Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

These Dragon Masters are completely on the side of the Dragon Lord.

"This Cheng Xiao is not only renowned within the Pill Refining Department, but there are also rumors that he can cure demonic possession!"

"That's already been debunked!"

"Whether it's true or not, we can wait and see. What if he really has a solution? That could cure Dragon Madness!"

"Fine, we're all here anyway. Even if we fail, we can still control the situation."

"If Cheng Xiao truly cures Long Kuang, he will be the most honored guest of the Chiming Clan!"

So the dragon masters all chose to observe from the sidelines, and Ni Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Cheng Xiao, you must succeed!

Ni Qing had a strange confidence in Cheng Xiao, which stemmed from the Dragon Girl's special attitude towards him.

Even towards the Vidyadharas and the Dragon Master, the Dragon Maiden remained indifferent, her arrogance commanding respect, yet she also sensed the Dragon Maiden's profound loneliness.

Cheng Xiao must have extraordinary abilities, otherwise why would the noble and proud Dragon Girl lose control of her emotions in front of him?

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Cheng Xiao stared intently at Dan Feng.

Why not use the [Horse] talisman to treat the Dragon Madness?

Cheng Xiao understood that Feng's descent into Dragon Madness was not due to reaching the limit of his lifespan, nor was it because he had taken the secret medicine passed down by the Medicine King.

It was her heart. Her heart was filled with rage, whipped by the blood of her own kind and the responsibility of the Dragon Lord.

[Horse] The talisman cannot cure the heart disease. What Cheng Xiao needs to do is to make Feng wake up.

He had many questions to ask and many things he wanted to help her with.

If we don't pull Feng back from purgatory, everything that follows will be meaningless.

"At this point, we should thank our father for the good things he left behind."

Cheng Xiao pointed his right hand together, and a drop of green water appeared in his hand, unnoticed by anyone.

The "Heart-Cleansing Mantra" is a very simple and unadorned thing; its only function is for my father to calm his mind and spirit.

Cheng Xiao had seen his father sitting in meditation with an incense burner and chanting a calming mantra more than once.

However, when facing demons, the [Heart-Cleansing Mantra] can unleash terrifying power.

Anyone who has lost their mind can be calmed down by using the calming mantra.

"Come on, Feng! If you don't wake up this time, I'll really make sure you get hurt!"

The two figures facing off vanished in an instant, turning into afterimages! In the blink of an eye, they were already upon each other!

In the eyes of the all-seeing world, Danfeng's movements were clearly visible, and Chengxiao effortlessly extended his finger to stab!

"Demons and monsters, get out of here!"

Water droplets from her fingertips splattered on Danfeng's forehead as Chengxiao and her figures intersected.

To outsiders, it appeared as if the two had exchanged a single blow in an instant, after which Danfeng fell silent.

Danfeng's body went limp and he lost consciousness. Chengxiao turned around and hugged him tightly.

"I guess I did fulfill my mission successfully!"

Cheng Xiao felt somewhat gratified; he had saved his friend!

A group of dragon masters rushed over, and Cheng Xiao did not stop them. What followed was a series of detailed physical examinations of Dan Feng.

During this time, Cheng Xiao took the opportunity to heal Ni Qing's injuries.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng Xiao! You truly are an extraordinary person!"

Ni Qing's eyes were filled with admiration; she respected all the martial prowess and special abilities Cheng Xiao had displayed.

But Cheng Xiao has always kept a low profile, giving the impression of a great hermit living in the city.

"It's alright. It's just that this time it's my fault. If I had been more assertive, perhaps Feng wouldn't have had to face all this on his own."

"Please don't say that! The matter of upholding the Dharma has nothing to do with you. Your assistance is already the greatest kindness you can show!"

"How can my friends' affairs be none of my business?"

While Cheng Xiao was chatting, the group of Dragon Masters came to a surprising conclusion.

"It's gone! Dragon's blood, which was boiling with intense heat during his rampage, has cooled down!"

"His mind is clear and his spirit is stable—it's true! Long Kuang has actually recovered!"

The Dragon Masters cheered like children, some of them already looking at Cheng Xiao with burning eyes.

