Chapter 839 - 687: Golden Finger Manifestation
As soon as these words fell, Eunuch Yang’s attacks became even more fierce, crashing down like overwhelming tidal waves.
Blood trickled from the corner of Prince Zhenyuan’s mouth as he felt the injuries on his body growing heavier.
He now had to contend with both Eunuch Yang and the overwhelming obsession, while being cautious not to exacerbate his injuries amidst Eunuch Yang’s assault.
Both physically and mentally, he was enduring dual torment.
But amidst such dual torment, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure.
Eunuch Yang’s offensive grew more ferocious, yet his heart was filled with cold laughter.
He knew the situation in front of him was advantageous.
Prince Zhenyuan wouldn’t last much longer.
His current persistence relied solely on sheer tenacity.
By simply killing Prince Zhenyuan, he could unleash endless attacks against Qin An.
By then, not only could he cost the Daqian Kingdom a Manifest Saint Realm master, but he could also cause the Savior Qin An to die here.
If this matter is accomplished, after the Heavenly Demon descends, the world would become scorched earth.
He would then receive a reward from the Heavenly Demon and regain his manhood.
That was his lifelong dream.
Manshenti was now connected with the strange heart, a grave expression surfaced in his eyes.
He hadn’t anticipated the situation would develop to this extent.
What seemed almost foolproof had an unexpected traitor, and the traitor was now playing a significant role.
Judging by the circumstances, Prince Zhenyuan probably wouldn’t last much longer.
Manshenti pondered, "What can be done to make the Savior quicken his pace?"
He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure anything out.
Because this matter depended solely on Qin An.
If Qin An is fast, the matter can be resolved; if slow, Prince Zhenyuan won’t hold out, leading only to death.
There’s no other way.
Manshenti sighed deeply, suddenly gritting his teeth: "Release a portion of obsession, allowing you some relief; if you can kill him first, it’ll reduce the Savior’s pressure."
At this moment, Manshenti made the most critical decision.
He knew the pressure on Qin An was immense but believed he could slowly erode the obsession.
This side could therefore release some obsession, making the pressure on Qin An greater and lesser here.
If Prince Zhenyuan could stall Eunuch Yang a little longer, it would allow Qin An to eliminate more of the obsession.
It’s an equal exchange; there’s no other choice now.
Prince Zhenyuan took a deep breath.
Having emerged from countless battles as a Manifest Saint Realm master, he had more experience and decisiveness than other masters from various forces; he knew this was the only viable solution.
Without hesitation, he released a portion of obsession, wielding a long spear to fight Eunuch Yang.
Various Secret Techniques converged within him; Prince Zhenyuan seemed like a blazing flame capable of incinerating everything.
Eunuch Yang showed no mercy, driving the Void Essence with full force; surging yin energy erupted everywhere, contesting Prince Zhenyuan’s fiery aura.
Both sides’ attacks became increasingly fierce, unexpectedly showing a trend towards balance.
But both Prince Zhenyuan and Manshenti knew this so-called balance wouldn’t last long.
It wouldn’t be long before the scales of victory tilt towards Eunuch Yang, eventually annihilating them.
The best plan now is to hope Qin An speeds up.
The quicker Qin An resolves the obsession and controls the form created by it, the sooner he can eliminate Eunuch Yang.
...
As a stalemate ensued here, problems also arose on Qin An’s side.
Initially, Qin An was condensing the invisible Dharma Aspect, warding off the attacks of the obsession while eroding them.
But just as he felt everything was going smoothly, the obsession suddenly became incredibly powerful, its strength doubling.
In an instant, the invisible Dharma Aspect was filled with countless cracks, seemingly ready to dissipate at any moment.
Qin An quickly recovered, then roared, driving the Void Essence to the limit, filling the cracks in the invisible Dharma Aspect.
The cracks vanished gradually, becoming more resilient.
Yet for Qin An, the current rate of Void Essence consumption far exceeded its replenishment.
His Void Essence was visibly decreasing.
"What’s going on? Did something happen outside?"
Qin An wondered inwardly.
He suspected it was highly likely.
If nothing happened outside, Prince Zhenyuan and Manshenti could definitely block the obsession.
With them blocking it, his own pressure wouldn’t suddenly increase.
"Right now, regardless of what happened, these obsessions must be resolved first!"
Qin An waved his sleeve and a bottle of elixir appeared in his hand.
These were compound elixirs; during his time in the capital, he had refined many.
Now, after a large number of elixirs went down, they instantly transformed into endless Void Essence, replenishing the earlier consumption.
But the Void Essence continued depleting.
Qin An swallowed another bottle of compound elixir.
At this pace, he could only hold out for another hour at most.
"I have to think of a way." Qin An thought to himself, his gaze sweeping through the darkness ahead, "Instead of dying slowly here, I should search for other solutions!"
After contemplating briefly, Qin An decided not to linger here merely consuming the obsession, but to decide to launch an offensive.
