In place, Wen Yan looked at the shallow knife wound that ran from his chest to the back of the millennium turtle, revealing a bitter smile on his face.
As he moved, a large amount of fresh blood flowed out from both him and the millennium turtle along the knife wound. Wen Yan hurriedly took out some medicine from his spatial storage to apply on himself and the millennium.
He wasn't sure what kind of medicine it was, but in an instant, the bleeding stopped.
Wen Yan knew that Ye Zhongming had also been injured, and quite heavily, but certainly not as severely as he was. He had lost and lost thoroughly.
The injuries of this boss from the Pavilion of Quality were definitely not as simple as they seemed from the outside. His internal organs had suffered significant trauma. Even now, there was a chaotic swirl of various elements and extremely negative energy inside him. It would take a long time to completely eliminate that.
At least for the next two months, he would be unable to fight.
Besides Wen Yan himself, his battle pet, the millennium turtle, had also sustained serious injuries, even more severe than his. When Ye Zhongming's attack broke through the raging tide, it was the millennium turtle that had activated its skills to block most of the attack, allowing Wen Yan to survive.
In the water, the millennium turtle's abilities were fully showcased. However, on land, this lifeform, known for its defense, could only exhibit half of its power, which was still adequate for protection. However, Ye Zhongming's final attack was simply too powerful, resulting in both Wen Yan and the millennium turtle being severely wounded.
"Mr. Wen, are you alright?"
The Grand President appeared in front of Wen Yan, smiling at him, while the millennium turtle raised its head, glaring at the fat man.
Battle beasts are extremely sensitive to killing intent and personal feelings. The moment the Grand President appeared, it sensed the malice emanating from him.
"I'm fine," Wen Yan said calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Wen Yan knew that it was precisely because the Grand President had arrived that Ye Zhongming did not come over to deliver the killing blow. However, he felt no gratitude towards this fat man, because in that fleeting moment, he clearly saw the murderous intent in the Grand President's eyes during the grand battle.
Regardless of the reason, the president of the Zero Commerce Association had indeed contemplated killing Wen Yan just moments ago.
"That's good to hear. It seems that Ye Zhongming is indeed difficult to deal with," the Grand President continued to smile amiably, glancing at the millennium turtle before saying, "No need to worry, leave the rest to us. Mr. Wen, you focus on healing."
With that, he chased after the direction where Ye Zhongming had disappeared.
Wen Yan looked at the Grand President's retreating figure, his expression complex.
………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming had burrowed into a patch of woods.
He didn't leave quickly but instead sat cross-legged under a tree, swallowing quite a few potions and pills.
In his battle with Wen Yan, he had won and could have killed that cunning Mr. Wen, but he sensed that other powerful individuals were approaching.
Given his current condition, he didn't have absolute confidence in defeating opponents on the same level as Wen Yan again, so leaving was the best choice.
The Raging Tide was powerful, and while Ye Zhongming had managed to cut through that skill, the remaining force had still dealt him a heavy blow. His entire body felt numb, and other than being able to control his movements, he didn't feel any pain.
That was not a good sign.
After using the healing medicine, his body began to recover, and almost instantly, the pain returned, the intensity causing him to grunt as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Afterward, he felt a wave of relief.
Under the Clear Body and Beautiful Celestial Body effects, Ye Zhongming could feel his body rapidly recovering.
But at a certain moment, he suddenly stood up and leaped to the side. The next instant, the spot where he had been sitting was struck by a massive wolf fang club, creating a large pit.
