With only 8 years to live at the start, I'm going all in.

Chapter 216 You go first, I'll be there soon

The Taoist priest from the Seven Absolutes Palace looked at Ding Yi, who stood with his knife in hand, and his smile grew wider and wider.

"What arrogance! I'll see..."

Before the Taoist could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a figure flash before his eyes, and Ding Yi vanished from the spot.

"What the hell?!"

The Taoist looked around but couldn't find Ding Yi anywhere. Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

"In the sky! Huh?"

He had assumed Ding Yi was perched on the tree above, but to the Taoist's surprise, there was no sign of Ding Yi at all.

The Taoist priest panicked.

He gripped his longsword, and the vital energy within his body instantly overflowed, forming an invisible shield that enveloped him.

Then, the Taoist walked step by step toward the direction where Ding Yi had disappeared, his expression full of vigilance.

Suddenly, a hand shot out from the soil beneath the Taoist, and at the same time, a strong wave of energy emanated from the hand, shooting out towards the Taoist's crotch.

"Snapped!"

With just a crisp crack, half of the Taoist's body shattered, and a large amount of blood and bits of flesh scattered everywhere.

"Clap."

The Taoist's head, along with his severed limbs, flew dozens of meters away and landed on the ground with a thud.

[You have slain the evil Taoist priest of the Seven Absolutes Palace; your lifespan has increased by 78 years and 14 days.]

The next moment, Ding Yi's figure slowly emerged from underground. He glanced at the Taoist's corpse in the distance, but his expression did not change much.

"This earth-遁术 (earth-遁术) is indeed amazing for sneak attacks, but using it in conjunction with 归元 (Guiyuan) consumes too much energy."

As Ding Yi pondered this, he took out a pill from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi turned his head to look at the battlefield in the distance. He could vaguely hear shouts of killing from there, but he walked slowly to the Taoist's mangled body and took out the corpse-dissolving water from his pocket to destroy the evidence.

With a hissing sound, Ding Yi watched as the corpses at his feet turned into blood and seeped into the grass before turning and walking away.

At this moment, the members of the Wanxiang Sect were rapidly retreating towards the outer perimeter.

Wang Lin was covered in sweat. The fear he felt from the worship of the Divine Palace Realm expert had not subsided. He was just a hair's breadth away from being cleaved in two by that sword light!

These beasts!

Wang Lin cursed inwardly, but suddenly noticed a figure emerging from the dense forest ahead. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person was none other than his own sect leader.

"Master!"

Wang Lin was overjoyed and rushed over, shouting.

"This area has been taken over by the Yin-Yang Palace, and our mission is complete."

Ding Yi glanced in the direction of the village, then pretended to be somewhat relieved and said...

"Then let's go quickly."

Wang Lin quickly replied.

"Hmm, where are the things I asked you to bring?"

Ding Yi suddenly asked.

"Sect Master, I'm here."

One of the henchmen quickly took off a package he had been carrying on his back and handed it to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi took the package and then said:

"You all wait for me outside. I will deliver this to that sir and then come back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then stood still, unwilling to leave.

"Sect Leader, we are not afraid of death! Please take us with you!"

Sun Tao was the first to step forward, calling out.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yi's eye twitched. These guys actually thought he was going to fight alone.

Damn it, what a bunch of idiots!

"This is an order!"

Ding Yi glared and roared.

"this..."

"roll!!"

Ding Yi roared, and the rest of the gang members, their eyes bloodshot, stopped delaying and rushed out of the forest.

Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the group of people leave.

After confirming that no one was paying attention, he leaped up to a giant tree more than ten meters high, and then jumped to a tree ten meters away. After several such leaps, his figure disappeared from the spot.

On the other side, the female disciples of Yin-Yang Palace were fighting fiercely with those evil spirits, and the two divine palaces of Qijue Palace were also restrained. It seemed that the situation had completely tilted in favor of Yin-Yang Palace.

But the next moment, several Taoist priests from the Seven Absolutes Palace rushed out of the thatched hut, carrying long swords, and charged towards the earthen slope.

Upon seeing this, Yao Xiangxiang's face immediately darkened, but seeing that there were very few of those people left, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Shuiying stood in the center of the village, her steps constantly shifting.

After about half a cup of tea's time, Long Shuiying suddenly looked delighted, then turned around and strode towards the northeast.

Long Shuiying walked all the way to a low thatched hut, looked at the disc in her hand, then at the hut, and then pointed at the disc with one hand while chanting a complicated incantation.

The strange disc vibrated in response to the syllables uttered by Long Shuiying, and before long, it began to twist and deform in her palm.

In just a moment, the disc in Long Shuiying's hand transformed into a black short sword, which she then gripped tightly in her palm before stabbing it fiercely into the thatched hut in front of her.

The short sword pierced into the void as if it had struck a transparent rag, actually distorting the space in front of it into wrinkles.

Then, the wrinkled space began to slowly crumble, revealing a dark doorway behind it.

"Woman! You're asking for it!!"

The demonic cultivator who was engaged in a fierce battle with Sun Qiao'er and the others suddenly noticed the commotion. His expression turned to shock, and he abandoned his opponent, rushing frantically towards them while letting out a furious roar.

Meanwhile, the demonic cultivator at the Divine Palace Realm opposite Yao Xiangxiang let out a strange howl, which immediately startled the Yin Yang Palace disciples around them, and their expressions began to subtly change towards anger.

"Wake up, all of you!!"

Upon seeing this, Yao Xiangxiang snorted coldly, and a chilling aura instantly spread outwards along her body, enveloping all the Yin Yang Palace disciples within a radius of a hundred meters.

The next moment, the disciples all shuddered, and then their eyes regained their luster.

However, in that instant, several female disciples were stabbed in vital areas by the evil Taoists of the Seven Absolutes Palace, and lay there spitting out large amounts of blood and foam from their mouths and noses.

Although Long Shuiying heard the roar behind her, her expression remained unchanged, and she walked straight into the black hole in front of her.

"Stop that woman!!"

The demonic Taoist priest roared, and three more Taoist priests rushed out of the thatched hut with eerie smiles on their faces, chasing after Long Shuiying.

Looks like we've caught a big fish!

Upon seeing this scene, Yao Xiangxiang, who was on the hillside, licked her lips excitedly.

"You have no idea what you're doing!"

The demonic Taoist priest of the Divine Palace looked impatient and roared at Yao Xiangxiang, who was blocking his way.

"Yes, I know, they're going to raid our homes!"

Yao Xiangxiang chuckled and spoke slowly.
