Chapter 360: Try Your Best

The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at a certain place on the battlefield with some solemnity.

What he was watching was not the fight between the 20,000 old camps and countless demon soldiers, nor the fight between Nezha and the Bull Demon King, or the fight between Wang Lingguan and the five demon kings.

Instead, it was a battle between Jiang Lin and Kui, two Golden Immortals.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu stretched out his fingers silently, ready to take action at any time.

At the same time, he was absolutely sure that the old guy hiding in the deepest part of the Shiwan Mountains must be watching the battle between Jiang Lin and Kui.

Both sides were very clear that, perhaps, in this life-and-death war between the Heavenly Court and the demon clan, the first battle between powerful masters would determine who would make the first move, and it would all be determined in the outcome of the battle between Jiang Lin and Kui.

There is no other reason, the identities of these two people are too special.

Whether it is Jiang Lin or Kui, if they die at the hands of the other, they will be willing, and both of them are qualified to kill the other.

But the existence behind Jiang Lin and Kui will not allow it.

It is impossible for the Great Emperor Zhenwu to watch Jiang Lin die here, and it is impossible for the great masters of the demon clan to allow Kunpeng's bloodline to be cut off.

The moment when Jiang Lin and Kui were about to decide the winner was the moment when the powerful master took action.

To take action means to protect Jiang Lin or Kui, so whoever takes action first will lose the opportunity.

The fight between powerful people, especially those with equal strength, often depends on the subtle advantages.

Boy Jiang, it depends on you whether I will be at a disadvantage this time.

Emperor Zhenwu thought silently in his heart.

However, Jiang Lin and Kui didn't know that their victory or defeat would actually affect the battle between the powerful masters.

Neither of them has the energy to think so much right now.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Jiang Lin was panting in a very ungraceful manner. The silver armor on his body was full of holes. The golden bow behind him had long disappeared, and the bullet bag on his belt had long been used up.

At this moment, there was almost no good meat on Jiang Lin's body.

The bones of his left arm had been completely shattered into powder, and his shoulder was drooping limply.

The right arm was slightly better, but the palm was gone.

All the internal organs are wailing, and the pain in the flesh is constantly demanding attention.

The whole person felt as if locked in an ice cellar, even his bones were a little stiff.

Although Aoi's original cold energy was exhausted, it was obvious that the blood and energy used by this guy to strengthen his body had already cultivated cold energy.

This also resulted in Jiang Lin feeling a little stagnant.

Of course, Aoi wasn't feeling well either.

The skull that was cut off at the beginning grew back a little, but the entire left leg was refined into meaningless ashes.

The black armor on his body was also covered with cracks, barely hanging on his body, but a considerable part of it was still missing.

On her face, there was a bloodstain deep enough to see the bone, from her left eye to the right corner of her lip.

This sword was Jiang Lin's last strike with the Seven Star Sword. If Kui had not dodged quickly, the matter of life and death would have been decided long ago.

That’s right, Jiang Lin’s Seven Star Sword was also knocked away. Although the Seven Star Sword had its own spirituality, Jiang Lin was not the master of the Seven Star Sword after all. His two hands no longer had the ability to hold the Seven Star Sword.

His hands and arms were almost disabled. This was the result of the armor on Aoi's body being almost completely ineffective, plus the loss of half of his right arm.

"call……"

Aoi exhaled a breath, like the last gasp of a broken bellows.

Because right at the position of her throat, a soul-killing nail was tightly wedged in, and the nail was emitting evil spirits.

This was constructed by Jiang Lin using the Xingsha. In order to make this soul-killing nail fall on Kui's throat, Jiang Lin paid the price of one hand.

Jiang Lin and Kui are almost the same in strength. If they want to inflict permanent injuries on the other party, there is only one choice, and that is to exchange injuries.

All they can do is to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.

Now it seems that Jiang Lin has a slight advantage.

After all, Jiang Lin is at least a complete person.

And Aoi had lost half an arm and an entire leg.

Jiang Lin's internal organs were corroded by the cold air, and Kui's body was also extremely heavy at this moment, under tremendous pressure.

