Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 116: Flowing Sun Heartburn Needle

Xue Xian's speed was initially fast, but it slowed down as she got closer to her destination.

She took out a talisman and cleaned her clothes, tidied her hair, and restrained her smile.

In an instant, she went from being lively and excited to being elegant and serene.

Yang Ning shook his head as he watched from behind. This was still the Sea Queen, skilled in PUA techniques.

Acting aloof in front of Boonie Bears, but acting pitiful in front of herself.

He happened to encounter Xue Xian during her most vulnerable period, otherwise he would have seen a noble and glamorous Xue Xian.

Xue Xian arrived on top of the sand dune with a dignified smile, but her smile instantly disappeared when she saw the person who had arrived.

Sixteen people, dressed in red, black, and gray robes, stood together, resembling a dark cloud in the desert!

Depending on the region, the attire of Extreme Eternal disciples varied. For example, Extreme Eternal disciples in Shanglan were accustomed to wearing blue clothes. Even if they were not qualified to wear blue robes, they would still wear blue decorations.

First Heaven Sect, which practiced the Great Heavenly Sign Technique, had patterns of wind, thunder, rain, and snow on their clothes.

On the other hand, Myriad Saints Alliance favored black, red, and gray!

Firstly, the colors emitted by their techniques were like this, and secondly, the light industry and artifact refining level in the Myriad Saints Alliance's territory were not high enough to produce clothes with rich colors.

So, the people below were not disciples of First Heaven Sect, but disciples of Myriad Saints Alliance!

"Run!" Xue Xian's expression changed immediately. Just as she turned around, someone below took out two thin needles from their pocket and threw them casually!

Xue Xian screamed and immediately covered her chest.

Yang Ning, on the other hand, dodged the attack by moving his body to the side, and then he grabbed Xue Xian and tried to run.

"Carry me, carry me, I can't run!" Xue Xian hurriedly shouted.

"That works too!" Yang Ning thought Xue Xian was saying that she couldn't run as fast as him without leaving footprints in the sand. Since she wanted to be carried, it wouldn't be taking advantage of her.

Yang Ning lifted Xue Xian up and turned around to leave.

"What speed is this!?" The Myriad Saints Alliance disciples behind them only caught up to the sand dune, and the two of them were already running with only a shadow left!

"No matter how fast they run, it's useless. Once they're hit by my Flowing Sun Heartburn Needle, the faster they run, the faster they die!" The cultivator who had just thrown the needles boasted.

"I think you only hit one of them!" someone asked.

That person replied impatiently, "Look, they're a man and a woman. The man actually remembered to take the woman with him when he fled. If the woman is hit by the needle, it's the same as both of them being hit!"

The disciples beside him nodded in agreement. It made sense. Only those self-proclaimed righteous disciples would do such a thing. If it were Myriad Saints Alliance disciples, they wouldn't even hesitate to throw away their own mothers, let alone a pair of lovebirds.

Another young man with a stubble beard took out a pitch-black giant eagle from his Spirit Beast card. The eagle flew up into the sky and followed Yang Ning and Xue Xian.

"Alright, let's follow them slowly. Wait for the poison to take effect and then ask about the situation!" The leader of the disciples put on his hood. "What a terrible place, it's so hot!"

On the other side, as Yang Ning ran, he felt the soft touch on his back.

Under the touch, there was the sound of a violent heartbeat.

"Do you have an antidote?" Yang Ning asked.

"Yes!" Xue Xian took out a jade bottle from her storage bag and swallowed several pills from it all at once.

"How do you feel?" Yang Ning asked.

"It seems like it's not working!" Xue Xian felt her body, her heart still burning like a raging fire, showing no signs of improvement.

She reached out to remove the long needle from her chest and was about to throw it away, but Yang Ning quickly said, "Don't throw it away, let me analyze the toxin!"

"It's useless. Everyone in the Myriad Saints Alliance knows how to use poison. Each faction has their own unique poison. Today, we may crack one, but tomorrow they will develop ten more!" Xue Xian looked aggrieved, her voice tinged with a crying tone. "I never thought that Xue Xian, the future Snow Master, would die here, and be killed by a random needle. This kind of death is too embarrassing!"

Despite her words, she still placed the poisoned needle in front of Yang Ning, showing that she hadn't completely lost her will to survive.

Yang Ning took the poisoned needle. He also felt that this kind of death was too hasty. Even if she didn't die by his hands, she should have died at the hands of the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

"By the way, didn't you used to call yourself 'zi'?" Yang Ning asked. "Why did you suddenly become 'wo'? I haven't heard you say 'zi' in a long time!"

