The Lay Flat Life: My Wife's Cultivation Makes Me Stronger - Chapter 82

The little girl crashed heavily to the ground, lying sprawled in a pitiful state. She struggled to stand but couldn’t muster the strength to do so.

Her body was covered in wounds, crisscrossed with injuries, and her small, dirt-streaked face showed no trace of blood.

This puzzled Han Feng. Even demonic beasts bled, didn’t they?

What exactly was this little girl’s species?

“Quick, break the formation! The little girl can’t hold on any longer!” Gao Hai roared, his voice filled with urgency as he, Han Feng, and Jiang Surou put everything they had into attacking the formation.

The cracks in the formation grew wider and more numerous, accompanied by the sound of splintering. It was clear the formation wouldn’t last much longer.

The evil cultivator, seeing this, gnashed his teeth in frustration. His eyes burned with hatred as he roared,
“You’re forcing my hand!”

He suddenly leaped into the air, landing in front of the blood pill. Snatching it up, he glared at the three outside, his bloodshot eyes filled with fury.
“This was a commission—a single blood pill in exchange for fifty thousand spirit stones. Everything was going perfectly, and then that strange little girl showed up. And now, you three as well!

Forget it! I’m not selling this pill anymore. You can all go to hell!”

With that, he swallowed the blood pill in one gulp and sat cross-legged, immediately beginning to refine it.

“Not good! He’s trying to refine the blood pill to break through to Foundation Establishment. Quickly, break the formation and stop him!” Gao Hai shouted, his anxiety mounting. He threw everything he had into attacking the formation, even risking injury from backlash.

Finally, through their relentless efforts, the formation shattered with a thunderous crash. A thick, nauseating stench of blood and rot wafted out, making the three nearly gag.

“Little Fox, check on the little girl and give her a Revitalizing Pill. We’ll deal with the enemy!” Han Feng commanded, tossing the little fox toward the injured blue-haired girl.

Gao Hai led Han Feng and Jiang Surou in a charge toward the evil cultivator.

Their speed was incredible, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the cultivator.

The three raised their swords to strike, but just as they were about to land their attacks, the evil cultivator’s eyes snapped open. His irises were filled with swirling blood energy, resembling a vortex.

Suddenly, his aura exploded outward, sending a massive shockwave rippling through the air. The force struck Gao Hai, Han Feng, and Jiang Surou, sending them all flying backward.

“Hahahaha!” The evil cultivator’s laughter rang out, unrestrained and maniacal.
“So this is all it takes to break through with a blood pill? My Blood Qi Foundation Platform is far stronger than an ordinary Foundation Platform.

No wonder those hypocritical righteous cultivators covet blood pills so much.

By condensing the blood and qi of tens of thousands of mortals, I’ve forged my crimson foundation!

Hahahaha! You’re all going to die. Every last one of you!”

Still laughing maniacally, the evil cultivator hefted his curved blade and charged toward Gao Hai.

Among the three, Gao Hai was the strongest at the early Foundation Establishment stage. Naturally, the evil cultivator aimed to take him down first.

If he could kill Gao Hai, the two Qi Refining cultivators would be easy pickings.

Meanwhile, the little fox reached the blue-haired girl and tried to help her up, but she was too heavy for the small fox to lift.

The little girl lay there, barely clinging to life, unable to move. Her pitiful state was heart-wrenching.

The little fox, growing increasingly anxious, said,
“Big Sister, wake up! Eat this pill quickly!”

She pulled out a Revitalizing Pill, a gift from Jiang Surou, and fed it to the girl.

The pill dissolved immediately upon entering the girl’s mouth, transforming into medicinal energy that coursed through her body. However, her injuries showed no signs of improvement.

The little girl, her consciousness fading, mumbled,
“Water… water…”

The little fox, now frantic, replied,
“Where am I supposed to find water for you? You can’t drink seawater! Hang in there a bit longer. Once they defeat the bad guy, they’ll take you to the sect to heal you.

We’re all good people—and good demons. You don’t have to worry.”

“Water…” The little girl’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

On the battlefield, Gao Hai was struggling against the evil cultivator. Despite being at the Foundation Establishment stage, Gao Hai was being completely overwhelmed.

The evil cultivator’s Blood Qi Foundation Platform was ferocious and chaotic, far more powerful than an ordinary Foundation Platform. However, it came at a cost, as it wreaked havoc on his own body due to the excessive foreign blood energy within him.

It was a double-edged sword—lethal to both the enemy and the user. But its sheer power was undeniable.

Even Gao Hai, a seasoned Foundation Establishment cultivator, found himself no match for the newly advanced evil cultivator. Injuries began to accumulate on his body as he was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Seeing this, Han Feng knew he could no longer remain idle. Gripping his Wind Spirit Sword tightly, he unleashed a blade of wind energy that sliced through the air toward the evil cultivator.

The feather-like wind blade shot straight at the enemy. The evil cultivator, seeing that the attack came from a mere Qi Refining disciple, dismissed it outright, making no effort to block.

It wasn’t until the wind blade pierced through his arm that the evil cultivator realized his grave mistake. He had underestimated Han Feng.

Snarling, he turned to face Han Feng and swung his curved blade in a wide arc.

Han Feng met him head-on, raising his sword to counter the strike.

The two weapons clashed with a deafening clang, sending shockwaves rippling outward. Both combatants were forced back, but in vastly different states—while the evil cultivator steadied himself after a few steps, Han Feng was sent flying, blood churning from the impact and sustaining minor internal injuries.

Smirking coldly, the evil cultivator sneered,
“Impressive, kid. Playing the weak to catch the strong, huh? Even that Foundation Establishment guy couldn’t take one of my blows without injury, yet you, a Qi Refining cultivator, manage to hold your ground?

Something’s definitely off about you. If I kill you and refine you into a blood pill… hahahaha, that’s going to be one delicious treat!”

With that, he ignored the others and charged straight at Han Feng.

Gao Hai and Jiang Surou immediately moved to intercept, attacking the evil cultivator from both sides. But their speed couldn’t match the cultivator’s, who closed the distance to Han Feng in the blink of an eye.

Han Feng snorted coldly and activated the Wen Qingfeng technique from the Xun Art. His speed surged as he leapt backward, creating distance while simultaneously summoning two small whirlwinds with a wave of his hand.

The whirlwinds struck the evil cultivator in quick succession, forcing him back twice.

Using this opportunity, Han Feng widened the gap between himself and the cultivator. Gao Hai and Jiang Surou finally caught up, their swords slashing down at the enemy.

The evil cultivator gritted his teeth and let out a cold snort. He took their strikes head-on, allowing their swords to pierce his body. Then, with a flash of his curved blade, he slashed Gao Hai, carving a deep, bone-revealing wound across his chest. Following up, he delivered a swift kick that sent Gao Hai flying, before turning his blade toward Jiang Surou with lightning speed.
