Ye Fan lifted the young girl into his arms and, while dashing forward at great speed, injected powerful Vitality Force into the girl’s body from his palm!
When he first saw the girl, Ye Fan had noticed that she suffered severe internal injuries, but there was still a breath of life in her, albeit very weak after being washed by the sea for so long; if one did not pay close attention, they might think she was already dead!
The girl’s body had damaged meridians and congested blood… She was completely ruined!
If left to others, it would truly be an impossible task to save her!
However, Ye Fan himself had received the inheritance from the dragon-patterned ring, and his medical skills surpassed those of the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue; moreover, with the mysterious powers from the Divinity Fragment to assist, healing the girl was not a difficult task.
“Mmhmm!”
When Ye Fan infused the girl with the ancient Qi Force from his body, almost clearing the congestion inside her, the girl let out a moan and wriggled in Ye Fan’s embrace.
At this time, Ye Fan was holding the girl around her waist.
With such a twist from the girl’s body, the Great Phoenix suddenly flew towards Ye Fan’s hand… utterly beyond his control…
Fuck!
Even though Ye Fan was battle-hardened and had seen the pinnacles of the world, he was somewhat overwhelmed at this moment.
Life is filled with scenery, but not all scenery is the same!
But remembering that his wife Yu Linglong was at a life-and-death crisis, Ye Fan quickly suppressed the flutter in his heart and sped towards the canyon, while in his hand, the Qi Force continued to Nourish and Cultivate, sorting out the meridians of the girl in his arms!
The girl’s meridians were very special, seemingly different from normal people. Ye Fan had discovered while sorting them out that there seemed to be a tide of an ancient Qi Force hidden within the girl’s bloodline.
That Qi Force faintly resembled the one from the Divinity Fragment!
Although Ye Fan was curious, now was not the time to investigate these things.
Ye Fan and the Four Great Maids by his side were already approaching the canyon, and some high-ranking experts from the Black Clothes Society on the way didn’t even require Ye Fan to take action; the Four Great Maids easily took care of them.
The sounds of fighting ahead were already clearly audible, and you could faintly hear Yu Linglong’s commanding voice.
…
Less than two minutes after Ye Fan had left with the girl, several speedboats rushed over the sea surface. A group of strangely dressed Martial Arts Experts jumped down from the boats and quickly searched around the seashore.
“Have you found the young lady?”
“No!”
“Nothing over here either!”
“Captain, what should we do now?”
Among the group, many were Martial Venerable Realm experts, all looking extremely anxious.
“What to do? Continue searching… The chief has repeatedly told us to ensure the young lady’s safety on this outing! If anything happens to her, all of us will lose our heads!” the captain scolded the people around him. “Also, pay special attention to Leader Nanba, the last person the young lady met was him; I suspect he has done something to her…”
“Nanba has taken the experts and entered the canyon with Deputy Commander Zhou Yao from another direction! I will take a group to follow and check on the situation, the rest of you continue searching around! Alive, we need to see the person; dead, we need to see the body, got it?”
“Yes!”
…
On the other side of the Penglai Canyon, Deputy Commander Zhou Yao and a pale-faced man stood atop a peak on the side of the canyon, overlooking the battle below. A sinister smile played on his lips, “Leader Nanba, the battle down there is almost over, it’s time for us to make our move!”
“Young Master Zhou, don’t worry, today will not delay your affairs!”
Zhou Yao burst into hearty laughter, “Leader Nanba, you misspoke, today isn’t just about my affairs! It’s also a great opportunity for you… By dealing with the internal obstacles, if you take down Penglai Canyon today, the entire Blood Demon Sect will have to heed your commands!”
“Haha! Well said, well said! Let’s go, it’s our turn to enter the battlefield! After this success, I hope Young Master Zhou will take good care of the future development of our Blood Demon Sect!”
“However, for safety’s sake, let’s not expose all our men at once! I have left two-thirds of them lurking outside in the seabed, just in case!”
Before taking action, Zhou Yao never intended to be cannon fodder, but instead planned to sit back and watch the tigers fight, delaying his re-entry to the fray until Yu Linglong and the Black Clothes Society had worn each other down.
Only by doing so could Zhou Yao gain more bargaining chips!
…
In the midst of Penglai Canyon, Matsumoto and his strong subordinates had already nearly finished off the hundreds of warriors around Yu Linglong.
At this moment, the hundred warriors that Yu Linglong had brought with her had suffered heavy casualties, leaving less than thirty people alive. With their backs against the Chaotic Era Mound for cover, they were being semi-circled by Matsumoto’s men, putting up their last struggle.
“Miss Yu Linglong, there’s no point in struggling! I must admit, the warriors from Xuanwu Region are indeed strong, a hundred of you killed two hundred of ours. A one-to-two casualty ratio, that’s quite impressive!” Matsumoto’s face was somewhat gloomy, “But now I still have at least three hundred men left, and you, thirty wounded, how long can you last?”
“Besides, aside from our Martial Lord fighters, we have Martial Emperor experts sitting in reserve. Yu Linglong… if you surrender, I guarantee no harm will come to any of you, and we will treat you all preferentially. I can even give you a position second only to one but above ten thousand!”
Recruiting Great Xia’s Number One Valkyrie had a strategic significance far more important than the recruitment itself.
Matsumoto understood this point well!
“Surrender? In your dreams… Matsumoto, do you think the people of Xuanwu Region are so easy to bully? Hmph! Let me tell you, it’s still uncertain who will die today!” Although she had prepared everything in advance, there had been no movement outside so far, which was making Yu Linglong anxious.
Since entering the canyon, nearly an hour had passed, and Yu Linglong wondered whether Leader Gu Feng had already accomplished the counter-encirclement?
With the Skycraft Formation, if their own furnace breached while the outside encirclement had not yet been completed, then the elite from the Black Clothes Society that Matsumoto brought today might all escape!
Hmm?
As the head of the Black Clothes Society in Great Xia and the deputy chief of the society, Matsumoto was not someone to be taken lightly. Hearing Yu Linglong’s defiant words, he began to be more cautious and lowered his head to inquire of the intelligence personnel beside him, “How is the situation with the brothers in charge of the perimeter alert?”
In dealing with Yu Linglong of the Xuanwu Region, Matsumoto was extremely cautious. Xuanwu Region, defending the southeast of Great Xia, was a force not to be underestimated. If things went awry, getting encased in a dumpling wrapper would be troublesome!
“Chief, the latest news we’ve got is that everything is normal at the Xuanwu Region headquarters with no traces of the movement of Martial Arts experts, and around Penglai Canyon, everything is normal with no other personnel movement. Only Deputy Commander Zhou Yao seems to be leading some men, approaching from the east side of the canyon, but not moving quickly!”
Listening to the report from his subordinate, Matsumoto felt slightly relieved but couldn’t help snorting coldly after hearing about Zhou Yao’s slow movement, “Hmph! This Zhou Yao, still trying to play mind games in front of me, if it weren’t for needing to use his status and identity, Laotzu would’ve wanted to slaughter him long ago!”
“Brothers! All of you, charge! Finish the battle within thirty seconds!”
No more delays, if Zhou Yao harbored any ulterior motives, then Matsumoto would be under great pressure! Thus, Matsumoto wanted to finish the battle before Zhou Yao arrived…
