Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing naturally knew these people were already dead, yet he was still puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with being dead?"

Lin Tianyou replied, "The use of Mu Ling is on the living, it can only detoxify when the blood is flowing. But these people are all dead, their blood has long ceased to flow, Mu Ling simply can't help detoxify for them!"

"Is there such a saying?" Ye Qing was surprised; he had possessed Mu Ling for so long, yet hadn't known this.

Actually, this couldn't be blamed on him. The main reason was that he hadn't used Mu Ling on dead people. Such knowledge was only known to Lin Tianyou, who inherited Divine Doctor An Shiping's complete legacy, and others probably couldn't even hope to know it. After all, who would research whether Mu Ling has any effect on dead people? Only the line of Divine Doctor An Shiping, who has the ability to resurrect the dead, could study these matters; others simply wouldn't study these things.

"Mu Ling won't work. I also have these medicines!" Ye Qing took out some fragments of the Devouring Demon Flower and said, "This medicine can quickly detoxify, effective against any poison, and should be better than the antidotes you formulated!"

Seeing the fragments of the Devouring Demon Flower, Lin Tianyou was obviously a bit surprised. He picked up the fragments and examined them carefully before asking in amazement, "What is this thing?"

Ye Qing didn't hide anything from Lin Tianyou; he directly explained the origin of these Devouring Demon Flower fragments. Of course, after explaining, he also warned Lin Tianyou not to leak this matter. After all, this is too shocking, and if it spreads, who knows what chaos it could cause in the world!

"Fragments of the Devouring Demon Flower!" Lin Tianyou was even more shocked, clearly having seen records about the Devouring Demon Flower in Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy. He examined the fragments thoroughly for a long time, finally sighing and saying, "These can't be used either!"

"Why is that?" Ye Qing asked astonished, "Does this thing also require flowing blood to use?"

"That's not it!" Lin Tianyou shook his head and said, "However, the power contained within these fragments is simply too overwhelming. A person who doesn't know martial arts might unable to withstand the power inside. Especially these people, who've just been saved and whose life force is very fragile. If they are impacted again by the power of the Devouring Demon Flower, they might die instantly, unable to serve the purpose of saving them!"

"Ah?" Ye Qing was speechless for a moment, looking at Lin Tianyou, saying, "What… what should we do then?"

Lin Tianyou sighed, looking at the hundreds of corpses here, and said, "We can only use inner strength to force out the poison from their bodies!"

Ye Qing frowned, seeing hundreds of corpses, a hundred dead people. If Lin Tianyou were to use inner strength to force out the poison from each of them, even with his vast strength, it wouldn't be enough to sustain this effort. And since the people from the Five Poison Sect had done this, it was clearly targeting Lin Tianyou. When Lin Tianyou's power is exhausted, the people from the Five Poison Sect will immediately appear to deal with Lin Tianyou.

Actually, the people from the Five Poison Sect had already calculated that Lin Tianyou wouldn't leave them to die for sure. In this regard, Lin Tianyou and his master, Divine Doctor An Shiping, are the same. Moreover, this is why An Shiping chose Lin Tianyou to inherit his legacy initially. Lin Tianyou risked his life to save a wicked person back then, and now with hundreds of innocent people dead here, how could Lin Tianyou sit idly by? It must be said that the people from the Five Poison Sect are extremely cunning and insidious, setting this trap knowing Lin Tianyou's character—he would jump into it even knowing it's a trap!

"The Five Poison Sect is really despicable!" Ye Qing took a deep breath, looking at the hundreds of corpses in the pit, and said, "You can't use inner strength to force out their poison; that way, when your power is exhausted, the people from the Five Poison Sect surely won't spare you!"

"As a doctor, saving lives is my duty. If I didn't have the ability, that would be one thing. Since I have the ability to save them, how could I possibly stand by and watch them die?" Lin Tianyou looked at Ye Qing and said, "Ye Zi, I know you're worried about me. But, this is a matter between me and the Five Poison Sect; I can't involve you. You should leave, I'll handle this here!"

"Nonsense!" Ye Qing responded with irritation, glaring at Lin Tianyou, "Do you think I'm the type who fears death?"

Lin Tianyou replied, "I know you're not the kind of person who fears death, but this is a private vendetta between Medicine King Mountain and the Five Poison Sect; it's not appropriate to involve others!"

"I'm not someone else!" Ye Qing retorted, directly picking up one of the corpses and said, "Enough of this talk, let me help you carry these corpses out first. Keeping them in this pit isn't right; if you're going to save them, you should at least put them on even ground first!"

