Chapter 469: Pouring Out (1)_1
The arrow, although not striking Xiao Ruiyuan’s heart meridian, had clearly inflicted serious damage by piercing through his left chest. Doctor Gui prepared many fine medicines but dared not hastily remove the arrow, fearing it might injure the heart meridian. For the time being, he could only use Silver Needle to seal Xiao’s acupoints to prevent excessive blood loss.
While the arrow wound could be delayed, racing back to Jing City for treatment was still possible, but the sinister Heart-eating poison would not wait for anyone. At most, he could only hold on until nightfall.
Xiao Ruiyuan knew his life was hanging by a thread, yet he truly was not resigned. Opening his eyes, he looked at Doctor Gui and Xiao Jiu, his clear voice tinted with urgency, "Return... return to Jing City, immediately..."
The awakening of Xiao Ruiyuan brought unexpected joy to the utterly despondent Xiao Jiu, who squatted down, his voice trembling, "Master, how... how do you feel?"
Xiao Ruiyuan was as pale as gold paper, even speaking had become extremely difficult, "Temporary... temporary respite, return... to Jing City."
"Master... Master..."
Seeing his master, who once seemed like the invincible War God, reduced to this state, Xiao Jiu was overwhelmed with sorrow. Although he did not understand why his master was in such a rush to return to Jing City, as a Hidden Guard, all he could do was obey orders. He reached out with trembling hands, about to lift Xiao Ruiyuan, when Doctor Gui stopped him.
"He’s too gravely injured to be moved. I’ll examine him once more," he said.
