Chapter 903 - 899: The Pain Behind the Cold Exterior
If Adison Claire were successfully rescued, that would be fine, but if due to a mistake of his own, a mishap occurred and she was harmed, Xiao Tian felt it was utterly unacceptable.After a moment, seeing Adison Claire still with resolute eyes and an determined posture, Xiao Tian steeled his heart, finally confirming: "Have you thought it through? Once we start, you won’t have a chance to regret!"
Adison Claire nodded firmly, without saying much.
Xiao Tian took a deep breath, once again gathering True Qi, directing it towards Adison Claire’s Dantian, charging towards the location of the mutation virus.
This time, Xiao Tian, having set aside all concerns, no longer took a conservative approach but advanced rapidly, swiftly crashing into the tangled chaos of meridians.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Adison Claire’s delicate body trembled violently, feeling a sharp, piercing pain surge to her heart, leading to instability in standing, black spots clouding her vision as countless gold stars danced.
Adison Claire’s heart skipped a beat; her intuition told her she must not fall at this moment. However, it’s as though she lost control over her body; continual orders from her brain yielded no effective feedback.
Luckily, there seemed to be an invisible suction from Xiao Tian’s hands that kept her from falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, as Xiao Tian broke through the chaotic meridians, a white line-like object promptly detached, following the outer wall of the meridian upwards, seemingly aiming for the brain.
Of course, Xiao Tian couldn’t let it succeed. While quickly pursuing it with True Qi, he also swiftly locked onto the mutation virus’ position, starting to predict its path forward.
Yet, despite pinpointing its route multiple times, the mutation virus consistently evaded him, swiftly choosing new paths as it ascended rapidly.
At this time, after Xiao Tian repeatedly struck her meridians with great force, Adison Claire felt an unprecedented level of pain, one capable of overwhelming her spirit and causing unconsciousness, surpassing her previous understanding of pain.
Previously, Adison Claire thought pain’s stimulation would make one more alert, but now she felt an extreme pain that genuinely brought a desire to faint.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Adison Claire wouldn’t experience such intense reaction and pain, but the mutation virus was too fast, forcing Xiao Tian to intercept swiftly.
Thus, precise control over the strength was needed; too light wouldn’t stop the swift mutation virus, and too heavy, alongside the momentum of a rapid strike, naturally necessitated some heavier blows for insurance.
However, Xiao Tian’s attention currently was wholly set on the rapidly escaping mutation virus, somewhat igniting his anger after repeated failures, even considering completely blocking the mutation virus’s route.
Fortunately, although anger was stirred, Xiao Tian’s rationality hadn’t escaped him, nor had he adopted such a frenzied approach.
In the next moment, as the mutation virus bypassed Xiao Tian’s blockade once again, continuing upward, Xiao Tian quickly responded, trapping it halfway.
Having done this, Xiao Tian maintained high-intensity True Qi output, while driving True Qi to steadily push the captured mutation virus downward.
Reaching this point, Xiao Tian could finally breathe a temporary sigh of relief but realized that until it’s driven out, true relaxation wasn’t yet possible.
The powerful output of True Qi maneuvered the mutation virus to carefully bypass major meridians, searching for a safe point for a decisive move, attempting to force it from Adison Claire’s body.
However, wholly concentrated, Xiao Tian hadn’t noticed, facing him, Adison Claire’s face reddened like a cooked lobster.
Adison Claire embarrassingly felt her chest touched by a large hand, but seeing Xiao Tian’s earnest face without any lewd expression, she had no choice but to endure her awkwardness, simply hoping time would pass quickly to end this humiliating sensation.
Yet, though filled with extreme embarrassment, Adison Claire found the pain no longer as unbearable, a blessing in disguise!
Soon, Xiao Tian said in a low voice: "Endure it!"
Having said this, not waiting for Adison Claire’s response, he pointed his fingers as a knife toward the frightening scar in front and lightly slashed.
Bright red blood gushed out like a spring, while Adison Claire, despite the shock, felt just a slight pain, nothing unbearable.
As she wondered whether Xiao Tian was making a fuss over nothing, a sudden ripping pain arrived, and at the same time, a clanging sound echoed near her ear.
However, Adison Claire couldn’t immediately check the source of the sound, focusing instead on using deep breaths to alleviate the relentless intense pain.
Clenching her teeth tightly and forcing herself to endure, Adison Claire shakily looked towards the floor, seeing a small, blood-stained metal object with vague rust marks.
From its appearance, it seemed similar to an electronic chip but larger than a typical one.
Though she had never seen it before, Adison Claire was certain it was the listening device that had been inside her body for two years.
For two years, Adison Claire dared not speak much; even when students visited, needing answers or explanations, she only spoke after thorough consideration, a reason why she was often misunderstood.
In the eyes of others, Adison Claire seemed very aloof; speaking ten sentences to her, receiving just one reply was considered lucky.
Yet only Adison Claire herself knew the hardship: she wasn’t unwilling to talk but couldn’t, as even one word too many could bring calamity—each word spoken was carefully considered multiple times.
It naturally gave a cold impression.
Luckily, her formidable image kept most people at a distance, and she didn’t care much about others’ opinions.
Otherwise, someone else might have been driven mad long ago!
Now seeing the metal listening device on the floor, Adison Claire found the intense pain not as unbearable, tempted to shout out.
But she knew that despite the listening device’s removal, the most deadly mutation virus still existed, thus suppressing inner excitement, choosing to wait in peace.
In a daze, Adison Claire seemed to see a great door opening, with infinite light inside.
A moment later, as Xiao Tian suddenly intensified the output of True Qi, the mutation virus, which troubled Adison Claire and resembled a death blade suspended in the air, finally revealed its true form...