Seeing how busy Ye Qing was, Lin Tianyou knew that Ye Qing would never leave him here alone. He sighed softly and stopped talking, then went over to start detoxifying those people Ye Qing had carried out.

These people had just been poisoned not long ago, most of them had already lost their breath, but they had just recently died. According to Divine Doctor An Shiping's theory, these people are in a state of false death and reviving them is relatively easier, given their bodies haven't suffered severe damage. Lin Tianyou, having received the power of Divine Doctor An Shiping and learned his medical skills, actually didn't find it difficult to resurrect these people.

Lin Tianyou first took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, poured out some pills from the bottle, and put one into a person's mouth. Then, he lifted one of the people up, quickly tapped a few important acupoints on this person, and this person's mouth suddenly opened, slowly exhaling a breath, and was actually revived.

However, Lin Tianyou did not dare to be careless; he simultaneously pressed his hands on this person's back, starting to use powerful Inner Strength to help the person detoxify.

The power of the Five Poisons Sect is actually quite average. With Lin Tianyou's Inner Strength, forcing out this poison is naturally no problem. However, this too is a process that consumes energy. Helping one person expel the poison would take three to five minutes. And there are over a hundred people here; how long would it take to revive them all? Moreover, the key issue is that even if Lin Tianyou can persist, continuously saving people, how long can his Inner Strength last?

With Ye Qing's help, Lin Tianyou managed to save over forty people in one breath. The poison in these people was all forced out by Lin Tianyou. While they had not yet awakened, their breathing gradually steadied, and their lives were no longer in danger.

After so much effort, night had fallen, and Lin Tianyou was exhausted, clearly low on Inner Strength. At this rate, before he finished saving everyone, Lin Tianyou himself might die from exhaustion.

Ye Qing had been beside Lin Tianyou all along, moving the corpses out of the pit and placing them nearby. He could see that Lin Tianyou was extremely tired, which made Ye Qing even more worried.

The people from the Five Poisons Sect might be observing nearby, waiting for Lin Tianyou's strength to be completely exhausted before they make their move. When that time comes, how should they defend themselves?

"Why don't you take a break?" Ye Qing advised.

Lin Tianyou shook his head, looked at the sky, and said, "These people have only been dead for less than a day; resurrecting them is relatively easier. If it exceeds twenty-four hours, it will be more difficult. By then, reviving them won't be so simple. So, before noon tomorrow, I must save all these people, or a few might really die!"

"I'm afraid you won't last until noon tomorrow; you'll collapse from exhaustion first!" Ye Qing said.

Lin Tianyou gave a bitter smile but did not stop, lifting another person to begin detoxifying them.

Ye Qing had no choice but to stand by and watch, assisting Lin Tianyou by guarding against a possible sudden attack from the Five Poisons Sect.

Lin Tianyou seemed completely unaware of his surroundings, continuing to treat those people. However, his strength was evidently almost depleted, and detoxifying people felt a bit beyond his reach. Earlier, it took less than ten minutes to save one person, but now it took over half an hour.

After saving another three people, it was completely dark. The group was in the fields, surrounded by silence, with only occasional insect chirping, which made people's hearts tense intermittently.

When lifting the fourth person, Lin Tianyou had just revived this person and was about to use Inner Strength to detoxify them when his knees buckled, and he sat down heavily. He propped himself up with his hands, barely stood up again, and once more pressed his hands on that person's back, but his body kept swaying, indicating he was in a bad state.

"You better take a rest!" Ye Qing said, "You can't save anyone like this. It's better to rest a while and regain some Inner Strength first!"

Lin Tianyou sighed, slowly withdrew his hands, walked to the side, and sat down cross-legged, beginning to regulate his Inner Strength.

At this moment, a faint noise suddenly came from the edge of the field in the distance. Ye Qing immediately stood up, took a couple of steps over there, and looked over cautiously. But, just as he was approaching, someone suddenly sprang up from the pile of corpses beside him, launching like a cannonball toward Lin Tianyou. The palms struck Lin Tianyou directly!

Lin Tianyou was sitting cross-legged on the ground, regulating his Inner Strength, completely unprepared. Besides, he had exhausted his strength, and at this moment had none left. Being hit by those palms, he fell forward to the ground.

"Brother Lin!" Ye Qing exclaimed in shock.

"Hahaha..." That "corpse" laughed loudly, pointing at Lin Tianyou, and said, "Hmph, the disciple of Divine Doctor An Shiping is just as foolish as Divine Doctor An Shiping."
