Chapter 60: The Price of Underestimating your Opponents. (1/2)

Qin Yu was using the “Secrets of Eternal Life” to cure Qing Yun. Her injuries were extremely severe, to the extent that he was not done healing her even until now. However, Dugu Feiyan and Li Yijian were now cornering them while emitting murderous auras.

“Qin Yu, it’s them! Don’t mind me and leave quickly!” Qing Yun stared hard at the two who were coming closer and spoke with anxiety.

Qin Yu sat behind Qing Yun and his palms were pressed on her back. He revolved the “Refining Qi” powers of the “Secrets of Eternal Life” and rapidly directed its energy into Qing Yun’s body. It swiftly healed the injuries within her.

They were at the crucial moment of the healing process and all of their efforts would be in vain if they were to give up now.

“Don’t move, you don’t have to care about anything. Just cooperate with me while I circulate my energy.” Qin Yu spoke and his tone resembled that of an order. On his forehead were beads of sweat.

“But…” Qing Yun’s heart quivered and she felt touched from the bottom of her heart.

“Hang in there for a while and trust me. I’m here – nothing will happen.” Qin Yu’s tone softened a little.

Qing Yun was silent for a moment. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was deeply moved.

“Okay, I trust you.” After that, she closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing to cooperate with Qin Yu fully. She could not be bothered with those cornering them now. Even if she was to die here, she would have no regrets. Numerous people had already died here today. Ever since she stepped in here, she was ready for death. At least, someone had moved her heart for the last time before death.

“The both of you better step back. Otherwise, you would have to bear the consequences!”

When Dugu Feiyan and Li Yijian were less than a meter away, Qin Yu coldly spat out a threat as he released an icy aura that extended towards the two and sought to pressure the both of them.

Dugu Feiyan walked in front and snickered in disdain. “Save it. You’re as good as dead.”

“We’re not sure who’s going to die yet.” Qin Yu’s voice got even colder as his aura got stronger.

“A mere cripple at the Origin Realm. How dare you act so arrogant in front of me? I’ll send you to hell now.” Dugu Feiyan released a murderous aura as a cold green light flickered in her hand. She unsheathed a long sword. It was precisely the Qingfeng sword she snatched from Qing Yun.

With the treasured sword in hand, Dugu Feiyan was as arrogant as ever. “Although I could not make it to the tenth story for the Promoting Pill, killing you would also get me one.”

You must be so desperate for the pill that you became crazy just from thinking about it.” Qin Yu replied, ridicule thick in his voice. He was currently trying his best to delay for time.

“Obviously you would be ignorant about this. When you had barged in, Official Song was infuriated. Hence, he promised us direct admission to the next round as well as a Black Grade Promoting Pill as long as we killed you.”

Qin Yu’s brows creased at what Dugu Feiyan said. His sarcastic smile deepened. “You’re pathetic. From the moment you’ve entered the Illusory Battlefield, you are already destined to be the hunted and the sacrifice of a royal battle. It’s funny how you would believe in a dog official’s verbal promise. You’re stupid beyond comprehension.”

“I would be stupid if I were to trust you.” Dugu Feiyan snickered.

“Feiyan, he is delaying for time. ” Lin Yijian stepped up to remind her.

“I’m aware.” Fugu Feiyan replied indifferently. “He’s a dead man anyway, it’s fine to let him speak.”

“Both of us may have to die here because no one is getting out of this tower.” Qin Yu’s tone was as calm as ever and seemed to be completely undisturbed by the both of them.

“Bullshit. A man has already left before us.” Li Yijian replied. Mo Badao was ahead of them initially and he was nowhere to be seen. He must have already left. However, the truth was bound to leave Li Yijian disappointed.

“He’s right, we can’t make it out of this tower.” A deep cold voice came from behind him. A black silhouette flashed as a man jumped up from the entrance below.

“Mo Badao?” Dugu Feiyan and Li Yijian were both stunned.

“You haven’t left?” Li Yijian asked with an apathetic expression as he obstructed Mo Badao by standing in front of him.

“The path is blocked at the first story and I could only come back.” Mo Badao replied expressionlessly.

“Blocked?” Everyone quivered. The path being blocked meant that all of them could not leave and would be stuck here forever.

“Are you speaking the truth?” Dugu Feiyan’s face turned pale. She did not care about Qin Yu and spun around to question Mo Badao loudly. She did not want to die here! She had a great life ahead and a bright future.

“You can go look for yourself if you don’t trust me.” Mo Badao replied with a stern face.

“This…, Yijian, what do we do?” Dugu Feiyan looked towards Li Yijian with anxiety and indignance in her eyes.

Li Yijian calmed himself down first. “Feiyan, keep calm first. I think that the tower would not remain closed as such. When the battle above is over and there is a result, the tower should be opened.”

Upon hearing what Li Yijian had said, Dugu Feiyan’s brows eased as she understood. “Right, the tower wouldn’t be closed forever. Hmph, Qin Yu, you want to use this method for us to let you off? Do you think that’s possible? You have to die today!” Dugu Feiyan spun around as she pointed her sword at Qin Yu and shouted.
