Chapter 1882 (Raw 1893): Instant Reversal
Tang Dan took Xiao Chen’s pulse with her right hand. After a while, she showed a strange expression.
“This person is really fortunate. To think that he managed to survive the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox.”
“He has a delicate face and looks rather young.”
“I wonder where he ca from?”
The group looked at Xiao Chen, discussing him and feeling curious.
“Junior Brother Deng!”
Just at this mont, the man with the family na Deng felt sothing was strange. So, he walked over from the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s corpse.
He showed a smile, clearly in a good mood. When he saw Tang Dan’s strange expression, he asked, “Senior Sister Tang, what’s wrong?”
Tang Dan did not let go. She said uncertainly, “This person’s body...has a strong aura of the ferocious beast. He is severely injured, apparently from fighting the Heavenly Fox. He must have fought for a long ti for him to have such injuries. Furthermore, he is a bladesman. It is very possible that...”
Tang Dan’s words were very clear. This person might be the one who killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
Right after Tang Dan spoke, the smile on the face of the man with the family na Deng vanished. “Impossible! This Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox must have died at the hands of an expert. Furthermore, that expert probably did not care about the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s corpse, what with this aftermath, and left in a hurry.
“No matter how I look at this person, he seems to be a middle-stage Star Venerate. How could he have killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?!”
The man with the family na Deng showed a decisive expression, determined to reject the possibility that Xiao Chen killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
The reason was very simple.
If Xiao Chen killed this Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, then its corpse was not an ownerless item.
“I feel that Senior Brother Deng’s words make sense. Even Holy Venerates find it difficult to kill a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. How could it die in the hands of a Star Venerate?”
“This is an overlord-class ferocious beast, after all. Furthermore, it is the extrely crafty Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. So, that is impossible.”
“All we have to do is save him and ask, then we will know.”
So agreed with what the man with the family na Deng said. So suggested saving Xiao Chen first and seeing the situation.
However, after a while, this brought up another argunt.
“That is not good. If he really is the one who killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox and his character is villainous, we will end up endangering ourselves.”
“That’s right. Master also instructed us not to trust others readily when we are outside.”
“However, it is not quite right for us to just stand aside and watch soone die.”
The group argued endlessly but could not make up their minds in the end, not knowing what to do.
The main thing was that Tang Dan’s words complicated this simple matter.
Humans were selfish.
If Xiao Chen were just an ordinary person, saving him in passing would pose no problem at all.
However, if Xiao Chen really was the one who killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, it would impact their interests; hence, their resistance was inevitable.
“We might as well just kill him and pretend that he was dead in the first place.”
A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the man with the family na Deng. He placed his right hand on his sword handle and stepped forward, looking like he was going to attack.
Everyone was startled by their Senior Brother Deng’s actions, but they did not say anything in opposition.
“Stop!”
Tang Dan’s expression changed slightly. Then, she demanded coldly, “What are you doing? He also has the bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon, one of our race. The Heavenly Dragon bloodline is weak in the first place. How can we kill our own? How can we just stand aside and watch him die?”
The mont Tang Dao said that, the others could not refute her.
The man with the family na Deng showed a sullen expression and pouted. However, he did not say anything in the end, nor did he advance further.
No one noticed that a faint red light had flashed in Xiao Chen’s ring earlier and quickly disappeared after that.
“Go and process the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s corpse. We will keep the fur, the blood, and the bones; we will leave the Beast Core for him. Even if he is the one who killed it, it is not overboard for us to take those.”
The others did not have any objections to Tang Dan’s arrangents. This was still acceptable.
Of course, this did not include the man with the family na Deng. He felt very upset, but Tang Dan had reason on her side, so he could only endure for now.
Tang Dan fed Xiao Chen a dicinal Pill before infusing so strands of Veritable Essence Energy into his body to induce the circulation of his own Veritable Essence Energy.
Xiao Chen should be able to recover faster that way; it would be more effective than any dicinal Pill.
After doing all this, Tang Dan said, “This person is severely injured. He probably won’t wake up for one month. The two of you, take care of him.”
“Alright.”
It was clear that Tang Dan held high prestige in this group. Nobody dared to object to anything she said.
“That will be all for this experiential training. We will return imdiately. Once we return, we will investigate this person, see if he joined the Heavenly Dragon Palace.”
“However, Senior Sister Tang, we still have not finished our mission.”
“I will give Master an account for the mission. Since the Beast Tide twenty years ago, Flaming Cloud Desert has turned unusually dangerous. With two people distracted, we should not continue to risk the danger. Our lives are more important than the mission.”
“Alright!”
The group did not hesitate. After processing the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, it headed back.
When the man with the family na Deng saw the others hand the Beast Core to Tang Dan, a trace of rebellion flashed in his eyes.
The Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core was worth cities, sothing extrely rare.
In the middle of the night:
The man with the family na Deng opened his eyes. When he saw that Tang Dan had already started cultivating, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Then, that man stood up and headed to where Xiao Chen was.
The two Dragon Race cultivators caring for Xiao Chen were chatting in soft voices next to him.
“Senior Sister is really kind. If it were , I would definitely not save him.”
“ too. A Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox Beast Core can be exchanged for several True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pills.
“With just one True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill, my strength would probably increase by twenty percent.
“I heard that the disciples of the other palaces normally receive True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pills as their usual stipend. The True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill is nothing to them.”
