Chapter 103: Healing Again

This pill was specifically made for dealing with this toad——it is not a poison, merely a single ingredient used to harmonize yin qi, a pill that greatly replenishes primordial qi; however, upon contact with this toad's blood and poison, it instantly uses the toad's exuberant blood qi as raw material and explodes directly. This is not a case of inability to absorb nourishment; rather, it is giving him nourishment upon nourishment until he self-detonates.

Originally it should have been sent into the toad's belly to explode internally, which would surely let the toad have a good drink, but Bai Lang stuffed it into the wound on the toad's back...... After encountering blood, the explosion speed became even faster, but consequently it could not inflict sufficient damage on the toad——because the explosion came too early.

The result of the premature explosion was blasting the toad's spine, and of course Bai Lang was blasted as well; compared to the huge hole the size of an Eight Immortals table blasted into the toad's back, Bai Lang's whole body being smeared with flying flesh and blood seems relatively fortunate. The Golden Bell Shield blocked the shockwave, but the blood and flesh accelerated by the explosion could not be completely blocked, so Bai Lang was poisoned.

"No, not good! I'm poisoned! Is there an antidote?" Bai Lang shouted. Now, when he circulates Internal Force through the Golden Bell Shield, it carries poison; this toxin travels with his Internal Force through his body, looking like it will get worse. This toad is indeed poisonous all over; even after being blown up, it can still harm people.

"Take the anti-poison pill!" Qin Lian'er again thrust with her medicinal sword, simultaneously shouting. Bai Lang gulped and swallowed the pill, then he swung his arms, took a long breath, and his whole body summoned a great bell; thereafter, the man-eating tiger pattern on the bell directly floated and transformed into a tiger, the phantom condensed onto Bai Lang's fist, and he punched out at the toad.

This is all an attack of aura; the day Bai Lang can fully restrain this aura and transform it into strength will be the day his martial art is considered accomplished. "Aura released outward can even become 3D printing—this world's martial arts are truly miraculous!" After entering the Innate realm, such aura should be restrained within the heart.

Anyway, this toad before us has not entered the Innate realm; upon seeing such a black-and-white tiger lunging, it likewise flops down, directly going "ribbit!" as it inflates itself, and that wound moreover "pfft" spurts out more blood, like a fountain.

The toad didn't bother with this, directly puffing up its qi to charge at Bai Lang's illusory black-and-white tiger——like a turtle butting a stone slab, a copper hammer against an iron rod, these two fellows just collided like that. The bell's toll and the frog's croak spread in all directions; those demonic beasts were also greatly startled and fled in all directions, even the weak birds and beasts were frightened to death and collapsed.

Bai Lang was flung backward, directly crashing into the city wall, but then he immediately jumped out with a splash—because the next moment a light cannon struck the hole he had just burst through. The toad was similar, however, due to its large size and heavy weight, it did not retreat much, but its whole face was knocked askew; the bones around its mouth here appeared to be broken—so this time the light cannon did not connect as swiftly and smoothly.

The toad's face was knocked askew, its mouth bleeding; most crucially, the large hole blasted in its back had not healed, and while it had been puffing up its qi earlier, blood kept gushing out; this impact—was tantamount to completely ruining its attempt to heal the wound. The demonic aura, during the process of colliding with Bai Lang, was greatly consumed by the Golden Bell Shield's Internal Force,

"Puchi!" this descending sword technique, Murong Hua head down, feet up, thrust a sword into the toad's cervical vertebrae three sections behind the head; the toad's martial skill was broken...... Compared to Bai Lang's impact, its most severe was a temporary loss of skill, its qi circulation disrupted, and Murong Hua seized the opportunity to thrust a sword in.

However, the sword broke, snapping off inside the toad's body. Bai Lang also did not appear to take advantage of the situation to charge forward and strike——this giant toad demon is already in such a state; Bai Lang could only fare worse. The Golden Bell Shield's martial art was broken once again, and the effort to reforge the Golden Bell Shield was not proceeding smoothly......

Bai Lang's arm bone had already fractured again, this time even shattered; his shoulder blades and ribs were also broken in several places, some of which resulted from being flung out and striking the city wall. His organs also felt oppressive; Bai Lang circulated Internal Force, and a jet of blood spurted from his mouth.

"The meridians are all blocked; if we don't clear them, there's no point!" Bai Lang cursed. The Internal Force of the Thirteen Tai Bao Golden Bell Shield, amidst a tiger's roar, carried a murderous aura as it surged through the meridians, forcibly clearing those blockages. Moreover, it also had to suppress organ injuries, realign the broken and shattered bones, and fix them with Internal Force‑strengthened muscles, so as not to lose combat capability.

He cannot avoid battle; losing him as a meat shield, this toad cannot be dealt with——while Ma Yinglong and Mu Rongjiu Xiu now have limited combat power, letting them step down would be tantamount to sending them to die. Murong Hua cannot serve as MT, he is too frail. Bai Lang took a deep breath, his joints cracked all over, and then he charged at the toad again.

Qin Lian'er had already begun throwing swords; she no longer cared, directly mixing handfuls of medicinal powder and ointment, condensing them with Internal Force into flying swords to shoot at the toad; the toad gave a ribbit, seeming to want to leave as well——the demonic beast herd had already retreated after the toad and Bai Lang collided.

The toad wanted to leave; the three of them probably couldn't stop it and didn't want to, so they could only see it off from behind. Bai Lang took the opportunity to dig out a large chunk of the toad's hind leg meat, while Qin Lian'er was also panting, apparently having expended a lot; as for Murong Hua, he simply went bare‑handed. Bai Lang could still walk; his legs were uninjured, and he walked all the way to the inn here, entered a room, and only then let out a sigh of relief before collapsing.

The city's soldiers and officials no longer know how to face these few people capable of fighting the monster toad head‑on——should they praise them or blame them? No conclusion has been reached...... However, Qin Lian'er's treatment of Bai Lang has already begun.

This time is more troublesome than before, because Bai Lang's previous injuries haven't healed yet, and this time it's adding injury upon injury. "Not only do we need to set the bones, but we also have to cut open the flesh and pick out the bone fragments——otherwise your injury won't heal!" Said Qin Lian'er with a calm expression.

"Withdraw your power so I can cut it open with a knife!" Upon entering doctor mode, Qin Lian'er's tone also became much stiffer. "Wait! How deep do you want to cut?" Bai Lang said after swallowing a mouthful of saliva. "Cut until the bone is fully visible!" Qin Lian'er's words made Bai Lang feel this was truly terrifying.

Naturally, the assistant is the lightly injured Murong Hua; his sword‑hand is very steady, and according to Qin Lian'er's request, cutting open Bai Lang's flesh and muscle is a trivial matter. Even if the Internal Force of the Thirteen Tai Bao Golden Bell Shield is intentionally suppressed, the body's innate recoil and the toughness forged through bodily training still make an ordinary small blade very difficult to cut through Bai Lang's flesh and muscle.

"Use this!" Qin Lian'er pulled out a packet; opening it revealed a row of dusty, assorted small blade pieces......
