MJWCATFPITWOC Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Revival

Facing a prolonged and fierce battle, the disciples gradually felt their strength failing. As time passed, their weaknesses of inexperience and limited cultivation became increasingly apparent.

In contrast, those demon beasts that had wreaked havoc for many years were still full of energy. Their physical strength was several times greater than ordinary people, making them incredibly formidable.

“Ahhh!!” A scream came from the disciples. Someone had been hit hard and was crying out in pain.

“Are you okay!”

“Come help me! I can’t hold on any longer!”

“Same here!”

Everyone was calling for help, but at this moment, they were already trapped in a fiery hell. No one could come to their rescue.

Shen Yucheng watched the scene unfold. His tightly clenched fist suddenly loosened. Mo Yifeng noticed this subtle change. Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Yucheng was enveloped in golden light.

Since forming the Dao Companion Contract, Mo Yifeng could once again see those thousands upon thousands of golden threads flying in the air. No matter how many times he saw it, it was still so shocking.

The golden threads rapidly scattered, instantly attaching themselves to thousands of disciples.

Mo Yifeng said anxiously, “Are you really going to do this?”

Shen Yucheng did not answer, only responding with his actions.

Those disciples who had been on the verge of death suddenly punched like the wind, moved nimbly, and were filled with surging spiritual power. Almost at the same time, every demon beast was sent flying several yards away by the disciple in front of them.

The disciples were stunned for a moment, staring blankly at their hands, unable to believe the change before their eyes.

Some people thought that they had awakened to the true meaning of life at the moment of death and finally stimulated their potential. However, the disciples with higher cultivation levels noticed a strange spiritual power quietly integrating into their bodies, constantly replenishing their spiritual power and physical strength.

They looked around, shocked. Such a massive amount of spiritual power was enough to restore the fighting power of thousands of disciples. Such a provider was no ordinary person.

Just what kind of great power had descended to save the world?

Not far away, Fu Lingxuan and others had already witnessed all of this. After arranging logistical support, they immediately rushed to the front line, wanting to lend a helping hand.

On the other side, Lingyi, who was at the forefront, looked at the scene before her and couldn’t help but open her mouth wide: “…Huh?”

Lying in front of her were several demon beasts, all of which she had just knocked down with one move.

Killing several with one move was the first time she had ever seen this.

She pondered, could it be that her talent had finally awakened?

But after noticing the strangeness within her body, that familiar spiritual power, she immediately looked up at Shen Yucheng –

“There are so many disciples here… is he crazy? He’s giving away spiritual power like it’s worthless.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she kicked down two ape-like demon beasts.

The battle was completely reversed at this moment. Originally, only the demon beasts could unleash attacks endlessly. Now, the disciples no longer had to calculate the consumption of spiritual power and physical strength, and could attack with all their might.

In a short period of time, the cultivators gained a clear advantage.

“Is it the buff from Immortal Master Fu and Headmaster Li’s talisman formations? I feel like the spiritual power in my body is gushing out like a spring, so amazing.”

“It should be them, right? Only they can do such high-level techniques.”

The disciples fought while whispering to each other, but they didn’t realize that they had been locked onto by a demon beast behind them. The demon beast swung its giant fist and smashed down in the middle of the two, creating a loud noise that attracted the attention of nearby cultivators.

Someone recognized them and hurriedly called out their names, but dust flew everywhere, and there was no response.

Judging from the intensity of the attack just now, it was almost impossible for the two to survive. This scene sounded an alarm in the hearts of the disciples, pulling them back to reality from the excitement of gaining spiritual power. This was still a battlefield, and a single mistake could lead to death.

But before everyone could recover from the shock, they heard two coughs coming from the dust.

“Cough cough… what happened just now?”

“Cough… how would I know if you ask me…”

Before he could finish speaking, a heavy object crashed down. As the dust dissipated, a large pit appeared between the two, created by the demon beast’s smash, and they had just dodged to the edge of the attack. And the spiritual swords in their hands were emitting golden light, deeply piercing the demon beast’s heart.

The two hadn’t figured out what was going on yet. “Just now, I felt my body move on its own, directly dodging the attack and counterattacking.”

“…Me too, I didn’t even have time to think, my body just reacted on its own.”

The disciples were astonished, but with demon beasts in front of them, they had no time to think deeply. They could only temporarily put this strangeness aside and continue to fight.

However, such an experience did not only happen to them. More and more disciples experienced similar situations.

Whenever they were in danger, their bodies could quickly react, dodging all dangers in a clever way, as if an experienced senior was secretly guiding them, helping them avoid fatal blows.

With such a blessing, the disciples were no longer afraid of injury and spiritual power exhaustion, and boldly charged into battle.

However, all of this came at a price.

Shen Yucheng coughed, and although he tried to hide it, the blood at the corner of his mouth still spilled out uncontrollably.

He quickly wiped away the blood, but was still noticed by the person he least wanted to find out.

Mo Yifeng quietly looked at him, with no complex emotions in his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his movements incomparably gentle.

“Don’t hide it. If you were afraid of me saying something, you shouldn’t have done this in the first place.”

Shen Yucheng knew that he was referring to forcibly distributing his own spiritual power to thousands of disciples, and even controlling their bodies to dodge fatal attacks in times of crisis.

He also knew that this approach was too forced. Judging from the consumption just now, he could only last for another quarter of an hour at most.

But he had no choice. This unprepared and bitter battle was caused by them. He couldn’t just watch innocent disciples die in vain.

Just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to hold on, a warm and powerful hand suddenly gripped his hand tightly.

“Dao companions share spiritual power. How much longer can two people last together?”

Shen Yucheng stared blankly at him, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. It wasn’t until Mo Yifeng turned to look at him that he whispered, “…Another quarter of an hour.”

