56 The Universal Force (1/2)

Many years ago, Ding Jun was one of the followers of the Heavenly Temptress. He had pretended to join Xiao Boyi, Yuan Tieqi and You Nikuang in a rebellion against the Heavenly Temptress. Unknown to everyone, Jing Xing who had died in defense of the Heavenly Temptress had actually pledged herself to Ding Jun and they were actually a loving secret couple.

So when Xiao Boyi, Yuan Tieqi and You Nikuang had killed Jing Xing in the ensuring rebellion, Ding Jun secretly sworn to avenge her and founded the Sacred Divine Sect to continue the legacy of the Invincible Divine Clan.

Dugu Zhen said coldly, ”So you want to know who is our Holy leader is? Only the elders of the Sacred Divine Clan know who the Holy Leader really is. Not even the likes of Gongsun Bai have that knowledge.”

Lingfeng interrupted coldly, ”The heretic sect can claim to be holy? What a joke! Your leader is nothing but a coward who hides in the darkness.”

Dugu Zhen hummed coldly as she looked at Ding Yun.

Ding Yun gazed at everyone intently before she said, ”Look no further. I am the Holy Leader of the Sacred Divine Clan.”

Ji Wuzheng was in disbelief that the Holy Leader would actually be a young maiden, ”You…you are the Holy Leader of the Sacred Divine Clan?”

Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le, Qiu Wufeng, Yu'Er, Mei'Er, Lingfeng and Huo Fu were equally startled!

Ding Yun said with quiet demeanor, ”You only have this one chance to kill me.”

Xiao Youxue had already raised her hands and her fingers were surrounded by a golden halo as she said melancholy, ”Sister Yun, forgive me. What you did to Sister Lie Qing is deplorable and unforgivable. I really have no choice but to fight you today.”

Ding Yun clapped her hands gently and immediately, the Three Evils of the West had sped forward and were standing beside her! ”But you must also know that the Holy Leader of the Sacred Divine Clan cannot be so easily killed.”

Dugu Zhen added coldly, ”No one can stop us from ascending to be Celestials today!”

The Blood Heretic hummed coldly in his old voice, ”What a pity, what a pity that we have to kill so many beauties today.”

The Moon Heretic said, ”Remember, don't kill them so fast. We need their blood and hearts after we have ascended to be Celestials in order to recuperate. Just disable them will do.”

The Blade Heretic sighed, ”You know that each time I draw my blade, I have to feed it with the lifeblood of its victims? This is really too hard for me…”

The Blood Heretic laughed wickedly, ”You can kill the weaker ones. We have no use for them. Remember, our next opponent is the Celestial Palace. So we need to recuperate fast.”

Ji Wuzheng interrupted quickly, ”Zhen, listen to me. It is not as easy to ascend to be a Celestial as you think. What you intending to do is the unorthodox way and will result in divine retribution. It will turn you into bloodthirsty monsters and many will be sacrificed. Do you really want that to happen?”

Dugu Zhen smile coldly, ”As long as I can be a Celestial and have an immortal life, does it really matter? What does the life of others matter to me?”

Ji Wuzheng was startled! ”Zhen, you have changed…”

Dugu Zhen hummed coldly, ”You're wrong. It just that you have never really understands me. How much time have you been with me? You just too busy for your martial cultivations. Even if I don't want to take the Heavenly Relic from you, do you know that Xiao Shuai and his conspirators are all eyeing the Heavenly Relic as well? It is because they too, want to be a Celestial and have been planning for decades. They are all waiting for the Seven Stars to be aligned, a Celestial Omen that could make their ascendant much easier.”

She walked gently to Ding Yun and tapped lightly, ”Do you know that before I have married you, I have already another daughter? Dugu Yunzi, today you can finally use the Dugu clan name.”

Ji Wuzheng, Lingfeng, Youxue and the others were stunned…

Ji Wuzheng stammered, ”Maiden Ding Yun is actually…your daughter?”

