chapter 1985

“…. you?” Mo Cangying raised an eyebrow.

Helian Lingzhu also looked surprised as she raised her gaze. In their astonished eyes, Yun Che slowly stood up and came to the side of the young man.

“Your injuries…” Helian Lingzhu instinctively reached out her hand.

“It’s alright,” Yun Che smiled, “It looks serious, but it’s mainly external injuries. The medicinal aura here is rich, and I’ve already recovered quite a bit in these few hours.”

Before Helian Lingzhu could ask further, he placed his palm on the young man’s right arm, and a very faint profound energy slowly flowed in. “Qichuan, let me see the extent of the corrosion.”

His profound energy quickly covered the entire right arm of the young man, sensing the presence of the corrosion.

Yuan Dust was not a poison, nor did it have life. Its essence was a high-level dimensional power that could not be controlled. So its “corrosion” was far more terrifying than any poison in the Abyss’s perception.

In an instant, Yun Che understood.

“What are you going to do?” Mo Cangying stared at him. “Do you mean to say that you can remove the corrosion of Yuan Dust for him? Take care of yourself first.”

“I don’t have the ability to remove the corrosion,” Yun Che said calmly, removing his hand from the young man at that moment. “However, the corrosion he suffered is not severe. It would be a pity to directly amputate his arm. If we remove the corroded flesh, blood, bones, and meridians, the remaining part should be enough to support a full recovery.”

Mo Cangying laughed, a mocking smile in his eyes. “Do you even know what you’re talking about?”

Yun Che remained composed and didn’t explain. “Let me try, and you will see. At least, it can’t be worse than amputating the arm.”

Having said that, he didn’t wait for Mo Cangying’s response and looked at the young man. “Afraid of pain?”

The young man shook his head, somewhat dazed. “Not afraid.”

“Good, then hold on.”

As his words fell, his five fingers touched the young man’s upper arm, and his profound energy was released, instantly transforming into countless fine streams within his right arm.

Plop, plop, plop…

One after another, blood holes burst open on the young man’s arm, accompanied by splashes of blood and flying bone fragments.

But in the blink of an eye, the young man’s entire right arm was riddled with holes. This torture made his face as pale as paper, his mouth wide open, but no sound came out.

“You!” Mo Cangying exclaimed, but Helian Lingzhu stopped him. “Don’t! Maybe… maybe…”

She stared closely at Yun Che’s actions, almost unreasonably believing in something.

“Such a thing is impossible,” Mo Cangying frowned, his arms tensing. “He’s clearly…”

Before he could finish his sentence, another burst of bloody mist erupted from the young man’s arm, and Yun Che suddenly stopped.

The young man collapsed to the ground, in excruciating pain, his whole body convulsing, and a hoarse scream emanating from his mouth.

“It’s enough,” Yun Che retracted his five fingers, saying lightly.

“Qichuan!” Helian Lingzhu quickly bent down to support the young man. His still tender arm was covered with nearly a hundred large and small blood holes, a shocking sight to behold.

She released her profound energy to quickly seal the bleeding wounds. However, her anxious expression turned into astonishment, and then deep amazement.

“Yun Che!” Mo Cangying’s voice was filled with icy intent, his eyes showing anger. “He’s still a child after all, and he’s pitiable enough. We owe you a favor, and you…!”

“Senior Ninth Brother,” Helian Lingzhu interrupted him, her voice filled with excitement. “He didn’t do it on purpose. The parts of Qichuan that were corroded by Yuan Dust have all disappeared, and… his right arm is not disabled.”

“?!?” Mo Cangying turned around, a look of disbelief on his face. He wanted to speak but stopped, and then quickly reached out to cover the young man’s left arm.

Immediately, his face showed a shock even stronger than Helian Lingzhu’s.

There were no traces of the corrosion of Yuan Dust on the young man’s entire right arm.

His flesh, bones, meridians, everything was filled with countless wounds, as if he had experienced a thousand cuts and slashes.

But… regardless of the flesh and blood, the wounds, or the meridians, none of them showed the slightest sign of injury.

At the limit, missing by a hair would result in an incomplete removal of the corrosion, and an extra bit would lead to the rupture of the meridians.

It was as if it had undergone the most precise measurement and the most accurate cutting, perfect to the point of making one’s hair stand on end.

Mo Cangying turned to look at the ground covered in flesh and bone fragments, all gray and lifeless after being corroded. There was hardly any trace of vitality.

He raised his eyes suddenly, staring at Yun Che with an expression of turmoil, unable to calm his heart.

“How… how did you do it?” Helian Lingzhu blurted out. Her profound energy continued to flow in the young man’s arm, and she found it hard to believe.

Yun Che still wore his gentle smile, like calm water. “I have a very complete knowledge of medical principles in my mind. I guess I used to be a healer.”

“A healer?” Helian Lingzhu shook her head. “Knowing the body so well, controlling profound energy to this extent, none of the healers I know could achieve that, not even the chief imperial physician in our royal court.”

“… this time,” Mo Cangying didn’t argue.

The young man had forgotten his painful moans. Despite the intense pain, he could still barely move his right arm, and he couldn’t believe it. “My… my arm… doesn’t need to be amputated?”

“Yes, no need. Heal properly, and in one or two months at most, it will be as good as new,” Yun Che smiled, nodding at Helian Lingzhu. “Thank you, Princess Chang, for your generosity. To repay your life-saving grace, I will do my best.”

He straightened his back and continued, “In that case, I won’t stay any longer. Farewell to both of you. If fate allows, we will meet again, and I will repay the debt of saving my life.”

“Huh?” This sudden farewell surprised Helian Lingzhu. “You’re leaving? Why the rush? Don’t you still have your memories from before? And your injuries…”

Yun Che said, “Although my injuries haven’t fully healed, I can still move around. My memories haven’t returned, but I vaguely remember being pursued. If I stay here for too long, it might attract those who are after me.”

“You saved my life, and I find it difficult to repay you. How can I bring danger to you again?”
