Chapter 1945: Chapter 1942: I Cannot Lose!
Shi Jiamu climbed up from the ground again. After Lin Bai’s three soul attacks just now, Shi Jiamu’s Divine Soul was severely injured, nearly torn into pieces, and suffered great damage to her Primordial Qi.
At this moment, her blood vessels and internal organs had begun to crack, fresh blood was continuously gushing out of her throat, and the skin on her body was breaking apart inch by inch.
The attack from the soul was something Shi Jiamu’s Martial Soul could not resist.
“I cannot lose…”
With defiance, determination, and an unwillingness to lose, Shi Jiamu climbed up from the ground again and walked step by step, leaving a bloody footprint, towards Yanluo Hall.
“Stop!” Lin Bai glanced coldly at Shi Jiamu and said, “If I launch another soul attack, your Divine Soul will be completely shattered. Even if your Martial Soul is strong, once your Divine Soul is fragmented, you will be turned to dust.”
“Do you really want to die?”
Lin Bai coldly stared at Shi Jiamu.
Shi Jiamu ignored Lin Bai’s words, walking towards him with a bloody footprint on each step.
The warriors on the Ninth Floor and the Elders in Zhexian City were all shaken by the tragic stubbornness of Shi Jiamu.
“This woman is truly a remarkable woman.”
“Why not admit defeat?”
“Does she really want to die that badly?”
Many warriors asked with confusion.
The Pale Old Strange Man, now reluctant, said, “Shi Jiamu, Lin Bai has already found the flaw in your Martial Soul Secret Skill. If he makes another move, you will surely die, admit defeat.”
“Even now, if you reach Lin Bai, given your current internal state, even if Lin Bai doesn’t use a soul secret skill again, you cannot defeat him!”
“Admit defeat, you can still save your life!”
The Pale Old Strange Man spoke with reluctance.
“Nonsense.” As the Pale Old Strange Man’s voice just fell, Shi Zhongxian coldly said, “The Martial Soul of our God Stone Domain Shi Clan has no flaws. This was a Martial Soul passed down by our Ancestor using a secret skill fused into our bloodline.”
“Our Shi Clan’s warriors will not be defeated by peers.”
“Shi Jiamu, defeat him, otherwise, you know the consequences.”
Shi Zhongxian looked at Shi Jiamu, speaking coldly.
At this moment, all the warriors present could see that Shi Jiamu no longer had the strength to fight Lin Bai, yet Shi Zhongxian showed no mercy, coldly demanding Shi Jiamu to defeat Lin Bai!
On the distant mountain, Xie Changqing sighed softly, “Ah, Shi Zhongxian truly is… devoid of any humanity.”
Zi Donglai said, “Shi Jiamu has already withstood three soul attacks. As Lin Bai said, if she doesn’t admit defeat, Lin Bai’s next strike will completely shatter her Divine Soul!”
“Furthermore, even if Lin Bai stops using soul attacks, given Shi Jiamu’s current state, even if she reaches Lin Bai, she cannot shake him.”
“This battle, Lin Bai has won.”
Zi Donglai and Xie Changqing had already seen the outcome of this battle, but only Shi Zhongxian still insisted that Shi Jiamu continue to defeat Lin Bai!
The Pale Old Strange Man saw that Shi Jiamu had no intention of stopping and shook his head helplessly.
Beside Lin Yibing, playing, Yin Jiuling also looked at Shi Jiamu, slightly shaken.
Shi Jiamu approached from a kilometer away, step by step with bloody footprints, on the White Jade Square, those footprints were especially striking and eye-catching.
Shi Jiamu dragged her heavily injured, dying body, covered in blood and dirt, barely alive, and walked in front of Lin Bai.
Lin Bai walked out from Yanluo Hall, his Martial Soul dispersed. Lin Bai did not plan to use the Martial Soul Secret Skill to attack Shi Jiamu again. As he said, if Shi Jiamu received another strike, she would be removed from the Book of Life and Death, her Divine Soul would be shattered, and she would be dead for sure!
Lin Bai walked out of Yanluo Hall, standing on the White Jade Square. Although he was also in a sorry state, it was still better than Shi Jiamu.
