Tainted will

Bam!!

The fiery red fist barely missed Qing Han as it furiously slammed against the ground creating a gigantic spider web-like crack on the ground.

The Clan heads sent another barrage of attacks before creating some distance between them and the asura.

"Why are you wasting time? Once that man finishes refining the flame essence it's over, you will all die. This is our only chance to take revenge! without spilling their blood how can the anguished souls of our clansmen rest in peace. Speak are you really that unwilling? are you truly worthy of the position and power you are in! Since you don't have the balls to do it, destroy this formation that is trapping me and restrict those two, I will quickly kill that man. I will be salvation for the dead! Look at the formation below him it's on the verge of breaking, there is just a single minute left! Hurry up!" Bai Ming's voice once again resounded in their minds, making them grit their teeths. Their hearts were filled with uncertainty.

'Fucking morons, we are running out of time!' Bai Ming cursed inwardly, 'If they could just restrict that flaming creature and the bitch for at least 20 seconds, I could dash towards the barrier and leave this place. My legs have still not recovered, otherwise, just three seconds would have been enough. But this is the best possible outcome, once I leave this place even if the middle-aged man personally moves he would probably need to spend a good amount of time-solving the restrictions. Even if he had solved it once before to enter here, restrictions are ever-changing he will still need to spend much time studying it before breaking it. Needless to say, there are still flaws in this plan, firstly it's that mysterious senior, who I suspect is trapped in the stone statue, he is a dangerous variable. Secondly, if by chance the middle-aged man is either a formation path expert or a Yin-Yang void realm martial artist he will be able to catch up to me in no time, But considering the fact when I was suddenly teleported here through that transfer array, the girl had just finished battling and as for the middle-aged man, he was busy refining the flame, it is highly likely that the person who brought me here is that mysterious expert and if I assume that the expert was trapped in this statue, it makes much more sense to me. If my guess is right, that expert should be probably trapped in that statue and is in need of a new body, and that's where I come into play, in order to gain control over the restrictions inside I had previously allowed foreign divine sense to invade my body, even though I was able to defend against it and gain control over the formation, the divine sense had observed my entire foundation from the inside, so this divine sense is probably aware that I possess an extremity grade spirit root, plus I also have an extremely tough body. So this divine sense which belongs to that mysterious expert was able to learn this, which created the desire of occupying my body as a vessel in that expert's mind. But if I completely ignore these problems, can these morons really restrict those two for twenty seconds, they are just barely able survive till this moment, betting on the fact they are able to restrict that creature and the bitch is useless, but my words will atleast incite them.'

'The second best possible outcome would be if they self detonate, even when just a single core formation expert self-detonates it is more than enough to threaten a spirit realm master, if the three clan heads were to detonate now everyone here would probably die including me, but that's fine. As long as everyone here dies when I resurrect using the Yin-Yang pearl, I can leave this place safely. But for the self-detonation to work it has to happen now when the middle-aged man is refining the flame. Once he finishes refining the flame, who knows he might be somehow able to protect himself, and if he sees me returning from the dead who knows what might happen to me.'

The three clan heads glanced at each other, ruthlessness and resolution shone in their eyes. They sighed deeply as death closed upon them, their fighting spirit continued to grow steeply like a water fountain. There was no hope for their survival anyway, but there was hope for vengeance.

"To think that in this path of destruction, your Ye and Luo village is not my enemy but an ally. Life is too mystical." Song li spoke with mixed emotions.

"After hundreds of years of enmity, in the end, we ended up as allies just what the first generations had wished for." Ye Qing han said emotionally.

"Don't talk too much, let's end this once and for all as allies!" Luo Feng chuckled as he flew toward Li jun disregarding his safety.

"Hey, wait for us!" Qing Han and Song Li laughed loudly as they followed him.

Bai Ming coldly smirked as he watched this, his bloody hand held a fat pouch.

"Courting death, asura kill them." Li Wei was swift in her actions, the moment she saw them dashing toward her teacher she flawlessly maneuvered the asura.

But at the next moment both her and Li jun's expressions froze in mad terror, in their mind they heard Huang long screaming "Explode, they are going to blow up."

Even though Huang long had turned into living dead long ago, he was once an almighty peak stage Yin-Yang void realm expert. He had unfathomable methods, using just his divine sense he was able to find out the intentions of the three clan heads.

The three clan heads were right in front of the asura, they were still two hundred meters away from Li jun. They knew that they could not sidestep the asura, it was now or never.

Their bodies suddenly inflated like overstretched balloons, It expanded in a split second, and their lips, muscles, and fat looked swollen to their limits. Beneath their skin was a violent flow of spiritual energy, like turbulent rivers being born. It was as if they could explode at any moment.

Li Jun's eyes were bloodshot, his expression was extremely twisted making him look even more malevolent, "I still need thirteen more seconds, Shit! I have to do it!"

"For Vengeance!!!" Qing Han, Luo Feng, and Song li roared in a distorted voice, as qi started to surge with even more intensity and in the twinkling of an eye...

