The blood-colored sword started to mercilessly devour the black-masked old man's blood.

The spirit-type elemental spirits like Blood of Lust or Flame of Pride were really hard to kill, but they would die too, as long as their master died.

Right now, the Blood of Lust was already on the verge of dying. It could only wiggle around and begged for the silver masked young man for help.

"Eh? This is... blood-type elemental spirit?! Tsk, Tsk, Tsk... So this is the reason why that old man suddenly becomes so strong!" The silver masked young man muttered softly.

The silver masked young man already saw the black-masked old man absorbed the huge nine-headed crimson snake, but he only thought it was one of his blood art before. 

He never thought that the black-masked old man would have something so rare like this blood-type elemental spirit.

"You want me to help you? No problem. No one can help you once your master died, you are destined to follow him too. But I have [Nine Petal Blood Lotus] as my martial soul. Only I can help you keep your life." The silver masked young man said as he smiled slyly.

"You can choose, submit to me or die here?" The silver masked young man asked with a cold tone.

The Blood of Lust was only a half step from death, so it could only vaguely form a word 'submit' with its liquid form.

The silver masked young man laughed in satisfaction and used the blood-colored sword in his grasp to give some vitality to the Blood of Lust.

The process was the reverse of how the blood-colored sword devoured the blood. It used its strength to recover the Blood of Lust instead now.

After regaining some of its strength back, the Blood of Lust flew toward the silver masked young man and entered his body through his wound before starting the assimilation process.

The silver masked young man felt a disgusting feeling creeping through his body. This Blood of Lust was a used 'tool' of that black-masked old man after all.

Actually, the silver masked young man did not want to touch or assimilate with this Blood of Lust at all, but he also realized that he really needed to get stronger as soon as possible.

The Blood of Lust was in weakened condition after all, so it could not use a fancy technique like how the Flame of Pride enhanced Tang Li Xue's constitution in their assimilation process. 

Blood of Lust and silver masked young man accepted each other, so the assimilation process was completed in only a few minutes.

The Blood of Lust could finally sigh in relief. As long as it could get the replacement master, its vitality would not continuously decrease in large amounts until it died like before.

The Blood of Lust immediately entered a deep slumber to recover its lost strength and vitality.

It would probably take a few tens of years for the Blood of Lust to completely recover.

But if the silver masked young man used his [Nine Petal Blood Lotus] to help the Blood of Lust recover, it might return to its full strength much sooner than expected.

The silver masked young man took the black-masked old man's spatial ring and turned around to stare at the direction where the wind arrow had come before.

"I wonder... who is the one helping me before?" The silver masked young man murmured.

.....

A few moments ago...

Tang Li Xue was still flying away as far as she could from Quanhai City, but she kept checking the battle between the silver masked young man and the black-masked old men with her [Wind God's Eyes].

Tang Li Xue also never expected that Yaya's [Wind God's Eyes] was this powerful. She could still see the battle between them from more than 50 miles away.

"Oh, no! That silver masked man seems to be in big trouble! if that old man won, would that mean the annoying crimson snake will chase after me again?!" Tang Li Xue groaned in annoyance.

Right at this moment, Yaya suggested Tang Li Xue to help the silver masked young man.

"Help him? How? I don't want to go back there again!" Tang Li Xue protested.

Then Yaya told Tang Li Xue to use her new divine ability, [Shockwave Impact], plus her new skill, [Whirlwind Vacuum Wave].

"Your new divine ability and skill? What is the use of this [Shockwave Impact] and [Whirlwind Vacuum Wave] any way?" Tang Li Xue asked curiously.

Yaya transmitted her knowledge about her new divine ability and new skill to Tang Li Xue's mind in that instant.

[Shockwave Impact] and [Whirlwind Vacuum Wave] was actually a set of powerful divine ability and terrifying skill taught by Instructor Mei Lan's mother herself to Yaya.

[Shockwave Impact]: The power to create or control the sharp change of pressure caused by the wind, air, explosion, or sound.

It sounds very confusing at first, but it was actually a very OP divine ability if the user could use it correctly.

Moreover, this [Shockwave Impact] could be applied not only in battle but in many other things as well.

[Whirlwind Vacuum Wave] was also the same as [Shockwave Impact]. In fact, both of them were one set of abilities.

Both could be used to increase the user's burst speed or firepower.

Even Tang Li Xue dropped her jaw in awe after received the knowledge about [Shockwave Impact] and [Whirlwind Vacuum Wave] from Yaya. 

"What an awesome set of abilities?! As we expected from Instructor Lan's mom, even the skill and divine ability she taught to Yaya is on a different scale than the other teacher!" Tang Li Xue nodded in satisfaction.

