C4965 A Debt of Gratitude!
It was because his injuries were too severe. Not to mention standing up, even moving a little would be extremely difficult.
A slight movement would cause the injuries on his body to be aggravated, making him feel so much pain that he wished he was dead.
After only moving a little, he was in so much pain that he grimaced and his face turned pale. Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.
Bing Feng saw this and felt her heart ache. Zhou Kuang's injuries were most likely caused by protecting her. At the same time, she found it funny.
Zhou Kuang was a strong person and had a very stubborn temper. How could he tolerate such a miserable state?
Seeing this, Bing Feng was also shocked and hurriedly pushed him back.
One had to know that Zhou Kuang was a cultivator of the Fourth Calamity. He had the bloodline of half-monsters and his strength was extraordinary, but he was easily pushed back by Bing Feng.
It could be seen how serious the injuries on his body were.
"I..."
Zhou Kuang was about to speak, but his wound was aggravated. He was in so much pain that his eyes were crooked and his mouth was slanted.
Bing Feng felt her heart ache and hurriedly said, "Elder Kuang, we're fine for now. He saved our lives. His name is Chen Xiao."
After a while, Zhou Kuang finally recovered from his shock. He looked over and said, "Chen Xiao? I don't think I've heard of such a person before."
He had an impression of Chen Xiao. Previously, at the Ice Marrow Spring, he had fought with him twice and was injured by him.
He was slippery and could leave with a single strike. He would not linger and was very difficult to deal with.
Not long ago, under the lava lake of the Extreme Earth Flame Valley, Chen Xiao had killed two cultivators of the Three Tribulations of the Heavenly Flame Sect by himself. His strength was not ordinary.
Now, he had already broken through to the Three Tribulations of Immortality. Zhou Kuang vaguely remembered that when he first saw Chen Xiao, he was only at the First Tribulation of Immortality.
In less than twenty years, he had advanced by leaps and bounds in the Divine Pagoda's space. He had broken through two small realms, and he could be considered a monster that caused people to be alarmed.
Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "I'm just a rogue cultivator. Elder Zhou Kuang has never heard of me. It's normal."
Zhou Kuang stared at him and sized him up from top to bottom. "You saved us because you repay your grievances with kindness. What is your motive?"
He did not think that the other party would suddenly show kindness and save them.
After all, even he would find it extremely difficult to face the Three Eyed Green Lion. If he did not have any requests, why would he take such a huge risk?
Chen Xiao was expressionless as he replied, "I have two goals. One is to form a good relationship with the Demon God Hall. Two is to save you two. After that, we will travel together and bypass the Dragon Confining Forest. That will make it a bit more certain."
Hearing this, Zhou Kuang nodded. His answer was considered to be an acknowledgement of Chen Xiao's answer.
"You are very honest. You speak quickly and I like it. Cough, cough ~"
As he spoke, Zhou Kuang couldn't help but cough again, and a mouthful of black blood was coughed out.
When the Ice Phoenix Fairy saw this, she immediately supported him and fed him the healing pill.
After Zhou Kuang swallowed a large amount of pills, his complexion became a little better.
He raised his hands with difficulty and cupped his fists, saying, "Chen Xiao, this old man is here. Thank you. From now on, you are a friend of my Demon God Hall."
The Ice Phoenix Fairy at the side curled her lips, "Elder Kuang, I've already said this."
"Ah? Is that so? Haha." Zhou Kuang laughed dryly and scratched his head.
Chen Xiao said with a smile, "Elder Kuang personally speaking is naturally different. This brat will remember it."
Zhou Kuang laughed loudly with a carefree expression, "Good boy, don't worry. This old man is also not an ungrateful person. You saved my life and my disciple's life. This debt of gratitude, this old man understands. It's a pity that …"
As if recalling something unpleasant, Zhou Kuang's expression darkened.
"What is a pity?" The Ice Phoenix Fairy asked.
Zhou Kuang had a helpless expression as he sighed, "In the last moment, Yan Can abandoned me and ran away alone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured so heavily."
"Is that so?"
The Ice Phoenix's eyes flashed, and she did not continue to talk about it.
In the last moment, Yan Can abandoned the two of them. Although he was very shameless, there was a reason for it. After all, there was only one life.
The Ice Phoenix was open-minded and would not take it to heart.
"Since it's an unpleasant matter, don't mention it. Elder Kuang, you can rest assured and recuperate. I am here."
Bing Feng took a deep breath and comforted him.
Zhou Kuang nodded and looked at Chen Xiao again. He said in a deep voice, "Little brother Chen Xiao, don't worry. You saved my life and my junior apprentice-nephew's life. This is a great favor. My Demon God Hall will definitely repay your kindness. If anyone dares to oppose you in this space of the Divine Pagoda, it will be the same as opposing me. We will not stop until one of us dies."
"I'm the same. I will never forget the kindness of saving my life." Fairy Bing Feng echoed.
Firstly, the two of them were indeed people who knew how to repay their gratitude.
Secondly, they could use this opportunity to stabilize Chen Xiao.
"En, let's recuperate first. We will probably have to stay underground for a very long time."
Chen Xiao said indifferently.
"This old fellow is really sincere. Not bad. You saved the two of them, so it is not a loss."
In the Sea of Soul, Xi Luo said indifferently.
"Heh, it was done conveniently."
"I can only say that your luck is really explosive. You just happened to bump into such a good opportunity. The most sullen person is Yan Can. At the last moment, he abandoned Bing Feng and the other two and fled for his life alone. Although Bing Feng and the other two did not hold a grudge on the surface, they must have a knot in their hearts. From then on, they will probably be on opposite sides and never be able to walk together again."
Xi Luo laughed loudly, gloating over his misfortune.
For Chen Xiao, accomplishing this had reached his goal of getting close to the Demon God Hall.
It had to be said that Chen Xiao's luck was not bad.
Along the way, he first discovered a large pile of demonic beast corpses, which was very strange. After that, he followed the traces of the battles along the way and followed them all the way.
In this way, not only did the Ice Phoenix and Yan Can help him clear the way, they also allowed him to seize the best opportunity to save the Ice Phoenix and Yan Can, allowing them to owe him a huge favor.
To achieve this, there was no lack of time, place, and people.
"Alright." Zhou Kuang nodded.
At that moment, the Ice Phoenix Fairy exchanged a few more words with Zhou Kuang before sitting down on the spot and quietly recovering from her injuries.
In the blink of an eye, a year passed.
Dozens of miles underground, in a hidden barrier, Chen Xiao and the other two were hiding.
Hei Zi's huge body was lying on the ground, and Chen Xiao was leaning on it. It was very comfortable.
Not far away, the blood light on Zhou Kuang's body was rising. Zhou Tian was circulating, gradually reaching the realm of perfection, and he was slowly recovering from his injuries.
"It seems that he has already recovered 60 to 70% of his injuries. His recovery ability is not bad, but his realm has also fallen by a large amount."
Chen Xiao glanced at him and thought to himself.
"It is already extremely lucky that he is still alive. It is all thanks to the Heavenmend Pill. Now that he has fallen by a small realm and become a Tribulation Realm cultivator, he is the same as you."
In his soul sea, Xi Luo joked, and he was happy to see it happen.
"After suffering such a heavy injury, if Zhou Kuang did not have the divine medicine to help him recover, he would probably be trapped in the Tribulation Realm for the rest of his life and would not be able to advance at all."
Chen Xiao thought to himself.
"Yes, isn't that just right?"
"Heh."
Chen Xiao smiled without denying it.
