Clearly, he had become so strong, transforming into a demon with infinite strength, yet he was still miserably defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the sword in Li Youyi’s hand earlier couldn't break through the black scales on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why, all of a sudden, was it so sharp?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw was slashed off as if cutting through tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never know that the Huang Long Sword activated by the scorching current in the body was a completely different weapon from the Huang Long Sword in its normal state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his strange, irregular head had already been slashed off by Li Youyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head fell to the ground, and the corpse fell down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the whole world seemed to go quiet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi looked at the thick, viscous blood constantly flowing from the neck of the headless giant corpse on the ground, and then looked at the bloody battlefield full of corpses all around; only Zhao Meng, who had broken legs, and Chen Hong were still lying there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other scientific researchers had long since fled when Xie Tianshu mutated into a flood dragon, hiding in the distance and watching timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unknown whether they were afraid of him or afraid of the corpses all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bloody scene was too terrifying for everyone who had never experienced slaughter! All the nightmares they had had since childhood combined couldn't reach such a level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the killing intent ignited in Li Youyi’s body due to hatred and anger dissipated, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant. His bloody hands kept trembling, and he couldn't even hold the Huang Long Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of nausea and physiological discomfort that made him want to vomit his stomach out struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing for the first time, and killing so many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact on his heart was even greater than when he first fell onto the bronze ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s heartbeat sounded like a rapid drum, his mind sometimes blank, sometimes blood-red, and he sat down on Xie Tianshu’s chest cavity on his own. His eyes stared at Xie Tianshu’s head on the ground, but in reality, his pupils weren't focused at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Shanshan walked to his side, squatted down, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: \"Youyi, Youyi, don't scare Sister Shanshan, what’s wrong with you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Youyi... I’m Sister Shanshan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s emotions recovered, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then practiced the Yuxu Breathing Method, his eyes gradually regaining their spirit, looking at Qi Shanshan’s beautiful and exquisite face in front of him: \"I’m fine, just for a moment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't say it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Shanshan blocked Li Youyi’s mouth with her finger, raising it to be overly intimate, and comforted him gently: \"We know, they deserved to die, don't have any psychological burden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi felt that Doctor Qi’s behavior was too abnormal, even a bit boundary-less; she hadn't been like this toward him before. Back then, she had called him and Gao Huan \"the crippled and the defective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, more and more scientific researchers gathered around, all very concerned about Li Youyi’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't afraid of Li Youyi, just afraid of Xie Tianshu, which was why they had hidden in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if he killed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi had risked his life to act because he was saving them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the country is in trouble, people respect heroes; when people are in danger, they worship gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi was naturally not a god, but he was the one who led them out of the darkness when they were most dangerous and helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really not used to being surrounded by so many people—respect, awe, flattery, and fawning—Li Youyi hurriedly stood up and fled, going to check on his senior brother’s injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Shanshan, wearing a physician’s uniform, followed like a shadow, fragrant and drifting, following closely by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she had decided to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Meng had been carried into the medical tent and was lying flat on the medical bed, but he had long since fainted from pain, his face like gold paper, his breath faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior brother, senior brother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s fingers gently touched Zhao Meng’s swollen, purple-red legs, the bones visible at the wound on his knees. The injury on his shoulder was no better, the bones severely dislocated, too shocking to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly looked at Qi Shanshan and pleaded earnestly: \"Doctor Qi, save my senior brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave it to me for now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of something, Qi Shanshan added: \"Youyi, Sister Shanshan knows that you only care about your senior brother’s safety right now, but you must first collect those immortal items; they are what you deserve, don't let those guys who didn't exert any effort take them. Lest in the future, they hold onto extraordinary power and become the next Xie Tianshu, the next Kong Fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Liu and the other direct members who followed Zhao Meng, gathered around the hospital bed, all nodded vigorously; now they followed Li Youyi’s lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt that this Doctor Qi was quite remarkable, always knowing what should be done at the moment, and also able to see what might happen in the future. This required extreme reason and calmness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they, right now, hadn't yet fully walked out of the terror of the great change that had just occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two female scientific researchers were left in the medical tent to be Qi Shanshan’s assistants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Liu and the others walked out of the medical tent, kicking and punching Chen Hong, who was lying on the ground with severe injuries, to vent the hatred in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse-clothing soft armor that originally belonged to Zhao Meng was naturally taken off and kept by Li Youyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi discovered that after this battle, everyone was extremely respectful to him, even more so than they had been toward Captain Gao. Without him having to do anything, someone took the silver-thread gloves, scripture belt, and dragon-patterned thumb ring from the corpses and sent them to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even three scientific