Ancient Taoist Sovereign - C188

“Quickly, swallow the Xuan Yuan Blood Lotus Pill.”

Chu Ling, “…”

Chu Ling was speechless for a while. Even though he still wanted to drive Li Yanrong away, seeing that his decision had been made, saying too much would not have the slightest effect.

Moreover, if he continued to persevere, he would most likely slow down their speed and most likely die even faster. It would be better for him to quickly recover from his injuries.

When Chu Ling thought of this, he immediately swallowed the Pill in Li Yanrong’s hands. He didn’t know why, but even though the Profound Origin Blood Lotus Pill was in his possession, the effect of the Pill that passed through Li Yanrong’s hands was evidently much better.

Bang!

Just as Chu Ling was using all of his strength to treat the injuries on his body, a black shadow quickly streaked past above his head and landed heavily not far from the two of them. It smashed a huge crater into the ground, causing a loud sound.

Chu Ling only glanced at it once before immediately making Li Yanrong run in another direction. He did not care about Kong Puzhi who was trapped in the pit at all, and only kept giving orders to Kong Puzhi to fight to the death in his heart.

Originally, Kong Puzhi had had the thought of deliberately letting the Guardian Sword Wood Puppet kill Chu Ling, so when they were fighting previously, he had been sent flying with one slash from the Guardian Sword Wood Puppet.

Chu Ling knew that although there was a gap between the two of them in terms of strength, it was not to that extent.

As a result, even though the Chu Ling from before didn’t have enough time to ponder, he had already reacted to it. Adding to the fact that he didn’t have the slightest good impression of Kong Puzhi, he had the thought of using Kong Puzhi’s life to buy time for himself.

Under Kong Puzhi’s delay, the two of them continued to chase for half a day.

Although Chu Ling’s injuries looked severe before, they were clearly slightly recovered now. Therefore, when Li Yanrong was a little tired, he was already able to pull Li Yanrong and run together.

Although the situation was in a deadlock, with Chu Ling’s Spiritual Energy s that could never be exhausted, the Guardian Sword Wood Puppet was unable to do anything to Chu Ling.

But just as Chu Ling was about to see Li Yanrong swallow a few pieces of Pill that were recovering and just barely catching his breath, his heart suddenly jumped, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.

Chu Ling’s footsteps immediately paused, and without any intention to explain, he ran in another direction.

However, before he could even run a few steps, a woman in a blue palace dress jumped off a giant tree.

“Chu Ling, where do you think you can run to?”

The lady dressed in blue palace attire was naturally Nangong Qing, who had already been in contact with Chu Ling for a long time.

Only, what Chu Ling didn’t understand was that the originally insignificant Nangong Qing, who was only at the eighth level of Vein Opening Stage, was actually emitting an aura of Ninth Level of Vein Opening Stage, one that was on the verge of breaking through its limits.

Originally, Chu Ling had wanted to kill him with a single sword strike and escape, but he didn’t have the slightest confidence now, so he had to take a detour during his slight hesitation.

However, the moment he turned around, a sword light flashed by his waist, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

“The Path of Hua!” Chu Ling clenched his teeth and said.

Although he didn’t have the time to clearly see the person in front of him, he knew clearly that the person who could grasp the perfect timing to assassinate him must be the path of the Hua Deity, who had already attempted to assassinate him once.

As a result, when Chu Ling had gritted his teeth at that time, not only did he not dodge, he even took the initiative to face it head on.

After all, Chu Ling knew that as long as he dodged it, this Path of China would immediately change its target and assassinate Li Yanrong.

“Stone Armour!”

Chu Ling growled, and then, in just an instant, a huge force charged towards Chu Ling’s waist. Even though it had pierced through his stone armor, it caused Chu Ling’s body to fly backwards.

And in that moment, Chu Ling who was not willing to be taken advantage of, shook his sleeves, and the formless sword fell into his hands, transforming into a Dragon Marked Sword, he handed it over to Chu Ling along with his arm.

“Raindrop Instantaneous Piercing Stone!”

What he never expected was that in that instant, an even more immense force rushed towards Chu Ling’s arm, causing his body to fly backwards without any pause. It was only after he had smashed several tall ancient trees that he managed to stabilize his body a little.

“Chu Ling, how is it?” As Hua Shen Du spoke, his figure slowly appeared in front of Chu Ling. Although he had a stern expression on his face, Chu Ling could see the ridicule in his eyes.

Of course, what surprised Chu Ling the most was that Hua Shen Du’s cultivation was actually the same as Nangong Qing’s, as he had already reached the ninth stage of the Heaven Understanding Stage, looking as though he could enter it at any time.

Even though the Chu Ling back then was shocked, he was also deeply aware of his current situation. Thus, he immediately strode forward, returned to Li Yanrong’s side, and hugged her as he walked in another direction.

But just as he took a step forward, two sneers came from the forest, followed by two black clothed men appearing in front of Chu Ling, completely blocking his retreat path.

As for the cultivation auras of the two black clothed men, they were even stronger than Nangong Qing and Nangong Qing. This made it difficult for Chu Ling to tell whether they were Heaven Understanding Stage cultivators or not.

Therefore, if Chu Ling wanted to escape now, he could either defeat the four of them or turn around and clash with the Sword Wood Puppet. However, no matter which one he chose, it would be no different from courting death.

naturally did not think that the four in front of him were only here to meet with him, or to help him block the Sword Wood Puppet.

Furthermore, if not for the Sword Wood Puppet’s abnormally low intelligence, Chu Ling would have suspected that they were working together to capture him.

“Chu Ling, I will ask you this now. Are you the one who handed over the Pill Furnace to us first, and then tell us about the Pill Furnace?

“You better think carefully. Right now, you are not alone, I wanted her to threaten you before, but today is just perfect!” Nangong Qing said with a slight smile. The meaning in his words was very clear, and that was that he wanted to tell Chu Ling.

They could either hand over the Pill Furnace honestly, and then explain the secrets of the Green Wood Pill Furnace to them, or even tell them the secrets of the altar to the best of their abilities.

Or they would use Li Yanrong to threaten him.

However, what they didn’t expect was that even Chu Ling himself didn’t know the exact connection between the altar and the Pill Furnace, so it was impossible for Chu Ling to explain everything clearly.

As for Li Yanrong …

As Chu Ling thought about it, when he heard that the Guardian Sword Wood Puppet was going to rush over recklessly, he only thought about it a little.

The Guardian Sword Wood Puppet’s target was himself, so during this day, it had had many chances to kill Kong Puzhi, but none of them were confident, and recklessly rushed towards him.

Therefore, in Chu Ling’s opinion, perhaps, in order to send Li Yanrong out, the only direction was the direction of the Guardian Sword Wood Puppet.

With that thought in mind, Chu Ling’s expression became serious. After ordering Kong Puzhi to protect Li Yanrong, he laughed at Li Yanrong, and before Li Yanrong could react, he directly pushed Li Yanrong out towards the Guardian Sword Wood Puppet.

But right at that moment, Li Yanrong’s body flew out, but what Chu Ling never expected was, the Guardian Sword Wood Puppet did not continue to pounce at him, but instead cheered out, and instantly pounced at Li Yanrong.

In an instant, Chu Ling came to a sudden realization that it seemed that he had always been wrong.

The Guardian Sword Wood Puppet had always wanted him.

It was Li Yanrong!
