After nearly a night of fighting, Tang Shengkai had exhausted all his spiritual energy. He was merely clinging to life.
After taking down the last enemy, Tang Shengkai was too exhausted to continue. Just as he stood there, his mind reeling, a bullet struck him directly in the head. Tang Shengkai heard the gunshot but didn't know how to react.
The gunshot was fired very close to Tang Shengkai. Tang Yue had arrived on her sword, and her awareness had covered the surrounding area. She clearly saw the Japanese soldier who fired at Tang Shengkai, but she was still far away from him. In that instant, Tang Yue had no way to get to Tang Shengkai's side.
Seeing that the bullet was only a meter away from her father's head, Tang Yue mobilized all her spiritual power to rush over. She knew that even if she did this, she might not be able to save her father, but she still had to try.
At the same time, Tang Yue's roar, infused with spiritual power, resounded through the sky. "Dad, get out of the way!"
Tang Shengkai's muddled mind seemed to have been split open by something. Was it his daughter calling him?
No, that's impossible. His daughter is on the South Island; she's so young. The military wouldn't let her out. Hmm, that must be it. Tang Shengkai's mind raced, but a glimmer of clarity appeared in his eyes.
However, Tang Shengkai felt as if he had forgotten something. Tang Yue saw that the bullet was only half a meter away from entering Tang Shengkai's head, and she burst into tears. But her father still stood there motionless.
"ah!"
Tang Yue roared to the sky, and at the same time, she flew towards Tang Shengkai even faster. Just then, six gunshots rang out in succession, and six bullets flew towards the bullet behind Tang Shengkai at the same time.
Hearing the gunshots from the opposite bank, Tang Shengkai was startled awake. He used all his strength to lean back to the side. Five of the six bullets flew in different directions, and only one bullet met the one that was meant to kill Tang Shengkai in mid-air.
In an instant, the two bullets collided violently in mid-air. A flash of light appeared, like a dazzling spark suddenly blooming, brief yet blinding, instantly illuminating the dim sky around them.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp metallic clang, like a thunderclap, exploded on the mountaintop, making everyone's ears ring.
The powerful impact of the collision, like an invisible wave of air, surged outwards from the bullet's center.
The surrounding leaves were swept up by the air current and fluttered down, as if a green rain of leaves was falling.
Tang Yue's hair was also blown wildly by the wind, but her eyes never left the two bullets, her heart filled with worry for her father's safety.
She was terrified that Tang Shengkai would be hit by shrapnel. But the worst thing she could have imagined happened. Tang Shengkai's right cheek was cut by shrapnel.
Despite feeling utterly exhausted, Tang Shengkai was fully awake as excruciating pain surged through him.
Then he saw a small figure flying rapidly toward him in the sky.
When Tang Shengkai saw who it was, he could hardly believe his eyes. This? Was it his daughter? How could his daughter fly?
This is absolutely incredible.
Tang Yue flew swiftly to Tang Shengkai's side and, before Tang Shengkai could speak, immediately began to examine his body.
After confirming that her father, though bearing many knife wounds, was out of danger, Tang Yue's tense nerves finally relaxed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She threw herself into her father's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Dad, you scared me to death! I thought... I thought I would never see you again. Why didn't you hide? Why didn't you hide?"
Tang Yue's first scream, her trembling voice, broke the hearts of those on the other side of the river.
Tang Shengkai hugged his daughter tightly, his eyes filled with relief and love for her after surviving the ordeal: "Silly child, Daddy's alright. Okay, Daddy knows he was wrong, please forgive Daddy this time, okay?"
Tang Yue cried in Tang Shengkai's arms for a long time before sitting up straight. "Dad, what happened to you just now? Why didn't you move even though you heard the gunshot?"
Tang Shengkai was also puzzled. He frowned slightly and said, "I don't know. For a moment just now, I suddenly felt my mind go blank. I couldn't remember anything. It was like I was just an empty shell. My body was out of control, and I could only stand there stiffly."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, grasped Tang Shengkai's wrist, and directly channeled her spiritual energy into Tang Shengkai's body.
Tang Yue had almost exhausted all her spiritual energy during her rapid flight. However, the spiritual energy in Qinling was abundant, and Tang Yue's actions turned out to be a blessing in disguise. When her spiritual energy was depleted, she felt that her cultivation was on the verge of advancing. Just now, when she was crying, the surrounding spiritual energy had rushed into her body.
As she examined Tang Shengkai, she saw that his meridians were almost severed, and large tears streamed down Tang Yue's face. If these things happened to her, she wouldn't feel anything, but since her father was suffering, Tang Yue felt she couldn't bear it at all.
While examining Tang Shengkai's body, Tang Yue channeled her spiritual energy into him. Nourished by the spiritual energy, Tang Shengkai felt as if he had come back to life.
Tang Yue frowned. "Dad, you've been poisoned."
Tang Shengkai stared into his daughter's eyes. "That can't be right. I haven't been in contact with any poisonous substances."
Tang Yue shook her head. "Dad, you are indeed poisoned."
Tang Yue might not know about other things, but she did have some knowledge about poisons. After all, her years of managing the herb garden in the cultivation world hadn't been entirely fruitless.
