Chapter 979: At Any Cost_1

Others were amazed at the performance of the Purple Wood Sword Emperor, but Shi Xiaole's amazement was more than tenfold.

He could not fathom why the Purple Wood Sword Emperor would rather sacrifice his lifespan and put himself in danger in order to help him.

Because of friendship?

He had only known the Purple Wood Sword Emperor for a short time, with very few words exchanged between them; where could such life and death friendship come from?

Despite his confusion and doubts, there was no time for Shi Xiaole to ponder deeply, for after unleashing a single sword strike, the Purple Wood Sword Emperor's vitality weakened to an extreme.

On one hand, the excessive consumption of his lifespan, and on the other, the suffering of a direct attack from Yan Jicheng had caused a large displacement of his internal organs, putting his life at grave risk.
