107: Chapter One Hundred and Three: The Youth Within 107: Chapter One Hundred and Three: The Youth Within Jiang Wang still looked back.He knew the danger, and he was clear that turning back meant a slim chance of survival.
But no matter what, Bai Lian had once saved his life, and he couldnât just walk away.
He was unable to pretend ignorance of her predicament, unable to turn a deaf ear.
He lurked cautiously, not daring to reveal a hint of fighting spirit to avoid detection.
But the battle between Bai Lian and Ji Xuan was formidable.
He couldnât even withstand the remnants of their power, so he retreated again and again, circled around and around.
He kept looking for an opportunity, but a battle of this magnitude was beyond his capacity to join.
He shifted positions countless times, sought countless angles, and still couldnât find an entry point.
He held onto his sword for a long time, yet the sword could not leave its sheath!
He was waiting, waiting for that earth-shattering strike, waiting for the chance of that most splendid moment.
But Ji Xuan was not Xiong Wen, nor was he pressed by Bai Lian in the fight; the peak of the Inner Mansion Realm was incomparable to the Ascending Dragon Realm.
Having passed through Heaven and Earth Gate, each realm is its own world.
This saying wasnât in vain.
To hold onto his sword in such a battle, progress was needless to say.
Crisis refines the heart; the Dao heart sharpens the sword.
If tonight he could deliver one stroke, the world would henceforth be different.
After a dizzying sequence of combat, suddenly, Bai Lian was sent flying.
And she happened to fly right over the area where he was crouched.
Without time to think, his body moved faster than his thoughts.
He rushed out the moment he could and caught Bai Lian.
His sword had not left its sheath, but he had already delivered that strike!
In the battle of Inner Mansion powerhouses, the young man stood up.
Thud!
The moment he touched Bai Lianâs body, the residual force of Ji Xuanâs punch came surging through, tearing through his Path Origin defenses like they were rotting wood.
A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
He was sent flying, crashed to the ground, tumbled over.
He scrambled to his feet, clutched Bai Lian, and ran wildly.
The Four Spirits Body Refinement Technique operated at full power, replenishing his physical strength; he had never run so fast before.
All he heard was the wind, the wind, the howling of the wind.
He knew he might not escape, but he had to try.
Only when the roar of a tidal wave came from behind did he realize that the situation had changed, but he didnât dare to stop and look back.
So, he wasnât at all clear about what had happened behind him.
He didnât run directly towards Fenglin City, but instead he ran towards Wangjiang City first, then turned eastward, turned again and again, before finally heading north.
With now two Star River Dao Spirals established, his Path Origin was abundant, and he could have run back to Fenglin City in one go.
But he didnât do that; after clearing his tracks, he randomly darted into a mountain forest.
He was unclear what had happened, why Ji Xuan hadnât immediately pursued, which bought him precious time.
But he was very clear that his speed was no match for Ji Xuan; once his whereabouts were exposed, he would easily be caught up.
And running wildly on the roads tonight, he undoubtedly made the most obvious target.
So, he chose to find a place to hide.
Having found a cave and after giving a sound thrashing to its occupantâa common black bearâJiang Wang took Bai Lian and hid inside the cave.
But he didnât kill the black bear; instead, he continued to press it inside the cave to serve as cover.
Only then did he have the time to check on Bai Lianâs injuries.
The cave was very dry; the black bear had high standards for its living environment.
Carefully laying Bai Lian flat on the ground, Jiang Wang casually conjured a ball of fire and floated it in mid-air to provide light.
The black bear was clearly frightened, but after a glare from Jiang Wang, it obediently sat down in its place.
Bai Lian had completely lost consciousness, and those soul-stirring eyes were now closed.
Her black clothes were torn in many places, revealing an alluring pale landscape.
The black veil covering her face, however, was intact, surely no ordinary item.
Jiang Wang calmed his mind and focused his energy.
The most serious injury appeared to be in her abdomen, where flesh was mangled in a complete circle, with fabric shreds and flesh mixed together, leaving not a single intact spot to be seen.
The Cultivation Technique of a third-grade medium quality was the only healing Dao Technique Jiang Wang knew.
At its core, it gathered Wood tactics Vitality to help the wounded revive their vigor and promote self-healing.
For an injury like Bai Lianâs, itâs better than nothing.
But Jiang Wang could only try.
After forming the hand seal, a clump of azure vitality slowly approached Bai Lianâs abdomen, reacting with her wound.
