The White Reaper's attack speed and power grew even stronger!
Before, they were barely holding on.
Now, the pressure on Little Witch and Zi Yu increased even further!
"Bang—!"
Little Witch was struck by a chain and sent flying backward!
If Zi Yu hadn't been quick enough to catch her with vines, she would have slammed straight into the barrier.
"Cough, cough..."
Little Witch coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the dark energy on her body immediately faded a bit.
At the same time, another chain arrived!
Zi Yu was forced to re-condense vines to protect Little Witch.
"Swish—!"
The chain, like a sharp blade, instantly cut through all the vines!
Then, it continued its momentum and smashed into Little Witch!
"Bang—!"
Little Witch wasn't sent flying, but instead, she was dragged by the chain towards Zi Yu!
Zi Yu didn't even have time to condense new vines before she was sliced by the chain!
The entire flower stem was split in two!
Even the protective layer woven from vines was cut open!
Afterward, the iron chain created a ditch more than ten feet deep on the ground before it finally stopped!
Fortunately, this attack didn't hit anyone else, otherwise, a few people would have died on the spot...
Zi Yu could no longer maintain her transformed state and instantly reverted to human form.
She collapsed onto the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood!
"Yu'er—!"
Wang Yang, no longer caring about his fear, rushed to embrace her.
"You..."
The first thing that met his eyes was the glaring wound on Zi Yu's chest and abdomen!
The wound was as thick as three fingers, and he could even see her internal organs!
"Cough, cough... I'm fine..." Zi Yu said weakly, "It's just that I probably can't fight anymore..."
"You say you're fine when you're like this!" Wang Yang quickly took out a pile of elixirs and handed them over, "Quick, take these!"
While Wang Yang was frantically giving Zi Yu medicine, the White Reaper moved again!
With a flick of its arm, the iron chain on the ground swept towards everyone!
At such close range, there was no way to dodge!
[Ahhhh, I'm so angry!]
The System let out a cry and shot a golden light towards the chain.
The golden light couldn't completely stop the chain's momentum, but it successfully deflected its direction.
Everyone barely managed to escape with their lives!
[The remaining energy can only last a little while longer, you lazy host, hurry up and make a decision!]
The System's girlish voice was on the verge of tears.
[If you keep dawdling like this, everyone will be doomed!]
Ye Fan ignored the System and ran over to check on Little Witch.
Little Witch wasn't as badly injured as Zi Yu.
However, she lay on the ground motionless, her life or death unknown.
Confirming that Little Witch was only unconscious, Ye Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Roar—!"
The White Reaper continued its frantic attacks.
But each time, the System successfully deflected its trajectory.
After just a few attempts, the System's restraint on it seemed to be getting more strenuous...
Everyone's heart skipped a beat!
In their eyes, Ye Fan had already made his move.
But the outcome was not optimistic at all...
No matter how they looked at it, Ye Fan seemed to be no match.
After all...
It had been too short a time...
From the time Ye Fan joined the Zi Yun Sect until now, it had been only about two years at most.
In two years, to grow from the Qi Refining stage to being able to contend with a Nascent Soul stage demon beast was already monstrous!
No, no, this couldn't be described as monstrous!
It was enough to shatter one's worldview!
If Ye Fan had been given a little more time, even just two or three months, he could have easily toyed with this white-haired ape-like demon!
But alas...
Life has no "ifs"!
If Ye Fan had no other trump cards, today would be precarious...
At this moment.
Ye Fan faced the most difficult decision of his life!
To die peacefully, but to drag everyone else down with him!
Or to save them.
But to repeat his past mistakes!
Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I think so much?
They were just passersby in my life, weren't they?
Ye Fan originally thought he could be heartless.
But when the time came, he found it too difficult...
He really couldn't bear to watch these people die with him...
Could it be that he could only tread the old path?
No, absolutely not!
If I had even a little bit of cultivation now, perhaps I could have used my weakness to defeat the White Reaper's weakness.
But I have no cultivation at all now, and my mental attack was ineffective.
It seems like a dead end, doesn't it?
Huh?
Wait a minute!
Speaking of weaknesses...
Damn it, it seems like it's not impossible!
With that thought, Ye Fan slapped his thigh hard!
The entire Zi Yun Zhenren was shocked by the slap on his thigh!
In full view of everyone, you actually slapped your master's thigh???
You vile disciple, are you trying to betray your master and ancestors!
The others quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to see anything.
Damn, big news!
No wonder Ye Fan wasn't interested in those female disciples before, did this kid have this intention?
But the sect master is his master, this is simply...
Too exciting!
But speaking of which, shouldn't this kind of thing be done behind closed doors when no one is around?
Are your master and disciple playing so wildly?
But since Ye Fan still has this thought now, does it mean there's a solution?
...
Ye Fan was completely unaware of the mistaken thigh-slap or the wild imaginations of the others.
He cursed himself as an idiot in his heart!
This White Reaper creature had existed in some of his previous lives.
Unfortunately, he had broken through too quickly back then, completely skipping the White Reaper level of monsters...
This led to him not having specifically studied the weaknesses of such monsters.
Even if he encountered them occasionally later, he would just crush them with brute force, who would bother studying their weaknesses?
It was only later, by chance, that he learned about this creature's peculiar weakness.
If it weren't for that incident, he would have thought of it as soon as he saw it.
But fortunately, it's not too late now!
Although I can't complete it independently now, isn't there the Second Elder!
"Second Elder, I need you to refine a pill for me," Ye Fan walked over and said.
"Refine a pill?" The Second Elder's eyes lit up, "Leave it to me, I love refining pills the most!"
"Oh, right," the Second Elder inquired, "What kind of pill do you want?"
"The Spirit Burst Pill," Ye Fan explained, "But it's a little different from the Spirit Burst Pills you usually refine. The required ingredients are Ten Thousand Spirit Grass, Purple Snake Vine, Blazing Flame Artemisia..."
As Ye Fan spoke, the others were utterly bewildered.
No?
At this critical juncture, why are you going to refine pills?
The Spirit Burst Pill, it sounds very powerful!
Could it be a divine pill that allows one to instantly explode and defeat this demon beast?
Even that would be understandable.
But the problem is, you're asking the Second Elder to refine it?
A pill refined by the Second Elder?
Can that thing even be eaten when it's made...
In everyone's hearts, infinite respect for Ye Fan arose!
To save everyone, Ye Fan dared to take such a huge risk!
What a great spirit!
