The five-meter-tall commander robot, like a fearless charging knight, held its sword up to Aisie Hall's eerie face.
The light blade, shrouded in pale blue energy, stretched for tens of meters, tearing the air apart wherever it passed, automatically splitting the thick clouds in two, leaving a dazzling trail.
Under the suppression of the magnetic field barrier, Aisie Hall's once radiant face appeared dim.
She raised her eyes, her sinister gaze piercing through the light barrier, looking into the distance where a small plane was rapidly approaching.
A cold smile curved her lips, as if she had given up resisting, and turned her gaze down at Xiao Qianshan, whose face was ashen.
A soft, cold voice echoed: "Your bone marrow has been extracted, leaving your body empty. Now, your vital energy and blood are completely depleted."
"Xiao Qianshan, may you rest in peace!"
The enormous blade of light finally slashed down, instantly tearing apart the eerie purple face. Strange black mist and purple light exploded outwards, sweeping across the surrounding area.
Above the sky, a storm was brewing.
With a sharp, pained laugh, Aisie Hall's eerie face vanished.
The assassin below, whose eyes had regained their clarity, immediately fled like a madman. Robot No. 79 in the air stepped on blue flames, and cannons popped out from its arms, spraying out beams of light that swept across the fleeing assassin.
There should have been cheers of triumph, but the scene was deathly silent. Xiao Yuxuan, Xiao Linzui, Xiao Fengyin, and the others all stared with trembling eyes at the old figure in front of them.
Xiao Qianshan stood silently, his body unmarked, but his face was frighteningly pale and his eyes were so dim they seemed to have lost their luster.
He seemed to lift his eyes with some effort, looking into the distance where a small plane had landed.
He let out a sigh of relief, a slight smile curving his lips, and his body slumped down.
"Father!"
"grandfather!"
Xiao Shuihan's voice could be heard from afar: "Old man!"
The massive steel-bodied commander robot landed, knelt on one knee, and used its steel hand to support Xiao Qianshan's body as he was about to fall.
No one noticed that a small crack appeared at the tip of its finger, and a sharp needle pierced into Xiao Qianshan's skin.
With a thud, ignoring the sharp shards of debris on his knees, Xiao Yuxuan knelt down and caught Xiao Qianshan's body. He roared, "Call a doctor!"
But the powerful roar couldn't hide the chaos in his eyes. He could no longer maintain his usual cold demeanor, and instead, a childlike panic appeared on his face.
In his heart, Xiao Qianshan, who was as majestic as a mountain, was now leaning against him with his eyes closed, his face withered and broken, devoid of any vitality.
Behind them, Xiao Fengyin and Xiao Jingyuan both had tears welling up in their eyes.
Although Xiao Qianshan was usually stern and authoritative towards their father and them, this did not diminish their respect for him.
In their hearts, this old man was like a god.
He was the most outstanding patriarch in the history of the Xiao family, and an unparalleled genius who could surpass his peers in Lingnan and even the whole of China.
He turned the tide, saved the Xiao family from collapse, led the family through crisis after crisis, and brought the family to unprecedented heights.
It can be said that without Xiao Qianshan, they would not have everything they have today. Even today, it is Xiao Qianshan who has protected the safety of all of them.
But now, the omnipotent man they once knew has fallen.
A thud was heard, and Xiao Shuihan pushed through the crowd and rushed to Xiao Qianshan's side, kneeling down as if possessed.
He stared at Xiao Qianshan, who seemed lifeless, his eyes trembling violently, and his lips, which were moving, were drained of all color.
"Old man! Old man!"
"You can't play like that!"
He tried to shake Xiao Qianshan's arm, but there was no response. He shouted, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Others only know that he loves to joke around with Xiao Qianshan, but they don't know that it is Xiao Qianshan who gives him confidence.
Among the three brothers, he was the youngest and the most outstanding. He was the most favored by Xiao Qianshan and the only one in the family who dared to argue with Xiao Qianshan and call him "old man".
Born into a wealthy family, he wanted to marry Luo Yilan, who came from an ordinary background. Xiao Qianshan broke through prejudices and personally came to propose marriage, showing her full respect. He did not choose to join the family business and instead worked hard with Luo Yilan outside. Xiao Qianshan never forced him and gave him plenty of freedom. His lifelong regret was losing his son, and it was Xiao Qianshan who personally went to the capital to bring back Xiao Wujie.
Xiao Qianshan's love for him was silent yet all-encompassing, and it was all expressed through his actions.
He just went out for a short while, and he turned out like this; he can't accept it.
Upon seeing this scene as he stepped off the plane, Xiao Wujie felt a chill run through his body and was utterly ashamed.
He certainly heard what Aisie Hall said.
She said it to him on purpose, but he knew it wasn't a lie.
He could actually guess why Chu Liyue was so eager to bring him to the Xiao family to recognize his relatives: his second and third stage surgeries required bone marrow, which Chu Liyue had not been able to find.
After arriving at the Xiao family, Chu Liyue seemed unwilling to talk, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Therefore, Xiao Qianshan was the person whose bone marrow was a match for him.
He was taken for bone marrow, which allowed Aisie Hall to take advantage of his weakened state, leading to his current predicament.
How is this any different from exchanging Xiao Qianshan's life for his own...?
Just as he felt as if his soul was being covered in frost, a soft touch suddenly came to his dry lips.
Before he could react, Chu Liyue's slender figure had already rushed out, leaving behind a low, cold "Don't panic" that reached his ears.
Chu Liyue rushed straight to Xiao Yuxuan and the others, pushed their hands aside, and checked Xiao Qianshan's pulse and breath.
Xiao Qianshan's face was deathly still, his breath and pulse were almost non-existent, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he was no different from a dead man.
But a subtle glimmer of light appeared in Chu Liyue's eyes. She suddenly looked up at Xiao Yuxuan and the others, her voice cold yet composed:
"Find a fully equipped operating room, there's hope!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuxuan, Xiao Shuihan, and the others' previously ashen eyes suddenly lit up with an astonishing light. They practically scrambled to their feet, and Xiao Jingyuan and Xiao Fengyin carried a stretcher. The group headed straight for the Xiao family's underground operating room.
Xiao Qianshan is the chairman of God and a world-class military scientist. At the bottom of the Xiao family's old house, there is also a top-notch underground laboratory, equipped with all kinds of advanced equipment in various fields.
The operating room doors were tightly closed, and the flashlights were on.
Inside, the surgical lights were cold and white, and various advanced medical equipment shone brightly.
At the bedside, a group of Xiao family private medical staff surrounded Chu Liyue and Lin Qingyi, who were dressed in sterile gowns.
"Stimulate his body's functions, administer medication at the same time, and help the reagents in his body to evaporate."
"He suffered damage to some organs during his fight with Aisie Hall."
"Next Regeneration..."
The medical robotic arm hummed, and at the same time, Chu Liyue's and Lin Qingyi's voices echoed in the operating room.
Chu Liyue looked at Xiao Qianshan on the hospital bed, a rare hint of relief appearing in her eyes.
Thank goodness, thank goodness...
