Primordial Qi

It was hard to see clearly in the distance, so Gu Chenyu threw in a few glowing spiritual stones, which fortunately fell to the bottom. I thought the bottom should not be bottomless, but it was dark inside, so I couldn't see clearly below.

After a leap into the air, Gu Chenyu finally descended slowly with the rope. When he landed on the ground, it was covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had been here for many years.

"Son, a visitor has arrived. Go to sleep first and let me, an old woman, go meet him."

An extremely old voice was heard, and a white-haired old woman appeared beside the cold jade bed, leaning against the bed motionless. Gu Chenyu went forward to take a look and saw it clearly.

Huge fires rose up all around, illuminating the inside. On the cold jade bed that gave off an icy aura lay a man in white, and next to him was a shriveled old woman chanting softly, like a nursery rhyme from childhood.

Oh my god, this is a bit like the appearance of a boss in a game. Gu Chenyu felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he was unlucky. He should not have come down earlier.

"Um, that old lady, is it too late for me to leave now?" Gu Chenyu said awkwardly.

"Go? Where to? Hell?" the old woman said grimly with a very creepy smile.

Gu Chenyu swallowed his saliva. This old woman was very oppressive. Just by standing up slightly, she brought a terrifying pressure to the surroundings. This cave was like an altar, and the person lying on the cold jade bed was in the center of the altar.

"I have been here for more than a hundred years and have never left, guarding my son's body. But I didn't expect that outsiders like you would break in. Now that you are here, just stay here." The old woman said softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the man lying on the cold jade bed.

The old woman gently waved her palm, and Gu Chenyu felt that time slowed down. Only the palm full of spiritual power flew towards him lightly, and he didn't even have time to dodge.

All he could do was cross his arms to block the attack. With a bang, Gu Chenyu was hit into the rock wall, causing dust to roll. The old woman no longer looked at him, but slowly half-leaned beside the cold jade bed. With the attack of the celestial being, there was no chance of survival for that man.

The old woman who was about to touch Su Wuqi's face was surprised to find that the man was not dead and rushed out of here at an extremely fast speed.

The old woman did not choose to chase, but said to herself: "I am old, my eyes are dim, and I can't kill a fly with one slap. But it doesn't matter, I will revive you soon... But I am afraid that the night will be long and dreams will arise, so I'd better go out for a while."

Gu Chenyu vomited blood, his meridians were broken, and he forced the runes to escape. He used two runes at once, and his speed could reach the level of Venerable. He originally thought that he was doomed, but the runes seemed to have intelligence and automatically protected his body, allowing him to escape, but his cultivation was ruined.

Gu Chenyu panicked and ran for his life, and actually ran all the way to the place where Gu Qingxue and the others were fighting. He saw Gu Qingxue fighting one against three, and there were many sword marks on her body. It seemed that she was in a very bad situation and might be dragged to death here.

"Well, I may not have much time left, so let me exchange my life for yours. After coming to this world, this is not a cowardly way to die."

Gu Chenyu's eyes were red and he no longer suppressed his injuries. He felt that his heart meridians had been broken and he might not have much time left, otherwise why would he keep vomiting blood.

The Venerable's power exploded, and Gu Chenyu succeeded in a sneak attack, punching through one person's back with one palm, and directly injuring him. But this blow also made his strength dissipate, as if he would fall down at any time. He forced himself to stay awake, the power of the rune was still there, he had to kill or seriously injure at least one more person to make it possible for Gu Qingxue to escape.

"puff."

Gu Chenyu widened his eyes in disbelief. He was hit in the abdomen by a palm strike, and the Qi in his Dantian was dispersed. The true Qi he had practiced hard also gradually left his body. Without hesitation, he used the power of the rune to poke pierce the man's eyes with one finger, and then he lost his strength and fell from the air.

“Maybe, this is the end.”

Gu Qingxue's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. This man had spared no expense to save her. He must have been seriously injured and unconscious at this moment.

She hurriedly flew over and picked up Gu Chenyu. Before his consciousness faded, Gu Chenyu threw out the last dozen or so Heavenly Thunder Talismans, spitting out blood and said, "I can't live anymore, you go by yourself." After that, he fainted completely.

With tears in her eyes, Gu Qingxue chose to leave with Gu Chenyu.

