Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1290 - 1288: Saving Lives for the Beings of the Sumeru Continent
Everyone was scared out of their wits!
They were dumbfounded.
There was a deathly silence.
The Xuanyuan Sword in Lin Fan’s hand had unexpectedly pierced through Zhu Qilue’s body, with fresh blood gushing from the wound. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, staring blankly at the scene before them.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. If someone had told them this, they would have thought that person was crazy.
Only a madman would believe that someone from the Five Elements Realm could be injured by Lin Fan.
However.
At this moment, everyone became a madman.
"How... how is it possible?!"
"Zhu Qilue is injured!"
"Absolutely crazy, what kind of monster is Lin Fan, exactly."
"Being able to defeat someone from the Five Elements Realm... this indicates that Lin Fan’s cultivation realm has reached an immeasurable level, far beyond just being a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor."
The crowd suddenly exploded, wide-eyed, holding their heads in astonishment. The plaza was filled with discussions as everyone tried to confirm whether what they were witnessing was real.
In people’s understanding, the Five Elements Realm was an unrivaled existence.
If people from there came to the Sumeru Continent, it would be a dimensional blow; in the eyes of the Five Elements Realm, they were like a large nest of ants, utterly powerless if those people chose to attack.
Therefore.
The people from the Five Elements Realm generally didn’t wish to bother with those from the Sumeru Continent, and the people of Sumeru Continent knew better than to provoke them.
Both had lived peacefully alongside each other for years.
The Five Elements Realm hadn’t destroyed the Sumeru Continent, and the Sumeru Continent hadn’t provoked the Five Elements Realm.
However.
The peaceful state between the two is likely about to be broken.
Because.
Zhu Qilue was defeated by Lin Fan! And he was injured and bled!
Originally, they thought Lin Fan would definitely die at the hands of Zhu Qilue, so they were just watching as onlookers. If Lin Fan died, the Xuan Clan might be sad, but it wouldn’t matter much to them.
But, unexpectedly, the situation reversed; Zhu Qilue was seriously injured. This was disastrous. He was the young noble of the Fire Clan from the Five Elements Realm. If the Fire Clan decided to take their anger out on the Sumeru Continent, the entire continent would be defenseless and face utter destruction!
At this thought, everyone gasped sharply, their mouths agape in fear, staring blankly at Lin Fan.
Terror.
Anger.
Panic.
Fear.
In an instant, the situation changed drastically. What began as a spectacle had suddenly become something that affected everyone.
Lin Fan, however, was quite composed, waving the Xuanyuan Sword, letting the blood on the blade drip to the ground.
"I warned you earlier, not to block my way. I have to save someone, and no one can stop me, especially since it’s an important person to me. Naturally, I wouldn’t flee from a fight, and neither would I abandon my duty. After I’ve saved the person, I will return. But you kept obstructing me, so I had to act."
Zhu Qilue wobbled, his legs weakening. He hastily held the hole in his abdomen, attempting to stop the blood, but it was futile. He felt his body growing colder, unable to sustain himself standing.
His face turned deathly pale; he had been duped by a young lad from the Sumeru Continent.
He had disgraced the Five Elements Realm.
"You... you actually..."
Just as he began to speak, Zhu Qilue’s vision went black, and he collapsed to the side.
Lin Fan quickly reacted, rushing forward to catch Zhu Qilue’s arm, preventing a humiliating fall to the ground.
"I was compelled to do so, with no intent to harm. But I indeed have urgent matters; once resolved, we can settle this score."
Zhu Qilue was both angry and amused, shaking his head in helplessness. What was he talking about? He was gravely injured, unsure if he’d make it back to the Five Elements Realm alive, and this guy was still thinking about a rematch while he could hardly stand, lacking any strength to fight Lin Fan.
He was about to speak when he felt a warm current flowing through him, easing much of the pain and clearing his blurred vision.
Shocked, he looked at Lin Fan in confusion. This guy was saving him?! Truly insane, injuring him and then saving him; did he not know that once he recovered, Lin Fan would be doomed?
The Five Elements Realm would never allow an ant to rise above them.
"You... are...?"
Just three words in, Zhu Qilue noticed Lin Fan slicing his hand on the sword’s edge, blood pouring out. He widened his eyes, his voice rising in surprise.
"What are you doing?!"
Lin Fan didn’t utter a word, his brow twitching, as he pressed his palm against Zhu Qilue’s abdomen, squeezing hard.
A drop of sparkling blood fell into the wound.
"My blood has healing properties; it should speed up your recovery."
Zhu Qilue immediately felt a tearing pain in his abdomen, suspecting Lin Fan was deceiving him. But upon looking down, he saw the wound slowly healing.
"What... what do you want? Why save me?"
"For the life of the Sumeru Continent." Lin Fan stared intently into Zhu Qilue’s eyes. He understood the implications of Zhu Qilue’s injury—likely inciting fierce retaliation from the Five Elements Realm. Furthermore, he held no deep-seated grudge against Zhu Qilue, so there was no need to sacrifice a life.
Zhu Qilue felt as if a fist had struck his chest, leaving him breathless and stunned.
"You..."
Before he could finish, the surrounding crowd started to stir fearfully, enraged. They pointed at Lin Fan, eyes bloodshot and faces twisted.
"Lin Fan! Are you courting death by daring to harm someone from the Five Elements Realm?!"
"You’d be better off dead; you’re jeopardizing the entire Sumeru Continent!"
"Don’t think of fleeing; this is your responsibility!"
"You should surrender willingly, or the entire Sumeru Continent, including the Xuan Clan, will perish."
Though the crowd wasn’t aiming their fury at him, Zhu Qilue felt an overwhelming pressure, his scalp prickling.
Lin Fan seemed unfazed by the uproar, ignoring their barking. He glanced into the distance, asking softly, "Can you stand on your own?"
"Uh..."
"I’ll let you sit, then." said Lin Fan, helping Zhu Qilue sit down. "I need to leave first and resolve some matters before returning."
With those words, he turned and walked away without looking back.
The onlookers, seeing Lin Fan trying to leave, surged forward, surrounding him.
"Where are you going?! Are you trying to escape?!"
"Don’t let him get away; stop him!"
"He’s the culprit; offering him to the Five Elements Realm will ensure our safety."
"Right, don’t let him go; capture him."
Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly. These buzzing idiots were of no concern. With a flick of his wrist, the Xuanyuan Sword emitted a dragon’s roar, shining with a brilliant golden light.
The rash crowd rushed forward but didn’t expect Lin Fan to genuinely confront millions, scattering away in fright.
"Ants."
Lin Fan sneered, cursing as he lifted his leg to walk forward.