When a cultivator fights in physical combat, blood and qi are the most important. But when they reach the level of Kui and Jiang Lin, blood and qi are no longer just fuel for strengthening the body.

Their blood and energy already have unique special effects.

For example, Kui’s coldness and Jiang Lin’s earth energy.

The pitch-black air was mixed with a dim aura, lingering around Kui's internal organs and even his bone marrow. Every wisp of the mother energy of the earth brought unspeakable pressure to Kui.

The bodies of the two were already crumbling, their magic power had long been exhausted, there was no chance of recovery at all, and their energy and blood were completely depleted.

The weapons that both sides relied on, whether it was the Black Armor or the Seven-Star Sword, had either been chopped to pieces or could not be lifted, and they had lost their meaning.

This is almost a complete exhaustion.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the eyes of both parties. When they look at each other, they still have an extremely firm meaning of "I must kill you".

Jiang Lin and Kui looked at each other in silence, neither of them had any intention of taking action in advance.

Because everyone knows that if they act prematurely, there will be only one result, and that is that the opponent will get there first and kill them.

Now, each of them only has one chance to attack.

They were all barely standing, silently accumulating their last bit of strength.

At this point in the battle, it is no longer a competition of realm, accumulation or magic weapons, but a battle of pure willpower.

At the same time, this is also the most brutal battle Jiang Lin has ever experienced since his debut.

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the air.

Outside Jiang Lin and Kui, the great celestial beings and even true immortal masters from the heavenly court and the demon clan were all trying desperately to get closer.

Even a celestial being could take down Jiang Lin and Kui, who were at the end of their rope.

Whether it was to help their own people or to gain military merit, in short, the people of Heaven wanted to kill Kui, and the monsters of the monster clan wanted to kill Jiang Lin.

The two sides were restraining each other. If a demon fairy dared to approach, a fairy from heaven would immediately come to stop him, and vice versa.

As for the Golden Immortals on both sides, they were all trying their best to drag their opponents, fearing that their negligence would affect the battle between Jiang Lin and Kui.

At this moment, Jiang Lin and Kui were like the center of a storm. The periphery was in extreme chaos, but there was no ripple at the position of the Phoenix Eye.

Neither Jiang Lin nor Kui had any intention of paying attention to other places.

There is only the other person's shadow in my eyes.

Time passed little by little.

at last……

'boom! ’

'Om! '

Jiang Lin and Kui moved at the same time.

The jet-black armor on Aoi's body suddenly dissipated, leaving only a piece of arm armor still on his hand.

The tight lining outlines absolutely charming curves, like an extremely agile cheetah.

As for Jiang Lin, a Fengdu evil spirit was emanating from his entire body.

The evil spirit gathered together on Jiang Lin's shattered arm, forcibly gluing the arm together.

At the same time, it also gave Jiang Lin the capital for the final blow.

Both sides raised their fists at the same time, one fist was wearing a tattered iron glove, and the other fist was wrapped in a sparse Fengdu demon.

He used up his last bit of strength and rushed towards the other party.

However, just when everyone was looking forward to the outcome, Jiang Lin and Kui's bodies softened almost at the same time when they were about to come into contact.

The cold air in Jiang Lin's body and the mother earth energy in Kui's body reached the limit of what the body could bear at the same time.

Under this sudden pressure, Jiang Lin and Kui's arms drooped limply.

'puff! '

It was supposed to be a collision of fists, but at this moment, it became a collision of bodies.

Jiang Lin and Kui stuck together tightly because they suddenly lost strength.

There was no romance or ambiguity, only the strong smell of blood and the murderous intent that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Lin raised his head high, and then hit Kui's forehead hard.

As a result, Aoi's body leaned back, and her already broken skull seemed to be boiling because of this blow. However, she managed to rely on her last bit of strength, with a wail from her neck that could not bear the burden, and at the cost of breaking her neck, she forced her head back.

And one step faster than Jiang Lin!
The next moment, Aoi buried her cheek in Jiang Lin's neck.

'Pfft! '

Jiang Lin's neck was bitten through by Kui's teeth, and large amounts of blood spurted out.

