Chapter 85: Mystery of the Spirit Marrow
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This person’s heart had been shattered, but he could still walk as if he was alive?
It couldn’t be that his heart was on the right and not the left, right?
However, Lin Yan was eager to catch up to him not because he was strangely not dead.
Instead, the moment Lin Yan approached him, the Golden Bodhi Scripture in his mind trembled slightly, reminding him that there was something the Nine Wisdom Bodhi needed nearby!
It was obvious that there was something similar to Spirit Marrow on this commander.
Therefore, he chased after him and left the others’ sight so that he could remove his disguise and change back to Lin Yan. Although it was very likely that Eldest Senior Brother had already discovered his identity…
He chased the man all the way from Instruction Yard to Dragon Yard.
…..
Suddenly, Li Qu, who was running in front, trembled violently. Then, he staggered uncontrollably and fell out. He rolled twice on the ground and lay on the ground.
Lin Yan was not surprised. He chased carefully to his side and saw that his body was twitching uncontrollably.
Other than his chest that was bleeding non-stop, he was also vomiting foul poisonous blood in large mouthfuls.
He let out a faint roar. “Poison, poison…
At that time, the mouthful of blood that Lin Yan spat on his face had completely dissolved the poison of the Poison Pearl. It was much more poisonous than the blood that he spat on the other armored commander’s face.
This person smashed his face against the saber and created a deep wound. Poisonous blood seeped out.
In addition, he was severely injured and could not use his blood energy to detoxify himself, so he fell immediately.
Lin Yan rolled his tongue. The Poison Pearl in his mouth had already melted.
Without a knife beside him, Lin Yan raised his foot and stomped fiercely on the commander’s neck.
It caused a huge pit to appear on the ground behind him. His neck was completely concave into a sharp angle. Only then did he loosen his feet and squat down to quickly search up and down.
However, after taking off all his armor and clothes, other than two bottles of Heart Severing Pills, there was nothing else. There was not even silver.
Lin Yan put away the Heart Severing Pill and frowned slightly. The Golden Bodhi Scripture was still constantly reminding him that there was an external spiritual substance nearby.
It couldn’t be in his body, right?
Lin Yan reached out and quickly checked his entire body.
“Huh?”
When he approached the man’s chest, the trembling of the Golden Bodhi Scripture increased slightly.
“It’s really in his body!”
Lin Yan’s gaze focused on the depression in this person’s chest.
There were many iron armor fragments embedded there, and the body was badly mutilated, making it impossible to see clearly.
Lin Yan frowned and reached in to push the fragments away. When he moved the iron armor fragments away and looked down, Lin Yan suddenly held his breath.
Under the fragments, in the midst of blood, a heart that had shattered into a few pieces was scattered in his chest like a withered gray fruit.
“Therefore, his heart didn’t grow on the right side and was really broken. However…”
Lin Yan’s scalp tingled slightly as a strange chill crawled up his spine.
Between the broken pieces of the heart, there were actually countless translucent mucus like silk intertwined and strung together!
It was as if in a movie that Lin Yan had seen in his previous life, where the Spider-man used spider silk to glue the cracked hull together.
However, the threads in the man’s chest were much more disgusting than spider silk. They were sticky and slippery, similar to egg white and tree sap. It was like some strange secretion or glue that connected the heart together.
“Is this still a human organ?”
Lin Yan’s gaze converged as he reached into it. Enduring the sticky and disgusting juice, he fumbled around and quickly touched something that was as hard as bone.
He grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out. He pulled out a piece of bone that looked like a Spirit Marrow, mixed with a piece of heart.
This Spirit Marrow was larger than the one he had before. Its luster was much more exquisite, and it was covered in golden patterns like leaves.
Now, Lin Yan could already tell that this was not a pattern, but a strange golden thread that could grow out of the Spirit Marrow.
They seemed to be alive as they grew densely from the Spirit Marrow. They were like sharp tentacles that pierced deeply into the flesh of the heart. They seemed to be squirming and connecting the Spirit Marrow to the heart.
“What exactly is Spirit Marrow?! Could it be that Spirit Marrow is produced from a human body?!”
At this moment, Lin Yan felt the same as when he saw the magical scene of the Netherworld River in the underground black market. A deep strange feeling made him feel extremely divided.
No matter how one looked at it, this Spirit Marrow was incompatible with the simple and monotonous ancient world around it!
As the heart left his body, the golden threads that had pierced into the heart slowly dimmed, withered, and broke.
Around the Spirit Marrow, the meat that was originally closely connected to it fell down. Not long after, only a snow-white and flawless Spirit Marrow was quietly pinched at Lin Yan’s fingertip.
Lin Yan took a deep breath. Who cares!
He directly activated the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
In the next moment, the golden patterns on the Spirit Marrow in his hand lit up and slowly dimmed. An invisible substance was extracted and absorbed by the Golden Bodhi Scripture again.
The Spirit Marrow in his hand also turned into wrinkled and dry tree bark.
