Chapter 141: Heaven-defying Effect, Becoming Brothers
But soon Qiao Feng realized something was wrong. He stared at Li Ming with vigilance in his eyes and spoke word by word.
"How do you know Ah Zhu?"
At this moment, Qiao Feng's vigilance reached its peak.
Because his being together with Ah Zhu was purely a coincidence, and during this period of time, Qiao Feng had been taking Ah Zhu to recuperate and his whereabouts were unknown. Logically, no one should know that he had a woman with him, and they should not know exactly that the woman's name was Ah Zhu!
Unless someone has been secretly spying on them recently.
But with Qiao Feng's strength, there are only a few people in the world who can hide from his perception and spy on him secretly!
Could it be that... the Li Ming in front of him is the villain that he has been looking for?
A strong hostility flashed in Qiao Feng's eyes.
Recently, he has been investigating the identity of the enemy who killed his biological parents. It should not be difficult because there are many people who know the clues, such as Master Zhiguang from Tiantai Mountain, Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan, Zhao Qiansun, and Mrs. Kang Min, the widow of deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan.
But the strange thing is that every time Qiao Feng is about to get close to the truth and find clues, there is always a big villain who gets there before him, kills those who know the truth, and then puts the blame on himself.
Qiao Feng's mentor Master Xuanku and his adoptive parents Qiao Sanhuai and his wife all died at the hands of each other, but Qiao Feng was unable to catch them repeatedly.
As a result, Qiao Feng has now inexplicably been branded as someone who killed his mentor and adoptive parents, and is insane and against human ethics, becoming the public enemy of the martial arts world.
Recently, Ah Zhu was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. Qiao Feng was busy using his internal energy to prolong her life and had no time to investigate the whereabouts of the evil man.
If there is someone secretly spying on me, it is most likely him!
But in a flash, Qiao Feng denied his guess.
Because he had fought with the big villain before, he knew that the villain was a loner and was very old with white hair and beard. There was no way he could match up with the young Master Li.
When he was being harassed by that villain, Li Ming was still famous in Qixia Town. Too many people in the martial arts world witnessed it, so it couldn't be just one person.
"Boss Qiao, there's no need to ask too many questions. I only learned about this by chance, and I have no ill intentions."
Li Ming confirmed that Qiao Feng was indeed with Azhu, anticipated Qiao Feng's reaction, and said with a smile.
"Boss Qiao, you must be going to Juxian Manor to find Doctor Xue to treat Miss Azhu. Doctor Xue's medical skills can indeed cure Miss Azhu, but this trip to Juxian Manor is also extremely dangerous. So if Boss Qiao really wants to save Miss Azhu, you might as well let me try."
"Can you heal injuries?"
Qiao Feng still asked half-doubtfully, and when he saw Li Ming nod slightly, he couldn't help but ponder.
Just as Li Ming said, he also understood that breaking into Juxianzhuang would be extremely dangerous. Moreover, with Li Ming's strength, he could clearly investigate that he and Azhu were traveling together, so there seemed no need to lie to himself.
But Ah Zhu's injuries were indeed very serious. Even though Qiao Feng had injected his powerful internal energy into her body in the past few days, it was difficult to stop Ah Zhu's spirit from getting worse and worse. Now she was in a coma for most of the day, and she couldn't last much longer.
When Qiao Feng thought about this, he made up his mind and decided to trust Li Ming and give it a try.
"Okay, then please follow me, Master Li!"
Qiao Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Master Li, you don't have to call me the leader. I left the Beggars' Sect long ago and became a villain that everyone in the martial arts world scorns."
When Qiao Feng said this, there was obvious confusion and sadness in his eyes.
A master like him, no matter how powerful his martial arts are, can't even figure out his own life experience, nor does he know who his enemies are. He feels like he has no place to use his strength.
This feeling was extremely painful, as if there was an invisible hand destroying his destiny, and Qiao Feng was powerless to stop it.
Li Ming saw Qiao Feng's emotions, and felt a bit of pity for this tragic figure, Qiao.
after a while……
Qiao Feng brought Li Ming to his temporary residence.
This was an inn in a remote location in the city with not many guests. Qiao Feng threw a silver ingot to the owner and immediately got some peace and quiet.
Li Ming followed Qiao Feng into the house. Lin Pingzhi and other disciples had already caught up and were waiting in the distance, not following.
squeak...
As soon as the door opened, the two walked into the room. Li Ming immediately saw the girl with pale lips, closed eyes, and dying on the bed.
I guess she must be Ah Zhu.
