Tainted will

Chapter 42 Crisis



"I am leaving, do you have a problem?" Bai Ming coldly glanced at Li wei.

Li wei's face became more pale and the bitter feeling in her heart increased. Her eyes were full of uncertainty as she glanced at her teacher's back.

Bai Ming didn't wait for her reply and quickly moved storing all the core formation corpses lying on the floor, then without taking a look back he dashed towards the purple barrier. Bai Ming was confident that they would not pursue him.

Even though Bai Ming had defeated li wei, he didn't kill her mainly because he was wary against the Li jun. Right now both sides didn't have much enmity, but if Bai Ming were to kill Li wei, Bai Ming had no doubt that Li jun would come for Bai Ming's life. Bai Ming felt much apprehension towards Li jun, from his understanding if a young girl like Li wei had such frightening capabilities then how terrifyingly strong would that middle aged man be, he didn't dare gamble this time. Bai Ming's assumption was correct, Currently even through Li jun was focused on refining the bone heart flame and couldn't move from his place, he naturally had a trump card to protect himself, But li jun wasn't quite willing to use it on low level expert's like Bai Ming, it was mainly to fight against spirit realm experts. But if Bai Ming were to prove to be a threat, Li jun would use it without hesitation. Right now Bai Ming had displayed his prowess by defeating Li wei, but he showed no intentions on fighting a death match, this showed that he was different from one's that had attacked them before who were resolved to fight till their deaths.

Bai Ming had already suffered by underestimating his opponent once, he didn't want to commit the same mistake again. Even though he had much desire towards the bone heart flame, but his life was more precious. He knew that he currently didn't possess the ability to snatch it under their noses. Bai Ming was a daring individual but he knew when to take a step back.

"I don't have the ability to steal it, but I will not let you guys have a easy time either, wait for me to cross this barrier then I will destroy all the restrictions in this place, by then the clan elders and the clan heads from the three villages should arrive here." Bai Ming smiled coldly in his heart.

Don't forget Bai Ming already had 80% control over all the restrictions. He could enter and exit through any of the barriers, he could also let others pass through it or he could destroy it with just a simple thought.

Bai Ming's divine sense spread rapidly and enveloped his body, he was only a few meters away from crossing the purple barrier.

Suddenly, there was a sharp noise near his ears, approaching rapidly.

The hair all over Bai Ming's body stood on their end, an intense sense of danger was rising in his heart, he promptly turned around and looked, his pupils shrinking rapidly.

A massive flaming fist had gotten close to Bai Ming without him noticing anything, it slammed down at lightning speed, like a poisonous snake's assault.

Bai Ming could not dodge it in time, he was hit directly by the huge fist!

Bam!!

Bai Ming was sent flying like a piece of rotten flesh. Collapsing on the hard ground like a crashing meteor, creating a deep pit.

Bai Ming pathetically lay on the pit, fatally injured. He could not budge a bit. Warm blood rushed out from the countless wounds all over his body, the skin on his chest and abdomen were completely burnt, bones were fractured with some piercing into skin and flesh while some jutted out of the body.

Bai Ming violently coughed out mouthfuls of blood, his ears were buzzing as strong dizziness assaulted him, he tried to move his body; the treasure body shuddered but still lay down on the ground, its strength failing.

Bai Ming momentarily stared at the ceiling absentmindedly, before his heart turned heavy like a mountain rock was weighing on it.

"Why? Why did this happen? why would he attack me, he should be in crucial period of refining! Why would he focus his attention on an insignificant character like me!? this doesn't make sense! If he really wanted to get rid of me, why didn't he do it before when i was fighting against that serpent, he could have preserved it by acting on time, something is wrong!" Bai Ming was extremely surprised, but no matter how much he racked his brains he couldn't come to a conclusion.

At this time, Li jun's calm voice could be heard saying "Wei'er, quick come here and pay respects to senior."

Li wei was startled, her pearl like eyes showed confusion as they quickly scanned her surroundings but except for Bai Ming and her teacher there was no one else here, but she still followed her teachers words.

Li wei moved towards her teacher and noticed his gaze pointing to his front, Li Wei quickly followed Li jun's line of sight and immediately realised he was referring to the statue of the old man!

Li wei's eyebrows slightly rose, she became alert and respectfully said "Junior Li wei greets senior."