Mo Yifeng nodded. “Okay.” The hand below gripped even tighter.

The words that were about to come to his mouth were forcibly swallowed back by Shen Yucheng. He looked back at the battlefield, holding Mo Yifeng’s warm and firm hand.

He understood Mo Yifeng’s intentions.

If it were Mo Yifeng in this situation today, he would have done the same.

After the two joined forces to inject spiritual power, the battle situation became more and more favorable to the cultivators. Although the demon beasts possessed an immortal body, they had already been severely damaged after being violently attacked by the disciples. Even if they could recover, they could not return to their peak state. Some even fell again less than a second after being resurrected.

After a while, only three or four of the strongest demon beasts remained on the field. Faced with the siege of the cultivators, they gradually couldn’t resist.

Shen Yucheng was covered in sweat and panting like a cow. Mo Yifeng’s situation was slightly better, only his temples were slightly wet.

“It should be about enough like this now. Let Fu Lingxuan and the others finish off the remaining trash,” Mo Yifeng said calmly, looking down.

…

After a moment, there was no response from his side. Mo Yifeng turned his head in confusion, only to see Shen Yucheng panting weakly, his eyes unfocused. He subconsciously supported the other’s back, and was surprised to find that Shen Yucheng’s outer robe had already been soaked with sweat. This amount of sweating was obviously abnormal.

He initially thought that Shen Yucheng was only over-exhausted because he was leading the spiritual power output, but when he grabbed the other’s hand, he immediately realized something was wrong.

He stared at their clasped hands, and then looked at Shen Yucheng’s pale face.

He couldn’t believe it, his voice tinged with a tremor that he himself didn’t notice: “You… why…”

Shen Yucheng’s lips were bloodless.

Mo Yifeng turned him around and roared, “Why do you have to do this! When did you start…”

Shen Yucheng’s face became even paler, and his eyes gradually lost focus.

“Why did you cut off my spiritual power…”

Mo Yifeng’s voice was so low that it could barely be heard.

He should have noticed earlier.

There were thousands of disciples on the scene. If the two really jointly outputted spiritual power, it was impossible to only consume that small portion of his.

And looking at Shen Yucheng’s appearance at this moment, it was clear that he had been relying on himself to hold on until now.

Just how much spiritual power had he overdrawn?

Mo Yifeng didn’t dare to think about it.

The hand holding Shen Yucheng’s shoulder began to tremble slightly.

It felt like everything had returned to the starting point.

Whether it was ten years ago or ten years later, no matter how much his cultivation improved…

The ending was still like this.

A trace of consciousness flashed through Shen Yucheng’s scattered gaze. He saw Mo Yifeng’s expression at this moment and was stunned for a moment.

Mo Yifeng’s eyes were red, and a shimmering bead quietly slid from his eyelashes. Perhaps it was because of the Dao Companion Contract, he could clearly feel the sharp pain coming from his heart.

That kind of pain was much deeper than the suffering he had endured during his tribulation.

Shen Yucheng slowly raised his hand, wanting to touch his cheek, but unfortunately, he failed to caress it.

He finally couldn’t hold on any longer, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his whole body instantly losing strength, and falling from mid-air.

Mo Yifeng’s eyes widened, and he caught him the moment before he landed: “Yucheng Ge!” He frantically called out to the person in his arms, but only saw that Shen Yucheng had already lost consciousness.

He immediately examined his pulse, and found that the pulse was so weak that it could barely be felt, as if it would disappear at any moment.

“How could this be…” Logically speaking, exhausting spiritual power shouldn’t cause such a serious reaction.

At this time, Bai Guchen’s voice rang out from behind him, his tone light: “It seems like it’s almost time. I’ve been waiting for this day… for too long.”

“Clang—!” The sound of a long sword being drawn.

The surroundings suddenly became terribly quiet.

After a moment, “Why don’t you chop it down?” Bai Guchen asked coldly.

A crimson-gold long sword hung in front of his throat, only a hair’s breadth away from his skin. As long as he moved, blood would be shed.

Mo Yifeng’s voice was icy: “What did you do to him?”

Bai Guchen smiled: “Don’t be so nervous, I just gave him a pill that is very ‘helpful’ to the body.”

The crimson-gold sword approached.

“Explain clearly, what is it!”

Just then, Shen Yucheng suddenly coughed violently, unable to stop himself at all. Seeing this, Bai Guchen showed an almost crazed expectation on his face: “You’ll know soon enough.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he soared into the air and deployed a huge blood array. Mo Yifeng recognized what it was with just one glance.

Bai Guchen smiled extremely happily: “This is a spirit summoning array made with your blood.”

The array emitted a blood-red light, illuminating the entire battlefield. Mo Yifeng protected Shen Yucheng and stood in the center of the array. There was obviously something wrong with this array. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take people away, but Shen Yucheng in his arms at this moment was like a weight of ten thousand pounds, and he couldn’t move at all.

“How great, Mo Yifeng, no wonder Shen Yucheng loves you so much,” Bai Guchen laughed, “But now, let’s see if you can continue to be so great.”

The blood light became more and more dazzling.

Shen Yucheng, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.

“Yucheng Ge!” Mo Yifeng immediately turned all his attention to him.

Shen Yucheng stared at him motionlessly, his eyes going from empty to focused, staring intently at Mo Yifeng the entire time.

Until the light returned to his eyes, he moved his eyeballs, slightly moved his limbs, and finally slowly stood up.

Mo Yifeng watched all of this, but couldn’t say a word.

Bai Guchen ignored Mo Yifeng and looked straight into Shen Yucheng’s eyes.

These eyes were completely different from just now. They were the gaze that he was so familiar with, the person he had been thinking about day and night for many years.

“Baili.”