"You can't leave."

A majestic voice came from between heaven and earth. It was the old woman underground. She had disheveled hair and didn't care about her image at all. She was going to kill the two men.

Spiritual power rose around Gu Qingxue, and her black hair gradually turned white, as if she was being eroded by the law of time.

The power of a celestial being exploded, and Gu Qingxue killed those venerables and masters with one sword. Her terrifying strength was unquestionable. She was a celestial being, and even when facing this old woman, she had absolute confidence.

"Tide." Gu Qingxue shouted loudly, and the surrounding area suddenly became extremely heavy. The terrifying pressure made the old woman unable to move. The power of the Haoyue Sect's unique skills and rules suppressed the old woman so that she could not move for a while.

"Sword fall!"

A blast of extremely cold sword energy was directed at the old woman. If it hit her, she would definitely die. But the old woman actually dodged the attack in an extremely strange way.

"One of the laws of time is time stop." Gu Qingxue was experienced and he saw the power of his law at a glance, but he was not surprised. Instead, he showed confidence.

"Frost." The world seemed to be frozen, and time slowed down. The laws and magical powers she comprehended could just slow down a person's movements, or even freeze a person's movements.

"Congeal."

This time the old woman didn't react in time and was frozen into an ice sculpture. The sword fell again and turned her into ice powder with one sword.

Unfortunately, the old woman still managed to escape using the strange laws of time, but she was definitely seriously injured.

Gu Qingxue took Gu Chenyu away, and no one knew where they went. They found a cave in the shortest time. Her hair was now completely white, and her face had become old. In the end, she even dispersed her internal energy to save her life.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, not daring to look at her old face. She could feel the fingerprints on her face that looked like tree bark. Gu Chenyu slowly woke up. He took out the two Three Souls Life-Sustaining Pills from his storage bag and swallowed them. It was a pity that he didn't have the third one, otherwise, he would definitely take it.

"Why do this?" Gu Chenyu said. He saw Gu Qingxue's power dissipating and his face suddenly becoming old.

"Then why did you do this?" Gu Qingxue asked back. She didn't know why this man could save her at the risk of his own life.

"I encountered a great terror and was seriously injured. I am already dying. I saved you just to play my last role." Gu Chenyu said bitterly. The Three Souls Life-Renewing Pill made his mind stable. He was conscious and could feel the pain from various parts of his body.

"I ignited my spiritual power before that old woman came, but unfortunately I didn't kill her." Gu Qingxue said regretfully.

"You two useless guys can only wait to die here." Gu Chenyu said weakly. He took out his storage bag and poured out all the contents.

Gu Qingxue had no desire to live. Her old face was too ugly to be seen by others and she had no idea how long she would live. She just wanted to spend the rest of her life here.

She walked slowly to Gu Chenyu's side, slowly searching for the magic weapons, Dantian, and talismans scattered on the ground. Finally, she found the Xuanyu Duanxu Ointment.

"You can use this thing." Gu Qingxue had a blank expression on her face. She might have the intention to die, but before that, she would choose to save Gu Chenyu.

"It's troublesome."

Gu Qingxue slowly took off Gu Chenyu's clothes and wiped his body. Gu Chenyu's muscles were distinct and the lines were obvious. There was a black palm print on his abdomen, and his dantian was shattered by this palm.

"I have a pill here, called the Yin-Yang Breaking and Standing Pill, which has the miraculous effect of bringing one back to life after being in a desperate situation." Gu Qingxue took out a pill and fed it directly to Gu Chenyu. It was useless for her to hold it.

"I don't know if this pill is useful. It may be useful, but it may not be useful because it takes years of accumulation to have an explosive effect. Combined with the Xuanyu Intermittent Ointment, whether you can survive depends on fate."

Gu Chenyu nodded. He no longer had any strength left. He let Gu Qingxue wipe his body clean and then apply the Xuanyu Duanxu Ointment on it. He was bandaged tightly, leaving only his mouth and nose exposed.

Gu Qingxue's eyes were dazed, as if these things were extremely stressful and she actually felt tired.

The cave the two were in was very large, and they didn't know if it was the lair of some spiritual beast, or some natural wonder. They had no skills to think about these things.

Gu Qingxue closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep. This battle was too brutal.
