Chapter 1217 Daoist Reinforcements

Although they still couldn’t fight off the infection, they were able to delay the worsening of minor injuries. The infection only caused a loss of blood coagulation. With minor injuries, the blood loss wouldn’t be fatal anytime soon. The number of severely injured at the medical station was dropping sharply, and there had been no new reports of deaths during this period.

Since the hospital had brought the latest blood-producing medicine, the mildly injured in the third shield could also barely make it out under escort. Leaving the second shield meant losing their ability to coagulate blood, but to free up space, they had to take the risk. The space inside the third shield had to be reserved for those who needed it most.

Many medical personnel also marched resolutely toward the center of the earthquake to provide emergency treatment for the severely injured. Fearless in the face of danger, they were a prime example of marching bravely into danger despite knowing the risks. Their fearless hearts were truly admirable.

“If the situation can just stay like this, that would be great. We can wait for the Grand Marshal to come and save us!” Wuteng Feng said, staying by Su Yue’s side to take care of him. He constantly wiped his sweat and calmed him down. In truth, apart from a slight headache, Su Yue was perfectly fine for the time being.

Meanwhile, Junior Qi had been shocked numb by Su Yue. He suspected that Su Yue also had a Dao Cauldron inside his body. Such strength simply defied all logic.

“How is the situation here?”

Just then, a fierce wind howled in the distance. Following the hurried voice, a Grandmaster from the Daoist Sect rushed over.

Reinforcements had arrived.

Gu Feizi looked around, his face etched with anxiety. The Daoist Sect was under a joint bombardment by three alien Paragons. The first-generation Elders and Daoist Venerables of the Yuan generation were blocking the Paragons head-on, while the second-generation Grandmasters of the Gu generation all had to join forces to activate the mountain-protecting Sacred Artifact.

About half an hour ago, Bai Ziqing had sent back a message, asking the Daoist Sect to send a Gu-generation Grandmaster who was proficient in the Life-Crossing Combat Tactic. The Daoist Sect was currently under immense pressure. In the end, everyone decided to let Gu Feizi come alone. There was no other way; they simply couldn’t spare anyone else.

“The wounded have had their injuries infected by the Paragon’s aura. They need to be saved using the Life-Crossing Combat Tactic. Martial Uncle, please save them immediately,” Bai Ziqing said. Seeing that it was Gu Feizi who came, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing went wrong, the lives of those in the Research Institute would be saved this time.

When he was cultivating the Life-Crossing Combat Tactic, he had received no shortage of guidance from Martial Uncle Gu Feizi. Although Gu Feizi was only Rank Seven and his strength wasn’t particularly outstanding among the elders of the Gu generation, when it came to the Life-Crossing Combat Tactic, he was an absolute prodigy.

“Mhm, I understand!”

RIIIIP!

As soon as he spoke, Gu Feizi sat down cross-legged. Without wasting any time, fluctuations of Qi Blood immediately surfaced around him. Instantly, the Daoist Sect disciples rushed forward in unison, piercing silver needles into their martial uncle’s acupoints one by one. They were precise and showed no hesitation. In the blink of an eye, Gu Feizi turned into a human hedgehog.

A Grandmaster was a Grandmaster for a reason. The number of silver needles pierced into his body was twice as many as Bai Ziqing’s. Suddenly, under Gu Feizi’s treatment, the second batch of over 200 wounded began to recover from their injuries.

“As expected, it’s an infection from a Paragon’s Qi Blood. Fortunately, there’s the Absolute Defense. Otherwise, the toxicity would be dozens of times stronger than it is now,” Gu Feizi said, frowning after sensing the situation for a moment.

As a Grandmaster, his judgment of the details was even more precise than Bai Ziqing’s. At the same time, the giant face in the sky also exerted immense pressure on Gu Feizi. There was no telling when the Palm Eye Race Grandmaster would be defeated. For the disaster at the Research Institute, they could only wait for Yuan Longhan to arrive and clean up the mess.

The Daoist Sect was the Divine Land’s first line of defense. Despicably, the alien races’ target was actually the Research Institute. Despite all of the Divine Land’s calculations, they had never anticipated that a Paragon of the Blood Boiling Race would actually choose to trade his life.

Then, Gu Feizi saw Su Yue. To be honest, he was startled. Su Yue could only manipulate a single silver needle, which clearly meant he had only cultivated the Life-Crossing Combat Tactic to the fourth layer. For Martial Artists outside the Daoist Sect, this was already the absolute limit. However, Su Yue’s manipulation of the Life-Crossing Combat Tactic was simply too skilled. Not to mention the intensity of it, in terms of sheer speed, he was no less capable than Gu Feizi himself. This kid was an absolute genius.

“Su Yue, the son of Prince Qing. You certainly live up to your reputation,” Gu Feizi said, offering a heartfelt compliment. He had seen photos of Su Yue, so he recognized him easily.

“It’s just luck. Thanks to Brother Bai’s annotations, I was able to avoid many detours. Thank you to the Daoist Sect for coming to save people,” Su Yue nodded.

Gu Feizi and Bai Ziqing combined could treat over 300 people at the same time. This was actually a massive number. This way, the number of severely injured could be kept under control. Of course, he couldn’t slack off either.

“Friends from the Zhenqin Corps, please immediately transport all the severely injured out of the third shield,” Gu Feizi decisively issued orders after observing the battlefield for a few more minutes.

“During the transport process, Fei Ningxiao might pull some tricks, so transport them out as quickly as possible.

“I have a feeling that as a dignified Paragon, Fei Ningxiao’s methods shouldn’t be limited to just this.”

In truth, Bai Ziqing’s previous plan had been correct. Keeping the wounded inside the second shield could prevent the infection from breaking out. But now that he had arrived as a reinforcement, the severely injured wouldn’t die instantly. The best rescue plan for these wounded was to leave the third shield.

At the same time, the Martial Artists coming up from the Underground City also had to hurry into the third shield to transition. There needed to be a balance between the inside and outside. If they all swarmed out at once, it wouldn’t be a good idea either.

No one realized that in the gap between the second and third shields, several whirlwinds had already begun to form. These whirlwinds were mixed with construction debris and could injure the research personnel at any moment.