“Hah...Hence, Senior Sister is right, as well. Our Heavenly Dragon line is already weak enough. How can we just stand by and watch him die?!”
The man with the family na Deng walked over without any expression on his face. Then, he said, “Go and rest. I’ll take care of this person.”
When the two who were chatting heard this, they stood up quickly and said, “Many thanks, Senior Brother Deng. We will take our leave first, then.”
“Go on.”
After the two left, the man with the family na Deng suddenly showed a gloomy expression. That murderous intent reappeared in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Chen.
The earlier two people simply did not know how valuable the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core was.
It could be exchanged for not only a True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill but even a Divine Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill.
“Since you are already on the verge of death, you should just continue heading there. What’s with still retaining a breath, causing trouble?”
The man with the family na Deng cautiously looked around before bending over, placing his hand on Xiao Chen’s wrist as if he was taking Xiao Chen’s pulse.
That man wanted to shatter Xiao Chen’s internal organs and cut off any possibility of survival. He wanted to create the illusion of Xiao Chen’s injuries worsening and him dying after that.
“Sorry,” the man with the family na Deng said sullenly as he prepared to make his move.
Just at this mont, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the other, asking coldly. “What are you doing?”
“You...”
This startled the man with the family na Deng. He had not expected Xiao Chen to wake up all of a sudden.
After the shock, that man revealed his ferocious side. He said in a muted voice, “I want you dead!”
However, just as that man was about to use his Veritable Essence Energy to crush Xiao Chen’s internal organs, he was horrified to discover that Xiao Chen had countered by grabbing his wrist at so point in ti.
“Whoosh!”
A strand of slightly weak but incomparably tyrannical Veritable Essence Energy flowed into that man with the family na Deng via his blood vessels.
A sharp pain imdiately sprouted in that man’s chest, making him shrill in pain.
This sharp shrill sounded extrely piercing in the late night, startling everyone.
Tang Dan rushed over, leading her fellow disciples. Then, she frowned and questioned that man with the family na Deng. “What’s wrong?”
“He wants to kill !” that man with the family na Deng shouted as he yanked his hand back and pointed at Xiao Chen.
However, that man suddenly discovered that Xiao Chen had tightly shut his eyes at so point in ti. His breathing seed faint, showing no indication of waking up at all.
“Junior Brother Deng Yun, are you joking?”
“I’m really not. He clearly opened his eyes earlier and grabbed my wrist. I swear!” Deng Yun found this unbelievable. He grabbed Xiao Chen and shouted, “Wake up! Stop playing dead!”
“Stop!”
Tang Dan quickly curbed Deng Yun and said heavily, “Junior Brother Deng, I know you want to obtain the Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core, so that you can break through your bottleneck. However, there is no need to do sothing so despicable, soiling your reputation.”
“I’m not! It really is him wanting to kill !”
Tang Dan looked at Deng Yun coldly. “I think you are the one who wants to kill him. You still have not explained to why you are here!”
“It was Senior Brother Deng that took the initiative to replace us to care for this person,” the other two imdiately said when they saw their Senior Sister Tang getting angry.
“I...” Deng Yun was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Tang Dan glared at Deng Yun and said, “There’s no need to explain. Don’t let it happen again. If he really isn’t the one who killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, then I will definitely give you a portion of the True Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill that I will obtain from exchanging the Beast Core.
“Junior Brother Deng, from now on, I will personally take care of this person.”
Thus, this commotion ca to an end. Deng Yun left with an extrely upset expression.
Tang Dan ordered the others to carry Xiao Chen to her tent.
“Ka ca!”
After Tang Dan entered the tent, azure light flashed on the sword in her hand.
Then, she pressed the sword against Xiao Chen’s chest with lightning speed and said coldly, “Stop pretending. I know you’re already awake.”
The power of the sword encased Xiao Chen’s entire body. Tang Dan circulated her Veritable Essence Energy, and a faint murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
If Xiao Chen still did not open his eyes, the sword Qi would crush his body when she stabbed her sword down.
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. He did not say anything, only looked at Tang Dan.
“Answer whatever I ask.”
Even though Tang Dan already knew that Xiao Chen had woken up, she still felt sowhat shocked at actually seeing him awake.
When she checked on his injuries earlier that day, she had seen that they were very severe.
Tang Dan had determined that he would need at least one month to wake up. Unexpectedly, he did so that very night.
“What do you want to ask?” Xiao Chen replied calmly, with no fluster in his eyes.
“Were you the one who killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen’s clear and concise answer startled Tang Dan sowhat; then, so disbelief set in.
“However...”
“However, what?” Tang Dan prompted.
“Pu ci!”
Just as Tang Dan continued asking, Xiao Chen suddenly stood up, letting the sword pierce his chest. Blood spurted out and dyed his clothes red.
Shock flashed in Tang Dan’s eyes. Her brain blanked out montarily.
When Tang Dan returned to her senses, Xiao Chen had already ford the Seven Kill Seal and pointed a finger at her forehead.
Xiao Chen’s terrifying killing intent imdiately strengthened sevenfold. It surged into Tang Dan’s body like raging floodwaters.
The killing intent filled every corner, instantly restraining her and rendering her immobile.
The terrifying killing intent made it hard for her to even breathe, feeling extrely unbearable.
Xiao Chen relaxed his hand and stood up. Then, he slowly pulled the sword out and said indifferently, “However, I do not like others pointing their sword at .”
