Freedom!
Lin Xiao was actually attempting to break through to the Freedom Realm?!
He was a cultivator and had never experienced the process of entering the Freedom Realm through martial arts, but he knew that for martial artists to ascend from the Divine Realm to Freedom was infinitely more difficult than for cultivators. Among so many astonishingly talented martial artists, less than one percent could achieve Freedom.
However, any martial artist who could step into Freedom from the Divine Realm could contend against ten cultivators of the same realm.
That was why True Man Tian He dared not engage with Zhang Wuwei; he had been beaten too many times.
Was he going to witness firsthand someone ascending from the Divine Realm to the Freedom Realm?
And was this person using him, with his life as a stepping stone?
No…
He would not allow it!
Even if he died here today, he would personally destroy Lin Xiao! He absolutely could not let Lin Xiao live… if he lived…
With this thought, he sealed off all the blood in his body and used spiritual energy to support his heart.
One minute.
This was his final minute of peak condition.
If he didn't do this, and merely used his spiritual energy to seal the wound in his heart, he could extend his life, perhaps for half an hour? With sufficient effective medicine, he might even survive, but.
He had now abandoned that possibility.
Lin Xiao's smile was as contorted as it could be, more like a grimace forced onto his pain-twisted face than a smile.
From that moment on, he had reminded himself never to let anyone see his pain, no matter the time, and never to admit defeat in spirit.
The rampage of power within his body brought his meridians to the brink of collapse.
His body had completely reached its limit.
Compared to the countless spiritual energies he absorbed from Tian He to save his life, the stab wound seemed less significant.
In an instant, he had done his best to adjust the position of the stab. The blade hadn't even pierced his lungs but instead went through the muscles of his chest and back, lodging itself against his ribs. Fortunately, his left lung had only been grazed.
The excess force from the sword was entirely devoured by him.
This was what allowed him to survive now.
However, his condition was even worse than when he was thrashed by the old Daoist.
The change in True Man Tian He's aura made him very clear on one thing.
The opponent was going all out.
If his physical condition were even slightly better, he would have definitely mocked True Man Tian He fiercely. But his current state left him with all his effort focused on adjusting his body; as for anything else…
How could Lin Xiao resist, when even lifting an arm required sheer willpower?
"Roar!"
The True Dragon Qi at this moment transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon that coiled around Lin Xiao. Armor attached itself to the golden dragon.
This was Lin Xiao's final resistance.
He didn't know if his True Dragon Qi could withstand True Man Tian He now, but there was no more time for him.
The moment the True Dragon Qi enveloped him for protection, True Man Tian He had already reached Lin Xiao. He unleashed a palm strike, and the pressure of the Freedom Realm washed over him.
The bones within his body began to disintegrate.
He immediately had the True Dragon Qi propel him to roll several times on the ground, dissipating most of the force, which also allowed him to dodge the palm strike.
