He gestured for him to proceed.
Su Wanyan glanced at him and slowly walked forward in the direction he led her.
Before she even got close, she could already feel the chilling aura. After just a few steps, her fingertips began to feel numb.
Su Wanyan suddenly stopped in her tracks: "It's too cold."
Xiao Chensheng's expression shifted slightly, and then he heard Su Wanyan say, "In such cold conditions, even if she still has a sliver of life left, I would be helpless."
Xiao Chensheng laughed: "I had forgotten."
He walked to a spot in the cave and pressed a mechanism on the cave wall. The surrounding cold air seemed to be sealed off, immediately blocking the chill.
Xiao Chensheng seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the cave.
Su Wanyan didn't think much of it. Although the woman in front of her was pale, her skin was so smooth and delicate that it looked as if she was just asleep and would wake up in the next second.
At this moment, Su Wanyan also became curious.
Xiao Chensheng was already a skilled doctor. Even without exchanging medical techniques with her, he was still a medical expert. If he thought she could be saved, how could he not save her?
How could we possibly wait for her to handle it?
With doubts lingering, Su Wanyan reached out and placed her hand on the sleeping woman's pulse.
After probing for only two seconds, Su Wanyan frowned, lowered her eyes slightly, and probed even more carefully.
this……
Su Wanyan looked up at Xiao Chensheng.
Xiao Chensheng's brows suddenly turned cold, and even his usual exaggerated and fake smile disappeared. His thin, dark gray lips were tightly pursed, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Su Wanyan didn't explain further, but simply asked, "Have you already shown it to her?"
This woman...
Xiao Chensheng pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. Only when the air was so quiet that only the sound of dripping water could be heard did he slowly open his mouth.
He was about to say something when suddenly, a cold glint, carrying a chilling killing intent, struck his temple.
Xiao Chensheng's heart sank suddenly. Just as that cold glint was only a hair's breadth away from him, he quickly leaned back, barely dodging the fierce attack.
A figure in black and white flashed past, and the sword energy struck the cave wall with a loud "bang." Before Xiao Chensheng could react, the cold light instantly turned and swept towards his throat, aiming to take his life.
Neither of them intended to hold back.
Xiao Chensheng was unable to dodge it.
However, just as he leaped from the ground, that figure in black and white was already behind him. The cold light approached again. Xiao Chensheng frowned, gritted his teeth, and a puff of smoke instantly spilled from the corner of his lips.
All that could be heard was the sound of a sword piercing flesh; Xiao Chen had taken the heavy blow head-on.
However, there was no gushing blood; the feeling of cutting into it was like cutting into a hardened piece of corpse.
He thought it was over, but unexpectedly, his head was suddenly swept away by a kick. Xiao Chensheng felt a "buzz" and his vision blurred instantly.
With another loud "bang," Xiao Chensheng slammed straight into the wall like a cannonball.
A cloud of dust rose, and the figure in black and white stopped attacking. Yu Nanqing, holding a long sword, landed slowly as he flew through the air.
The longsword clearly struck Xiao Chensheng, yet not a drop of blood was seen on the blade.
Su Wanyan quietly explored in front of the stone bed, not bothering the noise inside the cave in the slightest.
Dust and smoke billowed, and gravel tumbled down.
Xiao Chensheng frowned, his expression unreadable, but his dark gray lips were still curled as he struggled to pull his body out of the cave wall.
For example, a kite with a broken string falls from the sky, and then...
It landed steadily on the ground.
He raised his eyes and smiled, but his face was filled with a sinister and malevolent aura: "Does Your Highness also know about formations?"
Otherwise, he couldn't have gotten here in such a short time.
Compared to Xiao Chensheng's gloomy demeanor, Yu Nanqing's face was as cold as ice. He had no intention of answering Xiao Chensheng's questions, and his eyes, when looking at Xiao Chensheng, were filled with an unusual deathly aura.
Previously, he really didn't know anything about Bagua formations.
But Su Wanyan had mentioned this to him before.
Yu Nanqing took this opportunity to learn some things.
He never imagined he would need it one day.
Yu Nanqing used all his strength in that sword strike. If Xiao Chensheng hadn't prepared in advance, he would most likely have been cut in half at the waist. Having taken a real blow, it's impossible for him not to feel pain.
My head was starting to throb.
Even so, he still maintained a smile on his face, even though the smile seemed extremely abrupt. He lowered his eyes and took a deep drag on his cigarette, and the pain in his body immediately subsided a lot.
He then raised his eyes again: "I merely wished to request Your Highness to come and treat the patient. Why must Your Highness make such a fuss?"
Yu Nanqing's eyes darkened slightly. "Invite someone?"
Is this how you ask someone for a favor?
He shifted his feet slightly, intending to launch another attack on Xiao Chensheng.
"Yu Nanqing," Su Wanyan called softly.
Yu Nanqing paused slightly as she was about to move.
Taking advantage of the brief moment of their fight, Su Wanyan conducted a more thorough examination of the woman on the stone bed, which confirmed her suspicions. She slowly said, "This person... doesn't need treatment."
Xiao Chensheng's brows furrowed suddenly.
Then, she smiled again: "Your Majesty, are you saying that even Your Majesty is helpless against her? I thought Your Majesty was truly a divine physician, but it turns out you are just a quack."
“You don’t need to provoke me.” Su Wanyan said calmly, looking up. “This person has been dead for at least twenty years. What’s here now is just a corpse.”
A corpse that has been dead for twenty years.
"Heh." Xiao Chensheng sneered, his expression suddenly darkening: "Ridiculous, does Your Majesty not notice anything at all?"
"You mean she still has a sliver of life left?"
Su Wanyan was the one who was amused by the situation: "That trace of life force can't even be considered a living person's aura. Wasn't it something you forcibly maintained?"
She knew it when she checked the pulse; there was a barely perceptible beat.
But... that slight throbbing was just the pulse beating; there was no movement at all in the rest of the body or in any of the organs. She didn't even know if there was any blood or qi flowing inside the corpse.
That's why she asked Xiao Chensheng if he had already treated the woman.
Xiao Chensheng's face grew even colder: "As long as she still has a breath left..."
As long as she has a breath left, there is still a chance for her to be cured, isn't there?
However, before she could finish speaking, Su Wanyan suddenly pulled a scalpel from her sleeve and slashed it open towards the woman's heart!
Xiao Chensheng's heart skipped a beat, and his murderous aura surged instantly. As his black hair flew wildly, Xiao Chensheng's face turned fierce, and his five fingers formed a claw. He instantly appeared in front of Su Wanyan and grabbed Su Wanyan's wrist!
However, in an instant, his head was suddenly grabbed. Before he could even touch Su Wanyan, there was a loud "bang" as Xiao Chensheng was grabbed by Yu Nanqing and his head was slammed onto the stone bed.
He could no longer get even a fraction closer to Su Wanyan.
"Just as I thought..." Su Wanyan's calm words carried a hint of sorrow.
