Novel Lived
Chapter 130
Chapter 130
Zhang Hu had not returned for a long time, and Lin Feng was beginning to despair.
His consciousness couldn’t hold on much longer, and the agony from the hundred ghosts devouring his heart grew stronger.
Despite the pain that made him wish for death, the silly smile on his face became more pronounced.
He must save himself!
A strong will to survive surged in Lin Feng’s heart.
Although he was the Son of Destiny, no one would dare to gamble with fate in such a situation!
His eyes glanced at the ancient spirit ring on his right finger.
After hesitating, he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of dark essence blood directly onto the spirit ring!
Old Man Tianji liked to keep a backup plan. Even if he was truly asleep, he should have left something behind.
The last time he heard ‘Nine Abyss Soul Embryo’, the old man had emitted a wave of soul power; this was the best proof.After all, who could completely sleep and still react to external things?
Now, Lin Feng was betting on this backup plan!
He didn’t need much, just a trace of Old Man Tianji’s soul power, and he could resist the poison using his own Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique to expel the toxins from his body!
“Old Man Tianji, I’m counting on you!”
Staring desperately at the spirit ring, Lin Feng was extremely weak.
Silence was his answer.
The spirit ring, covered in dark essence blood, showed no reaction.
This plunged Lin Feng into utter despair.
But just as he was about to resign himself to his fate.
“Ah!!!”
A scream came from the spirit ring!
“Old Man Tianji?”
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, almost crying with excitement.
“Who? Who let a ghost into the spirit ring, trying to gnaw me alive? This person is ruthless and must know that I am a soul body, deliberately trying to scatter my soul!” Old Man Tianji cursed.
“Uh…” Lin Feng was extremely embarrassed.
He had been so focused on saving himself that he had forgotten about this.
But he was helpless.
If he didn’t do this, he risked becoming an idiot!
He and Old Man Tianji were in the same boat.
If things went wrong, Old Man Tianji would suffer too!
Now was not the time for explanations, Lin Feng shouted, “Old Man Tianji, save me…”
Silence answered him again as if Old Man Tianji had fallen back asleep.
Helpless, Lin Feng repeated the action, spraying another mouthful of dark essence blood onto the spirit ring.
“Ah!!!” Old Man Tianji’s scream sounded again.
“Quick, while you haven’t fallen asleep again, lend me a trace of your soul power!” Lin Feng seized the opportunity to shout.
The answer was still silence.
He knew that Old Man Tianji’s soul power was depleted, and he would unconsciously fall asleep, even in the face of danger.
To forcefully awaken him, he had to do something drastic!
Gritting his teeth, he went for a tenfold spray!
He only stopped when he was about to faint from the effort!
“Ah!!”
“Ah!!”
“Ah!!”
Old Man Tianji kept screaming.
Although he would fall back asleep after each scream, the duration of the screams was noticeably getting longer.
Finally, a chill filled the room, and Old Man Tianji floated out of the spirit ring, standing in front of Lin Feng.
He was dressed in a Tai Chi robe, his face was old and weary with one black and one white eye beneath his white eyebrows.
This was not the first time Lin Feng had seen Old Man Tianji’s complete soul, but he was still stunned.
Because at this moment, Old Man Tianji’s soul was intermittently solid and dissipating, clearly the purest soul, yet it carried a hint of a ghost’s malevolence!
His eyes, which should have been ancient and profound, were flashing a terrifying red light!
“Who? Who is it? I must tear you apart today!!”
Old Man Tianji’s white hair was disheveled, and he was nearly losing his sanity.
“Quick… save me…”
With those words, Lin Feng completely lost consciousness.
Hearing this, Old Man Tianji’s eyes regained clarity, and he hurriedly checked Lin Feng’s condition.
“A hundred ghosts devouring the heart, a poison pill refined from seven kinds of Yin spirits?” he exclaimed in shock!
But after glancing at the dirty blood at the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth and the spirit ring now completely covered in dark essence blood, he twitched at the corner of his mouth!
If it weren’t for his instinctive sense of a life-threatening crisis, which caused the ghost and other Yin spirits to backlash, adding a bit more soul power, he would have almost been gnawed to death by the ghosts by now!
Although this awakened him from his slumber, it also caused his soul to be contaminated by Ghost Qi, with extremely troublesome consequences!
A slight mishap could lead to becoming a ghost without any sanity!
At this moment, Old Man Tianji wanted to strangle Lin Feng.
But looking at Lin Feng’s hollow eyes, his emaciated body, and the silly smile that remained even when he had lost his senses…
“You, the Son of Destiny, are even more miserable than me…,” he sighed helplessly.
With that, he had to squeeze out most of the soul power he had just recovered and pour it into Lin Feng’s body after some hesitation.
……
Several hours later.
Lin Feng suddenly woke up!
Sitting up straight, he looked around and found he was still in his own room. The ghostly wails in his mind had disappeared, and the devoured flesh had somewhat recovered.
“Haha! I actually survived this! I really am the Son of Destiny!” The relief of surviving a calamity made Lin Feng laugh out loud.
He quickly took out some blood-replenishing pills from the spirit ring and popped them into his mouth non-stop.
Not long after the pills were swallowed, the speed of his flesh recovery increased.
Several hours later, although he was still as thin as a rake, he had finally regained the ability to move.
“Old Man Tianji?” Lin Feng called out urgently.
Silence answered him again.
“Asleep again?” Lin Feng guessed.
“Cackle!!”
A strange laugh came from behind.
Hearing this, Lin Feng jumped up and looked in the direction of the sound.
At this sight, he immediately went on high alert!
In one corner of the room floated a disheveled ghost with red eyes, laughing incessantly as if it couldn’t stop.
Seeing that Lin Feng was about to act, the ‘ghost’ finally spoke: “Lin Feng, it’s me, Old Man Tianji!”
Old Man Tianji?!
Lin Feng was taken aback. He didn’t want to believe it.
After all, Old Man Tianji was a soul body. How could he have such heavy Ghost Qi? And why was his laugh so strange?
But he had to believe it, Because if he looked closely, the facial features and clothing of the ghost in front of him were indeed exactly like Old Man Tianji!
“…Old Man Tianji, how did you become like this?” Lin Feng’s heart sank as he hurried over.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Tianji suddenly became furious, clawing and pounding at Lin Feng.
Despite being extremely angry, he couldn’t help but stop from time to time to let out a ‘cackle’ of strange laughter.
Knowing he was at fault, Lin Feng didn’t dare to fight back, only trying to escape in all directions.
The two of them chased and fled for about half an hour.
Finally, Old Man Tianji grew tired and curled up in the corner, beginning to question his life.
“What exactly happened?” Lin Feng asked seriously.
“I, the great Tianji, who knows destiny and understands the past and the future, have had nearly twenty percent of my soul tainted by Ghost Qi just to save you!”
Tears filled Old Man Tianji’s eyes as he looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle: “My soul is no longer pure, making it even harder to rebuild my body. One false step, and I will no longer be Tianji the sage, but Tianji the ghost!”
Lin Feng fell silent.
It wasn’t that he had nothing to say, but he had a premonition of what came next.
No matter what he said, he was sure to get beaten up again!
