Chapter 233 Rescued
Peng Xuanbo retracted his spiritual energy, released his accumulated strength, and caught Shi Chen. He looked at the three Divine Transformation cultivators with a cold gaze, and a powerful pressure emanated from his body.
"Your master has run away, why don't you get out of here!" Peng Xuanbo shouted angrily.
The three Divine Transformation cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them said stubbornly, "Don't be so complacent. We are not afraid of you!"
Peng Xuanbo sneered and disappeared in an instant. The next second, he appeared in front of the person who had spoken and raised his hand to strike him.
"boom!"
The Jindan monk was knocked away and vomited blood.
Seeing this, the other two turned pale with fright and tried to run away.
How could Peng Xuanbo let them go easily? He formed seals with his hands and a powerful spiritual power bound the two of them.
"You see, this is what your master does. He abandons you and lets you delay time so that he can escape. Well, I'll collect some interest first. We will meet again sooner or later." Peng Xuanbo said softly, looking in the direction where Li Tianfeng escaped.
He gathered his strength, activated his spiritual power, and threw out two punches.
Two fists with a yellowish-brown luster shot out from each other as fast as meteors, bringing with them whistling wind sounds and sharp fluctuations of spiritual power, and instantly hit the two people three feet away.
boom! boom!
Their bodies shot out like cannonballs, slamming heavily into the turbulent sea, sending up a massive splash. The water instantly submerged them.
Peng Xuanbo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea coldly.
Four people flew in from the cross-sea flying boat and quickly came to the side of the floating Shi Chen.
The leading woman's face was filled with anxiety, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes red. She stretched out her trembling hands, wanting to touch Shi Chen, but was afraid of hurting him. She cried out in a sobbing voice, "Husband, how are you?"
The other woman bit her lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands and stamped her feet anxiously: "What should I do? It's all that damn Li Tianfeng's fault!"
The last woman was calmer, but worry was clearly visible in her eyes.
She quickly took out a bottle of pills from her storage bag and said in an anxious but calm voice, "Don't panic, give him this healing pill quickly." As she spoke, she gently pried open Shi Chen's mouth and put the pill in.
In the end, the man gritted his teeth, his eyes were cold, his fists clenched, but he watched without saying a word.
It turned out to be Liang Ruyan, three others, and Huang Qi. They surrounded Shi Chen, their eyes never leaving him, their hearts and eyes filled with worry and concern for his injuries.
"You take good care of him. Although his injuries are serious, his life is not in danger. There is another woman on the flying boat over there. Her condition is not very good and it seems that her life is coming to an end." Peng Xuanbo said.
Huang Qi used his spiritual power to pull the flying boat over and found the unconscious woman on the boat very strange.
She had gray hair and a delicate face, but her neck was covered with wrinkles, like a piece of old silk, and her hands sticking out of her sleeves were like dry branches.
"She should be the fortune teller of Tianyan Tower. I don't know why my husband would risk his life to rescue her from Tianyan Tower." Liang Ruyan said.
"Sister, should we take the person away together?" Xu Qianying asked.
"We must take the people with us, but how should we deal with them?" Liang Ruyan turned to look at Peng Xuanbo and asked, "General Peng, what do you think we should do?"
Peng Xuanbo pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take her away first. We'll make a decision after Shi Chen wakes up."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Liang Ruyan picked up the unconscious woman, put away Shi Chen's flying boat, and boarded the cross-sea flying boat with everyone else.
The flying boat sped away. Inside the cabin, Liang Ruyan and others took good care of Shi Chen.
Half a month later, the cross-sea flying boat was still sailing on the turbulent sea, but its goal at this time was not to reach the Yuanling Continent. It still had more than 30,000 miles to reach the Chiyan Continent.
Shi Chen slowly woke up and opened his eyes, his eyes still a little confused.
"Husband, you finally woke up!" Liang Ruyan cried with joy.
Shi Chen struggled to sit up, but was held down by Liang Ruyan.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't move around," Xu Qianying said.
Shi Chen took a breath and asked, "How is she?"
Everyone understood that he was referring to the unconscious woman. Liang Ruyan replied, "She hasn't woken up yet, but her breathing is relatively stable."
Shi Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
Liang Ruyan looked at Shi Chen's frown and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
She was wondering what kind of past this unconscious woman had with Shi Chen that would make him risk his life to save her.
But she tried hard to suppress the suspicion in her heart, telling herself that the most important thing at this moment was to take good care of Shi Chen, and wait until everything settled before figuring out the reason.
Xu Qianying watched silently from the side, feeling mixed emotions.
On the one hand, she felt sorry for the injuries Shi Chen suffered, and on the other hand, she was full of curiosity about the unconscious woman.
She secretly wondered about Shi Chen's feelings for the woman, worried that this would affect their relationship with Shi Chen, but she also felt that she shouldn't have such thoughts at this time, and she felt very conflicted.
After a while, Shi Chen came to his senses and found that they were both looking at him. He felt a little guilty. He knew that his actions made Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying worried and confused.
Shi Chen sighed softly and said with a guilty look, "Ruyan, Qianying, I made you worried. Where am I?"
Xu Qianying said with concern, "We are on a large sea-crossing flying boat, heading to the Red Flame Continent."
Liang Ruyan held Shi Chen's hand and said gently, "This is General Peng's cross-sea flying boat. It's going to the Chiyan Continent to participate in the Fire Tribe's unification ceremony."
"Oh, fortunately General Peng arrived in time." Shi Chen said with relief.
"Husband, why don't you explain to me, she is..." Xu Qianying pouted slightly, and said softly with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Shi Chen thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "She is Xu Qing. I can't just stand by and watch her die."
Liang Ruyan looked at Shi Chen gently and said, "My husband, I understand your character, but could you please tell us in detail the reason behind this?"
Shi Chen nodded and began to recount his past with Xu Qing. Xu Qianying listened attentively, the confusion in her heart gradually dissipating.
After listening to Shi Chen's story, Liang Ruyan frowned and said with sympathy, "She was so miserable. She was taken away by her family for marriage, and then imprisoned by Li Tianfeng. His limbs were cut off and his spiritual roots were severed."
"It's easy to recover the bones and muscles, but I don't know how to reconnect the spiritual roots. I used my spiritual power to probe her lifespan. If she takes good rest, she can only live for ten years at most. Alas!" Shi Chen said with a gloomy look on his face and sighed helplessly.
"Husband, is there really no way? She only has a few years to live. We must treat her well during the remaining time." Xu Qianying said with a worried look on her face, twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands.
"We will try our best to make her happy. If possible, I still want to help her reconnect her spiritual roots. Please ask Commander Peng and Huang Qi's siblings to come over. I want to ask them something." Shi Chen's expression was firm, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He held the edge of the bed with his hands and tried to sit up straight.
