Chapter 341: Nan Tianchen: My Son Killed a Super Douluo!
After everyone left, Lv Lingqi walked to the bedside and unbuttoned Nan Feihuang's upper garment.
The sight of his body, covered in wounds, made her heart ache uncontrollably.
She then removed her own armor, embraced Nan Feihuang, and streams of red light from her body surged into his.
This was the power of the Acacia Heartbroken Red, which can only be consumed by a woman of deep affection; the person Lingqi loves is, of course, Feihuang, so when directed at him, the medicinal power of this supreme Immortal Herb could be stimulated to its maximum limit.
Moreover, their constitutions were similar; Nan Feihuang, like Lv Bu, possessed the Ghost God Body, and Lv Lingqi was also a direct descendant of Lv Bu—although she was reborn in this world, she had merely borrowed a womb, and her body remained that of her previous life.
Relying on their similar origins, Lv Lingqi attempted to transfer a portion of the Acacia Heartbroken Red's medicinal power to Nan Feihuang.
This Immortal Herb was not only for increasing cultivation; its healing properties were also in a league of their own—it could even preserve a life after a soul Sacrifice like the one Xiao Wu performed, let alone Nan Feihuang's injuries.
At the same time, Nan Feihuang's Right Leg Bone was also emitting a blue radiance.
The ability of the Blue Silver Emperor—that wild fires cannot destroy it, and it grows again with the spring breeze—was working at full strength to repair his body.
Half an hour later, among the crowd waiting anxiously outside, Lan Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, "I feel it! I feel Huang'er's aura strengthening!"
"Yes, I feel it too. That's great; it seems Huang'er has made it through the danger zone." Nan Tianchen also felt relieved.
The parents and child were connected at heart; the moment Nan Feihuang's aura recovered, they were the first to sense it.
Hearing the King and Queen say this, everyone waiting anxiously outside breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time, it was not just Xun Yu and the others; even Elder Zhang, Zhang Xingcai, Jia Chong, Jia Kui, Long Gong, and She Po had heard the news and rushed over.
Only Xu Rong was absent; Nan Tianchen had been secretly guarding against him for years, and at this moment, he had been sent by Nan Tianchen to garrison the outer perimeter of the palace.
"Haha, I knew it! His Highness the Crown Prince is blessed by heaven and will be fine," Jia Chong said, stroking his beard and laughing loudly.
"Old Beetle, that's not what you were saying on the way here. I remember you were already preparing to charge into the Heaven Dou Empire to take revenge on a murderer you didn't even know the identity of," Long Gong retorted.
This Jia Chong was worthy of his nickname, the King of Brute Force—a classic case of simple-mindedness and overdeveloped limbs.
"Long Gong, can you not tear me down?" Jia Chong said angrily. He had been pushed to the edge at the time; everyone knew that Nan Feihuang was the hope for the rise of the Gu Lei Kingdom.
And the Brute Force Sect and the Gu Lei Kingdom shared the same fate, prospering or perishing together like lips and teeth; how could he not be anxious?
"Alright, you two, do not argue. I am very grateful for your concern for my son," Nan Tianchen said with a smile. With his son out of danger, he returned to being the calm King, "However, this matter must indeed be investigated clearly."
As he spoke, his gaze turned toward the snow-white Heavenly Spirit Horse.
As the only current clue to the incident, Nan Tianchen had specifically sent people to bring it into the palace.
In any case, with Lan Xue, a Title Douluo, present, along with himself, Jia Chong, and Long Gong—three Spirit Douluos—a mere twenty-thousand-year Spirit Beast could not stir up any trouble.
Nan Feiling was gently stroking the Heavenly Spirit Horse's pristine white body, "Hello, you saved my younger brother, didn't you? Thank you so much; you are a great benefactor to our family."
Nan Feiling was still a pure young girl, and her aura was incredibly clean, which made the Heavenly Spirit Horse like her very much.
"Heavenly Spirit Horse, can you find a way to tell me what happened that day? Who exactly beat my brother into this state?" Seeing that the Heavenly Spirit Horse was enjoying her touch, Nan Feiling seized the opportunity to ask.
