The Prodigal Son

Chapter 144 Crisis

Night falls.

Qin Yu circulated his inner energy in the cave, following the techniques recorded on the stone slab.

Although this Transformation Yuan Technique is very miraculous, no one knows whether it is real or fake.

Nan Que'er and Xu Wan were both a little worried, so they also called Dong Liu to come and protect Qin Yu.

Granny Sang, who was originally supposed to be kneeling in front of the graves, was also brought to Qin Yu's side.

Qin Yu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and circulated his internal energy in reverse order through his meridians, following the instructions on the stone slab.

As his inner energy circulated, Qin Yu suddenly felt his body become very thirsty.

At this moment, Qin Yu was like a person trapped in the desert, desperately needing a spring to quench his thirst.

Without hesitation, Qin Yu reached out and pressed his hand firmly against Sang Po's dantian.

In an instant, an unintentional force surged into Granny Sang's body through Qin Yu's palm.

This force greedily channeled Sangpo's power into Qin Yu's body, nourishing him and causing him to let out a comfortable groan.

Xu Wan and Nan Que'er stood to one side.

Hearing Qin Yu's groans, Xu Wan's heart tightened, and she quickly whispered to Nan Que'er, "What's wrong with him?"

"What are you so nervous about!"

Nan Que'er remained calm. "Judging from his expression, this is definitely not a bad thing! You're a martial artist too, can't you see that?"

Xu Wan's face stiffened, and she said guiltily, "I was just worried something might happen to him."

"What could possibly happen to him?" Nan Que'er said dismissively, then looked at Xu Wan with a mocking expression. "I heard you two used to be like enemies, why are you so concerned about him now?"

"I……"

Xu Wan's face flushed, and she glared at Nan Que'er with wide eyes. "What's wrong with me caring about him? He's the only son of the Qin family. His grandfather has been incredibly kind to my siblings and me. If something happens to him, how can I explain it to his grandfather?"

Nan Que'er smiled teasingly, then gestured towards Dong Liu beside her, "If anyone should be giving an explanation, it should be him! What are you going to explain?"

"Mind your own business!"

Xu Wan glared at Nan Que'er, embarrassed and annoyed, and quickly turned her face away.

Seeing Xu Wan's appearance, Nan Que'er couldn't help but giggle.

She was a woman too; how could she not see through Xu Wan's little schemes?

Didn't Qi Dachui say that they almost became husband and wife before?

In this situation, what is there for her to be ashamed of?

While Nan Que'er was secretly amused, Qin Yu was still drawing power from Sang Po's body.

As her power was drained, Granny Sang aged rapidly. She desperately wanted to control the power within her body to fight back, but the power within her was completely beyond her control, constantly being swept away from her body by Qin Yu's power.

As Sangpo's power flowed continuously into his body, Qin Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.

The initial feeling of comfort had disappeared, replaced by a dull ache.

He felt his meridians being stretched open, as if trying to draw more power.

However, his meridians were not strong enough, and as the force continued to stretch them, his whole body began to ache.

"not good!"

Qin Yu suddenly realized what was happening.

My physique and meridians are too weak!

A massive amount of power kept surging into his body, and his body was about to be unable to withstand it.

Realizing something was wrong, Qin Yu quickly tried to stop his practice.

However, a large amount of power that did not belong to him surged into his body, completely suppressing his own power.

At this moment, it felt as if two armies were fighting inside his body.

The army representing his power was defeated under the enemy's relentless attacks.

Moreover, reinforcements from the other side kept arriving.

Two forces were constantly tearing at his meridians and dantian, making his body feel like it was about to explode.

"what……"

The immense pain caused Qin Yu's face to gradually contort, and he uncontrollably let out agonizing screams.

Xu Wan's heart tightened, and she rushed to Qin Yu's side. "What's wrong?"

"what……"

The excruciating pain rendered Qin Yu unable to speak; he could only scream in agony.

But his body was no longer under his control and was constantly drawing power from Sangpo's body.

"What's wrong? Say something!"

Xu Wan was extremely anxious and subconsciously reached out to pull Qin Yu.

The moment Xu Wan's body touched Qin Yu, a powerful force surged from Qin Yu's body, causing Xu Wan to lean back.

"Oh no! He's probably absorbed too much power! His body can't take it anymore!"

Nan Que'er was the first to react, yelling at Dong Liu, "Separate them!"

Dong Liu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Qin Yu's hand, and tried to pull his hand away from Sang Po's dantian.

However, Qin Yu's hand was like a magnet, firmly attached to Sang Po's dantian.

Dong Liu even felt a wisp of power seep into his body through Qin Yu's hand, trying to draw upon his strength.

What domineering power!

Dong Liu was terrified and quickly circulated his inner energy to repel the force. As he withdrew his hand, he suddenly slammed his palm into Qin Yu's palm.

With the overwhelming power of Dong Liu, Qin Yu finally removed his hand from Sang Po's dantian.

But Qin Yu's pain did not disappear.

"what……"

Qin Yu collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing violently, veins bulging on his forehead, and streaks of blood appearing on his face.

It was as if his body was about to be torn apart.

"You little bastard, you'd better hold on!"

Dong Liu let out a low roar, placed a palm against Qin Yu's back, and sent his true energy into Qin Yu's body, trying to suppress the two forces that were constantly surging within Qin Yu's body with his own strength.

But just a moment later, Dong Liu withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, his fingertips trembling slightly, his face solemn!

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Xu Wan's voice trembled as she looked at Dong Liu with great nervousness.

Dong Liu took a deep breath, his voice heavy as a thousand-pound boulder, "His meridians were severely damaged by the sudden surge of power. If I were to inject more true energy to forcibly suppress the power within him, he would either die or become a cripple with his meridians severed..."

His situation is somewhat similar to Qi Dachui's, but it is more serious.

What?

Upon hearing Dong Liu's words, Xu Wan felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her, almost overwhelming her.

After struggling to regain his composure, he shouted with bloodshot eyes, "Save his life first!"

Can't die!

We absolutely cannot let Qin Yu die!

Dong Liu clenched his fist and shook his head, saying, "Severed meridians, worse than death! That kind of living is more painful than dying!"

It's worse than death...

These four words were like ice picks, piercing deep into the hearts of Xu Wan and Nan Que'er. The two of them trembled at the same time, and all the color drained from their faces.

Nan Que'er looked up at Qin Yu, who was convulsing in pain on the ground. Her expression was extremely complicated, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but that hesitation was quickly replaced by determination.

Xu Wan pondered for a moment, then a resolute look flashed across her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can take care of him for the rest of my life, but I can't let him die!"

As Xu spoke, Xu Wan suddenly raised her hand, trying to suppress the power within Qin Yu's body with her own strength.

"Wait!"

Nan Que'er grabbed Xu Wan's hand and said in a deep voice, "You all go out first, leave him to me! I can save him!"

"real?"

Xu Wan grasped Nan Que'er's hand as if she had grabbed a lifeline.

"What time is it! Stop talking nonsense!"

Nan Que'er suddenly raised her voice, urgently saying, "If you don't want anything to happen to him, get out of here right now! Stay far away and don't let anyone disturb us! If we delay any longer, no one can save him!"
