Chapter 77: Netherworld Coffin Girl

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

… After an unknown period of time, Pei Ling felt that his throat was almost hoarse from shouting. Suddenly, all the numbness and pain disappeared.

In its place was an unprecedented sense of ease.

!!
It was as if he was soaked in cool spring water. From head to toe, he felt refreshed after a long journey.

“Junior Brother Pei is at the sixth level of Qi Refinement!” Not far away, Fang Ji saw it clearly and could not help but say in surprise, “The Cold Marrow Fire is indeed an eighth-grade immortal fire!”

Ouyang Xianxing could not help but smile.

However, at this moment, a blue light suddenly flashed around Pei Ling. Immediately, the azure halo that had just disappeared reappeared, but it was much fainter than before.

After it appeared, it ignited Pei Ling’s body without hesitation!

Ouyang Xianxing subconsciously held her breath.

This was the last step of the Fire Receiving Art. Under normal circumstances, this was the easiest step to pass.

Some people even bypassed this level.

This was because their absorption of fire into the body had completely ended, and the portion of the immortal fire that the body could not contain had dissipated. If a cultivator with a high cultivation level or a very strong body could completely devour the immortal fire, the absorption of fire into the body would end here.

The problem was that Pei Ling’s cultivation level was too low, and the quality of this Cold Marrow Fire was too high.

Even if Ouyang Xianxing weakened it again and again, with Pei Ling’s fifth-stage Qi Refinement body, he was still far from being able to completely absorb it.

As a result, there was more Cold Marrow Fire left than expected.

At this moment, it seeped out of Pei Ling’s body and chose to burn his body.

This was the fire source’s final counterattack.

If Pei Ling could not survive this, he would still be reduced to ashes!

Ouyang Xianxing looked at her junior brother who was still unmoved by the flames and suppressed the admiration in her heart. Just as she was about to instruct Fang Ji to use a spell to treat him, a dream-like phantom flashed outside the array and instantly appeared beside Xue Ying.

“Branch Master Miao?!” Xue Ying could barely speak. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the person was tall and rough. He could not help but be overjoyed.

He had hoped that the Clear River Faction would send someone over. He did not expect Miao Chengyang to come personally!

At this moment, Xue Ying cried tears of joy.

However, after Miao Chengyang appeared, he did not pay attention to him immediately. Instead, he looked into the trapping array solemnly. Is the Cold Marrow Fire really for this kid?

Although Miao Chengyang knew from Xue Ying’s letter that Zheng Jingshan wanted to obtain the Cold Marrow Fire for Pei Ling, in his opinion, it was very likely a ruse. Someone else should be the one to absorb the fire.

After all, a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refinement… No!

Miao Chengyang’s gaze froze as he stared at Pei Ling. Surprise flashed across his eyes. Sixth level of Qi Refinement?

How could it be so fast!

“Who is it?” At this moment, Ouyang Xianxing saw the figure beside Xue Ying in a flash. She could not help but be shocked. With a thought, the Bone Flower that was binding Xue Ying instantly fell and turned into a bone chain that wrapped around Miao Chengyang.

Miao Chengyang came back to his senses and tilted his head slightly. A bloody light flashed in his eyes, and the originally aggressive white bone chain fell weakly as if it had been struck by lightning, instantly returning to Xue Ying’s body.

At the same time, in the trapping array, Ouyang Xianxing blacked out and spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Senior Sister?” Fang Ji’s attention was on Pei Ling. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. He turned around and was shocked. “Branch Master Miao?!”

“Branch Master Miao, as one of the dignified 13 inner sect Branch Masters, are you here to compete with us ordinary disciples for the Cold Marrow Fire?” After Ouyang Xianxing vomited blood, her originally pale face became more and more lifeless. She stuffed the bone dagger back into the black coffin, grabbed a few chains, and said in a low voice, “Isn’t it a little despicable?”

Then she quickly sent a voice transmission to Fang Ji. “I’ll stop him later. Take Junior Brother Pei away!”

“…” Fang Ji’s eyes flickered, but he did not answer immediately.

Ouyang Xianxing did not have the time to care about him at the moment. She looked at Miao Chengyang warily. The black coffin behind her trembled slightly, and the thing in the coffin seemed to be breaking out at any moment.

“Ouyang Xianxing.” Miao Chengyang looked at her indifferently, but he did not have the intention to attack immediately. He said, “Your Netherworld Coffin Girl has not been nurtured for sixty years. Once you use it, there will be an additional possibility of being replaced by your twin sister in the future. Do you really want to risk your life for an outer sect disciple who has just entered the sect?”

