Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 342: Chapter 339: Dire Straits

"Senior Brother!"

The two of them shot backward, away from Hong Yang.

Watching his figure shrink rapidly in the distance,

Wu Tianhao couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

From his perspective,

the black storm behind Hong Yang, a pillar connecting heaven and earth, was rapidly expanding,

as if it were swallowing the world!

And beneath that massive pillar of a storm,

Hong Yang’s figure was impossibly small,

as if he would be devoured in the next moment!

"Go! Now!"

Hong Yang only managed a great roar.

Then he turned around,

facing the black storm behind him that emanated a vast and majestic aura.

Within the terrifying tornado that pierced the heavens,

a small, dark figure was faintly visible!

But it was this small, dark figure

that radiated a terrifying pressure, causing a cold sweat to break out all over Hong Yang’s body!

"Damn it! What in the world did you do?!"

Hong Yang’s heart sank completely.

The enemy’s aura was climbing steadily,

already approaching the level of the Divine Travel Realm.

In contrast,

the power of the Secret Technique within his body was rapidly dissipating, and an irrepressible wave of weakness washed over him.

This made one thing crystal clear to Hong Yang:

he was probably going to die here today!

Hong Yang sighed to himself.

However,

no matter what,

he had to delay for as long as possible.

Only then would his two junior brothers have a sliver of a chance to survive!

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. How utterly foolish!]

[If you had chosen to flee and let those two brats scatter to buy you time, you might have had a chance to live!]

From within the black storm,

came a cold, mocking voice.

"Hmph! How could a vile heretic like you possibly understand!"

"A beast neither human nor ghost, willingly debased. No matter how high your Cultivation Realm, in the end, you’ll just be blood food for someone else!"

Hong Yang sneered.

He had no intention of backing down.

[In that case, you can become my blood food first!]

The deep voice in the void showed little change in tone.

From within the dark storm,

a majestic surge of Magical Power suddenly erupted. A massive, pitch-black hand that blotted out the sky swept down toward Hong Yang!

Undaunted, Hong Yang

erupted with crimson light once more and charged forward to meet the attack!

The battle erupted in an instant!

All of this took a while to describe,

but in reality, it happened in the flash of an eye.

It wasn’t until an earth-shattering explosion from the collision rocked the valley shrouded by the Array

that outside,

the figures of Wu Tianhao and Shen Changchuan, who had been thrown a thousand zhang away,

finally came to a halt.

"We can’t let Senior Brother face that person alone!"

"Otherwise, by the time reinforcements arrive, Senior Brother Hong will be dead for sure!"

"Junior Shen, you’re only at the Soul Emergence First Layer. Your Cultivation isn’t high enough; you won’t be much help."

"You go back and get help. After you send the Communication Talisman, find a place to hide. I’ll go help Senior Brother Hong!"

Wu Tianhao’s voice was urgent.

He pushed Shen Changchuan back, then gathered his Magical Power, about to fly back toward the valley.

Shen Changchuan was stunned, forcibly shoved aside by Wu Tianhao.

A look of astonishment appeared on his face.

’So this is... what it means to be fellow disciples? When real trouble hits, they put themselves in front of you and face the greatest danger.’

In a situation like this,

’if it were me,’

’could I do what Senior Brother Hong did? Voluntarily stay behind and hold off an enemy I could barely fight, just to cover the retreat for two junior brothers?’

’Forget about being like Senior Brother Hong,’

’even being like Wu Tianhao,’

’could I do that?’

’Probably... not very likely...’

For a moment, Shen Changchuan didn’t know what to feel.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.

"Wait!"

"Senior Brother, let’s go together!"

"I still have a few tricks up my sleeve."

"They should be more than enough to deal with that guy!"

Shen Changchuan grabbed Wu Tianhao’s arm.

He didn’t waste words.

He directly stated his confidence,

and with a flip of his palm, he produced a Jade Talisman that he gripped in his hand. It sealed a power so terrifying that space itself seemed to tremble before it.

Wu Tianhao, his expression anxious, was about to refuse.

He was trying to think of what to say to convince Shen Changchuan to go back.

But the moment he saw the Jade Talisman in Shen Changchuan’s hand,

his pupils constricted violently.

"This is..."

"I got lucky and found this a while ago."

"With the power it can unleash, dealing with that enemy shouldn’t be a problem!"

"Alright then! Let’s go!"

After only a moment of hesitation,

Wu Tianhao made his decision.

Just from the premonition from his Spiritual Sense,

Wu Tianhao could feel the terrifying power contained within that Jade Talisman.

This was a power that surpassed the Divine Travel Realm!

With this,

rescuing Senior Brother Hong was no longer a suicide mission!

Naturally, there was no reason to refuse.

Two streaks of light immediately shot back toward the valley.

...

At this very moment,

inside the fog-shrouded valley,

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Following an earth-shattering roar, both the sky and the ground began to tremble violently.

A torrent of majestic Magical Power erupted, its shockwave sweeping through the entire valley!

A nearby mountain peak crumbled and split apart under the tangible impact,

and stones tumbled down from its summit.

And at the center of the collision,

Hong Yang’s body was sent flying backward like a cannonball, shot through the air before crashing a thousand zhang away!

Another loud CRASH echoed,

and the earth caved in over a ten-zhang radius, forming a large crater.

Dust and debris swirled up with the airflow,

and in the center of the crater,

Hong Yang was half-kneeling, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. His face was ashen, and his aura was incredibly weak.

Without a doubt,

after an exchange that lasted only a few breaths,

Hong Yang had been defeated!

Utterly and completely defeated, with no power to resist!

’Damn it! How can it be this strong!’

’I wonder how those two boys, Tianhao and Changchuan, are doing. You have to survive! I’m counting on you to avenge me in the future!’

Hong Yang knew very well

that his chances of survival

were practically zero.

But now, on the verge of death,

he felt no fear. Instead, there was a hint of bittersweet amusement.

’Why am I not afraid of death?’

’Perhaps...’

’I should have died many years ago.’

’Back then, my senior brother also stood in front of me...’

For some reason,

at this very moment,

Hong Yang’s heart was exceptionally calm.

[You are about to die!]

The fierce wind howled.

The black tornado, so dense it seemed solid, pierced heaven and earth as it slowly approached Hong Yang.

The surrounding soil and dead, withered trees at the storm’s edge were torn apart layer by layer, pulverized into dust.

Wherever it passed,

it left a long, hideous fissure in the ground!

[Tsk, tsk. Was it worth it?]

The deep voice

was filled with contempt.

Hong Yang sneered but didn’t answer.

He forced himself to his feet,

struggling to assume a fighting stance

as he faced his opponent.

The resolve in his eyes had not faded in the slightest.

[Very well. Since you’re so eager to die, I will grant you your wish!]

The roiling storm swept through the sky, coalescing into a massive, pitch-black hand of wind and clouds.

Once again, it swept down toward Hong Yang!