He opened the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
On the Nine Wisdom Bodhi, another aperture had been accumulated among the nine apertures. Moreover, more than half of the entire Nine Wisdom Bodhi had accumulated a golden halo. He estimated that as long as he accumulated a little more, he would be able to accumulate another aperture and gain the Three Wisdom Bodhi.
After putting away the withered Spirit Marrow again, Lin Yan quickly turned around and left.
In Dragon Yard, a lone wooden house that was temporarily uninhabited.
Mi Tai gently pushed open the door and tried his best to distinguish the voices around him.
The terrifying sounds of fighting just now had gradually stopped.
It seemed that the battle had stopped. No one knew who was alive or who was dead.
Recalling the scene just now, Mi Tai still had lingering fear.
A Tough Realm expert!
Strange giants!
There were also those elite soldiers. Every one of them was on par with him.
Those people had poison and sent troops. They had schemed well.
From the looks of it, they were clearly determined to take down Dragon Gate Pavilion!
Therefore, Dragon Gate Pavilion probably could not stop it.
At this thought, he immediately hid.
He had not been in Dragon Gate Pavilion for long, and he had only acknowledged a master for less than a month.
Why would he risk his life for a mere Dragon Gate Pavilion?
Besides, a powerful genius like him would be someone else’s guest no matter where he went.
It was a pity to die here!
Therefore, even if he was not poisoned, he secretly hid in this single wooden house and was careful to avoid this calamity.
But now, his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He couldn’t take it anymore, so he prepared to go out and find something to fill his stomach.
There was silence outside the door. Mi Tai pushed open the door. The wooden house he was in was uninhabited.
However, there were a few buildings around that were occupied, especially the third building on the left. He had specially asked around and found out that it was Chen Yuan’s house!
Chen Yuan was beautiful and came from a prominent family. She was like a fairy. Just imagining her soft body made Mi Tai’s heart flutter.
However, he did not know if she was dead or alive. Even if she was alive, with her beauty, she would probably be even more terrified than dead.
At the thought of Chen Yuan’s room, even her boudoir, and other private places, Mi Tai’s heart burned. It was as if he could smell a faint fragrance.
Unknowingly, he arrived outside Chen Yuan’s house. The door opened, and he barged in without hesitation.
“Oh? There’s someone here!
As soon as he pushed the door open and entered, his expression froze.
In the middle of the courtyard stood a person.
That person turned around, and Mi Tai’s breathing quickened. “Lin Yan!”
…..
Lin Yan was also quite shocked by his sudden entry.
His previous clothes were tattered and stained with blood. He found Chen Yuan’s room and did a simple cleaning.
As for why Chen Yuan had his clothes…
It could only be said that sometimes, Chen Yuan asked too many questions and would ask until night time, so she kept him here to rest.
Unexpectedly, just as he was done cleaning and was about to rush to Xiaozhi’s place, Mi Tai pushed the door open and entered.
“What are you doing here!”
Mi Tai narrowed his eyes, his face filled with embarrassment and dangerous killing intent.
Lin Yan lowered his eyes slightly and slowly swept his gaze across him.
Mi Tai’s expression flickered, and his expression was rather ugly. He didn’t expect to bump into Lin Yan!
Wouldn’t that make Lin Yan realize that he was hiding?
Although he was protecting himself, others would not think that way!
Especially Lin Yan. He would definitely seize the opportunity to badmouth him everywhere, such as being afraid of death and sneaking into his senior sister’s room…
Although this was not the truth, it was easy for others to believe it!
In that case, his reputation would be ruined!
At the thought of this, Mi Tai’s eyes turned cold. There was no one here, and Lin Yan had a grudge against him to begin with. He might as well go all out…
At the thought of this, Mi Tai subconsciously revealed a smug smile. He clenched his fists and walked towards Lin Yan step by step. “Lin Yan, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself. You’re despicable and shameless for plotting to harm me. In this world, it’s not a big deal to have another piece of trash like you. It’s not a big deal to have one less piece of trash. A genius like me is rare, so…”
Lin Yan:”…
“So, go to hell!”
Mi Tai suddenly sped up and punched Lin Yan’s head like a swimming dragon!
This move was at the peak of the timing and was filled with killing intent. It was simply the best attack Mi Tai had ever used since he started practicing martial arts!
He was both happy and pleasantly surprised. When he returned later, he would comprehend it well. He would definitely be able to advance the Dragon-Shaped Fist to another level…
Just as his thoughts reached this point, Lin Yan suddenly flashed in front of him.
Mi Tai felt an iron-like palm grab his neck and lift him up as if the man was holding a white goose.
“You…”
Mi Tai’s eyes were instantly filled with shock. However, the palm on his neck instantly clenched tightly, crushing his throat and cervical vertebrae like dough.
Mi Tai’s neck drooped to the left and he instantly stopped breathing.
“You’re thinking the same thing as me…”
Lin Yan carried Mi Tai’s corpse and walked out quickly. Along the way, he casually threw it by the roadside and went straight to Wei Yard..