"Well……"

Jiang Lin only felt extremely cold air flowing through the blood vessels in his neck and spreading throughout his body.

This damn woman, she bit her tongue in advance, and her blood was full of that weird coldness!

Jiang Lin understood instantly that this woman was forcibly transfusing Jiang Lin's blood. When the cold blood spread throughout Jiang Lin's body, that would be the end of his death.

You might as well stop being a descendant of Kunpeng and become a vampire!
Jiang Lin gritted his teeth and swallowed back the scream of severe pain. At the same time, the real last trace of Fengdu Divine Evil that had been buried in his right leg in advance burst out, slightly breaking through the blockade of cold air, and then his feet moved.

His knee suddenly rose up and hit Aoi's lower abdomen hard.

Kui was hiding his final killer move, and Jiang Lin was of course no exception. The two of them had long expected that the hidden injuries in their bodies would erupt the moment the two sides came into contact, so that punch was doomed to have no effect. What they were fighting for now was a life-for-life fight without any rules!
"Ka-ra..."

With a heavy muffled thud, Aoi's body was pushed high up into the air, and even her spine was bulged out by the impact, with no one knowing how many sections were broken.

But even after such a heavy blow, Kui's mouth was still firmly bitten on Jiang Lin's neck.

But hasn't she already flown?
Doubt flashed through Jiang Lin's mind. He reluctantly raised his hand and touched the neck, and dug out a few hard objects.

It's Aoi's teeth.

Even at the end, this vicious witch did not give up the last chance.

Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at Kui who had fallen down with a loud bang. She was lying on the ground powerlessly, looking so miserable.

The skull was sunken, and it was obvious that the person was lying prone, but the spine behind him was protruding, which gave him an indescribable weirdness.

But Jiang Lin knew that this guy was not dead yet.

The vitality of the demon race is extremely terrifying.

Jiang Lin did not use this opportunity to regulate his breathing, but instead staggered towards Kui's direction.

You can't give the other party any chance to take advantage. Only when you are completely sure of the other party's death can you breathe a sigh of relief.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Lin slowly moved to Kui's side.

'boom! '

Kui bounced up like a spring, but missed. Jiang Lin turned around at the last moment and avoided Kui's dying counterattack.

Then, Jiang Lin raised his foot, aiming not at anything else but the back of Kui's neck.

Don't forget, there is a soul-destroying nail made from the evil spirit of Fengdu stuck in Aoi's throat.

And on Jiang Lin's feet, there was still a trace of the aura of the Fengdu evil spirit.

Once Jiang Lin's foot landed on solid ground, the two Fengdu demonic energies would connect and would immediately rush into Kui's sea of ​​consciousness, destroying her purple palace and spirit platform.

Only then would Aoi be truly dead.

However, at this moment, Jiang Lin's feet just couldn't step down no matter what.

In the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Mountains, unspeakable power bloomed, blocking time, space, and even cause and effect.

The will of the great master is sent down to reverse Aoi's future of inevitable death, rescue her from the river of time, and destroy the cause and effect of Aoi's death.

Aoi's body began to blur, and it seemed like it was about to rebel against the established reality, but it immediately solidified again.

But Jiang Lin's feet still couldn't put down.

There are people with great supernatural powers in the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and there are also people with great supernatural powers within the front army of Heaven!
The figure of Emperor Zhenwu disappeared, and along with it, the terrifying aura within the Ten Thousand Mountains also disappeared.

And the figures of Jiang Lin and Kui.

Jiang Lin collapsed due to exhaustion. Before he fell, Jiang Lin vaguely saw a beam of guiding divine light enveloping him.

This made Jiang Lin feel relieved, and before Jiang Lin lost consciousness, the vague voice of Emperor Zhenwu sounded in his ears.

"well done."

Yes, of course it’s good. I really tried my best this time.

Jiang Lin wanted to pull the corners of his mouth, but his eyes went dark and he completely fainted.

…………

When Jiang Lin woke up again, he was already in a place filled with thick fairy mist.

Jiang Lin opened his eyes dazedly, only to find himself naked in a hot spring.

He subconsciously looked around and found a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar not far away.

It’s Aoi!

