CHAPTER 2389  LIFE HANGING BY A TREAD

Lin Mu looked at Lady Kang's struggling form and took a breath. He grabbed a handful of Blood Regeneration pills and directly ate them, letting them be digested by his stomach so that the process would start beforehand. At the same time, Xukong was instructing him what to do.

"In her current condition you'll need to channel your blood into her body. The only way you can do that stably is by using meld and create tubes that connect the both of you." Xukong instructed. "The key is to imbue your blood with as much vitality as possible and let it support Lady Kang. After a certain point the curse should be weakened enough for you to eliminate it in one go." He added.

Xukong knew that this was not the best method, but it was the only method that was possible right now.

'Ideally we should have had a Curse Master or a Shaman break this curse… Even a Buddhist Abbot might be able to do it but that is out of the option.' Xukong thought to himself.

"Meld!" Xukong didn't get to think for that too long though, as Lin Mu began his work.

~SLICK~

With meld, he directly cut his left wrist. Normally something like this would be quite hard to do as Lin Mu had a highly durable body. And even if it did get cut, it would quickly heal due to his vitality. But right now, Lin Mu was keeping it open with meld, and had created invisible 'tubes' that directly came out of his veins.

"This has to work…" Lin Mu muttered under his breath as he held Lady Kang's right hand.

Her skin felt cold and wet to the touch, as if she had been drenched in icy water. But it was all due to the curse that had been infesting her body. Lin Mu even felt uneasy upon touching her, as his instincts could tell him that the curse was right there.

He held the woman's hand and gently slit his fingers between hers before grasping it.

"Meld." With another word, he cut Lady Kang's wrist as well, quickly creating the invisible tubes to link the two.

~SHUA~

A second later, the tubes were connected and blood started to flow among them

To the others it looked like the blood was simply flying out of Lin Mu's hand and entering Lady Kang. But in reality it was being precisely guided by Lin Mu.

He couldn't use Immortal Sense to do this, thus he had to use his skills that he had honed over the years to use Meld accurately. Any mistake with the spatial skill could very well lead to the severing of an entire hand for either of them.

~HISS~

A few seconds after the blood started to flow into Lady Kang's hand though, a faint hissing sound was heard. It was as if the blood was boiling when it met the curse inside the woman's body.

Lin Mu maintained his breathing at the same time, and controlled his heart to pump his blood at a steady pace. If he wished to he could increase the speed as needed, but as Xukong had instructed he needed to gauge the response from Lady Kang's body first.

He continued to pump his blood into Lady Kang for about a minute, while the hissing sound continued.

"There's no change in her condition." Min Ju spoke after having been silent all this time.

"It'll probably take some time." Ziran replied. "This isn't exactly a known process." He added.

"We shouldn't disturb Daoist Lin Mu and Monk Hushu right now, let them focus on it all." Crown Prince Feng Shun reminded. Têxt belongs to .

"The Crown Prince is correct." Elder Hu said, his voice heavy. "All we can do now is wait and assist when asked."

~SHUA~

Just as they were talking about that, Lin Mu noticed that Monk Hushu's technique seemed to be wavering. The golden curtain that was over Lady Kang was starting to flicker.

"I… Won't be able to… hold on much longer." Monk Hushu stated with a tired frown.

"It's fine… go rest." Lin Mu replied. "I'll call for you if we need you again." He said, knowing that there wasn't much Monk Hushu could do now.

Xukong had already told him that the best Monk Hushu's skill could do was to maintain the state of Lady Kang but not reduce it. If he was an abbot, it would be a different thing, but this was still much better than there being nothing.

"Alright." Monk Hushu said, as he deactivated his skill before moving.

~SCREECH~

As soon as he did though, a high pitched screech could be heard coming from Lady Kang's body.

"What in the name of the heavens is that sound?" The group couldn't help but cover their ears as they heard a god forsaken screech.

It was as if millions of bugs were crying out at the same time, and it was enough to make one's mind ache.

"Ugh…" Lin Mu gritted his teeth as he was hit by it the hardest being so near. But he held on and instead increased the rate of his blood flow.

~GUSH~

The invisible tubes visible bulged as more blood started to flow through them and into Lady Kang's hand

The flow of the blood seemingly caused the screeching sound to increase in intensity, showing that it was doing something to it.

'Is it the curses trying to oppose it?' Lin Mu wondered.

By now, he had injected at least two liters of blood into Lady Kang's body. This was a large amount for a mortal, but for Immortals who could regenerate it faster, it was still tolerable.

But in the case of Lady Kang it was different, as even if she could regenerate it fast, it didn't mean she could contain that much blood in her body.

'The blood is being consumed for sure.' Lin Mu guessed at seeing this. ~GULP~

He ate another mouthful of pills, knowing that this was going to be a long process.
