Asou’s face changed drastically as he witnessed the scene, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.
Then, his gaze swept towards Xiao Yifeng, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
The chilly air kept pouring towards Xiao Yifeng non-stop, but his vitality was not extinguished.
Under this terrifying cold, even someone in the Entering Saint Realm like Asou would struggle to withstand it, let alone someone like Xiao Yifeng. One would think he would’ve already been frozen solid, his life force extinguished. But the fact that the other party was still alive naturally made Asou find it hard to believe.
At this moment, Xiao Yifeng was equally astonished. These four major acupoints were truly formidable; they could devour any energy, even such terrifying cold. It was simply horrifying.
However, it was precisely because of the acupoints’ powerful devouring ability that he wasn’t already turned into an ice block.
Under the strong devouring power of the four major acupoints, the freezing cold that immobilized everything around him surged towards him, and everything returned to normal.
Xiao Yifeng walked right up to Liusheng Yiyi, placed his hands on the ice sculpture that had frozen her, and the cold frantically flooded into his body. Soon, the icy figure of Liusheng Yiyi became visible, barely clinging to life, yet it was extremely feeble.
Asou watched all this with eyes filled with astonishment. He had never expected Xiao Yifeng to be able to absorb all of this cold air.
Soon, all the cold air released from Liusheng Yiyi was devoured by the four major acupoints within Xiao Yifeng’s body, and Liusheng Yiyi herself collapsed onto the ground.
Asou hastily walked over, his face full of urgent concern.
"Take her back to her room immediately, I will treat her!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke in a deep voice.
"Can you do it, or..."
Asou looked at Xiao Yifeng hesitantly.
"Only I can save her!"
Xiao Yifeng said sternly, picking up Liusheng Yiyi and walking towards the inside of the villa.
Placing Liusheng Yiyi in her room, Xiao Yifeng immediately took out an acupuncture set.
Silver needles pierced into Liusheng Yiyi’s body as fast as lightning.
Xiao Yifeng performed the Thirteen Needles of Divine Void, and this time he even self-harmed to extract essence and Qi, forcefully executing the tenth needle to stimulate Liusheng Yiyi’s vitality, reigniting the nearly extinguished flame of life within her.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yifeng spewed out blood violently, his complexion turned deathly pale, and he appeared extremely listless.
This time by forcibly using the tenth needle of the Thirteen Needles of Divine Void, he had expended a significant amount of essence and Qi, leaving his body incredibly weak.
Asou quickly stepped forward to support Xiao Yifeng.
"I’m fine, I just depleted some essence and Qi, I need a moment to recover my breath. As for Yiyi, she is out of danger now, and the cold within her has been suppressed by acupuncture in the acupoints. As long as she doesn’t suffer any new stimuli or pressure, she should be fine."
Xiao Yifeng said faintly, his voice revealing some weakness.
"Don’t thank me, Yiyi got into this trouble because of me in the first place. Saving her was something I ought to do. Look after her for a while, I need to go recover my breath."
After saying this, Xiao Yifeng returned to his own room, sat cross-legged on the bed, started running the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art, and began to absorb Star Energy to recover his body.
Although it was during the day, Xiao Yifeng was still able to absorb the Star Energy from the void, but it was much slower than at night.
After several hours of recuperation, Xiao Yifeng’s depleted vital energy had finally recovered somewhat, and his face no longer appeared so haggard.
This time, after the four major acupoints absorbed such a massive amount of cold energy, they surged with exceedingly pure Starforce, instantly boosting Xiao Yifeng’s strength significantly. Though he had not reached the late stage of the Gang Qi Realm, he was close.
Each time these acupoints absorbed a tremendous amount of energy, Xiao Yifeng’s strength would increase to a certain extent. It was just that the amount of energy needed by these acupoints was too vast; otherwise, Xiao Yifeng would let them continuously absorb energy, and his strength could rise steadily.
Moreover, after absorbing such a vast amount of cold energy this time, the Fifth Major Acupoint, the Earth Sea Acupoint, in Xiao Yifeng’s body had also been opened up significantly.
Once the Earth Sea Acupoint was completely opened, Xiao Yifeng’s strength was bound to rise to an extremely high level.
"Brother Xiao, thank you for saving me!"
Just as Xiao Yifeng stepped out of the room, he saw Liusheng Yiyi.
"No need to thank me; if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be in this situation. On the contrary, I should thank you—if it weren’t for you, I might already be dead," Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.
Soon after, Princess Zi Luo appeared in the villa, her cold eyes sweeping over Xiao Yifeng as she said, "I’ve made the arrangements. Go to Pier 7; there is a cruise ship waiting. You can take that ship to leave Japan directly and return to China. No one will stop you."
"Really, it’s all settled?"
Xiao Yifeng asked again, somewhat uneasy.
Princess Zi Luo let out a cold snort and said, "This is the only chance, it’s up to you to take it or leave it!"
"Thank you, Princess Zi Luo."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Zi Luo and thanked her, then turned his gaze to Liusheng Yiyi, "Yiyi, I’m leaving. Please say goodbye to your brother for me."
Immediately, Xiao Yifeng left the villa and headed to the villa where Song Chenbo and others were staying, preparing to go to Pier 7 with them.
"Little Feeng, can we trust what Princess Zi Luo said?"
Xiao Han looked at Xiao Yifeng with a solemn expression.
"It should be fine. Besides, the people from the Heavenly God Palace are constantly looking for us and the Sharira. If we don’t leave this time, it might be very difficult to get out of Japan," Xiao Yifeng replied gravely.
"I trust Brother Xiao, let’s go," Song Chenbo said directly.
Right away, Xiao Yifeng, along with Song Chenbo and the four others, as well as Xiao Han and Qijie, hurried to Pier 7 in Kyoto. As for An Ying and his group, they had already left Japan according to Xiao Yifeng’s orders and returned to the Mercenary Group’s base.
Pier 7, a medium-sized pier in Kyoto, was where a cruise ship of moderate size was currently docked.
Upon arriving there, Xiao Yifeng and his group saw the cruise ship preparing to board passengers when an elderly man with grizzled hair, wearing a simple robe, appeared before them, his sharp eyes locked on Xiao Yifeng.
"I’ve finally found you!" the elderly man said with a chilling voice, a sharp glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Are you Chinese? Who sent you?" Xiao Han stepped forward, fixing his gaze on the old man.
"Dead men needn’t know so much!" the old man barked coldly, unleashing an invincible air of authority that indicated he had reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Condensing Qi stage.
