Chapter 2217: Chapter 2218: Recovering from Injuries
This was a situation Sun Tianming had never seen before.
Cough... cough...
Lin Chen coughed dryly, with the warm Spiritual Energy input by Sun Tianming and Chen Jie nourishing his injured body, finally allowing him to wake up from unconsciousness.
"Are you... okay?"
Supported by Sun Tianming, Lin Chen opened his drowsy eyes, examining the two people in front of him. Seeing that they were unharmed, Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"We’re fine, but you..."
Chen Jie lifted Lin Chen’s clothing on his chest, revealing the hideous wound.
It was a result of a kick from a man earlier. Under the kick, his ribs were shattered, exacerbated by the rough carrying by the burly man, with the man’s shoulder bone pressing against his chest. After such a long journey, the injury showed signs of worsening, causing the fractured ribs to pierce through Lin Chen’s chest, revealing a ghastly whiteness underneath.
This was due to Lin Chen’s good physical condition. If it had been someone else, they likely wouldn’t have made it.
"No problem... cough... where are we now?"
Lin Chen waved his hand, a faint smile inadvertently appearing on his lips, trying to comfort them. But his injuries were too severe, causing him to cough constantly while speaking, and the color drained from his face, turning deathly pale.
Sun Tianming’s face was solemn as he gently patted Lin Chen’s back.
"I don’t know where we are, but the situation here doesn’t seem very good."
Sun Tianming sighed, recalling everything that had just happened, still feeling a chill. The strangeness here far exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, the intentions of the people before them were unclear, causing his heart to remain uneasy.
...
"Ancestor above, disciple Zheng Chuanhai, pays respects to the ancestor!"
Amidst their conversation, the man who had previously injured them slowly knelt on the ground at this moment.
His knees hit the ground, and then he heavily kowtowed a few times.
The hard ground and his head collided forcefully, producing a thudding sound that echoed in the hall. His head was visibly injured, bleeding.
The blood stain on the ground was absorbed by the stones in a mere moment, and after this absorption, the stones seemed to become more transparent.
This strange phenomenon did not catch Zheng Chuanhai’s eye, as if he was long accustomed to all of this.
The figure above did not move or speak, but after Zheng Chuanhai finished, he stood up, along with several burly men behind him.
After completing everything, they turned and walked towards Lin Chen and Sun Tianming.
"What do you want to do?!"
Sun Tianming stepped forward to block them, his face stern, showing determination.
"Whatever I intend to do, can you stop me?"
Zheng Chuanhai spoke no more words, only swung out a palm from thin air.
The palm strike carried explosive sounds, seemingly ordinary, but with an exceedingly powerful force.
The speed of the palm wasn’t fast, giving Sun Tianming enough time to react. He narrowed his eyes, preparing to intercept the blow.
But suddenly, his pupils contracted, and his body seemed to be controlled by something, unable to move at all despite his efforts.
The attack enlarged in his vision until it reached his face.
With a loud slap, Sun Tianming spun in place, blood spraying from his mouth with each turn!
His body then fell to the ground, eyes dazed, ears ringing.
Zheng Chuanhai approached Lin Chen, crouching halfway, and looked at Lin Chen with a smile.
Beside him, Chen Jie’s eyes burned with anger, her fists clenched, ready to protect Lin Chen the moment Zheng Chuanhai acted.
But abruptly, Zheng Chuanhai’s next action took Chen Jie by surprise.
Zheng Chuanhai took out a smooth, plump pill from his hand and handed it to Lin Chen, saying, "Take it, and your injuries will heal."
"What exactly... do you want to do?"
Lin Chen coughed dryly, completely unable to understand what this man was up to, injuring him and now trying to heal him. What exactly did he intend to do? Lin Chen was puzzled.
"Relax, the pill is non-toxic. If I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it already, wouldn’t need to wait until now. Besides, if you want to understand the reasons for all this, you must first recover." Zheng Chuanhai said lazily.
Lin Chen looked at the pill, then at Zheng Chuanhai, and then grabbed the pill and swallowed it.
"Lin Chen!"
Chen Jie, beside him, was anxious, regretting Lin Chen’s carelessness. Given the current situation and these people, they were certainly not kind-hearted, and the medicine they administered couldn’t be good, could it?
Lin Chen waved his hand, knowing Zheng Chuanhai wasn’t lying. If he wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago. That absolute suppression of power was beyond Lin Chen’s ability to resist, so why wait until now?
Since he had waited until now, there certainly was a specific purpose, a purpose only revealed by taking the pill.
Even if Lin Chen didn’t take it, Zheng Chuanhai had ample means to force him to swallow it given the current situation.
So the outcome would be the same.
As the pill entered his abdomen, the injuries within his body began healing rapidly, especially with his chest exposed, where the ribs seemed to be pulled back into his body by a great force.
A flow of Spiritual Energy circulated through the bones, aiding his recovery visibly.
The potency of the pill far exceeded the sum of all the medicines he had previously taken!
Not only was Lin Chen shocked by this, but Chen Jie was also astounded. Being familiar with alchemy and its effects under the tutelage of Chen Lin since childhood, she had never seen a pill that could heal injuries so rapidly!
But despite the shock, with the pill’s help, Lin Chen’s body quickly recovered, and the renewed strength surged through him, making him feel a sense of comfort.
He exhaled a long breath, feeling incredibly relieved.
"See, I didn’t deceive you." Zheng Chuanhai asked with a grin.
"What do you people really want?" Lin Chen looked up at Zheng Chuanhai, unafraid.
Something abnormal is definitely wrong, all these signs indicate an enormous scheme behind it!
"Actually, it’s nothing, just... want to borrow your body..."
