Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 224: No Need for the Future. You Can Repay Me Now!

“How did you get hurt so badly?” A slightly teasing voice rang out, bringing some clarity to Yu Hongxue.

She struggled to open her eyes.

What came into view was a handsome and refined face.

It was… Meng Changqing!

Instinctively, Yu Hongxue wanted to struggle, but her injuries were too severe. Even the slightest movement brought overwhelming pain.

She could only choose to give up, lying quietly in Meng Changqing’s embrace.

His strong arms wrapped around her slender waist.

The rich scent of a man rushed into her nostrils.

Realizing all this, the pallor on Yu Hongxue’s face turned slightly rosy.

Until now, she had never been this close to a man.

“Be careful. This guy… is very powerful.” Yu Hongxue spoke with difficulty.

“Thanks for the reminder, but this kind of scum shouldn’t require much caution.” Meng Changqing smiled slightly and forcibly stuffed a healing pill into Yu Hongxue’s mouth.

In an instant, his fingers touched her soft red lips, an astonishing sensation.

“This kind of scum…” Hearing these four words, Yu Hongxue felt both anger and helplessness.

She couldn’t even defeat such scum.

Wasn’t that even worse?

A year had passed, and this guy was still as annoying as ever.

But now, she truly lacked the strength to argue back.

She slowly closed her eyes, quickly digesting the pill to heal her injuries.

She raised her gaze slightly.

Meng Changqing looked toward the nearby demonic practitioner.

The rolling corpse energy was quite rare.

“Corpse Yin Demon Sect?” Meng Changqing raised an eyebrow.

He rarely encountered this sect. He had only seen it in the dungeons of the sect’s punishment peak.

However, it seemed the southern region wasn’t the primary area of activity for this sect.

They were stronger, mostly based in Central Province.

Thinking this, Meng Changqing took a step forward.

In an instant, he arrived nearby.

He could see the demonic practitioner’s expression change.

The previous cold cruelty vanished without a trace.

Only confusion and panic remained.

Clearly, he recognized Meng Changqing.

“Damn it!” The demonic practitioner roared internally.

This was a strong practitioner that had been warned about repeatedly by the higher-ups!

He was on the same level as Han Yuanzhen from the North, Shuangfo from the West, and Dongmen Xiangzhong from the East!

Not something he could handle!

He thought he was lucky to encounter a soft target he could squash and have a taste.

Who knew that the next moment, a towering mountain would arrive!

This was simply terrible luck!

“You seem to know me?” Seeing the demonic practitioner’s expression change, Meng Changqing’s lips curled up slightly. He could feel the fear in the other’s heart.

“Meng Changqing, the number one prodigy of the Southern Region, the owner of one hundred percent of true intent. Who doesn’t know you by now?” The demonic practitioner took a deep breath, forcing down his fear, and spoke slowly.

“Looks like I’m quite famous now.” Meng Changqing smiled and said, “Now, tell me how many of you came in this time?

“What are your specific names?”

He genuinely knew little about the demonic side. The demonic sects were quite secretive, and even the sect’s secret intelligence hall had difficulty gathering information.

“Hmph, you think you can get information from me? Dream on!” With that, the demonic practitioner actually turned to flee in a flash of light.

He had no desire for battle.

Although he had fifty percent of his fist intent, he couldn’t compare to this guy at all!

A full one hundred percent sword intent!

The gap was like heaven and earth!

Only a few top-ranking demonic prodigies could compete with him!

“Demonic practitioners are truly impolite.

“They don’t even clarify their words and just try to leave.”

Meng Changqing’s gaze turned cold.

He drew his sword, Crimson Sky.

He slashed out!

One hundred percent sword intent infused, causing Crimson Sky to emit an exhilarating sword cry, as if reaching a climax.

The sword light swept across the world!

In the blink of an eye, it caught up with the demonic practitioner.

Danger approached.

The demonic practitioner’s pupils constricted sharply.

The next second, his body shattered, leaving only his head intact.

As a practitioner at the Life and Death Realm, reaching the ninth level, his survival ability was exceptionally strong.

Even just a head could survive.

It could continuously generate flesh and blood, restoring its original appearance. But the terrifying sword intent suppressed him.

He couldn’t manage it at all.

It was as if he were frozen in place.

With a single step, Meng Changqing stood before the demonic practitioner.

“Speak, and it’ll be easier for you to die.” Meng Changqing’s voice was calm.

“Hahaha, just kill me directly! I’ve been placed under a restriction. Even if I want to talk, I can’t,”

The demonic practitioner seemed resigned, a sickly smile appearing on his face. “This time, you’ll all die. I’ll be waiting for you below!”

With that, he chose to self-destruct.

The light in his eyes faded.

His head ignited in flames, with strange characters appearing in the fire, flashing and disappearing.

This should be the so-called restriction.

The restriction is a form of secret technique.

It’s relatively high-end.

The demonic sect specializes in controlling people with restrictions.

Who didn’t want to live? But sometimes, living could be more painful than death, so this demonic practitioner chose to self-destruct directly instead of triggering the restriction.

“It seems the demonic sect came well-prepared this time.” Meng Changqing thought to himself.

The last words of this person were somewhat interesting. It seemed he wanted to slay all the righteous prodigies here.

But every time they entered the ancient lands, the demonic sect had such intentions.

Yet in the end, they often failed to achieve them. Like slogans, fantasies.

Shaking his head slightly, Meng Changqing didn’t dwell on it. However, he still paid attention.

After all, being cautious never hurt.

Then Meng Changqing looked at Yu Hongxue in his arms.

With the effect of the medicine, Yu Hongxue’s complexion improved significantly.

The corpse energy on her body had dissipated quite a bit.

The major problem was resolved.

Next, she just needed to recover properly.

However, the time the Wild Sea opened was short, and there wasn’t much time to recover.

Given Yu Hongxue’s current state, it seemed she wouldn’t have any ability to compete for divine artifacts. Just being able to exit safely would be very good.

“You can let go of me now.” Noticing Meng Changqing’s gaze, Yu Hongxue felt a bit uncomfortable.

Although lying in this person’s arms was the safest and most comfortable position,

She… couldn’t let it be like this.

“Alright.” Meng Changqing nodded.

He released his hold.

Yu Hongxue’s figure swayed slightly, barely stabilizing herself.

But inexplicably, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

“Thank you for your help this time. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely do my utmost.” Yu Hongxue didn’t think too much.

Suppressing her complicated emotions, she spoke earnestly.

“No need to wait for the future. You can repay me now.” Meng Changqing’s gaze assessed Yu Hongxue.

Yu Hongxue’s heart suddenly jolted.

It wouldn’t be that kind of request, would it?
