Chapter 154 Half a Point of Damage
Uncle Zhou didn't bother with the kick Liu Wentian sent his way, planning to directly block with his aggressive approach. A normal kick posed no harm to him whatsoever.
"Be careful!" Zhao Han exclaimed.
"Xiao Han, don't worry. Ah Wei knows his limits and won't really hurt him, at most he'll send him to the hospital for a few days. It's actually good for a young man to suffer a bit to learn a lesson," Han Wuhuan said indifferently.
Uncle Zhou's real name was Zhou Wei, and Ah Wei referred to him.
"I'm not telling Liu Wentian to be careful, I'm telling Uncle Zhou—"
Bang!!
Zhao Han hadn't finished speaking when Uncle Zhou, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward from the doorway into the house, landing on the floor and sliding for 78 meters.
"Wow!!"
Uncle Zhou couldn't help but spit out mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes wide with terror as he looked at Liu Wentian.
He felt as if he hadn't been kicked by a person, but had been hit by a car head-on, completely powerless to resist!!
Even back in the day in the Military Region, facing a ping pong player who had entered the Realm of Ancient Martial Arts, he had never been kicked so horribly!!
Han Wuhuan's expression froze, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
He finally understood that Zhao Han's earlier caution was not for the youngster to be careful, but for Uncle Zhou to be careful!!
Zhao Han's face wore a bitter smile as he looked at Uncle Zhou, having no strength to criticize. Liu Wentian was an expert who had fought with Blood Night Mystical Level members. Uncle Zhou, you're seeking punishment by trying to block such a person's kick with aggression!!
Liu Wentian ignored the varying expressions of the people around and ran directly to the second floor.
There were not many rooms on the second floor, and he easily spotted one with several cute wallpapers on the door, like Princess Purple Snow and Hello Kitty. This girl really was still a child.
Liu Wentian was not in the mood to pay attention to these things and walked straight up to the door, pushing it.
The door was locked from the inside.
"Ruguo, are you in there?" Liu Wentian frowned and called out, but received no response.
Bang!!
Without any hesitation, he kicked directly at the lock, and the door flew open.
He walked in, didn't see Han Guo, but heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Liu Wentian walked up to the bathroom door, knocked, and called, "Ruguo, are you in there? Are you okay?"
But still, no one answered, and besides the sound of water spraying from the showerhead, Liu Wentian also heard a faint sound almost impossible to discern.
"Damn it! Something really has happened!"
At this moment, he couldn't worry about whether she was clothed or not, seeing that the door was locked, he kicked it open again.
Inside the bathroom, the scene was somewhat eerie.
Han Guo's delicate body lay naked on the ground, motionless, seemingly without any sign of life.
The showerhead sprayed warm water over her flawless jade body, creating clouds of steam. Through the mist, even her long hair seemed to have a layer of faint ice-cold frost.
"What's going on here?"
Zhao Han also rushed in and jumped at the bizarre scene.
After speaking, she quickly turned around to block Han Wuhuan and others who followed inside, from entering the bathroom.
"Ruguo's not dressed, no men are allowed in!"
"What?? Then hurry up and get that youngster out too!" Han Wuhuan exclaimed in shock.
"Uncle, it's an emergency right now. Liu Wentian is here to treat Ruguo! Ruguo's condition is very strange right now; it must be the 'Heaven Yin Energy' Liu Wentian mentioned has erupted. We can't be concerned about that now!"
Although Zhao Han also felt it was inappropriate for Liu Wentian to stay in there, they had no other choice at the moment.
"What do you mean?? Could it be that Ruguo's illness hasn't been treated??" Han Wuhuan asked in shock.
"Of course, it hasn't been treated!" Zhao Han replied irritably, certain from Ruguo's strange appearance just now that something was wrong. This proved that everything Liu Wentian and she had said was true!!
She glared irritably at the so-called divine doctor Lai Liangbai, her tone icy, "It seems you really are a quack!"
Han Yaode's complexion also changed, his gaze intense as he stared at Lai Liangbai, gritting his teeth, "Lai Liangbai, if Ruguo's illness hasn't been treated, you dared to deceive me!! That means her earlier improvement wasn't your doing, was it?? You dared to deceive me, you deserve to die!!"
His words were almost roared out. The usually composed city official swore at this moment.
He was beyond furious because if this quack's nonsense hadn't been spoken, he might have driven away the real genius doctor.
If something really happened to Ruguo, he would lose his daughter forever!!
"I, I… Old Han, there must have been some mistake. Don't worry, I will surely cure Miss Han!" Lai Liangbai said in panic, already quite certain that the reason for Han Guo's previous improvement was because of that young auger inside!!
This youngster wasn't even thirty, yet his medical skills surpassed his own. He really didn't want to admit it, but denying it wouldn't work either, as the facts were right before his eyes!!
By then, Liu Wentian had already wrapped Han Guo's body with a bathrobe, only her pretty face was visible, as he carried her out.
Hearing Lai Liangbai's words, he sneered, "Do you think you can cure her?? Fine!! Then try to treat her!!"
Lai Liangbai, seeing the somewhat cyanotic face of Han Guo and the cold frost on her face and hair, visibly paled, stretched out his hand to check her breath, and exclaimed, "Ah! Miss Han is already dead! There's no breath!"
