Chapter 572: Chapter 544: The Powerful Red Moon

If it weren’t confirmed that Li Chen was indeed in a coma, both girls might have slapped him across the face right then.

But seeing that Li Chen was truly delirious and feverishly spouting nonsense, the two girls felt even more embarrassed.

If it were just one-on-one, it would have been better, but now both girls were in the room, and Li Chen’s gesture was not appropriate for just one of them.

The two girls caught each other’s eyes, both noticing the unmistakable embarrassment in the other’s gaze.

After a pinch, Li Chen finally let go with a look of relief, and Zhang Jing felt him murmur, "Feels so good..."

"He’s delirious from the fever," An Xiu said, suppressing her embarrassment with a whisper.

"Mm-hmm," Zhang Jing nodded in agreement.

At that moment, An Cheng also came over, handing a bottle of medicine to An Xiu.

"This is for healing Li Chen. You hold onto it. Give him one pill first, and if that’s not enough, feed him a second one," An Cheng instructed.

An Xiu committed An Cheng’s words to heart, nodding vigorously.

"Hey, why are both of your faces so red? What happened just now?" An Cheng suddenly asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing, we’re just worried about Brother Li Chen; after all, he saved our entire stockade, we can’t let him die here! We must save him!" An Xiu quickly explained.

"Yes," An Cheng nodded, "We must save him!"

After giving instructions, An Cheng turned and left the room.

As An Cheng left, An Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a pill from the bottle, and fed it to Li Chen.

"Mm..."

In his delirium, Li Chen felt as though he swallowed something.

That thing quickly turned into a stream of coolness, curving through his body.

His previously foggy consciousness suddenly sharpened.

The next moment, Li Chen’s eyes snapped open.

In the instant he opened his eyes, Li Chen saw Zhang Jing and An Xiu sitting by his side. After a brief recollection, he remembered what had happened before. Without needing the girls to explain further, Li Chen started to sit up, catalyzing the pill’s power, and began rapidly restoring his body’s health with True Qi.

His body was indeed on the verge of collapse.

If he didn’t wake up soon, it might be really difficult to ever wake up again.

"Xiuxiu, give me another one..." Li Chen said laboriously. His voice startled the two girls.

Li Chen’s voice sounded like that of an old man on his deathbed, hoarse and heavy.

"Ah... okay!" An Xiu responded, immediately taking out another pill and feeding it directly into Li Chen’s mouth without letting him move.

After swallowing another pill, Li Chen’s complexion improved, True Qi catalyzing the power of the medicine to continuously heal his battered body.

In truth, external injuries were secondary; the main issue was the internal damage.

Besides, Li Chen’s True Qi was practically exhausted at this point, making the healing process incredibly difficult.

It took quite a while before Li Chen stopped the flow of True Qi.

Now, he had regained a little strength in his body.

At least he was able to sit up...

Li Chen sat up from the bed and started to regulate his breathing.

After a long while, Li Chen finally exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

"Brother Li Chen, how do you feel? Are you better?" Zhang Jing and An Xiu almost asked at the same time.

"For now... I won’t die," Li Chen grimly answered.

"Then Brother Li Chen, you..."

Li Chen shook his head, "I’m going to the Sacred Pool first. I think it should help me recover faster."

"Brother Li Chen, do you need us to help you there?"

"No need, just stay here. I’ll go by myself," Li Chen said, then stepped down from the bed, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot, leaving the two girls still in a daze.

Li Chen was truly in a hurry.

His condition was indeed terrible; even the two pills could only provide temporary relief. For full recovery, he needed to consume a great deal of energy.

And the True Qi inside him was far from sufficient now.

At this moment, he thought of the Sacred Pool.

Last time, he had been hurt after falling off the cliff as well.

Not only does the pool water enhance True Qi, it also has a unique effect on healing.

The water encapsulates massive energy; if he did not make good use of it now, wouldn’t it be a waste?

So, Li Chen rushed to the direction of the Sacred Pool as soon as he could.

To get there as fast as possible, he even exhausted the last bit of True Qi in his body.

Upon reaching the edge of the Sacred Pool, Li Chen barely thought before he leapt into the pool without hesitation.

"Plop!" After swallowing a few mouthfuls of the Pool Water, Li Chen submerged himself completely and began to absorb the energy within the Pool Water.

