Chapter 1909: Chapter 1907: Will Tian Boguang Die?
[Love you all, love the monthly ticket!]
Dead!
The leader of the black-robed men died under his own poisonous aura, meeting the same end of being obliterated both in body and spirit!
Ye Tianchen temporarily resolved the crisis for Desolate Stone Village, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this time, it almost led to the complete annihilation of Desolate Stone Village’s populace, which was no joke. The people of the Nine Netherworld are extremely ruthless, essentially a group of demons who kill without batting an eyelash!
Swish!
Ye Tianchen stood in front of Dongfang Meng, Zhang Ruotong, and Tianshuang, looking at these three who swore to defend Desolate Stone Village. In his absence, all the burdens were borne by these three women. Ye Tianchen was moved; these three women were truly important to him. Even if they weren’t intimate confidantes, they were more than that!
"Are you all okay?" Ye Tianchen asked with concern.
"We’re fine, but Brother Tian is severely injured..." Dongfang Meng looked at Ye Tianchen and said.
Ye Tianchen nodded, and his right hand slowly conjured a surge of Martial Arts True Power, which was immensely powerful. Gradually, it split into three parts, each enveloping Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, and Zhang Ruotong, slowly entering their bodies to heal them!
Dongfang Meng, Zhang Ruotong, and Tianshuang didn’t say much. After all, with Ye Tianchen’s return, everything was fine. They had great trust in Ye Tianchen, and as long as he was around, there was no need to worry about anything else!
Ye Tianchen didn’t linger to reminisce with them or chat but walked directly to Tian Boguang. He saw a large hole in Tian Boguang’s chest, with fresh blood continuously flowing out. Ye Tianchen approached Tian Boguang, squatted down immediately, and asked, "Brother Tian, how are you feeling?"
"Brother, you’re finally back. Don’t worry, I’m not dying yet!" Tian Boguang gritted his teeth, smiling with a hint of stubbornness.
Ye Tianchen extended his Divine Thought, and upon sensing Tian Boguang’s condition, he was taken aback and furrowed his brows. He then said, "Brother Tian, I must channel energy to heal you, we need to retreat into seclusion!"
"Cough cough... Brother, it’s not that serious, right? My body is as tough as iron!" Tian Boguang coughed out some black blood, smiling bitterly.
"There’s no time to delay. Feng Chan, bring that cauldron from the village over, I need it to heal Brother Tian!" Ye Tianchen instructed Fengchan’s five disciples as he looked at them.
Soon, many villagers of Desolate Stone Village resumed their daily lives, as all the people from the Nine Netherworld were slain by Ye Tianchen, and with his return, everyone felt at ease. However, within the courtyard where the old patriarch used to live, there stood a green cauldron. Inside the cauldron was Tian Boguang, who had already fallen unconscious. He was entirely submerged in the green cauldron, which was filled with some liquid concoction. This concoction was brewed from ordinary Spiritual Medicine Divine Herbs, used by Desolate Stone Village for the newborns to Wash Essence and Marrow!
Ye Tianchen clearly remembered that when the old patriarch was still alive, he had once told him about a cauldron in Desolate Stone Village with unknown origins or how ancient it was. No one knew how long it had existed in Desolate Stone Village, only that generations after generations were tasked with the duty to keep it close, and under no circumstances should it be left to drift away!
Eventually, after much research with no success in finding the correct usage of this cauldron, it was gradually used to Wash Essence and Marrow for the children of Desolate Stone Village, making their bones robust. Now, Ye Tianchen enclosed Tian Boguang within the cauldron, harboring only one wish—that Tian Boguang could survive.
However, watching Tian Boguang unconscious within the green cauldron, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but furrow his brows as he found that the liquid within the green cauldron did not seem to significantly benefit Tian Boguang’s injuries. His Divine Thought continually probed into Tian Boguang’s body, only to sense deteriorating conditions, causing Ye Tianchen to knit his brows tightly!
"Boss, is the liquid in the green cauldron ineffective for Brother Tian?" Hu Gao asked anxiously.
"It seems so at the moment!" Ye Tianchen replied with a frown.
"What should we do? Would using power for healing yield better and faster results?" Hu Gao asked anxiously.
"No, I checked Brother Tian’s injuries from the start. His injuries aren’t just on the surface, the key issue is that he’s infected with the vicious power from the Nine Netherworld, called ’Netherworld Ghost Hand!’" Ye Tianchen shook his head and replied.