The Heavenly Spirit Horse could not speak, but it possessed intelligence; it had long guessed that when it brought Nan Feihuang back, someone would surely ask this, so it was well prepared.
It gently lowered its head, opened its mouth, and spat a small, broken piece of bone onto the ground.
Everyone crowded around, and Lan Xue picked up the bone, puzzled, "What does this bone mean?" "I think it means that the person who harmed the Lord has something to do with bones, right?" Xun Yu grasped the Heavenly Spirit Horse's meaning immediately.
The Heavenly Spirit Horse nodded quickly, confirming his guess.
"Bones? I know! It's Bone Douluo, Gu Rong!!!" Lan Xue crushed the bone in her hand into powder in a fit of rage; if she couldn't guess it after such a hint, she would be too stupid.
There were not many people in this world with bone-type martial souls, but there were not few either; for example, Jing Ling of Shrek Academy also possessed a Skeleton Martial Soul.
But for an ordinary opponent to encounter her son and not be killed instantly, but instead be able to resist for a few moves, would be impressive enough—how could they have wounded Feihuang to this extent?
The only person with a bone-type martial soul who had the heart and the power to do this was Gu Rong.
Thinking of this, Lan Xue's figure flashed, and she transformed into a beam of blue light flying toward the horizon; her speed as a Super Douluo was simply too fast, and even if Nan Tianchen wanted to stop her, he couldn't.
It was clear that she intended to storm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect alone to take revenge.
This was too dangerous; as the second-largest sect in the world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had many Spirit Douluos, two Title Douluos, and the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Even if her strength was great, she could not withstand the opponent's human-wave tactics alone.
"The King need not worry. The Queen may not necessarily lose, and even if she cannot win, she will definitely be able to escape. Do not forget, Sword Douluo is already crippled, and that Bone Douluo is likely dead or maimed by now," Xun Yu said, "My Lord is not so easily dealt with; the fact that he could be brought back by the Heavenly Spirit Horse is the best evidence."
Hearing Xun Yu's words, everyone was stunned. That's right—they had been blinded by concern and had overlooked an important factor.
That was, if Gu Rong had ambushed Nan Feihuang, how did Nan Feihuang return? A mere twenty-thousand-year Heavenly Spirit Horse was far from being Gu Rong's match, let alone saving someone from his hands.
Xun Yu smiled and looked at the Heavenly Spirit Horse, asking, "I know you cannot describe the sequence of events, so I only want to know the outcome."
"If Gu Rong won and you and my Lord only escaped back by luck, blink once. If you won and Gu Rong was defeated and fled, blink twice. Finally, if Gu Rong was defeated and died, blink three times."
The Heavenly Spirit Horse understood Xun Yu's words and thought to itself that this person was truly clever to ask only the key points.
Thus, it immediately blinked three times in succession.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent; all that could be heard were the heavy, ragged breaths of the crowd.
"Three... three times? You mean, Gu Rong was defeated and died? You aren't joking, are you? That is a Super Douluo!" Jia Chong roared in disbelief.
He knew his Crown Prince was strong, but not to this extent.
To kill a Super Douluo head-on at sixteen, and one like Gu Rong who was known for having the number one defense—this was hard to describe even with the word 'monster'.
The Heavenly Spirit Horse looked at the big man in front of it with dissatisfaction; what, he didn't believe it? Their Heavenly Spirit Horse clan had always been honest and trustworthy, alright?
"No, I believe it. The Heavenly Spirit Horse is a Spirit Beast of high moral character; it would not lie." Nan Tianchen clenched his fists in excitement and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahahaha! My son killed a Super Douluo! My son killed a Super Douluo!!!"
His son's combat power was so formidable, like a dragon rising to the nine heavens; as a father, his heart was filled with pride.
As for Lan Xue, he was no longer worried; let her go and cause a scene.
With one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Title Douluos dead and the other crippled, what could the remaining bunch of Spirit Douluos do? Even with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they could not be a match for a Super Douluo.
On the contrary, letting her go there to stir things up might even have other uses.
