Chapter 109 Not enough fighting, seeking medical help
"Hand over the young master!"
She Long swung his spear, piercing the cocoon to shoot out poisonous stingers, but they were all blocked by the layers of mycelium surrounding the cocoon.
"You still dare to make a move?"
Chi Shu didn't recognize anyone present, and naturally had no reason to back down in the face of their attacks.
"Entangled in a myriad of threads!"
With a dashing shout of the move's name, countless life-giving mycelia intertwined into ropes and whips, lashing out at She Long and Ci Xue from all directions.
The life-protecting mycelium that Chi Ping prepared for Qian Renxue was the top-grade mycelium fruiting body of the Chi Tree, with strength comparable to the main mycelium, and could not be damaged by anything but divine weapons.
Although he couldn't unleash his full power without divine authority and divine power, he could still barely maintain about 20% of his strength thanks to the mycelium from Chi Ping that supplied him with soul power.
Don't underestimate these two percent.
When Chi Shu suppressed Golden Crocodile Douluo, he didn't even use 50% of his power.
The whip that Chi Shu swung out at this moment was no less powerful than the full-force attack of an ordinary Title Douluo!
Given the terrifying number of mycelial whips, She Long and Ci Xue felt as if they were being besieged by nearly a hundred opponents of the same level.
If they hadn't been unsure of Qian Renxue's condition, they would have run away long ago!
"Where did this senior come from?"
Meng Shenji, who had retreated to a distance, exclaimed in surprise.
"Boss, can you tell what her martial spirit is?" Zhilin asked, puzzled.
Meng Shenji shook his head. "I've never seen such a strange and terrifying martial soul. It seems to be some kind of plant-based martial soul. This person should be a control-type Title Douluo."
"Surrender!"
Chi Shu shouted.
As his skill in controlling the mycelium improved, more soul power was poured in, and the mycelium whips bared their fangs and claws as they attacked She Long and his companion.
"Wait! We surrender! We're not the enemy!"
Ci Xue shouted in a terrified voice.
Snapped!
The soft whip left cut-like cracks on the already dilapidated ground.
Ci Xue stared at the cracks on the ground, swallowing hard.
Most of the ground in the palace was paved with solid bluestone. This stone was several meters thick, and even a titled Douluo would not be able to break it easily, but under the soft whip of mycelium, it was no different from tofu.
"Tsk!"
The little girl clicked her tongue in displeasure.
They probably didn't play enough.
"Tell me honestly, why did you attack Aunt Xue!"
Ci Xue hurriedly denied it: "How could we possibly lay a hand on Young Master!"
Chi Shu asked in confusion, "Young Master? Are you Aunt Xue's subordinates?"
The two nodded hastily.
"Then why did you attack me?"
She Long hurriedly explained.
Meanwhile, inside the cocoon.
Chi Ping's will descended with the help of Chi Shu's power. Under his control, the life mycelium pierced Qian Renxue's chest in the smallest possible size, ruthlessly devouring the killing intent, pulling and stitching together the fragments of her heart, and filling the gaps.
On the verge of death, the secret technique spontaneously dissipated, and Qian Renxue returned to her original appearance.
Delicate features and a slender figure.
Such a frail, sickly beauty would be hard for any normal person not to be attracted to.
But Chi Ping didn't react at all, looking at the delicate body as if it were a moving piece of meat.
This is probably a common problem among those who control life; appearance, which can be adjusted and changed at will, has no meaning in their eyes. What matters is the soul and the mind.
Although Ikehira has only recently entered this field, he is already showing this trend.
In fact, Qian Renxue chose a very opportune time to confess her feelings to Chi Ping. If it had been after Chi Ping had received the life inheritance, her confession would not have been accepted by him.
The broken heart was stitched up and barely restored to basic circulatory function.
"This is all we can do for now. To fully repair it, we'll have to wait for the original body to arrive. Get some rest, Xue'er."
Life hyphae coalesce into form, and the still water gently caresses the lover's face.
