Chapter 101: Unknown Grave

Although I don't know what the strange pill that the young man surnamed Qu just swallowed is, I think it is some kind of medicine that can stimulate the body's potential. Although this kind of medicine that stimulates the body's potential can greatly improve the combat power of the cultivator in a short period of time, it usually has serious side effects and will most likely cost a heavy price.

However, facing this kind of life-and-death battle, if it were Xiao Lin himself, he would probably swallow this strange pill without hesitation. Compared with the annihilation of the body and soul after failure, it is naturally worth paying a little price.

But after feeling the terrifying pressure from the giant axe, Xiao Lin almost didn't think about it. He slapped the waist bag with his right hand, and a palm-sized red jade pendant emerged from it. The jade pendant was wrapped in a hazy red light and was spinning.

Xiao Lin's eyes showed a cold look, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood sprayed directly on the jade pendant, and then a ball of blood flames burned from the jade pendant. This blood flame just jumped up a foot high and suddenly shot into Xiao Lin's body.

Then, blood-colored flames burned on the surface of Xiao Lin's entire body. At the same time, the nine lavender fireballs suspended in front of Xiao Lin shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, they became the size of a baby's fist, and emitted a light black halo. At the same time, the terrifying burning breath emitted from them surprised even Xiao Lin himself.

The power of the primary great perfection spell was instantly increased by at least 50%. In Xiao Lin's opinion, even if the opponent was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, he might not be able to escape unscathed when facing his fireball spell.

The young man surnamed Qu also showed surprise in his eyes. He took a [Blood Demon Pill], which directly increased his attack by more than double. This [Blood Demon Pill] was bought at an auction at a huge price by him. It has always been used as a killer to save his life. Now facing Xiao Lin, who has practiced the primary spell of the great perfection level, the fireball spell, he felt that he had no chance of winning and chose to use this [Blood Demon Pill] without hesitation.

But the cost of taking this [Blood Demon Pill] is also huge. Once the effect of the medicine dissipates, his cultivation will drop directly to the ninth level of Qi Refining. More importantly, it will damage his foundation. He basically has no chance of building a foundation. The [Blood Demon Pill] will overdraw his potential, making it several times more difficult for him to break through the bottleneck of the foundation building period, which basically cuts off his path of cultivation.

So this [Blood Demon Pill] is basically a last resort to die with the enemy. Even if the enemy can be killed, his life of cultivation is doomed to end here. Unless he encounters a great opportunity, building a foundation is completely hopeless.

It was precisely because of the amazing pressure from the giant axe in the hands of the young man surnamed Qu that Xiao Lin sacrificed the Fire Cloud Pendant without hesitation, which made him quite depressed. Last time it was the Great Perfection-level demon beast Demon Fang Black Bat King, but now it is a Great Perfection cultivator in the Qi Refining period. It seems that these Great Perfection cultivators in the Qi Refining period have more or less some trump cards of their own. If you want to kill them, you really can't do it without fighting some price.

The giant axe in the hands of the young man surnamed Qu cracked with a "crack", as if it could not withstand the huge mana poured into it.

Xiao Lin knew that the duel between the two had reached the moment of life and death, so he naturally stopped holding back. Under the burning blood flame, the virtual Yuan Ling shield in front of him had turned light red, and the nine light red virtual Yuan Ling shields also grew larger again. After layering, a blood-colored heavy shield was formed in front of Xiao Lin.

The nine fireballs, which had shrunk by a circle and were only the size of a baby's fist, kept spinning, madly absorbing the mana in Xiao Lin's body. In just a moment, Xiao Lin felt that his mana was consumed by almost everything, and coupled with the 10% consumption of blood and qi, Xiao Lin's face turned extremely pale.

"Kill."

"Go."

Two cold voices came out of the two people's mouths almost at the same time.

A blood-colored axe shadow tore through the air, and with a sharp whistling sound, it slashed towards Xiao Lin, and the nine light black fireballs in front of Xiao Lin were strangely divided into two strings, avoiding the blood-colored axe shadow that was slashing, and shot towards the body of the young man surnamed Qu.

Xiao Lin's face was full of frost, and his eyes were murderous. A heavy blood-colored shield blocked in front of him, and behind this blood-colored shield, a cyan-gold shield was still tightly attached to his chest as the last defense.

Xiao Lin was gambling. He was betting that his defense could withstand the attack of the blood-colored axe shadow, and he was also betting that the young man surnamed Qu could not withstand his fireball spell that was amplified by 50%. He was completely desperate at this moment.

Almost 90% of the mana in his body was injected into the two great perfection-level spells.

Violent explosions were heard from the valley, and they lasted for a long time. Within a dozen feet around the two people, all the rocks, flowers and plants were swept away. The smoke and dust dissipated. Xiao Lin looked at the cracks on the green gold shield in front of him, and a bitter smile appeared on his extremely pale face.

The position of the young man surnamed Qu opposite him was empty except for a storage bag on the ground. Three feet in front of Xiao Lin, the broken pieces of the giant axe fell all over the ground.

Xiao Lin made the right bet, and he did defend himself. Although the young man surnamed Qu withstood nearly half of the fireball's attack with his gold body technique, he was still blown into ashes by the remaining fireballs, leaving no bones. Only the storage bag on his waist survived the aftermath of the fireball explosion.

Although he had overestimated the impact of the blood-colored axe shadow, Xiao Lin was still terrified when it hit his Void Spirit Shield. The nine layers of Void Spirit Shield were completely broken, and the Blue Gold Shield was also seriously damaged. It seemed that he could not use it again without returning to the Immortal City for repair.

After this battle, Xiao Lin also understood that a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage was indeed not easy to deal with. Under his desperate struggle, even if he had practiced the primary spells of the Great Perfection level, if it were not for the blessing of the Fire Cloud Pendant, the final victory would be hard to say. Maybe he would die under the blood-colored axe shadow.

Xiao Lin stared at the broken pieces of the magic weapon in front of him and fell silent.

Half a day later, Xiao Lin stood in front of an unknown tomb, silent for a long time. No trace of the young man surnamed Qu was left. He could only collect the broken remains of the magic weapon and build this nameless tomb, which was regarded as fulfilling his promise to the young man surnamed Qu. He did not engrave the young man surnamed Qu's name, because it was meaningless to him. They, the cultivators, had anticipated such a scene since the day they embarked on the road of cultivation.
