C97 Emotion
Just how powerful was a palm strike from a five star Martial Spirit?
Qin Yuan did not know, but he knew that both of them had nowhere to run. Even if they did, they would not be able to dodge. If they were hit, they would all die.
As death was approaching, many scenes of the past flashed through Qin Yuan's mind. He just did not expect that he would actually die together with a girl he had not known for long.
Shang Menghan stared into Qin Yuan's eyes. There were some words that she really wanted to say out loud, but that palm strike was about to arrive, she was not allowed to speak at all.
She could only take a quick glance at Qin Yuan and forcefully circulated the paralyzing attribute astral energy.
Caught off guard, even Qin Yuan was momentarily paralyzed. He was stunned to find that Shang Menghan had a resolute smile on his face.
Shang Menghan hugged Qin Yuan as she struck her palm towards the cliff with her right hand. Borrowing the effect of the Supreme Force, she adjusted the position of the two people in the air so that she could use her back to block Liu Zhengyong's palm!
The moment the Astral Qi hit Shang Menghan, a bright light appeared behind her back, blocking seventy to eighty percent of the power of Liu Zhengyong's palm attack and completely dispersing it.
Qin Yuan only felt a sudden heat in his chest before he almost fainted, falling down together with Shang Menghai.
Liu Zhengyong chased to the edge of the cliff and stared at the cliff. He murmured to himself, "That light just now, it seemed to be the amulet given to Shang Menghan by the dean?" However, that strike of mine was enough to take their lives. Even if it wasn't, there is no way I could have survived if I were to fall from such a height! "
Halfway up the cliff, Qin Yuan's left hand was tightly hugging Shang Menghan while his right hand was tightly holding onto a small tree.
Although Shang Menghan blocked the majority of the attack, Qin Yuan was still severely injured by the gale that penetrated him. It was already extremely difficult for him to maintain his consciousness.
"I can't hold on any longer …"
Qin Yuan's nose and mouth kept bleeding as his consciousness became more and more blurry. He could not even be sure if Shang Menghan was alive in his arms, nor could he be sure how far he was from the bottom of the cliff.
The hand holding the tree trembled. In the end, it was unable to hold on. It slipped off the tree trunk and the two of them fell down again.
Within the Alchemy Martial Academy, Shang Xia suddenly felt a burst of palpitation in his heart and removed his cultivation state.
The last time he felt this way was when his parents died. But now, he only had his sister Shang Menghan as his family …
Without caring about his misconception, Shang Xia immediately left the room and ran towards the Plaza, inquiring about Shang Menghan's whereabouts.
"In the morning, I saw her heading towards the academy's gate." A student informed Shang Xia.
If Shang Menghan ever left the academy, she would tell him so. A bad premonition arose in Shang Xia's heart, as she anxiously rushed towards the academy's gate.
After a full five days, even Principal Zhao Shaoyang was alarmed. He called out his students to go with him to look for him, but there were no clues at all.
A drop of water landed on Qin Yuan's lips, awakening his consciousness.
When he weakly opened his eyes, Qin Yuan saw that the overgrown tree was growing at a height of about ten meters above him.
Shang Menghan was currently in his embrace, she didn't feel a breath of air coming from her. However, through the reaction between the Martial Masters, Qin Yuan could feel that Shang Menghan's Martial Seal had not dissipated. It was obvious that he was still alive.
However, Qin Yuan's injuries were too severe. Even with the Life Martial Seal healing his body, he was still unable to move, not to mention treating Shang Menghan.
"Miss Shang, Miss Shang!"
Qin Yuan tried to call Shang Menghan, but she didn't respond.
Helpless, Qin Yuan could only calm down and channel the Life Martial Seal's astral energy to restore his body at full speed.
The sun and moon alternated on the top of the cliff. Only then did Qin Yuan recover from some of his injuries, and he was barely able to move.
Carefully lifting Shang Menghan up, Qin Yuan checked her pulse and then used the Supreme Force to check her injuries. He could not help but take a deep breath.
