At this moment, Li Changfeng's face was flushed. He had forced out two streams of true energy at the same time, which caused a backlash in his body. He coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood. His condition was not much better than that of Princess Minmin.
"You've lost! Princess Minmin! We've finally won this battle!" Li Changfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile.
Princess Minmin clutched her chest, her face ashen, and slowly said, "Hmph!... You won this battle by sheer luck, but I'll definitely win next time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Minmin aggravated her injuries, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood and becoming dizzy.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng asked worriedly, "Are you alright, Princess Minmin?"
Princess Minmin took a Supreme Healing Pill, slowly sat up cross-legged, and coldly snorted, "This little injury won't kill me! I'll be fine after a short rest!"
After saying that, she slowly began to circulate her internal energy to heal her injuries, completely unconcerned about having Li Changfeng as her opponent.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "They really trust me!"
They had been through a lot together, and their friendship was strong enough for them to trust each other. However, they were on opposing sides because of their different stances, but they also believed that neither of them would want to kill the other.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo slowly walked to Li Changfeng's side, helped him up, and asked worriedly, "Jue Kong Brother Juekong! Are you alright?"
Li Changfeng shook his head and said slowly, "I'm fine! I just need to suppress the backlash injuries in my body a little!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo nodded and slowly stood beside Li Changfeng to protect him. Her beautiful eyes involuntarily turned to Princess Minmin, and she found that Princess Minmin's beauty was no less than hers, and even had a more gorgeous and elegant temperament.
Coupled with the conversation and trust they had just shared, a sense of crisis began to creep into her heart. A surge of jealousy erupted within her, and a murderous glint flashed in her eyes as she thought to herself, "Now that she's seriously injured, this might be the best time to kill her!"
Suddenly, Zhou Zhiruo drew her long sword and rushed towards Princess Minmin in a blur. She quickly arrived beside Princess Minmin and thrust her sword down towards Princess Minmin's chest. The situation was extremely critical!
Princess Minmin had already unleashed a killing intent towards her. In a flash, her eyes narrowed, and she lashed out with a swift and sharp steel whip, striking back at the woman who had ambushed her with overwhelming power!
At this moment, Li Changfeng also noticed Zhou Zhiruo's movements and was immediately startled. He quickly made a move and used the second move of the Shaolin Dragon Grasp, "Telekinetic Capture". Li Changfeng's hands stirred up a thick, light golden true energy, which condensed into a light golden dragon claw fifty feet in size.
He swiftly reached out and grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's body, instantly pulling her towards Li Changfeng's side.
Princess Minmin's attack was too fast, and it struck Zhou Zhiruo instantly, causing a spray of blood. If Li Changfeng hadn't intervened, the whip would have pierced her heart.
Princess Minmin, enduring the backlash from her body, coldly snorted, "This girl is simply courting death! If it weren't for you, you damned brat, saving her, I would have killed her long ago!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "I'm sorry! I don't know why she suddenly attacked you!"
Princess Minmin sneered, "Isn't this all because of your romantic escapades!"
After saying that, Princess Minmin turned into a blur and left the place, disappearing without a trace!
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng shook his head, "What romantic entanglements could a monk like me possibly have!"
He then checked Zhou Zhiruo's injuries. At this time, she had already been knocked unconscious by Princess Minmin, and there was a shocking bloody gash on her left shoulder, with blood slowly flowing down her arm and onto the ground.
"That was close! Luckily I rescued him in time, otherwise he would have been hit in the heart!"
Li Changfeng took out a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine and slowly opened her clothes, revealing a pink undergarment underneath. After a moment's hesitation, Li Changfeng said, "Never mind! Saving lives is the priority!"
She then poured the powder onto the wound, and the intense pain forcibly woke her up. Her pretty brows were furrowed, and she cried out in pain.
Li Changfeng gently placed his palm on her back, channeling his inner energy to alleviate her pain. Zhou Zhiruo slowly opened her beautiful eyes and saw that Li Changfeng was healing her. Her face immediately flushed.
Then he noticed that her clothes were a little disheveled, and he immediately covered himself in panic, his face turning as red and translucent as a small apple. He said in a soft voice, "Thank you so much for saving my life, Jue Kong Brother Juekong!"
Li Changfeng's face was pale. He had just been healing her, which had caused the suppressed injuries in his body to flare up again. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he immediately began to circulate his internal energy to heal himself!
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo felt ashamed. If she hadn't been so impulsive and acted suddenly, Li Changfeng wouldn't have forced his way to save her, thus aggravating his own injuries.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhiruo remembered something, took out a top-grade pill, and hurriedly said, "Jue Kong Brother Juekong! This is the Nine Blossom Dew Jade Pill, a sacred healing medicine that Master gave me. Take it quickly, it will help improve your injuries!"
Li Changfeng frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm currently using my internal energy to heal my injuries and can't free my hands, so you feed me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo blushed and slowly took out a Nine Blossom Dew Jade Pill with her slender fingers, placing it near Li Changfeng's lips. "Here! Senior Brother Jue Kong! Open your mouth!"
Without saying a word, Li Changfeng swallowed it in one gulp, accidentally biting into Zhou Zhiruo's slender finger in his mouth, and continued to practice his internal energy to heal his injuries.
Zhou Zhiruo let out a soft moan, her pretty face as red and tempting as a bright red tomato. A ripple stirred in her heart for a moment. She suddenly turned her back to Li Changfeng, put her hands on her body, and glanced at Li Changfeng every now and then.
Li Changfeng, completely unaware of what was happening, focused on healing his injuries. With the help of the Nine Blossom Dew Jade Pill given to him by Zhou Zhiruo, his injuries recovered extremely quickly.
Fifteen minutes later.
Li Changfeng slowly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being called a holy medicine for healing! Its medicinal power is indeed formidable!"
Then Li Changfeng noticed that Zhou Zhiruo's face was flushed and asked in confusion, "Zhiruo! What's wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you injured?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo shook her head vigorously, "No... it's nothing! I'll be fine in a bit!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "It's good that you're alright! Remember to let me know if anything happens!"
Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head and slowly said, "Yes... I understand, Jue Kong!"
"Alright! We've been delayed here for so long, I wonder how the disciples in the other places are doing. Let's go check on them together!"
"Okay! Jue Kong Brother Juekong! I'll go wherever you go. I feel much more at ease with you around!"
Upon hearing such ambiguous words, Li Changfeng's heart softened. "Okay... okay!"
