Chapter 2223: Chapter 2223: I Am Your Husband!
Advancing in cultivation during a battle is always a taboo for cultivators.
However, at this moment, Ye Haochuan only had one thought in mind: to enhance his cultivation to save Jiang Shuying, without considering anything else.
The Twin Dragons Binding Gold Pill had been in Ye Haochuan’s possession for quite some time, yet he hadn’t used it due to its significant side effects. Even Xu Linglan, with her True Immortal Mid-Stage cultivation, was troubled by these side effects, let alone him, who was only at the Immortal Transformation Late Stage.
But now, he couldn’t afford to think about such concerns, as he couldn’t find another way to quickly enhance his cultivation.
Undoubtedly, the effect of the Twin Dragons Binding Gold Pill was remarkable. Within a few breaths, the shackles of his Immortal Transformation Late Stage were shattered, allowing him to successfully break through to the Immortal Transformation Peak, and his aura continued to rise.
The surrounding Strange-Headed Demon Beasts seemed to sense a threat, roaring as they charged forward, determined to stop this growing peril.
"Nine-Tailed Sword Qi!"
"Sunflower Water Sword Trace!"
Ye Haochuan remained still, only uttering two commands softly, as countless Phantom Swords led by the Nine-Tailed Phantom and Divine Concealment Sword appeared one after another.
Fighting while breaking through was something Ye Haochuan attempted for the first time. It was undeniably perilous, for even a slight distraction could cause him to fall into madness and die on the spot.
Of course, he could have chosen to break through in a Minor World. But if he did, he wouldn’t be able to constantly monitor Jiang Shuying’s safety.
He stubbornly believed that as long as he was restraining these Strange-Headed Demon Beasts, Jiang Shuying would be safe.
Clang clang ensued, as Tail Sword and Phantom Swords together confronted the Strange-Headed Demon Beasts.
With Ye Haochuan’s rising strength, the power of Sunflower Water Sword Trace and Nine-Tailed Sword Qi increased accordingly, surprisingly blocking the Strange-Headed Demon Beasts’ impact for a short time.
But it was just a temporary block; there were hundreds of Strange-Headed Demon Beasts, all at True Immortal Mid-Stage. They weren’t easy to stop.
Crack~
Phantom Swords first faded under continuous impact, and the Divine Concealment Sword suffered heavy blows, stumbling back to Ye Haochuan’s side.
With the fading of Sunflower Water Sword Trace, the pressure on Nine-Tailed Sword Qi soared, and soon, the Nine-Tailed Phantom gave a wretched scream and vanished on the spot.
"Faster, faster!" Ye Haochuan silently urged himself, pushing the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers to its limit, trying to absorb the Twin Dragons Binding Gold Pill’s effects as swiftly as possible.
The power of the Twin Dragons Binding Gold Pill had somewhat exceeded his expectations; he was already beyond Immortal Transformation Peak level, yet hadn’t undergone the Immortal Metamorphosis to advance to True Immortal Realm.
However, all the excess energy kept accumulating within him, waiting to burst forth once he broke into True Immortal Realm.
This was naturally beneficial for a cultivator. However, Ye Haochuan’s urgent situation made him worry about it incessantly.
A Strange-Headed Demon Beast’s attack loomed ahead.
Ye Haochuan, furious, glared at the surrounding Strange-Headed Demon Beasts and roared, "Die, you beasts! Even in death, I’ll drag you down with me!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Sect Technique!"
The Divine Concealment Sword seemed to regain its spirit in that instant, soaring into the sky.
Countless Light Swords rose sharply from the ground, simultaneously attacking the surrounding Strange-Headed Demon Beasts.
The combination of Taichi Spirit Realm and Communicating with God Treasure Order maximized the power of Ten Thousand Swords Sect Technique, and Ye Haochuan’s elevated cultivation brought Ten Thousand Swords Sect Technique to a soul-shattering level.
The Strange-Headed Demon Beasts sensed the crisis and tried to flee, but unfortunately, they were already within the range of Ten Thousand Swords Sect Technique, making escape impossible.
Light Swords danced, swiftly slicing through the Strange-Headed Demon Beasts’ bodies. Their mournful cries reverberated through the skies, unbearably tragic.
Within mere breaths, hundreds of previously domineering True Immortal Mid-Stage Strange-Headed Demon Beasts were reduced to fragments on the ground, blood flowing like rivers, almost overwhelming the entire scene.
Ye Haochuan looked grim, spitting several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his aura chaotic to the extreme.
Earlier, while his breakthrough was incomplete, he forcibly unleashed a strike beyond his body’s capacity, resulting in immediate backlash, causing inner chaos of epic proportions.
Thanks to the extraordinary Manual Technique of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers, he hadn’t succumbed to explosive death from reckless action.
Though his life was spared, Ye Haochuan had lost all strength, unable to move a finger, let alone deal with other matters.
He silently circulated the Manual Technique of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers, gradually sorting out the chaotic Flower Energy within, stabilizing his injuries. Recovering mobility, however, would take some time.
Jiang Shuying on the stone platform watched all this in bewilderment, as if the bloodshed unfolding before her belonged to a world separate from hers.
Once the blood of Strange-Headed Demon Beasts flooded the stone platform, she trembled violently, as though jarred by some unseen force.
The previously empty stone platform suddenly manifested countless strange talismans. With their emergence, the surrounding demon beast blood began to boil and, as if drawn by some unseen force, rushed into Jiang Shuying’s body.
Jiang Shuying’s expression twisted in agony, yet she bit her lip, refusing to utter a sound.
After an unknown period, Ye Haochuan’s injuries finally improved. He struggled to rise, eagerly rushing toward Jiang Shuying.
Yet as he got within two meters of Jiang Shuying, an overwhelming force erupted, violently hurling him away.
Poof~
Ye Haochuan landed heavily, spewing several mouthfuls of blood, his recently improving wounds exacerbated, pain filling every breath.
In shock, he looked at Jiang Shuying and struggled to utter, "Shuying, you..."
Jiang Shuying slowly opened her eyes, staring silently at Ye Haochuan, asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Shuying, you don’t recognize me? I’m Ye Haochuan, your husband!" Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened, quickly clarifying.
"Bold! How dare you flirt with me, courting death!"
At the mention of "husband," Jiang Shuying suddenly flew into a rage, extending her hand to grab Ye Haochuan from a distance, forcefully drawing him to her side, her fair hand firmly clutching his throat.
"Shuying, do you really not remember me? I..." Ye Haochuan’s heart sank abruptly; it seemed Jiang Shuying had indeed lost her memory.
"Dare you speak again? Die!" Qing Shuying’s eyes flared at Ye Haochuan, her grip tightening.
Ye Haochuan felt his throat might snap, yet he lacked the strength to resist.
The current Jiang Shuying exuded an unfathomable aura, capable of killing with effortless grace.
Dying at the hands of his own woman—what kind of death was this?
Ye Haochuan’s heart filled with despair.
