Blood was gushing from the burly man's eyes and nose, and he was barely breathing. Seeing this, he shook his head slightly and said, "Miss Ji, there's no need to waste your elixir. I'm already exhausted. If I force myself to use that last move, I'll be beyond saving."
Ji Xiaoxi checked his condition, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls: "Brother Sun, if it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have done this..."
The burly man laughed heartily: "If it weren't for your rescue back then, I, Sun Hai, would have been dead long ago. Living so many more years, and being able to repay your life-saving grace today, is truly a blessing."
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Ji Xiaoxi became even more heartbroken, and the other young men and women also silently grieved, after all, they had developed feelings for each other after fighting side by side for so long.
Just then, Zuan spoke up: "Who said you were going to die? Don't be too discouraged."
He somewhat admired the other person's mindset and began to check his pulse beside him.
“Brother Zu…” Ji Xiaoxi looked at him in confusion. With her medical skills, she could naturally tell that Brother Sun’s injuries were too severe and there was no way to save him.
Zuan didn't answer, but reached out and touched Sun Hai's back, sending streams of pure spiritual energy to him.
Sun Hai's complexion visibly became rosy, and a look of shock appeared on his face, because he could clearly feel his body beginning to recover, with strands of vitality flowing through his limbs and bones.
After a while, Zu An released his grip and said to Ji Xiaoxi, "I've temporarily stabilized his life. Now it's up to you."
Ji Xiaoxi checked Sun Hai's pulse with a mixture of surprise and joy, and exclaimed, "Brother Sun can indeed be saved!"
She didn't have time to ask any questions. She hurriedly took out various pills and made Sun Hai take them. At the same time, she took out a silver needle and used acupuncture to guide the medicinal properties of the medicine.
Not long after, Sun Hai's face suddenly turned rosy, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The others nearby were immediately startled: "What's wrong with Brother Sun?"
Ji Xiaoxi wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, it's nothing. He vomited out the blood clots in his body, and he'll recover with time and rest."
Sun Hai hurriedly bowed to her and thanked her, saying, "Miss Ji, I never expected that you would save my life again."
Ji Xiaoxi pursed her lips: "This time it wasn't me who saved you, but Brother Zu."
Sun Hai slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory! Thank you so much for saving me, young master. Your cultivation is truly admirable."
He was truly astonished by the opponent's boundless energy just now; compared to the opponent, he was at most a tiny drop of water.
But how did this young man manage to cultivate to such a level?
At this moment, a young woman next to her said, "You...you are the High Priest?"
Zu'an was taken aback. He knew that everyone in the capital now called him the Regent, that's what they called him...
He glanced at the clothes worn by the young men and women and asked, "Are you disciples of the academy?"
"It really is the High Priest!" The group was both surprised and delighted, as excited as if they had met their idol. They chattered and explained, "We accepted a mission from the academy and came here to hunt down some ferocious beasts for training."
Although the imperial court sends troops into the mountains every year to sweep through and ensure that no high-level ferocious beasts threaten the area, it is impossible to come every few days, and some will inevitably slip through the net. Therefore, the academy is usually responsible for the daily sweeping work.
The remaining ferocious beasts were not of high grade, which was just right for the academy disciples to train.
They came here for training as usual, but who knew they would encounter such a thing.
Ji Xiaoxi blinked, thinking to herself, "Brother Zu is really amazing, he actually became the academy's chief priest?"
These older brothers and sisters are very proud, so they would never lie.
Suddenly, I remembered that when my father went to pay his respects to the new chief priest, I wondered what his expression would be when he saw that the other party was my eldest brother.
"So it's the High Priest." Sun Hai was somewhat shocked. He knew very well the background of these academy disciples. They were all very proud, after all, they were all chosen ones, yet now they were so full of admiration for this young High Priest?
Unlike the previous world, this world doesn't have the internet, so events in the capital don't spread as quickly. Apart from some powerful forces who might know Zu'an's identity, ordinary people haven't heard about what's been happening these days.
Zuan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then his gaze fell on the ice sculpture to the side.
The others also started discussing it: "What kind of monster is this? It's not recorded in the academy's 'Monster Chronicle'! Have any of you seen it?"
"There really isn't one, and our attacks seem to be completely ineffective against it. Could it be some kind of creature from the demon race?"
Zuan shook his head slightly: "It's not that attacks are ineffective, it's that physical attacks are ineffective against it. Besides, this is not a creature of the demon race."
He was, after all, the regent of the demon race, and had spent some time there, but had never seen such a creature before.
In particular, the strange purple flames on the other party's body always gave people a rather uncomfortable feeling, as if they were being rejected by the will of heaven and earth.
Just then, spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared on the ice sculpture, and a purple light shot out from it, quickly heading towards Zu'an. It was none other than the Purple Flame Ghost from before.
The others didn't have time to react; they could only scream instinctively.
However, the purple light quickly dimmed, as it turned out that its neck was being gripped by a large hand, and its entire body was struggling desperately.
Zuan looked at the object with equal surprise: "Huh, it can actually revive?"
He was absolutely certain that the other party had lost all hope of survival, so how did they suddenly come back to life?
What on earth is this thing?
