Chapter 48 A Desperate Comeback
Ye Xiaobai carefully considered the means he currently possessed: some low-level talismans, over thirty low-grade magic artifacts, several mid-grade and high-grade magic artifacts, and his own top-grade flying sword, the Flying Crimson Flame Sword.
Although there is a third-tier formation, it takes time to deploy, so that's definitely not feasible. There are also some daily-use pills.
Senior Jing Qianli has been in a deep sleep for a long time and still cannot be awakened.
"It's over. There's no way to break this deadlock." Ye Xiaobai felt like he was being driven into a corner once again, and this was the second time since he transmigrated.
The last time he faced danger, he was saved thanks to the help of a benefactor. That benefactor was none other than Li Xinyan, who was now trapped. Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You brat, how dare you be distracted in a life-or-death battle? You're asking for death!" Zhao Deren attacked immediately after discovering Ye Xiaobai's weakness.
Seeing the sharp cyan sword light surging towards him like a tide, Ye Xiaobai felt a sense of despair, but he mustered his courage and fought back!
With a clang, Ye Xiaobai's Flying Crimson Flame Sword was knocked away, and Ye Xiaobai himself was also thrown more than ten feet away by the shockwave from the sword energy.
Ye Xiaobai immediately felt an unprecedented pain in his chest, and then vomited a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh".
As Zhao Deren slowly approached Ye Xiaobai's location, Ye Xiaobai endured the pain in his body and used a flying sword to support himself as he barely managed to stand up.
"You brat, you're incompetent but you want to play the hero and save the damsel in distress? Aren't you just asking for trouble?" Zhao Deren said mockingly. Ye Xiaobai was speechless for a moment, feeling a surge of anger rising within him. With a "pfft," Ye Xiaobai spat out another mouthful of blood.
"It's time to end the battle. It won't be fun once the effects of the medicine wear off." Zhao Deren said calmly, looking at Ye Xiaobai's weak and listless appearance. After speaking, he used his flying sword to attack Ye Xiaobai again.
At this moment, Ye Xiaobai had no strength left to attack and could only desperately defend. The three low-grade flying swords were instantly shattered as soon as they came into contact with the sword light of the Azure Vine Sword. Moreover, the aftershocks of the sword light did not weaken much and continued to rush towards Ye Xiaobai.
With no other choice, Ye Xiaobai could only detonate two low-grade flying swords to barely withstand the attack.
Even if Ye Xiaobai self-destructs his flying sword, he won't be able to hold on for long, and a sense of despair grows in his heart.
"Stop struggling, wouldn't it be better to just die a quick death?" Zhao Deren said, pretending to be kind, as he watched Ye Xiaobai struggle in his death throes with his self-destructing flying sword. Then he launched an even more ferocious attack.
At this moment, Ye Xiaobai's spiritual energy was almost depleted, so he had no choice but to grab a few Qi-restoring pills and stuff them into his mouth.
Ye Xiaobai had no time to refine it, so he could only let the spiritual energy of the Qi-restoring pill run rampant in his body, and then rely entirely on his own body to slowly absorb and refine it.
Outside, the sword light was deadly; inside, the unrestrained spiritual power surged wildly. Ye Xiaobai was just about to complain about the elixir.
"A miraculous pill!"
Ye Xiaobai finally found the only way out of what seemed like a hopeless situation—the Soul-Locking and Bone-Corroding Powder. Ye Xiaobai had previously looted Lu Piaopiao's storage bag and obtained a few of these powders; now he could turn the tide.
Ye Xiaobai first detonated several flying swords to temporarily block Zhao Deren's attack, and then threw over the few Soul-Locking and Bone-Corroding Powders he had and various low-level spirit talismans of different colors.
Zhao Deren found it laughable to watch Ye Xiaobai haphazardly throwing out talismans as if he were desperate for a cure. With just a light sword strike, he easily neutralized the attacks generated by the numerous low-level talismans.
"This should really end now!" Zhao Deren said viciously, staring at the barely surviving Ye Xiaobai. Then, he noticed a strange smile on Ye Xiaobai's face.
"It's time to end this, 3, 2, 1!" Ye Xiaobai said calmly.
"Playing tricks!" Zhao Deren naturally didn't believe Ye Xiaobai could pull off any more tricks. Just as he was preparing for the final blow, he heard Ye Xiaobai finish saying "1," and the flying sword he was controlling fell from the sky.
Immediately afterward, he felt completely powerless, unable to cast any spells. Zhao Deren was instantly shocked. His eyes widened, pupils dilated, and he stared intently at Ye Xiaobai like a venomous snake, shouting, "What exactly did you do?"
"Guess!" Ye Xiaobai quickly moved towards Zhao Deren's location.
Even the slow-witted Zhao Deren realized he was poisoned. He quickly used the last bit of strength he had to take out the antidote pill from his storage bag and swallow it, but it had no effect after a long time.
"Could it be the Soul-Locking and Bone-Corroding Powder?" Zhao Deren had taken a mid-grade antidote pill and knew that most poisons could be neutralized, unless it was the legendary Soul-Locking and Bone-Corroding Powder, which required a high-grade or top-grade antidote pill to be effective.
"You guessed right, at least I won't be a fool!" After saying that, Ye Xiaobai used all the spiritual power he could muster to quickly kill Zhao Deren with his sword technique, leaving him no chance.
After finishing everything, Ye Xiaobai immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. After all, the secret realm was fraught with danger. After catching his breath, Ye Xiaobai immediately sat down to meditate and refine the Qi-restoring pill in his body.
Having refined most of the spiritual energy within his body, Ye Xiaobai first took Zhao Deren's storage bag and the spiritual weapon, then cleared the battlefield with a fire.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Xiaobai arrived at Li Xinyan's side. By this time, Li Xinyan's binding spell had already disappeared, but the effects of the pill had not yet dissipated.
"Senior sister, how are you?" Ye Xiaobai greeted as he approached.
Upon hearing Ye Xiaobai's voice, Li Xinyan immediately pounced on him and began to grope him, even unconsciously starting to undress. Seeing Li Xinyan's flushed face and extreme excitement, Ye Xiaobai almost couldn't resist, but ultimately reason prevailed over desire.
Ye Xiaobai took out an antidote pill and gave it to Li Xinyan. After a short while, Li Xinyan recovered.
After Li Xinyan recovered, she first straightened her clothes. Her face was still flushed, and she said aggrievedly, "Junior Brother Ye, why are you here? Where is that beast Zhao Deren?"
"I've already killed him!"
"Thanks to Junior Brother Ye, otherwise I would have been... Waaah!" Li Xinyan said, tears streaming down her face, and then she hugged Ye Xiaobai tightly.
At first, she was sobbing softly, but then she burst into loud wails, which made everyone who heard it feel sorry for her.
Ye Xiaobai gently patted Li Xinyan's shoulder, trying his best to comfort her, "Senior sister, it's alright, it's all over!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xinyan cried even harder.
Ye Xiaobai kept comforting her, and after a long while, she finally returned to normal and stopped crying.
Ye Xiaobai gently wiped away the tears from Li Xinyan's eyes and teased, "Senior sister, don't cry anymore, or you'll look like a little kitten!"
"Hmph!" Li Xinyan snorted and pushed Ye Xiaobai's hand away.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. There are still many wonderful days ahead for us in the Foundation Establishment stage," Ye Xiaobai said, handing Li Xinyan a bottle of Qi-restoring pills so that she could recover her spiritual power first. After she recovered, they would return together to the location where the White Tiger Sect disciples gathered.
