Grand Senior Sister, who was still hugging Li Chengfeng, froze like a statue. Everything that had happened was too much for her eyes to take in. Before this, she was still a weakling who needed Li Chengfeng's protection, but now, in the blink of an eye, Li Chengfeng had fallen into her arms and needed her protection.
Fortunately, the strong enemies had retreated, or else …
Grand Senior Sister could not help but shudder, not daring to think any further. She reached for her hair and found a small copper whistle hidden in her thick hair. Then, she placed it between her lips and blew on it.
The copper whistle didn't make any sound, but if someone were to look closer, they would see that the intricate patterns engraved on the small copper whistle were glowing with a faint purple light. At the same time, the air around the light was trembling slightly, as if it was emitting some kind of ultrasonic wave that couldn't be heard or seen with the eyes.
Grand Senior Sister blew the whistle in a rhythm of three long and one short. After three cycles, she carefully hid the whistle in her hair.
This was her last life-saving measure. It was also the last trump card that she had not used even when she was almost at the end of her rope when she was being hunted by Chaos.
After hiding the whistle, she gently placed Li Chengfeng on the ground in front of her. When she saw the uneven ground littered with rocks, she hesitated for a moment before sweeping the rocks away. Then, she sat cross-legged and placed Li Chengfeng's head gently on her lap. At the same time, she gently pressed an acupuncture point on Li Chengfeng's chest.
Although the two of them had many grudges, when Li Chengfeng subconsciously pulled Grand Senior Sister behind him to protect her during the Sword Enlightened's final frenzied counterattack, Grand Senior Sister's cold heart could not help but tremble.
Li Chengfeng's seven orifices were bleeding profusely. His skin and flesh were aging and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that the sword strike had greatly overdrawn his life force. In addition to the terrifying battle that had just erupted, the Divine and Saint Energy in the surroundings were mixed and surging, but there was no life force that could be mobilized to replenish Li Chengfeng's body. This caused Li Chengfeng to be unable to make ends meet and had no choice but to crazily consume his life force.
Grand Senior Sister stared at Li Chengfeng. She knew that if this continued, Li Chengfeng would die in front of her in less than two or three seconds. Even if he did not die, his powers would be greatly reduced.
Grand Senior Sister was silent for a while. She looked at the Heaven Splitter Sword that Li Chengfeng was still gripping tightly even when he was unconscious. Then, she made a mudra with one hand and brought her other wrist to her mouth. She bit her wrist lightly with her pearly white teeth, causing her wrist to bleed. She then placed the wound on her wrist to Li Chengfeng's mouth.
The blood flowed onto Li Chengfeng's face. Before it touched his skin, it turned into a purple mist and entered Li Chengfeng's mouth like a chain. Then, it flowed out of his orifices like a chain that bound him, then quickly came out of his mouth and flowed towards Grand Senior Sister's wound, locking her in place.
In an instant, the purple chain locked the two of them tightly together. Li Chengfeng's rate of decline slowed down but Grand Senior Sister's face turned paler and paler. Her face rapidly deteriorated, as if she had linked her life to Li Chengfeng's, using her own to slow down his rapid decline.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Grand Senior Sister's hair started to wither like withered grass, losing its original glossy appearance. Her lips cracked one after another, but no blood flowed out. Her eye sockets sunk in bit by bit, making her look like a skeleton.
Grand Senior Sister gritted her teeth but did not pull back her bleeding wrist. Just as she was about to fall, four black figures silently crept up on the ground. When they appeared near Grand Senior Sister, they gathered into human shapes. They were four men dressed in black robes, their faces hidden in a cloud of black mist.
One of them said in a raspy voice, "The Twin Departed Souls Blood Technique?" He turned to the other three. "Quick, save the Lord!"
Without further explanation, the other three raised their hands, one hand forming a mudra while the other bit open the blood vessels on their wrists. Then, they poured their blood onto Grand Senior Sister's head.
