Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 177 You are lucky

Pfft!
As Zhao Zhen's vision went black, his body collapsed to the ground.

Behind Zhao Zhen, Ono Noriyoshi's figure slowly solidified from the shadows.

He flicked the blood off his longsword, a look of relief flashing in his eyes.

Swish!
A gentle breeze blew by, and Tang Clan Leader's figure appeared before everyone.

"Old Zhao!!"

Lu Jin's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush forward and fight Ono Noriyoshi to the death, but the next second he was stopped by Tang Sect Master raising his hand.

"There's no need to go; he's already dead."

Upon hearing this, Ono Noriyoshi smiled.

"You risked being poisoned by my pill to shake me off, just so you could sneak up and ambush Zhao Zhen?"

"good."

Ono Noriyoshi nodded, his eyes showing no fear of death, only an almost numb calm.

"This so-called ten-on-ten battle is just a setup, a setup to lull Zhao Zhen into a false sense of security?"

"Yes, from the moment we started climbing the mountain, we never thought we would come down alive."

Ono Noriyoshi then nodded.

"Is it really necessary for you to go to this extent for Zhao Zhen?"

"Master Tang, in a sense, we are all the same kind of people."

We both know very well that assassins are essentially consumables.

This applies to me and everyone else at Mount Hiei, but for me, there is one person who is different.

"Who?"

“My disciple, Wakasa Shohei.”

The Tang Sect Master remained silent, simply watching as the Dan Shi between Ono Noriyoshi's brows gradually solidified.

Dan Shi is essentially a strange poison that causes indescribable pain when it takes effect.

Even seasoned Tang Clan disciples cannot endure this pain, so after failing to cultivate the Dan Shi technique, most of them will ask their companions for a way to relieve their suffering.

Noriyoshi Ono did not wail. He simply stood there calmly, without making any other movements except for a slight furrow in his brow.

"That guy was an excellent disciple. Even though he secretly wanted to take root in this land in a different way, he chose to hide all his inner thoughts because of my willfulness as his master."

To be honest, it was I, as his teacher, who wronged him.

To die on the battlefield was my lifelong wish, but they shouldn't have done it this way.

Although he was an enemy, I must admit that he truly amazed all of us.

Before this, no one expected that he would single-handedly drive us to this desperate situation.

Zhuang Bingwei once said, "They are friends. Since that's the case, then let this so-called friend of ours...go to hell with us..."

The poison of Dan Shi began to spread throughout Ono Noriyoshi's body.

At this moment, under the corrosive influence of the poison, Ono Noriyoshi's entire body began to appear in an extremely distorted state.

Xu Xin frowned, wanting to step forward and give Ono Noriyoshi a quick death, but was stopped by Tang Sect Master's wave.

"Just watch!"

Xu Xin turned his head and looked at his sect leader with some confusion.

"You will also have to try to inherit Dan Shi in the future, and see the whole process of Dan Shi taking effect with your own eyes. This will help you in your future cultivation of Dan Shi."

Xu Xin was slightly taken aback, but in the end he didn't say anything more. He and Yang Lie watched quietly as Ono Noriyoshi's wails gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely.

At the same time, Lu Jin was desperately channeling his true qi into Zhao Zhen's body.

This was a method his master taught him. Although it was far less effective than the triple regeneration method, it could at least provide some therapeutic effect.

Lu Huizhong slowly stepped forward, and after merely bending down to examine Zhao Zhen's injuries, a complex look flashed in her eyes. "Give up, his heart has been pierced, there's no saving him."

"impossible!"

Lu Jin roared, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Lu Huizhong.

"He's still alive!"

"I admit that he has a very strong will to live."

Although I don't know why he's still breathing despite such severe injuries, there's no doubt it's a fatal wound; death is only a matter of time.

Lu Jin gritted his teeth; deep down, he knew that what Lu Huizhong said was true.

But Lu Jin couldn't bear to watch his best friend die in front of him without doing anything!

Just then, Tang Sect Leader and his group, also with gloomy expressions, slowly walked up to Zhao Zhen.

The Tang Clan had solemnly vowed to protect Zhao Zhen's safety with their lives, but in the end, it turned out like this...

"What are you all standing there for?!"

Suddenly, a roar jolted the crowd who were mourning Zhao Zhen awake.

"Where did that sound come from? Who's speaking?" Lu Ci looked around in confusion.

"It seems to be coming from Zhao Zhen's heart!" Xu Xin exclaimed.

"You bunch of idiots, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go down the mountain to find a doctor!!!"

Hu Tu's figure transformed into a white light and emerged from Zhao Zhen's body. After uttering a harsh word, he quickly burrowed back into Zhao Zhen's heart.

"I'm holding his heart function up right now. With this guy's will to live, if we can find a doctor soon, there might still be a chance to save him!"

Upon hearing that Zhao Zhen might still be saved, Lu Jin was overjoyed.

"Quick! Get down the mountain!"

"Yang Lie, you're a genius, lead the way!"

Without hesitation, Tang Sect Master personally led Lu Jin and his group down the mountain at top speed.

"Yes, Master!"
-
Half a month later, when Zhao Zhen opened her eyes again, she was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Where am I...?"

A look of confusion flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes. Just as he was about to get up and sit up from the bed, a piercing pain in his chest made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Hey, don't move!"

A strange woman's voice slowly rang in Zhao Zhen's ears.

Zhao Zhen turned his head and saw a plump young woman running towards him in a hurry.

"you are?"

"Duanmu Ying, your attending physician."

"doctor……"

Touching the bandage on her chest, Zhao Zhen finally remembered everything.

"Oh right, I was ambushed by that old bastard Noriyoshi Ono on the mountain..."

"Yes, his heart was pierced, and he still survived. Sometimes I really don't know whether to praise his incredible resilience or my superb medical skills~"

"You saved me?"

"if not?"

Duanmu Ying shrugged, a hint of pride flashing across her face.

"Kid, you're lucky!"