"I used that to raise my own value, it was a self-invented self-reference!" Xue Xian smiled bitterly. "You don't know how much pressure there is in the First Heaven Sect. I am the Snow Jade Lustrous Body, so everyone is watching you, scrutinizing your every move, waiting for you to make a mistake!"

"Every male disciple has thoughts about you, and every look they give you is strange."

"Even those senior brothers, openly or secretly, are telling me to become their Dao companion and promising me a bright future."

"I have to become strong, independent, and powerful in order to not be bullied."

"Is changing my self-reference your solution?" Yang Ning asked.

"Not only that!" Xue Xian smiled bitterly. "Do you know what my real name is?"

"Isn't it Xue Xian?" Yang Ning asked.

"What parents would name their child Xue Xian?" Xue Xian said wearily. "My real name is Li Daozhen, but it's just an ordinary name. It doesn't match the Snow Jade Lustrous Body, so I changed it to Xue Xian."

"It doesn't match?" Yang Ning was astonished. "The way of the law is naturally taken, and the Dao is sought within the truth. Your name is a perfect match for cultivating the Dao! It's profound without being vulgar, simple yet not ordinary. On the contrary, the name Xue Xian is too common, giving off a feeling of a nouveau riche eager to tell others how rich they are!"

"Really?" Xue Xian, or rather Li Daozhen, was taken aback.

"Of course, I am a well-known writer in China. Would I say something wrong?" Yang Ning said. "By the way, who chose the name Xue Xian?"

Li Daozhen awkwardly turned her head and realized that she was still lying on Yang Ning's back, with nowhere to hide.

"It was... a senior who helped me choose it," Li Daozhen whispered.

Actually, she chose it herself.

"It seems that this senior's level is also average!" Yang Ning laughed. "Even if you wanted a name related to the Snow Jade Lustrous Body, you could have directly incorporated the word 'xian' into your name. It's too straightforward to have the word 'xue' in it!"

"How should it be chosen then?" Daozhen curiously asked.

"Snow represents purity and whiteness, the utmost purity and beauty. And Snow Jade Lustrous Body symbolizes a kind of attitude that is not accepted by the world, proud and aloof!" Yang Ning said. "So you can take the meaning of 'snow', but you can't have 'xue'. You can take the meaning of 'xian', but you can't have the word 'xian'!"

"For example?" Daozhen blinked curiously, completely distracted by Yang Ning, forgetting that she was still a seriously injured person.

"Su Xiao, how about that?" Yang Ning asked. "Su means white, and Xiao means the sky at night."

"Su Xiao, Li Su Xiao, Fairy Su Xiao!" Dao Zhen muttered this name, feeling a bit confused. "I don't understand!"

"So, you should read more books. What a great name, and yet you don't understand!" Yang Ning said impatiently.

"It doesn't matter!" Dao Zhen shook her head. "Anyway, I won't survive much longer!"

She could feel the intense poison coursing through her body. As soon as her blood came into contact with the poison, it melted away like ice meeting scorching sun.

Thinking that she had also brought a Spirit Weapon with her, it was possible that the disciples of the Myriad Saints Alliance had also brought highly poisonous substances. It would be easy for them to poison her.

Although she could think this way, it was still embarrassing!

Dao Zhen suddenly thought of the previous Fengyu City. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have fought against the Mysterious Heaven Sect. At least she would have died at the hands of a powerful opponent!

No, if she had died back then, she wouldn't have met Bai Qi, would she?

Unfortunately, he already had a lover!

But so what?

She could already feel her brain becoming hazy, with various thoughts flooding out one after another.

Although she was exhausted, her mind couldn't calm down!

This was a problem with her heart, causing insufficient blood supply to her brain. Not only could she not control her own thoughts, but her brain cells were also dying in large numbers.

The various thoughts that emerged in her mind at this moment were the information released when brain cells died, similar to a revolving lantern.

"Hmm?" Dao Zhen suddenly felt a coolness above her head, and she became somewhat clearer. When she opened her eyes, she found herself under a dripping rock wall.

This was a hidden ruin in the desert, not only cool but also with a water source nearby.

"We're temporarily safe!" Yang Ning said. "The pursuers are 188 kilometers away from us. Based on their pursuit speed, we have an hour of safety."

Xue Xian's brain couldn't figure out why Yang Ning had managed to leave those people so far behind. She just murmured, "Are you going to abandon me?"

Yang Ning shook his head. "I won't abandon my teammates, even if they're temporary teammates."