Dugu Yunzi was trembling lightly as she said softly, ”That's right. She is my mother and I am Dugu Yunzi. When the Ding clan found the Sacred Divine Clan, we have since taken Dugu as our secret clan name even though we are still known as the Ding Clan while in the Virtuous Palace.”

The Moon Heretic had suddenly raised his hands with a mighty flurrying of windforce as he attacked Ji Wuzheng, ”That's enough talk already. No one can stop us from becoming Celestials today. The Heavenly Relic must be seized today and the Holy Maiden must be the blood sacrifice!”

Immediately after the Moon Heretic had displayed his martial force forward, Ji Wuzheng had immediately reacted with a counter blow. As both clashed with their palms, there were a thunderous impact. Almost immediately Ji Wuzheng had coughed out blood as he was forced to slide five steps backward!

The Moon Heretic was his superior in internal strength and martial power!

But before the Moon Heretic could continue on his advantage, Youxue and Lingfeng had immediately attacked him!

The Moon Heretic laughed coldly, ”I am in luck. I have two beauties here that are interested in me.”

Lingfeng interrupted coldly, ”Shameless!”

Xiao Youxue and Lingfeng were experts in swiftness agility and movement skills as they immediately unleashed dozens of shadowy flurries on the Moon Heretic. However to their astonishment, the Moon Heretic had matched their blows with equal fast shadowy attacks as he laughed coldly. ”Is that what you got? I am expecting better!”

Lingfeng was now displaying the Sacred Heart Skill as she made dozens of flurry strokes in front of the Moon Heretic. It was a deadly skill that was part of the Holy Hex martial skills that could break the pulses of her target. Now that she was back to the Holy Hex Sect, there was now no need for her to conceal her true skills. Her attacking speed, her swiftness skill and even her martial power were greatly augmented when she imbued herself with the Holy Amalgamate Force!

Lingfeng said coldly to the Moon Heretic, ”You don't dare to kill me, am I right? Then it may be a costly mistake for you and you will never be able to ascend!”

The Moon Heretic said coldly as he looked at her lustfully, ”There is worst fate than death itself. I can let you have a taste of that.”

Even as she changed her stances rapidly, executing deadly secret martial techniques like the neutralizing martial power of the Great Dissolution Skill and the bursting power of the Asper Horizon Hand, she still could not scratched the Moon Heretic even though Youxue was also fighting beside her and were using all her best techniques as well!

Just as Ji Wuzheng had recovered from the blow that he had just received from the Moon Heretic, Dugu Zhen had attacked him as she executed the Swallow Slash movement by dashing towards him and displaying the third and fifth stance of her Cherry Blossoms techniques, the Windchaser Slide and the Mirror Reflection Splitting Images!

Huo Fu immediately intercepted as he shouted, ”Brother, watch out!”

At the same time that Dugu Zhen had made her move, the Blade Heretic had already drawn his sword and had leapt towards the Heavenly Relic!

Ji Wuzheng shouted, ”Don't let them seize the Heavenly Relic!”

Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng had immediately displayed their best swordplay techniques at the Blade Heretic!

The Blade Heretic immediately slashed at Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng with lightning speed, slashing them and spilling their blood! ”If you want to stop me, I am afraid that you are still early by tens of decades!”

If it were not for Yu'Er and Mei'Er who had also made their moves and displayed their swordplay at the Blade Heretic; Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng would have been killed in an instant!

The Blade Heretic was startled to see such an astonishing sword display from the twin sisters. Even as he slashed his sword at them with pin-point accuracy, he was met with a sudden resistant. ”The Divine Emerald Skill? You are from the Eternal Ice Palace?”

Yu'Er said coldly, ”That's right! Prepare to…”

But before she could finish, the Blade Heretic had imbued his sword with strong deadly sword energy and broke her Divine Emerald Force, sending her scurrying backward!

Mei'Er immediately blocked the second stroke of the Blade Heretic with her cold sword energy, preventing the Blade Heretic from moving forward as she cried panicky. ”Sister, watch out…”

Yu'Er gasped as she quickly recovered from the attack and she had flew to Mei'Er again, ”The Shifting Stellar Duo Sword Formation, sister! Two in one, one into two!”

