LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 83: Fall of Emperor Xue Ye, Collapsed Xue Qinghe
Chapter 83: Fall of Emperor Xue Ye, Collapsed Xue Qinghe
"Heartbeat slowing down, weak breath—these are symptoms of severe injuries."
When Qin Xiao touched Xue Qinghe's wrist, he immediately sensed the severity of Xue Qinghe's condition.
It was worse than he had imagined.
Normally, with Xue Qinghe's strength, it shouldn't be like this.
But Xue Xing, that old fox, had launched a sudden attack and directly hit Xue Qinghe's vital points.
"Enduring such heavy injuries and holding on until now before collapsing, he's quite resilient."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but raise his opinion of Xue Qinghe a few notches.
However, now was not the time for hesitation. If he didn't start the treatment now, Xue Qinghe's life might be in danger.
Qin Xiao asked in a deep voice, "The Crown Prince is severely injured. Are there any Soul Masters capable of healing in the palace?"
"What!"
"The Crown Prince is critically injured?"
The crowd in the hall showed surprise and panic.
"Is there a healing Soul Master present?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked again in a stern voice.
At this moment, everyone recovered from the shock, but no one spoke.
"Your Majesty, within the Tian Dou Royal Academy, there is a powerful healing Soul Master who owns the Nine-Heart Begonia. Her healing abilities are unparalleled in the entire Tian Dou Empire."
Just as everyone was at a loss, Meng Shenji suddenly spoke up.
"Nine-Heart Begonia?"
Emperor Xue Ye's eyes lit up. "Quick, bring Miss Ye Lingling here. We must save Qinghe no matter what!"
His voice was filled with urgency.
"Yes."
Meng Shenji nodded heavily and was about to leave.
However, Qin Xiao stopped him, "It's too late. I will take the crown prince with me to the Tian Dou Royal Academy."
"Alright."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded deeply. "Mr. Qin, we'll trouble you."
Qin Xiao nodded and looked at Meng Shenji, "President Meng, I'll wait for you in front of the Tian Dou Royal Academy."
As the voice fell, Qin Xiao disappeared from the spot with Xue Qinghe.
Boom!
At this moment, a series of thunderous roars came from a distance.
"Gulu."
Marshal Go Long secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling horrified. "Is this the true strength of that Mr. Qin? Such terrifying speed."
Subconsciously, he fantasized about what would happen if Qin Xiao were to attack him...
The result made him shudder.
He admitted that it would be challenging to withstand even a single move from Qin Xiao.
Such a powerhouse was truly terrifying.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
After Meng Shenji and Qin Xiao left, Bai Baoshan rushed to Emperor Xue Ye's side, supporting him.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, General Go Long and others were also extremely nervous.
Emperor Xue Ye, with a pale face and dim eyes, seemed to have lost all his vitality.
"Cough, cough."
"Cough, cough, cough."
Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but cough.
Everyone watched with their hearts trembling, fearing that Emperor Xue Ye might not catch his breath and directly pass away.
Hoo.
After a long time, Emperor Xue Ye finally caught his breath. "It's okay, don't panic. As you can see, my time is running out."
"Your Majesty, don't say that."
"You will be fine."
Listening to everyone's words, Emperor Xue Ye suddenly smiled. "No need to console me. Today is my deadline."
"I have only one wish: I hope you can wholeheartedly assist Qinghe. He is a good child, and the future Tian Dou Empire will surely prosper under his hands."
"Yes!"
General Go Long, Bai Baoshan, and others were deeply moved.
Some even shed tears.
"Haha, good, good."
"The future of the Tian Dou Empire is entrusted to you."
"I have no regrets in this life."
Amidst the laughter and sighs, Emperor Xue Ye slowly closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
The crowd exclaimed.
"Yanzi, you disappeared for so many days. Where did you go?"
"There was no news at all, and I was really worried about you."
In the Tian Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan walked into a small training ground.
Several figures on the training ground looked at her. Among them, a tall youth in blue armor, the captain of the Tian Dou Royal Team, Yu Tianheng, showed concern.
He even wanted to step forward and give Dugu Yan a big hug.
But.
Dugu Yan stopped him, "Yu Tianheng, we are not that close. Even if you care about me, please maintain an appropriate distance between classmates."
"Huh?"
Yu Tianheng was stunned. "Yanzi, what do you mean by this?"
In his opinion, getting Dugu Yan was not far away. How did she suddenly distance herself?
Shaking her head, Dugu Yan said, "It's nothing. Just maintain the distance that classmates should have."
"Classmates?"
"I consider you my future girlfriend, and you treat me as a classmate?"
"I've been chasing you for so long. Do you really not have any feelings for me?"
Yu Tianheng's mentality instantly collapsed.
