CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 389: YOU REALLY HAVE TO HANG IN THERE~ (SECOND UPDATE)

Gu Yuan heard from Ginsengfruit that something had happened to Xie Xuzhi and didn’t believe it at all. If it were not Yun Ran’s little apprentice who spoke, he would have hit someone.

Ginsengfruit wasn’t surprised either, after all, he hadn’t believed it before.

"The Array just now was set by my master fighting against Rong Gu. You people of the Capital City have problems."

Seeing Ginsengfruit with a grave face, Gu Yuan’s expression also gradually became serious: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Uh-huh."

Gu Yuan took out an encrypted phone and made several calls in a row, but no one answered.

Watching as Gu Yuan’s complexion turned visibly pale at an alarming rate, he then took off running.

Ginsengfruit hesitated for a moment, then found an excuse to send Daoist Qingmu and the others away, before returning to the courtyard.

At this time, Dragon Spirit’s side was gradually surrounded by numerous water droplets, converging into a water dragon.

Yun Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief; this meant that the Dragon Core of the Azure Dragon had been subdued, and now all he needed was to absorb and devour it.

Then, Yun Ran drew dozens of Arrays compounded with Defense Talismans and Attack Talismans.

Now the Dragon Spirit’s defense and attack power were both zero; if someone took aim at him, they’d definitely hit their mark with each try.

"Host, there won’t be any problems with Xie Xuzhi, right..."

Dragon Spirit was already facing numerous difficulties trying to absorb the Azure Dragon’s Dragon Core, not to mention Xie Xuzhi who was just an ordinary person.

Yun Ran’s gaze was distant as he looked in the direction of the Capital City, and then he sighed: "There’s no helping it if he’s that unfortunate to be so hated.

Now he’s nearly been pickled by those Evil Techniques, if it weren’t for the fact that he is my Golden Master, there’s no way I would have gotten involved.

Luckily, I found a loophole and used the Azure Dragon Dragon Core that Rong Gu nurtured to break the Evil Technique she had cast on Xie Xuzhi before; otherwise, I would’ve been half dead."

Thinking about the ’scenes’ he had ’seen’ before, Yun Ran could only silently wish him good luck in his heart.

Looking at Yun Ran’s indifferent demeanor, Ginsengfruit suddenly felt that for someone entangled with the Life Plate, the influence on the Host wasn’t that significant after all.

It seemed that if it weren’t for the generous money and resources Xie Xuzhi had previously provided, he wouldn’t even receive such treatment. Tsk tsk tsk, how miserable.

Xie Xuzhi, who was now the object of Ginsengfruit’s sympathy, was lying contorted on the floor at this moment, his voice extremely weak after the cost of his agonizing screams.

Fortunately, before he was captured, he sensed something was wrong and held the Heavenly Thunder Pearl in his mouth.

Otherwise, even if he wasn’t turned into an object of dark yin energy, he would have bitten his tongue off due to the previous painful howls.

The Little Paperman in the corner, shivering with fear, noticed that the previously rampant Dragon Core had weakened a lot.

Only then did it cautiously approach and hesitantly asked, "Director Xie, are you feeling better?"

As soon as the Little Paperman got close, it saw Xie Xuzhi, who had been keeping his eyes tightly shut, suddenly open them wide.

Those eyes, with their entire eyeballs blackened, clearly showed signs of being invaded by yin energy and looked deeply malevolent.

And that breath of the Dragon Core was completely capable of tearing it apart easily, scaring the Little Paperman into quickly retreating several steps.

Xie Xuzhi blinked as if responding to the Little Paperman.

Now certain that Xie Xuzhi could hear, the Little Paperman flew back to him and cheered him on.

"The Master gave you the highly nourishing Dragon Core to save you; as long as you get through this, the yin curse on you will be cleared as well.

Apart from enduring some backlash pain on the fifteenth of every month, you’ll be just like a normal person, so you must pull through~"

After a while, Little Paperman detected the tremors of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, its simple and soft features immediately came to life.

Rushing to Xie Xuzhi’s side, it forcefully pried open his mouth and took out the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

Using all its might as if it was fighting for its life, Little Paperman finally managed to produce a spark in its palm and smashed it on the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

The nearly destroyed Heavenly Thunder Pearl, covered with Xie Xuzhi’s blood,

trembled again, and finally, with the power of the Heavenly Thunder, began to spin wildly.

Little Paperman watched with its eyes wide open as the Dragon Core energy that had been hovering nearby seemed to be locked in by a vortex.

Immediately afterward, with the help of the vortex, it surged crazily into Xie Xuzhi’s body.

The black energy in Xie Xuzhi’s eyes began to recede gradually, and the spells drawn with yin energy also started to slowly dissipate.

Over the course of the night, even a person as steadfast as Xie Xuzhi had the thought of giving up on life countless times.

Fortunately, he had managed to pull through, and although he was still disheveled, he had somewhat regained a human appearance.

With a "clink," the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, having exhausted the last bit of its energy, fell to the ground and broke in two.

Little Paperman held the pieces of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, almost the size of its own head, with a hint of sadness.

What a pity it was not made of flesh and blood, otherwise, tears would surely be falling from its eyes now.

Xie Xuzhi watched the scene in silence; he had seen magical artifacts destroyed in their efforts to protect him before,

but never had he felt such a stirring of emotion.

It was as if what lay broken on the floor was not an object, but a deceased old friend.

Xie Xuzhi’s throat had long been hoarse; trying to make even a slight sound was incredibly difficult.

It was at this moment, the usually unafraid of death and parting Xie Xuzhi, no longer the aloof Young Master Xie, turned into an ordinary person capable of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

He reached out and touched Little Paperman, who was mourning the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, comforting it without a word.

With a booming sound, the extremely sturdy basement was forcibly broken open from the outside, and light streamed in through the cracks.

Xie Xuzhi closed his eyes, took a moment to adjust, then opened them again.

Gu Yuan’s voice reached his ears: "Boss, Boss!"

Dressed in combat gear, Gu Yuan led the charge in.

Everyone felt a chill sweep through their bodies.

Xie Xuzhi lay on the ground covered in bloodstains, his plight as miserable as that of crippled beggars.

With his features twisted in rage, Gu Yuan cursed, "Those damned bastards, I’ll fight them to the end!!!"

While cursing, he yelled at the people behind him, "Where the hell is the doctor?!"

As the cursing ended, someone with a medical kit hurried over, and upon seeing Xie Xuzhi’s terrible condition, was so frightened that they almost lost their soul.

Subsequently, they began to perform urgent treatment on Xie Xuzhi in an orderly manner.

Holding the destroyed Heavenly Thunder Pearl, Little Paperman quietly retreated to the corner and watched the people coming and going.

Not until Xie Xuzhi was wrapped up like a mummy and carried out did it stick to the stretcher and follow.

On the island, Yun Ran, who had been healing and meditating all night, suddenly opened her eyes.

Taking out her Lifebound Magical Artifact, she looked puzzled as it began to convulse uncontrollably.
