Chapter 392 Opportunity
"Not good, this second one consumes more spiritual energy."
Lin Chuan was shocked and a serious look appeared on his face.
He could clearly feel that the spiritual power in his body was rapidly dissipating, so he decisively stopped his movements and gave up on drawing the second stroke.
"It's okay. Being able to paint a single stroke is already impressive."
Seeing that Lin Chuan did not try to be stubborn, Li Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She comforted him and handed him the spiritual energy-replenishing pill that she had prepared long ago.
After taking the pill, the two stood side by side, staring at the black lotus at the bottom of the magma sea.
It was rubbing against the rune in the air. Under the reflection of the boiling magma, the last petal of the black lotus trembled slightly, and the rune also emitted a dim light.
"Susu."
Finally, when the rune was about to dissipate, the last petal of the black lotus fell.
However, at this moment, the originally calm magma sea began to churn violently, bubbles continued to burst, and a deafening roar was emitted.
At the same time, a blinding light shot up from the bottom of the sea, and a huge phoenix shadow slowly emerged in the air, with blazing flames all around it and an astonishing momentum.
"Walk."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Yue's pretty face suddenly changed. She stretched out her arms without hesitation, picked up Lin Chuan, and retreated rapidly behind her.
"Chirp!"
A sharp sound suddenly rang out, and Li Yue's heart tightened. Before she could react further, she clearly felt a breath of decay approaching from behind her at a rapid speed.
"Oh no! How did this damn beast throw the lotus heart over here?"
Li Yue frowned, and without thinking too much, she was about to throw Lin Chuan out of her arms and planned to stay and resist alone.
But at this moment, Lin Chuan was one step ahead of her, suddenly broke free from her arms, turned around quickly and stood behind her.
Li Yue subconsciously reached out to pull Lin Chuan back, but she was still one step short. The lotus heart went straight through Lin Chuan's layers of defense and hit his body.
"Kobayashi Chuan!"
Li Yue exclaimed and hugged Lin Chuan tightly in her arms regardless of everything.
The lotus heart had already penetrated into Lin Chuan's body. His skin lost its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning a strange bluish-gray color, and his body was constantly decaying.
"You'd better let him go, otherwise, you will be corrupted by this lotus heart as well."
A cold voice came without warning. Li Yue subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a woman appear at the place where the phoenix shadow was originally located.
Blazing flames surrounded her, and the dancing flames completely obscured her face.
"You beast, return my husband's life to me!"
Li Yue gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening. In an instant, the shadow of a willow tree suddenly appeared behind her, its branches and leaves dancing wildly. Countless willow branches, filled with tremendous anger, attacked the woman with lightning speed.
"The corrupt power of this lotus heart has been greatly reduced now. This may be a great opportunity for him."
The woman spoke slowly and the willow branches that attacked her turned into ashes as soon as they touched the flames on her body.
"Opportunity? Then I will give you an opportunity today, so please accept it."
A cold smile appeared on Li Yue's face. As soon as she finished speaking, the virtual image of the willow tree behind her seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to slowly fall apart.
"..."
The woman's eyelids twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, she spoke with a hint of urgency in her tone, "He may not die."
"..."
Li Yue's movements suddenly stopped, and the willow tree shadow, which was originally falling apart at an accelerating speed, also paused briefly.
"You'd better explain why."
She gently put Lin Chuan down from her arms, then walked up to the woman and said with gritted teeth.
"I sensed from him an aura similar to the Nirvana method of our Phoenix Clan."
The woman's gaze fell on the weak Lin Chuan, her expression complicated. "Looking at his current condition, he's not yet able to use the Nirvana Method. But under the pressure of that Lotus Heart, he should be able to learn and master it."
"What if he can't control it?"
Li Yue's eyes were as cold as ice as she stared at the woman, her words full of doubt and vigilance.
"That means I've made a mistake. Let's die together."
The woman's voice was calm, without any ripples.
"Then you can just die first."
Li Yue's eyebrows were raised, and a cold smile was on her face.
"Why not wait and see? Don't you trust him? If I disappear now, this place will be destroyed. Judging from the current situation, he will definitely die."
The woman's tone was calm and emotionless, but the threat in her words was clearly discernible.
"..."
"You'd better pray that my husband is safe."
……
As soon as the lotus heart entered his body, Lin Chuan instantly felt a surge of decaying aura coming at him, which spread all over his body in the blink of an eye.
Both his cultivation and his physical body were quickly reduced to nothingness under the erosion of this decaying aura.
But this feeling made Lin Chuan feel vaguely familiar.
"Yin becomes Yang, Yang becomes Yin, the way of Yin and Yang is reversed!"
Just when the decayed aura was about to completely submerge Lin Chuan, an extremely powerful vitality burst out from Lin Chuan's dantian, like a scorching sun bursting out, and instantly swallowed up the decayed aura completely.
"Kobayashi Chuan!"
Seeing Lin Chuan's movement, Li Yue's heart suddenly tightened, and she rushed over and hugged him in her arms.
"Put yourself in a desperate situation and then survive..."
A flash of realization flashed across Lin Chuan's eyes.
Then, he looked at Li Yue, who was hugging him and sobbing softly, and said in a soft and soothing voice, "Sister Li, be good. Not only am I fine, I've even broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
"You are such a bad man. You always try to be a hero and make me sad. I hate you."
Li Yue scolded him with tears in her eyes, but she hugged him tighter with her hands, as if she wanted to rub the person in front of her into her body.
"Not next time."
Lin Chuan patted her back gently, again and again, his movements gentle and full of comfort.
However, at this moment, the woman's voice sounded slowly, breaking the warm atmosphere between the two.
"Can I make a deal with you?" She looked at Lin Chuan calmly.
"If you try to hit on him again, I'll burn you down with me."
Li Yue suddenly let go of Lin Chuan and quickly stood in front of him, staring at the woman with murderous intent.
"..."
The woman did not respond when she heard this, but her gaze was still fixed on Lin Chuan.
"We can discuss the transaction later. Before that, I want to give you a gift."
Lin Chuan slowly stood up and walked to Li Yue's side. He raised his arm slightly, and a lotus with black and white petals intertwined quietly emerged in his palm.