The Shifting Stellar Duo Sword Formation and the Shifting Stellar Trio Sword Formation was an intricate formation created to confuse and to utilize the speed techniques and defense techniques of the Eternal Ice Palace.

The Shifting Stellar Duo Sword Formation was even more deadly when it was used by Yu'Er and Mei'Er, precisely because they were splitting images of each other!

This was their last critical death strike technique for them to use now as they made a desperate stand. Even against so many powerful foes, they did not use it as they did not want to disclose their secret martial techniques to anyone.

Yu'Er was now attacking and Mei'Er had vanished behind her, taking the Blade Heretic by surprise!

As soon as he had attacked Yu'Er, she had deflected his attack with a flurrying of sword strokes and displaying the Divine Emerald Force. All of a sudden, Mei'Er had reappeared from behind her and slashed at the Blade Heretic, taking him by surprise.

Just as he had parried Mei'Er's attacks, she had switched to the Divine Emerald Force and Yu'Er was attacking him again!

Because these two sisters were splitting images of each other, the Blade Heretic was momentarily confused which of the sister would be the attacker and which one was drawing him into making an opening!

Gongsun Jing was clutching his blood soaked chest as he got up weakly, ”Brothers, are you alright?”

Qiu Wufeng was trembling as he struggled to get on his knee. He had never expected to be defeated by a mere stroke despite his expertise in swordplay! When the sword stroke of the Blade Heretic had slashed across his body, he was also injured by a deadly sword energy as well. But he said weakly, ”I am alright. I can still fight…”

Nangong Le's swordplay was the weakest but he was less affected by the sword energy due to his Exuberant Divine Skill. But his wound was also the heaviest. He smiled weakly, ”I am not defeated yet. Yu'Er and Mei'Er need our help. The three of us can still display the Celestial Star Formation. Let's fight him again…”

Gongsun Jing nodded as his warm tears streamed from his eyes, ”Today, we are going to die for a worthy cause to stop the heretic sect. I am going to wash away all the sins of my clan!” With that, he charged towards the Blade Heretic!

Qiu Wufeng too, had mustered all his remaining strength as he charged at the Blade Heretic at almost the same time as Gongsun Jing!

The Blood Heretic had displayed his hands into claws as he smirked with great disdain at the resistances even as he sped towards the Heavenly Relic, ”They didn't know how futile it is to oppose us.”

But before he could seize the Heavenly Relic, Yi Ping had intercepted him and there was a mighty thunderous thunderclap that shook the chamber aloud as the Blood Heretic retaliated with a blow!

Immediately, the fighting around them paused for a moment as everyone saw Yi Ping and the Blood Heretic had both taken several steps backward!

Yi Ping was carrying the motionless Lie Qing's who was leaning on him with his left hand and had beaten off the Blood Heretic with his right palm!

Yi Ping said with a solemn heartbreak, ”Qing'Er, even though you are not with us anymore but your spirit will lives on.

Everyone was startled.

Yu'Er and Mei'Er broke into tears as they muttered, ”Sister Qing'Er isn't with us anymore…”

Yu'Er stared at the Blade Heretic and Ding Yun with cold hatred as she said, ”It is either you die or I die today!”

When she had finished speaking, she had immediately attacked the Blade Heretic with a startled speed but her stroke was immediately countered by the Heretic Blade!

The Blade Heretic hummed coldly even as Yu'Er, Mei'Er, Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng raised their long swords at the same time as they attacked him from all sides.

The Blade Heretic said coldly, ”It is only a matter of time before I can break your sword formation. Already all of you are panting with exhaustion while I have barely even used any strength.”

At the same time, when the Blood Heretic was being forced back, he was secretly startled. ”This young man can actually have the martial strength to force me back using only one hand? Is that possible?”

The reason he was startled was because with his combination of martial power and internal strength, there was not many exponents in the fraternity that could stop him anymore. Moreover, his opponent was but a young man!

Dugu Yunzi was looking at the heartbroken Yi Ping. She had never seen him with this type of expression before.