In his view, Dugu Yan had a favorable impression of him. Why did she suddenly become so distant?
On the other hand, a hint of awkwardness flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes.
Before, she did have a good impression of Yu Tianheng.
But unknowingly, she found another figure in her heart.
That person, young and handsome, powerful, and most importantly, he saved her and her grandfather's lives.
Simply perfect.
"To be honest, there's someone else in my heart now, and there's no room for you."
Dugu Yan decided to be straightforward.
What!
You have someone else!
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Yu Tianheng felt like he was struck by lightning.
Deng, deng, deng.
He stepped back several steps in a row. Fortunately, the two brothers of the Shi family supported him, or he might have retreated out of the training ground.
Yu Tianheng's mentality collapsed.
He didn't expect that his love affair, which seemed to be starting, would suddenly come to an end.
"Leader, condolences."
"Yeah, Yanzi doesn't like you, but there will be someone who does."
The Shi brothers tried to console him.
However, Yu Tianheng seemed to be dumb, completely unable to listen to anyone.
"Yanzi, why do I feel that you are different?"
Suddenly, in the corner of the training ground, an ethereal voice echoed.
Dugu Yan looked over, and in her line of sight was a girl dressed in black.
She had a slender figure, with a cascade of blue hair flowing down her back. A black veil covered most of her face, revealing only her deep blue eyes.
It must be said that these were beautiful eyes.
Watery, as if they could speak.
"Lingling, you are still so observant."
Dugu Yan looked at the girl and smiled slightly, "Let me tell you, I've had a breakthrough."
Breakthrough?
Hearing this, Ye Lingling showed a hint of joy, "So you are now a level 39 soul master like the captain?"
"Level 39, it seems that when the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament opens in two years, we will definitely have another Soul Ancestor-level powerhouse."
"Hehe, compared to the Soul Master Tournament, I'm more curious about who between Yanzi and the leader will become a Soul Ancestor first."
Yu Feng and Osro also approached, expressing their curiosity.
On the other hand, Dugu Yan's expression turned strange. She didn't mention that she had already reached the level of a Soul Ancestor.
Despite Qin Xiao only giving her half of the immortal grass, its effects were powerful enough.
It elevated her soul power by several levels.
In fact, she was not only a Soul Ancestor, but her soul power had also reached level 43.
Moreover.
Dugu Yan felt that in the near future, her strength would improve remarkably.
Two years later, she believed she would be a Soul King.
"Yanzi, do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
After listening to Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng's face showed a hint of surprise.
He felt he understood Dugu Yan's thoughts.
Dugu Yan fell silent; she didn't expect Yu Tianheng, usually a man of few words, to be quite imaginative.
"It seems I guessed right!"
Yu Tianheng understood, "Yanzi, do you think my talent and strength are not enough, and I am not worthy of you?"
"No, I don't, don't talk nonsense."
Dugu Yan kept shaking her head.
But Yu Tianheng didn't believe it at all; he said confidently, "Yanzi, how about we make a bet? Let's see who becomes a Soul Ancestor first. If I win, it proves my talent and strength, and you agree to be my girlfriend. If you win, I, Yu Tianheng, will stop bothering you from now on."
"Do you really want to do this?" Dugu Yan asked with a strange look.
"Of course, I have confidence in my abilities!"
Yu Tianheng nodded firmly and extended three fingers to Dugu Yan, "Three months, at most three months, I will definitely become a Soul Ancestor. It's impossible for you to surpass me."
Yanzi: (￣ω￣;).
She was really puzzled. She never thought Yu Tianheng was a confident person.
Three months?
Haha
In three months, I might be level 45.
"Okay."
"Even if it's death, I will let you die with understanding."
Dugu Yan nodded.
"Yanzi, did you agree? Did you really agree?"
Yu Tianheng was overjoyed, "Haha, good, let's wait and see."
He secretly vowed to seize this time and devote himself to training.
"No need to wait and see; we can determine the outcome now," Dugu Yan said lightly.
"Decide the outcome now?"
Yu Tianheng was stunned, "Yanzi, do you plan to admit defeat now? Is your previous action a test for me?"
His eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
Even a sudden sense of happiness.
"I'm begging you, don't overthink it."
Dugu Yan was out of strength to complain.
She felt it was better to prove herself with strength.
In the next moment, a powerful soul force erupted from her. Four soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, successively appeared.
The people present were instantly shocked.
"Hiss," the Shi brothers gasped for breath.
"Four soul rings, Yanzi has reached the level of Soul Ancestor?!" Yu Feng exclaimed in disbelief.
Osro vigorously nodded, "One, two, three, four. I counted again, that's right. It's four soul rings. Yanzi is a genuine Soul Ancestor, and this soul power fluctuation is not what a novice Soul Ancestor can bring."