Lin Bai looked at the path Shi Jiamu walked, that bloody road, that road leaving thousands of bloody footprints, Lin Bai’s expression moved…
Even though Lin Bai usually acted ruthlessly, at this moment, looking at Shi Jiamu, he felt a little reluctant in his heart.
Not because Lin Bai was merciful, but because of that stubbornness on Shi Jiamu, Lin Bai seemed to see his former self, the self once in the Territory of all nations, once in the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, the self whom everyone looked down on.
At that time, Lin Bai was just like Shi Jiamu, no one in the world would care for his life and death, no matter how severe his injuries or how much humiliation he suffered, he had to stand up, he had to move forward.
Because if you stopped, countless sneers would swallow you, and countless enemies with Saber, Spear, Sword, and Halberd would kill you, grind you to dust, leaving nothing behind!
Pa pa—
Shi Jiamu drew closer to Lin Bai, ten steps away.
Lin Bai could almost clearly hear the sound of blood dropping onto the ground from Shi Jiamu’s weakly hanging fingers.
Ten steps!
Nine steps!
…
Three steps!
One step!
Shi Jiamu walked the thousand-meter long path, reaching Lin Bai.
Her insides were a complete wreck, the injuries from the Divine Soul were more dreadful than those on the flesh.
Between Lin Bai and her, there was only one step of distance.
“Ha!” Shi Jiamu gritted her teeth, disregarding the severe pain from her Divine Soul, she mobilized all her Spiritual Power inside her, concentrating it into her palm, and struck fiercely towards Lin Bai’s chest.
The Pale Old Strange Man and Yin Jiuling both gazed at Lin Bai and Shi Jiamu.
Both of them knew that as long as Lin Bai executed a strike now, he could easily cut down Shi Jiamu!
But Lin Bai didn’t.
He stared blankly at Shi Jiamu, allowing her to place a strike on his chest.
Bang—
A muffled groan was heard, Shi Jiamu’s last bit of strength struck Lin Bai, but it only made Lin Bai’s body sway slightly before the force was dissipated.
“Ah!” From the distant mountaintop, Zi Donglai and Xie Changqing both gently shook their heads, unable to bear watching the upcoming scene, they averted their gaze.
This was already Shi Jiamu’s last bit of strength, unable to even injure Lin Bai, it merely made Lin Bai’s body sway a few times before the force dispersed.
She was too weak, too weak to even gather her Spiritual Power, the injury to her Divine Soul was the hardest to heal under Heaven, and the hardest for a warrior to endure.
Lin Bai looked at Shi Jiamu’s pale, stubborn, and pretty face, saw her persistent and unwilling expression, saw her eyes losing focus, saw her life force dissipating…
Shi Jiamu swayed precariously, losing her balance, and pitched forward.
She was about to fall.
Watching her fall in the instant, Lin Bai stepped forward with his left foot, letting her fall against his chest, not onto the ground.
“Why do you fight?”
Shi Jiamu’s head knocked onto Lin Bai’s shoulder, Lin Bai’s lips close to her ear, asked softly.
But Shi Jiamu was already too weak to answer Lin Bai, she was too debilitated!
Seeing this, Shi Zhongxian shouted discontentedly, “Shi Jiamu, stop pretending to be dead, defeat him for me, otherwise, your parents will surely be expelled from the Shi Clan, reduced to streets, less than pigs or dogs!”
Hearing Shi Zhongxian’s words, the dissipating vitality in Shi Jiamu’s eyes instantly gathered, her head that was drooping on Lin Bai’s shoulder suddenly lifted, she stared at Lin Bai with a hint of fierceness.
Immediately, Shi Jiamu used all of her strength, opened her red lips, and bit Lin Bai’s shoulder, blood instantly sprayed from Lin Bai’s shoulder.
Even now, Lin Bai still did not resist.
Shi Jiamu clamped her teeth on Lin Bai’s shoulder flesh firmly, blood trickled down from the corner of her lips, now indistinguishable if it was Lin Bai’s blood or hers.
Tears of grievance flowed from her eyes, and between the teeth biting on Lin Bai’s flesh, she uttered a few muddled words, “I cannot lose…”
