“Oh no! Grandpa Feng hasn’t come out yet!” At this moment, Xu Ling suddenly exclaimed.
Han Zhao frowned.
When he brought Xu Ling to hit the wall just now, Feng Xiao was clearly following behind him, but he did not come out now. Clearly, it was a little difficult for a martial artist who had eaten Fiendish Corpse meat to leave this village.
“What should I do? It’s over!” Xu Ling looked at Taoyuan Village which was enveloped in black fog in a daze.
Feng Xiao had always treated her very well. In her heart, he was like a kind grandfather. He was not just a registered elder.
However, with her strength, she would only die if she went in again.
As a top expert who had broken through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough of the Blood Tempering Realm, Feng Xiao might have a chance of escaping unscathed.
If she went in and caused trouble, it was very easy for both of them to be trapped.
At this moment, the only person beside her who had the strength to save Feng Xiao was Junior Brother Han.
However, how could she bear to let Junior Martial Brother Han enter danger again? Even if Junior Martial Brother Han was powerful, what if something happened?
It was already a huge favor that Junior Brother Han could save her!
Xu Ling clenched her fists tightly.
She usually thought that she was not bad, but now, she only hated herself for being so weak.
“Senior Sister Xu, stay here and don’t move. I’ll go in and help,” Han Zhao took the initiative to say.
There were still many Blood Corpses inside. He could not waste this Yin energy!
In the battle just now, he had still held back. He still had more than half of his true qi left.
In terms of combat strength, he might not be stronger than Feng Xiao, who was at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough of the Blood Tempering Realm, but Pure Yang True Qi was extremely effective against these monsters.
Furthermore, Feng Xiao and the others had eaten the Fiendish Corpse meat and their strength had been greatly reduced.
According to the previous simulation, Feng Xiao had killed his way out of this mission with Xu Ling. Even if he did not go in to help, Feng Xiao should be able to come out alive.
However, Feng Xiao was severely injured at that time. Yin energy entered his body and he died not long after returning to Blackrock City.
Now that Xu Ling was worried about Feng Xiao’s safety, he didn’t even need to find a reason to enter!
When Xu Ling heard this, her face was filled with worry and joy. Her expression was extremely conflicted. In the end, she shook her head and said, “Junior Brother Han, it’s too dangerous inside! You don’t have to take the risk for me! Grandpa Feng will be fine…’
Han Zhao stopped in his tracks.
He originally wanted Xu Ling to ask for his help, so he could take the opportunity to agree. After all, the loss of this mission was a heavy blow to the Zhang family, the Xu family, and the Su family. The one who lost the most was Xu Ling.
However, he did not expect that not only did Xu Ling not beg him, but she also did not let him take the risk.
On the contrary, it made him seem petty. Not only did he underestimate Xu Ling, but he also underestimated his status in her heart.
“That’s enough.” Han Zhao reached out and patted Xu Ling’s face. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, believe me.”
With that, Han Zhao ran towards the village without hesitation.
Xu Ling looked at Han Zhao’s departing figure and felt as if she was about to lose someone important. She couldn’t help but feel suffocated.
Under this feeling, the intense pain in his right shoulder seemed to be nothing. She subconsciously shouted, “Junior Brother Han—I”
Han Zhao stopped in his tracks. When he turned around, he saw Xu Ling take out something from her arms and throw it at him with all her might.
He reached out to take it. It was a white porcelain bottle.
“This is a healing pill! Be careful!” Xu Ling shouted.
After shouting this, she seemed to have used all her strength. “Got it.” Han Zhao flashed and disappeared into the black fog.
Han Zhao’s vision blurred.
In the next second, he appeared in the center of the village.
Not far away, the sounds of intense fighting and the screams of martial artists kept coming.
“Yu Niang, prepare to lead the way!” Han Zhao instructed Yu Niang on his shoulder.
Yu Niang flapped her wings and left Han Zhao’s shoulder, circling above his head.
Han Zhao quickly rushed toward the place where the battle happened.
His goal in returning to the village was very simple. He wanted to kill the Blood Corpse to accumulate Yin energy and save Feng Xiao.
After spending half a month together, Han Zhao felt that Feng Xiao was indeed not bad.
In the previous simulation, he did not come to Taoyuan Village. Feng Xiao risked his life to protect Xu Ling and escaped. In the end, he died from serious injuries. It could be seen that Feng Xiao treated Xu Ling very well and was definitely willing to keep his secret for her.
After all, there was no conflict of interest between the two sides. Instead, they had common interests.
As for the others, he could only let them die.
In any case, he had already done his best. He was weak and careless. He deserved to die.
Coincidentally, there were not many living people left here.
When Han Zhao arrived, he discovered that there were still six martial artists trapped in the alley by two groups of Blood Corpses.
The Xu family’s registered elders, Feng Xiao and Sun Yuan, were both present. The remaining four people, two men and two women, were all experts at the Bone Tempering Realm.
Feng Xiao and Sun Yuan each led two Bone Tempering Realm martial artists to block the entrances to the alley and relied on the terrain to support themselves.
Although these monsters were not as strong as them, they were almost as tough as bronze and were very difficult to kill.
