Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2460 - 2524: You Won’t Die

Murong Yuanqing returned. He didn’t find the Zhongmysterious, or maybe the other was traveling, or just deliberately avoiding him. In any case, Murong Yuanqing didn’t meet the person, so he couldn’t ask about the Sky Yin Absolute Vein, but everyone didn’t give up.At the same time, Murong Yuanqing brought news about the Noah’s Ark Organization. Recently, the exploration news brought new updates, and the other party suddenly stopped pursuing Li Yifei, because they discovered a hidden realm and decided to gather experts for exploration. Therefore, the Kill Order was temporarily shelved; the hidden realm seemed significant to the Noah’s Ark Organization.

However, Murong Yuanqing’s informant only knew this much. The informant’s level wasn’t low, but he couldn’t obtain more information, so now someone still needs to explore personally to seek the truth...

Under normal circumstances, this would naturally be Li Yifei’s task, but Murong Yuanqing knew he couldn’t leave now, so he assigned someone else. However, compared to the brilliance of Li Yifei, others seemed dimmer. Even so-called young talents couldn’t compare with Li Yifei.

"Yanzi, we’re in a real predicament here." Li Yifei made a phone call to the Saintess about this matter, notifying the Holy War Organization to get involved. Of course, Li Yifei also asked the Saintess about treating the Sky Yin Absolute Vein.

"I will tell the grand elders about it. As for Ali’s condition... we don’t cultivate meridians, so I can only try using Holy Techniques. Maybe it will work, but it’s more likely to be ineffective..."

"Holy Techniques?" Li Yifei’s eyes lit up, then he remembered that wasn’t the Saintess exactly cultivated in these? So Li Yifei immediately decided, "Then please come over; whether it works or not, we at least have to try."

Maybe it’s a desperate measure, but Li Yifei wanted to try the Saintess’s Holy Techniques.

The Saintess nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, I’ll inform the grand elders and head over immediately!"

A day later, the Saintess arrived. Upon meeting, she immediately went to Su Lio’s room. At that moment, Su Lio was already experiencing cold outbreaks every half hour, with the interval still shortening, whereas the Mohist War Sword... was long ineffective.

The Saintess brought her Saint Rod and, after a brief examination, immediately used Holy Techniques. There are many kinds of Holy Techniques, and different Holy Technique Holy Lights exist for different diseases. Everyone cultivates differently, just like traveling different paths. Although seemingly contradictory, they eventually converge: to become stronger, transcend human limitations, seek longevity, and powerful strength.

Unfortunately, the Saintess performed six different Holy Techniques for various diseases, but it still had no effect.

A glimmer of hope was extinguished as Su Lio smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Sister Yanzi."

"I apologize," the Saintess said with some guilt. She brought hope, only for it to vanish. Su Lio shook her head, saying, "It’s not your fault; I know you want to cure me!"

Su Lio wasn’t naive; her condition had continually worsened these days—body deteriorating daily, with cold outbreaks getting more frequent—all indicating one thing: she might not have much time left. She faced pain alone late at night but always acted optimistic around friends and family, seemingly taking it all in stride.

Yes, someone who has fought with death since birth, what else can she be if not magnanimous?

Shortly after she finished speaking, another cold outbreak began. Li Yifei stepped forward, using True Qi to help suppress it. Watching this, the Saintess knew the Holy Techniques of the Western Holy Church probably had little effect. Digging into a bag she brought, she took out a box. After opening it, she revealed an unusual stone with a dark red tint. Taking it out, the Saintess explained, "This is a Saint Stone. It emits warmth; wearing it might help somewhat... Ali, I matched it with a beautiful necklace for you to wear."

"Thank you!" As the cold struck, Su Lio trembled violently.

"Put it on now; hopefully, it will help." The Saintess helped Su Lio put it on as Li Yifei focused on dispelling the cold. Su Lio now had these outbreaks every half hour, and dispersing each took at least half of Li Yifei’s True Qi, while recovering it took at least two hours, making it unsustainable. If it weren’t for Yao Lingfu’s pills, Li Yifei might not have held on by now.

Thanks to those pills, Li Yifei, chewing on the unpleasant but effective pills, constantly circulated his technique to restore himself.

The Saint Stone had some effect, but it was minimal. It emitted a warmth, soothing Su Lio’s heart area, offering some relief to those regions.

Now it was every half-hour. The thought of what would happen if a solution wasn’t found in a few days was terrifying. Were they really just going to watch Su Lio die?