BOOM!!!

The deafening explosion sent massive waves of intense qi flowing out in a violent manner. They had self-destructed and turned themselves into a literal bomb. The majority of their spiritual qi had been explosively sent in Li jun's direction in an insane suicidal attack.

The Eight armed asura was engulfed in the devastating explosion, its entire being was immediately turned into nothingness.

Li jun ordered mentally, "Detonate!"

Right away, Li Wei's eyes turned vacant like a soulless puppet.

Crackle…..

Large amounts of ice started spreading from under her feet, then the glacier rose like the birth of a mountain!

The surging majestic ice was like a landslide, like a raging tsunami, like an evil flood dragon rolling on the waves, as it waged a world-shattering war against the mighty qi eruption.

The qi explosion and raging glacier collided, trying to gain supremacy over each other, In the end, the violent qi outburst was still suppressed by the glacier, confined and engulfed.

Li jun let out a breath of relief, he spoke inwardly 'This is the true strength of the ancient false yin physique, so what if you're a spirit realm cultivator. Hahaha, Li Wei was not only an ancient false yin physique but I had also given her a two-hundred-year-old ice essence, along with her superior foundation how could these mountain folks be her match. My decision of placing that puppet mind seal was indeed the best thing I ever did. But it's a pity, I originally wanted to use her as a cauldron after reaching the Yin-Yang void realm. No matter, getting this flame essence is of the utmost importance, another nine seconds and I will have completed refining this flame essence.'

"Kill, kill, kill!" Bai Ming's eyes were bloodshot, he sprinted on the battlefield with his heavily injured legs without any regard, there were only nine seconds left before Li jun would completely refine the bone heart flame, if Bai Ming wanted to survive he had two options right now, One was to escape through the barrier and other was to kill Li jun.

If Bai Ming wanted to escape through the barrier, he would at least need twenty seconds with his messed up legs to do it, but he only had nine seconds. Hence, this option was completely discarded by Bai Ming.

Now his only option was to kill Li jun, but that had to be done within nine seconds. Fortunately, Bai Ming was much closer to Li Jun.

But there was one problem, a part of the glacier was moving towards him.

Bai Ming's eyes were colder than the glacier, his will stronger than steel. His expression was unchanging as he saw the glacier rapidly approaching him, Bai Ming swiftly took out spiritual cores from his bag, which he had collected from the corpses of those elders killed by Li Wei, and began throwing them at the raging glacier, trying to break the ice.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But the ice layer was way too thick, and the coldness was oozing. Every layer of ice he shaved off, two layers would grow.

He wanted to throw the cores toward Li Jun, but unfortunately, the glacier was at such an angle that prevented Bai Ming from doing so.

Bai Ming gritted his teeth, he threw ten spiritual cores at once. Now, he only had two more spiritual cores remaining.

Boom!!!

With a loud explosion, large amounts of ice were turned into tiny fragments.

In Bai Ming's vision, he could see Li jun, but not even a second had passed before the ice condensed once again, raging towards him and this time its speed was even more terrifying.

Bai Ming didn't have the ability to react in time, he was quickly sealed in the ice. Bai Ming was trapped in a desperate situation, Only four seconds were remaining now!

If Bai Ming was in his peak state, he might have had a minute chance of breaking through this confinement, but now he didn't have 50% of his strength, there was no way he could escape now.

Bai Ming steeled his demonic heart, suddenly there was a faint glow in both of his palms, and his arms were spread wide open inside the ice.

If one observed carefully, Bai Ming's hands each held a spiritual core.

Boom!!

Yellow light rushed toward the sky as Bai Ming broke the ice and was sent flying into the sky.

Bai Ming was missing both of his arms and legs, Blood gushed out madly from his wounds. If it wasn't for the ice and his treasure body he would have definitely died on the spot, with not even his ashes remaining.

Three more seconds!!

Bai Ming was still flying upward in the air because of the explosion, but the resolve in his eyes was unwavering.

He quickly summoned three sword Phantoms behind him and sent them toward Li jun.

Li jun couldn't turn his head to see the scene behind him, but with his divine sense and Huang long there to guide him, he was completely aware of the situation.

Li jun quickly covered his body with his spiritual essence, it was the only thing he could do now.

Swoosh!!

The three sword phantoms swiftly clashed against Lin jun, aiming for his heart, brain, and neck. But, it was only able to make shallow wounds on his body.

Two seconds!!

Bai Ming's heart sank. But in his desperation, barely before another second could pass he had a flash of inspiration.

Another three sword Phantoms quickly materialized behind him, but unlike before they moved in a vertical line piercing into Bai Ming's back as they rapidly carried him towards Li Jun.

One Second!!

'The last second is going to pass, just a little closer, should I do it now? No! wait till the last moment! Have to maximize the effect!!' Bai Ming's face had turned demonic, his heart beating like a war drum.

Soon the last second passed...

But just before it had passed, there was a world-shattering explosion!

BOOM!!!

Bai Ming had self-detonated!
