I watched helplessly as the black magical energy pierced through Du Ming's chest, his body falling backward like a kite with a broken string.
"Du Ming!" I cried out in anguish, rushing forward without a second thought to catch his collapsing body.
"Lingxi..." He struggled to open his eyes, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry about me... just go..."
"No, I won't leave you!" I held him tightly, tears streaming down my face. "You have to hold on; I will save you!"
His breath grew weaker, his face pale and terrifying, the gaping wound on his chest a horrifying sight. Trembling, I poured my spiritual energy into him continuously, trying to prolong his life, but it was all in vain.
"It's useless... I'm too badly hurt..." He weakly shook his head. "Lingxi... I'm... sorry..."
"Don't say that..." I sobbed uncontrollably; every word he spoke felt like a needle piercing my heart. "You will be fine; I won't let anything happen to you!"
At that moment, a flash of white light appeared, and Bai Wei stood before us. Upon seeing Du Ming's injuries, her expression turned grave.
"Bai Wei, please save him! I'm begging you!" I pleaded desperately, as if clinging to a lifeline.
Bai Wei said nothing but quickly pulled out a pill from her pocket and placed it in Du Ming's mouth before beginning to channel her energy to heal him.
"His injuries are severe; I can only stabilize his life for now. To fully heal him... I'm afraid..." Bai Wei's brow furrowed, her tone heavy with concern.
"No matter the cost, I will save him!" I declared firmly, my eyes filled with determination. I gripped Du Ming's hand tightly; it was cold and devoid of warmth, and my heart felt like it was growing colder by the moment. Just then, hurried footsteps approached, and I looked up to see Mr. Du rushing over with an anxious expression.
Seeing Du Ming in such a state caused even his usually stern face to show signs of panic, but he quickly regained his composure and walked over to me. In a heavy tone, he said, "Child, I'm entrusting Ming'er to you; you are his only hope."
I was taken aback; hearing those words from Mr. Du was simply unbelievable. He had always opposed my marriage to Du Ming and had never treated me kindly even after I married him. Now he was entrusting Du Ming's life to me—this shift caught me completely off guard.
"Father, don't worry; I will do everything in my power to save him!" I replied firmly, the flame of hope reigniting within me. Bai Wei also came over and took my hand, saying, "Lingxi, I believe in you; you can do this."
Their words were like a warm current that warmed my cold heart. Yes, I couldn't give up; for Du Ming and for this hard-won love, I had to fight with all my might. Taking a deep breath and ensuring Du Ming was comfortable, I plunged into the study room.
I needed to find every possible way to save Du Ming; even if there was only a glimmer of hope, I would not give up! Countless ancient texts were spread out before me as time slipped away unnoticed between my fingers. I refused to believe that there was no way to save Du Ming's life! As I flipped through the ancient texts, each page felt like heavy history pressing down on me until suddenly a line of text caught my eye; my heart raced as if I'd grasped onto a lifeline.
"Soul Return: With my blood essence, reshape your soul..."
This was an ancient Forbidden Technique said to be able to repair the souls of severely injured individuals at the cost of part of the user's life force. The ancient texts also detailed the consequences of using this Forbidden Technique—loss of cultivation at best or complete disintegration of the soul at worst.
Was it dangerous? Of course! But what could be more important than Du Ming's life? Taking a deep breath, my resolve solidified.
I found Bai Wei with the ancient text in hand; her expression had turned serious as well. "Lingxi, are you really sure about this? This is a Forbidden Technique; if you're not careful..."
"I know," I interrupted her with determination in my voice. "But I can't just watch him die; I must save him!"
Bai Wei looked at me in silence for a moment before finally sighing and nodding her head. "Alright, I'll help you!"
We began preparing the materials needed for the Forbidden Technique: rare herbs, ancient talismans... each one worth a fortune, but at this moment, they were merely tools to save Du Ming. Mr. Du also did his utmost to assist us; he gathered many precious herbs and even called upon his family's influence.
After several days of effort, we finally had all the materials required for the Forbidden Technique. We chose the night of the full moon to conduct the ritual in the Du Family ancestral hall. The atmosphere in the hall was tense; everyone held their breath, nervously watching me.
I took a deep breath and followed the ancient texts step by step to perform the ritual. As the final rune was inscribed, I felt a sharp pain in my fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the rune. In an instant, a powerful force enveloped the entire ancestral hall...
