Chapter 95: The Lifesaving Elixir Rescues a Life

A thunderous crash exploded as the blade aura slammed straight into the dozen or so guards, instantly sending them sprawling to the ground.

"Ow!"

The guards groaned and writhed where they lay, and several of them fainted on the spot.

At the sight, everyone stood dumbfounded. The first strike had also knocked down more than ten men, but no one had seen who had made it. This time, they had all witnessed Wu Tian’s effortless attack with their own eyes, and the shock was profound.

Wei Aoxiong’s eyes bulged wide as copper bells as he stared at Wu Tian in disbelief.

"You... you actually... actually defeated all my guards! You... you... who exactly are you?"

"Who I am is none of your concern. All you need to know is that you should get out now," Wu Tian said, his eyes half-lidded.

Wei Aoxiong’s shock twisted into rage. Relying on his identity as the young city lord, he had always run wild through New Leaf City, never once meeting anyone who dared defy him. Yet today, Wu Tian had beaten every one of his guards flat, and he was thoroughly displeased.

"You brat, you’re really damn arrogant! I’m the young city lord, and my father governs this entire New Leaf City. You dare to go against me now? Looks like you don’t want to live. I advise you to kneel right this instant and apologize, or I’ll make sure you wish you were dead!" Wei Aoxiong roared, pointing at Wu Tian.

A chill flashed through Wu Tian’s eyes as he said coldly, "Make me wish I were dead? Hmph. Then I’ll send you straight to hell right now!"

With that, Wu Tian raised the Black Dragon Saber and swung it toward Wei Aoxiong.

Terrified, Wei Aoxiong, though the young city lord, had not even reached martial master level in cultivation. Naturally, he was frightened witless by Wu Tian’s murderous pressure.

"N-no... don’t!" Wei Aoxiong collapsed to the ground and cried out in terror.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, Wu Tian’s Black Dragon Saber stopped at Wei Aoxiong’s throat.

"Brother, thank you for helping us. This man is the young city lord. If you kill him, you will surely bring disaster upon yourself. This happened because of me, and I do not wish to drag you into danger!" Li Tiedan seized Wu Tian’s arm and looked at him pleadingly.

"If I don’t kill him today, the trouble will be even greater. But since you’ve said so, I won’t kill him," Wu Tian replied, withdrawing the Black Dragon Saber and glaring coldly at Wei Aoxiong. "Get out of here now. Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I’ll kill you every time I see you!"

Wei Aoxiong’s face had already gone pale with fright. Seeing that Wu Tian had spared him, he scrambled up from the ground and fled in panic.

"Just you wait! I’ll definitely come back for revenge!" Wei Aoxiong shouted his threat only after running a great distance away.

"Wu..."

At that moment, Li Tiedan’s younger sister suddenly made a sound, and her frail body began convulsing violently.

"Little Sister, Little Sister!" Ignoring his own injuries, Li Tiedan hurried over to check on her. Her face had turned bluish-purple, and her entire body was ice-cold. The situation was not promising.

"Little Sister, hold on. I’ll take you to see a doctor right away. I’ll buy you the best medicine immediately!" Li Tiedan quickly gathered up the silver, preparing to leave.

Xiaohui could not bear to see Li Tiedan’s sister in such critical condition, so she used several healing spells on her, but they had no effect at all.

"Young Master, my healing spells are completely useless. This little girl is so pitiful. Look how cold and purple she’s become; she looks like she’s about to die," Xiaohui said worriedly, shaking her head at Wu Tian.

Yet at that moment, Li Tiedan’s sister convulsed even more violently. After several intense spasms, her whole body went limp.

"It’s over. This girl seems to be done for. She was convulsing just now, and now she’s completely gone limp!"

"Look at her skin turning purple all over. She must have some terminal illness. There’s no saving her!"

"She doesn’t even seem to be breathing anymore. It looks like she’s..."

Seeing this, many of the onlookers around them shook their heads in pity.

"No! Impossible! Little Sister, I’ll take you to the doctor right now, right now!" Li Tiedan could not even spare time to put away the silver. He scooped her up and was about to leave.

"Strong man, wait!" Wu Tian quickly called him back. "From your sister’s condition, even if you rush her to a doctor now, it will be too late. I have medicine that can save her!"

"Re-really?" Li Tiedan looked at Wu Tian with hope shining in his eyes.

Wu Tian said nothing. Instead, he checked the little girl’s pulse and found that there was still a faint beat remaining.

"Hurry up and put her down. She still has a weak pulse. My Vitality-Preserving Pill can save her life!"

"Vi... Vitality-Preserving Pill!" Li Tiedan’s eyes flew wide. As a martial practitioner, he naturally knew what such a pill meant.

Under Li Tiedan’s astonished gaze, Wu Tian took out a divine-grade Vitality-Preserving Pill from his system bag. Last time, Wu Tian had refined five of them: one had gone to the Sun family, one to the Sect Master Ye, and now only three remained. Wu Tian decided to use one to save Li Tiedan’s younger sister, simply because Li Tiedan had made a good impression on him.

"Damn! Is that really a Vitality-Preserving Pill? That’s a heaven-grade pill. There aren’t even many heaven-grade pills in the entire Fierce Martial Empire. This young man just took one out so casually—who exactly is he?"

"I remember that three years ago, the imperial capital auctioned off a Vitality-Preserving Pill, and the final price seemed to be ten million taels of silver. Only a great clan could afford that kind of wealth!"

"This young man is actually giving such a precious pill to a stranger. That’s unbelievable!"

"..."

The moment Wu Tian produced the Vitality-Preserving Pill, everyone around was shocked. Some doubted whether the pill was genuine, while others felt Wu Tian was wasting something far too precious.

"Brother, absolutely not. A Vitality-Preserving Pill is far too valuable. Even if I spent my whole life, I could never repay it!" Li Tiedan sucked in a sharp breath and hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Enough talk. Saving her is what matters. We’ll worry about repayment later," Wu Tian said, ignoring him. He directly placed the pill into the little girl’s mouth and then used his true energy to guide it into her body.

Once the pill entered her body, a surge of abundant spiritual power spread through her meridians. Then a miraculous sight unfolded: the bluish-purple color covering the little girl’s body faded at a visible speed, disappearing completely within mere minutes. After that, the icy chill in her body rapidly lifted, and in the end her chest began rising and falling in a steady rhythm, her breathing returning to normal.

"She’s breathing! Look, that little girl is breathing again! Amazing, truly amazing! That was definitely a Vitality-Preserving Pill. Only a Vitality-Preserving Pill could bring someone back from the brink of death. Incredible!" Everyone around stared in utter disbelief and cried out in wonder.
