“You won't intend to use the true element to help me detoxify, will you?” Seeing Ding Huan letting him sit down, with his hand pressing on the Du Yü acupoint at his back, Zhong Chi asked with some disbelief.
"You guessed right," Ding Huan replied, after which the Luo Shí Jīng had already begun its operation.
As soon as the true element entered Zhong Chi's meridians, it stirred the toxins in Zhong Chi's meridians.
Qí Xīnyuè on the side blushed slightly as she remembered how, during the time when Ding Huan treated her injuries, he had pressed on her Tian Tu acupoint. Now, however, it was the Du Yü acupoint.
You see, the Tian Tu acupoint is located at the junction of your neck and chest. Ah, I suppose my condition was more urgent at that time.
Ding Huan would have been wronged if he knew Qí Xīnyuè's thoughts.
Zhong Chi is poisoned in his meridians, so that's why he started from the Du Yü acupoint.
Another reason is that, after treating Qí Xīnyuè, he has gained his own understanding of healing.
Even now, helping Qí Xīnyuè recover does not necessarily have to start from the Tian Tu acupoint.
Hearing Ding Huan say he was right, Zhong Chi sighed in his heart, thinking, "So young, youth is the audacity of ignorance."
Regretfully, Ding Huan has now started to detoxify him, and he cannot stop forcefully.
If by using the method of circulation from the meridians and heavenly cycle, he can eliminate the toxins in his meridians, then he does not have much to worry about with his poison.
Similarly, he doesn't need anyone's help either; he can himself practice the exercises to expel the toxins.
Now, what he is concerned about is that the toxins in his body might spread to Ding Huan's meridians.
Once Ding Huan is also poisoned, then he would be the criminal.
After the first heavenly cycle passed, Zhong Chi was completely taken aback. He clearly felt the toxins in his meridians decreasing rapidly.
Is it removing the toxins in his body?
But Zhong Chi had no joy at all. He was even somewhat nervous and uneasy.
He didn't want to be saved while Ding Huan was poisoned.
However, now he cannot stop. Otherwise, not only him but also Ding Huan will be affected.
The toxins in Zhong Chi's body are indeed fierce, but for Ding Huan, it's just that.
His detoxification gene is not one to be trifled with. As his cultivation improves, so does his ability to detoxify.
That's the difference between his gene-based detoxification medicine and others. While pulling the toxins in Zhong Chi's meridians, Ding Huan himself completely detoxifies the poison.
It only took twenty minutes for Ding Huan to take his hand back.
" Ding Huan, are you all right?" Zhong Chi's first instinct was to turn around and ask about Ding Huan's condition.
Ding Huan had to say, "You should ask yourself what you should do, I am the doctor."
"I'm fine now, and my condition is not known to be good. I am worried about you..."
Zhong Chi's words trailed off as he saw Ding Huan casually lift a hand, "Do you see me as someone poisoned?"
"Wow, that's really impressive..." Zhong Chi couldn't help but say a sentence of admiration after confirming that Ding Huan was truly not poisoned.
He had previously seen Ding Huan walk in the sea with the help of a log, and he admired Ding Huan, but also thought it was normal.
Now, seeing Ding Huan easily expel the poison from his body that was fundamentally unresolvable, that was truly what he admired.
He had previously been certain that no one on Earth could solve the poison in his body, but unexpectedly, Ding Huan managed to do it in a short while.
"Nothing wrong, let's go," Ding Huan packed the bag on his back and held the knife in his hand.
On the way back, he could only rely on his senses, because he didn't know which direction led to the nearest coast.
Seeing Ding Huan pick up his backpack, Qí Xīnyuè couldn't help but criticize herself. She had thought that Ding Huan had left when she saw him packing his bag.
"All right." Zhong Chi was in high spirits, the poison gone from his body, he no longer feared Shi Changyi.
As a fellow innate expert, he had confidence in defeating Shi Changyi.
"Old Zhong, you said Shi Changyi is from the Gene Alliance, why should he cultivate martial arts?" Ding Huan's question made Zhong Chi pause.
Zhong Chi quickly recovered and said with disdain, "That guy thinks he has great talent, so he not only cultivates martial arts but also gene cultivation methods."
"That makes sense," Ding Huan nodded, which was why Antonio not only cultivated martial arts but also genes.
The three of them arrived at the edge of the reef island. Ding Huan swept his hand, pulling Qí Xīnyuè off her feet and landing on the log beside him.
Zhong Chi's figure flashed, his movements light and elegant as he landed on the log, like flying across.
"We're leaving," Ding Huan activated his true element, and the log left the reef island.
Dozens of sword-back fish spat out arrowbeams, and Zhong Chi's short sword flew out. In an instant, he sliced through the dozen beams with his blade.
That short sword seemed to have eyes, flying back into his hand after tearing through the arrowbeams as if it had a mind of its own.
Ding Huan, however, lifted his hand and shot out dozens of wind blades, killing all the sword-back fish.
One defended against the sneak attack of the sword-back fish, and the other killed them; their offense and defense were just right.
"Good technique." Seeing Ding Huan use his true element to form blades, Zhong Chi couldn't help but exclaim again.
He could also condense his true element into blade-like energy, but it was nowhere near as free and relaxed as Ding Huan's, and his accuracy in killing the sword-back fish wasn't as precise.
With Zhong Chi's addition, Ding Huan felt much more at ease.
He didn't even need to defend against attacks on the path. Whether it was the fish attacking the log in the sea, or the fish with arrowbeams spraying out, he had no concerns.