Yi Ping glanced at the Blood Heretic and Ding Yun as he coarsely said, ”Yun, I don't believe you will betray us. There must be a reason for you to do so. No matter what you do, I am willing to listen…”

Dugu Yunzi interrupted, ”Forget it Yi Ping. You are still in denial. It is an undeniable fact that I am the Holy Leader of the Sacred Divine Clan. Moreover, I have killed Lie Qing…”

Yi Ping smiled weakly, ”I…I don't know how to explain this but the last time, the last time…in my dreams…I seem to have made many terrible mistakes. Sometimes the truth isn't so straightforward…”

Youxue had broken free of the Moon Heretic as she sped towards Ding Yun, ”Yi Ping, stop saying so much to her!”

Yi Ping said, ”Youxue don't attack her, I almost lost you the last time. I don't want the same thing to happen again. Yun, please come back. Surely we can talk over…”

Dugu Yunzi simply interrupted Youxue's charge as she raised her scabbard that had been imbued by her martial force and threw it towards her, forcing her to evade it and back to the entanglement of the Moon Heretic again who hummed coldly as he dealt her a direct blow on her back, ”Not so fast, young beauty. Do you think I am non-existent?”

Youxue had immediately coughed out blood! The blow that she had received was simply too heavy even for her Golden Invincible Body!

Yi Ping was about to dash to aid Youxue when the Blood Heretic had attacked him with multiple waves of powerful windforce that had been directed at him!

He was forced to halt and retaliated with his Divine Horizon Hands!

The Blood Heretic had sent blows after blows of shadow claws, displaying intrigue strokes one after another with thunderous impact, stirring up windforce in all directions!

Even though Yi Ping was sweating now but he still refused to put down Lie Qing and fight back blow for blow, stroke for stroke and counter for counter!

The Blood Heretic was now startled. It was because he had already used all his martial power and was using both hands while Yi Ping fighting with just one hand. Even though he knew that the fight would eventually turn on his favor as his opponent got more and more tired, he was not happy. It was because with his present state of divinity and martial strength, he could not bring a young man down.

The Moon Heretic, the Blade Heretic and even Dugu Zhen were all having an easier time than him even though they were fighting multiple opponents. They were so overwhelming in their martial differences with their opponents that they did not even need to use all their strength. Their mere strokes could cause their opponents to evade, parry, block or retaliate hence wearing down their physical strength and internal strength.

Lingfeng quickly gasped to Yi Ping panicky, ”Yi Ping, put down Lie Qing. She is dead now. You are only endangering yourself!”

Yi Ping refused to heed her and instead he willed himself with the Absolute Spirits as he displayed several stances of the Divine Horizon Hands once again!

Yi Ping muttered, ”Qing'Er…Yun…why…”

The reason why Yi Ping was sweating profusely was not because he was reaching his limit and was hard pressed by the Blood Heretic as everyone had thought, since sweating was a good indication of one's limitation had been reached and current state of physical conditioning.

The real reason why he was sweating profusely was because he was still transferring his internal strength into Lie Qing's lifeless body and that action was snapping his stamina at a rapid rate!

All of a sudden, Yi Ping experienced a great discomfort in his heart and his strokes faltered.

The Blood Heretic immediately sensed a moment of weakness and seized the faltering speed of Yi Ping by increasing his own martial power all of a sudden, breaking through his Divine Horizon Hand and sent a thunderous cracking impact on Yi Ping!

Yi Ping immediately coughed out blood as this thunderous impact could grind even stones into dust as he was sent flying through the air!

But the weird thing was the Blood Heretic was also thrown back by a rebounding force that was so almighty that even with the full execution of his martial power, he was not able to stop it!

Yu'Er gasped, ”Master!”

In her moment of distraction, the Blade Heretic had slashed her on her shoulder. Even Mei'Er was slashed as she tried to parry for her sister!