Li Chen could feel that within the Pool Water, it seemed as though a massive amount of energy was continuously flowing toward him.

However, the energy he was absorbing was pitifully small.

"What’s going on?" Li Chen’s brows knit together slightly before he realized what was happening in the next moment.

The suction was actually coming from his waist.

"Hm? Is it this?"

While Li Chen was still in surprise, he suddenly caught sight of the Red Moon at his waist.

He took off the Red Moon, and when he held the Demon Blade in his hand, a torrent of boundless energy began to crazily surge into his body.

"Holy..."

Overwhelmed by this ferocious energy, Li Chen was caught off guard and almost passed out.

But soon after, realizing what was happening, Li Chen began to feel ecstatic.

Because he sensed that the energy, far from being harmful, transformed into usable energy for him the moment it entered his body.

Quickly, Li Chen’s injuries began to heal rapidly under the nourishment of this immensely vast energy.

The speed was so fast that even Li Chen himself found it hard to believe.

What shocked him the most, however, was the energy pouring from the Red Moon into his body. As it repaired his injuries, it simultaneously enveloped the Mysterious Energy that had been troubling him all this while.

Li Chen could feel that as the energy wrapped around that mass of Mysterious Energy, it was also continuously merging and transforming into a power that he could utilize.

He could clearly sense that his True Qi was rising at an alarmingly fast rate.

Moreover, this growth wasn’t small and incremental like before when he consumed Pills or drank a bit of the Pool Water, but rather in exaggerated, huge strides.

"This... This..." At this moment, even Li Chen was dumbfounded, completely unclear about what was actually happening.

And at that time, powered by his True Qi, now once again strengthened and enhanced, Li Chen’s injuries started recovering at a terrifying speed.

If someone had been in the water, they would have been shocked to find that Li Chen’s wounds were crazily healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Chen simply submerged his head in water, his entire body completely soaked.

The Pool Water felt a bit chilly, but to Li Chen, that was no longer of any concern.

The powerful energy within his body continued to increase, and as it healed the wounds on Li Chen’s body, it also released a lot of heat. It seemed that even the surrounding Pool Water had become somewhat warmer due to Li Chen’s presence.

Feeling the tremendous changes in his body, Li Chen held his breath for a while before finally raising his head back above the water.

He could feel that the injuries on his body had miraculously healed completely after just the anomalies that had just occurred.

If it wasn’t for his personal experience, even Li Chen himself would hardly believe it.

Such severe injuries had completely healed in such a short time.

Even Li Chen could feel that the bones that had been broken inside his body seemed to have completely mended, and they even felt tougher than before.

"Maybe this means that if anyone tries to break my bones again in the future, it won’t be so easy, right? And if it breaks, it’ll become even harder. If it breaks dozens or hundreds of times, won’t I become a Golden Arhat, impervious to damage?" Li Chen had this bizarre thought pop up in his mind out of nowhere.

The next moment, he shook his head vigorously, "It’s crazy to let someone break your bones on purpose!"

At this time, Li Chen finally came to his senses, took the Red Moon that had been submerged in the water, and held it up to the sunlight. It reflected a strange luster from the Red Moon, which quickly subdued as if it were just an ordinary blade.

But having experienced Andy’s assassination attempt, and the bizarre events just now, Li Chen no longer dared to think of it as just an ordinary weapon.

"No wonder it’s called the Demon Blade, these abilities are indeed bizarre." Li Chen couldn’t help but remark.

Just as he was preparing to take a closer look at the Red Moon, the next moment, the Demon Blade suddenly slipped from Li Chen’s grip, trembling and escaping his control.

"What the hell?!"

In the moment the Red Moon slipped from his hand, Li Chen was still a bit slow to react, thinking his hand had merely slipped, but then he saw how in the blink of an eye, once it had escaped his control, it shot toward the bottom of the pool at a shocking speed. Only then did he realize what was happening.

It was clearly the Red Moon that had fled on its own.

But it was just a blade, so how could it behave like a living creature, capable of running away on its own?

A blade with a soul?

And Li Chen was only stunned for a moment before the Red Moon shot toward the dark depths of the pool, disappearing without a trace almost instantly.

This left Li Chen even more stunned.
