun was. However, he instantly shot back towards his opponent, raising his right hand, which caused all the fog in the area to form together into a large, blood-colored face that shattered towards Bai Xiaochun.

Bai Xiaochun's eyes flickered with the ferocity that came from being pushed into a corner. He twisted in the air, pointing towards Chen Heng to release the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art.

He did not use it to control random objects, but instead, Chen Heng's body! It was a technique that Chen Heng had never heard of before. Suddenly, a powerful force wrapped around him, as if a gigantic hand had grabbed him.

He laughed coldly as his cultivation base erupted, and a blood-colored face howled, causing Bai Xiaochun's spiritual energy to shatter. At the same time, Chen Heng trembled.

It was at that moment that the wooden sword shot towards him, and Bai Xiaochun also stormed over, holding nothing back as he summoned the full might of the Eternal Iron Skin.

"What a joke!" Said Chen Heng, flicking his sleeves. A blood-colored face passed through him, smashing towards the wooden sword. When the two met, the wooden sword trembled, but it did not break. Instead, it pierced the face, opening a crack.

Bai Xiaochun dove through the gap, relying on the Undead Iron Skin to deal with the injuries. As he shot, Chen Heng's eyes flickered, and he performed a spell motion with his right hand.

The wave of fingers caused an arc of blood-colored light to appear, a curved blade that sliced towards Bai Xiaochun.

In the blink of an eye, a blood-colored light curled up against Bai Xiaochun, who was coughing up a mouthful of blood. However, his fist, supported by the full might of his cultivation base, skyrocketed.

An explosion rang out as Chen Heng was pushed back by a few steps, his face drained of blood. However, Bai Xiaochun was not finished yet. At this moment, it seemed like he was really interested in his strength and even his life force.

RUUUUUMBLE!
