In Zhang Tian's eyes, the spear before him grew closer.
Zhang Tian gasped.
His internal energy circulated wildly.
Almost instantly, a shield appeared before Zhang Tian, and at the same time, his peach wood sword was raised to block.
"Bang,"
The next moment, the spear struck the peach wood sword, and Zhang Tian's body was sent flying several meters.
He only stopped when he hit the wall.
A mouthful of blood spat from his lips.
He had been too rushed, Zhang Tian hadn't had time to use his full strength to resist.
Although he had blocked this attack.
Zhang Tian could feel his internal organs boiling.
It was as if something had shattered.
The sensation was akin to all his meridians and blood vessels breaking.
Yet, it didn't seem as severe; Zhang Tian felt it was more like a few blood vessels had burst.
And his bones had likely fractured too. Zhang Tian tried to stand, but he found he had no strength in his entire body.
Moreover, his bones felt soft.
Only then did Zhang Tian realize the terrifying power of this single strike.
In just one exchange, every bone in his body had fractured.
His heart sank, and he looked ahead.
He saw the Queen Mother of the West hovering in the sky, a look of confidence on her face.
She appeared as a living Valkyrie.
The Queen Mother of the West looked down at Zhang Tian.
She swung her spear again.
She knew her time was limited; ending the battle as quickly as possible was the best course of action.
"Whoosh."
The Queen Mother of the West's spear struck out again.
Queen Jingjue moved almost simultaneously.
But it was likely too far from Zhang Tian; she couldn't reach him in time.
The spear, churning with countless energies, charged towards Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian had only just begun to recover; if he was struck again, it would be...
Zhang Tian took a breath and slowly raised his peach wood sword, perhaps for the last time.
"Boss."
Fatty shouted, seeing this.
Even Hu Bayi looked tense.
The speed was too great; they couldn't intervene.
Under the gaze of countless eyes.
"Boom!"
A sharp sound rang out.
It was nothing like Zhang Tian had expected.
There was no pain. Zhang Tian saw only a black shadow flash before his eyes.
Zhang Qilin's figure had directly placed himself in front of Zhang Tian.
"Whoosh."
As the force of the spear met it, the Black Gold Ancient Saber instantly shattered, and Zhang Qilin was sent flying.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian quickly began to consume recovery pills.
Fortunately, the pills Zhang Qilin had refined were in batches of hundreds.
So Zhang Tian hadn't finished them even after eating for a while.
With the pills swallowed, Zhang Tian's body began to recover.
Since these were not super healing pills, the recovery was slow.
Queen Jingjue, seeing the attack fail, knew she couldn't let the Queen Mother of the West attack a second time.
Otherwise, if Zhang Tian died, escaping this place would be impossible.
It could be said that Zhang Tian was the main force here.
The Queen Mother of the West was also shocked by what she had just witnessed.
Zhang Tian should have been certain to die, but somehow Zhang Qilin had awakened and saved Zhang Tian's life.
The Queen Mother of the West had already valued destiny greatly, and now, seeing Zhang Tian's situation, she became even more convinced of her beliefs.
Zhang Tian was not only protected by great destiny but also possessed some merit.
In the Queen Mother of the West's eyes, Zhang Tian even radiated a golden light.
This was not merely due to destiny, but also some element of merit.
There were things that could not be seen or touched, let alone comprehended.
Yet, they existed.
Why did so many people wish to become immortals, to be remembered by future generations, to receive incense offerings? Because there was a miraculous power in it.
And Zhang Tian, over the years, had always helped lost souls, even proactively transcending the souls of those who died unjustly; naturally, he had accumulated some merit.
As Queen Jingjue rushed forward, the Queen Mother of the West responded decisively.
The two women immediately became locked in combat.
And the Queen Mother of the West, now possessing the spear, clearly held the upper hand.
Within a few moves, Queen Jingjue began to struggle.
Zhang Qilin had already dealt with the entity within him. A red glow, like flames, ignited around him.
Simultaneously, a Qilin figure appeared behind him.
He charged towards the Queen Mother of the West, holding the Black Gold Ancient Saber.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Fatty and Hu Bayi, along with a third person, quickly reached Zhang Tian.
Honestly, how could he be alright? Zhang Tian had major problems.
But what of it? If he wanted to survive, he had to unleash his body's full potential.
"My bones and meridians are recovering at maximum speed. I need twenty seconds."
Zhang Tian said in a deep voice.
Twenty seconds was quick for an ordinary person.
It was almost an instant.
But for someone of the Queen Mother of the West's strength, it was enough time to kill a city.
"Boss, don't worry. Fatty will hold her off, even if it costs me my life,"
Fatty said earnestly.
Hu Bayi nodded in agreement.
Zhang Tian shook his head.
"I'm not asking you to block, but to use some simple moves to keep her occupied."
Zhang Tian said, and Hu Bayi understood.
Their current strength was no match for the Queen Mother of the West.
However, Queen Jingjue couldn't hold on for long.
The only way now was to use small attacks to distract the opponent, allowing Zhang Tian to recover.
Then, numerous small attacks began.
Because they were minor attacks, the Queen Mother of the West sometimes didn't bother to block them, but some attacks were quite piercing and affected her judgment.
With no other choice, the Queen Mother of the West would occasionally divert her attention to block.
This also gave Queen Jingjue and Zhang Qilin some breathing room.
"Attack her dantian."
Zhang Qilin's Black Gold Ancient Saber swung continuously, and his voice echoed.
Queen Jingjue looked at Zhang Qilin with surprise.
"How do you know."
"My bloodline carries her curse, and the curse is bloodline symbiosis."
"From within the curse, I also saw the method of breaking it."
"To break this, one must start from the source, break her bloodline, and then she can be truly killed."
Zhang Qilin's voice was not loud, but his words were rapid.
He was no longer the same Zhang Qilin as before.
As Zhang Qilin finished speaking, Queen Jingjue nodded, and their attacks now focused on the Queen Mother of the West's dantian.
They could only find a weakness and then defeat her piece by piece.
As the attacks continued.
The twenty seconds passed quickly.
Zhang Tian's energy had recovered somewhat.
This didn't mean Zhang Tian was fully healed in twenty seconds.
But he had regained his ability to move.
His offensive power, however, was still greatly diminished.
Looking at the Queen Mother of the West, who was now being suppressed, Zhang Tian swallowed more pills.
With the interference from Hu Bayi and the others, they could suppress her for a short time.
Zhang Tian could use this opportunity to focus on recovering from his injuries.
At the same time, Zhang Tian's gaze fell upon the blood-stained peach wood sword.
