Chapter 276 - Ziyang Sect (2/2)

“Save your breath and hurry up. I have something to do,” Xiao Chen said coldly.

He Shaoyi raised his head and laughed. “Gutsy!” Without a pause, he thrust his sword at Xiao Chen in a lightning-quick motion. Everyone turned pale as the clanging of metals resounded.

Xiao Chen didn’t even move. He pressed his forefinger and middle finger together and pinched He Shaoyi’s Immortal Sword in between. With the lightest bend of his fingers, the sword noisily broke into four to five pieces. He threw a palm attack with his other hand and sent He Shaoyi flying while coughing up blood.

“You! You…” He Shaoyi pointed to him, unable to finish his sentence. He swiftly crawled back up to his feet and led the other disciples down the mountain.

Those from Ziyang Sect had yet to recover their senses. Zi Yang said in bewilderment, “Luo’er, you…”

Xiao Chen shook his head. “I met an Esteemed Senior three days ago. It was him who imbued me with ten percent of his Mystic Skill.” He then hastily asked, “Oh, right. Master, did my Senior Brothers bring a lady here the other day? Where is she now?”

“Come with me.” Zi Yang didn’t question him further after seeing how worried he looked. He led Xiao Chen to a small house.

Zi Sha was still standing in place, looking spellbound. One reason was Wang Luo’s sudden explosive strength. The other was he didn’t look at her once since the very beginning.

The moment Xiao Chen pushed open the door to the small house, he nearly cried out. The lady lying on the reclining couch was indeed Huangfu Xin’er.

Huangfu Xin’er looked deathly pale as she lay on the couch, emanating the faintest of Qi. He hastily walked to her, pressed two fingers together, and placed them on her wrist. Upon a quick examination, he found that nearly all of her heart meridians were cut short.

“It’s fine. You can all leave now. I’ll be treating her injuries.”

The others said nothing else and closed the doors behind them as they left the house. Xiao Chen propped Huangfu Xin’er up and immediately sat cross-legged behind her. He began pouring True Energy into her.

“Xin’er, hold on. I’ll definitely save you.”

His heart was twisting in agony. She could very well leave that day, but she let go of the opportunity to block Zuoqiu Yang’s attack for him. The lacerating force of the spatial collapse was so intense and she didn’t have Evernight and Su Xiaomei protecting her. How could she take it?

Zhiluan finally couldn’t contain himself after keeping quiet for the whole day and muttered, “Meow! Kid, are you sure she can wake up?”

“Shut up!” Xiao Chen bellowed.

Remembering the half-full bottle of blood, he immediately took it out and carefully fed Huangfu Xin’er with it. Zhiluan muttered, “Meow! What a waste! You’re spilling it everywhere! You need to thin it out with water and feed her mouth-to-mouth.”

“Shut up!”

The day came to an end just like that. Xiao Chen stayed awake the entire night, pouring True Energy into Huangfu Xin’er the entire time and slowly healing her injured heart meridians. Even so, she remained unconscious and her Sign of Life remained very weak. She could perish at any time.

Suddenly, a quarrel broke out outside the door.

“Let me in!”

“Senior Brother Wang Luo doesn’t want anyone to enter while he heals the lady. Junior Sister, can’t you wait until it’s over?”

“Move aside!”

Before long, the door was loudly kicked open and an exasperated Zi Sha stood by the door. She said angrily, “Wang Luo! What did you tell my Father?”

Xiao Chen’s brows were deeply furrowed. He must not be distracted while pouring energy into Huangfu Xin’er. He could afford the injuries caused by the interruption, but Huangfu Xin’er was so weak that the injuries could very well be fatal.

Seeing him ignore her, Zi Sha became even angrier. “I asked you a question! Are you deaf? Wang Luo, I’m telling you that I’d rather die than marry you! It doesn’t matter who you speak to! Who do you think you are? My Father took you in out of pity back then! Stop dreaming of going above your station…!”

Xiao Chen was beginning to feel agitated. He harshly rebuked her. “Get out!”

Zi Sha was stunned but it quickly faded into fury. The fire raged even more when she saw that the lady in front of him was still prettier than her despite her pale complexion.

That was just how contradicting a woman’s feelings could be. She could be uninterested in a man, to the point where she ignored him, but when the man fell for another woman, she would feel uneasy somehow.

“How dare you shout at me! I won’t let you save her! Since you want to save her so desperately, I’ll kill her!”

“Clang.” She unsheathed her sword and attacked Huangfu Xin’er.
