Chapter 360

• Fan Zhuo’s body was exceptionally weak and would not be able to hold up under overly intensive treatment. But the afflictions within his body were nevertheless very violent and if not suppressed by strong medicine, he would soon cease to breathe. Jun Wu Xie employed her own technique, the Devil’s Heart Needles to retain the last gasps of his breath.
• The technique was developed by Jun Wu Xie herself when she had been isolated from the world for more than a decade. Its implementation was highly invasive but its effect were just as astounding. This technique when employed through Jun Wu Xie’s needles would forcibly incite a person’s life force to flare for a period. Although that might just retain a person’s life, this technique could only be employed on a person three times throughout his life and every time it was used, the person’s lifespan would be shortened by a decade. If the body were to undergo through the technique more than three times, then, that person wouldn’t be saved even if the gods descended.
• The technique was highly detrimental to a person’s body and Jun Wu Xie avoided employing it if she could help it. But faced with Fan Zhuo condition now, besides using the Devil’s Heart Needles to gain the precious time she needed, she could not think of any other way.
