Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

Just as Lin Bei was preparing to give the other party a quick death,

Suddenly, a burst of rapid gunfire erupted from the other end of the passage.

Then several bright red blood plum blossoms bloomed on Lin Bei's chest.

However, it was not Lin Bei who was injured.

Instead, it was Ashina Jiro, who was already certain to die, who took the bullet for him.

The bloodstain on Lin Bei's chest was the blood that splattered onto him after a musket bullet pierced Ashina Jiro's body.

A moment later, the sound of the musket firing stopped.

The narrow passage was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and smoke from incomplete combustion of the gunpowder.

"Tap tap tap..."

A series of footsteps sounded, and a squad of musketeers carrying long-handled muskets emerged from the smoke, followed by a man dressed in black.

He looked at Ashina Jiro lying in Lin Bei's arms, his voice full of ruthlessness.

"Jiro Ashina, the master of the family knows things like a god."

"I knew you weren't entirely loyal to him, so I was sent here to take your life at the crucial moment."

"As expected, you were clearly ordered to stop the intruders."

"But now they have suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the invaders."

"I suspect you've been colluding with the invaders all along, trying to sabotage Oda's plans."

Upon hearing the man in black's words, Lin Bei understood why a squad of musketeers had suddenly appeared and why every shot had hit Jiro.

He immediately found it somewhat amusing, but at the same time, he felt sorry for Ashina Jiro.

Despite Ashina Jiro's desperate fight to stop him, he was even willing to sacrifice his own life in the end.

But in the end, he was betrayed by his comrade.

And the reason given is utterly ridiculous.

They even suspected that Jiro Ashina was in cahoots with him.

Upon hearing the man in black's words, Jiro Ashina, whose life was not yet completely over, was so enraged that he experienced a final burst of energy before death.

He forced himself to turn around, looking at his former teammates with disbelief.

"It was Oda-sama who sent you to kill me."

Upon hearing this, the man in black snorted coldly.

"snort!"

"That's what you deserve to die!"

Upon hearing the man in black's words, Ashina Jiro seemed to understand something, his eyes turning deathly still.

"Is this how Oda-sama sees me?!"

"As expected, nobles are so ruthless!"

Only then did Ashina Jiro finally understand what Lin Bei meant when he said, "Blind loyalty is not loyalty, and pedantic righteousness is not true loyalty."

The loyalty he cherished as his life was as light as a feather in the eyes of Oda, who could discard it at any time.

He turned around with difficulty, grabbed Lin Bei's hand, and tears of blood streamed from his eyes.

"Lin Beijun, I was wrong, I regret it!"

"My mistake was trusting Oda too much."

"I regret not heeding your repeated advice."

"I'm about to die."

"Only now can we see the true face of Oda, the head of the family."

"But it was too late. Oda, the head of the Oda family, is ruthless."

"Since he's going to kill me, he certainly won't let my parents off the hook either, in order to eliminate any future threats."

"Lin Beijun, you'd better run!"

"I will hold off the pursuers here."

"I only ask one thing of you: after you leave, take my parents with you. Just leave the area under the jurisdiction of the Oda family and send them to a remote rural area."

"I have nothing to repay you with except this miraculous medicine that Oda gave me after I saved him, a medicine with no side effects."

After saying that, Ashina Jiroichiro trembled as he took out two thumb-sized, well-preserved dark green vials from his chest.

He handed one of the bottles to Lin Bei and then swallowed the other bottle along with the medicine.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he broke free from Lin Bei's support, picked up the short knife on the ground, and tried to stop the pursuers behind Lin Bei.

"To burn one's last breath?"

Looking at Ashina Jiro, who was radiant after swallowing the so-called miracle drug.

Lin Bei immediately recognized the effects of the so-called miracle drug.

It is draining Jiro Ashina's last breath.

Just like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique in martial arts novels.

Once used, it's a suicidal move; even a god couldn't save you.

But when Lin Bei saw Ashina Jiro blooming with the last flower of life in front of him, he smiled.

That smile.

Since it was Ashina Jiro who realized his mistake and returned to the right path,

It was also a joke that he was about to have another trustworthy partner.

Even a god couldn't save him?

Then Lin Bei will come to the rescue.

She pulled Ashina Jiro back and placed her palm on his head.

"Yang energy, let me see your limits!"

Just as Ashina Jiro, who had been pulled back by Lin Bei, was about to speak, he suddenly felt a huge and vibrant power surge into him from the top of his head.

One, two, three!

Ten portions, twenty portions, thirty portions!

With thirty units of yang energy, even if Lin Bei's body were cut in two, he could reconnect it.

However, once it entered Ashina Jiro's body, it was like entering a bottomless pit, with absolutely no effect.

Lin Bei knew that this was not because the yang energy was useless.

Rather, it was because Jiro Ashina was seriously injured.

First, his internal organs were almost roasted by the true fire of the sun, then he was hit by more than a dozen muskets, and finally he drank the divine medicine, burning away his last bit of life force.

This is why Jiro Ashina is strong enough.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have died on the very first step.

Now, thirty units of yang energy are simply not enough to keep Jiro Ashina alive.

However, Lin Bei's personality is different from most people's.

He is a very willful person.

Although he also weighs the pros and cons.

But once he sets his mind on doing something, even if it yields no reward and might even bankrupt him, he'll do it.

But he will still do it to the end without hesitation.

Just like it is now.

Ashina Jiro can die.

But he can only be killed by himself.

We must not die at the hands of these scoundrels.

In order to revive Jiro Ashina, Lin Bei, who used to carefully conserve his yang energy, now threw it all into Jiro Ashina's body without a second thought.

There's no other reason, just one word.

Excessive Yang energy leads to willfulness.

The two hundred portions of yang energy he obtained from refining the Eye-Ear Demon, plus the fifty portions of yang energy he had previously accumulated.

Excluding the dozen or so portions consumed in the previous battles.

Now, more than 230 units of yang energy are being poured into Ashina Jiro's body as if they were free.

Fifty servings!

Sixty servings!

……

One hundred copies!

It wasn't until he used up one hundred units of Yang energy that Lin Bei sensed a new life force emanating from Ashina Jiro's body.

However, the new life force is too weak now, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.

He didn't stop.

One hundred and ten servings!

One hundred and twenty copies!

……

One hundred and fifty copies!

Lin Bei finally stopped at this point.

Lin Bei investigated carefully.

Lin Bei discovered that although Ashina Jiro's life force was as weak as an infant's, it had at least stabilized.

Ashina Jiro was pulled back from the brink of death by Lin Bei.

And it may even turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Because of the infusion of a large amount of yang energy.

The internal organs of Ashina Jiro, which had been roasted and then shattered, were all reshaped by the yang energy. Even his severed arm grew back under the infusion of yang energy.
