Chapter 759: Severing the Chain



This wasn\'t a sign that the baleful qi in his body was close to being fully expelled. Instead, it only showed him that the azure lightning pond was becoming less efficacious.

Right at this moment, Liu Qi suddenly declared, "Alright, that\'s enough. Each lightning pond has different baleful cleansing capabilities, and that\'s about as much as this azure pond can help you. If you keep going, you\'ll only be suffering more physical damage for not much gain."

"Didn\'t you say that this azure lightning pond would be enough to completely baleful cleansings?" Han Li asked with slightly furrowed brows.

"How was I supposed to know that a pair of Golden Immortals like yourselves would have so much baleful qi in your bodies? You two must\'ve claimed countless lives up to this point in your cultivation journeys!" Liu Qi scoffed.

Han Li knew that he did indeed have far more baleful qi in his body than the average Golden Immortal, so he accepted this explanation and was just about to fly out of hte lightning pond, but as soon as he rose up into the air, the azure lightning latched onto him from behind and forcibly dragged him back into the pond.

Fox 3 and Shi Chuankong attempted to fly out of the pond as well, but they encountered the same problem.

The baleful qi in their bodies hadn\'t been completely eradicated, so the lightning in the pond was still instinctively attacking them and refusing to let them go.

Han Li immediately channeled his Reversal True Axis ability, and he shot out of the pond like an arc of golden lightning, while Shi Chuankong also emerged from the pond using a spatial secret technique.

Due to his relatively frail physical constitution, Fox 3 had sustained the most severe injuries out of the three, and even with his High Zenith Stage cultivation base, he was the last one to free himself from the pond.

After landing on the ground, all three of them stumbled slightly before sitting down with their legs crossed.

Fox 3\'s entire body was charred black and riddled with gashes, but there was an elated smile on his face.

He promptly devoured a fragrant High Zenith Stage pill, and the injuries all over his body began to quickly heal at a rate that was discernible even to the naked eye.

There was an elated look on Shi Chuankong\'s face as well, and he also took a pill, upon which a large cloud of black mist emerged to envelop his entire body.

Han Li\'s robes were in tatters, and the bright red coloration of his skin refused to fade. Weeping Soul approached him to enquire about his condition, in response to which he merely shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Instead of immediately taking any pills, he closed his eyes to rest for a moment, then carefully examined his Spirit Refinement Technique to find that he really had broken through his previous bottleneck. At this point, it wouldn\'t take long at all for him to achieve full mastery of the fifth level.

After that, he also took a few pills, but Han Li and the others were all roused from their meditation by Liu Qi just a few minutes later.

"Pardon my interruption, but we don\'t have a lot of time on our hands. Yin Chengquan may be caught up at the Three Region Conference at the moment, but that doesn\'t mean that he won\'t send anyone else here, and once that happens, it\'ll be very difficult for you to complete your baleful cleansings," Liu Qi said.

"Indeed, there\'s not much time left for us," Han Li replied with a nod.

"Liu San is already at the High Zenith Stage, so he requires no further cleansing, but the remaining baleful qi in your bodies lurks even deeper in your immortal acupoints and can only be cleansed by the more powerful purple lightning pond. That\'s going to be quite a time-consuming process, so let\'s not waste any more time," Liu Qi said as he took a meaningful glance at Han Li.

Han Li was naturally aware of what that look entailed, and he said, "There\'s no hurry. According to our agreement, I have to free you from these chains in exchange for your help. Even though my baleful qi hasn\'t been completely cleansed, I should still severe one of these chains as a show of good faith."

Liu Qi nodded with a pleased expression upon seeing this.

Shi Chuankong raised no objections, and Fox 3 was naturally eager to help.

"So all that\'s needed is for the four of us to inject our power into the saber at once?" Han Li asked as he flipped a hand over to summon the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber.

A subtle peculiar look flashed through Liu Qi\'s eyes as he swept his gaze over the saber, and he replied, "An immense amount of immortal spiritual power will be required to unleash the full power of a third-grade immortal treasure, so don\'t hold back. Otherwise, if you fail to sever the chain in one blow, there\'s a very good chance that you\'ll be struck with backlash from the chain, which will be extremely painful for all of us."

"I\'ll be sure to do my best," Fox 3 promised.

