Chapter 982: Grey Mountain Stranger
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
A man fell from the sky. After all, Qing-Yun Realm was a world that only the bigger fist represented the law and one could be seen through by a cold glance.
It wasn't so surprising that people fell from the sky. If they cared about every man who fell from the sky, they might have to give up half of their lives on this business!
However, this time, it was different. If they didn't stop, Darky would crash that man.
Xuan Bing, Han Bingxue, and Ye Xiao all realized it, so they stopped!
That man fell from high and firmly hit the floor. Blood shed from his nose, mouth, eyes, and ears. The blood shot up to the sky over ten meters high.
They looked at the man. He was pale on the face. There weren't many wounds on his body. Only… they found a deep sword wound on his chest, close to his heart!
That sword must have stabbed through his chest!
His heart was totally broken by the qi on the sword.
However, he was still breathing. He was struggling with death.
Even though he was severely injured, he still kept himself sober. He opened his eyes and looked at the three, speaking weakly and slowly, "Help me!"
'Help me'!
Ye Xiao looked at the wound. He was sure there was no way to cure him.
Even though he had lots of dan beads which saved lives like a blessing from the heavens, none of them worked for this man. He was dying.
Not that the sword wound was killing him. In fact, he had burned out his own life energy in the tough fight before he came to this place.
Both his life energy and his physical body were damaged. There was no way to cure him!
"Guo Meng from Grey Mountain?" Xuan Bing frowned. Almost at the same time, Han Bingxue said, "Guo Meng!" He sounded in shock.
Ye Xiao realized whom they were looking at when he heard them say his name.
He had never met this man before, but he knew that there was a weird man in Grey Mountain of the north. His name was Guo Meng, a level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivator, who was called Grey Mountain Stranger.
How could this superior cultivator show up in this place?
He was severely injured and could die at any moment!
The three of them all felt it strange, so they crowded over to check on Gun Meng.
"Let us help. We have to know what happened to you." Han Bingxue asked.
Guo Meng realized the three had recognized him. He looked comforted in the eyes. He was gasping, showing a red face, as if he would die the next second. Apparently, he was trying to say something, but no words went out his mouth. He must have been hurt real bad, so he couldn't say anything anymore.
Ye Xiao sighed and put a dan bead into his mouth.
Guo Meng was not his enemy, but he was not his friend either. They were strangers to each other.
However, when a superior cultivator wanted to say something at the last moment of his life, Ye Xiao was willing to help, as he had the capability to help.
However, it was a bit expensive!
After all, to give a stranger a supreme dan bead was extravagant!
Guo Meng looked grateful in the eyes and then closed his eyes.
He had taken the dan bead and still needed time to digest it.
What he needed the most was time. No matter how powerful the dan bead was, for him, who was in such a miserable condition, he just wanted a few more time before he died. He wouldn't ask for full recovery.
"He must have burned his life energy to get away from a fight after he got damaged badly…" Xuan Bing said in a low voice.
Han Bingxue nodded to agree.
Whatever Ye Xiao could tell, Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue could also tell, as they were both experts in cultivation too!
"This wound is weird." Ye Xiao was checking the wound. He spoke in a low voice, "Do you realize it? The sword didn't slow down a bit when it went through the chest."
"Hmm?"
Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue were confused. A wound was a wound. It was a wound that was caused by a thorough sword stab. Why would it slow down?
Ye Xiao was living a second life now. He didn't waste time in the Land of Han-Yang. He had been living there for only two years, but he had learned things that he could never do as Xiao Monarch in Qing-Yun Realm. One of the things was the knowledge of wounds!
With the help from Brother Egg and Boundless Space, he got to make the priceless Supreme Dan, the best work of the art of dan-making. Supreme Dan could cure almost every disease or wound. However, even though it was easy for him to make supreme dan beads, that was hundreds or even thousands times easier than any other people, it still cost him lots of treasures. That was why when he used supreme dan beads, he was always careful. That was also why he was so good at curing wounds and diseases.
Back to the days when he was leading an army to fight against the army of the Kingdom of Lanfeng, which was over ten times bigger in number than the Kingdom of Chen, he still won the war, because he used lots of supreme dan beads to save and cure his soldiers. His army was like the army of the undead.
During that war, because practicing medicine with his soldiers, he got a great improvement in medicine and knowledge of physical wounds. Even in the entire Qing-Yun Realm, there was nobody who could be as good as Ye Xiao in the area of medicine!
"Cultivators have a natural strong sensation for attacks and crisis. Even when ordinary people, rather than superior cultivators, are attacked, wherever on their body that got hit, the skin and muscle will shrink to resist the injury. It's the nature of human. There shouldn't be any exception. However, this Grey Mountain Stranger doesn't seem to follow the nature's rule."
Ye Xiao pointed at the wound and said, "A level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivator should have a strong defensive power from the muscle itself. Even if it was Miss Xuan who attacked him, you couldn't make such a smooth wound. Even if the man who attacked him had forcibly broken his defensive power, it still wouldn't leave a smooth wound like this. In that case, the wound should be blasted… It just shouldn't be like this."
"Is it possible that his enemy is way too stronger than him and attacked him in surprise?" Han Bingxue said.
"If that person is much stronger than him and gave him a surprise attack, it might have a chance to create such wound, but if so, he wouldn't have the chance to get away from that fight," Ye Xiao blandly said.
Xuan Bing nodded to agree.
Of course, she knew it too.