"So that’s the Netherworld Ghost Hand..." Dongfang Meng recalled something and couldn’t help but speak.
When Hu Gao broke through and went looking for Ye Tianchen, the guardians of Desolate Stone Village were Tian Boguang, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, and Zhang Ruotong. At that time, Tian Boguang was the strongest among them, naturally taking the lead. Living in Desolate Stone Village for so long, Tian Boguang was moved by its simplicity and deeply influenced by it. So, he fell in love with this place and considered it home. Previously, Tian Boguang was an evil man everyone wanted to kill, but here, he experienced the villagers’ friendly interactions. This greatly affected the always solitary Tian Boguang, who fell in love with this place!
To protect the people of Desolate Stone Village, Tian Boguang charged into battle first. After killing a few black-robed men from the Nine Netherworld, he encountered one with a cultivation realm at Late Stage Martial Saint and extremely ruthless methods. Initially, Tian Boguang was no match because his cultivation realm was at Mid-stage Martial Saint, and those from the Nine Netherworld were often far stronger. However, Tian Boguang fought to the death and managed to kill this powerful figure from the Nine Netherworld, though he was gravely injured himself.
"Yes, it’s the same strange power I encountered the first time I faced a strong figure from the Nine Netherworld. Even with my current cultivation, I can’t expel this sinister power!" Ye Tianchen frowned and said.
At this moment, Dongfang Meng remembered that the affliction on Tian Boguang was the "Netherworld Ghost Hand." Years ago, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng went to Song Mountain to attend the Ancient Martial World conference, intending to rescue Tian Boguang. Along the way, they encountered a formidable Blood Shadow from the Nine Netherworld. Ye Tianchen fought fiercely against it, resulting in mutual injury. Even after being struck by the "Netherworld Ghost Hand," no matter how hard Ye Tianchen tried using power to heal or how Dongfang Meng recklessly transmitted her Martial Arts True Power to Ye Tianchen, nothing helped in removing the strange power from Ye’s body!
At that time, they were fortunate that Old Beggar Feng Qingyang appeared, capable of countering the "Netherworld Ghost Hand" with the "Divine Light Great Flame Curse." This Divine Art was rumored to expel all darkness and bring light to the world, but it had long been lost. Yet, unexpectedly, Old Beggar Feng Qingyang had mastered it and saved Ye Tianchen.
However, now that Tian Boguang is afflicted by this strange power of the "Netherworld Ghost Hand," Ye Tianchen hasn’t cultivated the "Divine Light Great Flame Curse" and can’t use such a powerful Divine Art to remove the strange force from Tian Boguang’s body. Plus, where would they find Senior Feng Qingyang now? He’s nowhere to be found!
"I remember Senior Feng Qingyang once said the strange power of the Netherworld Ghost Hand is nearly indomitable except for the Divine Light Great Flame Curse. What should we do?" Dongfang Meng asked anxiously.
"I don’t know either. We’ll just have to try other methods as much as possible," Ye Tianchen said, unable to think of a good solution.
For the next three days and nights, Ye Tianchen stayed by the Green Cauldron, personally healing Tian Boguang. But Boguang’s injuries were too severe; not only were his physical injuries irreparable, but a strange power was also causing internal and external devastation to his body, leaving him extremely debilitated!
"It’s bad, Brother Tian’s injuries haven’t shown any signs of healing; on the contrary, they’re worsening. I’m afraid he’ll perish within three days!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown, muttering to himself.
By now, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and Hu Gao had nearly recovered from their injuries. And Liu Rumei was always by Ye Tianchen’s side, staying in the room once occupied by the old patriarch. They all guarded the Green Cauldron daily, hoping to find a way to save Tian Boguang!
"Tianchen, how is Brother Tian’s condition?" Liu Rumei asked.
"It’s getting worse. I don’t know how much longer Brother Tian can last at this rate!" Ye Tianchen said with his brow tightly furrowed.
"Is there... no way at all?" Tianshuang asked anxiously.
"Maybe my unique power can do it..." Zhang Ruotong suggested.
"It’s no use. Senior Feng Qingyang once said this strange power of the Netherworld Ghost Hand is nearly indomitable except for the Divine Light Great Flame Curse," Dongfang Meng shook her head and said.
"Ordinary Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass is also unlikely to achieve this," Ye Tianchen said in a highly anxious manner.
Hu Gao glanced at Ye Tianchen, seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "Maybe there’s something that can save Brother Tian..." (To be continued.
