Chapter 18: Xiao Qi is seriously injured and in danger. He tries his best to save her...

Mu Xingchen was held in Li Jing's arms at this moment, and a strong smell of blood came from his chest.

He was seriously injured, no less than when we first met...

"Xiao Qi, he went to great lengths to save me. I feel a little guilty."

Xiao Qi smirked and said, "Why didn't you think so when you were ruthless just now?"

Mu Xingchen was silent for a while, then she replied, "If you're not ruthless, I'll be exposed. I saved him twice, so consider it as repayment."

Xiao Qi suddenly said excitedly, "I finally got to see his strength today. I have to say, this damn place is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Mu Xingchen pondered, "But where did that sword come from? It's emitting such a powerful evil spirit, very similar to the one released from Sanjian Cliff. Could it be some treasure left behind by the demon race?"

Xiao Qi: "I don't know. This is Mu Qing's blind spot."

Mu Xingchen sighed in his heart: "It's really a stacking of buffs, this damn place makes me feel cold."

Xiao Qi chuckled and said, "You stacked up buffs yourself. If it weren't for the Seven Star Tower, your critical injuries would never have healed in half a year. I used every bit of spiritual power I had to recover to heal your injuries. It was extremely hard work."

Mu Xingchen felt even more guilty, "Xiao Qi, you have suffered."

Xiao Qi said speechlessly, "Come on, this mission can only succeed and not fail. If you fail, you will immediately practice dual cultivation with him. Otherwise, if that bitch is not dead, or his tribe finds us here, not only you will be finished, but I will be too."

Mu Xingchen twitched her lips. "No, that won't happen again. Don't worry." She said tragically, "There's no need to talk about the past." The next second, she said lazily, "Besides, we can't practice dual cultivation right away. He's so injured, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."

Xiao Qi laughed crazily inside the bracelet: "Hahahahaha, this is too funny. He hurt me so badly and still mocks me." She suddenly put away her smile and said seriously: "However, I am a little curious about his original form. With such a strong evil spirit, what kind of thing is his original form? What do you think, could it be a snake?"

Mu Xingchen thought of snakes and suddenly his scalp shuddered. "Impossible! I'm not that unlucky. He's so handsome, he must have nothing to do with snakes. He must be one of those furry animals."

Mu Xingchen had already begun to imagine touching her furry ears and tail.

Xiao Qi remained silent. She had forgotten that she had always been unlucky.

Li Jing and his group arrived at the top of Langling Mountain.

Feng Xue appeared at this moment: "Master, you can take Miss Mu away first."

"Um."

At this moment, a strong gust of cold wind blew over, making people feel bone-chilling. Li Jing looked at the pale Mu Xingchen in his arms, his face subconsciously filled with worry. He pursed his lips and took off his cloak to wrap her around him.

Feng Xue looked at Li Jing in shock. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her was actually being so kind to her...

Before she could come to her senses, the two people in front of her disappeared.

Xu Cen came out from the darkness and said teasingly, "Fengxue! You can't believe it, but the Lord has fallen in love this time. Tell me, when can you find a husband of your dreams to accompany you for the rest of your life?"

Feng Xue stood up and sneered, without even turning his head: "Get lost."

Xu Cen's mouth was stiff. "You're so good, Fengxue. I still haven't settled the score with you for knocking me out last time."

Feng Xue had a blank expression on her face: "What's the point of idiot?"

Xu Cen drew his sword behind him and said angrily, "Who are you calling an idiot?"

Fengxue ignored him, but looked down the mountain grimly and said, "Today, I will make sure Li Yan never comes back." After that, she hid in the woods with an unlit torch.

Xu Cen put away his sword and followed her: "Wait for me, Fengxue."

After a while, a huge cloud of thick smoke began to rise from Langling Mountain, and flames shot up into the sky.

After one stick of incense.

Li Jing brought Mu Xingchen back to the small courtyard where they lived before. He said to Qi Feng with some weariness, "Let's see how she is doing."

Qi Feng walked forward, sat beside the couch and felt Mu Xingchen's pulse. "It's okay. He has some internal injuries and was frightened. He's a little weak."

Internal injuries? Li Jing thought about how when he went to look for her just now, she had lost her outer clothes. The people in the dark cell not only tried to humiliate her, but also beat her...

Qi Feng took out a high-level Nei Huan Dan and a tranquilizing pill and fed them to Mu Xingchen. Suddenly, he turned around in surprise. Why did it become cold here?

He turned his head to look at Mu Xingchen, then turned back to look at Li Jing strangely, and said speechlessly: "You seem to be injured much more seriously than her. Let me see you..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Jing spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly leaving a large pool of blood on the ground. His black robe was also wet, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Unable to hold on, he half-knelt on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead and arms, black scales faintly visible on his legs and feet, and it seemed that his legs could hardly maintain his human form.

Qi Feng's eyes widened. He immediately took out the medicine, supported Li Jing and helped him swallow it. He said anxiously, "Master, why are you injured so badly?" He took Li Jing's pulse, his pupils trembling again. He said in disbelief, "The meridians are retrograde! Master, this is the second time this month!"