Their blood rained down like rain, but when it landed on Grand Senior Sister's head, it immediately turned into a purple mist that flowed endlessly into her Baihui acupuncture point on her head.
With the blood of these four people as a supplement, Grand Senior Sister's deteriorating speed was immediately halted. The blood on Grand Senior Sister's wrist was like a purple chain connecting to Li Chengfeng, while Grand Senior Sister was also connected to the four black-robed men by her side.
This strange scene lasted for less than half an incense stick of time. Although Li Chengfeng's aging was slowing down, his life was still fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. Grand Senior Sister was the same. White hairs began to appear at the roots of her hair and crow's feet started to appear at the corners of her eyes.
The leader of the black-robed men gritted his teeth and said, "Take good care of the High Lord!"
Then he patted his waist, and from under his robe flew out a dagger inlaid with five coloured jewels, and it whistled in the air.
When the other three saw this, they immediately turned pale with fright. The black mist covering their faces twisted violently. One of the men with the sharper voice quickly said, "No!
Let me do it! "
The leader roared, "This is an order!"
After saying that, he looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. The black mist on his face gradually dissipated, revealing the thin face of an old man. There was a smile on his face as if he was about to step into the holy land of heaven. His expression was indescribably peaceful and happy.
"The heroic soul is immortal, the battle spirit is immortal!"
The old man muttered in a low voice, and then he knelt down and lowered his head. He was still forming seals with his fingers, but he raised the dagger by his side and chopped down heavily!
The old man's head was immediately chopped off and fell to the ground. His eyes looked at the sky and blinked a few times. Finally, he closed his eyes with a smile on his face.
However, the blood that gushed out from the old man's decapitated neck turned into a thick purple mist and surged into Grand Senior Sister's body.
Grand Senior Sister's aging stopped for a moment but it did not stop. Like a terrifying Grim Reaper, it slowed down but still approached Li Chengfeng and Grand Senior Sister step by step!
The man with the sharp voice immediately said, "Let me do it!
You two take care of the Great Lord! "
After saying that, he did not wait for the other two to help him. A silver rod flew out from his waist. He pinched his fingers together and looked up to the west. The black fog on his face gradually dissipated, revealing a young and inexperienced face. But although he was young, his eyes were full of fanaticism and determination.
"The heroic soul is immortal, the battle spirit is immortal!"
The young man murmured, then smashed the rod down heavily on his head. With a loud bang, his head was smashed like a watermelon. Blood spurted everywhere but quickly turned into purple mist, gushing out of his body and into Grand Senior Sister's body. Then, it flowed into Li Chengfeng's body through the purple chain that bound her to him.
The thick black mist around the faces of the remaining two people also disappeared, revealing the faces of two middle-aged men. They looked at each other without a hint of fear, only nodding at each other. They saw that Grand Senior Sister's decline had been greatly reduced, but she still hadn't been able to turn the situation around.
The man on the right had reddened eyes as he whispered to the man on the left, "Take care of the Great Lord!"
The man on the left choked, "Yes …"
The man on the right smiled. "Why are you crying?
I've been away from home for almost a hundred years. My heroic soul is about to return home, that's a good thing! "
The man on the left held back his tears and nodded. "Yes!"
The man on the right knelt down. After taking a deep look at the west, he raised his hand, used it as a knife, and slashed down at his own neck. His head was cut off as his hand passed through it!
In an instant, all three men were beheaded. Three streams of purple mist engulfed Grand Senior Sister and Li Chengfeng. Finally, Grand Senior Sister's white hair slowly turned black, her skin regaining its colour. Li Chengfeng's sunken eye sockets slowly filled up, his aged skin returning to its youthful state.
But beside them, the three headless corpses, who were either kneeling or standing, stood there like monuments.
Other than themselves and Grand Senior Sister, no one knew who they were, and no one knew of their sacrifice.