Within just a few seconds that saw Yi Ping flew backward with a thunderous impact and with blood spilling in mid-air, Ji Wuzheng, Huo Fu, Nangong Le, Qiu Wufeng, Gongsun Jing, Yu'Er and Mei'Er, with the exception of Lingfeng and Youxue were all rolling in agony from their injuries on the ground!

The Blade Heretic and the Blood Heretic had immediately joined the Moon Heretic as they joined hands to attack Lingfeng and Youxue, who were already faltering from attacks from all sides!

Dugu Zhen said, ”In the end, there are just two capable fighters standing. Ji Wuzheng, you call yourself the Holy Sectarian Master, yet you can't even hold a candle to your sister.”

Ji Wuzheng smiled coldly as he struggled to stand, ”If I am not injured, do you think you can really defeat me? If you are not my wife, do you think I will hold back?”

Dugu Zhen hummed coldly, ”Why is that all men likes some face saving measures? A win is a win and a loss is a loss.”

Ji Wuzheng replied, ”Don't underestimate the Holy Hex Sect and my sister. She has after all, taken the Golden Rejuvenation Pill. Her internal strength is a match for the Three Evils!”

Even though he was saying so, Lingfeng was reaching her limited as evidenced by the sweat on her face. Youxue was also sweating profusely while the Three Evils had not even broke into a sweat yet!

Youxue and Lingfeng knew that in terms of internal strength, martial power, martial skills and technique, they were being outclassed! What kept them going was sheer willpower and determination not to be defeated by these vile heretics!

Just as Lingfeng took a step back and was about to seized by the Moon Heretic, Yi Ping had displayed the Asper Horizon Hand with a mighty flurrying windforce that sent the Moon Heretic moving backward!

The Blood Heretic was startled, ”You are not dead yet?”

The crashing blow that had landed on Yi Ping was a hit with all his martial power. Even a super exponent may not survive such a direct hit!

Yi Ping staggered weakly with Lie Qing in his embrace as he raised his right hand, ”So this is the Heavenly Relic that you want?”

He was clutching the Heavenly Relic in his right hand!

He had picked it up when he was flung back.

Ji Wuzheng was startled as he thought, ”Without the Great Dissolution Skill, he can grab the Heavenly Relic?” But he got no further time to ponder more as he quickly shouted panicky, ”Third Brother Yi Ping, don't give them the Heavenly Relic!”

Youxue and Lingfeng staggered weakly beside Yi Ping even as the Moon Heretic, Blood Heretic and the Blade Heretic stopped in their tracks.

Yi Ping shouted angrily as he raised the Heavenly Relic in front of them, ”So this is the Heavenly Relic that you want, am I right?!”

All of a sudden, there was a cracking sound as Yi Ping crushed the Heavenly Relic in front of them!

Everyone could see heat and dust vaporizing as Yi Ping crushed the Heavenly Relic with his hand!

Dugu Zhen, Dugu Yunzi, the Moon Heretic, the Blood Heretic and the Blade Heretic was startled and were in disbelief as they muttered, ”The Heavenly Relic can be crushed by mortal hand!?”

Even Ji Wuzheng was astonished and was staring in disbelief!

Yi Ping had used all his martial power, augmented by the Aspire Invocation Force as he broke the Heavenly Relic into five smaller pieces in a fit of rage! He scarcely even knows what he had been doing. He was just preparing his martial power for the next attack but because he had not attacked yet and he had the Heavenly Relic in his hand, he vented all his anger and martial power onto the Heavenly Relic instead!

By the time, he had realized that he had accidentally caused the Heavenly Relic to be broken into five pieces as it dropped onto the ground, he himself was stunned!

When Yi Ping had suffered a heartbreaking pain in his heart earlier, it was not because his sentimental emotions had once again triggered the side effect of the Emptiness Translucence. It was because his undying devotion to Lie Qing and his undying forgiveness for Dugu Yunzi had caused his Emptiness Translucence to achieve a stunning breakthrough from the Enigma Divine Ascendant to the Absolute Divine Ascendant!

