Ouch! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!!!

Chen Jing's eyes widened as the pain from attacking with his injured hand pierced his entire body like an electric current.

The drowned ghost raised its swollen hand, still trying to resist.

Having already suffocated, Dao Nan mustered his remaining strength and swung his sword horizontally.

Its arm was severed and fell directly to the ground, blue liquid splattering everywhere.

finally.

The drowned ghost stopped moving and resisting, and the air around Chen Jing's lips no longer had that sticky, uncomfortable feeling.

He opened his mouth and breathed heavily, coughing and breathing rapidly and freely.

During this time, Huang Yuanlong also managed to kill the two water ghosts that were entangled with him. The last water ghost, seeing that things were not going well, had just gotten rid of the crocodile summoned by Zhang Taoying and fled towards the river.

Chen Jing finally waited until the battle ended before the pain coursing through his body finally arrived. He plopped down, leaning against the drowned ghost's corpse.

At this moment, Jasmine, who had been observing the battlefield from the sidelines and was usually quiet, ran over to Chen Jing and touched his slightly deformed hand with her small hand.

During their previous conversation, Chen Jing learned that Jasmine could perform some healing spells, which were especially effective when the injury was fresh, so he did nothing and let her touch him.

"Don't scratch," Jasmine whispered, then went to treat Daonan and the other soldiers' injuries.

"Wow, Jing-ge, that was amazing!" Dao-nan exclaimed from the side. "You were incredible just now!"

Chen Jing had no time to pay attention to him. After Jasmine treated him, a cool sensation flowed into Chen Jing's wound, and the pain seemed to be worn away. Chen Jing gasped, followed by a dense, biting itching sensation.

As for Huang Yuanlong, as a Dan Realm expert, he was not injured at all even in the situation he just faced.

He walked over to Chen Jing, looked at the corpse, and sighed expressionlessly, "Amazing. If it weren't for you guys, several of us would have died."

Having regained some strength, Chen Jing, adhering to the principle of mutual flattery, said, "You flatter me. If you hadn't tied up most of the water ghosts, we wouldn't have had the chance to fight him one-on-one."

“The drowned ghost is much stronger than the ordinary man-eating water ghost…” Dao Nan looked at the corpse on the ground with lingering fear, as if worried that it would get up at any moment.

Zhang Taoying also ran in. Seeing the blood on Chen Jing's fingers and body, she originally wanted to come over to express her concern and try to gain his favor, but she didn't dare to get close.

The few remaining soldiers who were still in combat also looked at Chen Jing with awe and exclaimed in amazement.

Chen Jing endured the itching and slight, intense dull pain in his right hand, constantly gasping for breath.

Huang Yuanlong looked at Chen Jing, his expression unchanged, and said, "Even with this kind of treatment, you only have the recovery ability at the Body Realm level, so you probably won't have any combat power for the time being. You'll need to rest for at least a few days. Before you recover, I'll help you apply for a period of paid leave, plus an extra bonus. What kind of spiritual energy do you cultivate?"

Chen Jing didn't lie and answered honestly, "The Qi of the Dao."

"The Qi of the Dao, what a pity." Huang Yuanlong shook his head without any change in expression.
