Chapter 375: Chapter 80 Thunder and Lightning_3
Xuan Yuan bitterly smiled. The pain from his entire body caused his face to spasm. He forced out, "When did I ever say I wanted to kill you? Is this kid dead yet?"
Yan Li angrily said, "You’re the one who’s dead. No, you could die a hundred times and Ah Dai would still be alive."
At this point, Xuan Yuan had no mood to argue with Yan Li. He frowned and said, "He’s not dead? Then there’s still hope. Give this to him to eat, and each of you take one too." Speaking, he took out five fragrant Golden Cores from his chest. These Golden Cores were extremely precious and had been created by the church using its influence to collect hundreds of valuable herbs according to an ancient recipe. Only important personalities in the church would be given this, possessing the power to bring life and manage death. Even Holy Judges at their level only had one each. Xuan Yuan, as the Judgment Chief of the church, initially resisted when the Pope gave him ten healing Golden Cores. Unexpectedly, they proved useful today.
Yan Li ungratefully snorted, "So, failing to beat our Ah Dai, you now want to poison us? Dream on, we won’t eat your stuff."
Xuan Yuan frowned and said, "If you don’t want him to die, do as I say. Even though I’m seriously injured now, I wouldn’t need to resort to poison to kill someone like you. To be honest with you, I’m with the church. I came here just to test this kid’s abilities, not to kill you. I’m not your enemy. Who knew this kid would be so twisted and use this harmful strategy."
Surprised, Yan Li said, "What? You’re from the church? We’ve had enough bad luck in the Empire of Sunset, and now you church people want to have a hand in it. The ones closest to the Sky God, I see. You’re just a bunch of idle fraudsters." Although he had such words in his mouth, Yan Li knew from Xuan Yuan’s previous performance that Xuan Yuan had not lied. His power, filled with a sacred aura, could only be possessed by people from the church. Yan Li snatched the five elixirs from Xuan Yuan’s hand and shoved one into his own mouth. As soon as the Golden Core melted in his mouth, he felt a warmth rise from his Dantian, making his body feel much more comfortable. After a complete circulation of True Qi throughout his body without encountering any issues, Yan Li then distributed the remaining Golden Cores to Ah Dai and others.
After eating the Golden Cores, Ah Dai and Yan Shi became noticeably calmer. Yan Shi’s breath evened out, his injury quickly healed under the effect of the medicine. Although Ah Dai was still in a coma, his heartbeat was much stronger. Seeing their condition stabilize, Xuan Yuan returned to sit with the four Holy Judges to meditate and recuperate.
When the night fell, aside from Ah Dai, the physical condition of everyone else had improved significantly. After hearing Holy Judge Kai Di’s explanation, everyone was less hostile towards Xuan Yuan and the others.
Ever since he began meditating, Xuan Yuan hadn’t spoken a word. Sitting under a tree not far from the group, Xuan Yuan thought, although his body had recovered, his hair and beard had been scorched by the lightning. He had to completely shave off the remaining long hair with his fighting energy. He wondered what kind of joke he would become if his pope brother saw him. The dignified Judgment Chief of the church had actually become a bald head, it was simply... It was all this kid named Ah Dai who got him into such a predicament. He really wanted to have another fight with him. If he attacked Ah Dai with full strength, Ah Dai probably wouldn’t even be able to use that self-destructive move. But after a day, the kid was still not awake, how could he challenge him again? Even though he would not die, who knew when he would wake up. Fine, he would just help him. Going back with such news would also be an explanation to the Pope. Having thought this, Xuan Yuan got up and walked towards Ah Dai.
Yan Shi watched cautiously as Xuan Yuan approached and asked suspiciously, "What are you trying to do?" Looking at Xuan Yuan’s bald head, Yan Shi almost laughed out loud, the dignified aura of Xuan Yuan was completely demolished by his present bald look. He did look funnily similar to his own brothers, three bald heads were indeed amusing.
Xuan Yuan glared at Yan Shi and said, "The kid has been in a coma for a long time. Who has time to wait for him here? I’ll see if I can rouse him."
Yan Shi frowned, moved aside, letting Xuan Yuan walk up to Ah Dai. Xuan Yuan took Ah Dai’s hand and placed it on his wrist, transferring his Sacred Aura into Ah Dai’s body. After a while, Xuan Yuan couldn’t help but knit his brow. Ah Dai’s condition was even worse than he had thought, with his body’s meridians seriously damaged. Some meridians were even severed into several sections, no wonder he had not woken up. If it wasn’t for the strong vitality in his body barely maintaining a part of his meridians, he would probably be a cripple even if he survived.
Seeing Xuan Yuan’s grave look, Yan Shi felt his heart sink and asked, "What...what Chief...what’s my brother’s condition?"
Xuan Yuan gave Yan Shi a stern look and said, "Dumbass, it’s Judgement Chief. If your brother doesn’t receive effective treatment within ten days, he will be crippled."
Yan Shi was aghast and said, "What did you say? Explain clearly, what does ’crippled’ mean?"
Xuan Yuan snorted and said, "His technique of thunder and lightning was too overpowering and he burned himself. Thirty percent of his meridians are completely severed, many of which are very important main meridians. Haven’t you noticed?"
