Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 187: Saving Guan Xing And Qiu Yu

As soon as he activated the Nether Hell Furnace Art, the dead bodies inside the furnace started burning wildly. The fire rose to the lightning barrier. But, it didn't affect the barrier instead it collided and remained there.

Slowly, the fire started calming down but at this exact moment, Lan Ming threw the drop of Phoenix Blood into the fire and the fire exploded once again. This time the phoenix's blood kept the fire burning for a long time.

At the same time, the red energy burst out of the flame and reached out to Lan Ming. This energy was not only dense but also filled with intense healing factors. As soon as the energy touched Lan Ming, he touched Guan Xing and Qiu Yu bodies.

With his intense control, he transferred the energy drawing into him to their bodies. Though it took a while for them to absorb since they were not conscious. The energy kept pouring into him for ten minutes and he kept pouring that energy to them for twenty minutes.

Only then, was the entire fire extinguisher and only ashes were left behind. As soon as the fire extinguisher and the energy no longer comes out, he turns his head at Tan Ge and shouts.

"Now!"

Getting his signal, the bolt of lightning flashed in his eyes while Chu Xieyi rushed near them alongside like Qin. And, Lan Ming ran away.

Bang! Whoosh!

A bolt of lightning struck the ground and Tan Ge figured disappeared.

One second passed, he had already run around the house ten times. Until five seconds passed, he ran around the house fifty times. The moment it became 5.05 seconds, he reached behind Qin and clutch his shoulders.

"Divine Lightning Scripture- Energy Transformation"

As soon as Qin felt his shoulder touched by someone, he activated the Divine Lightning Scripture. The next moment, he felt the lightning powerful following through his body. It was so swift and so addicting that Qin felt like devouring it for himself.

But, he quickly controlled his own thoughts, and the power of the lightning transformed into pure energy. This energy had completely replaced the speed or any leftover attributes of the lightning. As soon as he transformed the energy, he puts both of his hands on her back.

Chu Xieyi instantly activates her Nine Heaven Goddess Soul. This soul instantly allowed her to control the law of Ice. And, then, she started gathering energy into her palm. But, as soon it reaches her palm, it started letting out white gas.

Chu Xieyi crouched down and placed her palms on their forehead. Slowly, their body started freezing. A thin layer of ice covered their face and moved to their legs. It continued until their entire body was frozen with a thin sheet of ice.

As soon as she froze them, she turned around and said "Put them away!"

Qin removed his hands from her back and transferred two blocks of ice inside his mysterious space.

Thud!

Behind Qin, Tan Ge fell to the ground while closing his eyes. Qin instantly turned around and checked his condition.

"Is he okay?" Tan San rushed in front of him and asked.

Qin sat down and nodded his head.

"He is just sleeping."

Although Qin didn't do much, just transforming nearly the amount of energy that was ten times more than the qi inside the Secret Realm was not easy. He had to do everything fast. So, it's not about the amount but the speed to transform the lightning energy into pure energy.

Tan San nodded his head and looked at a few guards "Tell the chefs to make Grand Meal and also make the extra barbecue of five owsen."

The guard was slightly surprised but he still nodded his head and walked away. Slowly, the crowd moved away.

"Five owsen, for him?" Qin pointed at Tan Ge with surprise and asked.

Tan San nodded his head and said "It seems he didn't tell you. If he doesn't even get enough meals after using his lightning, his lifespan will be used as the stamina. And, he constantly burns a lot of stamina. We have gathered hundreds of ox and buffaloes for him alone."

"Of course, he is a genius and worth such investment."

At this moment, Zhao Tan rushed near Tan Ge and checked his pulses. His expression sank as he asked, "How much can he run without having a meal?"

"Using the Lightning to run at that marvelous speed, he burns the ten times stamina than a normal cultivator every time he uses his Godspeed. If he can't feed at least a buffalo after using it more than twice, his body will start using lifespan as stamina on its own."

"Don't tell me he overused his lightning inside the Secret Realm?" Tan San's expression sank as he hurriedly checked Tan Ge's other pulse.

"Hhow.. can it be? He should have more than that. HOW COULD HE LOSE FIFTY YEARS OF LIFESPAN IN JUST OVER FIVE DAYS?" Tan San screamed at Zhao Tan as if Tan Ge was his own son. Qin looked at Zhao Tan with confusion as well.

At this moment, everyone turned silent.

"Family Head, he has been using his Godspeed to save us time and time again." Tan Shui replied from afar. Her voice was incredibly low and filled with sorrow.

Tan San tilts his head with confusion and asked "You knew this. And, you didn't even bother stopping him?"

"I tried but he forced me to keep quiet. He said we should look at the bigger picture. And, because we were constantly falling into deadly dangers, he had to step up and save us. Hhe.. said, if any one of them gets seriously injured, we all might die inside." Tan Shui continued but she kept her head low.

Hearing her words, everyone looked at Tan Ge with a strange expression. At this moment, The Great Elder slowly walked forward and picked up Tan Ge.

"When he was ten, he was tasked with the responsibility to survive inside a deadly tower for five years. And, he did survive but at the cost of his friends. After coming out, he told me that he will never let his friend die on the battlefield even if it costs his life."

"All of you don't need to blame yourself! He has his own morals and that is how he lives. He is just a stupid brat who has been his close friend sacrificing themselves for him to survive many times. Those things from the past still haunt him."

"That's why he did everything to keep you in your best situation."

Saying so, he walked towards the house and entered one of the rooms. He walked up to the bed and placed him on it. He sighed and patted Tan Ge's head.

"Boy, nobody blamed you for their deaths. Everyone who chose to go with you had already signed for their life and death situation."

Saying so, he slowly lifted. But, at this moment, there was something going on Tan Ge's mind.

At this moment, he was inside his own mind, trapped around the doors.

"Hello! Who is there?" Tan Ge couldn't help but shout. He tried to shout again and again but didn't get any response. He finally walked up to a door and opened it.

The ground was filled with sand. And, there was a huge group of children. They were walking carefree until the ground started shaking.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Bang!

As soon as the ground broke, a powerful metal worm burst out and swallowed a child. Everyone could only hear the scream of that child until the metal worm takes him back to the ground. At this moment, Tan Ge slammed the door close.

He slowly crouched down while laying his back on the wall. He crossed his arms around his legs as the tears came out of his eyes.

"Sorry, Tu... sorry!"

At this moment, Tan Ge realized it was another nightmare at a different place. This happens often. And, every time, the opening changes. At first, it directly appeared in his dreams but now, it often comes in different forms. Sometimes, even his friends start haunting him, blaming him for their deaths.

But, he knows those weren't his friends. He is alive and his friends were the only reason. Everyone sacrificed themselves so that he can survive. And, he did. He reached the fourth floor and finally came out.

At that moment, he got the rewards for crossing those floors. He couldn't take it. He denied it because he wasn't worthy to take the rewards that he got after his friends sacrificed. Originally, his reward wasn't Godspeed Mode.

It could never be. Because even those who crossed the higher floor can't get such rewards. It was his Will to go out without taking rewards that moved Mike. And, Mike bestowed the Godspeed Mode to him. Originally, Tan Ge wasn't willing to take it but Mike forced it on him and kicked him out of the tower.

That's why Tan Ge didn't use the Godspeed Mode until he realized just how good others are. This sparked a mentality to get better.

And, the team that he had inside Secret Realm reminded himself of his previous team.

He traded the lives of thirty-five people before but this time, he succeed in keeping every one of them alive.

At least, he did succeed even if it was after leaving the Secret Realm.
