Seeing that Jiang Ping was going to kill him, Gu Jin took out a pill from his back.
He opened his mouth and stuffed the pill into his mouth.
Gu Jin knew that he was going to die for sure. The pill he took out was a soul-guarding pill given by the sect master to a core elder of the Chuanyun Sect who had been in the sect for more than 20 years or who had made significant contributions to the sect.
After eating the soul-guarding pill, when one received a fatal attack, the pill would exert its medicinal effect to protect a wisp of one's soul and allow one to escape.
Moreover, the remaining wisp of a person's soul could be reincarnated by possessing a new body through a secret method. Although one's strength would be greatly reduced after being reincarnated, one could slowly recover their original realm through cultivation in the future.
Jiang Ping raised his hand and clenched his fist.
