Chapter 732: A Bamboo Leaf
Li Baoguo, who was supposed to be dead, was suddenly breathing heavily. The broken blade of the iron saber, which had been lodged in his heart, was being slowly pushed out, bit by bit.
It was as if some powerful force within his heart was reviving.
What is going on? Is this a haunting? Or a corpse reanimation?
Zhang Hongjing felt a chill run down her spine. Modern medical examinations had been conducted multiple times, confirming beyond a shadow of a doubt that both Li Baoguo and Qi Honglei were completely, utterly dead. Their bodies had long gone cold. But now, they weren’t. No, they had already come back to life.
This phenomenon, which defied all scientific reasoning, sent a wave of shock through Zhang Hongjing. Even as a Sky level Awakened, she felt a deep unease creeping up her back.
Clang.
The broken iron saber clattered to the ground as it was completely expelled from his body. At that moment, the dazed look in Li Baoguo's eyes vanished and he suddenly became fully conscious.
He lowered his head, looking at the blood-stained broken blade on the ground, then at the wound on his chest, which was healing at an incredible speed.
He muttered in astonishment, “I... wasn’t I dead?”
He still remembered it clearly. At that moment, Jiepeng’s Sword Saint, Oniba Henzō, had unleashed a strike that shattered the gates of life and death. That divine and unstoppable sword had obliterated Li Baoguo’s most powerful attack. The shattered fragments of his own saber had rebounded, and one of them had pierced straight into his heart. His consciousness had plunged uncontrollably into a deep, endless abyss of darkness.
“Don’t speak.” At that moment, Qi Honglei, who had also been resurrected, spoke up. “This is a rare opportunity. Carefully comprehend that sword strike; don’t waste this chance.”
Li Baoguo was momentarily stunned. But then an indescribably mysterious and profound sensation surged toward him like an overwhelming tidal wave. He was completely engulfed by it.