researchers carried the long black spear to the outside of the medical tent and placed it at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry; had he been crowned emperor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scientific group leader even instructed Qin Ke to follow Li Youyi and do what she could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Youyi... no, little brother, just call me Keke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ke was a student of Professor Xu and a classmate of Gao Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the research team, aside from Cai Yutong and Qi Shanshan, she and Liu Ying were the youngest and had the highest appearance. But she was very timid; she didn't even dare to keep the shotgun she got, throwing it directly into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi found the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, which was very close to Han Qin’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wiping the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish clean, he put it back around his neck. He then squatted down to check Han Qin’s head; the bone where it was hit by the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish was broken, and the blood was swollen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty meters away, and it could smash a person to death. It seems that in the future, I must prepare some pebbles, metal pieces, flying knives, and the like on my body; they can completely rival a pistol.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current strength, to kill with a pebble, the key was actually accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with his eyes nourished by the scorching current, his vision was extraordinary, plus the flying needle technique he had learned in the sect before, accuracy was not a problem at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Tianshu, Chen Hong, Kong Fan, including the security team members, these people were all too weak, which was why Li Youyi’s sword-throwing attacks could frequently succeed. Encountering a true master, throwing a sword or abandoning a sword at will was a major taboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Yang lay curled up on the ground on his side, a massive amount of blood lost from his body, his body withered like a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair had turned completely white, his eyes were cloudy and listless; he was clearly a man on the verge of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Li Youyi walk up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his last breath, he gripped Li Youyi’s pant leg tightly, straining his neck and struggling to lift his head, as if wanting to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi helped him sit up, feeling deeply moved by his miserable state. It had only been seven days; how had things become like this? It truly felt like a lifetime had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Yang gripped Li Youyi’s wrist tightly, his voice hoarse as he pleaded: \"Return to Earth... hurry back, you must take the Buddha's sarira as soon as possible... to the underground palace of Ganlu Temple, you must... you must... otherwise...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength in his fingers faded, and he passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? Why go to the Ganlu Temple underground palace...\" Li Youyi checked his pulse; he had already stopped breathing. He slowly laid Director Yang back down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ke, standing to the side, said: \"It is said that the Buddha's sarira was found in the Ganlu Temple underground palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi believed that Director Yang’s obsession with retrieving the Buddha's sarira and returning to Earth might be related to this, so he went to question the two research personnel from Laboratory 705 who had been subdued and tied up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two of them knew very little and were unaware of the situation at the Ganlu Temple underground palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to Earth now was simply beyond their control, so Li Youyi had to put the matter aside for the time being. There were many more important things on the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Bear Emperor at the stern, the bone demons in the graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were far more dangerous than Xie Tianshu, Kong Fan, Director Yang, and the others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there were still many suspicious points regarding this turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Huan and Old Liu, leading more than twenty young and strong expedition members, walked into the death mist armed with protective shields, stun guns, steel bars, kitchen knives, and various other weapons to search for the five people, including Xie Jin, who had escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi walked into the medical tent just as Qi Shanshan finished performing simple disinfection, hemostasis, bandaging, and bone realignment on Zhao Meng’s wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Meng’s eyes remained tightly shut, his face deathly pale, and he had not woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi looked at the fine beads of sweat on Qi Shanshan’s forehead and said: \"Thank you for your hard work...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take off your clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Shanshan was tidying up the various medical supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Shanshan turned around, her tone a mix of reproach and concern: \"You only care about your Senior Brother’s injuries? You’re injured yourself yet you don't say a word. Are you men all so chauvinistic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My injuries are minor; they don't count for much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s injuries were on his left shoulder and his right wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left shoulder had been grazed by a small amount of lightning released by the black iron seal; his clothes were carbonized, and the skin was severely damaged, which was indeed very painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right wrist had been cut by the edge of the ice coffin at the bottom of the graveyard; it had already scabbed over, but the wound had split open again when he used the black spear. That spear was too heavy, and using it with Li Youyi’s current strength was still quite a strain; it hurt his own tendons and bones while injuring others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Li Youyi, who had cultivated the scorching flow of Qi, these injuries were indeed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't even take a day for them to be mostly healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Shanshan insisted, so Li Youyi had no choice but to take off his clothes and let her bandage them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Qi Shanshan was bandaging his wrist, Li Youyi observed her face and eyes and asked: \"I heard that before the turmoil broke out, Sister Shanshan took Senior Sister Cai away. Where is she now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2155,"2026-06-17T10:49:26.844Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6397c88927c6b06e9eb01f9d4899f8e33798b94b72d9a1309b553e8fea3d5480","law-of-primordial-origin-chapter-21","law-of-primordial-origin-chapter-19",333,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-primeval-law-cover.jpg"]