"If there’s any way, no matter what, I’m willing to do it!" Li Yifei told the Saintess as they left Su Lio’s room, his eyes full of sorrow. The Saintess also felt troubled, but since her Holy Techniques failed, she could only say, "Perhaps... a miracle will happen."

Actually, Li Yifei had an idea. He looked at the Saintess and hesitated before asking, "Do you think the medicine developed by the Noah’s Ark Organization might work...?"

"You mean the Type III Drug?" the Saintess asked, her eyes widening.

"Yes..." Li Yifei nodded.

"No, it shouldn’t work. Even if it does, we can’t turn Ali into that kind of monster. I think if that happens, Ali might choose to die directly."

"Alright..." Li Yifei sighed deeply. He too believed the same, but other than this, he really couldn’t think of any solution. This wasn’t like some organ in the body, where advanced medical technology can replace it. The Dantian is virtually intangible, how can it be replaced? The meridians throughout the body are severed, how can they be replaced? They’re not blood vessels...

"Even if there were any, they wouldn’t give them to us," said the Saintess.

Li Yifei made a sound of acknowledgment, thinking of their mortal enemies on both sides; indeed, it was as the Saintess said.

Yao Lingfu came over to deliver some pills. Seeing the weary Li Yifei, she felt a bit heartbroken, but didn’t stop him, just said, "Yifei, I asked people to send this batch of pills over; their effects are better. But don’t take too many, alternate between these to avoid latent problems with your body."

"Elder, which one has the best effect?"

"The ones in the yellow box... Yifei, the ones with good effects also have great harm; if you take too many, your body will..."

"It’s alright, my body is strong; I can handle it. Besides, I estimate there will be a solution soon, so I won’t need to endure for long!" Li Yifei smiled and said.

Yao Lingfu stopped persuading and nodded, saying, "Alright, then take care. I’ve sent medicinal ingredients so you can continue refining. Strive to refine pills with better effects."

"Thank you, Elder Yao!" said Li Yifei.

In the room, night fell once again. When Su Lio once more endured the full-body coldness, she opened her eyes, revealing exhaustion on her face, but her eyes remained beautiful. Blinking, Su Lio softly asked, "Yifei, am I going to die?"

Li Yifei held her hand, using the other hand to gently rub her cheek, saying, "No, trust me."

"But I already feel so weak. I don’t want this; I don’t want to die in a daze at the end. I want to die clear-headedly!" Su Lio said with a trace of sobbing.

Li Yifei bit his lip, shaking his head, "No, you won’t die. Trust me, we’ll find a way to cure you, even if not cure, we will control your condition."

"I know you wouldn’t lie to me, but... I feel death nearing. It’s like there are many people watching me, including my mom and dad, and many strangers. They drift around, occasionally calling my name, asking me to leave with them. Yifei, I just want to go with mom and dad; I won’t follow anyone else!" Su Lio closed her eyes as if sinking into a trance.

Li Yifei’s heart ached more intensely, pouring out True Qi nearly madly to maintain Su Lio’s body, but this could only control and maintain, not heal. Once the True Qi was withdrawn, her body would be quickly occupied by the cold again, growing stronger every time.

Could it be wrong from the start, that a cure should have been found when she was young, rather than just sealing it repeatedly... indeed, it’s like clearing a blocked river, where blocking only worsens the flood...

But understanding it now is too late, with cold outbreaks every half-hour, Li Yifei can only desperately gulp down pills to keep going. It’s been a week now, and even with his healthy body, he feels somewhat overwhelmed. Still, regardless of the fatigue, he will grit his teeth and persevere.

"I hear mom and dad calling me again, Yifei. Can they see you? Would they think you’re a weird uncle bullying me, and reprimand you? My dad might even hit you..."

"They left, seemingly not taking me this time. Do they not want to take me with them? I won’t go with anyone else; apart from mom and dad, no one can take me away!"

Su Lio truly fell into a coma, uttering strange things. Li Yifei’s lips were bitten to bleeding, swallowing the blood; he felt it shouldn’t be this way. Such a sweet girl, why should she endure such treatment? She never harmed anyone; why was Heaven punishing her?

Of course, Heaven won’t offer Li Yifei explanations; it only casts different fates and lives. People seem strong, but in truth are insignificant and fragile; a life isn’t different from insects, at least in Heaven’s eyes. So whether a person or an ant dies, there’s no difference.

But to those who care, it’s different. They’re suffering too; a melancholy atmospheres envelops the Li family, which has grown in recent years, with more members who are all healthy, including their parents. For a long time, they hadn’t faced the agony of losing a loved one. Su Lio hasn’t died yet, of course.
