Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ten minutes later, Ye Chen finished dealing with the stragglers, and then led Zhu Ya and Bai Libing toward the dragon vein.
As soon as they stepped into the cave, a wave of extremely hot air assaulted them. The temperature of the entire cave was extremely high. After only taking a few steps, the two girls were drenched in sweat, and their skin started to turn red.
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and released a trace of the blood dragon’s energy. The two girls immediately felt much more comfortable, and even the sweat on their bodies disappeared.
Suddenly, the special phone in Ye Chen’s pocket vibrated!
Bai Lixiong was nearby!
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He heard some movement in the south, but the phone’s signal indicated that Bai Lixiong was toward the west.
At this moment, Bai Libing seemed to sense something and headed in a certain direction. The heat she felt around her grew stronger and stronger, and after walking a few dozen steps, she realized she had arrived at a cliff.
The cliff was filled with severed limbs and corpses, almost a hundred of them! Corpses covered the ground and were piled up into a small mountain. The blood flowing on the ground looked terrifying.
At the bottom of the cliff, there was boiling lava!
“Mr. Ye, I’m not certain, but I can feel that my father is nearby. Could it be that he fell down the cliff?”
Bai Libing turned over the corpses one by one, trying to find her father.
However, even after searching frantically, she still could not find him!
“Did he really fall down?” Bai Libing muttered dejectedly.
She even saw the corpses of the four Iron-Blooded Camp soldiers, yet not her father’s.
A sense of uneasiness and helplessness filled her heart.
Ye Chen did not say anything. The phone screen flashed with a bright red light. This meant one thing. Bai Lixiong was not dead and was nearby!
Ye Chen swept his gaze across the crowd and suddenly thought of something. He took a step forward and saw a dying body on a rock at the bottom of the cliff.
That body was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn. There was a huge bloody hole in his chest!
The hand with the bulging veins grabbed tightly onto a protruding rock at the edge of the cliff!
His palm was covered in blood!
Bai Lixiong!
At this moment, Bai Lixiong was seriously injured, and had almost passed out. Despite his injuries, he and the four soldiers from the Iron-Blooded Camp had killed these hundred or so pursuers, a feat truly worthy of his reputation!
At this moment, Bai Lixiong was completely relying on his willpower to hold onto that rock. He did not know how long he had been hanging here, but he knew that he wanted to live!
To live and protect his country, protect Qinling’s dragon vein, protect the fate of hundreds of millions of people…
This was his responsibility and mission!
If he died, Zheng Renjue and the other forces would succeed, and Huaxia would suffer a huge blow!
Ye Chen felt incredibly moved by this scene. Without hesitation, he leapt off the cliff and grabbed Bai Lixiong by his clothes, and then leapt back up onto the cliff.
When she saw her father in Ye Chen’s hands, Bai Libing rushed forward with tears in her eyes.
“Dad!”
Ye Chen gently placed Bai Lixiong on the ground.
At this moment, the latter was no longer breathing. His heart had stopped, and he was covered in wounds. Ye Chen could easily tell how badly injured Bai Lixiong was. The latter was teetering on the edge of hell.
If he did not act now, Bai Lixiong would definitely die!
Ye Chen took out a pill and fed it to Bai Lixiong. However, he did not stop there.
Bai Lixiong’s internal organs were severely injured by the true qi left behind by the techniques of the Broken Soul Sect cultivators.
Although he was once the top fighter of Huaxia’s martial arts world, he was still a human, not a machine. This battle had consumed too much of his strength.
In addition to falling off the cliff and enduring the ambient heat of the lava, it was already a miracle that he did not die. It truly was a testament to his willpower!
“Both of you stand guard. He must be treated immediately.”
After Ye Chen finished speaking, a few spirit stones appeared in his hand and shot out. A formation suddenly condensed!
At the same time, the silver needles in Ye Chen’s hands were like dancing musical notes as they shot into Bai Lixiong’s body. The latter’s body was instantly covered in a dense forest of silver needles.
Ye Chen’s fingers formed a seal, and a mysterious energy seemed to flow in a line, passing through each silver needle.
It was like a formation!
At the same time, Ye Chen took out some medicinal herbs from the Samsara Graveyard. He clenched his fingers and condensed them into a medicinal liquid, which seeped into Bai Lixiong’s body.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged and pointed his finger at Bai Lixiong’s forehead. He closed his eyes and a faint trace of true qi was channeled into the latter’s body.
This was the most crucial step. It would take a full five minutes to save Bai Lixiong.
Time passed slowly. This entire time, Zhu Ya and Bai Libing’s hearts burned with anxiety.
At this moment, a burst of laughter rang out.
“I was curious who would dare to step inside the cave. So it’s you, you reckless brat!”
As soon as the voice finished speaking, more than ten people appeared in the distance.
It was Zheng Renjue and the experts from Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department!
Furthermore, they were accompanied by the experts from the Broken Soul Sect and other forces.
Seeing this, Zhu Ya and Bai Libing’s hearts sank.
They glanced at Ye Chen and realized that his eyes were closed. It seemed that he had no intention of opening them at all. As such, they concluded that this treatment could not be interrupted.
Crap!
How could the two of them stop this group of people given their mediocre strength? What should they do?
Zheng Renjue noticed that Ye Chen was ignoring him, so he naturally looked closer, and soon realized that Ye Chen was transmitting his true qi.
He smiled.
“Brat, you’re quite ambitious. You’re actually trying to save a dead person!”
“Bai Lixiong is already dead, and my men were the ones who threw him down there. I’m surprised he even has an intact corpse. What a pity.”
“However, do you really think that you’re some sort of omnipotent existence? Dream on!”
“If I’m not wrong, you can’t stop what you’re doing now, right? If you do, you’ll definitely suffer a backlash.”
A sinister smile appeared on Zheng Renjue’s face. He then looked at the expert beside him and said, “Lu Zhen, help me bring back that kid’s head!”
Lu Zhen was one of Zheng Renjue’s strongest men, so Zheng Renjue was confident that he would be able to deal with Ye Chen.
“Yes, Grandmaster Zheng!”
Lu Zhen rushed toward Ye Chen!
Zhu Ya and Bai Libing’s eyes turned serious. Just as they were about to engage the other party, Ye Chen opened his eyes!
“Get behind me! Hurry!”
Zhu Ya and Bai Libing’s expressions changed drastically. They hesitated for a moment, but in the end still hid behind Ye Chen. They knew that they did not have the strength to interfere in this matter.
A cold smile appeared on Lu Zhen’s face as he unleashed a sword strike at Ye Chen.. He knew how dangerous Ye Chen was and did not dare to hold back, so the strike was aimed straight at the latter’s vitals!
