Chapter 1612 - 1609: Xu Wendong Is Injured

The maid’s figure was like a streak of black lightning.

Her speed was extreme, with spiritual power surging around her, showcasing the immense strength that had already reached the Immortal King Realm.

Her originally delicate palm, infused with spiritual power, seemed to be covered in a layer of eerie light.

Exuding an overwhelming aura that could tear apart the heavens and earth, akin to the claw of an Ancient Fierce Beast, the target clear as she sprang directly towards Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong was already at the end of his strength.

Previously, he had been severely wounded and near death, as if torn by the violent spiritual power from Blood Princess that resembled a savage beast.

The meridians in his body seemed shredded and broken by thousands of steel knives.

His internal organs were severely damaged, barely hanging on to life.

Though he possesses the Wood Element Path, the injuries have yet to be healed.

At this moment, he was unable to resist the enemy’s offensive.

"Boom!"

A muffled, thunderous sound echoes like lightning in the tranquil bamboo house.

Xu Wendong’s entire being was struck forcefully by an invisible, violent force, like a kite with broken strings, tracing a forlorn arc in the air as he uncontrollably fell backwards.

Blood poured from his mouth like a gushing fountain, splattering the ground in a vivid red that was glaringly bright, his face pale as paper, his body limp and powerless, presenting a pitiful and tragic sight one couldn’t bear to look at.

"Stop!"

Blood Princess witnessed the scene, her heart ached with anxiety, her beautiful eyes instantly ignited with flames of urgency and anger. Her delicate hand swept furiously, a ribbon of blood-red spiritual power like an enraged Flood Dragon, roaring in the wind, with tremendous force, crashing towards the maid.

The maid felt an overwhelming force resembling a tidal wave rushing at her.

Her figure paused abruptly, the advancing assault seemed to hit a wall of copper, instantly obstructed, her face a mixture of shock and confusion.

Her gaze anxiously turned to Blood Princess, trembling as she asked, "Princess, this... this dissolute person was clearly being impudent with you, why do you protect him?"

Blood Princess disregarded her turbulent aura, ignored her disheveled robes and loose hair, hurriedly got up, her steps staggered but determined as she stood in front of Xu Wendong. Her expression was solemn and earnest, her voice urgent and sincere, "You misunderstood, he was saving my life!"

"Earlier, during my breakthrough, I accidentally deviated, my meridians completely severed, I was close to dying. Young Master Xu, disregarding his own safety, stepped forward and rescued me through dual cultivation."

"If it weren’t for his selfless, resolute rescue, I would have already passed away, turned into a vengeful spirit!"

The maid was thunderstruck by these words, as if awoken from a dream, the anger and shock on her face instantly transformed into guilt, her gaze towards Xu Wendong full of apology and reverence, her eyes reddening, her voice slightly choked, "Young Master Xu, it was my reckless actions that falsely accused you. I... I deserve death, please punish me."

Xu Wendong smiled bitterly, that smile full of weakness and helplessness, struggling to support his faltering body, like a candle in the wind, he raised his hand slightly to motion that it’s alright, weakly saying, "The young lady was just protecting her master, it’s understandable, I don’t blame you, just... cough cough..."

Before he could finish, a mouthful of reverse blood spurted uncontrollably like a surge of tide, instantly staining the ground before him red, his body softened, and he fell straight to the ground, hovering on the brink of life and death.

Blood Princess’s face changed dramatically, as if shrouded by frost, all pale, she hurriedly stooped to support Xu Wendong.

Her beautiful eyes full of worry and panic, her jade hands trembling as she checked his pulse.

Xu Wendong’s pulse was weak like a thread, chaotic and unstable, the spiritual power within him was like a candle flickering in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment.

Her heart burned with urgency, disregarding everything else, she shouted to the maid, "Quickly, fetch the Holy Medicine for healing, hurry! Not a moment to spare!"

At this moment, several elderly figures quietly appeared inside the bamboo house like phantoms.

Leading them was the Blood Clan Leader, Xue Tu, his expression stern, yet with a hint of complex emotion as he swept his gaze over everyone inside the room.

"Father, how did you all come?" Blood Princess was full of surprise, her beautiful eyes wide open, not expecting them to appear so abruptly in her dwelling, her voice fraught with confusion and astonishment.

An Elder’s gaze fell on the dying Xu Wendong, scrutinizing intently, he couldn’t help but sigh emotionally, "This young man’s Dao Foundation is damaged, it’s really difficult, with our clan’s ordinary Holy Medicine, it’s unlikely to heal such injuries."

"What? He actually has a Dao Foundation?"

Blood Princess’s pupils constricted at the words, her heart flooded with shockwaves.

Firstly, she truly hadn’t expected that Xu Wendong, a mere mortal, even possessing the Ancient Sacred Body, could comprehend the Dao Foundation Divine Skills that only Divine beings could reach.

Secondly, she hadn’t anticipated that his Dao Foundation was now damaged, threatening his life.

All at once, her beautiful eyes were filled with deep concern and worry, her gaze fixed on Xu Wendong as if trying to transfer her own life force to him.

Xue Tu sighed softly, his eyes complex, looking deeply at Blood Princess, he said in a quiet voice, "Silly girl, if not for this young man’s Dao Foundation, how could your grievous injuries recover so easily?"

"Did you truly think that I wouldn’t know about your deviation?"

In fact, from the moment Blood Princess faced the crisis during breakthrough and begun her deviation, these old fellows had already sensed everything that happened here with their profound cultivation and keen perception.

However, before they could act or offer aid, Xu Wendong decisively stepped forward, initiated dual cultivation with Blood Princess, saving her life.

Although Blood Princess’s injuries have now recovered, it’s truly worrying that Xu Wendong ended up with a damaged Dao Foundation on the verge of death.

"Father, do you have any means to save him?"

Blood Princess’s eyes welled with tears, shimmering as she implored and hurriedly spoke, "Young Master Xu suffered this peril to save me, I cannot bear for him to have any mishap!"

Upon hearing her words, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions filled with hesitation and difficulty.

To them, although Xu Wendong’s damaged Dao Foundation is troublesome, it’s not entirely impossible to heal.

However.

The treatment would involve violating the Blood Clan’s millennia-old ancestral injunctions, a deed not taken lightly, it would surely stir up huge waves.

"Take him to the Blood Pool!"

Xue Tu finally let out a helpless sigh, that sigh full of struggle and concession.

As the Blood Clan Leader, he was naturally aware of the severity of the ancestral commandments, unwilling to defy them easily, yet how could he bear watching Xu Wendong, who saved his daughter, perish in the Netherworld?

After all, the Blood Clan has always valued gratitude and reciprocity.

If he turned a blind eye to Xu Wendong’s peril, even he would despise himself.

Although allowing Xu Wendong into the Blood Pool violated the ancestral commandments, he believed that if the ancestors of the Blood Clan were aware of what transpired today, they would surely forgive him!
