CHAPTER 778: CHAPTER 315: NEW FUNCTION OF KILLING DREAM_2
But unexpectedly, while her physical injuries were completely healed, Ning Yuchan had not yet woken up.
It could be confirmed that Ning Yuchan’s Divine Soul must have been injured.
And not lightly!
In terms of treating Divine Soul injuries, Xu Jin also didn’t have very effective methods.
First, Xu Jin performed Warm Dream on Ning Yuchan.
Warm Dream itself had the effect of healing Divine Soul injuries.
Afterward, Xu Jin stuffed a Three Yin Clearing Mind Pill into Ning Yuchan’s mouth.
Besides restoring the power of the Divine Soul, the Three Yin Clearing Mind Pill also had a slight healing effect on Divine Soul injuries.
The Third Essence’s pill was even more extraordinary.
However, there was no immediate method for healing Divine Soul injuries.
It required time.
If she wasn’t better in a day or two, Xu Jin could only resort to using the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed.
The Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed also had the effect of treating hidden injuries of the Divine Soul.
This made Xu Jin determined to find some pills or Cultivation Techniques in the future that could heal the Divine Soul injuries.
So that he wouldn’t be helpless if the Divine Soul was gravely wounded!
Having done all this, as Xu Jin sensed the drug efficacy of the Third Essence’s Three Yin Clearing Mind Pill dissipating inside Ning Yuchan’s body and believed it should heal Ning Yuchan’s injuries, he was about to leave when,
Ning Yuchan suddenly showed a pained expression, and even her beautiful face contorted fiercely!
This greatly surprised Xu Jin.
He performed Warm Dream again; this time, Xu Jin fully activated Warm Dream, lightly laying his hand on Ning Yuchan’s forehead—Killing Dream!
He directly pulled Ning Yuchan into the Killing Dream.
Xu Jin wanted to see for himself what exactly was the situation with Ning Yuchan’s Divine Soul injuries.
There were two ways to pull a target into Killing Dream: one was through eye contact, and the other was by touching the head.
In battle, touching the head was simply impossible, so the only option was eye contact.
But this time, it came into use.
The next instant, heaven and earth changed, and Xu Jin saw Ning Yuchan.
In the realm of the Killing Dream, Ning Yuchan was entwined by a black dragon. Originally weak and feeble, but now with a continuous influx of external force, the weakened Ning Yuchan regained her strength, which also stirred up the ferocity of the black dragon.
It began tearing at Ning Yuchan’s Divine Soul, each tear causing Ning Yuchan to exhibit an extremely pained expression.
Dreams are a manifestation of one’s own Divine Soul.
In the Killing Dream, if Xu Jin eliminated the target, and the target died, that’s what the dream corresponded to in reality.
Now, without Xu Jin interfering with the dream, what the dream showed was Ning Yuchan’s current state.
At this moment, the suffering Ning Yuchan also noticed Xu Jin, and her expression turned to joy.
"Xu Jin, how come you’re here?"
"Quick, leave, this Alien Race member is too terrifying! It’s not something you or I can handle!" This was the second thing Ning Yuchan said upon noticing Xu Jin.
"Sister Yu Chan, I’m here to help you, don’t resist any of my powers, just cooperate with me, close your eyes, and block out all perceptions," Xu Jin suddenly said.
Ning Yuchan’s instinct was to urge Xu Jin to leave, but seeing his extremely serious expression, she said nothing more, instead, enduring the pain, she gently nodded and then closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Jin felt a touch of joy.
Indeed, a woman who listens is the most comforting to a man.
The next instant, Thunder Light poured down, drenching the top of Ning Yuchan’s head.
To be precise, it drenched the black dragon that was coiled around Ning Yuchan’s Divine Soul.
With her eyes closed, Ning Yuchan had blocked out all perceptions. Xu Jin was using the tactic of using falsehood to execute reality. By cutting off all perceptions, it was as if nothing happened, thus naturally, Ning Yuchan wouldn’t be harmed.
But the black dragon wrapped around Ning Yuchan was being continuously dissolved by the Thunder Light.
The more the Thunder Light bombarded, the more savage the dragon became, roaring at Xu Jin.
Pity that, in the dream realm of Killing Dream, Xu Jin was the ruler, Xu Jin was the King, no matter how fierce it was, it was futile.
After a dozen breaths, the black dragon was completely extinguished by Xu Jin using Thunder Light.
Ning Yuchan only felt a lightening of her body, as if a burden had been lifted!
Xu Jin, however, was somewhat worried.
This method of using falsehood to execute reality within the Killing Dream, he had only used it to eliminate enemies, but healing injuries was a first for him, and he wasn’t certain of the outcome.
"Sister Yu Chan, your Divine Soul injury is quite peculiar; I’m not sure if it’s been healed. If it’s healed, you will wake up soon, if not, remember, maintain your focus on the Upper Star Palace and rotate your Divine Soul Star. I will persistently heal you," Xu Jin instructed.
