Chapter 2503 The Assassin's Self-Destruction
"Brother Qin, I'll take this arrow with me first. I'll try to find out who its owner is through my Li family's channels." Li Yan took the arrow that had ambushed Qin Fei before leaving.
"Row."
The Li family is no ordinary family; they might be able to uncover something unusual, so Qin Fei naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Qin Fei, what's the deal between you and this Young Master Li? Why do I feel like he's being unusually nice to you?"
After Li Yan left, Zhen Tian immediately approached Qin Fei and asked him with a gossipy look on his face.
Qin Fei is a man, and Li Yan is also a man. Zhen Tian couldn't quite understand their relationship.
"If I said it was because he's handsome, you'd probably think I'm crazy. But actually, we've been through thick and thin together."
Previously, Qin Fei had only told Zhen Tian about some of his experiences, but he hadn't really mentioned his relationship with Li Yan. Since Zhen Tian had asked about it, Qin Fei simply told him about things related to Li Yan.
After all, Zhen Tian would definitely be showing up in front of him and Li Yan a lot in the future, so Qin Fei was just introducing Li Yan to him for now.
Qin Fei was a sensible man. He knew that Li Yan was treating him so well now because he saw his future potential. Li Yan had said this to him before, so Qin Fei had no reason to hide it from him.
"People say that friends are easy to find, but true friends are hard to come by. I think your current relationship is exactly the second half of that saying," Qin Fei sighed.
"I think all of this is just temporary. Once all their family members have gathered here, it will be difficult for us to find a place to stay," Qin Fei sighed.
Qin Fei did not deny that Li Yan valued him highly, but Li Yan was only representing himself. He was not yet the head of the Li family and could not make decisions for the entire family.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is now a troublemaker, having offended not only the Liu family and the Divine Martial Sect, but also the monstrous assassin organization Tianya Haijiao.
If his family members feel that he is burdened with too much responsibility, then abandoning him would be perfectly normal.
Therefore, Qin Fei had to prepare for the worst from the very beginning.
Living under someone else's roof and having to watch their face is not a pleasant experience. Even if the Li family doesn't drive him away, Qin Fei will probably know better and leave on his own.
Ultimately, it all comes down to one's own strength.
Having lived for hundreds of years, Zhen Tian naturally understood these things very well; relying on heaven or earth is not as good as relying on oneself.
If Qin Fei can reach the same level as Li Yan and others, or even surpass them, his value will naturally increase greatly. At that time, even without the protection of the Li family, there will definitely be other people who will step forward to help him.
This is a realistic world. Even if people want to invest, they will definitely choose to invest in those who offer better value for money.
Li Yan had already pledged allegiance to Qin Fei, but Qin Fei was worried that other members of the Li family might dislike him.
If this happens, he will feel very uncomfortable staying here.
Li Yan had already begun investigating the matter of the hidden arrow, but before he could produce any results, a new assassination attempt once again 'took care' of Qin Fei.
A burly man rushed towards Qin Fei's courtyard with lightning speed, and as soon as he entered, he immediately detonated his own body.
Everyone knows that the power generated by a cultivator's self-destruction is extremely terrifying; Qin Fei didn't even have time to prepare his own defenses.
Why is this happening?
That's why he chose to rush to Zhen Tian's location at the first opportunity.
Zhen Tian's current cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm. If he were to face a situation without any defense, he would be 100% certain to die, and even a god couldn't save him.
So in this most critical moment, Qin Fei could only use his own body as a human shield, directly tackling Zhen Tian to the ground.
In this way, as long as Qin Fei doesn't die, Zhen Tian will most likely not die either.
The terrifying, scorching power landed entirely on Qin Fei's back, as if someone were pouring boiling oil on him. At first, Qin Fei felt pain, but later the pain turned into numbness. He knew that was because his flesh and blood had been roasted.
boom!
Fortunately, this feeling quickly disappeared because Li Yan's protector intervened.
His power forcefully repelled the self-destructive force, thus preventing Qin Fei from suffering deeper damage.
"If anyone dares to make a move near my Li family again, don't blame me for turning my back on them!"
Suffering two attacks in one day, Li Yan's temper was instantly ignited.
They attacked right next to the Li family, and the attackers were even targeting the Li family's retainers. It's clear they don't take the Li family seriously at all.
"Zhentian, how are you?"
The Li family has taken over the scene, and Zhen Tian, who was not moving at all before, is now truly still under Qin Fei.
Blood was gushing from all seven of his orifices, and his face looked both ferocious and terrifying.
