Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1016: Chapter 532: The Intimidating Power of a Severed Head

Looking at Shi Lou’s injuries, Gu Sheng reached out to examine them.

Shi Lou was still in a coma at this time, but when touched, he involuntarily furrowed his brows.

”Whip wounds, almost breaking the tendons and bones, luckily he has just left seclusion and his strength has increased, otherwise the bones would be difficult to repair.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped collectively.

”The methods of the Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak are truly ruthless!”

”He’s coming for all our lives, naturally, his methods would be harsh.”

”Gu Sheng, what do we do now? Shi Lou’s injuries...”

”Don’t worry, I’ll heal him.”

With a slight twist of the wrist, a strand of Spiritual Energy flew from Gu Sheng’s hand, precisely landing on Shi Lou’s wound.

As he pressed his finger, the Spiritual Energy entered Shi Lou’s body through the wound.

In an instant, Shi Lou’s body was enveloped in a golden light, and everyone clearly felt the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy. To avoid interfering with Shi Lou’s healing, they hurriedly used Divine Power to protect themselves to prevent sharing his Spiritual Energy.

A few silver needles floated in midair as Gu Sheng’s Divine Power surged, pressing the needles down rapidly.

When the silver needles inserted into the acupoints, Shi Lou let out a light groan.

At this moment, the golden light on his body erupted once again, and the wound visibly began to heal.

Seeing this scene, everyone was astonished.

Shi Lou had already taken Purple Spiritual Grass, but besides detoxification, it didn’t help much with the wound. Unexpectedly, once Gu Sheng took action, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Amidst the astonishment, the golden light on Shi Lou’s body faded.

Gu Sheng withdrew the silver needles and touched his forehead.

As his finger descended, Shi Lou slowly opened his eyes.

”Gu Sheng, why did I fall asleep?”

”You didn’t fall asleep, you were poisoned twice and fell unconscious.”

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, all eyes in the room turned to him.

Lan Yao asked urgently, ”Gu Sheng, what do you mean by what you just said? Shi Lou was poisoned twice?”

”Yes, that’s why the Purple Spiritual Grass can cure you but not him.”

”Is Luan Yun’s whip poisoned?”

”It’s an extremely potent poison; both types likely come from him. Together, they complement each other, and once both poisons are contracted, the effects are amplified. Without the Purple Spiritual Grass, Shi Lou would probably be dead by now.”

Hearing this, everyone gasped collectively.

Er Gou suddenly lunged forward, hugging Shi Lou tightly.

”Shi Lou, you can’t die! I can’t bear to lose you!”

Shi Lou felt a mix of laughter and tears, lifting a hand to pat him on the arm.

”Be gentle, don’t let Luan Yun poison me to death only for you to strangle me.”

”I just can’t bear to lose you.”

”Am I not fine now? What’s there to bear? Two grown men hugging like this, what does it look like? Let go of me!”

Under Shi Lou’s strong resistance, Er Gou finally let go.

Lan Yao stepped forward, looking at Shi Lou with remorse.

”I’m sorry I dragged you into this. If it weren’t for protecting me, you wouldn’t have nearly lost your life.”

At this comment, Shi Lou smiled.

”Gu Sheng said we’re brothers, no need to be so formal.”

”But...”

”Lan Yao, why are you so nagging? Could it be that you’re a woman?”

After Shi Lou said this, Lan Yao was left speechless with embarrassment.

”I’m being serious with you!”

”I’m not joking either. I’m seriously suspecting you now.”

Lan Yao’s face flushed red, clearly holding back the urge to confront him.

”Doubting me? Should I strip down to prove myself?”

Seeing him reach for his belt, Shi Lou hurriedly pulled him back.

”Stop, stop, stop, you’re even more disgusting than Er Gou.”

”Weren’t you the one doubting me first?”

”I was joking.”

”Weren’t you not joking?”

”Yes, yes, yes, I was joking, I was wrong.”

Hearing this, Lan Yao finally let go.

”Thank you for this time, I’ll repay your kindness.”

”Want to repay me? Go ahead. Anyway, you don’t consider me a friend, only Brother Sheng is worthy in your eyes, right?”

”That’s not what I meant.”

”That’s exactly what you mean! I didn’t earn a friend with my life for nothing, you really make one feel disappointed!”

At Shi Lou’s words, Lan Yao faltered.

”I do regard you as a friend...”

”Alright, don’t mention taking me as a friend, you’re so nagging, not manly at all.”

Once more doubted, Lan Yao was about to explode with anger.

”Gu Sheng, do you always have such infuriating people around you?”

”They’re alright.”

”This is alright?”

”I’m used to it, and he’s not entirely wrong in suspecting you, you’re often so nagging...”

Before Gu Sheng could finish, Lan Yao’s fist landed on his arm.

”Gu Sheng! I can’t hit him because he’s injured, but you’re not exempt! If you say one more word, I won’t let you off.”

Seeing her embarrassed and angry expression, Gu Sheng laughed heartily.

”Alright, alright, I won’t say any more. Don’t bring up repaying the favor, how’s the research on the Hundred Poison Grass going?”

”Haven’t figured it out yet.”

As he brought this up, Lan Yao sighed helplessly.

”Not long after you went into seclusion, Heisha Sect leader Zhang Ping came, he fled after losing, and countless sects swarmed in, I’ve been guarding the outskirts of Stone Village to protect it until today.”

Hearing this, Gu Sheng rubbed his nose.

”Well... you should know that the houses in Stone Village are made of gloomy wood, right?”

”I know.”

”Then you should know that gloomy wood automatically forms a protective shield, right?”

Gu Sheng finished speaking, and Lan Yao was dumbfounded.

”You mean, even if I closed the door, they couldn’t break in?”

”Seems like it.”

Upon receiving an answer, Lan Yao was exasperated.

”Why didn’t you say this earlier?!”

”The gloomwood thing about Stone Village is widely known, you should have known! Plus, when the sects attacked, I was in seclusion and couldn’t communicate with you.”
