1013: Chapter 288: Pursuers Behind 1013: Chapter 288: Pursuers Behind “Wife, is there a Divine Skill that uses up a body’s true essence in an instant without consuming the strength of the flesh body?” Su He looked at Ji Feixue, who was treating his claws, and asked.
If there were such a Magic skill, when changing to human form, would it be possible to consume the bodily strength of Xuan Wu and Peacock without affecting the combat power of the human form?
“Fairy Ji!” Ji Feixue’s chilly voice corrected him first.
If you don’t want to call her ‘Fairy’, you can use her name.
“Wife!” Su He uncompromisingly insisted.
Ji Feixue choked for a moment, feeling the words stuck in her chest, completely unable to sort out her thoughts.
The healing technique she applied to Su He’s claws then carried a chilling frost.
Fairies have always been forthright and spoke little.
A piercing pain spread through him, making Su He gasp sharply, his body trembling.
“Wife, it hurts!” Su He hissed.
“Fairy!” Ji Feixue’s eyes flickered with a rare cunning sparkle.
“Fairy Wife, it hurts!” Su He breathed in the cool air sharply, initially thinking only the Netherworld Passage had injured his body.
With a slight movement, he discovered his right foreclaw was shattered!
The Dragon Turtle could deploy Divine Skills through various means.
The Mountain Divine God Seal could descend from the heavens or be spouted from a mouth.
When Su He transformed into human form, he punched out and blew up the Black Dragon.
He didn’t feel it initially, but when he regained his senses, he found both the Dragon Turtle’s right foreclaw and the Peacock’s right wing damaged—identical injuries.
The backlash from the Mountain Divine God Seal was not supposed to be used that way!
Especially after increasing the base power sixfold, he also used Instant Brilliance.
Everything in the world has its strengths and weaknesses.
The human form merging multiple physical strengths also meant damage to the human form affected all bodies.
“Fairy Wife…”
Ji Feixue’s breath hitched, her teeth lightly gritted, the intent of her healing water growing colder.
Seeing Su He trying to dodge, she snorted, “Don’t move!”
Her icy treatment, though painful, was highly effective.
How could the mighty Dragon Turtle not endure such pain?
Next time, she’d refine the Hundred Weapons of the Dragon clan into a healing method, and if he dared to call out randomly again, she’d pierce his heart with a sword as treatment.
Water fell from Ji Feixue’s hand, her voice frosty, “Switch to Peacock Body!”
The Peacock’s body being of fire nature contradicted her healing methods, doubling the pain—Ji Feixue’s eyes lit up.
Su He’s entire Turtle Body almost jumped up, “Wife, stop messing around!
The Peacock body has Phoenix True Fire.”
The healing effect of Phoenix True Fire is unparalleled—but wait!
Why should he suffer this way?
Once he recovers his true essence tomorrow, wouldn’t he be able to use Phoenix True Fire for healing in his human form?
Healing the human form would naturally heal all.
Su He looked resentfully at Ji Feixue, who took the initiative to heal him, seemingly enchanted.
However, Ji Feixue, as if she hadn’t noticed, responded instead to Su He’s initial question, “There is a method that consumes the flesh body’s strength instantly, the ‘Selflessness’ of the Qilin Clan exceeds even the Dragon Turtle’s Instant Brilliance.”
The Qilin Clan’s Selflessness consumed the physical body from the roots to deliver a supreme strike.
Su He was startled and shook his head, “Stop kidding!
That’s no different from self-destructing.”
He wanted to use up the physical strength, not consume the flesh body!
Ji Feixue’s lips twitched slightly, “Once, many sacrifices of the Witch Clan involved offering up the flesh body, indiscriminate of friend or foe.”
Ji Feixue, continuing, shook her head, “You shouldn’t seek such extreme methods.
Having the Dragon Turtle’s Instant Brilliance and your Damage Absorption Counterattack for protection is enough.
What you need is to progress steadily, step by step.”
Being accustomed to sneak attacks and taking shortcuts, one could forget how to fight honorably and outright.
Su He, standing to the side, tapped his claws on the ground—despite Ji Feixue’s heavy hand, the effect was indeed very good!
The injuries from the backlash of the Mountain Divine God Seal, with the effect of the Reverse Cut Root, would have required ten days to half a month to heal on his own.
With Ji Feixue’s method, in just a moment, he could feel threads wrapping around the fracture in his bones, which had already begun to heal.
In most, seven to eight hours, he should be fully recovered.
Su He shook his body, transforming into his Peacock True Body, a great sun rising above him, enveloping himself in Phoenix True Fire, visibly restoring his broken right wing.
Divine beasts recover extremely fast.
The true essence he had just exhausted had already begun to replenish, the Phoenix True Fire, though not as vigorous as usual, was sufficient for healing.
The tingling recovery of his wing was very comfortable.
Su He emitted a pleasing cry.
Indeed, being enveloped in True Fire was more comfortable.
He released the Silver Maple Tree and lightly leaped onto it.
The Silver Maple Tree rooted in the earth, drawing strength from the ground to nourish his body.
“Wife, your father’s Flying Swords can’t be taken out.”
The Flying Swords had voluntarily stabbed into the Black Dragon and entered the Netherworld.
Unless he ventured in again, they couldn’t be retrieved.
But his last entrance had him immediately thrown out by the Western Thunder King; it probably wasn’t suitable for him to go there at this moment.
Ji Feixue shook her head, “No matter.”
She wasn’t particularly concerned about external things, especially since it was in Su He’s hands.
“The Black Dragon is suppressed, I need to return to Yunmeng Ze for seclusion.
Will you come with me?” Ji Feixue asked clearly.
With Feng Si not in the Mystery Huang World, she wasn’t keen on heading to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains in the Phoenix Clan’s territory.
With the acquisition of Dui Gua and several inheritances, she could now focus on seclusion to transform the inheritances into her strengths.
One more step forward, and she would no longer fear the Dragon clan’s hunt or the Cultivators’ pursuit.
“Let’s go!” Su He immediately agreed.
How could he let her leave him behind?
She had some rejection towards this land of Suppression.
He didn’t want to stay here forever.
As Su He spoke, he suddenly remembered something, slightly embarrassed, “Wife, could you first accompany me to Tian Nu Clan?
Their Goddess and Kui Trigram are still with me.
If my status is unstable and I’m forced to return, it’ll be irrevocable.”
