Chapter 178 (1/2)

A wave of pain could be felt from his meridians, as though they were about to be torn apart! Ling Tian suddenly realized that he had forgotten something important! His inner qi trickled into his inner core slowly at the start with the majority of his inner qi flowing into his inner core from the attraction of the whirlpool. The whole process took an extremely long period of time. To suddenly disperse the whirlpool formed by the inner qi, it was like a shocked dragon going into a crazed state, rampaging through all of his meridians! For his originally calm meridians to suffer such a shock, how was it possible for them to not be destroyed? How was it possible for his meridians to not be damaged?

Ling Tian finally understood why those who attacked the ninth stage in his past life would die from their meridians being ruptured! However, it was already too late!

At this moment, it was useless to regret! Since he had decided to make such a risky move, he must bear the consequences!

Since regret was useless, the best thing for him to do was to find a way to survive!

Ling Tian forcefully bore with the pain in his body; in this instant, Ling Tian felt as though all of his meridians were ruptured as his skin became bloated. His vessels could be seen surfacing on his skin as blood droplets seeped out from his skin! At this moment, only a small amount of his inner qi had been dispersed from his inner core…

Ling Chen was seated by the door, looking at Ling Tian cultivate with a sweet smile on her face. Looking at the focused look of her beloved man, Ling Chen felt a sense of tranquility and fortune in her heart!

All of a sudden, Ling Chen’s eyes widened in shock! She saw Ling Tian’s face contort in pain as his skin began to bloat up. Then, blood seeped out from his skin slowly, gradually increasing over time…

After being nurtured by Ling Tian over the years, Ling Chen was already extremely familiar with Ling Tian’s Divine Shocking Dragon Formula. While she knew that such a situation would happen when Ling Tian tried to break through into the ninth stage, she could not help but be startled in her heart!

She then suddenly remembered Ling Tian’s instructions, ”Cold and heat will stimulate each other and the positive and negative will complement each other. Chen’er, when I attack the ninth stage, I probably can’t do it without you!” Without any hesitation, her body appeared in front of Ling Tian as she placed her palm on Ling Tian’s chest. Exerting some force, a wave of cold inner qi was transmitted!

Ling Tian cried out bitterly in his heart! The inner qi in my body was already too much to begin with. Of all times to come, you choose to intervene at such a time. I am really suffering from my own deeds! But at that moment, Ling Tian was using all of his energy to suppress the chaotic inner qi rus.h.i.+ng at his meridians and could not speak. It was difficult for him to even move his lips!

The moment Ling Chen’s inner qi entered Ling Tian’s body, it broke up into a few waves and flowed to his meridians along with his own inner qi!

The pressure his meridians were suffering from was already at its extreme! Cracks could already be seen on his skin as blood oozed out! The meridians on his body were already about to be ruptured!

Ling Chen’s face was filled with tears as she continued to transmit her inner qi into Ling Tian’s body.

Suddenly, the chaotic inner qi in Ling Tian’s body seemed to have detected Ling Chen’s ice cold inner qi and began to return to his inner core in a fit of rage!

It was like ice suddenly being added to a pot of boiling oil. With the addition of something cold, the boiling oil would definitely evaporate this piece of ice before restoring its original boiling state! If Ling Tian’s body was like the boiling oil, the inner qi transmitted by Ling Chen was like the ice cube!

Upon contact, Ling Chen was exposed to a full force attack of qi from Ling Tian! She let out a groan as her body flew into the air, spitting out a glob of blood in mid-air! Her body then slammed into the wall before she rebounded on to the ground!

With her last shred of consciousness, she looked at Ling Tian again and realized that while Ling Tian’s face was still red, his skin no longer showed signs of being ruptured. She then felt a sense of ease as she fell unconscious again!

Ling Tian felt that there was a short gap when all of his inner qi flowed back to his inner core! Although he knew that Ling Chen was seriously injured, Ling Tian couldn't stop. The moment his inner qi went crazy again, he would no longer have the ability to turn the situation around! Thus, he suppressed the worry he had for Ling Chen.

He would only be able to save his lover after saving himself. This feeling of love would usually cause an inexplicable strength to burst forth, creating a miracle. The phrase, ‘to survive for love’, was indeed true.
