Chapter 920: Chapter 916: Xiao Tian’s Resolve

The long run has left Adison Claire’s calves aching, almost as if she were stepping on cotton, soft and powerless, along with the exhaustion and drowsiness from overexertion.

Perhaps it was because she’d already escaped from the mansion and was no longer constrained by the Water Drop Organization, Adison Claire felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, a sense of renewal, freed from the fear of being jolted awake by nightmares at midnight.

This relaxed mindset sparked a desire to just fall asleep then and there.

However, as she closed her eyes, Adison Claire quickly jolted awake, realizing that Xiang Yiting was still in danger, and she was the only one who knew where Xiang Yiting was; without her guidance...

Just as she was thinking she absolutely couldn’t fall asleep, she noticed Xiao Tian suddenly stop in his tracks. As if he already knew, he headed straight towards a nearby bush.

Witnessing this, Adison Claire was genuinely shocked. She hadn’t mentioned Xiang Yiting’s location; how was she found so effortlessly?

Of course, she didn’t realize that her meticulously arranged camouflage, which seemed flawless to fool ordinary eyes, was as simple as child’s play to someone like Xiao Tian who had experienced countless jungle battles.

Xiao Tian didn’t even need to look closely; a quick glance allowed him to determine where the telltale signs of human intervention were.

This wasn’t a matter of talent or instinct; it was purely from experience, becoming adept and skillful like eating and drinking.

After setting Adison Claire down, Xiao Tian immediately reached out to check Xiang Yiting’s pulse, his brows furrowing sharply, the situation worse than he had imagined.

Xiang Yiting’s condition couldn’t simply be described as dire; nearly all her meridians were completely blocked, and the remainder would soon be blocked as well.

Once all her meridians were blocked, even if Xiao Tian were a god descended from heaven, he wouldn’t be able to reverse the situation; put simply, Xiang Yiting holding on till now was definitely the most tenacious person he had ever encountered.

Seeing Xiao Tian’s furrowed brows and silence, Adison Claire couldn’t help but feel tense: "How is she? Can you save her?"

Xiao Tian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Whether or not it’s possible, I have to save her!"

With that, he quickly took off his backpack, retrieved a folded cloth package, and unfolded it to reveal rows of silver needles, gleaming in the moonlight.

"Help me get her clothes off!"

Xiao Tian ignited the nearby branches and bushes with True Qi while roasting the silver needles over the fire, speaking to Adison Claire without turning his head.

Adison Claire was immediately shocked, her face showing an uncomfortable expression, but she knew the emergency of the situation; after all, based on prior circumstances, she believed Xiao Tian didn’t seem like someone who would take advantage of others.

Of course, Adison Claire was somewhat self-aware, thinking perhaps Xiao Tian was scared off by her appearance, hence not taking further action.

Knowing the situation was urgent, Adison Claire gritted her teeth and began to unbutton Xiang Yiting’s shirt, asking, "All of it off?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Tian answered without hesitation; once he disinfected the needles with high heat, he turned around to see the alluring body lying quietly on the ground, padded by discarded clothes.

Under the moonlight, Xiang Yiting’s pale skin glistened like smooth jade, untainted by a speck of dust. Although her physique was not as voluptuous as Adison Claire’s, it was quite proportional, coupled with a face considered exquisite, highlighting her allure!

However, Xiao Tian had no time to think of such things and immediately grabbed a silver needle and pierced it.

Focused, Xiao Tian’s movements became especially swift and precise; watching from the side, Adison Claire found it dazzling. Her gaze could almost only capture the needles appearing on Xiang Yiting’s body, unable to see how they appeared.

Xiao Tian, not concerned about exposure, had sweat covering his forehead after inserting the last needle.

Yet, when he checked Xiang Yiting’s pulse again, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in incredulity, staring at the closed-eyed, seemingly sleep-like face before him.

Despite knowing Xiang Yiting’s survival chances were slim, Xiao Tian held onto positive thoughts, only to be harshly struck by reality, as if mocking his arrogance.

For a moment, Xiao Tian was stunned in place, his mind blank, unable to conceive any thoughts.

Certainly, the situation couldn’t be blamed on Xiao Tian; under those circumstances, Xiang Yiting’s outcome would still be the same without this attempt, yet Xiao Tian couldn’t accept this result no matter what!

He noticed Xiang Yiting’s pulse going from extremely weak, gradually becoming intermittent, finally settling into a deathly stillness.

Xiao Tian’s eyes suddenly opened wide, with the shining brilliance like stars in the sky, turning into a blazing fire...

Adison Claire, noticing Xiao Tian’s anomaly, widened her eyes as well, thinking, must Xiang Yiting truly leave like this?

"Is she... still savable?"

When speaking, Adison Claire’s voice was incredibly dry and hoarse, asking this question with the answer already in her heart, yet she too refused to accept it and pinned her hopes on Xiao Tian, hoping for a contrasting reply.

However, Xiao Tian didn’t follow up on Adison Claire’s question, instead saying lightly, "Help her sit up."

Following his words, Adison Claire propped Xiang Yiting’s porcupine-like body to sit up, looking at Xiao Tian with puzzled eyes.

Moments later, Xiao Tian said resolutely: "Even if Death God comes, I have to snatch her back from him!"

Such an outlandish statement, promising to snatch someone from Death God, fell on Adison Claire’s ears and surprisingly compelled her to choose to believe it!

Adison Claire’s gaze shifted continuously, searching for the roots of this belief; perhaps she didn’t want Xiang Yiting to die deep down, or maybe she was overly exhausted, making irrational judgments...

But when Adison Claire looked at Xiao Tian, she seemed to find the answer, murmuring in her heart: Maybe it’s because he said it...

...

After Adison Claire settled Xiang Yiting upright, Xiao Tian gestured for her to step away, and then the Iron Chain Cross River began operating in a wholly new manner, sometimes revolving forward and at times backward, becoming extremely unstable.

What Xiao Tian needed to do was find a stable node amidst this instability, then concentrate on it and instantly release it!