"Rest assured, Senior, I\'m aware that now is not the time to be holding back," Shi Chuankong also assured.

As for Han Li, he remained silent as he turned to Weeping Soul with a nod.

After taking a moment to collect themselves, Han Li grabbed onto the hilt of the sword, while everyone else positioned themselves behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Shi..."

After grabbing onto the hilt of the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber with both hands, Han Li began to attempt to communicate with Shi Qinghou.

However, he received no response, and it was as if Shi Qinghou had gone into hibernation.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I know that there must be some history between you and Patriarch Liu Qi, but we have no choice but to help him right now, so I want you to lend me your power," Han Li urged through their spiritual connection, but once again, he received no response.

Han Li\'s brows furrowed slightly, and he didn\'t waste any more time as he tightened his grip around the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber before injecting his immortal spiritual power into it.

All of the patterns on the blade began to light up, and a tremendous aura began to emanate from the saber.

Fox 3 and the others all thrust their palms toward Han Li to inject their immortal spiritual power into his body, and he acted as a central hub, transferring all of their power into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber.

A faint buzzing sound rang out from the saber, Han Li\'s hands began to tremble uncontrollably as layers upon layers of crimson saber projections emerged.

The aura emanating from the saber also swelled rapidly, quickly reaching an unprecedented level.

Han Li\'s brows were tightly furrowed, and in the face of the saber\'s aura, a strange sensation was rising up within his body, as if his blood were boiling.

"The aura of this saber is quite unique, and it looks like it can stimulate one\'s blood and essence to drastically enhance combat prowess. There\'s no need to be concerned, just focus on the task at hand," Liu Qi said.

Han Li inspected his own internal condition to find that there were indeed no adverse effects taking place, and only then did he focus fully on injecting his immortal spiritual power into the saber.

With the injection of immortal spiritual power, the crimson light radiating from the saber became brighter and brighter, and crimson light appeared in the eyes of the two fox heads on the saber as well.

Han Li let loose a loud roar as he stepped forward before swinging the saber down with all his might, and countless giant saber projections erupted forth, striking the azure chain one after another.

A string of metallic clangs rang out as the azure chain trembled violently, and all of the runes engraved upon it instantly began to glow as radiantly as the sun.

The azure lightning pond instantly erupted into a frenzy, forming an enormous ball of lightning that hurtled directly toward Patriarch Liu Qi along the azure chain.

However, the ball of lightning was stopped in its tracks by the crimson saber projections, and the forces clashed with immense power.

"Sever it! Hurry!" Liu Qi roared.

Han Li and the others abruptly shuddered, and the immortal spiritual power in their bodies gushed forth in a frenzy, surging into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber in an uncontrollable manner.

The crimson light radiating from the saber brightened even further, and the crimson saber projections that it had conjured up also seemed to have become countless times heavier as they inched toward the ball of lightning.

A hint of fear began to well up in the hearts of Han Li and the others. At this rate, they would be completely drained of immortal spiritual power before the chain could be severed.

Right at this moment, the fox heads on the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber lit up, and a giant crimson fox projection suddenly appeared, then pounced forward before fusing into the crimson saber projections, instantly bestowing upon them tremendous power.

A resounding boom rang out as the ball of lightning exploded violently, following which a streak of crimson light flashed past to sever the azure chain.

The chain tumbled to the ground, while the azure lightning retreated back into the lightning pond.

"We did it!" Fox 3 exclaimed with an ecstatic expression.

Han Li withdrew the saber, then began to examine it with tightly furrowed brows, wondering why Shi Qinghou had ultimately decided to help them at the last second.

As for Shi Chuankong, he was also observing the saber in silence with an apprehensive expression, clearly a little shaken by the forced outflow of immortal spiritual power from earlier.

"What\'s wrong, Master?" Weeping Soul asked.

"Nothing. How are your injuries?" Han Li asked as he stowed the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber away.

"I\'m fine," Weeping Soul replied.

Right at this moment, Liu Qi raised his head to the heavens and chortled with glee at the sight of the snapped azure chain, causing the entire hall to tremble slightly.

"Thank you, everyone. Take some time to replenish your immortal spiritual power, then continue with your baleful cleansing," he said after his laughter subsided.
