The Hongying sisters, their hearts still filled with worry, rushed over and brought Xiang Jun back.
After a thorough check, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his injuries looked terrifying, they weren't actually that serious.
He had just fallen unconscious.
They could even hear him softly snoring…
It made sense, though.
When Shanjī had been injured before, he had woken up not long after.
As fellow subordinates of Elder Ye, Xiang Jun shouldn't be any weaker.
Soon, the sisters were captivated by Xiang Jun’s wounds.
The injuries were indeed quite frightening to behold.
The flesh and bone on his chest were practically gone, his internal organs exposed for all to see.
Large patches of charring were visible around the internal organs and wounds, emitting a faint burnt smell.
Miraculously, large swathes of green light emerged around the wound.
There was no need to even feel it.
Just looking at the green light sent a wave of comfort through the sisters!
They felt as if their bodies had instantly returned to their peak condition, every pore feeling refreshed!
This sensation brought them back to that night…
“No wonder it felt so good then…”
“So Brother Jiao’s whole body was like this green color, I thought it was only…”
As if realizing they had spoken out of turn, the sisters quickly fell silent.
However, the awkwardness lasted only a moment, and soon they were once again staring intently.
Ye Fan had absolutely no desire to comment on this.
Having spent so much time with the Little Demoness, a seasoned veteran, he was long accustomed to such things…
Bathed in the green light, Xiang Jun's injuries healed at an astonishing rate.
The damaged internal organs were rapidly repaired, and the charred parts regained their original color.
Bone and flesh regenerated, and skin covered them…
Finally, apart from his torn clothes, Xiang Jun looked no different from when he was unharmed.
There wasn't even a scar left!
It appeared similar to Ye Fan's previous injury recovery, but noticeably faster!
The entire process took less than ten seconds!
“Ye, Elder Ye…” Hongying stammered, wide-eyed, “Brother Jiao, his recovery ability is that terrifying? Doesn't that mean… he's practically immortal?”
“Mm,” Ye Fan nodded, “You could interpret it that way.”
The sisters instantly became excited!
It was a matter of great pride to have such an impressive man.
“Ah, right!” Lüyīng seemed to recall something, “Elder Ye, is Brother Jiao’s monstrous recovery ability all-encompassing?”
Ye Fan blinked in confusion, not quite understanding.
If Lüyīng had asked if it was throughout his body, he would have understood.
But what on earth did she mean by “all-encompassing”?
“Oh, come on…” Lüyīng said sheepishly, “I mean, that… that thing…”
As she spoke, her gaze drifted towards a certain area on Xiang Jun’s body.
Ye Fan: …
“How would I know about something like that? You two should know better than I do!”
Dammit, you imbeciles!
If you ask such questions, it’s easy for people to misunderstand me!
“Holy crap!”
Shanjī yelped, his eyes filled with envy…
Meanwhile.
Ling Hefan had not flown far when he discovered the Little Demoness pursuing him from behind.
Damn it!
I’ve been so cowardly, why are you still chasing me?
What kind of deep-seated hatred is this?
The Little Demoness behind him was also bewildered.
Despite her cultivation vastly surpassing Ling Hefan’s, Ling Hefan’s speed was making it difficult for her to catch up.
Why was this guy running so fast?!
Thinking of this, the Little Demoness dropped her playful demeanor.
With a swift movement, she accelerated!
After all, the gap in their cultivation levels was undeniable.
With her full power unleashed, the Little Demoness's speed was no longer something Ling Hefan could match.
In less than a blink of an eye, she was right behind him!
Let’s see where you run now!
The Little Demoness immediately raised her hand and shot a dark energy blast at Ling Hefan!
Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuation behind him, Ling Hefan nearly wet himself!
He had initially thought his two bald friends were not weak, which was why he had decisively fled.
But he had never expected this woman to be so incredibly powerful!
Just feeling the energy fluctuation from afar made him feel like he was on the verge of death!
Ling Hefan gritted his teeth and pulled a jade pendant from his ring, throwing it out!
A flicker of pain crossed his face as he threw it, indicating its precious nature.
As the jade pendant flew out, it emitted a protective shield that enveloped Ling Hefan.