This made Jiang Lin's relaxed nerves tense again, but soon, after he saw something out of the corner of his eye, he relaxed again.

Because Jiang Lin didn't believe that there would be a place called Yaochi in the demon clan's territory.

"Is there really a hot spring in Yaochi?"

Jiang Lin murmured to himself. Only then did he feel the benefits of this hot spring.

The surging heat penetrated his limbs and bones. He moved his arms and found that they had recovered as before. He smacked his lips and the faint familiar smell of medicine in his mouth indicated that a lot of pills had been stuffed into his mouth while he was unconscious.

"Otherwise, Master, why do you think Yaochi is called Yaochi?"

A figure passed through the thick fog and came to Jiang Lin's side. He said in a soothing voice: "The core of Yaochi is this Tianquan. It is a magical spring intercepted from Kunlun Tianchi when the Great Celestial Venerable created the Heavenly Court."

Jiang Lin subconsciously covered his vital parts because the voice was a very gentle female voice.

Seeing this, the visitor covered his mouth and chuckled, saying, "Master, you just remembered to cover it now, I'm afraid it's a little too late. When you were sent here, it was Xiaoxian who took care of you the whole time."

Jiang Lin smiled helplessly upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, fairy."

The fairy also said seriously: "Master, you have fought for the Heavenly Court and got injured. It is an honor for me to work hard for you. Why should I thank you?"

After that, he bowed to Jiang Lin's side and said, "I am Fairy Shaoyao from the Medical Department of Yaochi Baihua Division. I am honored to meet Master Jiang."

Jiang Lin nodded, then looked at Kui who was also naked not far away, and asked, "What's going on?"

At this moment, Kui had countless transparent silk threads tied around her body. She looked very thin, but Jiang Lin recognized at a glance that it was the Star Rope of the Dou Department, which was the most effective in restraining demons.

But apart from that, Aoi's injuries have recovered a lot, at least her skull has grown back.

She looked like a peaceful sleeping beauty, but when Jiang Lin looked at her, he did not feel any desire at all, only a lingering strong murderous intent.

Jiang Lin witnessed how crazy and cruel this woman was. If he had the chance, Jiang Lin would definitely chop off her head himself to make sure she was dead.

"The cold poison of this evildoer has penetrated too deeply into the mage's body. The Tianquan Pool cannot expel it completely in a short time. The fastest way is to exchange the blood that this evildoer has swallowed for the mage's blood."

Fairy Peony's voice was still gentle, but her words were full of cruelty: "Now, this monster is just a blood bank for the mage to recover as quickly as possible."

"Logically speaking, we shouldn't let this evildoer soak in the Heavenly Spring Pool. Xiaoxian and the others will have to clean up afterwards. But Ling Xiao has issued an order saying that this evildoer's life is still useful, so we must let her live."

Because of his identity as a descendant of Kunpeng?

Jiang Lin frowned and thought to himself.

No, it’s probably not because of this. If it was just the identity of being a descendant of Kunpeng, it would not be enough to save Kui’s life.

This time, Heaven is determined to wipe out all the demons, and even Kunpeng himself is probably on Ziwei Emperor's kill list.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it was because Kui was a descendant of Kunpeng that he was able to survive.

After all, it is common sense that those with great supernatural powers will not die unless they endure countless calamities. Even if the demon clan of Uttarakuru were completely wiped out, Kunpeng would not die. At most, he would be exiled or sink, but the two sides did not completely fall out.

But this is not the case from Jiang Lin’s perspective.

He had already killed one of the great masters thoroughly...

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi knew this, and Zi Wei Emperor naturally knew it as well. Jiang Lin was also confident that Zi Wei Emperor would definitely have a way to send Kun Peng to his butcher knife.

So, if Aoi didn't survive because of his bloodline, what else could it be?
Jiang Lin was a little confused for a moment, but since it was Ling Xiao's decree, then the Emperor must also know about it. Well, since it was the Emperor's arrangement, there must be a purpose for it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin stopped worrying about it.

At this moment, the voice of the Peony Fairy rang in my ears.

"Master, if you are ready, I will give you a blood transfusion now."
