Chapter 370 - 370: Can Casual Needling Save Lives?
As he spoke, he kept an eye on the distance.
The white-robed man who reminded him of someone was still battling the colossal emperor lizard in a bloody frenzy.
If the man were to come over here, he wouldn’t be able to escape on his own. He needed to find a way to inform his superior, so he wouldn’t lose his life here.
So, he changed his tone, “I can release him if you want! As long as you swear not to participate in the battle between the Dingbei Army and the Chengyuan Nation’s army, I’ll release him immediately.”
Li Tianhao struggled to speak, “Miss Gu, don’t worry about me, just kill him!”
“Shut up!” Yin Qing shouted, his face twisted with a grimace, and he tightened his fingers around Li Tianhao’s neck.
Li Tianhao grunted, and veins popped on his forehead.
Although Gu Qingluan had fought with Li Tianhao before, they had no personal grudges, and Li Tianhao was known for his integrity. After losing their fight, he immediately left the Jun Residence and never intervened in her family’s affairs again.
There weren’t many people who could keep their word like him, especially someone as renowned as the War God of Chengyuan.
Many people at the North City Gate had witnessed the scene of the Dingbei Army using Li Tianhao to threaten her. If she let him die, she would undoubtedly face countless accusations.
Both morally and personally, Gu Qingluan couldn’t just stand by.
She calmly replied, “Alright, 1 agree!”
Yin Qing was momentarily stunned by her quick agreement. Did she have a hidden agenda?
After some thought, he realized that there was no room for trickery in this situation. Yin Qing immediately asked her to swear to the heavens.
Gu Qingluan swore to the heavens that she wouldn’t kill any enemies on the battlefield.
A white light flashed, indicating the oath had been made.
If she broke her promise, she would face divine punishment.
Yin Qing smiled, “Miss Gu, you’re decisive.”
With that, he suddenly threw Li Tianhao towards her.
However, as he threw him, he delivered a powerful blow to Li Tianhao’s back.
Li Tianhao coughed up blood and was sent flying toward Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan’s face suddenly darkened, and the Golden Silkworm Thread shot out from her fingertips, instantly wrapping around Yin Qing.
Yin Qing sneered with contempt, activated his arcane power, and made a vigorous attempt to break free.
To his surprise, the golden threads entwined around him tightened with force, restricting his arcane power and causing him to uncontrollably fall to the ground.
Gu Qingluan didn’t even look at him; instead, she caught the flying Li Tianhao. He was gravely injured, showing signs of impending death.
Gu Qingluan quickly stuffed a life-preserving elixir into his mouth and checked his pulse.
Yin Qing had shattered Li Tianhao’s heart meridian with that palm strike, and his life force was rapidly draining away.
He tried to speak to Gu Qingluan, blood spilling from his mouth in intervals, “Gu… Miss Gu, don’t… don’t worry… about me. Stop… stop the Ding… Ding…” “Stop talking!”
Gu Qingluan glanced at him and tapped his chest a few times with her hand. Then, she channeled her arcane power into his body to repair his heart meridian.
Li Tianhao furrowed his brow, “No… no need to… waste…”
He understood that he was beyond saving, and there was no need to waste energy on him.
Gu Qingluan ignored his words, placed him on the ground, and took out the Primordial Gold Needle.
At this moment, she couldn’t afford to worry about the possibility of exposing her identity; saving a life was the priority.
The Dingbei Army saw her busy with saving someone and rushed towards her.
“Get lost!”
Gu Qingluan shouted loudly and waved her hand, sending the Dingbei Army soldiers flying.
She couldn’t afford to be distracted while saving Li Tianhao. After some consideration, she released Su Meng from her Stellar Space.
“Guard me, and don’t let anyone get close.”
Inside the Stellar Space, time passed ten times faster than outside; one day outside equated to ten days inside. Coupled with Gu Qingluan’s spiritual pills and elixirs, Su Meng’s injuries were almost completely healed.
Upon hearing her command, Su Meng dutifully stood guard nearby and kept anyone from approaching.
When he saw a cloaked figure struggling desperately against the golden threads, Su Meng pointed his fingers.
The person was sent flying uncontrollably towards him.
Su Meng held a dagger to his neck and warned the approaching Dingbei Army, “Don’t come any closer! If anyone takes one step closer, I’ll kill him!”
The Dingbei Army, aware that Yin Qing was the reinforcement summoned by their commander, was afraid that he might really be killed, so they dared not approach.
Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Qingluan swiftly applied acupuncture to save Li Tianhao.
She inserted the needles rapidly, making it seem like an impromptu procedure.
Could impromptu needling really save a person’s life?
After a while, Gu Qingluan retrieved the Primordial Gold Needle.
Li Tianhao’s complexion had visibly improved.
Everyone was astonished; had he truly been revived?
The one most surprised was Yin Qing.
He knew full well the power of his own recent attack. A close-range attack from a Saint was deadly, and those below the Saint stage had no chance of survival.
But Li Tianhao was brought back to life!
Gu Qingluan… where did she acquire such abilities?
Gu Qingluan handed Li Tianhao over to Su Meng and then grabbed Yin Qing, throwing him to the ground.
Yin Qing, a dignified Saint, had never been treated like this before. He was infuriated and shouted in a rage, “You little brat, you better release me immediately! Otherwise, the consequences are something you can’t bear!”
Gu Qingluan snorted, kicked him in the chest, and then checked her own ears, “I didn’t quite hear that, could you repeat it?”
