Scraping Treatment

The appearance of Huang Daoxian's true form was rather abrupt.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou must say that it wasn't just Huang Daoxian who appeared abruptly; Ning Que, Ren Anran, and even Xuanming, who could only hear, also appeared abruptly.

As a battlefield for the clash of magical techniques, Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that in a life-or-death struggle for magical techniques, those who were not familiar with magical techniques could constantly be inserted, and even escape unscathed.

He twisted his ichthyosaur body, feeling as if his hindquarters were glued on, and it seemed as if he might fall off as he swayed and swam.

The confrontation with the Nine-Petaled Flower may have lasted for about two days, while the mental shock caused by the confrontation with Huang Daoxian made it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to discern the actual passage of time.

They haven't returned to reality yet; this battle of wits is clearly still in effect and hasn't ended.

Amidst the rising purple purple qi, the voice emanating from Huang Daoxian's eyes finally ceased. He ceased his attempts to control the contest. His unwilling gaze gradually blurred, as if he were constantly breaking free from the controlled entity and leaving the area of the duel, leaving behind only the indistinct silhouette of the nine-petaled flower.

Zhang Xuezhou watched for a while before being led closer by Ren Anran.

He looked around, then finally stretched out his claws and grabbed it hard.

"He's not responding?" Ren Anran asked.

"It's unclear whether it was Huang Daoxian's influence, a problem that arose when he returned to reality, or a price to pay for escaping the magic, but it seems a large part of their bodies remains!"

After his first attempt, Zhang Xuezhou tried several more times, each time aiming for the vital spot on the flower's core.

Even the strongest and most patient man can't withstand being repeatedly grabbed in his groin. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Nine-Petal Flower was likely in serious trouble.

Kill him!

Ren Anran let out a shout, and his arm, which had transformed into a White Bone blade, participated in the coordinated attack for the first time.

A sharp pain, as if a bare hand had struck a steel plate, surged through Ren Anran, who couldn't help but gasp, realizing what kind of monster Zhang Xuezhou and the others had encountered.

The faith power originating from 'Feather' was indeed too weak, and Ren Anran was not a practitioner of faith power, nor was this place the home ground of faith power. Her attacks could not even break through the defenses of the nine-petaled flower.

The only viable option might be the 'Mysterious Qi Heavy Armor' mentioned by Huang Daoxian.

Protected by these ancient and mysterious inscriptions, Ren Anran was not harmed in the slightest even after being attacked several times.

But being beaten is one thing, taking the initiative to strike is another.

After Ren Anran poked him several times, she could only watch as the injured Zhang Xuezhou was cleaned up.

"I really can't kill him. Should we go and drag Ning Que over to help?" Ren Anran said.

"Ning Que, can you still move?"

"..."

Zhang Xuezhou called out to Ning Que, who was like a wrecked corpse. The black dragon's head moved slightly before lowering again.

Zhang Xuezhou did the work, Ren Anran watched, and Ning Que lay dead.

The nine-petaled flower had become a wooden stake, and the eyes in the misty purple qi were gradually disappearing.

This wasn't the bloody battle of my dreams, but Zhang Xuezhou was happy to do it. After all, nobody wants to suffer if they can have an easy time, and this kind of battle of driving wooden stakes was perfect.

"They still haven't figured out Huang Daoxian's true form!"

He also had some unresolved regrets, which disappointed Zhang Xuezhou, but he felt a strong sense of crisis and fear that the other party might make another move in a short time.

This increased his speed in striking the nine-petaled flower by several points.

"If I were in perfect condition, one pull like that would be enough to kill him!"

After his frantic grabbing, Zhang Xuezhou had to explain himself to Ren Anran.

"You can still fight? I can barely even scratch him!"

Ren Anran responded to Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice. She knew very well why Zhang Xuezhou was so eager to explain, and she tried her best to soothe Zhang Xuezhou emotions so that his Zhang Xuezhou would not delay the time to kill the Nine-Petal Flower.

It did take a long time for Zhang Xuezhou, with his mangled body, to kill the Nine-Petal Flower. Ren Anran either contributed or watched to prevent any unforeseen events and waited for quite some time.

Until Zhang Xuezhou pulled out a stamen with a core from the center of the flower, countless wisps of purple light poured down like a tide.

This light was so intense it was almost suffocating, and even Ren Anran struggled for a long time to catch her breath.

"Wake up, An Ran?"

A feeling like drowning washed over her, Ren Anran couldn't help but struggle back and forth.

She flailed her arms and legs wildly until she heard Ren Yisheng's voice in her ear, at which point Ren Anran realized she had returned to reality from her daze.

"Where's Xuezhou?" Ren Anran called out.

"You've been unconscious for over ten days. Even if he wakes up, he'll fall back into a coma, making it difficult to assess his condition at this time!"

Ren Yisheng responded with utter helplessness.

"What about Ning Que?"

"Ning Que regained consciousness about fifteen minutes ago. He vomited a lot of blood, but he didn't die, and his condition is alright!"

Ren Anran asked again, but her eyelids felt extremely heavy.

After slowly opening her eyes, she saw a thick blanket laid out below, a life-sustaining nutrient solution inserted into her arm, medical equipment scattered around in a somewhat messy manner, and a makeshift medical tent.

Through the window of the medical tent, she could still see the large crater created by rocket artillery fire outside.

Clearly, their medical facilities are designed with the individual at the center, essentially maintaining everyone's physical condition while ensuring they remain as normal as possible.

"The center of that crater was previously filled with water, how did it turn into fire?"

Looking at the rocket crater, Ren Anran saw familiar places as well as unfamiliar situations.

She asked a very perceptive question, which made Ren Yisheng lower his head and read it aloud.

"It's just a burial ground for rebels!"

Ren Yisheng lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot.

When he's not being ruthless, he's a nice guy, but when Ren Yisheng gets ruthless, he makes many people feel unfamiliar with him, and even a little afraid of him.

The center of the crater was filled with water, but it was later soaked with kerosene.

The bodies involved in the attack on the guard center camp were thrown into it one by one.

Later, it was the historians of the Jin dynasty who distinguished the suspects.

It's unclear whether Jin Shixue is seeing things or suffering from a mental breakdown, but there are quite a few people pointing this out.

People who were either unconscious or still alive were thrown into the area, whether they came from Wangnan Lake or Huian Street, and there were also some hotels and residences along the street.

There may have been only one true culprit, but nine living people were thrown into the kerosene.

The death of a few people is not frightening, but the arbitrary and unscientific way in which Jin Shixue (the historian of the Jin dynasty) points fingers at people makes some people uncomfortable, fearing that Jin Shixue might randomly point fingers at them.

When the historian Jin Shixue was referring to someone with a hysterical outburst, the atmosphere was extremely heavy, and no one wanted to experience it a second time.

Several days had passed since the first burning in the fire pit, but the capture did not end there, and the fire pit was refilled with oil.

If Ren Anran and the others had not awakened, this fiery pit might have been filled with even White Bone.

After Ren Yisheng murmured a few words of explanation, Ren Anran felt that things were getting worse.

Of course, the bad things didn't stop there.

The nine-petaled flower is not the real Zodiac Immortal; as long as the Zodiac Immortal lives, the conflict will not end.

At present, regardless of whether Zhang Xuezhou, who is most familiar with Huang Daoxian, has regained consciousness after the battle, Zhang Xuezhou cannot be relied upon for the next half month.
