Chapter 40: Recovery from Injuries (Part 5)

  Su Hui rushed towards Su Ming with abandon, and although he was injured, it would have been easy to kill Su Ming at this moment. However, Su Lao, who had arrived at the Beast Fighting Arena earlier, appeared beside Su Ming first and struck back at Su Hui with a casual wave of his hand.

  "This match is won by Su Ming." Old Su announced the result of the match, and at this time several people who were concerned about Su Ming all came to the arena.

  Su Lao grasped Su Ming's right hand and let out a sigh of relief when he felt that there was still a hint of life left in him. He immediately sent a second-grade healing pill into Su Ming's mouth. In fact, he had third-grade healing pills on him, but he didn't dare give them to Su Ming because his current state of mind couldn't withstand the effects of the third-grade pills.

  If Su Lao's idea was known to the little elf, he would definitely be despised by the little elf: You can't bear it, but that doesn't represent me. I am an all-powerful system little elf. Don't mention three-grade elixir, even divine elixir, I can swallow it too.

  Su Ming's injury was too severe and couldn't be cured by a second-grade elixir. The second-grade elixir could only stop the bleeding for him, but to recover from his injuries, he still had to rely on himself.

  Su Ming was able to withstand Su Huan's strongest move, not because his strength surpassed Su Qing's, nor was it due to his exceptional defense. Rather, it was because he had been constantly dodging and weaving from the moment Su Huan launched her attack, combining his Cloud Shadow Steps with his Invisible Sword to push his speed to the limit. Although he couldn't avoid the blow entirely, he managed to evade its strongest point and received the weakest part of the attack in his best state.

  It was just then that Su Ming suffered a severe injury, and as he was about to fall, he forcibly propped up his heavily injured body, swallowed an inferior Lingdan, and recovered some of his spiritual energy. After that, Su Ming struck out with a palm at Su Huan, but unfortunately, his injuries were too severe at the time, otherwise, the Cloud Dispelling Palm, aided by the Shield Breaking Technique, would have been enough to kill Su Huan.

  Su Lao placed his palm on Su Ming's chest, slowly channeling spiritual energy into Su Ming's body. At this moment, he felt that Su Ming's ribs were all broken and his internal organs had shifted out of place. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to survive, let alone continue fighting.

  Is Su Ming still human? A strange thought emerged in Old Su's mind.

  Su Lao's momentary distraction caused the spiritual energy within him to continuously flow towards Su Ming, and he couldn't stop it. When his spiritual energy was reduced to only three-tenths, the suction force from Su Ming's chest finally dissipated.

  Su Lao was a warrior who had half a foot in the Tianling Realm, with enough spiritual energy inside him to be majestic. Su Ming's small mortal heart realm had absorbed 70% of it; if he had broken through, it might have been understandable, but Su Ming had only replenished his internal spiritual energy.

  Bizarre, it's really bizarre, what happened to Su Ming's body has already exceeded the understanding of normal thinking.

  After obtaining Su Lao's spiritual power, Su Ming's internal injuries were suppressed, and the rampaging spiritual power was also calmed. However, he was too severely injured, and an ordinary person would need at least several months or even a year to recover. Fortunately, Su Ming was still young; otherwise, his life would have been ruined.

  Under Su Lao's escort, Su Ming returned to his stone house. Su Lao arranged for a congenital martial artist and two mortal realm martial artists to guard Su Ming before leaving the small yard and heading towards the backyard where the clan leader was recovering from his injuries.

  The result of this tribal leader election was greatly beyond everyone's expectation. Su Ming won the competition, but he was seriously injured and fainted. Judging from his injuries, his cultivation was basically ruined, and whether he could survive was also a question. For a time, rumors spread throughout the Su tribe.

  After several days, Su Ming still hadn't woken up, while Su Hao's injuries were getting more and more severe, to the point where he couldn't focus on anything else. Under these circumstances, Old Man Su announced that Su Xuan would temporarily take over as the head of the Su family, until Su Ming recovered from his injuries.

  After Su Huan took office, the first thing he did was to let Su Bo take over Su Qing's position. The reason is that the Su clan is in a special period and Su Qing has injuries on his body and cannot hold the position of leader.

  After Su Qing lost the leading position, the power of Su Han's system was even more oppressed, and these things were not stopped by Su Lao. He guarded Su Ming every day to prevent Su Hui from taking action against Su Ming.

  Time slips away quietly...

  On the tenth day of Su Ming's severe injury and coma, the inner courtyard of the Su family received news from the mining area that Su Huan led the tribal warriors to be trapped again. This time, the Taishi tribe mobilized 6,000 warriors, vowing to annihilate the army led by Su Han.

  Su Huan did not want to provide support, but under pressure, he issued the order for reinforcements. However, he did not let Su Po lead the troops, instead letting Su Qing, who was injured, go on the expedition alone to the affiliated tribe of the Su clan, the Qing Shui tribe, and transfer the 2,000 tribal warriors stationed there to support Su Han.

  This order of Su Huan is extremely vicious, the Qing Shui tribe has been following the Su family since Su Hao established the Su family, and the Su family has intermarried with the Qing Shui tribe. The sister of the chief of the Qing Shui tribe was married to Su Hao, who is also the mother of Su Qing.

  Su Qing's mother returned to the Qing Shui tribe to recuperate after giving birth to Su Qing, but unexpectedly, the Qing Shui tribe was attacked by neighboring tribes. Su Qing's mother died protecting Su Qing, and Su Hao, in a fit of rage, led his army to annihilate that tribe and left 2,000 soldiers to guard the Qing Shui tribe.

  For many years, the Su clan has maintained two thousand warriors to guard the Qing Shui tribe. Many tribal warriors have settled down in the Qing Shui tribe and started their families. The Qing Shui tribe is almost one family with the Su clan.

  Su Huan's decision was opposed by many officials, and even Su Lao came out to stop him. However, Su Huan said: "I can barely protect myself, how can I protect others? If you want to send reinforcements to Su Han, the only option is the 2,000 soldiers from the Qing Shui tribe."

  In the end, Su Qing made the same decision as Su Huan and took Su Wei to the Qing Shui tribe. Even if he was considered a criminal, he had to rescue Su Han. Only by rescuing Su Huan could the Su tribe be preserved. If they let Su Huan continue like this, the Su tribe would definitely decline, and when that time came, the Qing Shui tribe would not be able to preserve itself either.

  Su Qing had just set out when Su Hui began to implement his own plan. As long as Su Han and Su Qing died in the war, he would take action against those in the clan who did not obey him. At the same time, he also wanted to get rid of Su Lao, because Su Lao had always protected Su Ming's family, making it impossible for him to deal with Su Ming. As long as Su Ming was still alive, he would be uneasy every day. Moreover, he also had the intention of taking advantage of Xi Yu.

  Since he last saw Xiuyu at the Kaozhongtai, he had been thinking of taking her as his concubine, but unfortunately, Xiuyu did not take a single step out of Su Ming's rented courtyard, leaving him with no opportunity to make a move.

  Unfortunately, Su Huian didn't have time to carry out his plan, as Su Ming miraculously woke up and fully recovered from his injuries.

  As for such an incredible thing happening to Su Ming, Su Lao was already used to it, while Gu Lan and Xi Yu put down the stone in their hearts and smiled on their faces.

  Under Su Lao's notification, Su Ming knew the recent situation of the Su family tribe. After discussing for a while, Su Ming quietly left the Su family tribe.