Shang Menghan's injuries were not only serious, but her spine was also riddled with cracks from the Astral Energy and her internal organs were all in perfect condition. If not for the protection of the gentle Astral Qi, she would have died a long time ago.
Even so, the Aura was still dissipating. In a few hours, Shang Menghan would die.
"Her body has been severely corroded by Liu Zhengyong's Aura. Even if there was the Soul Soothing Spring that saved me back then, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to make it back …"
Qin Yuan painfully closed his eyes. Although Shang Menghan still had a breath of life left in her, she could only live for a few more hours. There was no longer any possibility of treating her …
"Ling'er, do you have a way to save her?" Qin Yuan's eyes lit up as he thought of Ling'er. With her knowledge and experience, there might be a way to save her.
However, Ling'er's voice rang out in Qin Yuan's mind, full of regret. "My memories are really too missing. As far as I can remember, none of them …"
Sighing, Qin Yuan silently decided that in the future, he would definitely retrieve the Astral Soul from the Meteorite Sword and recover Ling'er's memories.
No matter what, Qin Yuan was not someone who would easily give up. He rummaged through all the storage rings, found a few bottles of healing pellets, and melted them into the air to help Shang Menghan swallow them.
Ignoring the difference between men and women, Qin Yuan untied Shang Menghan's clothes, sprinkled the medicine on her back at the shocking wound, and then used the life attributed astral energy to aid in her recovery.
After more than four hours, Shang Menghan finally woke up. After understanding the situation, the first thing she said was, "Qin Yuan, I like you."
Qin Yuan almost flipped the pill beside him.
Shang Meng gave a sad smile and continued, "Is it suddenly... Actually, I wanted to say it when I blocked that palm. I know that we've only known each other for a short time, but that day, after I saw you for the first time in the dream tower, I knew that I liked you. Believe it or not, the feeling came suddenly, but it was real. I also know that you probably won't like a headstrong and headstrong girl … "But …"
Tears fell from the corners of Shang Menghai's eyes and fell onto the ground.
All martial artists had the ability of Internal Inspection. After waking up, Shang Menghan knew that she didn't have much time left. Even with the protective talisman that Zhao Shaoyang gave her, he had only barely managed to keep her alive for five days.
She did not want to take these words away from this world.
"What virtue or ability do I have to …" "I told you to treat me like this …" Qin Yuan felt a sense of sorrow.
Xiao Qi, also known as Qi, occupied the absolute position in Qin Yuan's heart. Even though it was impossible for the two of them to hold a grudge due to the grudge of the family, his feelings for her remained the same.
How could he accept Shang Menghan's feelings?
But now, Shang Menghan was dying in order to help him block Liu Zhengyong's palm strike, how could Qin Yuan be able to make her leave with regret?
"Qin Yuan …" Shang Menghan's eyes were hazy with tears as she sobbed, "I know, I'm going to die soon …" But, I really can't bear to part with this world. I haven't seen my brother get married and have children yet, and I haven't been able to... "I'll pester you, pester you, and make you fall in love with me …"
Qin Yuan gently hugged Shang Menghan and gently whispered into her ear, "Menghan, I like you."
"Really?" Shang Menghan's face suddenly lit up, as if the light had come back to him. She knew that Qin Yuan was lying to her, but her smile was as bright as flowers. "But, He Dan and He Qing Qing … Those two girls who were close to you, they are prettier than me and more gentle and considerate than me. How could you like me … "
"They're not as beautiful as you." Qin Yuan tried his best to control his voice.
"Thank you …" Qin Yuan. When you return to the academy and meet my brother, help me tell him that I've found my peerless hero. Tell him to hurry … Find your soulmate. "It's a pity, I can't see it anymore …" Shang Menghan's voice became softer and softer until even Qin Yuan could barely hear her clearly.
Slowly putting Shang Menghan down, Qin Yuan clenched his fists and swore, "Liu Zhengyong, if I, Qin Yuan, can't tear you into a thousand pieces, there's such a tree!"
As he spoke, Qin Yuan threw out a punch, sending his astral energy soaring into the sky and striking the small tree ten meters above his head.
"Bam!"
The small tree shook, but there was not a trace of damage.