Aside from being devoid of all worldly attachments, there was actually another way for a practitioner to achieve a breakthrough in the Emptiness Translucence. But it was almost impossible to attain; the practitioner had to be devoid of hatred and also had undying love for the one that he loves. It was either hate or love; both conditions could not be possible to exist at the same time! How could one prove his forgiveness and his undying love for someone at the same time?

Yi Ping had refused to put down Lie Qing, refusing to believe that she had died and even transferred his internal injuries to her dead body even though he was facing a terrible powerful foe at the same time. That was undying devoted love!

Even though he had witnessed Dugu Yunzi injuring and mortally wounding Lie Qing with his very own eyes, he was in great denial. He believed firmly that she must have a strong reason for doing so and that he would be willing to believe her even though he was in great grief! That was undying faith and true forgiveness!

In that very instant when Yi Ping had suffered a heartbreaking pain in his heart, he had actually killed off the doubt emotions in his heart forever, hence attaining the Absolute Divine Ascendant of the Emptiness Translucence!

At the same moment, the divine force power release of the Emptiness Translucence was also at its strongest. So when the Blood Heretic had struck Yi Ping fatally on his chest, instead of causing Yi Ping a fatal wound, he had unwittingly helped Yi Ping by distributing the powerful divine force throughout all his meridian channels. This had the unknowing effect of propelling Yi Ping's internal strength and martial power to an unsurpassed height!

Before the divine force power release of the Emptiness Translucence had yet to completely merged with his Aspire Invocation Force to form the Boundless Divine Force, Yi Ping had unwittingly use the only force in the entire universe that was capable of breaking or molding the Heavenly Relic, which was actually called the Universal Force by the Celestials as he crushed the Heavenly Relic with his bare hands!

The Universal Force was a rare occurrence that only happened at the creation or destruction of a new state of celestial divinity, enabling the Celestials to create Celestial Weapons and to divine the mysteries of the Ninth Heavens. Certain Celestial Weapons were so powerful that they could create the Universal Force on impact with one another; however the result was not benevolent Creation Universal force but the Destructive Universal Force that brought forth chaos and mayhems.

Lingfeng smiled weakly, ”Just nice. You can now distribute these five pieces to them and everyone can have a share.”

Even though she was in a precaution situation, Lingfeng's humor did not go away.

Dugu Zhen was so stunned that she stammered, ”You…you….you…actually broke it!”

The Moon Heretic stammered as well, ”Is this Heavenly Relic a fake?”

The Blade Heretic was shouting angrily, ”Who wants this broken Heavenly Relic now! Now you have really enraged me!”

The Moon Heretic, the Blood Heretic and the Blade Heretic were obviously extremely enraged as their killing malevolent aura had suddenly intensified!

All of a sudden, there were six bursts of visible blue glow around them as they mustered their martial power!

Youxue gasped, ”The Divine Virtuous Force!?”

Dugu Yunzi said coolly, ”That's right. The three elders have not only mastered the epitome levels of the Divine Virtuous Force but they had also successfully merged the Holy Amalgamate Force with it. So what you are seeing now is their true strength.”

Lingfeng broke into cold sweat. This combination of martial force was extremely deadly and had no weakness! The dissolution force of the Holy Amalgamate Force weakened their opponents' martial power and strength at close melee and the seemingly impenetrable force of the Divine Virtuous Force that could only be penetrated by superior martial power would make them invincible!

No wonder, they seemed to have the confidence of overcoming the Divine Calamity!

Even Ji Wuzheng was dismayed when he had seen their martial display. He knew instantly that even if he was not injured, he could not even be able to defeat one of them, let alone there were three of them now!

Everyone seemed to have given up hope now…

Even Youxue's will to fight was faltering; she had forced herself with the Absolute Spirits to stand up against their overwhelming martial strength! The results were just plain obvious…

Yi Ping said stubbornly as he displayed the Horizon Heavens, the opening stance of the Divine Horizon Hand. ”Life and death is predestined. I will fight you and bring Yun back to my side!”

Dugu Yunzi looked at him curiously…

Even Youxue and Lingfeng were startled at his stubbornness. Until this point, he had not given up on Dugu Yunzi! But did he know that he was facing an impossible odds and he had only one hand that was free?