*Bang—!*
The black demonic energy collided with the shield.
Dense cracks appeared on the shield, but it held firm and did not shatter.
The Little Demoness was momentarily stunned…
This was the first time she had failed since emerging from her slumber!
Ling Hefan was at the third level of Nascent Soul.
The Little Demoness was roughly equivalent to a human cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, but her strength was somewhat unique.
She couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.
Her body had once been fused with the bloodline of a spirit-devouring beast by that mad old man.
Spirit-devouring beasts were generally not strong; in fact, they could be considered quite weak.
However, this type of demonic beast possessed a unique ability – a keen perception of power!
They could accurately judge the difference in strength between individuals, unaffected by cultivation realms.
Even if an opponent concealed their cultivation, it was useless!
After being modified by the mad old man, this effect had been amplified severalfold!
She could clearly sense that Ling Hefan was no match for her.
Yet, he had managed to withstand her attack using a magical artifact!
This annoyed her greatly!
It wasn’t the fact that her attack was blocked that bothered her, but rather that the artifact was clearly on the verge of breaking!
Once Ling Hefan became her target, he was her prisoner.
The possessions of her prisoners were her spoils of war!
Now, Ling Hefan was essentially using what belonged to her to defend against her attack.
This made her both annoyed and distressed!
As a female rogue and bandit, the Little Demoness's logic was often simple and brutal!
With her annoyance mixed in, the Little Demoness unleashed her second attack towards Ling Hefan!
*Bang—!*
The shield completely shattered and vanished!
The jade pendant also turned to dust.
Furthermore, the impact of her attack provided Ling Hefan with a significant burst of acceleration…
With a *whoosh*, he was sent flying a great distance!
“Damn it, don’t you run!” the Little Demoness huffed, continuing her pursuit.
Ling Hefan had no intention of responding.
Only a fool wouldn’t run!
When the shield had appeared, he hadn’t been idle; he had secretly been circulating a unique secret technique of the Ling family!
This secret technique had no offensive capabilities; all its effects were focused on speed!
He had already found it difficult to use his incomplete ultimate move earlier, so activating this secret technique now was not a cost-effective choice.
If nothing else, he would be completely drained after it ended.
But now, Ling Hefan had no other option!
Magical artifacts were finite resources.
Being drained was better than being dead…
When a cultivation technique focuses solely on one area, its effects are extremely pronounced.
With a *whoosh*, Ling Hefan accelerated, his speed instantly increasing by a considerable margin!
He vanished in an instant!
The Little Demoness was utterly astonished!
How could this brat run so fast?!
She immediately pushed her demonic energy to its limits, chasing him relentlessly.
At full speed, the Little Demoness’s pace was also terrifying.
Ling Hefan’s figure reappeared in her sight.
However, by comparison, she realized the situation was not good.
At this rate of speed difference, she would eventually lose him…
Eight black dragons roared out, charging ferociously towards Ling Hefan ahead!
Sensing an even more terrifying energy fluctuation than before, Ling Hefan’s legs trembled…
His pants…
Had become slightly damp…
Holy hell!
How could this woman be so monstrous?!
Then, enduring the pain in his heart, Ling Hefan took out another string of prayer beads.
The prayer beads were tossed into the air, scattering into individual beads.
Each bead erupted with a dazzling golden light, transforming into the illusory figures of several Buddhas!
The multitude of Buddha figures pushed their right palms forward, intercepting the Little Demoness’s eight black dragons!
The appearance of the Buddhas made the Little Demoness feel slightly uneasy, and her speed slowed momentarily.
Afterward, both the Buddhas and the prayer beads vanished, and Ling Hefan had flown a considerable distance further…
This stop and go had widened the gap between them once again…
The chase continued.
Each time the Little Demoness attacked, Ling Hefan blocked it with the magical artifacts he produced.
After numerous instances, the pained expression on Ling Hefan’s face grew more pronounced.
Damn it, I’m almost out of my stash…
And his pants were now completely soaked…
As if he had been submerged in water and then retrieved…
When the Little Demoness’s soft whip arrived, Ling Hefan silently produced a small wooden figure, no larger than his palm.
His face was etched with pain and reluctance…