"You, you, you."
On the other hand, Yu Tianheng was completely dumbfounded. He pointed at Dugu Yan, unable to find the right words.
He received the biggest blow.
Not only did he witness Dugu Yan's amazing cultivation, but he also lost the bet with her.
At this moment, his heart was in chaos, and it felt like a thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through his mind.
"Yanzi, how did you do it?"
Ye Lingling's blue eyes widened.
Even with her cold temperament, she was truly shocked.
"Even if I tell you, you probably won't believe it. I made a breakthrough after eating half a plant of medicine."
Dugu Yan spread her hands.
"Well, the way you put it, I really don't believe it."
Ye Lingling nodded without hesitation, agreeing with Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan: .
Does it have to be so straightforward?
But I'm telling the truth.
"Okay, then let me tell you. My grandfather refined a medicine for me, and after I took it, my strength increased significantly. Do you believe it now?"
Dugu Yan asked again.
"I believe!"
"That's more like it."
Not only did Ye Lingling nod, but the others also agreed with Dugu Yan's words.
Dugu Yan: ヘ(ｏ｀)ヘ.
She gave up.
No one believed the truth, but they readily accepted the fabricated nonsense.
Forget it.
Let them be.
Then, she looked at Yu Tianheng and asked, "Yu Tianheng, do you have anything else to say now?"
Yu Tianheng remained silent.
Dugu Yan sighed, "Yu Tianheng, I'll say it again, my decision to not be with you has nothing to do with strength or talent. I just don't like you, that's all."
"What kind of person do you like, then? Am I not good enough?" Yu Tianheng felt really desperate.
However.
Before Dugu Yan could say anything more, a voice suddenly sounded in the arena.
"It's just right that you are here!"
With the sound, a figure accompanied by a gust of wind appeared in the arena.
Everyone turned to look.
In the line of sight, it was none other than Meng Shenji.
At the same time, they noticed that there was also a handsome young man with sword-like
eyebrows and starry eyes beside Meng Shenji.
In his arms, he was holding someone.
When Dugu Yan's gaze fell on Qin Xiao, her eyes showed an uncontrollable surprise.
She never expected to see Qin Xiao here.
"How, how did you come here?"
She completely ignored Meng Shenji and asked Qin Xiao directly.
Because of excessive excitement, her words became a bit incoherent.
"There are some things that need to be dealt with."
Qin Xiao gave a brief answer.
This scene, however, was observed by Yu Tianheng by Dugu Yan's side.
He clenched his fists secretly, so hard that his fingernails embedded into the flesh.
However, he seemed to be oblivious to the pain.
"It's him, it must be him!"
"Dugu Yan must like him!"
Yu Tianheng believed in his judgment because he saw an unprecedented brilliance in Dugu Yan's eyes.
He once fervently hoped that Dugu Yan would look at him with such eyes.
Subconsciously, he looked at Qin Xiao again.
Suddenly, he felt unconvinced.
What does this person have?
Isn't he just a bit taller, a bit more handsome, and looks a bit younger than me?
Apart from these, what else does he have?
"Alright, Ye Lingling, stay. The rest of you can leave for now."
This process seemed lengthy, but in reality, it only took a few breaths.
When Chairman Meng's voice sounded in everyone's ears, their instinctive reaction was to comply.
Even though Dugu Yan's gaze towards Qin Xiao was full of reluctance.
But, her body still honestly left the scene.
And this scene was observed by Yu Tianheng.
He felt uncomfortable once again, feeling a pang in his heart!
"No, I must find this person later and ask him clearly about his background."
Yu Tianheng secretly made up his mind.
In no time.
Only Qin Xiao, Chairman Meng, Ye Lingling, and the unconscious Xue Qinghe remained in the field.
Ye Lingling looked calmly at everyone, sensing that she was likely needed to save someone.
"Your Highness, shall we begin?"
Chairman Meng turned around and respectfully asked Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao nodded faintly, "Let's begin."
Saying that, he bent down and gently placed Xue Qinghe on the ground.
Both of them felt it was nothing special.
On the other hand, Ye Lingling became uneasy.
What is going on?
Why did Chairman Meng call this young man something like "Your Highness"?
Could it be that this young man is a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level?
Ye Lingling found it hard to believe.
After all, Qin Xiao seemed too young. In the history of the Douluo Continent, there had never been such an outstanding genius.
But, Chairman Meng's expression and respectful attitude did not seem like an act.
Actually, it was normal for her not to recognize Qin Xiao.
Throughout Heaven Dou City, very few people had witnessed Qin Xiao in action. Even those who knew about his strength wouldn't openly spread the information.
After all, nobody knew the temperament of this Title Douluo-level powerhouse.