"Ah, as expected, trouble has come knocking."

Cheng Xiao sighed helplessly and strode towards Dan Feng.

"Can I check her out? She's overworked; I'm afraid it might leave lasting effects."

How could the Dragon Masters refuse? In their eyes, Cheng Xiao was a divine physician unlike any other before or since!

Cheng Xiao picked up Danfeng and poured the power of the [Horse] talisman into her body, repairing her damaged meridians and overdrawn body.

After the power of the horse traveled through his body, Danfeng naturally woke up.

"Riding...riding the carefree..."

"You're awake? Do you realize you almost made a terrible mistake?"

"Hmm...I know...Although I've lost all my reason, I'm still aware of what's happening in the outside world..."

"At the time, I thought I had really transformed into a dragon! That I could freely soar through the universe!"

Cheng Xiao said irritably:

"Transform into a dragon? I'd say a monstrous dragon is more like it. You almost killed me!"

"No way! I can't beat you at all!"

The dragon masters were dumbfounded as they listened to the conversation between the two.

Although they knew that the Dragon Girl sneaked out every day to play with Cheng Xiao, they never expected that their relationship would turn out this way.

Is this still the unruly Dragon Lord they know?

As Danfeng regained consciousness, tears streamed down her face once more.

The Azure Dragon Palm Water, and Danfeng's tears flowed endlessly like the sea, soaking Chengxiao's sleeves.

"Cheng Xiao... my people... I failed to protect them! They all..."

Cheng Xiao patted her head: "It's okay, at least we found it earlier, otherwise more people would have suffered."

"Don't worry, I have the ability to save some lives, but I can't do anything about those who have truly died."

"Really?!"

"Absolutely true."

Danfeng led Chengxiao and the Dragon Masters into the secret chamber, where what they saw filled them with anger and horror.

"Damn it! Is this Taoran a beast?! Is he even a member of the Vidyadhara clan? Are we Vidyadharas just kept in containers like livestock?"

Several dragon masters punched and kicked the unconscious Tao Ran, completely disregarding the force they used.

Cheng Xiao saw that most of the Chi Mings were still breathing, and knew that there was still room for the situation to be salvaged.

"Open the jar carefully. The liquid inside is to maintain life and reduce oxidation. Don't spill it!"

The group began to act. Danfeng took the initiative to control the liquid to ensure the stability of the lives of the Chiming clansmen, and then Chengxiao used the [Horse] talisman to treat them one by one.

With each recovery of vital signs, the eyes of the crowd shone even brighter.

"A miracle doctor! He's truly a miracle doctor!"

"Mr. Cheng Xiao! Please be sure to treat us as honored guests! We will certainly give you the best treatment!"

Danfeng, standing to the side, also had a bright look in her eyes. She stared intently at Cheng Xiao, as if she wanted to remember this man's appearance forever.

Of the twenty-six Vidyadharas, four are missing and confirmed dead, while three others have lost vital signs and are beyond cure.

Despite this, nineteen members of the tribe were saved, which was a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune!

The Vidyad clan can no longer bear the loss of so many members; every single one lost is a real loss, and the population cannot be increased!

Danfeng first glanced coldly and disdainfully at the unconscious Taoran, then turned to look at Chengxiao:

"Cheng Xiao, you're very strong, aren't you?"

"Me? I'm just average."

"That swordsman named Kagami-ryu is also very strong. I know I can't beat her. Did you train her?"

"I'd say half of it, we both have the same master."

"Okay! I'll become stronger too! Stronger than her!"

"Then you must be careful to cultivate your mind, lest you fall into dragon madness again because of emotional problems."

"I know! Don't underestimate me!"

Danfeng was somewhat exasperated, but she regained her resolve.

"I will definitely become very, very strong! My memories tell me that I will be incredibly powerful when I grow up! But I must become even stronger!"

"Because... I don't want to be powerless anymore..."

Danfeng clenched his fists, his mood somewhat somber, but his words and inner conviction remained exceptionally firm.

Cheng Xiao pressed her head down again:

"Keep it up, I'll help you."

"It's a deal!"
