Chapter 977: Chapter 977: The Bone of Life

"Please, help me amputate all my limbs."

Li Ziyue said very calmly, her determined gaze falling on Zhou Xiaoyun as she made her request succinctly.

At this moment, the Yin Sha Qi was swiftly corrupting Li Ziyue’s limbs, slowly starting to rot from where the shackles were.

"What did you say? Amputate your limbs?!"

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Li Ziyue in extreme astonishment, thinking he had heard wrong, and sought confirmation once more.

"Yes, haven’t you said that the Yin Sha Qi will continue to erode a person’s vitality, and in the end, not only the limbs can’t be saved, but it will also threaten one’s life."

Li Ziyue looked at Zhou Xiaoyun and spoke seriously.

Her expression was as if it was someone else’s limbs that were to be amputated, not hers.

Zhou Xiaoyun immediately felt perplexed, as the woman before him was so decisive, asking to have her limbs severed without even a frown.

You know, even with their abilities, if their limbs were completely severed, they could still barely move about, not affecting daily life.

But as a woman, shouldn’t she care most about her appearance?

To chop off her limbs, this was different from death—more painful than that.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Li Ziyue and confirmed again.

After all, he was now under Lin Chen’s command, and if Li Ziyue regretted her decision later and blamed him for it, that would be bad.

"Hurry up and amputate; do you have a better idea in mind?"

Li Ziyue glanced at Zhou Xiaoyun contemptuously; it was her limbs that were to be severed, not his.

"Have you really thought this through?"

Zhou Xiaoyun asked flatly, ready to swing his sword and amputate Li Ziyue’s limbs.

"Hold on!"

However, just as Zhou Xiaoyun’s Sharp Sword was about to fall, Li Ziyue suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Hmph, you changed your mind pretty quickly. If I hadn’t struck just in time, you’d be regretting it now."

"I knew you’d regret it, so I didn’t strike too quickly."

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Li Ziyue and said flatly.

Li Ziyue rolled her eyes at him.

"Who’s regretting? I just forgot to take an elixir, that’s all."

After saying that, Li Ziyue took out an unknown elixir, swallowed it in one gulp, and then her gaze fell on Zhou Xiaoyun again.

"Come on, amputate!"

Li Ziyue exclaimed, showing no fear of her limbs being amputated.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyun felt respect for Li Ziyue’s decisiveness.

Then, his sword rose and fell, and Sword Light flashed as Li Ziyue’s limbs were severed.

However, just as Zhou Xiaoyun was about to treat Li Ziyue, he was surprised to find that not much fresh blood flowed out from her amputated limbs, and they were regrowing at a visible speed, forming new limbs.

In just a few seconds, Li Ziyue’s limbs had fully regenerated.

"What’s going on? What Secret Technique did you use to regenerate severed limbs?!"

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Li Ziyue’s intact limbs in shock, asking in disbelief.

You see, although there are some Demonic Techniques in the Red Soul Hall that allow for limb regeneration, Zhou Xiaoyun doesn’t possess them; only the powerful ancestors have such Secret Techniques.

And even then, the speed of limb regrowth was never as astonishing as Li Ziyue’s.

"What’s the big fuss? It’s just the effect of the Lifeblood Bone Tempering Pill."

Li Ziyue looked at Zhou Xiaoyun’s surprised expression, a smug smile appearing at the corner of her mouth as she explained lightly.

She herself had been just as shocked as Zhou Xiaoyun when she first learned that Lin Chen had such an elixir.

After her limbs regrew, Li Ziyue dug a hole and buried the amputated limbs.

Those limbs, corrupted by the Yin Sha Qi, would probably become bones in no time.

Li Ziyue looked at her newly grown limbs and indeed felt she should thank Lin Chen.

After all, that Blood Transforming Bone Regeneration Pill was obtained from Lin Chen.

Ever since their last contest, Li Ziyue had felt discontented with Lin Chen and had opposed him at every turn.

However, as time went by, an unusual bond formed between them.

Lin Chen also understood that Li Ziyue harbored no malice towards him, so when entering the Grey Marsh Plain this time, he sold some elixirs and Talisman Inscriptions to everyone.

The Blood Transforming Bone Regeneration Pill Li Ziyue had was obtained after pestering Lin Chen.

Lin Chen couldn’t stand her nagging and gave in to her with the elixir.

"So, it was the effect of the elixir you just took? Such a miraculous effect is indeed rare; do you have any more?"

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Li Ziyue expectantly.

Li Ziyue shook her head.

"What do you want with this elixir?"

Li Ziyue asked curiously.

"Just now, I was infected by the severe Yin Sha Qi poison from Li Chu."

Zhou Xiaoyun said and turned away from Li Ziyue, his left arm had a huge wound that was already purpling, being eroded by the Yin Sha Qi continuously.

Li Ziyue looked at Zhou Xiaoyun, her expression grave, and felt conflicted internally.

You know, the Blood Transforming Bone Regeneration Pill was precious, she had obtained only two from Lin Chen and had taken one herself just now, indeed she still had one left.

But, should she give away a life-saving elixir at such a critical moment?

"Never mind, considering your help just now, I’ll give it to you."

Li Ziyue said and took out the Lifeblood Bone Tempering Pill, passing it to Zhou Xiaoyun.

"Thank you, how much is the elixir worth? I’ll exchange it for Spirit Stones and Treasures."

Zhou Xiaoyun gratefully took the elixir, wanting to make a trade with treasures.

"If you really didn’t deceive me and have submitted under Lin Chen’s command, then this elixir was obtained from him after all, it’s like saving one of his own. You don’t need to thank me. Besides, you saved my life just now, so we’re even."

Li Ziyue said lightly.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyun’s expression showed shock; it turned out the elixir came from Lin Chen’s possession. He felt that submitting to Lin Chen might actually be a wise decision.

At the very least, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Now thinking back, the fact that he once considered killing Lin Chen seemed utterly laughable. Not only could Lin Chen break the Black Demons’ restrictions on him and plant a new Divine Soul Restriction, the other abilities he had were unknown. His own desire to defeat Lin Chen was nothing short of a fool’s dream.
