Chapter 142: Crippled (1/2)

”Arghh!” Zuo Er yelled out in pain.

After seeing what had happened to him, Yen Fen was suddenly joyful. Through out the remaining journey as his shield, her hatred for him grew stronger and stronger.

Her throat was already sore from the constant screaming but she was able to muster a weak laugh.

”I hope you die bastard”, she thought to herself.

She looked on as Lan Huang appeared from behind her with another arrow ready to be released.

Zuo Er wasted no time and limped forward quickly.

”Come here and protect me!” he yelled at the spectating disciples.

Looking at their miserable leader, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and cover him. In the seconds it took to bring him out, Lan Huang released three more arrows. One struck his other calf and the other two pierced through his spine.

Zuo Er howled under the pain as several disciples of the Tao Feng quickly shielded him. He turned back and glared at Lan Huang with fury. Almost immediately, his expression of anger became shock and fear.

”My lower meridians...what did you do?!” he screamed out.

However Lan Huang ignored him and turned back.

”I swear I will repay you tenfold!” Zuo Er spoke menacingly, ”Agony and torment is nothing compared to what I will do with you!”

Thus, he left the mountain, his voice slowly drowned out.

Despite not killing him, Lan Huang looked satisfied with what he had done. However, Yen Fen was not.

”Why didn't you kill him?! Why?!” she asked him.

”Hmph, the next time you see him, you will understand that death is not the worst punishment in this world”, he answered before looking at her body.

His arrows were still stuck in her body. The fact that she was still conscious was rather impressive. Lan Huang walked up to her and knelt down.

”What are you doing?”

He reached out for the arrow in her shin.

”Don't move”, he calmly spoke and concentrated.

In one smooth motion, he took out the arrow and the wound began to spout fresh blood. He took out a white bandage and quickly wrapped it around the wound. He quickly moved, grabbing onto the six-headed arrow and broke off the shaft.

”This arrow needs to be removed a certain way, taking it out now would tear your shoulder apart. For now, it stays in there”, he told her.

He helped Yen Fen up and moved back towards Wen Jing's group. Walking up the mountain, four shadows flew past the as a recently awakened Qiu Bing chased after.

”Retreat! The Junior Sect Leader has escaped, there is no point in staying for much longer”, the voice of Zhou Dong entered their ears.

After giving a closer look, Lan Huang recognized her along with the fat elder, Wang Yuan, and the elder that used a fan. As for the rest, he didn't need to think very hard to know what happened to them.

”Come on! Where's that little bastard of yours?!” Qiu Bing yelled out.

Despite having just awoken from the effects of Zuo Er's Shen Shatter Bell, the emperor seemed almost unstoppable.

None of them noticed Lan Huang and Yen Fen passing by. Senior Qing, Fu Men, and Du Hua chased after Qiu Bing but stopped when they saw the pair.
