In Love Apartment, I used a cheat to develop the Multiverse Gate.

"It's alright. You're the Vermilion Bird, with such strong recovery ability, you'll recover quickly. I told you to cultivate properly but you didn't listen, otherwise your defenses wouldn't be so easily damaged now."

Hu Yifei comforted Zeng Xiaoxian with a slightly trembling and choked voice, but tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

Because she could clearly see the hole in Zeng Xiaoxian's chest. Although flames were constantly repairing it, an invisible force was also stopping the flames.

Although he is recovering slowly, the speed is almost imperceptible. If Hu Yifei hadn't been paying close attention and hadn't been quite capable, she really wouldn't have noticed. At this rate of recovery, Zeng Xiaoxian might be able to recover in a few thousand years.

However, Zeng Xiaoxian clearly couldn't last that long, especially as his life force was constantly fading away.

"Hehe, cough, Yifei, no need... to comfort me about my situation."

puff...

I know it myself.

You... listen to me... I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say it.

At that time

...Accept... Nolan

Yes... take her.

...I mistook it for...you...

Zeng Xiaoxian twitched the corner of his mouth. How could he not feel his life force constantly draining away? He was the Vermilion Bird, who was most sensitive to life force.

Knowing he was going to die, he was at peace with himself, so he spoke his heartfelt words without hesitation, fearing he would never have the chance again.

"I see."

Upon hearing Zeng Xiaoxian's words, Hu Yifei burst into tears, unable to utter a single word.

"Teacher Zeng, lucky egg, please save Teacher Zeng!"

Mika called out to Chansey and shouted at it. Chansey sensed Mika's anxiety and immediately began to treat Zeng Xiaoxian.

However, Zeng Xiaoxian's injuries did not improve. Zhang Yu blamed himself and transferred life force to Zeng Xiaoxian, while also feeding him Senzu Beans. At the same time, seven angels continuously treated Zeng Xiaoxian.

However, even with so much treatment, although Zeng Xiaoxian's wounds were slowly healing, Hu Yifei observed that Zeng Xiaoxian's vital energy was decreasing, to the point of almost disappearing.

As Zeng Xiaoxian's life force diminished, Hu Yifei's suppressed aura also grew increasingly subdued.

Hu Yifei silently put Zeng Xiaoxian down, then looked up at Im with a blank expression.

Hu Yifei's murderous gaze made Im instinctively take a step back in fear, but he recovered the next moment. At this moment, his abilities had reached their peak, and he was no longer afraid of Hu Yifei.

"You... pfft."

Im wanted to say something sarcastic, but before he could finish speaking, Hu Yifei punched him and sent him flying.

Although his injuries had healed during the flight, Hu Yifei's speed, which was so fast that he couldn't react, still terrified him.

However, he was soon relieved again because his recovery speed was fast, and the damage Hu Yifei had done to him was almost negligible.

So what if he's fast? He can wear down his opponent completely.

Before he could react, Hu Yifei kicked him away again.

To others, it looked like Im was flying around randomly in the air, spitting out blood every time he turned, then recovering, and then spitting out blood again to turn.

On Zeng Xiaoxian's side, despite everyone's efforts to use their recovery abilities, the healing speed of his injuries was still very slow.

At this moment, Zhang Yu also panicked, became at a loss, and even began to hesitate.

His mind was blank, filled only with deep self-blame. His long period of success had made him arrogant, and he had lost his former caution, which led to the current situation.

Seeing Zhang Yu blaming himself, Dali reached out and took Zhang Yu's hand. Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment and then looked at Dali, who shook his head at him.

“It’s none of your business. This was an accident, something none of us wanted to see. Now is not the time to blame ourselves. Let’s find a way to save Teacher Zeng.”

Zhang Yu remained silent and did not reply, but his earnest persuasion still had an effect.

Although he still feels guilty, his mind is no longer blank and sluggish; he has begun to analyze Zeng Xiaoxian's injuries.

Seeing Zhang Yu's improved demeanor, Zi Qiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as the increasingly heavy atmosphere surrounding Zhang Yu had just subsided.

Those standing nearby felt it most deeply. To be honest, at this moment, they were placing all their hopes on Zhang Yu, because they had no other options. Therefore, they were all afraid that Zhang Yu would remain trapped in self-blame.

But they didn't know how to persuade Zhang Yu for a while. They couldn't just say that Zeng Xiaoxian deserved it and that it had nothing to do with Zhang Yu.

Moreover, they began to reflect on their past actions, realizing that they had always relied on Zhang Yu for everything, and now they felt somewhat ashamed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, because of Hu Yifei's Conqueror's Haki, Sengoku and Whitebeard, taking advantage of the moment when their consciousness was dazed due to the Devil Fruit, regained control of their bodies, but they needed to continuously release Conqueror's Haki onto themselves.

Given enough time, they can use Conqueror's Haki to obliterate their opponent and completely control their bodies and Devil Fruit abilities.

However, their opponents wouldn't let them succeed so easily. Marco and the other Devil Fruit users who didn't have Conqueror's Haki turned around and attacked them again, restraining them and trying to help their comrade regain control of his body.

"I'll go kill them and make them my companions in death."

Listening to the sounds coming from Zhan Guo's side, and seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's injuries and declining vitality, Lu Ziqiao could no longer suppress his anger. He picked up his halberd and was about to charge at them. As he stood up, a troop of cavalry could be vaguely seen behind him.

Not only Lu Ziqiao, but Guan Gu and Zhang Wei also silently stood up, and the two of them wanted to start a killing spree.

Zhang Yu also looked over at the battle. When he saw Marco being sent flying by Whitebeard's punch, and then his body burst into flames and his injuries quickly healed, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Zhang Yu put Zeng Xiaoxian down, and without any warning, he appeared behind Marco in a flash and grabbed Marco by the back of the neck.

Marco, who had been captured by Zhang Yu, naturally wouldn't surrender easily. Just as he was about to resist, Zhang Yu used his strength to snap his neck. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a force traveled from top to bottom through his body, and Marco, limp and powerless, was carried back to Zeng Xiaoxian's side by Zhang Yu.

"What do you want to do to my dear son?"

Seeing that Marco was easily subdued by Zhang Yu, Whitebeard showed no joy; instead, his expression changed.

Although he knew he was no match for Zhang Yu, he still resolutely roared at Zhang Yu and threw a punch at him, sending a shockwave towards Zhang Yu.

"roll."

Feeling the shockwave behind him, Zhang Yu's face turned ashen as he shouted at the white-bearded man. The powerful shockwave dissipated with Zhang Yu's shout.