"I’ll remember that."
The next instant, Xu Jin voluntarily exited the Killing Dream.
The instant he exited the Killing Dream, Xu Jin left the camproom immediately.
Before leaving, he took a glance at Ning Yuchan’s countenance, which no longer bore the previous pained and fierce expression, perhaps indicating that the treatment was effective.
*****
It was also at the moment when Xu Jin exited the Killing Dream.
In a Sixth-Tier Star Domain, an Alien Race warrior clad in mysterious robes with golden horns on his head suddenly furrowed his brow, then just as casually burst out laughing, "To think that my Black Dragon Curse could be cleansed, it seems there are indeed capable individuals among the human race."
As soon as these words were spoken, a subordinate stepped forward, "Ju Zhang, would you like me to stealthily go over and take care of it, to prevent the humans from discovering your identity?"
"No need! To stealth over and cleanse it would only complicate matters.
At present, I have arrived successfully and must first complete the mission for our race.
Besides, just because they can cleanse the Black Dragon Curse doesn’t mean they know its origin," said the golden-horned man named Ju Zhang.
"Yes."
The subordinate retreated, and the banquet continued, shockingly among those at his table were several Star Domain Kings of this Sixth-Tier Star Domain.
*****
Inside the barracks, after having a strange dream, Ning Yuchan felt a sense of unprecedented lightness all over her body and slowly opened her eyes.
What met her eyes was the familiar barracks.
However, she did not immediately get up but instead savored the memory of the dream.
She had actually dreamed about that guy, Xu Jin.
And he saved her!
Suddenly, Ning Yuchan’s expression changed, and she closed her eyes to look inward again; in the next moment, she discovered that the black serpent entwined around her Divine Soul Star, which had caused her unbearable pain, had actually disappeared!
Really?
The dream was actually real!
Caught off guard, Ning Yuchan opened her eyes, abruptly sat up, and instinctively called out, "Xu Jin!"
Outside the tent, Xu Jin, who heard Ning Yuchan’s exclamation, let out a sigh of relief.
It worked!
This was discovering a new function of Killing Dream.
It could kill, and it could save.
This Killing Dream was truly extraordinary.
Carefully, Xu Jin slowly withdrew.
Inside the tent, the Personal Guard Captain Yuan Jing was startled awake by Ning Yuchan’s exclamation, and in her half-asleep state, hearing Ning Yuchan looking for Xu Jin, her face turned pale.
Having just returned from battle half a day ago, she was already aware of many things.
With the Star-picking Order, getting updated about the current affairs was quite easy.
This half-day, the most talked-about subject among the soldiers, including the members of the mercenary squad, was the death in battle of Da Chen National Daoist School’s peerless genius Xu Jin.
Being the Personal Guard Captain, Yuan Jing knew early on about the relationship between Ning Yuchan and Xu Jin.
Seeing Ning Yuchan now looking for Xu Jin, the still groggy Personal Guard Captain Yuan Jing instinctively comforted her, "Vice Governor Ning, you already know? The deceased is gone, you must mourn properly!"
"What mourning properly?" Ning Yuchan, who had just sat up looking for someone, suddenly changed her expression, and seeing Yuan Jing’s look, urgently asked, "Clarify yourself, what mourning properly, who died?"
Yuan Jing then fully awakened.
Filled with regret and realizing the truth could not be hidden, everyone in the camp, especially those mercenary squads, discussed the death of the exceptional genius Xu Jin after meals.
There were theorists of conspiracy, arrogance, fate, internal plotting, and external sabotage, sometimes even arguing until they were red in the face!
"Vice Governor Ning, it’s... Xu Jin died in battle!"
"That’s impossible!"
Ning Yuchan laughed incredulously, "I just saw him, you must be joking with me."
"Vice Governor Ning, you can ask the others if you wish."
In the next moment, Ning Yuchan picked up the Star-picking Order and sent out two Starlight Transmissions.
The one sent to Xu Jin failed, but the one to Dong Zhao received a reply, "Yuchan, mourn properly!"
But just seeing that Starlight Transmission, Ning Yuchan was stunned.
She stood frozen in place for a long while, then stubbornly shook her head, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Outside the barracks, Xu Jin chuckled bitterly and quietly left.
He did not want to see Ning Yuchan suffer because of his supposed death.
But in the short term, he still couldn’t reveal his identity!
Neither the Star Halls nor the Qian’an Emperor were fools!
Ning Yuchan, on her end, would most likely be a prime subject of their scrutiny.
For now, it could only be this way.
A dozen breaths later, Xu Jin invisibly and stealthily returned to his own courtyard, preparing to stealthily enter.
But as he was invisible outside the courtyard, the Lower Star Palace’s Mingji Star Pattern suddenly started flashing.
There was a cultivator nearby!
Very close!
But no one was in sight!
Xu Jin was shocked; had he encountered a Pretender?