Seeing the queen who once flirted with him now in such a state of needing care, a rare surge of anger rose in his heart.
Instantly connecting with underground mycelium, countless pieces of information are received and processed.
"This is... a trap... a deadly scheme, a trap for Hongmen?"
Chi Ping whispered as he stepped out of his cocoon.
—Another one?!
Xueye Mengshenji was greatly alarmed.
"Dad, is Aunt Xue alright? Those two said they were Aunt Xue's subordinates. That guy named Xue Ye set a trap to kill Aunt Xue. There are siege crossbows on the wall that he arranged, and two Title Douluos have already escaped. These three old men are just here to watch the show. The one who hurt Aunt Xue was that dead man in black on the ground over there."
Chi Shu pointed to the people present and briefly explained what had happened after he learned about the situation from She Long and the other person.
"Is that so?"
Chi Ping glanced around.
The group includes a member of the Royal Education Committee whom they had met briefly at the Elite Tournament, an unfamiliar Title Douluo, the controller of the Heaven Dou Auction House, a soldier, and two people hiding inside the city walls to spy on the group.
His gaze was devoid of sorrow or joy, devoid of emotion or intention.
A chill ran through everyone, whether openly or covertly. It was as if their lives might cease to belong to them at any moment.
"Dad?"
Chi Shu tugged at Chi Ping's hand.
My thoughts wandered.
Chi Ping patted his daughter's head.
This is the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace; we cannot go too far here.
Taking control of the mycelium, he took out the two artifacts with obvious divine power carried by the assassin who died at the hands of the Dream God and put them in his hands.
—With divine power, it's no wonder he suffered such severe injuries.
After storing the triangular prism and longsword in the cocoon, Chi Ping addressed the crowd, "Everyone, disperse. I don't care whether you are Xue'er's enemies or friends; she is safe now. I will ensure her safety, treat her, and then take her away. If you wish to harm her, then spar with me first!"
Hoping to explain himself clearly when reporting, She Long boldly asked Chi Ping, "Who are you?"
Everyone perked up their ears.
"I am Chi Ping, the Dean of Shrek Academy, the inheritor of life, and Xue'er's lover."
……
"that's all?"
Deep within the palace, Xueye and Xuexing, barely recovering some of their energy thanks to the medicine left behind by Dugu Bo that suppressed the toxins, talked.
The operation against Qian Renxue was planned by Xue Xing, agreed to by Xue Ye, and executed by Xue Ye.
Xue Xing nodded. "Chi Ping protected the person who replaced Xue Qinghe. I didn't have enough manpower to stop those two Title Douluos. This matter has to end here."
"Can we get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and the Asura Killing Sword back?"
Xuexing shook her head. "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
He closed his eyes and pondered on the snowy night, "Is this Ikehira the same person from five years ago?"
"It's pretty close," Xuexing said.
"Could the inheritors of life be related to God? Does God truly exist, or is it just a legend?"
"It should be, otherwise I can't imagine that a Soul King could reach a level far exceeding that of an ordinary Title Douluo in just five years."
Xueye opened his eyes. "Send someone to demand them from Chi Ping. If the gods truly exist, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and the Asura Killing Sword will be key to our fight against the Spirit Hall! No matter what, we must try to retrieve them."
"Who should we send?"
Xue Ye said ruthlessly, "Let Xue Ye go and apologize. Also, have him ask Chi Ping if there's any way to cure my poison. Even Dugu Bo had to ask him for help, so even if it was just an excuse, he should have real skills."
Xuexing glanced at Xueye.
To those unaware of the truth, Xue Ye was the mastermind behind the murder of Xue Qinghe, who was on the verge of death, and Xue Qinghe was Chi Ping's lover.
Xue Xing still vividly remembers the look in Chi Ping's eyes back then. If Xue Ye were to appear before Chi Ping now, she would likely meet a terrible end.
No wonder he's on the throne.
"I see."