But then, a flash of white light, and the clump of azure vitality silently dissipated.
With the level of Jiang Wangâs cultivation technique, he simply couldnât heal the wound left by Ji Xuan.
However, at the moment the azure vitality touched Bai Lian, some kind of miraculous change occurred.
Jiang Wangâs Four Spirits Body Refinement Technique with the Azure Dragon chapter was perfect, making him extremely sensitive to Wood tactics vitality.
He clearly sensed the dispersal of the cultivation technique and did not overlook the momentary change in the black candle within the Tongtian Palace.
That black candle, it was lit.
Inside the Tongtian Palace, it ignited without fire.
Strangely enough, Jiang Wang subconsciously understood that this black candle could burn for a quarter of an hour, and then it would vanish.
But he didnât know how it was lit, nor how it should be lit.
He also didnât know how to extinguish it before it burned out.
All in all, everything was unclear.
The only clear thing was that it probably had some connection to Bai Lian.
The black candle was extinguished, its length shortened.
It had been residing in Jiang Wangâs Tongtian Palace for a long time, showing no particular qualities other than being entangled by the True Spirit of the Dao veins.
But now, it ignited and extinguished itself.
And with that flash of light, a Dao Technique emerged in Jiang Wangâs mind.
For such an instant to not shorten by so much, it must be due to this Dao Technique.
âFlesh regenerates bones, the soul returns to the decaying bodyâŚâ
Jiang Wang muttered subconsciously, his right hand unwittingly forming a hand seal, until enveloped in a layer of white light.
That light should have been pale rather than bright, supposed to be eerie, yet it inexplicably had a sense of sanctity.
Placing this orb of white light over Bai Lianâs abdomen, the flesh and blood there began to squirm at a speed visible to the naked eye, starting to heal.
In the end, even Bai Lianâs breathing became steady.
And Jiang Wang didnât even know where this white light came from, what its principle was, or what power it used.
He only knew the name of this Dao Technique in his mindâFlesh Regeneration Soul Return Technique.
The black candle that appeared abruptly in the Tongtian PalaceâŚ
seemed to be something extraordinary.
Jiang Wang was focused on healing and didnât notice.
Behind him, the black bear had completely curled up into a ball, trembling with fear.
When Bai Lian faintly awoke, it was already bright daylight.
The sunlight even penetrated into the cave, allowing Bai Lian to clearly see the black bear.
It leaned against the cave wall, sitting very properly with both bear paws peacefully resting in front, motionless.
Then, smelling a strange odor, Bai Lianâs gaze shifted, and then she saw Jiang Wang.
He was holding something that might be called a âbowl,â walking slowly towards Bai Lian.
The sunlight fell on his face, and Bai Lian thought he looked somewhat handsome.
âAwake?â Jiang Wang said softly.
âMmm.â Perhaps because she was recently injured, Bai Lianâs voice was unexpectedly tender.
âWhile you were unconscious, you kept calling out for rice.â Jiang Wang explained, holding what was in his hands: âI thought you were probably hungry.
But itâs not convenient to prepare food right now.
So I found some wild vegetables and made you a bowl of soup.â
âRiceâŚâ Bai Lian paused: âYou made it for meâŚ?â
âAh.â Jiang Wang was a bit embarrassed: âMy family sold medicinal herbs when I was a child, I can distinguish between herbs and wild vegetables.
Donât worry, thereâs no poison.
The bowl, I hollowed out a stone to make it temporarily, using Dao Technique to control the fireâŚâ
âBring it here.â Bai Lian interrupted him.
âOh.â Jiang Wang approached, handing the bowl of wild vegetable soup to Bai Lian.
Bai Lian struggled to sit up halfway, took one look and immediately wanted to lie back down.
The âbowlâ was already very roughly made, at best it was a stone with a pit.
And the soupâŚ
if one could call that colorful, sticky liquid soup.
After getting closer, that strange smell was even more terribleâŚ
âDrink it.â Jiang Wang extended it further, very expectant, very sincere.
âNo one has ever made soup for me before.â Bai Lian said.
She steeled herself, taking the âbowlâ from him.
âYouâre a patient now, you deserve to be taken care of.â Jiang Wang said.
Bai Lian couldnât deny, beyond the unattractive appearance and unpleasant odor, that this bowl of soup brought her a warmth she had almost never felt before.
Being cared forâŚ
She had never been taken care of before.