"Is that so?" Xue Xian smiled bitterly and suddenly remembered something. She even proactively lifted her clothes and said, "Can you... take me?"

Yang Ning was immediately puzzled. "Don't be ridiculous. You're not poisoned by snake venom. There's no need to do that."

"I know!" Xue Xian laughed. "It's just that I've lived for 18 years and haven't even had a partner. I don't want to die without experiencing the taste of love."

"Don't think like that. You won't die!" Yang Ning said. "I can save you, but you need to release the binding of the Spirit Weapon."

"Here you go!" Xue Xian weakly took out the Snowflake Crystal Bracelet and handed it to Yang Ning.

"You trust me so easily. Aren't you afraid I'll take the Spirit Weapon and run?" Yang Ning was astonished.

"You won't!" Xue Xian had no strength to make an expression, but she still managed to force a faint smile. "You won't even take my body, so you definitely won't do something like that!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Yang Ning first recognized the Spirit Weapon, then retorted, "I'm not interested in women. Women only slow down my cultivation speed!"

"You're lying!" Xue Xian laughed. "When I asked you to carry me just now, your face clearly turned red!"

Yang Ning was speechless. It was clearly because of the sun!

He could only forcefully change the subject and took out a needle, which was the one that was just thrown by a disciple of the Myriad Saints Alliance.

"This needle is composed of two parts, one is the hollow injection head at the front end, and the other is the needle tail at the back end that contains the venom!" Yang Ning said, "Because of its hollow structure and average material, this needle cannot fly very fast, at most 188 meters per second. You were hit when you were about sixty meters away from them, which surprised me!"

Xue Xian blushed, can I be blamed for that? I was just shocked when I realized that those 16 people were not teammates but disciples of the Myriad Saints Alliance. I couldn't react in time!

"The pharmacology of the toxin is also sluggish. It must hit the heart of a person and inject the toxin into the heart. If you had twisted even a little at that time, you wouldn't have been affected!"

Xue Xian raised her hand to cover her face, sobbing, please stop, it's too embarrassing!

"I wonder how you cultivate disciples in the First Heaven Sect. Aren't you the number one sect in the world? Is this the level you have?" Yang Ning knew that any organization, as long as time goes by and there are more vested interests, the level of organization, governance, and management will decline rapidly.

In theory, the Immortal Cultivation World should be better, but I didn't expect the First Heaven Sect to be an exception.

"I just became an outer disciple, okay!" Xue Xian felt that she had to defend herself, otherwise she would be worse than a worm: "Before this, I had never experienced real combat. I came to this outer sect trial to train myself!"

"To train yourself, with eight bodyguards?"

Xue Xian blushed instantly: "Well, that's just in case!"

Yang Ning shook his head and continued, "This toxin has a direct effect. It can coagulate blood, dissolve qi and blood, cause heart blockage, and the special components in the venom will act as catalysts, causing fibrosis of the heart muscle cells."

Xue Xian looked confused, "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

"What I mean is that this poison is not the kind that circulates throughout the body, so it is simple to detoxify!" Yang Ning explained helplessly.

"How do you detoxify it?" Xue Xian asked, "It can dissolve qi and blood, so it can't be forced out with qi and blood!"

"It's simple!" Yang Ning said, "I just need to open up your heart and remove the toxin, then it will be fine, right?"

"Huh?" Xue Xian widened her eyes, "Are you joking? Opening up the heart, can a person still survive? I'm not a Spirit Law Realm expert!"

"But as long as this work is completed in a very short time, you won't die!" Yang Ning said, "In other words, take advantage of your heart not paying attention!"

"Is that possible?" Xue Xian looked bewildered. Has the medical level in the outside world developed to this extent?

"Yes!" Yang Ning nodded, "Considering that this procedure may be very shocking, I have to tell you in advance so that you won't be frightened when you see it later!"

Xue Xian was speechless, I have already been frightened.

"Also, because the surgical site is the heart, I might see some..." Yang Ning pointed to Xue Xian's heart area, "You don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind!" Xue Xian blushed, she had just been prepared to hand over her body!

At this moment, it was just being looked at, and it was for the sake of saving her life. What's the big deal?

Although they also value female chastity here, it hasn't reached the point where losing one's life is a small matter and losing one's chastity is a big deal.

"As long as you don't mind!" Yang Ning nodded, first took off the girl's clothes, and then activated the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet.

The combination of the first immortal cultivation technique in the Extreme Eternal World and modern surgery begins!

I have something to do today, so the update is late.

There will be one more chapter later, after the surgery is completed.
