Chapter 41: Support Arrives

The moment Xiao Yichen came into contact with the pool water, his clothes were immediately corroded, and a sharp pain came from his skin. The pool water seemed to have life, madly corroding every inch of his skin, as if being gnawed by countless poisonous insects, emitting bursts of green smoke.

After feeling the horror of the pool water, he immediately mobilized his energy to isolate the pool water, but the next moment, the barrier he had just formed was shattered by a palm from the man in black. Without protection, his skin quickly festered again, blood spread all over his body, and was quickly dissolved by the pool water. The energy in his body continued to repair his injuries.

"Ah..." The physical torture forced him to roar, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the water immediately rushed into his mouth and nose, and a burning pain came from his throat, as if it was going to corrode his internal organs. His eyes were so irritated that he could hardly open them.

Liu Sha on the shore saw all this, and a hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes. He was enjoying Xiao Yichen's screams at this moment. With such an expression, even the man in black beside him shuddered unconsciously.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen, who was in the pool, finally floated his head to the surface. His face was corroded and bloody. He crawled desperately towards the shore, trying to escape from this horrible place. His hands were in the water, not daring to stop for a moment. His eyes were full of fear and desire for life. It was an obsession to survive at all costs.

He was scared, afraid of dying without a sound. His enemy was right in front of him, but he could do nothing. The shore was getting closer and closer, yet out of reach. Whenever he was about to touch the shore, Liu Sha would signal the man in black to kick him back into the center of the pool.

"Haha... little beast, how does it taste?" Liu Sha stood on the shore, looking crazy, with an extremely exaggerated expression, his eyes bloodshot, and the corners of his mouth raised high, revealing a ferocious smile.

After hearing Liu Sha's crazy words, Xiao Yichen's struggling movements slowed down. He wanted to curse, but he didn't dare to speak anymore. He could only bear the pain and open his eyes which were already blurred together, staring at the direction where the voice came from. His appearance was so terrifying that even Liu Sha, who was in an extremely crazy state, felt a chill in his body when he felt this gaze.

Just when he was getting angry and embarrassed, there was a sudden sound of fighting from the Lingjian Sect in the distance, followed by the sound of buildings collapsing and countless screams. The man in black heard the noise and immediately grabbed Liu Sa's hand and was about to leave.

"Get out of here! I want to see this little bastard die with my own eyes." Liu Sha broke free from the black-clothed man's pull, his eyes wide open, staring at Xiao Yichen who was no longer moving in the pool.

"Young Master, something has happened in the sect. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. Come back with me first." The man in black looked at Liu Sha anxiously, his tone full of urgency, but Liu Sha seemed to be determined and stood there motionless.

As the shouts and cries grew louder, the man in black gritted his teeth and slapped him hard on the back of the neck. The next moment, he dragged the unconscious Liu Sha along the path and quickly rushed towards the sect.

Feeling the two people leaving, Xiao Yichen endured the severe pain and kept waving his body. He had completely lost his sight at this moment and could only swim in one direction. Finally, he touched the shore. After climbing ashore with all his strength, he kept moving his body backwards, fearing that he would fall down again by accident.

His plight seemed to be seen by heaven, and it suddenly began to rain heavily, continuously washing away the pool water that was still attached to his body.

"Ah... What did I do wrong? I just want to live, I just want to survive. Why do you treat me like this, why... Ah..." Resentment and anger came out from his burned throat against the sound of rain. He lay on the ground, tears mixed with blood dripping down his face.

There was not a single good spot on his body, especially his face, which had been corroded by the pool water to the point where his facial features were almost invisible. His once handsome face now looked like a maggot in decay, with his bones vaguely visible. He looked like a zombie crawling out of hell, lifeless and with only a broken shell.

His body kept shaking as if he was sobbing. The pain on his skin was far less than the grief and anger in his heart at the moment. Until the energy in his body was exhausted, he had no extra strength to support himself. His consciousness became weaker and weaker, and finally he fainted.

It was unknown how long it had passed, but the heavy rain continued without stopping. The sky and the earth seemed to be separated by this curtain of water. Xiao Yichen was lying in the mud, the rain kept hitting his body, and the accumulated water around him had already submerged his body. At this moment, several figures came from a distance, carefully searching for something in this area.

"Found it, Elder... Come here quickly, I found my junior brother..." Suddenly, an anxious voice sounded from a distance. The owner of the voice was the female disciple who had been imprisoned in the dungeon before. Her name was Lin Qingxue. At this moment, she looked at the ground in front of her in panic. After a while, several figures appeared in front of Xiao Yichen one after another.

When everyone saw Xiao Yichen lying on the ground, tortured beyond recognition, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but cover her face and sob. Elder Xuanqing picked up Xiao Yichen, who was covered in blood and flesh, and continuously supplied spiritual energy into his body.

"Zhang Yang, notify all the elders and disciples to return to the sect first." After saying that, his figure turned into a stream of light and flew quickly into the distance.

This disciple named Zhang Yang was one of the people who had been imprisoned in the dungeon before. Upon hearing this, he immediately took out the sound transmission stone and passed the news of retreat to his fellow disciples who were still near the Lingjian Sect. Then, he led the other disciples present to evacuate quickly.

In the healing hall of Qingfeng Pavilion, after three days of sleepless efforts by the sect's doctors, Xiao Yichen's injuries were finally stabilized, but he was still in a coma.

Outside the healing hall, Zhang Yang and Zhang Qingxue were guarding there. When they saw the doctor coming out, they hurried forward and asked about Xiao Yichen's condition.

"He's basically stable now, but his injuries are quite serious. It will take some time for him to wake up. And I haven't found a way to treat the scars on his body yet. I have to go back and ask other doctors." After saying that, the doctor hurriedly left the place and flew away, leaving the two of them to stay here.

"Senior Brother Zhang, do you think our junior brother should be fine?" Lin Qingxue looked a little worried. In the past two days, whenever she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the scene of Xiao Yichen covered in blood and flesh, making it difficult for her to calm down.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang sighed softly, patted the other person's shoulder, and said gently, "Don't worry, Qingxue. Junior brother has good fortune. He survived such a serious injury. Now his injuries have stabilized. I believe he will wake up soon. You should go back first and have a good rest for a while."

After the two left, Xiao Yichen was lying on the bed in the healing hall, wrapped in bandages all over his body. He suddenly woke up from a nightmare. The next moment, he felt pain all over his body. He opened his eyes to see the surrounding situation clearly, fearing that he was still in the Lingjian Sect, but he found that there was darkness in front of his eyes.

"Why can't I see anything?" He was very frightened. He didn't care about his physical injuries. He endured the severe pain and got up from the bed, rushing around the room.

The noise instantly attracted the attention of the guarding disciple, who forced him back onto the bed. However, because of this, Xiao Yichen began to yell and scream, fearing that the other party was from the Spirit Sword Sect. In desperation, the disciple had to use force to trap him. After the other party's anxious explanation, Xiao Yichen realized that he was now in Qingfeng Pavilion. He slowly calmed down and lay back on the bed, saying with a choked voice:

"Senior Brother, could you please call a doctor for me? I seem to be... blind."
