Chapter 2469: Chapter 2470: Saved

In this pitch-black night where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, a strange sound came, causing him, who was staying on the cliff, to tremble slightly all over.

Lin Chen did not feel particularly worried or afraid of this external sound, only because there was still Xiao Ying by his side, and he could clearly sense that the eerie sound in the dark night was particularly strong and terrifying.

If the master behind the scenes suddenly attacked him now, he was heavily injured and probably not his opponent. He held the girl lying in his arms even tighter.

Moments later, a white figure gradually emerged from the darkness. He was dressed completely in white, and even his hair, like a university, had turned completely white, but his eyes appeared exceptionally bright and piercing.

This person’s strength was extraordinary. He could now stand suspended in the air, definitely above him. Never did he expect to encounter such a superbly skilled expert on the edge of this thousand-foot cliff.

"I don’t know who you are. Why have you come to this place in the dead of night?"

"Young man, you don’t need to care who I am. You just need to know one thing, I can save you."

The old man spoke with a natural tone as if curing this boy in front of him was a sure thing.

Lin Chen naturally felt somewhat dissatisfied. Maybe this old man’s strength was indeed high, but he did not know what kind of situation he was currently facing.

If it were merely internal injuries, he could fully recover on his own. Unfortunately, the poison had already invaded his heart. There’s no one who could heal him unless treated here and now.

"Senior, you can stand in the air; your skills are superb, that much is clear. But the injury I suffer is not just internal injuries. More importantly, I have been poisoned, and now that the poison is attacking my heart, I’m afraid I don’t have long to live."

When Lin Chen described death, his eyes were filled with calmness, no panic or sadness, which made the old man admire him even more. So young yet with such a mindset, truly not simple.

"Young man, you’re very lucky. Having met me today, I’m afraid you won’t die."

Lin Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, then looked up at the old man standing in front of him. The poison he suffered was the lethal "Soul-Crusher Powder." He could feel the poison’s fierce and domineering nature. If not for his Innate Gang Qi protecting his heart, he might have already been dead.

But even with Innate Gang Qi, he couldn’t change the danger he was in.

"Do you think there is no one in this world who can cure the Soul-Crusher Powder?"

Lin Chen had also read various medical books, so he knew how ferocious and domineering this poison was. It could be suppressed for a while, but other than the Healing Immortal, there was no one else who could do it.

However, the Healing Immortal had vanished decades ago after fighting for hundreds of rounds on Tianshan, likely having ascended by now.

"I truly believe there’s only one person who could save me, and that’s the Healing Immortal. But unfortunately, this renowned unparalleled master disappeared from the world decades ago, and to this day, no one knows his whereabouts."

The old man stroked his beard, nodding.

"You’re indeed very lucky to meet me today. That’s right; I retired from the martial world decades ago and lived a life of leisure. Few have seen me because I rarely show myself."

Although Lin Chen generally didn’t underestimate others easily, the words of the old man in front of him were indeed hard to believe. After all, the Healing Immortal was a legendary figure on this continent.

This person was not only skilled in medicine but also the most top-notch Alchemist. More importantly, he was extremely powerful and resourceful, regarded as an unparalleled expert of the millennium.

The old man in front of him indeed had some skills, but he could never compare with the Healing Immortal.

"Young man, it seems you don’t want to believe me."

"Senior, your kind heart, willing to lend a hand, fills me with gratitude. But I have no chance of surviving, as the poison attacks my heart. I just hope you can promise me one thing, and I will be endlessly grateful."

Hearing this, the old man stroked his beard, nodding indifferently, and then looked at Lin Chen, gesturing for him to continue.

"Young man, go ahead. I see you have such righteousness at a young age and can face life and death calmly, transcending worldly concerns. I will agree to your ordinary request."

"I hope you can care for this girl for a while. She is the daughter of my benefactor, who saved my life many times. My death doesn’t matter, but I fear she will be left alone with no one to care for her."

Hearing this, the old man admired the young man even more for his righteous and gallant attitude at such a young age. He stroked his beard and nodded indifferently.

Then he rushed forward and struck towards Lin Chen with a palm.

The opponent’s speed was too fast. Lin Chen couldn’t make any preparations, and he was hit on the chest. But to put it another way, even if he was prepared, what good would it do?

This person’s speed and strength were so fast that he could deal with it easily and gracefully.

Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and fell onto the branches of a tree, fainting.

After a long time, Lin Chen slowly awoke to find himself lying on a bed, a quilt covering his chest, and Xiao Ying sitting right in front of him.

Seeing him awake, the other party showed an ecstatic smile and then threw herself onto him, crying tears of joy.

Lin Chen was utterly confused. What was going on? Wasn’t he trapped between the cliffs, unable to go up or down?

Why did he end up in a room like this, and how did his injuries fully recover?

"What happened? Why am I here?"

Xiao Ying wiped her tears with her hand and then stood up, softly explaining the whole sequence of events.

It turned out the old man’s palm on his chest was not for evil purposes. Instead, he was treating him, expelling the accumulated blood in his chest.

After hearing it, Lin Chen suddenly understood, but more questions arose, puzzling him. He had indeed been poisoned with the lethal "Soul-Crusher Powder," so who exactly was this old man?
