Chapter 281, Five Chances of Success

Translator: Silavin

Seeing Qin Yichen’s furrowed brows, the burly men of the Storm Mercenary Group became tense, and Che Liangzheng’s Daughter’s eyes welled up with crystalline tears.

“Little Brother…”  After a while, the bear-like mercenary finally could not help but softly call out.

“The Burning Poison has infiltrated quite deeply, and severely…” Qin Yichen frowned, his expression grave as he spoke in a low voice.

Hearing Qin Yichen’s serious tone, the mercenaries’ faces, which had just shown signs of improvement, darkened once again.

[So, there is no hope?]

Among the many mercenaries gathered here, who did not know how formidable a Flame Demon Commander was? Even a Martial King would not dare to casually come into conflict with a Flame Demon Commander’s Burning Poison.

Che Liangzheng being able to persist for so long was already good enough. He was clearly already at his limit.

“Kid, if you can’t do it, then get out of our Spirit Fire Pavilion!”

Looking through the crowd at the somewhat troubled Qin Yichen, the Spirit Fire Pavilion’s Grandmaster Lu immediately shouted.

Qin Yichen did not respond to his shouting though. Surprisingly, several of the Storm Mercenary Group’s men did not rush Qin Yichen either. Instead, they glared fiercely at Grandmaster Lu before turning their attention back to Qin Yichen and Che Liangzheng, who lay on the ground.

“The delay in getting him medical attention had been too long. Even my pills can only temporarily keep him alive.” Qin Yichen shook his head and slowly said.

Hearing this, the many mercenaries’ expressions dimmed. Just as they were losing hope, Qin Yichen spoke again. “I have a way to help him expel the Burning Poison, however, the risk is very high.”

“What are the chances of success?” The woman behind Qin Yichen now had eyes sparking with hope as she quickly asked.

“Less than 5% success.” Qin Yichen did not conceal anything and answered truthfully.

The method he mentioned was to channel his Yuan Energy into Che Liangzheng’s body to expel the Burning Poison. However, there were too many unknown and unstable factors during the process of expelling the Burning Poison.

If during the expulsion, Che Liangzheng’s Yuan Energy’s instinctively resisted, it would likely cause his body to be more rapidly invaded by the Burning Poison.

“Less than 5%?” The woman’s pretty face changed, her expression conflicted.

“Looking at his condition, he probably won’t last two days. Whether to let him die in the torment of Burning Poison, or to take the chance at saving him, you decide.”

Qin Yichen removed his palm from Che Liangzheng’s wrist and said to her.

His words caused the woman’s eyebrows to tightly furrow.

“I will entrust everything to you. If you can cure my Father, I, Che Mingxin, and the Storm Mercenary Group will certainly reward you generously!” The woman bit her red lips with her teeth. After struggling internally for a while, she finally made up her mind and chose to trust Qin Yichen. At this point, she had no other choice.

“Everyone. step back. Also, don’t let anyone disturb me.” Qin Yichen casually waved his hand, then slightly propped up Che Liangzheng’s body. At the same time, he sat cross-legged behind Che Liangzheng, with both palms pressed against the latter’s back.

Seeing Qin Yichen about to begin, the woman named Che Mingxin and the many burly men of the Storm Mercenary Group, all quickly stepped back several paces. Some mercenaries even roughly cleared out the customers from the Spirit Fire Pavilion.

Faced with the mercenaries wearing Storm Mercenary Group uniforms, those expelled customers could only feel angry but dare not speak up. The Spirit Fire Pavilion’s Grandmaster Lu and the others could only sheepishly shrink their necks and quietly stand aside to watch.

Although the Spirit Fire Pavilion had decent influence, at this moment, the Storm Mercenary Group’s members were clearly in an agitated state. Trying to cause trouble at this time would be more trouble than it was worth.

Qin Yichen took several deep breaths. After getting himself into his optimal state, he calmly said. “This treatment method of mine will be extremely dangerous, as I’ve said before, you need to mentally prepare for the worst…”

Hearing this, the Storm Mercenary Group members’ expressions changed again, but they could only smile bitterly and nod. After all, what else could they do?

After speaking, Qin Yichen’s face also became solemn. His Spiritual Energy controlled a strand of Yuan Energy, which passed from his palms into Che Liangzheng’s back.

When this strand of Yuan Energy entered his body, Che Liangzheng’s body, which had been too weak to have any reaction, suddenly began to tremble.

As soon as the Yuan Energy entered Che Liangzheng’s body, the Burning Poison, like a persistent parasite, covered Qin Yichen’s Yuan Energy. Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed as his Spiritual Energy controlled that strand of Yuan Energy to quickly devour the Burning Poison in the nearby meridians.

After clearing this meridian that had been corroded by Burning Poison, there was no joy on Qin Yichen’s face. Instead, it became even more solemn.

Because next, in those meridians, there was not just Burning Poison, but also Che Liangzheng’s self-protective Yuan Energy!

“Take it slow…” Qin Yichen muttered to himself. To make a name for himself in Flame City in exchange for a Flame Orb, he had to go all out.

*Hiss hiss…* Under the full control of his Spiritual Energy, Qin Yichen’s strand of Yuan Energy carefully devoured the Burning Poison. Where the Yuan Energy flowed, the red colour exposed on Che Liangzheng’s skin gradually receded.

Seeing this scene, shock and joy flashed in the eyes of the onlookers. However, they did not make any noise – afraid of affecting Qin Yichen.

However, during this progress, a sudden change occurred.

Just as Qin Yichen finished clearing some of the Burning Poison, a sudden surge of Yuan Energy burst forth from Che Liangzheng’s meridians, rushing towards his Yuan Energy, as if wanting to fight to the death.

“Not good!” Qin Yichen gritted his teeth, trying his best to withdraw his Yuan Energy, but it was still too late.

*Ziii…* As soon as the two Yuan Energies made contact, they began to clash with each other. Under the ravaging of these two Yuan Energies, this meridian in Che Liangzheng’s body immediately tore open with wounds.

“Ah!” Che Liangzheng, whose eyes had been tightly closed, suddenly opened. A painful howl came from his mouth, and a powerful aura also suddenly spread out.

“Father!”

“Deputy Group Leader Che!”

Seeing Che Liangzheng suddenly open his eyes and howl, Che Mingxin and the many burly men of the Storm Mercenary Group quickly called out.

Seeing that Che Liangzheng had temporarily regained consciousness, Qin Yichen was somewhat surprised. However, Che Liangzheng’s consciousness would make his progress much more convenient.

“I’m healing you right now. If you trust me, try your best to control your Yuan Energy. Don’t resist me and I’ll help your clear away the Burning Poison.” Looking at the sweat-drenched Che Liangzheng, Qin Yichen said.

If he had not desperately withdrawn his Yuan Energy earlier, that meridian would likely have been torn apart by the two Yuan Energies clashing. After all, even for someone as strong as a Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm expert, the meridians in their body were extremely fragile.
