Chapter 112: Chapter 98: Double Kill (Please Subscribe)_2
Despite having used his trump card to restrain a Heavenly Person, the cloaked figure in black effortlessly killed two Heavenly Persons one after the other, a strength that can only be described as terrifying.
Could it be a top-level Heavenly Person?
Only a top-level Heavenly Person would possess such strength.
After all, a mid-stage Heavenly Human Realm... perhaps can suppress and defeat early-stage Heavenly Persons, but to kill them so cleanly and decisively... it’s simply impossible.
Moreover... this black-cloaked person killed Chen Ao a few months ago.
That’s right.
He recognized him.
This black-cloaked person was the same one who saved him months ago...
He felt his luck was incredibly good, having been saved again by this black-cloaked person.
He began to wonder if this black-cloaked Heavenly Person had been following him all along?
Otherwise, how could these coincidences keep happening?
"Thank you, Daoist friend, for saving my life once again."
Xiao Wendao attempted to stand up, but his injuries were too severe, and coupled with the fact that he had just used a secret technique, he simply couldn’t stand. Thus, he could only sit and clasp his hands in thanks.
Li Qian paid no attention to Xiao Wendao and started to search the corpses.
After obtaining two cloth bags and two weapons... Master Yang Mei’s dust whisk and the long saber of a Heavenly Person from Night King Mansion, it was clear that both were Divine Refining Devices.
Although these two weapons were of no use to him,
That didn’t stop him from enjoying collecting spoils of war.
Xiao Wendao felt a bit awkward when he saw the other person ignoring him.
Just as Li Qian was about to leave with the spoils, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xiao Wendao, and saw that this member of the Divine Sword Sect was in very poor condition.
If he left like this... the man could end up dying here.
With this thought, Li Qian rummaged in his chest and took out a deep-yellow elixir, tossing it to Xiao Wendao: "This is for healing wounds. Take it."
His voice was hoarse, unrecognizable.
The elixir he gave to Xiao Wendao was one from the Black Iron Ring, after various experiments, he confirmed that it had an exceptional effect on treating internal injuries.
According to his experiments with animals, there were no toxic side effects.
It should be safe for humans as well.
It seemed appropriate to use this Heavenly Person Xiao as a test.
"Thank you, Daoist friend."
Xiao Wendao took the elixir, and although he could not recognize what it was, the other had saved him for the second time. If he meant him harm, there was no need to waste an elixir.
So he swallowed it directly.
As the elixir went down his throat, he immediately felt a strong medicinal force bursting forth violently.
"What a powerful elixir..."
He was greatly shocked inside and quickly concentrated on his breathing, starting to regulate his qi.
A while later, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi vibrated and converged around Xiao Wendao.
Even though Li Qian did not use Spiritual Perception, he was still keenly aware that Xiao Wendao’s condition seemed to be rapidly improving.
After a long while, Xiao Wendao suddenly exhaled deeply and opened his eyes, his complexion becoming rosier.
Moreover, his originally weak life force had become much more vigorous.
Surprise appeared on his face.
Because the effect of the elixir was truly astonishing.
Not only did it heal most of his injuries... even the severely depleted life force seemed to have recovered almost twenty percent.
Knowing that he had fought continuously and was grievously injured, having used secret techniques multiple times, his life force nearly exhausted, without this elixir, even if he didn’t die this time, he probably would perish within half a month.
But now... with a twenty percent restoration of life force, it meant he should have no problem living another ten or eight years.
"Thank you, Daoist friend, for the elixir."
Xiao Wendao immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Li Qian, overflowing with gratitude.
This elixir brought him back from the brink of death, as lively as a dragon.
It meant that he could now participate in the impending battle against the Night King Mansion’s army.
Moreover... the Night King Mansion side had lost two Heavenly People, and his recovery... was effectively a gap of three Heavenly People.
If this powerful mysterious Heavenly Person could join them, the advantage would be with the Divine Sword Sect.
Regrettably, he could only entertain this thought, for the person had saved him twice and given him an elixir that was like a divine medicine for healing, which was already more than enough benevolence.
Li Qian said nothing and turned to leave.
He still needed to locate the whereabouts of the half-demon legion, best if he could annihilate them entirely before they transformed.
In doing so, the half-demons would be unable to play their part.
Hence, it would be much easier for the Divine Sword Sect to hold the fort.
After watching the man in the black cloak leave, Xiao Wendao took a deep breath, promptly dug a large pit, and buried the bodies of Master Yang Mei and another Heavenly Person.
Then, he communicated with the Mai Mang Divine Sword using his own Sword Intent; instantly, a cold light flew back from the woods, landing in his palm. With the convergence of roaring Primordial Qi, he took to the skies, swiftly flying in the direction of the Divine Sword Sect.
It took him over an hour to return to the Divine Sword Sect, covering a distance of nearly two hundred li. The reason for the delay was his simultaneous flight and True Qi recovery; otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long.
When Xiao Wendao landed on the Divine Sword Hall Square, he immediately drew the attention of the top ranks of the Divine Sword Sect.
"Sect Uncle... You, you’re not dead...."
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu’s eyes reddened with excitement upon seeing Xiao Wendao, speaking somewhat incoherently.
The others were equally thrilled.
In their eyes, Xiao Wendao was the backbone of their Sect.
Now that the backbone had returned, hope was reignited within them.
"How could I possibly die? You should have gone out to inquire what my nickname is."
Xiao Wendao, in tatters like a beggar, huffed coldly, hands behind his back, ready to stride into the Divine Sword Hall.
Suddenly, four silhouettes appeared in the square, the other four Heavenly People.
They could hardly believe their eyes seeing Xiao Wendao return.
How could Xiao Wendao have survived such a situation and returned after holding off the pursuit of the Night King Mansion’s Heavenly People?
Wasn’t that absurd?
"Daoist Xiao, how did you manage to escape?"
The Heavenly Person from Night King Mansion, Ye, quickly asked.
He felt that in such a situation, there was no way he would have survived.
What was more surprising... despite Xiao Wendao’s disheveled appearance, his aura was not weak, almost as if he was not seriously injured.
"Hehe, after I killed Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao from the Night King Mansion, naturally, I returned alive."
Xiao Wendao said with a smile.
"What?"
"You killed Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao?"
"How is that possible?"
All four Heavenly People were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
"It was just luck."
Xiao Wendao waved off, "Those two were careless, and I seized the opportunity to ambush them; otherwise, I would have been the one dead."
The four Heavenly People looked at each other in dismay.
But the fact was that Xiao Wendao had returned alive.
There was also the previous record of him counter-killing Xuanming Sect’s Heavenly Person Chen Ao, while being pursued.
It couldn’t all be a lie, could it?
Once the Night King Mansion’s army arrived, and battle commenced, the truth would come to light if those two Heavenly People appeared.
