Chapter 990: Not Deserving of This

Lan Xinyao was struck by lightning and looked at Su Yichen's departing back in disbelief.

His words were like a sharp blade, cutting her heart one by one.

Risk your life to accompany a gentleman?

Try your best?

It's all lies!

He was clearly just trying to save his own life!

Lan Xinyao couldn't help but let out a sad laugh, "Is this the proud son of heaven who always claimed that he liked her? Haha..."

Lan Xinyao looked at the man who had been so attentive to her and disappeared from her sight without looking back.

Despair overwhelmed her like a tide.

At this moment, the pain in her body brought her back to her senses.

She couldn't help but look at the other people, and a glimmer of hope was rekindled in her heart.

"Wei Feng... Zhong Yan... please... help me... I will definitely reward you handsomely!" Lan Xinyao stretched out her hand with difficulty and asked Wei Feng and others for help.

Her voice was hoarse and weak, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Wei Feng looked at the scene in front of him, and a trace of wariness and fear flashed in his eyes.

How could they dare to try the power of inheritance that even Su Yichen didn't dare to touch?

“Fairy Lan, you…you should take care of yourself…” Wei Feng’s eyes flickered. He didn’t dare to look directly into Lan Xinyao’s pleading eyes. He responded vaguely and turned away in a hurry.

Seeing this, others followed suit, found an excuse, and ran away.

"I... I can give you a lot of cultivation resources... as long as you help me..." Lan Xinyao continued to beg unwillingly, but the only response she got was endless silence.

Soon, the valley, which was originally quite lively, was left with only Lan Xinyao, Ye Tianming, Yun Manyao, and Su Yao.

Yun Manyao looked at Lan Xinyao, her eyes full of sympathy and pity.

Su Yao's face was full of disgust and contempt.

She snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Some people deserve it! They were close to them before and targeted Mr. Ye in various ways. Now, they are kicked away, right? They really deserve it!"

Ye Tianming frowned, looking at Lan Xinyao's painful expression, feeling mixed emotions.

Although he had no friendship with Lan Xinyao, he couldn't help feeling a little sorry for her when he saw her in this state.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you...are you okay?"

Lan Xinyao was completely desperate at this moment. She smiled miserably, her laughter full of bitterness and self-mockery: "Good? Haha... What good do I have now? Everything I have been pursuing, in the end, is nothing but a joke..."

Previously, for the sake of inheritance, she took advantage of the situation and eliminated Ye Tianming from the hall.

But I didn't expect that things would change.

Now, she is alone and her life and death are uncertain.

If no one helps her inherit the power, she will probably die here.

Lan Xinyao's voice became lower and lower, until in the end, only the sound of her breathing remained.

Despair was like a huge net that wrapped her tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

At this moment, Ye Tianming, who had been silent, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lan Xinyao with a complicated look, as if he was making a difficult decision.

"Mr. Ye, you wouldn't..." Su Yao widened her eyes and looked at Ye Tianming in disbelief.

Yun Manyao also pulled Ye Tianming's sleeve with concern, and gently advised: "Ye Tianming, don't be impulsive, your current physical condition..."

Ye Tianming gently patted the back of Yun Manyao's hand, signaling her to be at ease.

He took a deep breath, looked at Lan Xinyao firmly, and said in a deep voice: "I can help you."

"what?!"

Ye Tianming's words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere, exploding in the ears of the three women.

Su Yao even took a half step back and looked at Ye Tianming in disbelief: "Mr. Ye, are you crazy? You are injured like this, and you still want to help her? You will die!"

Although Yun Manyao didn't say anything, her eyes were full of worry and confusion when she looked at Ye Tianming.

Lan Xinyao was even more stunned. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she never expected that Ye Tianming would stand up to help her.

This man, whom she had repeatedly looked down upon and even eliminated by her, was now willing to risk his life to save her?

"Why... do you want to help me?" Lan Xinyao's voice trembled, her eyes full of confusion.

Ye Tianming did not answer her question, but said calmly: "You should know what will happen to you if no one helps you inherit the power of inheritance. So, do you need my help?"

Of course Lan Xinyao knew that the power of inheritance was extremely violent. If no one took it over, the person would eventually explode and die.

"But... you have been injured so badly..." Lan Xinyao's voice became smaller and smaller, but an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

"This is not something you should worry about. You just need to answer, yes or no." Ye Tianming's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

Lan Xinyao nodded quickly.

She could hardly bear it any longer.

If she continues like this, she will explode and die.

"Ye Tianming, you are crazy! You will die like this!" Yun Manyao nervously grabbed Ye Tianming's arm, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Ye Tianming quietly pried open Yun Manyao's fingers.

He looked at Lan Xinyao and said word by word: "The Kunpeng inheritance should not be buried like this."

After saying that, regardless of the two women's attempts to stop him, Ye Tianming walked straight towards Lan Xinyao, and then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, he slowly placed his palm on her heart.

"Come on, direct your excess strength toward me."

Lan Xinyao only felt a powerful suction force coming from Ye Tianming's palm, and the inherited power in her body seemed to have found an outlet, rushing into his meridians and body along Ye Tianming's palm.

Ye Tianming groaned and his face turned pale in an instant.

This force was too strong, several times stronger than he had imagined, as if it was going to burst his body.

His meridians were breaking apart inch by inch, and blood was flowing out from the corners of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

"Ye Tianming!"

"Tianming!"

Su Yao and Yun Manyao screamed and tried to move forward, but were bounced back by an invisible force. They staggered back and fell to the ground.

"Don't come over! Stay away from me and don't get affected!" Ye Tianming said in a hoarse and urgent voice.

The two women were already seriously injured and extremely weak.

Now this violent force makes it impossible for them to get close at all.

As more and more power surrounded Ye Tianming and Lan Xinyao, their skin began to crack, obviously affected by the power.

Faced with this situation, they could only watch helplessly, anxious but helpless.

The terrifying power of that force was so great that they couldn't even get close, let alone help.

Ye Tianming's body was shaking violently, his veins bulging, wriggling under his skin like dragons, and his bones were making crackling sounds, as if they would break at any time.

"what--!"

Ye Tianming roared to the sky, his voice filled with pain.