Although she is now in a coma and looks extremely haggard, she is still very beautiful, with her eyes and eyebrows filled with the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman.
"A'Zhu..."
When Qiao Feng closed the door and saw Ah Zhu's condition, he hurried over, touched her forehead with the back of his hand, and released a stream of true energy to check Ah Zhu's injuries. His heart sank.
I had just left for a while to get some information, but I didn't expect that Ah Zhu's injuries had become more serious and she was almost at the end of her life.
It seems that we can't delay too much longer. Even if Li Ming can't treat Ah Zhu's injuries, Qiao Feng will take her to break into Juxian Manor and ask Doctor Xue for help.
While thinking about this, Qiao Feng habitually injected his internal energy into Azhu.
With the help of Qiao Feng's powerful inner strength, Ah Zhu's eyelashes moved, she became slightly more awake, and her eyes barely opened a crack.
"Brother Qiao, you...are back, please don't abandon me...I feel like I'm going to die..."
There was fear in Ah Zhu's intermittent voice.
She was just a little girl after all, and she couldn't suppress her fear in the face of life and death.
"Don't worry, Ah Zhu, you will be fine."
As Qiao Feng spoke, he continued to use his internal energy to maintain Azhu's life.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ming looked around.
The room was a little messy, and Qiao Feng must have been staying here for a few days.
There was a distinct smell of medicine in the room, as well as some residual ginseng and other tonics, which must have been brought by Qiao Feng to prolong Azhu's life.
To be honest, with Ah Zhu's current condition, she is too weak to be nourished and would easily have problems. Qiao Feng really had no other choice but to help her prolong her life in this way.
Seeing that Ah Zhu was temporarily stable, Qiao Feng slowly gathered his internal energy and turned to look at Li Ming.
Although he was taking care of Ah Zhu just now, he had always paid some attention to Li Ming.
Seeing that he really didn't seem to have any ill intentions, I felt a lot more relieved.
"Master Li, look..."
Qiao Feng stood up and asked.
After hearing this, Li Ming sat down next to the bed.
He first took a look at Ah Zhu's condition, then snapped his fingers and released a wisp of true energy.
Just like Qiao Feng did before, he first checked Azhu's injuries from a distance.
Although Li Ming was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised.
Ah Zhu's injuries were indeed serious. She was hit by the powerful Vajra Palm of several old Shaolin fellows. Given the disparity in strength, she should have died long ago. It was Qiao Feng who tried every possible way to save her life until now.
Li Ming and Xuan Nan had fought each other before. There was also a disciple like Xuan Cheng in the martial arts hall, who had a deep understanding of Shaolin martial arts. He could even imagine how fierce that palm strike was through the injuries on Ah Zhu's body.
But then again, although the internal injuries in Ah Zhu's meridians were in a mess, they could still be treated. Not to mention Doctor Xue, who could help Ah Zhu recover with his superb medical skills and the use of medicine and stones.
If Di Yun and Yang Guo from his martial arts school were here, they would probably be able to help.
After all, they both possessed the mysterious Shenzhao Gong, which was specifically effective in treating internal injuries.
It’s just that his realm may still be low, so the healing speed will be slower, but there will be no problem in saving Ah Zhu’s life.
Since the Shenzhaojing can work, then Li Ming's own Changsheng Zaohuagong can be even more effective.
Li Ming explored around and understood the situation, and he felt more confident.
Next to him, Qiao Feng was still looking at Li Ming nervously, observing the changes in his facial expression, his heart in his throat.
"How is it? Is there any hope?"
Even when facing siege from powerful enemies, Qiao Feng had never been as nervous as he was now. He was eager to get a positive answer.
Li Ming did not disappoint him and nodded.
"Brother Qiao, rest assured. Miss Ah Zhu can still be saved. I will try it right away. Please stay calm and stay by my side."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng's face was immediately filled with joy and he nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay! Master Li, please do as you please. I will be by your side to protect you and will not disturb you at all."
"Master Li, if you need anything, or if you need my help, please let me know. I will do my best."
Li Ming nodded, took a deep breath, and then snapped his fingers again to release his internal force.
But this time, what was activated was not the free and easy internal force, but the longevity creation skill.
A wisp of transparent but vital internal energy twisted into a thread and spread towards Ah Zhu.
Li Ming still kept a distance from her and did not make direct contact with her, but the Qi thread in his hand showed no sign of disintegrating and soon connected to Ah Zhu.
Qiao Feng was watching from the side, and a look of amazement could not help but flash across his eyes.
The strength of Li Ming's internal energy was something that Qiao Feng had never seen in all his years of wandering the martial arts world.
