Chapter 425: I Have the Winning Ticket (2/2)
”Senior Brother Xiang Liang, seriously, after not seeing you for three days, I really have a whole new respect for you.”
In the frontline camps of Flaming Valley, w.a.n.g Lu could not bear to look straight at the wounded person on the sickbed that was wrapped like a bundle.
”Unexpectedly, in the past three days, in just one wave of attack from Qiong Hua… the price was so heavy.”
”Uhm…” The dumpling on the sickbed wobbled a bit and issued a hoa.r.s.e grunt, which was filled with pain. Obviously, the severity of the injury was already difficult to suppress.
Seeing this, w.a.n.g Lu was surprised. He was very clear of Xiang Liang's ability. In the valley ambush, around ten Shengjing Sect people sieged him using all they got. However, they were soundly wiped out by Xiang Liang's ”one hundred decapitations” style, which clearly showed Xiang Liang's dominance. However, unexpectedly, under Qiong Hua's hand, he ended into such a fate. At this time, he was reduced to almost nothing on the sickbed, only half a step away from the death, without the slightest bit of the power and prestige of the lead disciple of Royal Soldier Sect… Qiong Hua, oh Qiong Hua, are you this old hand Jindan going to make a special trip to slaughter the young?
Looking at the Xiang Liang in the sickbed, w.a.n.g Lu sighed. ”Don't mind it, Senior Brother Xiang Liang, it's already quite good for you to achieve this point because you're fighting a Jindan with your Xudan power. Leave the rest to me. After all, I'm the initiator of the alliance, so I can't just rely on my mouth forever, right? Otherwise, I probably could only take a little loli as a wife, which is really not my style.”
After sighing with emotion, w.a.n.g Lu turned around and was prepared to leave the ward. However, suddenly, a slightly weak voice came from behind him.
”What is a little loli?”
Turning his head, he found out that Xiang Liang's pale face was already near him.
After not seeing each other for three days, Xiang Liang still had his old-fas.h.i.+oned look, and still had the sword-like sharp countenance of the lead disciple of Royal Soldier Sect. The only difference was that his breathing was a lot weaker. However, looking at Xiang Liang's upright posture and his sharp gaze that hadn't been reduced in the slightest, anyone would know that it would be foolish to look down on him.
Even in his weak state, the lead disciple of Royal Soldier Sect still had a powerful explosive force. At that time Qiong Hua was repulsed, the reason was probably because of this...
However, at this time, w.a.n.g Lu was more concerned with...
”Em, I heard that people say this is your tent, but that person on the bed is…?”
Xiang Liang looked at the dumpling on the bed, and then said in a sinking voice, ”The brave warrior who established the greatest merit in that great battle. The medical conditions in Flaming Valley are limited and my medicine has been used up in the battle. The only thing I can do is to provide him with the best possible environment, but it seems like he would not last long.”
”Turns out to be so. It seems like watching the melodramatic romance that played recently does affect the IQ.”
However, Xiang Liang was still obsessed with the original question, ”What is a little Loli?”
”... It's nothing, it's not a problem that needs to be addressed now. Senior Brother Xiang Liang, how do you feel about your fight with Senior Sister Qiong Hua?”
Xiang Liang earnestly said, ”She is invincible in this world. I relied on the army integration method of Royal Soldier Sect to concentrate the power of a thousand Flaming Valley guardians, just to be able to barely confront her. But after that battle, the Flaming Valley guardians have fallen more than half. I was also seriously injured, so for a short time, it is difficult for me to have the strength to fight again.”
”Is Qiong Hua injured?”
”Minor only. Although the loss of power is great, she's a Jindan Stage, so in just one or two days, she would be sufficiently recovered.”
Upon hearing this, w.a.n.g Lu inwardly could not help but exclaim 'd.a.m.n.' The plan that originally had been brewing in his mind had to be thrown aside, and a new plan to counter it began to emerge.
Amidst the silent, Xiang Liang suddenly asked, ”So, how are you going to deal with Qiong Hua?”
”... This question is a bit too sharp, let me think about it again.”
w.a.n.g Lu said while thinking… however, if he had to be honest, he really didn't have any good way. In his original plan, Xiang Liang would at least hold Qiong Hua off several times longer, then he would take over him in dealing with Qiong Hua, until Zhan Ziye was finally able to break through his emotional barrier and launch the Eternal Tree.
However, right now, Xiang Liang no longer had the strength to fight, so the entire plan was completely interrupted. To continue the plan was easier said than done...
While he was pondering, suddenly, the ground under them trembled. Xiang Liang's countenance changed. He leaned down and put his ear on the ground. A moment later, he softly said.
”Qiong Hua is coming.”
w.a.n.g Lu could only smile wryly. Senior Sister Qiong Hua was indeed terrifying. Apart from her tyrannical power that dominated everyone, her ability to layout the plan was also top notch. She calculated that this was his side's most vulnerable period, so she launched the attack exactly at this most inappropriate time.
”Mm…” Xiang Liang stood up, looked at w.a.n.g Lu, and then nodded. ”This time, we'll have to depend on you, Junior Brother w.a.n.g Lu.”
At this time, w.a.n.g Lu finally had an idea. A smile rose up on his face as he stepped out of Xiang Liang's tent.
”Rest a.s.sured, it's just a mere Qiong Hua, I have a way to deal with her.”
With that, he clenched his mustard seed bag.
