Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2732
Chapter 1245:
Seeing Yani’s life hanging by a thread, the guests on deck, though agitated, ultimately remained silent. After all, the three unfortunate souls had learned a lesson: no one wanted to be infected by Arati’s deathly aura and become a slave to death.
“Uncle Alfred, please help Yani!” Isabella, ever the kindhearted, hurriedly addressed the old butler nearby.
“My lady, my master has entrusted me with your safety. I can do nothing else.” The white-haired butler remained close to Isabella. A moment of carelessness had nearly caused Isabella to fall, leading to a young man’s embrace, sending him into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Zaun had no ill intentions; otherwise, the young lady would have been in danger. Such a mistake must not be repeated.
Just as Zaun was about to attack, Tingxue spoke up, “I’ll handle the dragon, you save the others.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she thrust her sword forward, still unsheathed, and a massive burst of energy erupted.
Boom!
The skeletal dragon had been shattered by the sharp sword energy and fell into the sea.
The huge impact force hit Yani. She seemed to be affected by the death energy due to the long battle, which made her body much weaker. She spit out a mouthful of blood and fell directly into the sea.
Zuan was shocked by this and hurriedly controlled the rising sea water. A wave dragged Yani down, and Zuan rushed to support her.
Every time he was in close contact with her, words like “foreign horse” and “the eight-foot lady at the comic convention” would pop up in Zuan’s mind.
“Thank you…” Yani’s voice was a little weak, completely lacking the fierceness of the female warrior just now.
Zuan hurriedly pushed the chaotic thoughts out of his mind: “How are you?”
“Not well.” Yani raised her hands, only to find them already shrouded in a layer of grayish-white aura that seemed to be spreading up her arms, though she was resisting it with all her might. “This death energy is assimilating my own strength. The more I try to expel it, the more it feeds it.”
Expelling it would aid the enemy, while not doing so would result in immediate death.
It seemed hopeless in every way. The sea began to swirl strangely again, and Zuan could sense the bone dragons regrouping. “Let’s get back to the ship first. Can you still fly?”
Yani frowned slightly, “I think it should be fine.”
Hearing her bravado, Zuan smiled: “I’ll take you.”
He then lifted her up and flew directly towards the ship.
Yani was startled, observing Zuan intently, a sudden strain on her face.
As the two landed on the ship, everyone on deck looked peculiar. Even Tingxue couldn’t help but glance at him, as if to say, “We’re fighting for our lives, and you’re here to pick up girls?”
However, when everyone saw the deathly aura emanating from Yani, they all realized it wasn’t Yani being coquettish, nor was it Zuan being lecherous; it was simply that her condition was truly dire.
“Sister Yani, I have some healing remedies here…” Isabella fumbled in the small bag at her waist.
“Miss, this is truly the legendary deathly aura. You must not approach it. Any living creature infected with it cannot be rid of it. It will eventually consume the host’s vitality, sending them back to the embrace of death.” Alfred stopped Isabella from checking.
The guests who had originally wanted to check on the situation took several steps back. “You’re kidding! This thing is contagious!”
Especially considering the situation of the three unfortunate souls just now, they knew Alfred was right.
“Is there no other way?” Isabella asked hurriedly.
“Unless there are followers of immortality, those Life Priests, or Offspring Priests among the Reproduction Cult, whose spells often possess powerful vitality and are somewhat effective against this kind of death energy, it’s just that this is the death energy of the Death Envoy from back then, and ordinary priests probably can’t handle it.” Alfred glanced around, but there were no followers of these two gods on the ship.
“Why not throw her into the sea…” one of the guests suggested. Seeing the strange looks from everyone, he stiffened his neck and said, “You’re all thinking the same thing, right? If she stays on the ship, the death energy she carries will only grow. If it erupts, everyone on the ship will be unable to escape and will be infected!”
Many were persuaded by his words. Although Yani was beautiful and powerful, that was in the past.
Now she was a “Poison King,” threatening to take everyone aboard with her.
“No, Sister Yani is our companion. How can you abandon them? Do you expect others to abandon you if you get hurt?” Isabella spread her arms, blocking Yani.
Seeing her stop them, they couldn’t force her, so they could only offer words of persuasion:
“Miss Isabella, we know you have a kind heart, but this is an unsolvable problem. Do you want everyone on board to die together?”
“I think Yani has contained the death energy to her arms. If we cut off her hands and throw them into the sea, we might be able to save her life.”
“Although her arms may not grow back due to the death energy, she should be able to live a normal life with two prosthetic limbs.”
…
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Zaun couldn’t help but say, “Let me try.”
He felt that this death energy wasn’t as terrifying as they described.
“Don’t let yourself get infected and cause more trouble.” Many people’s faces paled. Everyone saw Yani’s strength. She could temporarily resist the death energy, but this guy was much weaker. If he were to be infected, he might be overwhelmed instantly, putting everyone else on deck in even greater danger.
“Don’t worry, if I get infected, just throw me into the sea,” Zaun said coldly, pushing aside the others’ hands and moving to Yani’s side.
At that moment, the sea churned again, and Arati regrouped and recovered, opening his mouth to let out a shrill roar.
“Shut up!” Tingxue snorted coldly, and another massive sword energy instantly struck the opponent, smashing the bone dragon to pieces mid-air.
As if she had done something insignificant, she quickly glanced at Zuan, her eyes filled with concern.
Everyone on the deck swallowed their saliva. How could this aloof woman be so fierce? She
was even as powerful as Yani!
Moreover, her casual attack required no contact with Arati, naturally without the risk of infection, and in this respect, she was far superior to Yani.
Zuan was now concentrating on observing the grayish-white death energy on Yani’s hand. He did not act rashly, but reached out and placed a hand on Yani’s shoulder, activating the Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra.
As expected, with the purifying power of the Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra, the death energy that had been spreading upward with such force retreated as if it had seen a ghost.
Zuan breathed a sigh of relief. It had worked.
So he directly held Yani’s hand. The meridians in her body were a little strange, and seemed to be different from those of ordinary people. It was more convenient to directly touch the affected area.
“Be careful!” Seeing this scene, Isabella was frightened and shouted a warning.
Zuan smiled at her: “It’s okay.”
Immediately, the Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra was fully opened, and the gray-white death energy on Yani’s hands quickly dissipated like ice and snow in midsummer.
With the death energy removed, Yani regained her spirits. She stood up and stretched her fists and feet, and couldn’t help but rejoice: “Thank you, I owe you a life.”
The eyes of the people around her almost popped out. This guy could first control the sea, and now he could purify the death energy. What is his origin
? Alfred couldn’t help but ask: “This young man, are you a believer in immortality or reproduction?”
“No, I am a believer in the God of Memory.” Zuan had just finished answering when his face suddenly changed, because he felt an inexplicable power coming, the wind and clouds in the sky changed, and those dark clouds quickly gathered into a strange eye.
A divine voice sounded in his heart: “Oh, you are my believer? But how come I didn’t know?”