However, the cold qi in his body became thicker and thicker. Even with Feng Xiao’s third Blood Qi Breakthrough strength at the Blood Tempering Realm, he felt his blood qi stagnate. It was only a matter of time before he was dragged to death here.
“Han Zhao and Third Miss didn’t eat the food here. They should be able to escape, right?”
Feng Xiao thought to himself.
Then, he shouted, “Come on, you monsters! I’ll fight you to the death!”
As he spoke, Feng Xiao erupted with blood qi. Like a dying light, his strength increased greatly. The saber in his hand slashed horizontally, and the three Blood Corpses were beheaded at the same time.
When the two martial artists behind him saw this, the dispirited expression on their faces immediately perked up, as if they had seen the hope of survival.
They hurriedly followed and coordinated with Feng Xiao’s left and right wings. “Ah! Sun Yuan! F*ck your mother!”
However, two extremely miserable cries sounded from behind the three of them.
It turned out that Sun Yuan was gradually unable to hold on under the siege of the Blood Corpses. Seeing Feng Xiao suddenly erupt, he immediately ran back. In order to fight for his hope of survival, he directly struck out with both palms and sent the two Bone Tempering Realm martial artists beside him into the group of Blood Corpses.
The two of them were instantly dismembered by the Blood Corpse and their screams stopped.
The terrifying scene behind him immediately shocked the two people beside Feng Xiao.
Bang!
At this moment, Feng Xiao was blocked by a large number of Blood Corpses. Although he cut off the Blood Corpse’s head again, he was also forced back by the recoil. However, he quickly rushed up again and withstood the pressure.
The other two Bone Tempering Realm martial artists were not so lucky. They were swallowed by the Blood Corpses that rushed over from behind.
“As expected of an expert with third Blood Qi Breakthrough!” Han Zhao looked at Feng Xiao’s bold saber technique and could not help but click his tongue in admiration.
If Feng Xiao had not eaten the Fiendish Corpse’s flesh and could not unleash his full strength, in a one-on-one situation, even he did not dare to say that he would definitely defeat him unless he used the Sword Drawing Technique.
Moreover, this person did not use the two people behind him as shields at such a critical moment. Instead, he alone withstood most of the pressure.
In comparison, Sun Yuan seemed a little despicable.
Of course, even if Sun Yuan was a gentleman, Han Zhao would not save him.
“Register Feng, hold on!” Han Zhao shouted and rushed into the group of Blood Corpses from behind.
“Han Zhao?!” Feng Xiao was surprised and delighted.
Sun Yuan was so excited that he went crazy. He shouted, “Hurry up and save
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Han Zhao was like a train driving into the crowd at full speed, knocking the Blood Corpses over. Not a single Blood Corpse could survive a single move from his Pure Yang True Qi.
The originally crowded alley was forcefully opened up by him.
At this moment, Sun Yuan waved his fists desperately and repelled the Blood Corpse beside him. At the same time, he quickly leaned toward Han Zhao.
On the other hand, Feng Xiao, who was withstanding the pressure behind him, was surrounded by more Blood Corpses.
“Take me away! Feng Xiao can’t be saved!”
After Sun Yuan rushed to Han Zhao’s side, he hurriedly shouted.
“Get lost!” What greeted him was Han Zhao’s iron fist.
“You’re crazy!” Sun Yuan was shocked and hurriedly punched back.
“Pfft!”
Sun Yuan’s arm was in pain from this punch. His body slammed into the wall and he was instantly surrounded by the Blood Corpses that rushed over.
Due to the Yin energy entering his body, he could not unleash his full strength, to begin with, not to mention that he only had the strength of the first Blood Qi Breakthrough. Now that he had suffered a heavy blow from Han Zhao, he spat out blood, and his stamina was greatly damaged. He was quickly killed by the Blood Corpse.
Han Zhao ignored him and rushed into the group of Blood Corpses. He killed in all directions and successfully saved Feng Xiao.
The scattered Yin energy was absorbed by the Essence Soul Bead.
The originally pure black Essence Soul Bead already had a faint purple color.
“Han Zhao, why are you back? Where’s Third Miss?!” Feng Xiao asked with a pale face.
“She’s outside. She begged me to come back and save you!” Han Zhao grabbed Feng Xiao’s arm and brought him out. As for the favor, he gave it to Xu Ling.
Under Yu Niang’s lead, the two of them arrived in front of another wall.
With his previous experience, Feng Xiao did not directly hit the wall. Instead, he kicked the wall first.
Bang!
Physical walls.
“It should be because you ate the monster’s meat and the Yin energy in your body gathered. It has to be eliminated. Let me help you.” Han Zhao circulated the Life Nurturing True Qi in his body and prepared to remove the Yin energy for Feng Xiao.
At this moment, Feng Xiao suddenly slapped his lower abdomen.
“Pfft!” He spat out a large mouthful of blood, mixed with a large amount of black meat that emitted a stench.
“How is it?!” Han Zhao went forward and asked.
“I used the flames to force the monster meat out of my body. Let’s go,” Feng Xiao said weakly.
This time, Feng Xiao successfully passed through the wall.
Han Zhao understood. It seemed that because he had a fire-type Internal Force, he could escape from Taoyuan Village with Xu Ling last time..
