"Be careful!" The young woman yelled out to warn Zhu Dingxiang as she could feel the horrifying aura emanating from the Berserk Demonic Bear.
While the bear is flung into the air, Zhu Dingxiang quickly makes his move. He crouched down before raising his right hand and pressed his palm swiftly to the ground.
"[Fourth spirit ability: Plant manipulation]"
Looking at the Berserk Demonic Bear's deadly paw about to strike his head, Zhu Dingxiang stay still and motionless.
"BOOM!" The Berserker Demonic Bear strike as its sharp claw pierced through Zhu Dingxiang's body. The young woman and some of the guards witnessed this scene and lost hope.
However, what transpired next left them in shock and speechless. Zhu Dingxiang, who got penetrated in his chest starting to fade away and become particles of green light.
The ground beneath the Berserk Demonic Bear started to vibrate before two wooden pythons appeared and coiling around its giant body.
"Grrr…Grrr!…ROOAAARRRR!" The Berserk Demonic Bear roared crazily, attempting to tear off the wooden pythons from its body.
"It's a useless struggle." Zhu Dingxiang stated as he appears in front of the bear with some distance between them. He has created a clone to substitute himself after creating these 2 wooden pythons as a trap.
Even though the wooden python is tough and powerful, its speed is quite slow. The two wooden pythons keep strangling the bear tightly as sharp thorns intruding into its body and absorbing its energy. When they have absorbed enough energy from the Berserk Demonic Bear, those tiny thorns immediately transform into many large spikes and ending its life.
After the Berserk Demonic Bear is killed, all of the spiritual beast attacking the guards coming back to their senses before fleeting away.
Watching their receding figures, all the guards were overwhelmed with emotions. They were prepared to die today, but who would have thought…
"It's over!"
"We lived. We survived!"
"Hurry! There are many wounded!" Seeing that they are safe, the young woman shouted out to the guards and gave them instructions. After telling them to tend for the injured, she hurriedly rushes over to one of the broken wagons.
"Grandpa Feng!" She bellowed in sadness after seeing the states of the older man who was smacked by the bear previously. The Berserk Demonic Bear has twisted the older man's left arm beyond recognition. His body is covered in many open wounds that are bleeding profusely.
"Granpa Feng, please hang on!" The young woman is grieving next to the older man as there is nothing she can do. She wanted to hold him in his last breath, but she was afraid that it would worsen his conditions.
"Let me take a look."
"Eh?" Hearing the voice behind her, she turned around.
'It's him!'
Walking over, Zhu Dingxiang takes a looks at the conditions of the dying elder. With his spirit eyes activated, he scrutinized the older man's body.
'It's way worst than I thought.' Zhu Dingxiang's face darkened as he sees the broken rib bones and ruptured internal organs.
'Damn it! I don't think I can save him now.'
"This broken piece of wood from the caravan pierced through his chest and damaged a large part of his lung…" Zhu Dingxiang said as he thought quickly and struggling inside whether to pull it out or not. Even though his first spirit ability can heal wounds, the wounds of this elder are too serious.
'Only if I have some actual medical knowledge combining with my spirit ability, perhaps I could heal him then.'
"C…can you treat him?" The young woman asked in a hopeful tone.
"…"
"I will do what I can…" Looking at her expression, Zhu Dingxiang answered with uncertainty. He summoned his martial spirit as the "Divine Spiritual Tree" emerged and levitating behind him. He has already hidden its Dao rhyme away and only releasing the aura of an Earth-rank martial spirit.
[First spirit ability: Heal]
Vigorous healing vines started to grown and gently wrapping the dying elder's body. Zhu Dingxiang was currently trying to pull out the wood piece as it prevents the wounds from healing.
After Zhu Dingxiang removed the wood piece, the large open wounds on the dying elder's body started to heal and closed themselves. However, even though the fleshy injuries already healed. His internal organs' damages are too severe to make it.
"Sorry… His internal injuries are too severe. I can't save him with my limited ability."
"D-do you want to have some last word with this elder?" Zhu Dingxiang asked the young woman after some hesitation because he could see the deep sorrow in her eyes.
"Uhm." Hearing his question, she loses hope.
"Is there really no other way?"
"..." Her tears thickened and then nodding.
After getting her approval, Zhu Dingxiang put more natural Qi into the healing vines. The rich life-force allowed the elder to wake up temporarily; he then walked away and gave them some space.
"THERE'S A SURVIVOR HERE!"
"QUICK GET THE MEDICINE POWER!"
"QUICKLY THIS WAY!"
"TEND THE MORE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED FIRST!"
"ARGH! My arm! I…I can't feel my arm!"
"Hurry! Slowly move him!"
"Hold it for me!"
The remnants of the previous battle are chaotic. The scent of heavy blood and smoke is still thick in the air. The survivors were running all over the place as there are many injured people.
"Divine Tree's Blessing!" Walking over promptly, Zhu Dingxiang cast the Divine Tree's Blessing to calm the survivors down and heals the heavily injured first.
"W-what amazing spirit ability!"
Many of the survivors were astounded to see the healing capabilities displayed by Zhu Dingxiang. Whenever the healing vines releasing their healing lights, their bleeding wounds would stop and closed up.
"Stop standing there idly and go attend the other!" Zhu Dingxiang shouted to the amazed guards.
'Alright! This wound is still healable.' Zhu Dingxiang thought as he is attaching a severed arm back to a young guard. The healing vines then gently wrapping around it, releasing its healing ability. The muscle tissues and bones grew out and reconnecting back to the young guard's body.
'There should be no infection as I already purified the wounds.'
Heavy sweats trickling down from Zhu Dingxiang's face, and looking tired. After all, the nature-Qi requires to heals heavy wounds like these is way more than what he uses fighting the Berserk Demonic Bear.
