Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 754 - 748: Healing Injuries_1

By the old well!

Qin Wudao, Xiao He, Xuanzang, and others were waiting anxiously.

With a ripple in space, Xiang Yu flew out from the old well. Before he even landed, he spewed a mouthful of green blood that reeked heavily of death.

"General Xiang, what happened to you?" Qin Wudao asked, his expression shifting slightly.

"While I was leaving, an evil spirit managed to scratch me. My head feels a little..." Xiang Yu replied weakly. Before he could finish, his vision blackened, and he collapsed unconscious, face down, revealing hideous claw marks from which green blood continuously seeped.

Xiao He, Yue Fei, and the others were aghast. They quickly gathered around him, their brows furrowed in deep worry.

Xiang Yu's condition looked truly dire: his face was deathly pale, his lips green, as if afflicted by a fatal poison, his life hanging by a thread.

"Such a strange poison!" Zuo Ci exclaimed as he squatted to investigate, his expression changing.

As a Daoist master, although his medical skills were not equal to those of Hua Tuo and others from the Imperial Medical Academy, they weren't far inferior. He quickly realized the terrifying nature of the poison in Xiang Yu's body.

This poison was a poison of laws!

A deadly toxin formed by the endless power of the law of death!

It was akin to a curse of the Great Dao!

"Can it be cured?" Qin Wudao asked the crucial question.

Zuo Ci didn't respond. He took out a pill gourd, tipped out a golden pill, and fed it to Xiang Yu.

The pill entered his body, transforming into pure medicinal power that began to expel the poison.

HISS!

Wisps of greyish gas seeped from Xiang Yu's pores, corroding the Void. Even immortal qi could not withstand it, and the Rhymes of Dao were obliterated.

Minutes later, Zuo Ci shook his head in dejection.

He had failed.

"Your Majesty, perhaps if the three Divine Doctors were to intervene, they might save General Xiang's life, but they are too far away!" Zuo Ci replied, his face etched with shame.

Qin Wudao's heart clenched. Too far away! It means Xiang Yu can't hold on until we return to the Imperial Capital!

Hearing this, Xiao He, Huo Qubing, Yue Fei, and Xuanzang subconsciously clenched their fists, their eyes dimming with sorrow.

Only Cai Wenji hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Your Majesty, let me try."

"Hm?" Qin Wudao looked up at Cai Wenji. Dressed in a long green gown, with her perfectly proportioned figure, three thousand strands of black silk hair cascading to her waist, and an ethereal, fairy-like aura, she exuded a unique charm. He nodded slightly.

He remembered Cai Wenji's Divine Skill; perhaps it could cleanse the poison. He couldn't help but feel a flicker of anticipation.

"Revival of All Woods!" Cai Wenji stepped forward, her delicate face solemn. She formed hand seals, and above her head, in the rippling Void, phantoms of countless Divine Trees appeared, soaring into the clouds, standing tall between Heaven and Earth.

The Divine Trees stood firm, their leaves swaying, hazy and indistinct, yet they emanated a brilliant light that illuminated the Starfield.

Gazing closely, one would see that each leaf held myriad wondrous phenomena.

A streak of green light flashed past!

Patients with incurable diseases were reborn.

The heavily wounded were healed in an instant.

The white-haired elderly seemed to snatch longevity from Heaven itself...

WHOOSH!

A gentle breeze blew.

The Divine Trees swayed, stirring up a sky full of vitality!

An unending stream of life force spread out. Within a ten-thousand-li radius, withered immortal plants sprouted tender buds and, in the blink of an eye, burst into brilliant blossoms.

Flowers bloom with a thought!

Myriad Trees revive!

"Descend!" Cai Wenji uttered softly. Enveloped in the light of life, she resembled a goddess of life.

Streams of life force flew from the myriad Divine Trees into Xiang Yu's body. Instantly, the death toxin that even Zuo Ci could not expel recoiled like mice encountering a cat.

But the life force was almost inexhaustible; no matter how the death toxin struggled, it was futile.

HISS!

After three breaths, a piercing sound erupted from within Xiang Yu, shattering a large expanse of the Void.

Immediately afterward, a cloud of grey mist rose, transforming into a winged evil spirit. It shot Cai Wenji a look filled with venomous resentment before evaporating into thin air.

Meanwhile, in the Godfall Land, atop a barren mountain peak, a winged evil spirit lay coiled. It suddenly snapped its eyes open, utterly astonished.

The Poison of Death... it was actually expelled?

The evil spirit exclaimed in shock, its expression changing rapidly.

The Poison of Death was their clan's most powerful Divine Skill. For countless years, no one had ever managed to overcome it, establishing the evil spirits' fearsome reputation.

If the Poison of Death could be countered, it would undoubtedly be a massive catastrophe for the evil spirit clan.

After all, the Godfall Land held countless buried legacies, an immense temptation to the beings of the Myriad Heavens.

And they were the gatekeepers, preventing outsiders from obtaining these legacies.

Consider this: would a tiger without its claws and fangs still possess any deterrent power?

No, this information must be reported immediately! the evil spirit muttered. Its wings beat furiously as it soared towards the boundless, grey expanse of Changkong.

Beneath it, countless evil spirits prostrated themselves, their eyes vacant, devoid of any glimmer of spirit.

...

"Your Majesty!" A short while later, Xiang Yu opened his eyes. Two beams of blood-red light shot out, piercing the Void, as he saluted respectfully.

"What happened? How did you get poisoned?" Qin Wudao asked.

In the earlier battle with the evil spirits, he too had been injured by one, yet he had shown no signs of poisoning.

"As I was leaving, I was struck by a winged evil spirit! This evil spirit... it was different from the ordinary ones. Your servant saw intelligence in its eyes..." Xiang Yu recounted, his voice laced with trepidation.

Qin Wudao was somewhat surprised.

Intelligence! How could that be possible? Ancient records state that the evil spirits of the Godfall Land do not possess intelligence, only a primal instinct for slaughter!

"Are you sure you saw correctly?" Qin Wudao asked.

"I am certain!" Xiang Yu affirmed.

Qin Wudao pondered, his expression growing increasingly grave. If the evil spirits of the Godfall Land possessed intelligence, that would be undeniably terrifying. The first question was, why would the evil spirits feign a lack of intelligence?

They're hiding! Then what are they hiding? According to the Formation Emperor's memories, the Godfall Land was formed during a great war preceding the Azure Ancient Era. Countless eons have passed since then, an immeasurable river of history. During this vast span of time, how many Martial Artists had entered the Godfall Land? Innumerable! Yet, even so, in such an environment, the evil spirits of the Godfall Land had successfully feigned mindlessness, leading the beings of the Myriad Heavens to define them as lacking intelligence. Terrifying! Far too terrifying!

The more Qin Wudao thought, the more alarmed he became, a chill running down his spine.

Any sentient being with intelligence is difficult to manage. Take the Great Qin Heavenly Court, for example: how many truly align with the court, and how many are inherently rebellious? He had no idea! This suggested that the evil spirits of the Godfall Land were a highly unified and obedient race; only thus could they succeed in feigning mindlessness. So, the question arises again! Why would the evil spirit clan pretend to lack intelligence? What is their ultimate goal? Have the experts of the Nine Heavens truly not discovered the evil spirit clan's secret?

All sorts of enigmas filled Qin Wudao's mind, unsolvable.

The waters of the Myriad Heavens run too deep!

Qin Wudao rubbed his brow, then waved his hand and said, "Seal the ancient well. We return to the Imperial Capital!"