At this moment, Li Jing's left hand, which had been frozen in place for a while, began to thaw. Every inch the ice melted, the meridians exploded, and along with his sleeve, his entire right arm was covered in blood. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and after another violent spit of blood from his mouth, he collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer.

If the meridians continue to explode like this, the demon pill will turn into pieces and all cultivation will be wasted.

"Master! Master!" Qi Feng's eyes were red. "Do you know that if you continue like this, not even the Great Luo Immortal can save you?" He said as he took out the medicine from the storage bag. "This is what my master gave me before he left. There is only one left! I was reluctant to give it to you last time..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Jing spat out another mouthful of blood.

Qi Feng no longer hesitated and quickly fed him the medicine. This Yunlaixian was made by his master. It was a life-saving medicine of the Medicine King level. It could cure serious injuries such as reversing meridians and even bring people back to life. He only had this last Yunlaixian in his hand, which was extremely painful.

After the medicine was administered, Li Jing's veins visibly stopped bursting. Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, slowly helped him up, sat behind him, and pushed spiritual power into him, using spiritual needles to heal his wounds.

Time passed minute by minute, until dawn Qi Feng finally stopped.

With a pale face, he took Li Jing's pulse again. After confirming that his demon pill could be preserved, he collapsed to the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and said, "How could he be injured so badly? Did you use the Evil-Devouring Sword? Why did you use the Evil-Devouring Sword? Who did he meet? Could it be that he..." Just as he was asking if it was Li Siyu, he suddenly remembered the woman in white.

"The Four Realms won't attack you. Is it that woman? Who is she? Kyoto has never heard of such a person. Why would she attack the Lord?"

Li Jing's eyes were filled with frost, and he was filled with murderous intent: "There is her presence in the Three Streams Cliff."

Qi Feng stood up suddenly, his brows furrowed in thought as he thought, "She came here for Tushan. She took Tushan Xu away from the prison and then went to Sanjian Cliff. So her purpose in going to Sanjian Cliff must be to find Tushan Zi... Then it makes sense."

He turned around and continued to speculate: "Master, is it possible that she is from the Tushan clan and came here to rescue people, and then mistakenly took us for enemies?"

Li Jing stood up, and a gust of wind blew, causing his white hair to fly all over the sky. He suddenly smiled, but this smile was full of murderous intent: "Oh, she'd better pray that she is from Tushan."

Qi Feng sneered, "Master, please heal your wounds first before you think about settling the score. This time, you even used the Devouring Evil Sword. Even with the Devouring Evil Sword, that person might not have done anything yet. Tell me, why are you so aggrieved? It's almost worse than death... You must cherish your life. The Devouring Evil Sword cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

Li Jing closed his eyes, but the coldness on his body became heavier. The next second, his spiritual energy began to circulate, concentrating his energy and calming his body. Concentrating his energy, concentrating his energy...

Mu Xingchen felt an inexplicable chill on the bed. She had been feeling guilty all night for her harsh attack, and he suddenly released such a strong murderous aura towards her... What would he do if he knew that the person who hurt him was the one he had personally rescued...

"Xiao Qi...I feel like something is wrong."

"I think if he knew, he would want to tear you into pieces. Not only did he cheat you out of money, but he also cheated on your feelings."

Mu Xingchen retorted, "Xiao Qi, that's not right. He has no feelings for me now. He came to save me because I was his savior. At most, he was just repaying a favor, and part of the reason was because he was going after Tushan Xu."

Xiao Qi: "Then why did you say before that you were going in both directions? Besides, weren't you always trying to seduce him? And he asked you to take Tushan Xu away and rushed to save you. What does this mean? It means he was attracted to you, but! You almost killed him."

Mu Xingchen denied it. "Didn't I get seriously injured saving him before? And I was also injured by his evil-devouring sword yesterday, although it was a minor injury. Besides, it was him who suddenly showed up, and he was the one who started it first. He has no moral integrity."

Xiao Qi agreed, "Yes, so I admire your decisiveness. If you had hesitated at that time, you wouldn't be Mu Xingchen. I just feel sorry for him being almost crippled. If he was crippled, wouldn't we be unable to practice dual cultivation together? In this world, it's not so easy to find another suitable partner for dual cultivation."

Mu Xingchen said in confusion: "...Yes, you are right, I should take good care of her in the future."

It was almost noon outside and the sun was at its strongest.

Li Jing finished his meditation, the pain in his body gradually subsided, and his face was not as pale as before.

Qi Feng looked at the sky, then said calmly: "Master, go back to the Ice Pool to recuperate."

Li Jing frowned and looked at Mu Xingchen, then asked, "Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

Qi Feng sighed: "He will wake up when he wakes up, it's nothing."

"Hmm." Li Jing suddenly thought of something, "Catch that maid back, ask her to change her clothes, and then check her injuries."

Qi Feng twitched his lips: "Yes."

Li Jing glanced at Mu Xingchen, a complicated look flashing across his eyes. After a while, he turned his head and whispered, "Let's go."

Mu Xingchen saw the opportunity and slowly woke up.
