Chapter 1298: I’m Not Going to Save Him
Earlier on, Chen Xiaobei told Luo Puti to stay away and made sure that Ding Ding’ao did not touch her. He even commented that Ding Ding’ao’s acupuncture technique was useless.
These were all indications that Chen Xiaobei was familiar with the Art of Poison, and had already recognized the nature of this particular venom.
This was precisely why the people of Kunlun Faction begged Chen Xiaobei for help.
Even the arrogant young master Zhou Xiaokun was no exception.First of all, the Kunlun Faction was a legit faction. Zhou Xiaokun still had a little bit of humanity left of his upbringing that he could not bear to see his Shimei die.
Secondly, Wang Mengyu was the Fifth Elder’s granddaughter, the pearl of the faction!
Fifth Elder had actually forbidden Wang Mengyu to go along, but because she was head over heels over Zhou Xiaokun, Wang Mengyu was adamant. Zhou Xiaokun even swore that he would bring her back in one piece without a single scratch!
Should Wang Mengyu ever die, Zhou Xiaokun would not know how to break the news to Fifth Elder and his reputation would deteriorate to the point no one would ever respect him anymore.
All these accummulated reasons were exactly why the people of Kunlun humbled themselves and asked Chen Xiaobei for help from the bottom of their hearts.
Chen Xiaobei was the sort of person who preferred the more placid cajolery than forced coercions. Having his good intentions taken advantage of was not something Chen Xiaobei would condone with.
It was because of the group’s sincerity in their request that Chen Xiaobei had agreed to help.Instead of using the silver needle, Chen Xiaobei used his hands. He bent the fingers in his right hand into a unique formation and starting pressing against the three punctured holes on Wang Mengyu’s thigh.
The crowd gasped.
Ding Ding’ao asked, “How is it that you can touch Wang Mengyu and I can’t?”
“That’s because you’re one dumb fool.”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged nonchalantly.
“You…”
Ding Ding’ao looked as though he was ready to pounce on Chen Xiaobei. But the anger boiling in his veins would only spread the venom faster. He quickly shut his mouth and dropped the act.
That ringing question was like a lump in his throat that he could not seem to get rid of.
Why was it that he was infected when he checked on Wang Mengyu’s pulse but nothing happened to Chen Xiaobei despite him coming into close contact with Wang Mengyu’s wound!
The both of them had direct contact with Wang Mengyu, but why were the results so different?
That was unfair! Ding Ding’ao was so confused!
The rest of the group were just as puzzled.
What they did not know was that Chen Xiaobei wore a Seven Treasures Pouch on his chest. Inside the pouch was a Cleansing Bodhi that Duobao Rulai gifted him!
With the Cleansing Bodhi’s protection, Chen Xiaobei was basically immune to any poison attack. He would remain perfectly fine even if the blood-crowned snake bit him!
Chen Xiaobei was also using this Cleansing Bodhi to help flush the venom out of Wang Mengyu’s system.
Chen Xiaobei’s medical skills alone were actually sufficient to have done the job, but with the Cleansing Bodhi, it was done even more efficiently.
With his right hand pressed on the punctured wound, Chen Xiaobei activated his True Qi, built a Spiritual Connection with the Cleansing Bodhi, and absorbed the Bodhi’s strength into his body. Once it was combined with his True Qi, he transferred it into Wang Mengyu’s body.
Zing!
Chen Xiaobei raised two fingers on each hand; and his True Kang condensed, morphing it into the shape of a surgical knife and gently running it across the area where the snake had bitten her.
The black scabs were cut opened, and the Bodhi’s force drove out the infected blood from Wang Mengyu’s body.
“It’s better! My leg looks so much better! How incredible! Mr. Chen! You are a miracle worker!” Wang Mengyu squealed excitedly.
As the adulterated blood spilled out from her veins, the dried skin on her thigh began to heal, back to its original state. Her long lean legs began to morph; like a pupa turning into a butterfly.
“It’s done!”
Half a minute later, Chen Xiaobei removed his hand and said, “Wash the wound with clean water and then give her some medicine to recover her strength. She should be fine now!”
“Water! Bring water! And a Qi Rejuvenating Pill!” Zhou Xiaokun ordered.
There was barely any drinking water left. Nearly everyone’s drinking flasks were emptied of its content for Wang Mengyu.
After taking Kunlun Faction’s own Qi Rejuvenating Pill, Wang Mengyu’s vitality returned back to its original state. She was able to move freely now that the venom was completely removed from her body.
Wang Mengyu thanked Chen Xiaobei profusely.
Her initial disdain and hatred for Chen Xiaobei had turned into gratefulness and even a little admiration.
Chen Xiaobei was able to counteract the venom, whereby even Ding Ding’ao whose family were the experts in the Art of Poison did not know how to go about!
It was not just Wang Mengyu who felt so about Chen Xiaobei, but even Zhuo Qunfeng and most of the Kunlun Faction disciples saw Chen Xioabei in a different light with renewed respect.
Even the Xingxiu Faction disciples were amazed by Chen Xiaobei’s stunning skills.
“Elder Shixiong, have you figured things out yet? Quickly, get Mr. Chen to help you! Honestly, he’s the only who can help you now!”
“Yeah! Elder Shixiong! The poison is going to spread to your shoulder and next, it’ll be your lungs and then your heart! You’ll then die!”
“C’mon, just ask Mr. Chen!”
The people of Xiungxiu Faction saw what Chen Xiaobei had done and persuaded Ding Ding’ao to seek help from Chen Xiaobei.
“Shut up, all of you!” Ding Ding’ao roared.
His reaction made them think that he would rather die than beg Chen Xiaobei for help, and they were about to praise him for his determination when he said, “I know I’ll eventually have to ask Mr. Chen for help! Othewise, who else is going to help me? You? Mr. Chen, please save me!”
But Chen Xiaobei cut him off with a harsh refusal. “I won’t save you!”
“What?!” Ding Ding’ao’s eyes grew wide with disbelief. “Mr. Chen! Please don’t do this! I will bow my head to the ground! 3,000 times! Wait, no! I could even do 30,000 times! Please, I beg you, please save me!”
Clearly, Ding Ding’ao feared for his life.
He was at a lost. If Chen Xiaobei refused to help him, he had no choice but to succumb to the fact and wait for the venom to course through his veins.
Chen Xiaobei ignored him, and walked away.
Ding Ding’ao felt like he was going to explode. He looked at the disciples of his faction and barked, “You idiots! What are you doing just standing there! Hurry and get Mr. Chen to help!”
“Mr. Chen! Please save our elder Shixiong!”
“Please help our elder Shixiong! He’ll die…”
“Mr. Chen! Please!”
The people of Xingxiu Faction ran up to Chen Xiaobei and bowed before him.
Chen Xiaobei said in a frosty tone, “Look. When he thought that he was able to deal with the venom, he said he was going to kill me! Now when he realizes that he is doomed, he begs me to save his life?! Did his brain just melt under all this heat? There’s no way I’m saving him!” Chen Xiaobei scoffed, but then paused for a moment and said “But, I can give him some pointers.”
“What is it? Please tell, Mr. Chen!” The Xingxiu disciples asked, overwrought.
Chen Xiaobei replied, “Cut off his arm from his shoulder. Sacrifice that hand, and he can keep his life!”
