Chapter 101: 97: Treating Illnesses and Injuries, The Chainsaw for Dissection

"Can you not appear so suddenly like a ghost?" Su Li placed a hand on her chest, complaining as she spoke, "My heart can't take it."

"Sorry," Su Heng's calm voice came through the night.

"It's okay," Su Li paused for a moment before responding.

It was rare for her to see such a serene attitude from Su Heng—a foreboding premonition rose in Su Li's heart.

"Did... something happen?" Su Li asked.

"Elder Zhao Luoying went to pursue remnants of the Sky Wolf Sect but met with an accident, and the team she led was completely wiped out."

"I was worried that something might happen here, so I came to check," Su Heng said simply.

"Elder Zhao Luoying is..." Su Li froze, then slowly came back to her senses after a moment of stillness.

"I understand," she said calmly.

"The Demon King has been dealt with by me, and its remains need to be sent back to the Demon Suppression Tower," Su Heng said. "Pack up your things here and come back with me. Otherwise, if you stay here alone, I won't feel at ease."

"Okay," Su Li nodded, her entire demeanor seeming somewhat wooden.

But as she turned around and took two steps forward, she stopped again.

In front of her was a young warrior, his face pale from excessive blood loss, with a large hole torn through his chest.

Though he had already been bandaged up.

But blood was still seeping out, staining his clothes a deep red.

If she could just stay a little longer, she might save him... Su Li thought.

"How many like him are there?" Su Heng's towering figure materialized behind her.

"Yes," Su Li nodded, "there are many, many wounded. I want to help some, but my cultivation is too shallow, and the number I can help is limited."

"I see..."

After a moment of thought, Su Heng said, "You go pack up. I'll take care of these wounded for you."

He reached out to pat Su Li's shoulder and stepped forward.

The soldier lying on the ground, who had been in a deep sleep, seemed to hear the movement and lifted his head to meet Su Heng's calm eyes.

Such a towering giant...

He seemed frightened, struggling to move back a little.

But even this simple movement pulled at his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Don't be afraid," Su Heng reached out and gently grasped the young warrior's arm, "I am the Deputy Governor of the Demon Suppression Bureau, I'm here to help you."

"I remember now, I saw you earlier today," the young soldier said.

"Did you?" Su Heng smiled.

The robust vitality of the Green Wood Longevity Technique flowed into the young warrior's body.

The wound quickly stopped bleeding and formed a scab, the broken tendons healed, nerve tissues regained function, and even the injured internal organs were nourished.

A comforting warmth spread from the wound, akin to being immersed in a hot spring.

An expression of surprise appeared on the young soldier's face.

He opened his mouth, wanting to express his gratitude, but he was too exhausted; his head tilted, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

By the time Su Heng finished these distracting tasks and returned to Baihua County, it was two days later. Explore more stories at m,v l'-.net

This morning.

In a brightly-lit study of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Li Daoxuan awoke early as usual, finished his calligraphy practice, and gently set down the brush in his hand.

Rhythmic footsteps approached from outside the door, paused briefly at the door, then with a click, the door was pushed open.

A tall figure sidled in, ducking his head.

"Really..." Li Daoxuan shook his head with a wry smile, "One after another, you young people have no manners, entering someone else's room without even greeting."

"When you came to the Demon Suppression Tower, you didn't give me any advance notice either," Su Heng said calmly.

Bang!

He set down the ghost-faced sword he was carrying.

The heavy blade made a dull thud as it contacted the wooden floor.

"The scenery here is actually quite nice," Su Heng's gaze swept over the old man's shoulder, through the window, he could see the sun's rays glittering on the wide river, shimmering like broken gold—a truly pleasant view.

"At my age, with my status, even if I relax a bit, no one would criticize me," Li Daoxuan commented as he turned to take a teapot from the windowsill and poured a cup of tea for himself and Su Heng.

Su Heng didn't reach out to take it but instead looked at a letter on the table.

"What's written on this?" Su Heng's brow furrowed slightly.

"News from the Six Families Alliance," Li Daoxuan passed the letter to Su Heng, softly saying with a sense of loss, "The Six Families Alliance, in the end, has come to this."

"Song Ting and Song Yingchun were actually opponents of the Six Families Alliance, and their death at your hands has frightened the other noble families. Unintentionally, you have facilitated this event," Li Daoxuan chuckled. "Of course, even without you, the formation of the Six Families Alliance was inevitable."

"The echoes from the Eternal Heaven are getting stronger; a new era is slowly arriving. Noble families, the Demon Suppression Bureau, demons, and monsters, all are making preparations," Li Daoxuan sighed, "The Great Conflict is upon us, wondering who will have the last laugh."

"As an old man like me, I won't have the chance to see it..." he shook his head and laughed a little regretfully.

"Thanks for your help this time, I've heard the reports from Wang Xindong and Zhou Guiyu—if it weren't for you, the forces we previously arranged might have indeed been caught unprepared, leading to heavy losses," Li Daoxuan said earnestly.

"Cut the fancy talk, I like to hear something more substantial," Su Heng said, "Do you remember the promise you made to me before?"

"Of course," Li Daoxuan nodded.

