Chapter 985 Unable to Fight Back

Amid the deafening roar, golden and blood-red light rolled like boiling magma, casting a doomsday atmosphere over the entire hall.

Lan Xinyao gritted her teeth and tried her best to maintain the spiritual barrier, but her body couldn't stop shaking.

Even she didn't dare to touch the aftermath of such a battle easily.

After an unknown amount of time, the light gradually faded away and the scene inside the hall finally returned to view.

Ye Tianming was seen half-kneeling on the ground, his clothes ragged, with shocking blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. His originally handsome face was now pale, but he clenched his fists tightly, with a crazy fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Su Yichen was not much better off. His once invincible body of a God King was now covered with fine cracks, like broken porcelain. Golden blood oozed out from the cracks, turning him into a bloody man.

He stood there staggering, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"How...how is it possible..." Su Yichen said in a hoarse voice.

He couldn't believe that he was forced into such a desperate situation by a guy he had always regarded as an ant.

Ye Tianming slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled coldly: "Young Master Su, you seem to have forgotten one thing, I am a doctor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver light flashed in Ye Tianming's hand, and several silver needles shot towards Su Yichen like lightning.

Su Yichen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he wanted to dodge, but found that he was unable to move at all.

Although the God King's body is strong, he is already at the end of his strength at this moment. How can he avoid this sudden attack?

"Puff puff!"

The silver needles accurately pierced several acupuncture points of Su Yichen, and the already shaky body of the God King collapsed instantly.

Su Yichen let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground with a bang.

"You..." Su Yichen stared at Ye Tianming with resentful eyes, wishing he could blow himself up and destroy Ye Tianming.

He never thought that he would be defeated so completely by a little guy whom he never took seriously!

"The winner takes it all, and you're the king. Goodbye, Mr. Su!" Ye Tianming sneered and stared quietly at Su Yichen, who was so angry that he vomited blood.

Although he won, he didn't feel relieved.

His condition was extremely bad. Although the blood sacrifice to Kunpeng was powerful, the backlash was equally terrifying. He was already struggling to be able to stand and talk.

At this moment, the stone platform in the center of the hall suddenly burst into dazzling light, and an invisible force enveloped Su Yichen.

The next moment, Su Yichen's figure disappeared.

"Failed the trial, expelled from the secret realm!"

The cold voice echoed in the hall, announcing Su Yichen's end.

Ye Tianming looked at the place where Su Yichen disappeared. There was no mercy in his eyes, only endless coldness.

"Cough cough..." Ye Tianming coughed violently, blood continuously gushing out from the corners of his mouth. His body had reached its limit.

The hall was dead silent, with only Ye Tianming's heavy breathing echoing.

He struggled to support his body and felt every bone groaning.

The backlash of the blood sacrifice to Kunpeng was far more terrifying than he had imagined. At this moment, his spiritual power was exhausted, his meridians were broken, and even standing became a luxury.

He smiled bitterly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Lan Xinyao not far away.

Lan Xinyao's condition is much better than his.

Bing Xin's exquisite body is a top-notch physique for cultivation. At this moment, her breath is steady, her clothes are neat, and even her hair is not the slightest bit messy. She is like a fairy from the sky, untainted by the mundane world.

"Ye Tianming, you are very strong." Lan Xinyao's voice was cold and contained a hint of complicated emotions. "I thought that with Su Yichen's strength, he could easily defeat you, but I didn't expect..."

"But you didn't expect that he would be defeated so completely, right?" Ye Tianming laughed at himself.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Fairy Blue for showing mercy before, otherwise, I would be the one lying on the ground right now."

Lan Xinyao and Su Yichen have a close relationship, but during the battle just now, Lan Xinyao never helped Su Yichen.

This alone made Ye Tianming feel more respect for him.

But the fight for inheritance is really cruel.

They will eventually face such a choice.

Lan Xinyao remained silent, just looking at him quietly, with an inexplicable light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Ye Tianming took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood in his body, and said coldly: "Why, Fairy Lan is going to attack me?"

"You are very smart and understand your current situation." Lan Xinyao said calmly, "I need that inheritance, and you are the only obstacle."

"So, you want to kill me?"

"I am not a bloodthirsty person." Lan Xinyao frowned slightly, "But for the sake of inheritance, I have to do this."

"Don't worry, I'm not an ungrateful person. This time, just think of it as me owing you a favor, and I will repay you in the future."

Ye Tianming couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Repay? How to repay? Set up a monument for me and burn some paper money during festivals?"

Lan Xinyao didn't say anything, but slowly raised her jade hand, and a terrifying chill instantly filled the entire hall.

"Ye Tianming, I will give you one last chance. If you withdraw from the inheritance competition, I can give you a quick death."

Ye Tianming closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination.

"If you want my life, come and take it yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly burned his blood and essence, transformed into a blood-red lightning, and rushed towards Lan Xinyao.

"You are so stubborn!" Lan Xinyao snorted coldly, and with a wave of her jade hand, an ice wall instantly appeared in front of Ye Tianming.

"boom!"

The blood-red lightning struck the ice wall with a deafening roar, and the entire hall began to tremble violently.

Ye Tianming was pushed back several steps, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth again, but he didn't care. Instead, his eyes were burning with an even crazier fighting spirit.

He knew that he might be in great danger today, but he would never sit there and wait for death!

"Come on, Lan Xinyao, let me see how strong your Bingxin exquisite body is!"

Ye Tianming roared wildly and rushed towards Lan Xinyao again.

This time, he did not choose to fight head-on, but used his flexible body to shuttle between the ice walls, looking for Lan Xinyao's flaws.

Lan Xinyao obviously did not expect that Ye Tianming could still burst out with such powerful strength despite being so seriously injured. For a while, she was forced to retreat repeatedly by him.

However, although Ye Tianming's attack was fierce, it was ultimately just a spent force. As time went on, his movements became slower and slower, and his breath became weaker and weaker.

"It's over, Ye Tianming!"

Lan Xinyao seized a flaw in Ye Tianming, and her jade hand reached out like lightning, accurately grabbing his throat.

"Cough cough..."

Ye Tianming's breathing suddenly stagnated, his face turned red, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

Is he really going to fail at this final moment?