A divine sense was transmitted as Li wei heard a cold and detached voice in her head, "Oh, your name is li wei. Not bad, you ice elemental essence is around 200 years old, plus you have good grasp over your techniques. Even in the mainland your battle strength belongs to the middle tier of core formation martial artists."

Li wei hurriedly expressed her thanks, before she sent a voice transmission to Li jun wanting to clear her doubts.

But she was quickly intercepted by the voice again, "Hehe, don't disturb him. Let him refine the elemental flame essence peacefully, I will clear your doubts. It's been almost 300 years since I have had some human company. Now listen, my name is Huang Long, Divine astral sect's outer court elder."

"300 Years ago I had finally managed to kill the scumbag who had killed my little brother, when that scoundrel begged for mercy, I had got to know that there was 600 year old flame essence here, it was a part of some alchemists inheritance. After hearing the news I was delighted, you should be aware of how incredibly rare elemental essence are, that too a 600 year old flame essence! one couldn't imagine the joy I felt at that time. But only if I had know that it was trap all along, sigh.."

"Anyway, I began refining the flame essence everything was completely fine, but when I had completely refined it the hidden trap set inside me by that scum was activated, the flame essence went wild and began burning both my body and soul, it was devious and vile move but it was effective."

"Left with no choice, I had to turn into a living dead to preserve my life. But everything was worth it, now finally after 300 years of solitude I have a chance at resurrection. Listen girl, I have already discussed everything with your teacher. You see I was the one who brought that brat here, I need that brat to stay alive. He is going to be my new vessel."

"Currently, I am helping your teacher refine the flame essence, originally he would have needed 2 more hours to completely refine it but with my cooperation another 10 minutes is more than enough."

"Once your teacher refines this flame completely, I can leave this body and occupy that boy's body. And once that's done I will take both of you to the divine astral sect. Your teacher will enjoy a special status along with the benefits that come with it and you as his disciple will also be able to gain plenty of resources, This is my guarantee."

Li wei expressed great joy at hearing this but her heart was unfazed, "This old man talks a lot, but if what he says about him helping master refine this bone heart flame within ten minutes is true then its good, because master has already used his trump card, the 'volatile asura' but this move can only last for twenty minutes and it needs another 2 hours before it could be used again, if a spirit realm expert comes during that period it will be the end of us." Li wei glanced at the twelve meter long flaming human figure with eight giant arms, which stood peacefully near Bai Ming.

"As for him taking us to his sect and what not, does he think I am that stupid or has he gone senile from these years of loneliness. I really want to know why would he think that we would not kill him the moment master finishes refining the bone heart flame." Li wei thought silently as her eyes glanced at the formation below her teacher, she slightly nodded her head seeing her teachers progression.

"Senior, who is this senior they are referring to?" Bai Ming managed to sit in a meditative posture as he madly absorbed the nutrients of the medicinal pills, the flesh wounds were visibly healing but the internal injuries were still terrible, right now Bai Ming could only display about 3-4% of his strength. He only managed to hear the talk between li jun and li wei, but the discussion between li wei and Huang Long was done using their divine sense, hence he was totally unaware.

"So there isn't just two of them here, but the term greet senior indicates that even this girl was unaware of this 'seniors' presence and why is this creature not finishing me off, do they think it's unnecessary or do they have some other plans.." Bai Ming tried his best to get a clear look on Li wei and her master, he was currently in a deep pit so he had to arduously crawl out.

Once he got out of the pit, he cautiously looked at his surroundings. The asura was peacefully standing calmly observing Bai Ming, Bai Ming knew that if it wanted, it could crush him like a insignificant bug.

Next, Bai Ming's tough gaze landed on the pair of teacher and student, his pupils immediately shrunk to pin sizes.

"The formation..he is suddenly so close to refining the flame essence, it has to be that seniors work, he must be hiding somewhere." Bai Ming's heart became colder every passing second, he was in critical danger. His life and death depended on someone else's hands, this was something Bai Ming definitely could not tolerate.

"Looks like I can only gamble!" Bai Ming's eyes were ablaze with fighting spirit. The greater the danger was, the tougher was Bai Ming's spirit. Even in such a deadly situation he had not given up, instead deep within his heart he felt truly alive.
