Chapter 236 Is Martial Uncle Really Gravely Injured?

The red-robed Sect Master had sacrificed his own blood to launch his most powerful attack.

Each of those all-encompassing spear projections had enough power to kill a normal Soul Formation cultivator.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance looked worried as she watched the old Taoist priest battle the red-robed Sect Master. “Stay strong.”

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was desperately trying to use her token to contact the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. After all, this red-robed Sect Master was a powerful cultivator who had undergone a tribulation.

Although Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had once killed a Saint while he was still in the Soul Formation stage, he had done it by self-detonating. Moreover, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had been a Qi Refinement cultivator.

After switching to focus on cultivating the body, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus seldom launched direct, all-out attacks during battle. He usually relied on sneak attacks and hidden trump cards. Even those brothers in his own sect had no idea what Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ true powers were.

Now that he was finally going to show his hand, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus immediately contacted the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

But she realized that the area was in complete lockdown.

She was unable to contact the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader using her token. They were totally cut off.

“What a powerful spear attack. I have underestimated you.”

A cry of pain rang out at that moment. The blood-red spear had struck Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s left shoulder.

Golden blood seeped out of the wound, dyeing his Taoist robe a gold color. It made him look rather brave and heroic.

“Evil creature, even if I die today, I will never let you harm even a single hair on my Tian’er!”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus hollered and grabbed that blood-red spear. His right fist suddenly magnified by 10 times.

Smack!

He smacked the red-robed Sect Master with a heavy palm.

The red-robed Sect Master was protected by his blood-red barrier, which vibrated intensely under that attack.

“It didn’t break?”

The red-robed Sect Master was taken aback by the powerful energy colliding with his blood-red barrier.

He then gave a malicious smile.

“Haha, so your current power is only at this level now?

“Chu Longhe, your era is over! Given your current power, you are no longer that exceptional prodigy at the Soul Formation stage!

“Time to wake up!”

The red-robed Sect Master snorted.

“I will destroy you today, to avenge my Master! Our leader will definitely give me a great reward after I bring your head back to him. Meet your doom!”

With that, the spear in the red-robed Sect Master’s hand glowed, and multiple spears shot toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus like a wild rainstorm.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was still bleeding, but he showed no fear. He waved his golden rod and resolutely battled the blood-red spears. He looked extremely heroic and noble.

The eyes of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance were already filled with hot tears. “Senior Brother Chu is once again battling a Saint to the death in order to save me. I am just a burden to Senior Brother!”

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance gnashed her teeth and charged into the battle fray. She stood side by side with Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to fight the red-robed Sect Master together.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus’ eyes grew solemn. She quickly formed some hand seals and directed a ray toward Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.

It was the secret healing “Great Rejuvenation” technique. It could heal a cultivator’s injuries and replenish their vitality.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was not good at fighting, and this was the best way for her to contribute.

“Is this still the Martial Uncle whom I used to know?” Shen Tian couldn’t help muttering to himself as he looked at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, who was drenched in blood and fighting valiantly. But Ye Qingcang’s disapproving voice echoed in his mind.

“This scoundrel. It has been 1,000 years, but he hasn’t changed at all. He is still so thick-skinned. Don’t be fooled by this scoundrel. He is very sly!”

Don’t be fooled by this scoundrel?

Shen Tian had no idea what he meant.

At that moment, the red-robed Sect Master saw an opportunity and struck the blood-red spear right at Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s throat.

The spear moved at a high velocity, fierce and vicious.

Intense blood-red energy restrained Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance, such that she was unable to escape.

The blood-red spear would be piercing right into Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s throat any moment now.

But Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus suddenly appeared before Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.

He grabbed the tip of the spear with an enlarged left hand. Fresh blood gushed out as the sharp blade cut his hand.

The blood-red bone spear gradually came to a stop, but not before piercing into Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s right shoulder. He was picked up and flung several hundred meters across the air.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s eyes turned red, while the red-robed Sect Master looked very smug.

“Your era is over. It’s time you realized this, Chu Longhe!”

The red-robed Sect Master was in high spirits. He felt like he had launched a new era.

However, Chu Longhe suddenly reached out his right hand and struck the red-robed Sect Master on the head with his rod.

Duang!

The red-robed Sect Master felt a wave of dizziness as if the sky was spinning around him.

His barrier had not been configured to block such physical blows.

This fellow purposely endured my spear attack!

The face of the red-robed Sect Master suddenly changed. He quickly tried to retreat.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The rod attacked him from all directions like a wild thunderstorm.

The red-robed Sect Master was beaten until he was staggering and saw stars. There was no way he could defend against the blows.

Intense pain spread across his entire body, making him feel like life was not worth living anymore.

“Evil creature, how dare you hurt my Senior Brother!”

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance cried out in rage, and bone-chilling energy engulfed the red-robed Sect Master.