As for the earlier rumors about Qin Xiao, those who heard the news treated it as a joke.
While Ye Lingling was observing Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao couldn't help but take a closer look at Ye Lingling.
Undeniably, Ye Lingling gave off a special sense of mystery.
It made people can't help but want to explore the secrets within her.
"Ye Lingling, Ye Lingling."
At this moment, Chairman Meng called out to her, "Please give it your all to ensure the recovery of His Highness."
His Highness?!
Ye Lingling shivered once again. This was indeed a person of high status.
"Chairman Meng, rest assured. Ye Lingling will do her best!"
She said, cupping her hands together, and a beautiful Nine-Heart Begonia flower appeared in her palms.
At the same time, three soul rings in yellow, yellow, and purple emerged beneath her feet, almost lighting up simultaneously.
Circles of green light ripples spread out.
Enveloping Qin Xiao, Chairman Meng, and Xue Qinghe within.
This was Ye Lingling's soul skill, Healing!
Also, it was her only soul skill.
Under the green light, Qin Xiao felt like he was basking in sunlight, warm and comfortable.
On the side, Chairman Meng was already squinting his eyes, enjoying the moment.
During the defense of Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, he had suffered quite a few injuries, and now they were starting to heal.
Of course.
Among the people present, Xue Qinghe had the most significant response.
In just a moment, Qin Xiao noticed a hint of color returning to Xue Qinghe's pale face.
If you listened carefully, you could already hear Xue Qinghe's heavy breathing.
"Truly deserving of the world's number one healing martial soul, the Nine-Heart Begonia is indeed powerful."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but praise.
It had to be said that the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul had its merits.
After about half a minute.
Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled.
The continuous healing consumption was truly too great. Even though she gritted her teeth, she couldn't continue the healing.
Qin Xiao clearly saw the Nine-Heart Begonia in Ye Lingling's hands vanish with a bang.
"Chairman Meng, I did my best, but I still couldn't wake up His Highness."
Ye Lingling said, then pursed her lips tightly, staring at Xue Qinghe without saying a word.
"Even you can't save His Highness, is it a sign that our Heaven Dou Empire is doomed?"
Chairman Meng also felt quite hopeless.
"Don't be so desperate; it's not helpful."
"Besides, there might still be a chance to save Xue Qinghe."
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's voice sounded.
"Your Highness, are you saying..." Chairman Meng's eyes lit up.
Qin Xiao didn't answer but came to Xue Qinghe again, squatting down.
Electric sparks flickered on his palms.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Chairman Meng asked in confusion, feeling a bit anxious.
He had personally witnessed Qin Xiao crippling Xue Xing before, and a punch killed a Title Douluo-level powerhouse. Now, he was going to help the Crown Prince. Was it good?
"He has almost recovered from his injuries, but his heart rhythm is irregular. I will use the power of lightning to shock him and help him return to normal."
Qin Xiao saw Chairman Meng's concern and explained calmly.
"I see, Your Highness, please go ahead."
Chairman Meng said, somewhat relieved.
Qin Xiao began the rescue operation.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
His hands pressed on Xue Qinghe's chest again and again.
In just a moment, results appeared.
Xue Qinghe, lying on the ground, suddenly took a deep breath and woke up abruptly.
Then, he watched as Qin Xiao reached out his demonic hand and pressed it fiercely on his chest.
Immediately after,
A surge of electric current entered his body, making his whole body feel numb.
"What, what are you doing!"
With an unknown strength, Xue Qinghe did his best to let out a light cry.
In fact, after witnessing Qin Xiao's actions, his brain went blank for a moment.
Qin Xiao, how could he do such a thing?
How could he take advantage of someone's weakness?
"Your Highness, you're awake."
On the side, Chairman Meng, who was closely watching Xue Qinghe's movements, shouted excitedly, seeing Xue Qinghe regain vitality.
Wait a minute?
Chairman Meng is also here?
Xue Qinghe suddenly woke up and realized that things might not be as he had imagined.
"Chairman Meng, what exactly is going on?" He tentatively asked.
"Your Highness, it was Mr. Qin who saved you. If he hadn't taken action, we really wouldn't know how to awaken you."
Chairman Meng hurriedly explained.
He really saved me? Xue Qinghe was stunned, subconsciously looking towards Qin Xiao.
At this moment, Qin Xiao had already stood aside. Seeing Xue Qinghe
looking over, he said indifferently, "Since His Highness is no longer in danger, I will take my leave."
He's not angry, right? Xue Qinghe's heart trembled, quickly explaining, "Your Highness, just now, Qinghe was reckless. I didn't know Your Highness was rescuing me."
Saying this, Xue Qinghe felt his heart collapse.
He was being played.
Moreover, he had to apologize to the other party.
Where could he reason this out?
