Faced with wolves ahead and tigers behind, Xu Fan had no time to hesitate.
The members of the Heavenly Witch Sect might well have mobilized everyone for the Corpse Nurturing Pill, Xu Fan thought.
Rather than hesitate here, it's better to enter the great hall early and search for an exit.
He led the way and headed directly into the great hall.
Upon entering the hall, Xu Fan's gaze went straight to the female corpse suspended in mid-air at the center of the hall!
Under the effect of the Corpse Nurturing Pill, Akiyama Tsuki was now completely enveloped in a layer of black mist!
Compared to before, the dangerous aura she exuded was now several times stronger.
Seeing the pair of blood-red eyes shining through the black mist made Xu Fan break out in a cold sweat.
Who knows how terrifying this creature would be if it fully resurrects?
"Alright, stop looking, let's hurry up and leave."
Steadying Asao Mai on his back, Xu Fan urged Igarashi with a word.
"Hmm."
Igarashi's mood was quite different from Xu Fan's; after all, the woman turning into a monster was the woman he deeply loved.
Moreover, he was the cause of all this mess.
With a complex look in his eyes, he walked directly to the deeper part of the hall.
"Hmm?"
Following Igarashi, Xu Fan walked into the deeper parts of the hall, suddenly frowning.
He stopped and took out the Seven Treasures Relic from his bosom.
In his palm, the Seven Treasures Relic flickered with Buddha's light, seemingly guiding Xu Fan.
"Why did you stop? The exit is still ahead."
While pondering what this could mean, Igarashi urged him.
"You go ahead. I'll be right there."
Looking at the Seven Treasures Relic in his hand, Xu Fan said to Igarashi.
His intuition told him that what the Seven Treasures Relic was indicating could be something extraordinary.
Spending some time researching might yield unexpected surprises.
"..."
"Alright, but hurry, it's not safe here."
Realizing he couldn't persuade Xu Fan anymore, Igarashi looked at him once more, agreed, and walked away alone.
In an instant, Xu Fan's gaze returned to the Seven Treasures Relic in his hand.
"Could it be sensing something?"
Muttering to himself, Xu Fan began to move around with the Seven Treasures Relic.
Soon, he discovered that as he moved toward Akiyama Tsuki, the relic's Buddha's light grew even brighter.
"Damn..."
Clearly, the Seven Treasures Relic was guiding him toward Akiyama Tsuki, but approaching that corpse which could awaken anytime seemed suicidal.
"I'll risk it!"
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Fan decided to take the plunge!
Clutching the Seven Treasures Relic, he sprinted towards the high platform at the center of the hall!
Getting closer to the platform, Xu Fan felt the oppressive force of the black mist surrounding Akiyama Tsuki even more intensely!
This black mist might even surpass his Protective Spirit Qi...
Holding his breath, Xu Fan cautiously approached the stone bed beneath Akiyama Tsuki.
When he reached the stone bed, the Seven Treasures Relic in his hand stopped flickering.
"This?"
Gazing at the stone bed beneath him, Xu Fan was perplexed.
Was the Seven Treasures Relic leading him here to indicate that this bed was a treasure?
"Damn it..."
Xu Fan couldn't help but curse.
The stone bed weighed thousands of pounds at least!
Did it expect him to carry it away?
"No way..."
Suddenly realizing something, Xu Fan quickly activated the golden light in his right pupil.
Soon, the stone bed before him became transparent, and Xu Fan discovered its secrets.
With a palm strike to the center of the stone bed, he channeled his Spiritual Power, triggering the mechanism!
The stone bed slid outward, revealing hidden contents.
Xu Fan's heart raced as he saw what was inside.
Inside the stone bed, a small box held a jade-green elixir.
The life essence emanating from this elixir was extraordinarily rich!
Just the fragrance was enough to invigorate one's spirit!
"Could it really be...?"
There was no doubt in his mind that this elixir was the Divine Medicine that could bring the dead back to life.
He thought this great hall only housed the Corpse Nurturing Pill, but beneath this stone bed was something even more.
Holding his breath, Xu Fan picked up the elixir.
At that moment, a smile appeared on his lips.
With this elixir, Asao Mai could be revived!
"Look out!"
Overcome with joy, he suddenly heard Igarashi's alarmed shout from afar!
Snapping back to reality, Xu Fan quickly looked up!
What he saw horrified him!
Under the effect of the Corpse Nurturing Pill, Akiyama Tsuki had fully transformed into a corpse!
She was now floating in the air, shrouded in black mist! Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on Xu Fan!
Under that intense murderous gaze, Xu Fan felt the temperature around him plummet, as if he were plunged into a freezer, making it hard to move!
Not good!
Suddenly, two blood arrows shot out from Akiyama Tsuki's eyes!
If struck by her move, it could very well be fatal!
Xu Fan bit his tongue to regain clarity, promptly summoning his Protective Spirit Qi, and fled from the high platform!
By this time, he was exhausted, having no energy to fight the freshly awakened monster, he could only run!
Not far ahead, Igarashi had already opened an exit to escape the underground palace. Xu Fan summoned all his remaining strength and dashed towards Igarashi's location!
All he could do was pray that the monster, having just awakened, wouldn't be too powerful!
Roar!
Before Xu Fan could run too far, an enraged roar echoed behind him!
The roar caused the entire hall to tremble!
The murderous intent from behind grew increasingly intense as Xu Fan ran and glanced backward!
He saw Akiyama Tsuki transform into a black mist and chase after him!
In his current state, burdened with Asao Mai on his back, he was no match for this monster!
The distance between him and Akiyama Tsuki rapidly closed!
Soon, the black mist caught up behind Xu Fan!
From within the mist, a claw steeped in blood energy extended out!
Damn it!
That claw strike could tear Asao Mai's body to shreds!
Having finally found the medicine to revive her, if her body was destroyed, his efforts would be in vain!
Clenching his teeth, Xu Fan abruptly stopped!
Summoning his entire force of Spiritual Power, Xu Fan turned around to confront the blood claw with a palm strike!