Completely frozen like a statue, the red-robed Sect Master plummeted from the sky, creating a huge hole in the ground.

Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Chu Longhe looked as if he had lost all energy and started to collapse. “Senior Brother, are you alright? Don’t scare me!”

“It’s all my fault. You wouldn’t have been injured if you hadn’t tried to save me!”

Hot tears gushed out of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s eyes as she caught Chu Longhe into her arms, spinning 720 degrees as they drifted to the floor.

Following that, she took out all sorts of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground’s elixirs and pills and stuffed them all into Chu Longhe’s mouth with wild abandon.

“Senior Brother, nothing can happen to you. I won’t be able to live on if anything happens to you!”

Chu Longhe shot Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance an exasperated look.

“Fairy, you misunderstand. I stepped up this time mainly because I wanted to save Tian’er. Saving you was just an afterthought. Please stop imagining things.” With that, Chu Longhe struggled out of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s embrace and staggered toward Shen Tian. Pale as a sheet, he forced a smile. “Tian’er, you saw my awesome and almighty battle. Was I impressive, or what?

“This is the battle prowess of the cultivators that choose to refine their physical bodies with the Tinder Sutra. Even a battle with a higher-level opponent would be a piece of cake to you!

“How about it? Do you wish to learn? If you beg me, I might reluctantly decide to teach…”

Chu Longhe collapsed in front of Shen Tian before he could complete his sentence.

At the same time, his aura declined significantly

Shen Tian’s face changed. He quickly took some Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring and poured it into Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s mouth.

“It’s useless. Don’t waste any more Nirvana Holy Liquid.”

The pale-faced old Taoist priest swallowed the liquid. “My inner organs are already smashed to a pulp by that evil creature’s spear. I don’t have much longer to live. Unless you have over 500L of Nirvana Holy Liquid, there is no way you can heal me.”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus gazed benevolently at Shen Tian.

“Tian’er, to be honest, I like you a lot.

“From the first moment I met you, I already wanted to take you in as my disciple.

“But Second Junior Brother made the first move and had you become his disciple. Anyway, his cultivation level is also higher than mine.

“So… cough, cough… My injuries are worsening. Looks like I won’t be able to hold on much longer. Tian’er, you don’t need to waste your efforts.”

After finishing the last drop of the 5L bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shook his head. “Before I die, I only have one final wish. Tian’er, can you promise me that?”

Shen Tian sighed. “Martial Uncle, you suffered such grave injuries. Stop trying to speak and just finish this holy liquid! “It’s just 500L! You got injured because you tried to save me. It is my responsibility to give you this 500L.”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus licked his lips. “How… How can I accept this? You only have about 1,000 to 1,500L worth of Nirvana Holy Liquid. And you risked your life to get it.

“As… As your senior, how can I take advantage of you like that?

“If you really want to do something for me, can you acknowledge me before I die…

“Acknowledge me as your Master so that I can pass on my legacy skills to you?”

“If so, even if I die now, my soul can rest in peace.

Acknowledge him as my Master before he dies?

Shen Tian was taken aback by Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s request.

I can easily save his life. Why is Martial Uncle Azure Lotus seeking death?

500L of Nirvana Holy Liquid might not be a small amount, but… it was not that much either!

Shen Tian was really confused.

Meanwhile, cracks were rapidly appearing on the frozen red-robed Sect Master.

“Chu Longhe, have you reached your limit? In that case, time to die!”

Bang! The ice burst open, and the red-robed Sect Master’s pale face was revealed. It appeared like he had suffered rather serious injuries, but he was all the more dangerous now because of this. The killing intent on his face was fervent.

The red-robed Sect Master suddenly flung the blood-red spear out at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Shen Tian, and the rest.

“Old Man Ye, we are going to die if you still refuse to make a move.”

Desperate, Shen Tian communicated silently with Ye Qingcang. But Ye Qingcang remained unperturbed.

He chuckled. “You are a good kid but too inexperienced. You can’t see the true colors of others. Don’t be so anxious!”

The spear was coming closer and closer by the moment.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus joined hands to block against it but were forced back several meters by the spear’s force.

The spear was about to make contact with Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and Shen Tian.

Shen Tian had already given up on that unreliable Ye Qingcang. He was prepared to activate the Saint Token and fight with his Executing Heaven Sword.

At that moment, an angry holler sounded out from behind.

“Stupid Evil Spirit Sect fella! Couldn’t you have just remained frozen? Or why couldn’t you have just run away after escaping the seal? “Why must you disrupt my plans? Don’t you.. cherish your life?”

Shen Tian turned in shock to see the pale-faced Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. The aura radiating from Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was terrifying beyond belief!

So terrifying that Shen Tian couldn’t help suspecting… Martial Uncle… Is he really gravely injured!?
