Chapter 915: with translation of chapter title

Several hours passed; Chishe had already digested the two inner pellets from before, its cultivation rose noticeably and its attack power grew strong. The key is that this kid's skills keep coming, and together with War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense they attack the Xuètóng Hānsī, actually managing quite well.

Xiao Jiu let out a big sigh of relief, then went to check Liu Junyan's leg.

"Shulan personally rushed over." Liu Junyan said, "Guyun Que accompanied her here, and the two of them cooperated to treat my injuries; I have already recovered more than half."

Xiao Jiu's examination result was the same.

Liu Junyan originally had the condition of skin, flesh, and bone separated into three parts; now it has completely improved, although it still looks reddish, it has become much firmer.

Xiao Jiu no longer needs to worry that Liu Junyan would take a few steps and his legs would suddenly give way.

At the same time she was also very surprised: "Shulan's secluded breakthrough this time seems quite significant."

They have worked together for over ten years; Xiao Jiu knows exactly the level of Bái Sōnglán's medical skills.

From Liu Junyan's recovery situation, Bái Sōnglán's breakthrough this time in seclusion may be far better than what she and Guyun Que had expected.

Surely, Liu Junyan said: "Objectively speaking, Guyun Que is considered a benefactor destined for Shulan; according to Shulan, it was Guyun Que who helped her at a critical moment, enabling her to unexpectedly awaken the Hidden Sting Needle Technique; this time she used that technique to treat my injuries."

Xiao Jiu asked curiously: "Hidden Sting Formation? Shulan never mentioned that before."

"It's a hidden variant." Liu Junyan said, "The general idea is that Shulan pulls out the spines from her body to make needles, which she inserts into the patient's acupoints; previously, after needling, all spines had to be removed, but now her spines can directly merge into the patient's body, the effect is more than doubled, and the harm to the patient's body is almost zero."

This is simply miraculous!

Xiao Jiu felt happy for Bái Sōnglán, yet also worried: "Does this cause great harm to Shulan's body?"

"It will consume her essence, energy, and spirit; it's not an inexhaustible supply. Each time she performs the needle technique, she needs time to recover." Liu Junyan said, "Moreover, the number of patients requiring her to expend the Hidden Sting Needle Technique for treatment is not large, and she does not act casually."

Yes.

Not to mention using the Hidden Sting Needle Technique; ordinary patients find it hard to see Bái Sōnglán, and the vast majority of ailments can be handled by the Bai Family Medical Clinic.

Whether it's Bai Qiong or Bai Jīngmò, they have already become top figures in the medical field.

The growth of Bái Sōnglán ultimately benefits most this group of people.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu asked concernedly: "Shulan, the consumption from helping you recover your injuries this time must be huge; how is she now?"

After all, she just came out of seclusion and already consumed this much.

Liu Junyan said: "Guyun Que sent her back to rest; once we finish handling things here and return, she should have mostly recovered."

Xiao Jiu nodded, then looked again toward the direction of the battle.

At this moment, the Xuètóng Hānsī has been forced to reveal its bony form again; War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense keeps suppressing it, Chishe is launching sneak attacks from the side, and the Mòyù Bānzhǐ is circling around, weakening the mana of the bony shrine; this battle is proceeding much more easily than Xiao Jiu imagined.

In this world, no matter how powerful you are, even if you are so strong that your opponent finds no way to strike, there always exists a natural counter.

Previously, Xiao Jiu thought that with the support of the Mòyù Bānzhǐ, he himself was the nemesis of the Xuètóng Hānsī.

Only now does Xiao Jiu realize that the true nemesis of the Xuètóng Hānsī has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present.

It is War God Bai Qi!

Even if it is merely a trace of spiritual sense, which had once dissipated, after recondensing it remains an absolute kill against the Xuètóng Hānsī.

When Xiao Jiu saw a faint thread of blood seeping from Liu Junyan's lips, she realized that things were actually not as easy as they seemed on the surface.

Xiao Jiu abruptly turned her head to glance at War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense, and indeed it had faded considerably.

This means that the formation array Liu Junyan used to condense War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense via Dragon Qi from the earth veins can barely hold on any longer.

Xiao Jiu helped Liu Junyan sit aside and asked: "What formation array did you activate? Do you need me to pass some true qi to you to maintain it a bit longer?"

Liu Junyan shook her head: "After you had Chishe send me away, I stayed over a li away, and after setting up a sealing formation array, I used my own Dragon Qi to strike into the eight directions of Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, Marsh to set up formation eyes, successfully activating the Innate Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation Array, thereby gathering the Dragon Qi of the earth veins within a hundred-li radius; then I overlaid another layer of the Eight Extremes Primordial Chaos Spirit Formation Array on top of it, extracting the War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense from the gathered earth vein Dragon Qi. I can say without exaggeration that I have already done this to the utmost; the dissipation of this trace of War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense is permanent, and even if I now strengthen the formation array, it would be of no use."

Xiao Jiu knew that while she was fighting the Xuètóng Hānsī, Liu Junyan certainly would not be doing nothing.

Even he would do more.

Now, as War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense is about to dissipate, the backlash of the needle technique also begins to show, which is why a trace of blood appears at the corner of Liu Junyan's mouth.

Fortunately, the backlash is not too great; Liu Junyan can withstand it.

Xiao Jiu patted Liu Junyan's shoulder and said: "You've done enough; just stay here, I'll handle the rest."

This time, Liu Junyan did not stop Xiao Jiu, he obediently nodded: "The cleanup work can only be done by you, the Earth Deity Maiden; within a two-li radius, all living beings are essentially devastated, and only you can restore them to their original state."

The devastation within a two-li radius is still the result of Liu Junyan's efforts.

When the Xuètóng Hānsī is captured later, the more gruesome the outcome, the stronger the backlash will be, and the affected range will only double upward.

As they spoke, War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense suddenly burst out with a roar.

Immediately after, the Azure Abyss Sword slashed out a huge blade of sword qi, precisely striking the bony form of the Xuètóng Hānsī.

All that could be heard was a shrill howl; in an instant, blood mist filled the space, choking people into uncontrollable coughing.

Within that blood mist, War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense clearly flickered and then completely dissipated after half a minute.

And the bony form of the Xuètóng Hānsī was split in half down the middle.

The huge bony frame staggered a few steps east and west before collapsing with a clatter.

At the same time, the bony shrine collapsed with a roar, kicking up a large amount of bone powder.

The next moment, the huge blood mist surged outward like a wave in all directions, leaving nothing growing in its wake.

Within the blood mist, the huge blood-red eye stared fixedly at Liu Junyan, as if it wanted to devour him alive.

If it weren't for Liu Junyan, War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense would not have been recondensed.

Fighting Xiao Jiu is difficult, but the Xuètóng Hānsī feels it is still within controllable limits.

Even if defeated, as long as the green mountains remain, there is no fear of lacking a chance to rise again…