Even his sworn brother Duan Yu couldn't do that.
As a warrior, it may be very simple to casually release a stream of true qi, but it would be very difficult to maintain delicate control of the true qi outside the body while slowly approaching like Li Ming did.
Soon, the vital energy contained in the Longevity Creation Technique was injected into Ah Zhu's meridians.
Once in contact, the immortality and creation power's miraculous vitality quickly nourished Ah Zhu's meridians and damaged parts of her body.
Feeling a surge of vital energy in her body, which seemed to bring her vitality back, Ah Zhu's pain was immediately relieved a lot, and she even felt a little comfortable.
The powerful vitality energy not only relieved her pain, but also repaired Ah Zhu's internal injuries at an extremely fast speed.
Qiao Feng was watching nervously at the side, and an expression of joy immediately appeared on his face.
Because he clearly saw that Ah Zhu's face, which had been pale just now, now had a healthy redness, as if her vitality was recovering rapidly.
Ah Zhu seemed to have quickly recovered her strength and opened her eyes completely. The look in her eyes was different from before, no longer weak and tired, but refocused.
Ah Zhu finally recovered from her drowsy state and looked at Li Ming in front of her with curiosity, her big eyes blinking.
While feeling surprised, Qiao Feng couldn't help but marvel.
He thought that Li Ming could treat Azhu's injuries, but he never thought that the efficiency would be so high and the effect would be so amazing!
Ah Zhu's injuries were so severe that even if a famous doctor like Doctor Xue were invited, it would probably take a long time to treat her.
But Li Ming actually had an effect as soon as he stretched out his hand. It was not an exaggeration to say that he could bring people back to health. What kind of miraculous healing method was this?
Qiao Feng had never heard of this.
Once again, he felt that the Master Li in front of him was full of mystery and he could not see through him.
The Changsheng Zaohua Gong continued to help Ah Zhu heal her wounds. After half an incense stick of time, even Li Ming felt a little tired, and then he slowly drew back his true energy.
The strand of true energy connecting him and Ah Zhu also gradually disappeared.
Li Ming let out a long sigh and at the same time reached out to support his forehead.
Although he had made some achievements in the Longevity Creation Technique, using it to treat Ah Zhu's serious injuries still made him feel a little tired.
All I can say is that the effect of this Longevity Creation Technique is incredible, and using it consumes a huge amount of one's energy, so it is not to be used casually.
Looking at Ah Zhu now, she is completely different from before.
Not only did her complexion regain its radiance, her eyes also became spirited, and she was even able to support herself by holding onto the edge of the bed with one hand and sit up a little.
"Azhu, don't move! Get some rest!"
This action frightened Qiao Feng, and he rushed over to push her back, and at the same time pulled the quilt up, signaling Ah Zhu to rest and recuperate first and not to move in a hurry.
Seeing how concerned Qiao Feng was, Ah Zhu blushed, with a hint of shyness and joy at the same time.
"Master Li, you have worked so hard! Qiao... I don't know what to say!"
Qiao Feng looked back at Li Ming, his gratitude overflowing with words, he didn't even know how to express it.
It can be seen now that Ah Zhu is basically out of danger. He will be recuperated for a period of time and should be able to gradually recover.
This is a favor from a great man, and Qiao Feng is a grateful person. He would feel guilty if he didn't express his gratitude.
Although he wanted to repay Li Ming, Qiao Feng thought about it carefully and felt that he really had no benefits to offer him at the moment.
He was no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and he had limited money... Besides, Qiao Feng believed that a person like Li Ming would not care about those superficial and vulgar things.
After thinking about it, Qiao Feng said solemnly.
"Master Li, I will definitely keep this favor in mind. If Master Li needs me to help you in the future, please feel free to ask. As long as it does not violate the moral principles of the martial arts world, I will definitely do my best and will not refuse!"
With Qiao Feng's words, Li Ming's lips curled up into a smile, thinking that his work was not in vain.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Miss Ah Zhu's injuries are still quite serious. She is no longer in danger of death, but she will need two or three more treatments before she can be completely stable."
After hearing this, Qiao Feng immediately became nervous.
"But don't worry, Brother Qiao. I will be able to continue healing Miss Ah Zhu after I recover for a while."
"Thank you, Master Li."
Qiao Feng didn't know how to express his gratitude.
Looking at Li Ming, a thought suddenly flashed through Qiao Feng's mind.
"Master Li, it is a great honor for Qiao to meet a hero like you who is both capable and kind-hearted. If you don't mind my bad reputation, Qiao is willing to become brothers with Master Li! What do you think?"