“There’s no need to say anything more, Branch Master.” Ouyang Xianxing snorted coldly. With a rustling sound, the black coffin on her back flew out and landed heavily on the ground in front of her. Immediately, the corpse aura scattered, and countless chains surged out of the ground and surged wildly towards Miao Chengyang. “I, Ouyang Xianxing, will keep my word. I will not retreat even if I die!”

She actually took the initiative to attack with her mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

As she attacked, she sent a voice transmission to Fang Ji again to urge him to leave quickly.

Fang Ji’s expression was conflicted. He looked at Pei Ling, who had been burned to a pulp by the immortal fire and was even emitting a charred smell, and then at the calm and powerful Miao Chengyang. His expression changed several times before he finally made up his mind. He suddenly raised his hand and shot out several golden needles. The tips were dark green, and it was obvious that they were poisoned.

The golden needles went straight for Ouyang Xianxing’s back!

This change almost made Pei Ling’s eyes pop out of his head. Even Xue Ying was stunned.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Xianxing was suddenly attacked. Although she was shocked, she did not panic. The chains that grew from the flesh on her back suddenly shook like a peacock spreading its tail. They suddenly opened up behind her and struck down all the golden needles.

Ouyang Xianxing turned her head and looked at Fang Ji coldly. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fang! Ji!”

“Senior Sister, don’t blame me.” Fang Ji sneered slightly. There was no shame or guilt in his eyes as he said in a low voice, “The Branch Master is biased, and Senior Sister is muddle-headed. I’m not muddle-headed! If it were anyone else from the Clear River Faction who came, I wouldn’t be here if Senior Sister was willing to risk your life. But it’s actually Branch Master Miao! Even if Branch Master Zheng was here, he wouldn’t be a match for him. It’s human nature for me to abandon the dark and join the light.”

As he spoke, he walked quickly towards Pei Ling. “Branch Master Miao, your grudge against my faction’s Branch Master has nothing to do with me. Your brother’s death has nothing to do with me. Now that I’m handing Pei Ling to you, can you give me a way out?”

Miao Chengyang was delighted. With his strength, Ouyang Xianxing, Fang Ji, and Xue Ying were not his match. There was no need to talk to these people.

However, Miao Cheng’an had died too miserably. Although Miao Chengyang had long decided to torture Pei Ling before he died, he hoped that he could experience being betrayed by these inner sect disciples sent by Zheng Jingshan to protect him.

He wanted Pei Ling to experience the feeling of being abandoned by everyone, followed by the suffering of all kinds of torture!

At this moment, he could not help but clap and laugh. “Alright, alright, alright! Throw Pei Ling over and I’ll let you go immediately.”

Fang Ji was overjoyed. He leaned over and extended his hand to Pei Ling. “Don’t worry, Branch Master Miao. I…”

However, before he could finish his sentence, several chains suddenly shot out and stabbed towards his chest!

If not for the fact that Fang Ji dodged quickly, he would have been pierced.

“Senior Sister!” He was shocked. Then his face darkened as he shouted, “Senior Sister, you’re willing to fight to the death for the Double Mulberry Faction, but why don’t you give me a way out!”

Ouyang Xianxing ignored him. In the next moment, dozens of chains pierced through the ground and surrounded Pei Ling like a fence.

Her attitude was obvious. When she still had the ability to fight, Fang Ji could forget about using Pei Ling as proof of allegiance!

Fang Ji understood that this senior sister was stubborn and could not be convinced. A faint black aura appeared on his face, and his palms instantly turned black. Whether it was him or Xue Ying, they had followed Ouyang Xianxing for a long time. They had always been afraid of this senior sister and did not have the courage to fight her.

However, with Miao Chengyang by his side, it gave him great encouragement.

He immediately used the Five Poison Palm to slap those chains!

“Keng.”

However, to Fang Ji’s surprise, the chains did not react to his full-powered attack.

As for poison…

Ouyang Xianxing’s situation was special. Although she was quite immune to poison, the toxicity of Fang Ji’s cultivation did not affect her at all.

Seeing this, cold sweat broke out on Fang Ji’s forehead. Just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, Miao Chengyang was already too impatient to continue dawdling. With a casual punch, the trapping array shattered!

Immediately, his entire body turned into a dream-like phantom that headed straight for Ouyang Xianxing.

Xue Ying and Fang Ji could not help but look happy when they saw this!