More importantly, his life force was rapidly dissipating, and when Qin Fei scanned him with his X-ray vision, his expression changed drastically.
Because Zhen Tian's internal organs had suffered extremely severe damage, and his meridians had been broken in many places, it was already considered lucky that he did not die instantly from such injuries.
"How could he be so badly injured?"
Even though she had already blocked most of the attacks for him?
Why would he act this way?
"Stop dawdling! Put him on our regeneration stone, or he'll be dead today!"
Just then, Li Yan's words forcibly pulled Qin Fei back to reality.
The Li family's headquarters contains a priceless treasure; Qin Fei was saved from death by it last time.
Zhen Tian's life is hanging by a thread, and they absolutely need this thing, otherwise Zhen Tian might really be gone.
"Good good."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fei finally realized what was happening.
Zhen Tian is indeed in great danger now, and is even half-dead.
But if he could use that regeneration stone, then he might still be saved.
After bringing Zhen Tian to the Li family's residence, Qin Fei placed Zhen Tian directly on the regeneration stone.
As you can see, when Zhen Tian was placed on it, his rapidly draining life force indeed slowed down.
"Quickly, we can start the rescue now." At this moment, Li Yan turned his gaze to his protector and spoke.
"give it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yan's protectors didn't say much and immediately began to treat Zhen Tian.
His treatment method was different from Qin Fei's. If Qin Fei were to treat him, he would first use bone needles to seal some of his key acupoints, and then supplement with spiritual medicines and pills.
However, Li Yan's protector was not so meticulous; he simply and crudely poured his power into Zhen Tian's body.
Especially his internal organs.
It should be known that pure true qi is the best medicine in the world. Under the repeated cleansing of his true qi, Zhen Tian's originally pale face was gradually becoming rosy, and his life force was also maintained.
Of course, Qin Fei also saw Li Yan constantly feeding Zhen Tian spiritual herbs and pills. Without these things, Zhen Tian's injuries would probably not have been so easily suppressed.
"He should be fine now."
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Yan's protectors stopped. Zhen Tian's injuries had been brought under control, and his vitality had gradually returned to a strong state. It was only a matter of time before he woke up.
"Thank you all." Qin Fei said sincerely.
Qin Fei had personally witnessed the effort and resources that others had spent on Zhen Tian, so his words of gratitude were heartfelt.
He knew that Li Yan was going to such lengths to save Zhen Tian because of him. If it were anyone else, Zhen Tian's body would probably be stiff by now.
"No need for thanks. You've been attacked twice in one day, once from a distance and once at close range. I feel your situation might be worse than before. Who do you think did these two attacks?"
“Without catching the corresponding culprit, how could I possibly know who did it? But I have a feeling that the Liu family must have been involved,” Qin Fei said after thinking for a moment.
He had just clashed with Liu Wen at the Blackwater Gate auction, so it was perfectly normal for them to send people to deal with him.
Qin Fei suspected that the hidden arrow was the work of an assassin from the Tianya Haijiao organization.
Just as Li Yan and the others said, hidden weapons are basically the exclusive domain of assassins, and after the opponent strikes, they immediately flee far away without leaving a trace.
This basically matches the signs that the assassin has made his move.
“Liu Wen is a scoundrel who’s never been a good person. He probably felt he couldn’t do anything to me, so he turned around and targeted you. I also feel like they’re involved,” Li Yan echoed Qin Fei.
Of course, they're just guessing at all. To put it bluntly, even if they know that the Liu family sent people, so what?
Are they going to fight to the death with the other side right now?
"Is your injury serious? Do you need treatment?" Li Yan asked, noticing Qin Fei's back stained with blood.
Previously, Qin Fei shielded Zhen Tian from damage by using his own back. If it weren't for the Divine King Shield attached to his body, he might be in the same state as Zhen Tian now.
"It's just a minor injury; whether I treat it or not makes no difference," Qin Fei said.
“You can’t say that. Anyway, we have time, so we should still get it treated.” As he spoke, Li Yan took out a few spiritual herbs from his spatial ring and handed them to Qin Fei: “These are some spiritual herbs specifically used to treat external injuries. They should be useful to you.”
"Thank you."
Qin Fei didn't stand on ceremony with Li Yan and directly accepted the spiritual medicine.
"You should heal your wounds first. I'll go and find out what's going on in the investigation."
Li Yan didn't linger there and left quickly.
After he left, Qin Fei did not hesitate and immediately began to heal his wounds.
Zhen Tian is mostly recovered and will just have to wait for him to wake up on his own. Qin Fei's injuries are also quite severe and will take some time to heal.
