Chapter 71: Fierce Rescue

  Wang Ke walked quickly through the construction site, curiously looking around at the construction work while hurrying on his way. Although he had agreed with Li Ruoxi to meet for dinner every day, he was running too late and it wouldn't be good if he didn't show up.

  Suddenly, a cry of surprise from far away in the high sky made his face change greatly, because in his line of sight, at a distance of 70 to 80 meters away from him, a construction worker fell down from an iron frame that had been set up. Before his eyes, a tragedy was about to unfold.

  Damn it!

  Wang Ke cursed in his heart, and the true energy in his meridians was instantly run to its limit by him. His body shape was like a cannonball, and he rushed towards the figure that fell from the high sky.

  It was like a flash of lightning, if his speed had already broken through his usual fastest limit, in the crazy consumption of true energy, his figure in the air had become slightly blurred, and it was difficult to find his shadow without careful observation, even with eyes wide open, only a string of phantoms could be seen.

  Sprint, constant sprint!

  The wildly rotating true energy was released from his body without Wang Ke's awareness, and the spiritual energy in the heaven and earth quickly swarmed towards him. His own true energy burst out even more, which also made his speed increase by a few points.

  In four or five breaths, he had sprinted to the spot directly below where the figure above had fallen. The worker who had lost his footing and was falling from above was now less than five meters away from him.

  We must catch him!

  Wang Ke's eyes flashed with a mad gleam, his body bursting with power. His legs bent slightly, and with a sudden burst of force from his feet, his body leapt high into the air.

  "Crack!"

  When Wang Qiao jumped two or three meters high, his arms caught Gao Xinmin, and the huge impact force caused his arms to dislocate in that instant.

  The thought of saving a life had completely filled his heart, and he couldn't care about the consequences. The next moment after his arms were dislocated, he saw Gao Xinmin falling down again, and suddenly his right leg kicked up, using his knee to support Gao Xinmin's lower back.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  As Gao Xinmin fell, the bricks that had been piled up beside him came crashing down from mid-air. Three or four of them hit Wang Ke's head and shoulders.

  Severe pain made him inhale a mouthful of cold air, and his body was also violently slammed downwards due to the massive impact force brought by Gao Xinmin's body. What made him feel even more helpless was that because of the dislocation of both arms, his right leg suddenly lifted up, and he could no longer guarantee that after falling to the ground, his body would be able to land on both feet.

  "Damn it, at worst I'll take the blame for him!"

  Wang Ke's heart was secretly furious as he fell to the ground, and with great difficulty, he twisted his body in mid-air without any help, using himself to cushion the fall for Gao Xinmin.

  Bang!

  In the midst of a dull thud, both bodies heavily crashed to the ground. The enormous pressure on his chest caused Wang Ke to spew out a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs felt as if they were shifting due to the intense shockwave. That scorching sensation almost made him suffocate.

  Gao Xinmin, who was also knocked to the ground next to Wang Ke, was similarly dazed and disoriented. The intense pain made his vision blur, and at this moment, both of his hands, which had hit the ground almost simultaneously with Wang Ke's body, were clearly fractured, and it would likely take some time for them to heal.

  Wang Qiang endured the heart-wrenching pain that spread throughout his limbs, using his dislocated arms to flip over the high-tech armor on his body. After struggling to get up, he hastily activated the true energy in his meridians, rapidly flowing it into the dislocated areas of his arms.

  Severe pain sensation, greatly alleviated with the infusion of true energy.

  The arms must be connected in time!

  Wang Ke didn't dare to hesitate, enduring the pain, he put his right hand into the left armpit with great difficulty, relying on an inexplicable twisting motion, searching for the dislocated joint.

  Found it?

  A moment later, a burst of wild joy flashed in his eyes, and with a sudden force, accompanied by the sound of "crack", the dislocated right arm was brutally forced back into place.

  Then, the true energy quickly nourished the newly attached right arm. Wang Ke looked deeply at Gao Xinmin who was struggling to get up from the ground, and suddenly felt a severe pain all over his body. He ran towards the high wall about 40-50 meters south.

  The circulation of true energy allowed him to suffer less, and after arriving at the foot of the high wall in the south, his right arm was able to exert some strength. He quickly grabbed his left arm, took a deep breath, and then Wang Ke forcibly connected the bones of his left arm before jumping up with difficulty and climbing over the wall.

  Breathing heavily, quietly leaning against the wall, a bitter smile appeared in Wang Ke's eyes. A sticky liquid was felt by him, as the two streams of sticky liquid had flowed from his head to his face.

  While using his true energy to nourish the dislocated bone, he stretched out his right hand to touch his aching head, and when he placed his hand in front of his eyes, the bitter smile on his face deepened.

  He suddenly remembered that just after catching the migrant worker, a brick had fallen from above and hit his head, and this handful of blood was flowing down from the wound on his head.

  Manipulating his true energy, Wang Ke carefully made the true energy adhere to the cerebral cortex and slowly merge into the wound to stop the bleeding.

