682: Chapter 682 I Hate…
“I can see the ground now, and it looks like sand below!”
Xiao Mei glanced down quietly, enduring the powerful wind to clearly see the situation below.
“Protect yourself with your Immortal Essence!”
Bai Xiaofan also turned back for a look and then said to Xiao Mei in a low voice.
At the same time, he released his Immortal Essence, enveloping them both.
Originally, Bai Xiaofan had thought that if there were an ocean below, or some trees or something, it could somewhat lessen the powerful impact.
However, what lay beneath was endless yellow sand.
Falling with such tremendous force, probably even with a strong physique, one would mostly be out of luck!
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Xiao Mei decisively acted accordingly.
Meanwhile, on the ground below, dozens of people had already taken up ambush positions.
These individuals were dressed like local mercenaries.
Each of them was armed with a weapon.
Bang!
When the two were less than two hundred meters from the ground, a dull sound echoed.
Right after, Bai Xiaofan felt a burst of pain in his back.
However, no sign of distress showed on Bai Xiaofan’s face.
He just focused on running the Ancient Divine Technique, taking the hits with his body.
A sniper bullet hit Bai Xiaofan’s back, leaving only a shallow mark.
Bang, bang, bang!
Following that, countless gunshots rang out.
Innumerable bullets ruthlessly struck Bai Xiaofan’s back.
Even as powerful as Bai Xiaofan was, among the succession of rain-like bullets, there were still one or two that penetrated his body.
Seeing Bai Xiaofan hold her in his arms, using his body to block all the bullets,
a soft spot in Xiao Mei’s heart seemed to be touched.
The man before her was actually protecting her with his life.
“Don’t overthink it, I’m fine.
Just before we hit the ground, I will push you out with force to help reduce the buffer force.
You need to kill the surrounding ambushed people as quickly as possible!”
Bai Xiaofan, noticing the expression in Xiao Mei’s beautiful eyes, spoke to her softly.
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Xiao Mei didn’t say much, just quietly looked at him.
The ground was getting closer and closer…
And the bullets hitting Bai Xiaofan were becoming more and more numerous.
A powerful sniper bullet hit Bai Xiaofan’s lower back.
And that bullet very accurately lodged itself precisely into his spine.
Spurt!
A spurt of fresh blood couldn’t be held back and sprayed out from Bai Xiaofan’s mouth.
In that instant, Bai Xiaofan’s arms forcefully pushed Xiao Mei upwards.
Although Xiao Mei’s rapid descent was somewhat slowed,
the speed of Bai Xiaofan’s fall increased even more due to the reaction force!
Bang!
Bai Xiaofan’s body smashed fiercely into the yellow sand.
The surrounding ambushers, as if they had gone mad, ignored Xiao Mei altogether.
They frantically pulled their triggers at the spot where Bai Xiaofan had crashed down.
In a moment, layers of sand kicked up under the huge impact of the bullets, spreading out.
“You deserve to die!”
Xiao Mei let out a cold shout, swinging her Green Lotus Sword, and attacked the mercenaries around her!
In an instant, Sword Qi rampaged, striking towards the ambushed mercenaries.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Mei had slain all thirty-one mercenaries, including snipers and riflemen.
After scanning the surroundings with her Divine Sense and finding no enemies, Xiao Mei hurried to Bai Xiaofan’s side.
She mustered all her strength to lift Bai Xiaofan out of the yellow sands.
Carrying Bai Xiaofan swiftly, she left the dangerous area.
Xiao Mei was quick, disappearing from the spot in a breath’s time.
“Damn it, you can’t be in danger!”
Xiao Mei thought about finding some shelter, but after running for a long time, she still couldn’t find any.
Apart from the yellow sand around them, there was only more yellow sand…
If one had to mention something else, it would probably be the occasional skeletal remains encountered, who knows how long they had been dead!
She found a spot to sit down, letting Bai Xiaofan’s head rest on her thigh, and her small hands quickly searched through Bai Xiaofan’s bosom.
She found the elixirs on Bai Xiaofan, and, recalling what he had told her about each one’s effects, she took out two healing pills and administered them to Bai Xiaofan.
Yet, after taking the elixirs, there was still no sign of Bai Xiaofan waking up.
Xiao Mei felt somewhat at a loss.
She had no choice but to carry Bai Xiaofan on her back and continued forward.
By now, several groups of mercenaries had begun to converge on their location.
As daylight gradually faded, the temperature around them dropped sharply.
Xiao Mei had to release the Xian Yuan from within her body to envelop both herself and Bai Xiaofan, warding off the cold.
Finally, a very small village came into view up ahead.
Xiao Mei didn’t care who was inside or whether it was safe, she just barged in with Bai Xiaofan on her back.
But what Xiao Mei couldn’t understand was why there wasn’t a single person in this dilapidated little village.
Oh no, to be more precise, there wasn’t a single living person.
All around were about a dozen corpses, and by the looks of their decomposition, they had probably been dead for around three days!
After putting Bai Xiaofan down, Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment before flipping him over.
Looking at the almost festering skin on Bai Xiaofan’s back and the bloody traces, Xiao Mei’s nose couldn’t help but sour slightly.
Especially seeing those bullets that were embedded in Bai Xiaofan’s body, the urge to cry intensified!
After a moment of contemplation, Xavier Xiaofan’s Green Lotus Sword appeared in Xiao Mei’s hand.
She decided to use the Green Lotus Sword to extract all the bullets that were embedded in Bai Xiaofan’s back and along his spinal column.
“Hey, aren’t you being a bit too ruthless?
Cough cough…
To think you’d try to kill me while I’m unconscious, I hate…”
Just as Xiao Mei was preparing to make her move, Bai Xiaofan’s weak voice rang out.
“I spit, I’m the one who hates?
If I were to kill you, I’d do it in broad daylight!”
Xiao Mei was initially happy to see Bai Xiaofan awake,
but upon hearing his words, the joy in her heart dissipated.
She gave Bai Xiaofan a resentful glance and put away the Green Lotus Sword.
“Ah, I’m in a bad way this time!”
Bai Xiaofan checked his internal condition and shook his head speechlessly.
Then he gestured for Xiao Mei to move aside a bit, and his muscles tensed slightly.
Pop pop pop!
At that moment, the bullets that had been embedded in his body flew out.
He tried to sit up, but as soon as he moved, he collapsed back to the ground.
Damn it!
He couldn’t exert any strength in his waist!
The bullet that had hit his lower back had gone right through his spine.
Although the bullets were now out, the shattered bones had not healed.
And according to Bai Xiaofan’s knowledge, even directly consuming the Asura Blood wouldn’t heal him quickly.
He took several elixirs in a row and swallowed them without hesitation.