Lingfeng signed with a soft resignation as she muttered, ”That is why I like him. Yi Ping, I will fight with you to bring Sister Yun back to us!”

Youxue nodded too, ”Ping'Er, we…will bring her back even if we were to die fighting!”

Yi Ping was deeply moved as he nodded in appreciation at them…

Even Yu'Er and Mei'Er were sobbing, ”Yes, bring Sister Yun back…”

They had all been moved by Yi Ping's undying determination and devotion!

Dugu Yunzi put her slender fingers to her back because she did not want others to see her trembling fingers even as she said coldly, ”Don't waste your efforts. It is all meaningless and you only be throwing your lives. Just quietly surrender the Heavenly Relic.”

Yi Ping said quietly, ”Youxue, Lingfeng. Step aside please…”

Youxue and Lingfeng both shook their heads in protest!

Yi Ping said with a heartbreaking voice, ”Even though you have tried to hide it but I know that both of you have already sustained grievous internal injuries.”

He had already seen the blood tickling down from their lips and knew that they were forcing themselves to fight!

All of a sudden, Lingfeng gasped weakly as she pointed to the five broken pieces of the Heavenly Relic that were on the ground!

The five broken pieces of Heavenly Relic were hissing with vapor and were melted to a reddish coloring as intensive heat melted its outer metal shells rapidly to reveal five yellow pearls!

Everyone was baffled at this curious sight and not knowing what to react, including the Three Evils, Dugu Zhen and Dugu Yunzi!

Lingfeng had gasped with a startled cry, ”The Divine Dragon Pills!!!”

Yi Ping quickly said as he recalled that it looked exactly like the Divine Dragon Pill that he previously had, ”That's right…looks like it.”

Xiao Youxue had also recognized the Divine Dragon Pills! But her reaction was even swifter as she shouted quickly, ”Yi Ping! Grab the pills and don't let them have it!”

The Three Evils were astonished as well and were not slow to react as they mustered all their martial power and charged towards Yi Ping, Xiao Youxue and Ji Lingfeng!

Everyone other than Yi Ping, Lingfeng and Youxue had heard of the Divine Dragon Pill before and they had thought that it was just a legend! The Dragon Divine Pill was said to possess the ability to increase the martial power of the practitioner tremendously, raising the state of divinity of the practitioner or even have miraculous healing power to bring the dead back to life!

The Moon Heretic shouted, ”Don't let them seize it! These Divine Dragon Pills are even more precious than the Heavenly Relic!”

Lingfeng immediately executed the movement of the Swallow Slash as she dashed past Yi Ping as she substituted the stroke of the Swallow Slash with the invocating martial burst of the Asper Horizon Hand as she clashed against the Moon Heretic, ”Didn't you guys just said you didn't want these broken Heavenly Relic earlier…”

But before she could finish, the mighty palm power of the Moon Heretic had knocked her flying backward!

Yu'Er and Mei'Er used their last strength to leap and caught hold of Lingfeng as they heard her muttering, ”I…sorry…I no longer have any strength to fight beside you, Ping'Er…”

Even as Lingfeng had sped past Yi Ping, Youxue had picked up all the Dragon Divine Pills and displayed her Golden Invincible Stance as she parried the blades of the Blade Heretic with her martial imbued sleeves that were now as hard as iron!

Youxue immediately threw one Divine Dragon Pill to the back as she exclaimed urgently, ”Give it to Lingfeng and don't let her die! Transfer your internal energies and diffuse the vital energies of the Divine Dragon Pill throughout her body!”

Yu'Er immediately caught hold of the Divine Dragon Pill and popped it into Lingfeng's mouth, inviting angry stares from the Three Evils who could only watch as one of the five precious Divine Dragon Pills got swallowed by Lingfeng as they were caught in a desperate defense put up by Youxue and Yi Ping at the same time!

Almost immediately after Yu'Er had given the Divine Dragon Pill to Lingfeng, she was showing signs of revival!