"What did you say??" Han Wuhuan's body trembled, his eyes bulging.
"Auntie!!" Han Guo's mother, Liu Yuxin, staggered a bit, and Zhao Han quickly supported her.
Liu Yuxin's face was pale, tears flowing down, her voice trembling as she almost shouted at Lai Liangbai, "What... what did you say?? Guo Guo is dead?? How could Guo Guo possibly be dead!! You're talking nonsense, nonsense!"
"Alas! Madam Han, please restrain your grief. Miss Han is already out of breath!" Lai Liangbai shook his head, "Even if an immortal were to come, there would be no means to return her spirit!"
"To say you're an incompetent doctor, you really are one. Who told you that no breath means she's already dead? Get out! Don't hinder my treatment!"
Liu Wentian directly pushed Lai Liangbai away and placed Han Guo on her bed.
"Liu Wentian, no, Doctor Liu, can you really bring Guo Guo back to life? Please, you must save her!" Han Wuhuan almost pleaded.
"Rest assured, I will bring her back to life. Now, all of you, please leave!"
"We should leave?" Han Wuhuan hesitated for a moment. Han Guo was wearing only a bathrobe at the moment, nothing else, and if they all left, only Han Guo and Liu Wentian would be left in the room.
However, he was ultimately a decisive person. His daughter's life was at stake, leaving no room for hesitation. Clenching his teeth, he said, "Okay, we'll all leave! Please take care of her!"
Lai Liangbai was busy saying, "Mr. Han—you really trust this youth? Miss Han has already—"
Smack!
Before he could finish speaking, Han Wuhuan slapped him across the face.
"Shut your mouth! Lai Liangbai, you had better hope my daughter is fine, otherwise, you won't be able to escape responsibility for this matter!" Han Wuhuan's eyes were fierce as he shouted.
If it weren't for this incompetent doctor forcibly claiming he cured his daughter's illness, they would have sought Liu Wentian much earlier and perhaps this situation would never have reached this point.
The slap brought Lai Liangbai back to his senses, finally realizing that his lie had been exposed and had thoroughly infuriated this prominent figure of Shenming City.
His face was filled with fear.
After everyone left and the door was closed, Liu Wentian immediately tore off Han Guo's bathrobe, revealing her flawless jade body.
At this moment, he was not at all concerned about these things.
He took out the silver needles, inserting them into acupuncture points such as Heavenly Rush, Spirit Void, Meeting Sea, and Air Gate, but despite his fingers dancing like a phantom, moving the silver needles in any which way, Han Guo remained motionless, her body lifeless.

"It seems, now, using the 'Eight Trigrams Shifting Spirit Needle' has no effect. Perhaps the 'Soul-keeping Needle' might work, but the 'Soul-keeping Needle' requires a medicinal primer, and where can I find one now!"
Liu Wentian's brow was furrowed, his expression grave.
The "Eight Trigrams Shifting Spirit Needle" worked by stimulating the human body's potential, allowing the body to rapidly recover. However, Han Guo's internal organs were all frozen; life had left her, rendering the "Eight Trigrams Shifting Spirit Needle" ineffective.
The "Soul-keeping Needle" relied on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, using external forces to pull a person back from Ghost Gate Pass. Even if the oil was exhausted and the lamp withered, it could forcibly keep the soul for a duration.
But now, where would he find any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to keep Han Guo's soul?
"I've got it! I've been cultivating the 'Heaven and Earth Demons Gods Technique,' my blood containing the essence of utmost yang and stiffness; using my own blood as a medicinal primer should work."
Liu Wentian excitedly exclaimed, but then fell silent, his own blood unexpectedly acting as a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.
At this moment, Han Guo felt as if she were in a cold, icy cave, or rather, as if her whole body was encased in a block of ice.
This sensation made her desperately despairing, wanting to scream, yet unable to produce a sound.
She felt her consciousness fading.
Was she about to die?
At this time, several figures appeared in Han Guo's mind; there were her parents, her cousin, and also a man's figure—it was Liu Wentian.
Seeing Liu Wentian, Han Guo wanted to run towards him, but she couldn't move at all.
Uncle, aren't you my guardian angel? Please come and save Guo Guo, it hurts so much, it's so cold.
Han Guo called out desperately in her mind.
Suddenly, she felt a warm flow enter her mouth, then, this warm flow surged through her limbs, gradually diminishing the cold feeling.
Her body slowly regained its strength, and she slowly opened her eyes.
A somewhat purplish face appeared before her.
"Uncle~~~" Han Guo cried out, as if she had already known that Liu Wentian would come to save her.
Then, she noticed that Liu Wentian's wrist had been cut open, a fresh wound from which blood was flowing into her mouth.
Han Guo's face changed; her uncle was actually using his own blood to save her, that warm flow was indeed his blood!
In an instant, tears uncontrollably welled up in Han Guo's eyes, and she was about to throw herself into Liu Wentian's arms.
"Miao miao... Uncle~~~"
But instead, she was stopped mid-air as Liu Wentian held her head.
"Don't move around; the silver needles on your body haven't been removed yet."
Liu Wentian said weakly, then proceeded to remove the silver needles from Han Guo's body. After removing the needles, he felt his entire body was weak and trembling, his legs shaking.