Any attacks aimed at them were almost all blocked by Zhong Chi.
Some were killed by Zhong Chi, while others were killed by Ding Huan.
Ding Huan has a spiritual sense. Although he was chased by the sword-back fish and lost his direction, he still had some basic concepts.
Just half a day later, he found the correct direction, and the log beneath his feet accelerated its speed.
An hour later, Ding Huan saw the land.
"Ha ha, I didn't expect that I, Zhong Chi, would have another chance to return to land." Zhong Chi also saw the land and burst out laughing.
Ding Huan was even faster; it only took a few minutes for the log to reach the edge. At the same time, Ding Huan swept his hand, and he and Qí Xīnyuè landed on the ground together.
Zhong Chi was like a goose, flying up from the log and landing lightly on the ground.
"Look out." Ding Huan suddenly shouted, and at the same time, his Starry Sky Knife sliced out.
"Crack!" The Starry Sky Knife seemed to collide with a piece of steel, and the powerful rebounding force threw Ding Huan outwards.
Qí Xīnyuè saw the situation and quickly went to help Ding Huan up.
Ding Huan was terrified in his heart, what is this existence?
He was sure about the ferocious beast he had fought with, no, that couldn't have been a ferocious beast. It was definitely a demonic beast. A demonic beast beyond the level of nine-grade ferocious beasts.
Zhong Chi also realized this and, before the demonic beast could chase after Ding Huan, his short knife had already turned into a beam of knife-light and struck towards it.
The short knife in Zhong Chi's hand was only half a meter long, but when he swung it, it produced a blade aura that extended several meters.
Boom! Zhong Chi was better off than Ding Huan but was still thrown back by the immense force. He stood beside Ding Huan, cornered, and stared at the creatures that had ambushed them.
This was actually a dragon. The dragon's body was nearly thirty meters long, and on its head, there was still a blood hole that had not fully recovered.
"Original sin, this beast." Ding Huan understood, he was sure that this demonic dragon was the culprit behind the global explosion of ferocious beasts.
In fact, Ding Huan had really wronged this dragon. The dragon was merely used by the giant gorilla under its name. The outbreak of the ferocious beasts was not initiated by it at all.
Seeing that they fought themselves, Ding Huan and Zhong Chi were both unharmed. The demonic dragon let out a fierce roar.
"Ding Huan, this dragon is severely injured. Let's work together to face it. It should be possible." Zhong Chi wasn't the best in the workplace, but he was clear about combat issues.
"All right," Ding Huan agreed with his mouth, but in his heart, he was thinking that when Zhong Chi fought with the demonic dragon, he would attack from the side.
As Zhong Chi said, if the demonic dragon wasn't injured, it would be more than enough for the two Ding Huan and him to face.
The strength of this demonic beast is likely close to the foundation realm.
Ding Huan was relieved that while they were at sea, the demonic dragon had not been able to detect them in time.
If they had been discovered by the demonic dragon while at sea, they would really be dead.
Zhong Chi looked scholarly and acted like a maniac when he fought. He seized his short knife, leapt into the air, and then swung down at the dragon's head with a single slash.
Despite standing opposite each other, Ding Huan could still feel Zhong Chi's pressure from the space.
Ding Huan charged forward as well, his Starry Sky Knife slicing at the demonic dragon's body.
Unlike Zhong Chi, who threw all his strength into his attack, Ding Huan's slash was only at five tenths of his power. It was a feint, ready to be withdrawn at any moment.
Ding Huan knew in his heart that his wind blade technique against this demonic dragon might be as effective as scratching an itch.
Even if he advanced to the fifth-level gene cultivator, wind blade technique is such a small spell that it's not even worth looking at in the eyes of this demonic dragon.
Ding Huan thought, if the demonic dragon were to defend against his Starry Sky Knife, he would gather hundreds of wind blade techniques to attack the demonic dragon's wounded spot.
The head of the demonic dragon had been blasted open by some weapon, and the red-brown blood continued to flow. Ding Huan knew that the beast was still far from recovery.
This creature, upon seeing itself landing on the shore, even abandoned its attempt to heal.
Since so, it's necessary for this demonic dragon to understand why the flowers are so red.
Boom! The ferocious power of the demonic dragon and Zhong Chi's blade aura collided. Zhong Chi's blade aura was strong, but it was far from a match for the demonic dragon.
The blade aura dissipated instantly, and the terrifying power rolled towards Zhong Chi, who was knocked over in the air for a dozen somersaults before being thrown back.
At the same time, the demonic dragon's claws swung at Ding Huan's Starry Sky Knife. Clearly, the demonic dragon knew that Ding Huan's sword was not ordinary.
But Ding Huan's killer move was not the sword, so his strike was slow.
Before the demonic dragon's claws could reach Ding Huan's sword, the hundreds of compressed blade auras had all struck the wound on the demonic dragon's head.
Clearly, the demonic dragon did not expect Ding Huan to have such invisible blade auras, and Ding Huan's invisible blade auras were much stronger than the ones it had seen before, being on a completely different level.
The wound on its head had not yet healed, and with the continuous hits from the invisible blade auras, it was instantly torn open.
The demonic dragon roared in anger, about to endure the pain and charge towards Ding Huan, but then a fireball exploded at the wound on its head.
The demonic dragon let out a painful scream, turned and charged into the sea, disappearing instantly.
(That's it for today's update. Good night, everyone!)
