Chapter 416 Ch 416: Saving People
Wang Qi lay unconscious and heavily injured, but he was not dead. Assuming he was one of the individuals who had set up the Myriad Killing Sword Formation to track down the eighteen demonic cultivators, Ling Xiaolong suddenly had an idea.
"I'll save this person and have him teach me the method to set up the Myriad Killing Sword Formation."
Ling Xiaolong's eyes gleamed brightly. He was ready to take a step forward and had planned a few steps for the future.
"I'll use the Myriad Killing Sword Formation to eliminate all... No, I'll first decipher the Myriad Killing Sword Formation and devise my own killing sword formation that will be much stronger and more lethal. Achieving this with the assistance of my Eyes of Insight and the Comprehensive Energy from the Timeless Enlightenment Seed will not be difficult."
Ling Xiaolong used the Life Recovery ability on Wang Qi, enough to just wake him up. He did not help Wang Qi recover his injuries completely. Wang Qi's injuries were still very severe, to the extent where he could hardly move.
Wang Qi slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were blurry at first and his head was heavy.
When the blur before his eyes was cleared, he saw an unfamiliar face.
Previously, when Ling Xiaolong teleported, all he saw was Ling Xiaolong's back that was covered in blood. He never saw his face so he did not recognize Ling Xiaolong.
Ling Xiaolong also knew this fact so he was not worried about anything. He smiled at Wang Qi and said, "Are you alright?"
"Ugh~"
Wang Qi wanted to speak but all he could do was groan in pain. He also tried to move but every movement brought a painful experience that he had forgotten millions of years ago.
All Wang Qi could think was why was he in this state!
He could not recall the events that made him fall in this situation where all he could was endure a hellish pain.
But...
All he needed was a few moments and he started recalling everything. The memories of that explosion appeared as clear as sky in his mind.
"Uncle Zhenwei!"
He recalled that the person to withstand the direct burnt of that explosion was Wang Zhenwei. He could not help but become anxious and call out Wang Zhenwei. He tried to move but was unable to. Instead, his action brought an unbearable pain that he found difficult to endure.
"Urghh!"
All he could do was scream in pain. He wanted to go and take a look at the situation, find out what happened to Wang Zhenwei. It was unfortunate that he was unable to do anything.
"Hey, you are gravely injured. Do not move!"
Ling Xiaolong reminded him kindly.
Ling Xiaolong's words reminded Wang Qi that a person was standing in front of him. He looked at Ling Xiaolong anxiously and said, "C-an you c-check overrr the-ere and see if any-one is alive?"
Ling Xiaolong frowned as he gazed in the direction Wang Qi had attempted to look before. That spot was the epicenter of the explosion, the very place he had intended to go earlier.
'Are there others?'
Ling Xiaolong could not help but question himself. There were clearly only eighteen people. If he is included, then there were only nineteen people.
Now that he was here and eighteen were dead, who were these people fighting?
Ling Xiaolong's frown grew deeper. He also wanted to know the answer, so he nodded and said, "Ok, I'll go and check!"
With that, he stood up and walked in the direction of explosion.
"What the f*ck happened here?"
As he approached the center of the blast, he could see a huge crater that seemed more like an abyss. His eyes glowed with green color and looked at the traces of battle in the surroundings.
"It seems that the power of explosion surpassed the limit. Generally speaking, thie entire valley should have been destroyed, however, something seemed to have blocked most of the explosion. Even so, the impact of the remaining explosion that leaked out was enough to create thisabyss-like crater and burn that Master of Chaos."
Nothing could remain hidden from his Eyes of Insight. With the help of these eyes, he was able to trace everything back to their origin and was able to deduce what must have happened.
He looked around more throughly and searched for any sign of life.
He did find someone. It was a middle-aged man on the brink of death. If not saved immediately, he would die in the next few minutes.
This person's situation was worse than anything Ling Xiaolong had ever seen. This person had lost three of his limbs. Only his left hand was still there, but even that hand were burned charred black.
One could imagine the condition of this middle-aged man just from the loss of his three limbs and leftover, burned left hand.
Indeed, not only his left hand, but his entire body was burned to an unrecognizable state. If something was left, then only his face was still recognizable enough for people to tell the identity of this person and that he is a middle-aged man.
This person seemed to be in a deep sleep. Obviously, he had fallen in coma.
Ling Xiaolong used "Life Recovery" on the middle-aged man continuously. At the same time, he took out a drop of Morning Brilliance Dew and dripped it inside the middle-aged man's mouth. Then he used his Celestial Energy to forcefully slide the drop of Morning Brilliance Dew to his stomach.
Life Recovery had already recovered most of his physical injuries and added some time to the middle-aged man's life.
As for the drop of Morning Brilliance Dew, it was just enough to help the middle-aged man recover internally to some extent.
It should be noted that the middle-aged man was severely injured and in critical condition. Not only was his external body badly damaged, but his internal organs were also scorched and in disarray. He had come perilously close to losing his life.
One drop of Morning Brilliance Dew coupled with a few stacked-up "Life Recovery" was just enough to heal this man's outer and internal wounds and help him hold on his life.
Morning Brilliance Dew is very unique and invaluable. It has many uses. One of them is that it can immediately heal even a person who is almost dead. The Morning Brilliance Dew could also cure curses and remove negative effects. Most of all, it could also help a warrior regenerate their lost body parts.
Had Ling Xiaolong wanted, he could have easily healed the middle-aged man completely. But he did not do so. He wanted to obtain something from these people, and in order to do so, he has to take one step at a time. He could not rush things.
After insuring that the middle-aged man was safe, Ling Xiaolong looked around, searching for other people or at least their corpse. However, he found nothing. It seems that the opponent of this middle-aged man has vanished completely.
Why did Ling Xiaolong thought like this and did not suspect that the person he saved earlier, Wang Qi, was this person's enemy?
It is because Wang Qi looked very anxious earlier and called out a name — Uncle Zhenwei.
From the almost-shattered armor on this middle-aged man's body, Ling Xiaolong could tell that this person must be the Uncle Zhenwei that person called out.
"Just who was their opponent?"
Ling Xiaolong frowned and started thinking whether he missed something or not.
Just when he was about to shake his head, he suddenly recalled the carriage that was guarded by the scar-faced man.
According to the scar-faced man, there was a 'significant individual' inside that carriage and they were going to the Red Mist City to find an alchemist.
However, in reality, they were going to the Red Mist City to kidnapp the two people from the Wang Family.
What if that 'significant individual' was the nineteenth Master of Chaos and the strongest of them all?
What if that 'significant individual' was this middle-aged man's opponent?
The moment this thought appeared in Ling Xiaolong's mind, he immdiately realized that his guess is closest to the truth. This must be what happened—most likely.
Ling Xiaolong no longer looked for anyone. He brought the limbless man next to the person he saved earlier and said, "I found this person. He was about to die. You can thank me later for saving his life. However, whether he will wake up or not will depend on you people's performances."
As he said, he turned to his right side, and there stood more than ten Masters of Chaos in armor, each bearing the same crest. They were coldly staring at Ling Xiaolong, preparing to attack. However, Wang Qi intervened, saying, "Don't attack. He is our benefactor. He saved me, and look, he even brought Uncle Zhenwei here. He also mentioned treating Uncle Zhenwei and saving his life. There is no need to harm our benefactor."