  After five minutes, Wang Ke's physical pain had dissipated by more than half, the bleeding from his head wound had stopped, and his arms had regained some strength. He knew that his dislocated arms would definitely not be able to exert great force within the next three days.

  It takes 100 days for a sprain to heal.

  My own dislocated arms can be restored within three days without exerting too much force, which is already very good.

  Slowly getting up, Wang Ke rushed towards the southeast direction.

  Closely following the artificial lake, after going around from the east side, he has already arrived at the edge of a small forest in the southeast of the artificial lake.

  Suddenly, his body stiffened slightly because he keenly discovered that Tiezi was squatting in a horse stance in the small woods ahead, with beads of sweat on his forehead. At this moment, his face was flushed red, and even his lips were a bit purple, but he still persisted.

  "There's still an hour before the agreed time, how did he arrive now?" A hint of doubt flashed through Wang Ke's mind, and was immediately replaced by admiration.

  He can still persist in practicing even when he doesn't know himself, his tenacity is not bad.

  Wang Ke silently sighed and quietly stuck to the corner of the wall, using the trees as cover, quickly rushing southward.

  He took out the key to open the door, and just as Wang Ke had just walked in, Li Ruoxi, who was holding two plates, happened to come out of the kitchen. When she saw Wang Ke's current appearance with blood all over his head and face, and his whole body dirty, her expression changed instantly, and she exclaimed: "Wang Ke, what's wrong with you?"

  Wang Ke smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing. Just now when I was coming back, I passed by the construction site on the south side of the antique market, and someone fell from a height of over 20 meters. I rushed to save him and was hit on the head by a brick that fell with the worker. It's nothing, just a little skin broken and some blood flowing, no big deal! You continue with your work, I'll just go to the bathroom to clean up."

  Li Ruoxi quickly walked to the dinner table, put two plates on the table, and then said loudly: "No way, wounds can't touch water, especially head wounds. Let's go to the hospital immediately and get you bandaged!"

  "Never mind! I'm really fine."

  Li Ruoxi looked at Wang Ke's persistent appearance, without even stopping her footsteps, and walked towards the bathroom. Her face suddenly turned anxious, she quickly chased after him, stretched out her hand to grab his arm, and said in a low voice: "Since you don't want to go to the hospital, I'll personally bandage it for you. In the past, there was an elder sister in our family who studied medicine, I've seen her bandaging wounds on people's heads before. Wait here, I'll go to the community clinic to buy some anti-inflammatory medicine and gauze."

  As she spoke, she pulled Wang Ke to the living room sofa and reminded him again not to move around before grabbing her purse and rushing out of the house in a hurry, without even noticing that she still had an apron tied around her chest.

  Li Ruoxi's speed was very fast, Wang Ke could imagine how fast she ran, and he felt a little moved in his heart. As Li Ruoxi began to bandage his wound, he slowly closed his eyes.

  A vague and inexplicable feeling slowly grew in his heart, and he suddenly felt that having someone to take care of him when he was hurt wasn't a bad thing.

  Li Ruoxi's bandaging technique was clumsy, and after she finally managed to bandage Wang Ke with great difficulty, she said with a hint of embarrassment: "I've only seen my sister bandage others before, but I've never tried it myself. This is the first time, so if it's not done well, don't mind!"

  Wang Ke smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's nothing, I feel 'pretty' good!"

  Li Ruoxi's face flashed a smile, and then she suddenly froze in place, her smile solidifying on her face.

  "What's wrong?"

  Wang Ke's sharp perception picked up on Li Ruoxi's change, and he asked in puzzlement.

  Li Ruoxi stared blankly at Wang Ke, her lips moving a few times before she finally spoke up: "What did you just say? You passed by the construction site south of the antique market? You saved a construction worker who fell from over 20 meters high in mid-air? Are you out of your mind? Someone falling from such a height, do you dare to stretch out your hand to catch them? Can you even catch them?"

  Wang Ke suddenly understood why Li Ruoxi had such an expression, nodded and smiled: "Catch a worker falling from such a high place, of course I won't be so relaxed. Look at my two arms? When I caught the person, due to the person's downward force, my two arms were dislocated. Fortunately, I cultivated true energy and forced myself to exert a little strength, and managed to put my dislocated arms back in place. However, for the next three or four days, my arms probably won't be able to exert too much strength."

  Dislocated shoulders?

  Did you pick it up yourself?

  Li Ruoxi stared at Wang Ke as if she was looking at a monster, her breathing involuntarily stopped.

  Those unbelievable beautiful eyes stared at Wang Ke, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "There are not many people in this life who can make me admit defeat, but you, Wang Ke, are one of them. It's too unbelievable, you can actually catch someone falling from over 20 meters high, and even reconnect your own dislocated arms. Monster, you're really a monster that appears once in a million."

  Wang Ke rolled his eyes and laughed: "Are you praising me or scolding me? Why do I feel like something's off about this?"

  Li Ruoxi was taken aback and lost her smile, pointing to the dining table and saying: "Can you still eat with your hands? If you don't eat soon, I'm afraid the food will get cold."
