Hearing the voice behind him, Che Liangzheng gritted his teeth. He had also noticed earlier that the latter’s Yuan Energy had entered his body. Also, during the Yuan Energy clash, the latter seemed to have suffered some minor injuries from withdrawing his Yuan Energy.
“Thank you…” After nodding, Che Liangzheng painfully uttered these two words, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
With Che Liangzheng regaining consciousness, Qin Yichen also found it more convenient and worry-free. His progress also increased significantly.
Using Yuan Energy to expel the Burning Poison, even with Qin Yichen’s utmost control over his Yuan Energy, it still brought Che Liangzheng tremendous pain.
Fortunately, Che Liangzheng was strong in will. He gritted his teeth and enduring with all his might.
As time silently passed, the redness on Che Liangzheng’s skin gradually receded, and the clothes stuck to his body from being soaked in sweat.
Finally, after half an hour later, the already weakened Che Liangzheng finally fainted. By this time, the Burning Poison in his body had been mostly been cleared.
Before Che Liangzheng’s Yuan Energy surged forth, Qin Yichen quickly withdrew his own Yuan Energy, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, he is so resilient and unwavering…” Qin Yichen sighed. If Che Liangzheng had not regained a consciousness at that moment, the progress would not have been so smooth.
As Qin Yichen laid Che Liangzheng on the ground, all the onlookers were stunned.
Che Liangzheng, who had previously been burning by the Burning Poison, and was clearly beyond saving, now stabilised. His aura was smooth and no longer erratic. Although there was still a slight trace of heat, it was obviously no longer serious.
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and carry him back!” Qin Yichen glanced at the stunned mercenaries and said.
“Oh, yeah…” Hearing Qin Yichen’s call, Che Mingxin and the many mercenaries finally came to their senses. Several mercenaries immediately came forward to carefully lift Che Liangzheng onto a stretcher.
“When he wakes up, give him this Pill, and the Burning Poison in his body will be completely eliminated.” Qin Yichen handed a Triple Clearance Pill to Che Mingxin and said.
“Thank you, Grandmaster!” Che Mingxin accepted the Triple Clearance Pill and gratefully said to Qin Yichen, addressing him with the title of ‘Grandmaster’.
“Little Brother, if you don’t mind, please come and rest at our Storm Mercenary Group’s base.” The burly man who called himself Lao Xiong (Old Bear) walked up to Qin Yichen and sincerely said. Then, as if afraid Qin Yichen would refuse, he added. “Our Storm Mercenary Group’s base is not far from here…”
“The base? Very well then.” Qin Yichen pondered briefly before agreeing.
News of saving Che Liangzheng at the Spirit Fire Pavilion today would surely spread throughout the entire Extreme Flame Zone in a very short time. Once it spreads, countless people troubled by Burning Poison would surely come looking for him.
By accepting the Storm Mercenary Group’s invitation to their base, it would be convenient for those who came seeking him to find him.
Afterward, Qin Yichen followed the Storm Mercenary Group members out of the Spirit Fire Pavilion.
After Qin Yichen left, those shocked experts in the Spirit Fire Pavilion finally came to their senses.
The quiet atmosphere in the Spirit Fire Pavilion, after lasting for a long while, was finally broken by voices of amazement.
“That, that young man, he expelled the Burning Poison from Che Liangzheng?”
“Looking at the situation just now, it must be so!”
“Che Liangzheng’s Burning Poison was caused by a Flame Demon Commander! This incurable Burning Poison was actually expelled by him!”
As whispered voices continued to rise, finally, everyone in the Spirit Fire Pavilion could not help but head outside. After witnessing it firsthand, they were already eager to go to the Storm Mercenary Group to consult Qin Yichen.
“This, this… Grandmaster Lu…” Seeing customers leaving the Spirit Fire Pavilion one after another in a hurry, the Spirit Fire Pavilion Manager’s face became unsightly. He looked to Grandmaster Lu beside him for help, only to find the latter’s expression equally ugly.
“Manager, don’t worry. This might have been a show put on by the Storm Mercenary Group themselves. Hmph! Expelling a Flame Demon Commander’s Burning Poison. How could that be possible!?” Grandmaster Lu snorted coldly and walked into the Spirit Fire Pavilion’s inner chamber. However, after witnessing it firsthand, even validating it himself, he personally knew best that his words were hollow.
…
At this time, Qin Yichen followed the Storm Mercenary Group toward the east side of Flame City.
“Grandmaster Qin, in Flame City, our Storm Mercenary Group’s strength ranks in the top three, alongside the Dancing Flames Mercenary Group and the Blueless Mercenary Group. The Group Leaders of both those Mercenary Groups are all Martial Kings.”
Along the way, Che Mingxin introduced the Storm Mercenary Group to Qin Yichen beside her, with a hint of pride in her words.
Qin Yichen nodded with a smile, also inwardly amazed. Martial Kings are so rare that the entire Northern Region does not have one.
From Che Mingxin’s words, Qin Yichen also learned that their Group Leader was called Sha Wenbao, who was not currently in Flame City.
As they talked and turned several streets, a vast compound appeared in Qin Yichen’s view.
Looking out, above the compound, a striking banner fluttered in the wind with the words ‘Storm Mercenary Group’ drawn on it (暴风佣兵团), faintly exuding an iron-blooded aura.
Outside the compound, several burly men with imposing figures stood straight at the gate holding weapons. From the bloodthirsty aura faintly emanating from them, it was not hard to see that they were true iron-blooded men, who had survived through the blade’s edge.
However, at this moment, their sharp gazes seemed to contain hints of anxiety and worry. This trace of anxiety became even more intense when they saw Che Liangzheng being carried over, and several of their Fellow Brothers rushing.
“Deputy Group Leader Che! Is Deputy Group Leader Che alright!?” Hearing these voices, over twenty people also came out from the compound.
“What are you shouting for? Deputy Group Leader Che needs time to rest, how could anything be wrong with him, hurry back inside!” Lao Xiong blocked those mercenaries and angrily scolded them.
“Nothing wrong?”
“Could it be that his Burning Poison was expelled? That’s great!”
“Did the Spirit Fire Pavilion help expel it? Who would have thought that such a black-hearted business would have this kind of ability!?”
Hearing Lao Xiong’s words, the group were overjoyed. At the same time, they also speculated about who had helped their Storm Mercenary Group so greatly. However, in Flame City, the only place they could think of was the Spirit Fire Pavilion.
“Stop guessing. The Spirit Fire Pavilion doesn’t have that ability. I think that Lu or whatever can’t even be considered a proper Grandmaster.”
Mentioning the Spirit Fire Pavilion, Lao Xiong could not help but feel angry, especially about that Grandmaster Lu, who could not do anything about their Deputy Group Leader’s Burning Poison. Now, when he thought back on how much support the Mercenary Group had given to the Spirit Fire Pavilion, he could not help but become angry.
