Chapter 1034: Chapter 1030: Ice Soul Needle

At the same time he took out the small purple box, Mizuno Pengyu swiftly aimed it at Xiao Tian. With a slight movement of his finger, a slight ”whoosh” was heard, as a thin silver needle shimmered with a chilling glow and shot out, its speed rivaling that of top-tier body techniques!

Of course, when one speaks of a ”whoosh”, nearly everyone present couldn’t be certain if they actually heard a sound; it felt more like a psychological effect. Even in hindsight, they couldn’t definitively say whether they heard anything before the silver needle was released.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian, who was being carried in mid-air by Kojima Minako, suddenly opened his heavy eyelids, feeling a sense of death envelope him completely.

Xiao Tian was terrified, forcing himself to turn around, and with his extraordinary eyesight and intuition, he accurately caught sight of the silver needle flashing with a chilling glow.

Upon seeing the needle tip, which had a small hook, Xiao Tian was immediately filled with panic, unable to articulate his shock...

”Ice Soul?!”

These two words surfaced in Xiao Tian’s mind, as his nearly lifeless heart felt as if jolted by a defibrillator, beating rapidly, with sweat covering his forehead, washing away the previous bloodstains.

Kojima Minako sensed something amiss, glancing at Xiao Tian’s strangely abnormal state, puzzled by Mizuno Pengyu’s reaction... He let her go so easily?

Impossible, right?

With doubt in her heart, Kojima Minako looked back, and this glance made her stare wide-eyed. She quickly activated her true qi, exchanging her position with Xiao Tian, allowing the Ice Soul silver needle identified by Xiao Tian to unimpededly pierce into her body.

Xiao Tian’s eyes widened in rage. Regardless of the intentions, this person truly saved his life and now blocked this fatal silver needle for him. How could he let them die disregarded?

”Seal your... heart pulse... release all true qi from your meridians...” Xiao Tian exerted all his strength to speak these words.

This was the only thing he could do at the moment, though his voice was weak, unclear if the other heard him.

At this moment, Xiao Tian had made up his mind. If the one who saved him today died from this Ice Soul Needle, as long as he lived, none of the Mizuno Clan would have a good time!

Fortunately, Kojima Minako heard Xiao Tian’s words and, without hesitation, obeyed by sealing her heart pulse, then instantly releasing the true qi from her meridians forward.

She had witnessed Xiao Tian’s medical skills, so she could only follow what he said. However, by doing so, the true qi that maintained the body technique became unsustainable, causing their forward motion in the air to abruptly stop, plummeting straight down, estimated at a distance of at least five meters.

A distance of five meters naturally meant nothing to her; even without using true qi, she would hardly die from the fall. However, it was hard to say for Xiao Tian... Without true qi protection, suffering from serious injuries, falling like this now, it was uncertain if he would survive.

Nevertheless, the descent was too fast, even if Kojima Minako immediately summoned true qi, she was too late to prevent it. They had to let the fall happen.

Despite this, Kojima Minako wanted to try; whether successful or not was left to fate...

However, just as she intended to summon true qi from her dantian, she heard Xiao Tian’s difficult yet feeble words in her ears...

”Don’t...”

What not to do wasn’t elaborated, leaving Kojima Minako baffled and vaguely annoyed.

What was this guy’s deal? She was trying to save him, yet he uttered these two vague words for her to guess.

Fine, you said don’t, then just die!

Thinking this, Kojima Minako ceased her actions of summoning true qi from the dantian, letting herself fall downward.

However, almost as soon as she thought this, she felt a tug at her waist, suddenly halting her descent and propelling them forward.

The one who intervened was the middle-aged man who was lurking in the shadows earlier.

The middle-aged man was solemn, wordlessly, taking one in each hand, swiftly leading them away...

...

Meanwhile, Mizuno Pengyu finally spoke with a somber tone: ”Search, alive to see person, dead to see corpse!”

He was thoroughly convinced that someone hit by the Ice Soul Needle wouldn’t last long, and the one who stood for the Hunter taking the Ice Soul Needle suited his intentions more.

This indicated that neither of the two could escape, both destined to be his prizes!

As for the billion US dollars, Mizuno Pengyu no longer cared. In his view, Xiao Tian was evidently worth far more than a billion US dollars...

However, what Mizuno Pengyu didn’t know was that he was destined to end in disappointment, leaving one to wonder how this legendary figure would react by then?

——

At this time, in the distant Heartbreak Valley, a crowd of girls was dragging their tired bodies from the drill ground, gathering in groups as they headed in various directions, supporting each other, no longer exhibiting the initial look of despair.

Though still grumbling occasionally, their complaints were less extreme than before, gradually adapting to this high-intensity special training, becoming accustomed to it.

Still, for some reason, in the past few days, everyone felt that the entire upper-level began to change, though outwardly they remained serious as always, everyone felt something different.

If one had to use a term to describe it, it would be... heavy!

A heavy sense of impending storm!

Under such weight, some who usually played clever tricks and shirked their duties became more restrained, seemingly afraid to provoke their master’s dissatisfaction and invite disaster!

...

As everyone dispersed, and the drill ground became empty, upstairs, a group of senior officials gathered together, but only Sect Leader Xu Ming and the prestigious Senior Sister Chen Zhenfang remained seated.

The rest of the senior officials were pacing around, unable to drive away the sorrow between their brows, using this method to clear their minds.

After a moment, Chen Zhenfang opened her tightly closed eyes, her brows slightly furrowing in dissatisfaction at the scene, her wooden staff striking downward, spreading visible ripples across the scene.

The people impacted by the ripples froze on the spot, no longer wandering aimlessly like headless flies, all appearing like wrongdoers, afraid to speak.

”Panicking over trivial matters, what kind of conduct is this!” Chen Zhenfang said heavily, like a hammer strike on everyone’s heart.

However, everyone couldn’t help but feel disgruntled. If such things were trivial, then what truly counted as major issues?
