Chapter 1228: 1228
Gui Nu was in pain .
His tolerance for pain was a hundred times stronger than the average person, but the pain he was feeling was so high that he felt like he was close to fainting .
The energy within his body was going crazy and seemed as though it was ready to tear apart his organ, bones, and flesh if left unchecked . Not even the usage of his soulforce was enough to drive this feeling away .
The sequential attack dealt by Bai Yunfei was not a weak one . So much damage was dealt that the average Soul Emperor would definitely be rendered unable to battle . It was only thanks to Gui Nu’s extraordinary body that he was able to endure it .
Gui Nu, or also known as Zhang Zhenshan, was the servant Mo Ni had spent the last decade ‘training’ . Practically every motion that made a human a human had been stripped away from him . The only concepts that remained were his ‘loyalty’ to Mo Ni and…his ‘hatred’ for Bai Yunfei .
Hatred inevitably became the very reason for his existence and the sole reason why he was like this . Not even the loss of his sanity would be enough to wipe away the grudge . The hatred he felt for Bai Yunfei was so deep it was etched into his very bones . Knowing that he was in front of Bai Yunfei, Gui Nu was fully committed to have Bai Yunfei dismembered limb from limb and his death made a painful one!!
But Gui Nu came to a painful realization after his last exchange with Bai Yunfei—he was weaker than Bai Yunfei!
“More! More!! I need more! More power!”
His mind was still able to reflect upon the state of his battle despite the pain . And yet his eyes looked like they were losing more of their clarity every moment . Then his eyes swiveled over in another direction . Like a vulture who had just seen some prey, Gui Nu had spotted something .
The smell of ‘prey’! The smell of ‘energy’!!
“Roar!!”
Driven by his own instincts and thirst for power, Gui Nu unleashed a howl of excitement and flew towards the gigantic black-red whirlpool!
……
Inside the whirlpool .
“Three Regalias…Three! Damn it!!”
Dongfang Ming was in a state right now . He had never thought Bai Yunfei would’ve been able to push him this far . His body was weak and his soulforce even weaker like a flickering candle flame ready to be blown out . He had stumps for arms and his left leg was gone at the knee . His skin was the same color of ash and multiple wounds littered the surface of his body so that dark-red blood would flow out in a constant stream . Like rain, the streams of blood disseminated into the whirlpool around him and scattered away .
A third ball of light was rotating around himself now . The first two lights belonged to his helix sword and the bone shield while this new third one was the same blood-red dagger used to injure Zi Jin .
Things were looking slightly better for him now that he wasn’t in the Phantasm anymore . Now that there was a source of elemental energy to draw from, he could transform it into soulforce for his demonic core to make use of and help heal his body .
Already, his body was starting to patch up starting from the wound on his torso . The ashen color of his skin was also gradually returning to its original pigmentation .
It brought him no small pleasure to see and feel his body recover . Anytime now, Dongfang Ming was sure, Bai Yunfei’s ultimate attack would come . And he’d need all the strength he could for when it did .
“Eh?!”
A powerful aura registered itself to his senses then . Something nearly the same color as the whirlpool around him had entered the vicinity toward him!
“Gui Nu!!”
Dongfang Ming let out a surprised cry, he hadn’t thought to see Gui Nu here, but he was glad . Him being here meant Mo Ni was finally taking action, and that meant Gui Nu could delay Bai Yunfei long enough for him to heal .
But the joy on his face quickly turned into shock a moment later…
“Gui Nu!! What—what are you do—argh!!”
