Chapter 542: Chapter Three Hundred Fifty-Eight: Suppression
Now, the Supreme Ancestor of the Mi Clan had completely lost his human form, instead he looked more like a tree demon, with a high wooden body about ten meters away, and thick limbs like colossal pillars. At the ends of these limbs, numerous creeping roots faded from green to red, they were extraordinarily vibrant.
After a few unexpected twists, despite merely attempting to kill a martial fighter who had transcended mortality, this led Mi Yang to a lot of complications. Now, he had completely lost his sanity, charging towards the crowd.
The enraged Mi Yang no longer cared about recruitment, all he wanted was to eliminate everyone in sight, to vent his fury.
As the three armoured warriors of the Du Clan were about to raise a crystal barrier for defense, they heard a thunderous explosion echoing throughout the valley coming from afar.
A Qi umbrella fell from the sky, right onto the demon tree. Its mighty force caused all of the west-side humps to shake violently, causing the famously durable Red Cloud crystal surface to shatter like glass. The whole hump dips into a large hole with the demon tree at its center, sending the crystal sand dust up into the sky, blurring everyone’s vision.
“Well, you guys don’t need to deal with Mi Yang anymore,” Tang Luo’s voice faintly echoed, “Elder Du Ting, hurry over there and bring Martial Ancestor Tang Qian here to be healed. Everyone else, come with me and see how many people were injured within the Thousand Azure Wood Realm.
Before he’s even finished speaking, violent explosions began to rock the dusty center of the disturbance, like two million-pound hammers clashing together. Each resulting tremor caused the earth to quake. It seems that the Qi umbrella just now was support from the Tang Clan, now clashing with Mi Yang. Do they really not need additional support?
Du Ting and the others turned back, their eyes full of questions.
“No need. Although Mi Yang is badly wounded and can only use his Dharma Body to confront his enemy, the defensive power of the demon tree is just too strong. You will hardly be able to hurt it,” with all the dust and smoke, Tang Luo’s vision remained unimpaired, for he could estimate the situation of the fight through the changing positions of the two numbers. Since it was confirmed that his father, Tang Sen, had definitely taken the upper hand, there was no need to add more support. Most of the time, inefficient teammates could easily ruin the advantage that was so hard to establish. So it would be better to do what’s necessary.
The intense fight over the past hour seemed to last for days. Tang Qian and Du Sha were severely injured, three elders from the Du Clan were slightly injured, and he even lost one thousand units of spiritual power. If it hadn’t been for his father Tang Sen’s arrival, they would be absolutely unable to handle Mi Yang who had summoned his Dharma Body into the fight, and they might have had to flee in the end.
This was the first time Tang Luo felt utterly powerless. If not for the protection of several warriors from the Fierce Realm, he might have had to pay a great price to escape. What saddened him the most was that a large number of his followers were severely injured.
When the Nine Extreme Solar Strikes hit the Thousand Azure Wood Realm, the massive explosions not only destroyed the boundary but also affected those warriors hiding far away.
These warriors, whose highest cultivation was only at Transcend Mortality and lowest was at the Mortal Realm, were utterly incapable of maintaining their stealth under such powerful explosions. The toxicity of the Thousand Azure Wood Realm was most intense before its destruction, so after the realm’s breakdown, Tang Luo heard many screams of agony, all from his followers nearby.
Tang Luo turned his head to look at his warriors who were now devoid of any pomp, almost all of them sat amongst the mud filled with dismembered limbs, quite a few of them were even lying on the ground with difficulty in breathing, just like deflated bellows.
Those with the most severe injuries had been completely crystalized. The numbers atop many of the followers’ heads were now reduced to zero, only a few still had numbers remaining. The situation was incredibly urgent.
Ignoring the continuous explosions behind him, Tang Luo instructed the two elders of the Du Clan beside him, “You two start to transport those lightly injured followers back to the middle peak for treatment. I’ll handle those who are heavily injured and crystalized.”
Du Wei felt the earth trembling and his heart was still concerned about the warriors who had come to provide support. He couldn’t help but glance back and hesitated, “Although the Tang Clan has sent support, there should still be some guards around the prodigy. Why don’t Elder Ling take the lightly injured warriors back to the middle peak, so I can stay here to coordinate. What does the prodigy think about this?”
“Then I’ll have to trouble Elder Du Wei.” Tang Luo replied casually. Then he quickly walked into the formation where his followers were, heading straight towards Shen Dafa, who had lost consciousness.
When it came to saving people, priorities had to be made. For him, it’s definitely those with higher cultivation first, followed by those with lower. Among those rescued, even though Shen Dafa was not from of his group, he was a formidable individual that Tang Luo had long decided to recruit. So despite him disobeying his orders repeatedly, Tang Luo still had to save him.
Right now, the boss Shen Dafa who had led people here to support them, no longer had the vigor of being a martial artist at the peak of Transcend Mortality. His spiritual armor shattered, his limbs twisted unnaturally, barely breathing, only his sturdy body helped him to resist the impact of the Wood-Type Azure Dragon. Otherwise, not only his spiritual armor, but also his body would have been torn apart.
That was just the physical injuries. Then came the arrival of the Thousand Azure Wood Realm. Since Shen Dafa had fainted, he had naturally missed the chance to use the Turtle Breathing Technique, causing him to inhale a large amount of Wood Poison Qi, making his entire face turn a sickly blue, bearing the likeness of a corpse.
If it was in the past, Tang Luo would only be able to infuse a large amount of Innate Qi to solve the problem. But after his last failed operation, he had supplemented a lot of medical classics. They contain countless uses for Innate Qi that doctors had summarized. Now, facing such a complicated situation, he wasn’t as panicked as before.
He employed just a trace of Innate Qi to purge the toxic qi from Shen Dafa’s organs, stabilizing his Qi meridians in the process. Then Tang Luo quickly moved on to the next injured, his Genshi Innate Qi was circulating endlessly within his organs. But if he had to use all of his strength to save each one, he might only be able to heal a little over ten people. Yet, there were more than a hundred casualties present, so he could only use conservative treatment, just stabilizing their lives as a top priority, in order to save as many people as possible.
So Tang Luo quickly moved through the crowd, slapping a palm on the forehead or heart of each severely injured soldier. From afar, it didn’t look like he was saving people, but more like delivering finishing blows.
However, every casualty who had been touched by Tang Luo’s palm, regardless of the severity of their injuries, their breathing became steady afterwards. Even those whose bodies had started to crystalize began to gradually recover.
Tang Luo carried out the rescue work quickly and efficiently, it was like a miracle.
As Tang Luo arrived at the last of the crowd of followers, he suddenly stopped. Firstly, he had almost finished the rescue work, secondly, he was surprised to find the Fang brothers at the end of the support squad.
When the attack came suddenly before, he saw that large bear-like Fang Xiong picked up his brother Fang Yuan and ran till he disappeared. Looking at the direction, they should have headed east and should not have encountered this support squad. How could these two appear at the end of the support formation, that was really strange.
“You guys didn’t run away?” Tang Luo asked Fang Yuan who was being crushed under Fang Xiong. His voice filled with curiosity.
