Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 84 Jiang Nannan Died Yet Again
Hot blood splattered on Xu Sanshi's face, and a force pushed him away, causing him to roll several times on the ground, even though he had given up resisting.

Before he could get up from the ground, another body pressed down on him, and warm blood flowed from the other person's body, splattering onto him.

Only now did Xu Sanshi realize that apart from the pain he felt while rolling on the ground after being pushed away, he had no other pain or injuries.

Lin Nuo's sword... did not land on him.

So, who blocked it for him?

There is only one answer.

After Xu Sanshi switched her back to Shrek Academy's team, Jiang Nannan was stunned and immediately looked up at the spot where she had been just a second ago.

There, only a tall figure holding a giant shield remained, his back to her.

Perhaps it was because Xu Sanshi firmly assured her during the meeting that day that he would protect her that Jiang Nannan felt at ease and accepted the dangerous mission of harassing enemy territory.

Because she knew that Xu Sanshi would definitely protect her and wouldn't let anything happen to her.

She disliked Xu Sanshi and didn't want to say a word to him, but even Jiang Nannan herself had to admit that Xu Sanshi was really very attentive to her.

No matter how much I scolded him or how harshly I treated him, he cherished me with all his patience for years on end.

She didn't know when, but a trace of trust had grown in her heart, a trust in Xu Sanshi that she herself hadn't even realized she had developed. That's why she accepted the task and entrusted her back to Xu Sanshi with peace of mind.

But she forgot.

The Sun and Moon Team was not the weak team they had encountered before. Facing teams with only one or two Soul Kings at their strongest, no matter how reckless Xu Sanshi was, he wouldn't destroy himself.

But the Sun and Moon team is different. After Jiang Nannan was brought back to the team, Xu Sanshi had not thought about what she would have to face.

I can't even imagine it.

Now she saw it with her own eyes: the giant sword that had made her feel the aura of death was slowly falling from the sky, about to strike Xu Sanshi on the head.

Jiang Nannan's pupils dilated, and a suffocating panic suddenly rose in her heart.

"no, do not want……"

Without a second thought, she used her teleportation skill to block in front of Xu Sanshi, using her back to shield him from Lin Nuo's sword. With her last bit of strength, she pushed his tall body away.

The sword of judgment sliced ​​through her body like tofu, and a large amount of blood spurted out, splashing onto Xu Sanshi's face and body. Her body then collapsed limply onto Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi only came to his senses when Jiang Nannan's body fell on top of him.

He had prepared himself for death, but unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Jiang Nannan risked her life to pull him back from the brink of death.

"No no no...no!!" Xu Sanshi's hands trembled as he held Jiang Nannan's gradually cooling body in his arms, tears and snot streaming uncontrollably from his nose. He sat on the ground and cried like a child.

"Nannan, Nannan... don't scare me, why are you being so silly!"

“You… saved me… once, and now, I’m returning the favor to you…” Jiang Nannan’s eyes were filled with complex emotions as she looked at Xu Sanshi’s grief-stricken appearance.

If they had met in a different way, perhaps she really would have fallen in love with Xu Sanshi. But now, it's too late to say anything.

Jiang Nannan's small hand, held in Xu Sanshi's palm, fell limply to the ground. Her last breath of life dissipated completely. Lin Nuo's sword had almost torn her internal organs to shreds, leaving her with no chance of survival.

"Nannan, Nannan!!" Xu Sanshi held Jiang Nannan tightly in his arms, the tearing pain tormenting his heart.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and he stared intently at Lin Nuo as he panted heavily.

"Sun, Moon, Empire!!"

"Ouch—" Lin Nuo cried out, clutching the Sword of Judgment and feigning fear, "Why are you yelling so loudly? Don't you have any manners? I'm really annoyed with you!"

This wave of sarcastic remarks not only made Xu Sanshi extremely popular, but also made Bei Bei, Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in the audience extremely popular, their eyes bloodshot and panting heavily, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You actually killed someone in the arena!" Ma Xiaotao roared through gritted teeth, her eyes blazing with fury.

"Wasn't it him who said he was going to kill me first? It was you guys who were going to kill me in the competition, I was just acting in self-defense! He was going to kill me, so of course I had to use my full strength. I used my full strength, so how could I stop?" Lin Nuo said righteously, holding the Sword of Judgment.

"Besides, my sword strike was originally only meant to seriously injure this turtle. I didn't intend to kill her. This rabbit teleported out of my range and came looking for death. Can you blame me for her death?"

"If there's any problem, go find the referee. He couldn't save anyone, so can you blame me for being too heavy-handed?"

Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo: ...

When Lin Nuo called on him, his face immediately turned green, because Lin Nuo was right. In addition to ensuring the fairness of the competition, the most important responsibility of the referee is to protect the safety of the contestants.

If injuries or fatalities occur on the field, the greatest responsibility lies with the referee.

Lin Nuo's words were like putting him on the hot seat.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Ma Xiaotao and the others, in addition to still hating Lin Nuo, also looked at Huang Jinxu with angry eyes.

Why didn't you save them?!

Huang Jinxu was completely numb.

Isn't being a referee just being a mascot? In every previous tournament, people have died. And over the years, Shrek Academy has killed the most people. If we really want to hold someone accountable, Shrek is the number one Class A war criminal.

But could Huang Jinxu say such a thing?
If he had said that, he would probably have seven more hoofprints on his back tomorrow, and die from being trampled by a soul beast.

Regardless, Lin Nuo's words successfully absolved him of most of his problems. Xu Sanshi was the first to shout for a fight, so it was understandable that he went all out. Jiang Nannan's death was also because she suddenly jumped out, catching Lin Nuo off guard and leaving him no time to change his tactics.

Lin Nuo did a good job on the surface, so they couldn't find any fault with him no matter how hard they tried.

As for your statement that Shrek people are never reasonable?
Hehehe, that's when no one can deal with them. They're so arrogant and domineering that they can act without reason and take Shrek's reasoning as the real reasoning.

But if I, Lao Jing, and Lao Ye stand in front of you, Xuanzi, and you dare to be unreasonable, I will cut you in two, one half into the Dao and the other half into reason!

Dare to breathe on me? I'll twist your head off!