Instructor Lan's mom even gave Yaya many nutritious snacks, which made Yaya's level increased faster than Tang Li Xue.

"All right! There is no more time! That silver masked man will really die at this rate!" Tang Li Xue started to get nervous when the black-masked old man took out nine crystal orbs from his spatial ring.

She used her last strand of energy to create a white bow, and she used most of Yaya's wind elemental energy to create a wind arrow.

This wind arrow was imbued with the [Shockwave Impact] divine ability to increase its lethality by many times.

Under the [Shockwave Impact]'s effect, the direction of this wind arrow would not change, and the speed would also not decrease even if it got hit by wind, air, explosion, or sound.

Tang Li Xue nocked the wind arrow onto her white bow and pulled the bowstring.

"Ah... This is my first time to hold a bow, and you tell me to shoot someone from more than fifty miles away?! This is crazy! In my previous world, 2.2 miles is already an almost impossible shot and the farthest sniper shot! The heck, it is with a sniper rifle while I am here shooting an arrow with a bow!" Tang Li Xue complained again and again.

"Sigh... Forget it... Forgive me, young man... if I miss this shot or if I accidentally hit you with this shot, then you can only blame on your bad luck!" Tang Li Xue murmured as she licked her pinkish lips.

Despite her complaint and grumbling, Tang Li Xue was actually always very eager and excited to try new things.

The reason was that she had been confined in the hospital room for too long in her previous life. So in this new life, Tang Li Xue was very eager to try new things and exploring new places.

The moment when Tang Li Xue unleashed the wind arrow from her bow, she used her [Whirlwind Vacuum Wave] to propel the wind arrow.

The wind arrow flashed away toward where the silver masked young man and the black-masked old man was fighting.

Strangely, Tang Li Xue's wind arrow did not get any slower the farther it flew! 

On the contrary, it got faster and faster under the [Whirlwind Vacuum Wave]'s propelling effect!

It even added the spin effect to the wind arrow, and its spin got faster and faster too, the farther it flew!

In short, Tang Li Xue's wind arrow got even more powerful and faster, the longer it flew!

After Tang Li Xue's wind arrow covered more than fifty miles of distance and arrived at the black-masked old man's chest, the speed and power behind the wind arrow already reached an unfathomable level!

Even the Core Formation Stage Expert like the black-masked old man did not have enough time to react or defend himself before Tang Li Xue's wind arrow penetrated his chest.

Of course, this was all possible because the black-masked old man was currently fighting in the fierce battle against the silver masked young man, and he did not have any free time to pay attention to his surroundings.

Normally, any strong cultivator would always remain alert to their surrounding, so they would certainly know if an arrow was coming towards them from more than fifty miles away.

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after she saw her wind arrow hit right on her target's chest. 

She did not have any time to feel happy or joy as the extreme exhaustion flooded her entire body.

Tang Li Xue was forced to land in the middle of the forest. She quickly dug a small cave behind the bush for her hiding place.

Tang Li Xue glanced at her [Divine Possession Mode] duration at her system's log.

[Divine Possession Duration: 00:00:23]

'Great... So I am not only completely exhausted, but I also must face the backlash from the [Divine Possession Mode]?! Sigh...' Tang Li Xue thought in frustration.

This time Tang Li Xue was really run out of any options.

Phoenix of Pride was completely exhausted too and fell into a deep sleep in Tang Li Xue's Dantian.

Little Loki also fell into a deep sleep to digest the fragment of divine treasure it devoured before.

Her perfect copy had been killed by the nine-headed humongous dark crimson snake, and it would take 9 nights to recover.

Tang Li Xue herself and Yaya were already completely exhausted too, and both of them would need to face the backlash from the [Divine Possession Mode] soon.

Tang Li Xue could not help but felt really worried and insecure this time while she covered the cave entrance she made.

She did not even have any items to protect herself, such as [Substitution Doll], and so on.

As for those two disciples… let's just forget about them. It would be good already if they did not make more trouble for Tang Li Xue.

"I can only hope everything would be alright…" Tang Li Xue murmured softly as the duration of her [Divine Possession Mode] was up, and the backlash started to assault her entire body.

The unconscious Yaya automatically entered the system's pet storage. She was recovering her stamina bit by bit while facing the backlash effect from the [Divine Possession Mode] there.

Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth and muffled her painful groan. The extreme exhaustion made her wants to fall asleep, but the painful backlash kept her conscious awake.

Tang Li Xue kept teetering on the brink between asleep and awake. It really felt much worse than facing only the painful backlash.
