Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220: Fleeing in Disarray
Hao Shuai was feeling frustrated; he initially intended to flee, but now it seemed not that easy.
They were surely on guard for him attempting to escape. As expected, Senior Brother Lin Hao dashed forward, and the two junior brothers also came running, brandishing their swords at Hao Shuai.
At this moment, Hao Shuai retreated a few steps, his eyes searching around for any other way out. However, the four did not give him any more chances; they simultaneously unsheathed their swords, forcing Hao Shuai to dodge repeatedly, unwilling to engage.
Soon, Hao Shuai was struck on the arm by Lin Hao’s sword, causing him to inhale sharply in pain. He gritted his teeth and thought, "Hmph, don’t think I fear you; I just don’t want to continue entangling with you. Press me further, and I’ll take you down with me."
Pure Yang Feifei saw Hao Shuai’s sinister expression and knew he was planning something dangerous, so she quickly flew over, seizing the chance to strike down Hao Shuai.
However, the next moment, Hao Shuai revealed an evil smile. Suddenly, he clasped Pure Yang Feifei’s sword and shouted loudly, "Star Absorption Technique!"
Instantly, Pure Yang Feifei felt her body immobilized, her whole being severely drawn in, and her Powerful Qi slowly draining away.
The other two junior brothers saw the situation and hurried forward to rescue her, but as they thrust their swords, they too were fiercely drawn in, similarly having their Powerful Qi absorbed.
At this time, Lin Hao saw this and realized direct attacks wouldn’t work; he needed to find an angle to sneak attack. Lin Hao leaped, soaring over Hao Shuai’s head, then rushed to his back and sent a Sword Qi from afar.
The Sword Qi made a sharp "woosh" sound, hitting Hao Shuai fiercely, almost causing him to stagger and fall.
Blood had already begun to trickle from the corners of his mouth, clearly showing he was injured. At the same time, Pure Yang Feifei and the two junior brothers escaped Hao Shuai’s grasp.
"Everyone don’t make contact with him, just attack from a distance; he can perform the Star Absorption Technique." Lin Hao, having learned from experience twice, knew not to touch Hao Shuai directly, so he shouted to the junior and senior sister.
Everyone nodded, leaving Hao Shuai feeling frustrated that his trick was uncovered, making it challenging to proceed. However, when he looked up, he realized he was standing right at the door, and Pure Yang Feifei and the others had overlooked it.
Hao Shuai smirked quietly, a quick sidestep intending to sprint towards the entrance, feeling delighted inside, thinking he could escape so easily.
But just as he reached the door, suddenly, he felt a fierce Palm Wind sweeping in from behind.
Hao Shuai was shocked, turned to look back, and with an "ah," he was sent flying backward, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood before getting up and taking the last smoke bomb from his pocket, exerting all his strength to throw it out.
Immediately, the whole cave was enveloped in smoke, rendering everything invisible. Then, Hao Shuai saw the chance to escape limping away, yet his injuries were severe, needing timely treatment, or he’d surely die.
Now Wu Mengting was injured, and Chen Tianlong had no time to pursue.
Inside the smoke-filled cave, as it cleared, Chen Tianlong held Wu Mengting, shouted several times, then dug out a Super Great Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket, which was a reward from the Celestial Pill Sect’s trial, as was Lin Wushuang’s pill on Chen Tianlong’s person.
Without hesitation, Chen Tianlong shoved the Great Rejuvenation Pill into Wu Mengting’s mouth, but how would she swallow it? Such a large pill, Chen Tianlong suddenly thought of the nearby stream, immediately walked over, and scooped up some water, but it drained out quickly.
In a moment of urgency, Chen Tianlong lowered his head, lips touching the water surface, took a mouthful, held it, then ran to Qiukui, helped her up, hesitated for a moment recalling Qiukui risking her life to save him, directly put his mouth to Qiukui’s small mouth, feeding the water as such.
The medicine finally went down Qiukui’s throat, allowing Chen Tianlong to breathe a sigh of relief, then he helped Qiukui up and sat behind her, immediately starting the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
Earlier, during the critical moment, Chen Tianlong had mastered the Bone Marrow Cleansing Divine Skill, and now his Powerful Qi had made a qualitative leap. Chen Tianlong’s Celestial Dao Seven Stars had reached a peak state.
His Celestial Dao Seven Stars, different from others, now showed very distinct Five Elements and Seven Attributes within him, and his Heart Method was very focused and pure; the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique was already his entire Heart Method, his cultivation entirely falling within the Heart Method range of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
Therefore, at this time, Chen Tianlong’s power exceeded the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, but to what extent, even he wasn’t quite sure.
Just then, Chen Tianlong gathered his Powerful Qi, placed a palm on Qiukui’s body, and injected Qi so pure it couldn’t be purer into Qiukui’s body.
Instantly, Qiukui’s body reacted.
"Cough cough... poof!"
Wu Mengting, half asleep and half awake, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, making those beside her startled.
Then, Chen Tianlong took out a row of silver needles from his pocket, pulling them all out, but then a problem arose, wearing clothes, how could the needles be inserted?
"Cough cough, Pure Yang Feifei, please come over, can the others turn around because we need Qiukui to remove her clothes for treatment."
Chen Tianlong felt somewhat embarrassed saying this, as it implied he’d see too.
But recalling he had already seen Qiukui once before, once more shouldn’t matter.
Pure Yang Feifei understood the urgency, walked over without hesitation, while Lin Hao and the two junior brothers moved back, turning to sit for meditation and healing.
Chen Tianlong helped Qiukui behind a large rock, then called Pure Yang Feifei to assist, removing Qiukui’s upper garment.
"Hmph, you don’t know how to help her yourself, why call me."
Pure Yang Feifei found it amusing. Whether he asked her to remove it, he’d see it all during acupuncture anyway, so how was it different from him doing it personally?
Chen Tianlong could only smile ruefully, understanding Pure Yang Feifei’s point, yet he explained, "Sister Feifei, I’m a doctor; between doctor and patient, there is no gender difference. The matter is urgent; please quickly assist."
Pure Yang Feifei just grumbled a little, witnessing Qiukui on the verge of death made her heartache; a lively girl had been beaten like this, doesn’t it break your heart just thinking?
So, Pure Yang Feifei went over, said little, and directly took off Qiukui’s clothes.
"Chen Tianlong, listen up; Qiukui is a good person. If given the chance, repay her well."
Pure Yang Feifei knew Chen Tianlong had a girlfriend but felt a woman’s body was vital. Everyone saw what happened; this silly girl sacrificed her life, doesn’t she deserve care?
"Mm."
Chen Tianlong did not explain, surprisingly calm, nodding, which was also his commitment.
Soon, Pure Yang Feifei removed Wu Mengting’s upper garments, and when Chen Tianlong turned to look, his breath quickened.
"Hmph, Chen Tianlong, you may look, but if you dare misbehave, I’ll be the first to not forgive you."
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s starry-eyed gaze, Pure Yang Feifei understood men’s reactions; no matter how you put it, they’d always react, yet she wanted to remind him.