Su Heng took out the ghost-faced blade, which was leaning to one side, and placed it on Li Daoxuan's desk.

As of today, this weapon had gradually become unsuitable for Su Heng's combat. He had not brought it with him for the campaign against the Wolf King.

Previously, Li Daoxuan had mentioned that he would help Su Heng reinforce it after this mission was over.

Taking this opportunity, Su Heng came specifically to discuss his ideas.

"What kind of design do you want it to be?" Seeing the serious expression on Su Heng's face, Li Daoxuan asked out of curiosity.

Instead of answering, Su Heng took paper and pen from the desk. His brows slightly furrowed, he pondered while sketching out the design in his memory onto the white rice paper.

Soon, a rough sketch of a weirdly shaped and exaggerated weapon appeared before Li Daoxuan.

"This is..."

Li Daoxuan held the sketch in his hands, examining it carefully.

Then, shaking his head with a smile, he said, "I have never seen this type of weapon before, but it looks very ferocious."

The sketch depicted a huge cleaver-like blade.

But, unlike any other, the edge of this weapon was neither smooth nor sharp, it featured some sort of serrated structure.

At the joints where the serrations met the blade,

It was requested to use materials that could move, so that with force injected, the serrated teeth could buzz and spin.

The stronger the force, the faster the spin.

Needless to say, if struck squarely by this weapon,

The wound would definitely be grotesquely exaggerated, as if gnawed by a giant beast, bloodied and flayed.

Just imagining it sent chills down Li Daoxuan's spine.

"Is there any problem with this design?" Su Heng knocked on the desk, drawing Li Daoxuan's attention back.

"Hmm..."

After pondering for a moment, Li Daoxuan said, "Generally, it's not difficult to realize such a function, but the serrations aren't easy to find. They need to be sharp enough to ruthlessly tear through the opponent's defenses and hard enough not to affect the weapon's lifespan."

"That's simple..." Su Heng had already prepared before coming.

He reached for his belt, took off a leather pouch hanging there, and poured its contents onto the desk.

A pile of sharp fangs glittered with a cold light under the sunlight, forming a small mound.

"This is..."

Li Daoxuan's brows furrowed slightly as he picked one up to inspect, "These are the teeth of the Wolf King Cang Ye. It seems that he has suffered a lot at your hands."

"Not bad, old guy," Su Heng smiled, "Can you finish it now?"

"No problem," Li Daoxuan replied agreeably.

"How long will it take?" Su Heng asked further.

"If it's fast, five or six days should do, at most it won't exceed ten days," Li Daoxuan answered.

"Good," Su Heng waved his hand, "Then I won't bother you any longer. If there's anything, you can send someone to contact me."

"We will be adding a batch of people to the Demon Suppression Tower later; remember to receive them."

Li Daoxuan's voice carried over from a distance.

"Got it." Su Heng guessed it was because of the matter with Wang Bingquan and Ma Youcai.

The betrayal of the two elders had indeed left the Demon Suppression Tower short-staffed. Su Heng didn't think much of it and turned to leave Li Daoxuan's study.

...

...

...

"I've found out something. Two elders from the Demon Suppression Tower had previously betrayed and turned to the noble families and were secretly executed. There will definitely be new manpower added to the Demon Suppression Tower. Taking this opportunity, we might be able to disguise as one of the elders and infiltrate the Demon Suppression Tower."

On a cliff shrouded in mist and with beautiful scenery,

Ye Tong kneeled on the ground, pleading to a demon figure wearing a hood in the dark room.

The demon raised its head, putting down the book in its hands. Sunlight poured in from the outside window, revealing an ugly lizard-like face to Ye Tong's view.

This elder was called Bai Xiaotong.

Before transforming into a demon, its original form was a rare chameleon.

After becoming a demon, it inherited and even enhanced its original talent, capable of perfectly concealing its aura or disguising itself as another entity.

Therefore, in the Sky Demon Alliance,

While Bai Xiaotong's strength was not particularly high, its unique abilities allowed it to accomplish many difficult tasks.

This time, Ye Tong hoped to use Bai Xiaotong's talent to infiltrate the Demon Suppression Tower. Even if it wasn't possible to directly rescue the Wolf King, she could at least confirm the situation and then make further plans.

However...

The Sky Wolf Sect had become a thing of the past, and the Wolf King's fate was currently unknown.

Whether Bai Xiaotong would be willing to come out of retirement to assist was also unknown to Ye Tong.

She kneeled on the ground, holding her breath, silently waiting. Several heartbeats felt as if they stretched to an eternity.

The fingers resting on her skirt slowly curled, exposing smooth skin to the air.

"The Wolf King Cang Ye has shown me kindness," Bai Xiaotong's voice finally came through, slowly saying, "Since he is now in chains, I cannot sit idly by. We need a clear outcome, whether life or death."

As the voice drew nearer, a rough, large hand grasped Ye Tong's shoulder, gently lifting her from the ground.

"You are a follower of the great Cang Ye, with the blood of the Demon King flowing in your veins; you need not kneel before me," Bai Xiaotong extended a handkerchief.

"Thank you!" Ye Tong took it.

She lifted her head, feeling her eyes moisten as the light from the window blurred before her.
