Qin Chen stepped forward, first taking a look around the living room. After picking up some items nearby and inspecting them carefully, he approached the old man and directly grabbed his shoulder.
“What are you doing? Who let you in? Get out.”
Seeing Qin Chen's reckless action, Xu Zheng's expression immediately darkened, and he waved his hand, intending to throw Qin Chen out.
Xiao Ya was also stunned and hurriedly said, “Qin Chen, what are you doing!”
Ignoring their shouts, Qin Chen's left hand swiftly grasped the old man's shoulder, while his right hand suddenly raised, blocking in front of him.
“Bang!”
Xu Zheng's palm heavily pushed against Qin Chen's right hand, feeling a tremendous force coming from it. He initially thought he could easily push Qin Chen out, but to his surprise, Qin Chen stood motionless. Instead, it was Xu Zheng who nearly lost his balance under that force, leaving him greatly shocked.
Although Xu Zheng's palm did not use all his strength, it was still enough to push a late-stage Wuzong out. Yet, this young man remained unmoved, how could he not be astonished?
However, after the shock, a hint of anger appeared on Xu Zheng's face.
“You brat, what are you doing? Let go of me.”
Xu Zheng shouted angrily, and this time, his strength intensified. True energy circulated within him, revealing Wuzong-level power, indicating that he was serious.
“I’m treating his injuries. If you don’t want him to die, stop right now.”
Qin Chen coldly glanced at Xu Zheng, his eyes suddenly shooting out a piercing light.
His gaze was sharp, like a blade, carrying a seemingly heart-moving power. Coupled with his deep voice, for some reason, Xu Zheng's heart trembled, and his actions stopped.
“Xiao Ya, who exactly did you bring?”
Xu Zheng turned to Xiao Ya, his entire body still tense, not showing any sign of relaxation, like a cheetah preparing to pounce, ready to strike at any moment.
“I...” At this moment, Xiao Ya was completely stunned. It wasn’t until Xu Zheng spoke coldly that she quickly regained her senses and said, “He is Qin Chen, the genius alchemist from the Five Nations that I recommended to the Master. I don’t know how he ended up like this.”
“Five Nations Alchemist?” Xu Zheng frowned, coldly looking at Qin Chen. Before he could speak, the old man once again spat out a mouthful of black blood and fainted.
“Master.”
Xiao Ya immediately exclaimed.
“Kid, what did you do to my brother?” Xu Zheng's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, regretting that he had stopped earlier. Boom! A terrifying aura spread from him, filled with endless killing intent, as he prepared to strike Qin Chen.
It was clear that Xu Zheng was now completely intent on killing; his aura was terrifyingly more potent than before, and a thick true energy gathered in his hands, evidently intending to strike down Qin Chen with lethal force.
“Don’t be agitated; check on your brother first.”
Qin Chen withdrew his hand and stepped aside, maintaining an expressionless demeanor as he coldly replied.
“Brat, don’t think you can fool me again.” Xu Zheng roared, at this point, he didn’t believe anything Qin Chen said. In anger, he struck down with a palm, and just as his palm was about to land on Qin Chen’s head, he instinctively glanced at the old man.
At a glance, he was taken aback. He saw that the old man's originally dark face had actually gained a hint of color, and although he had fainted, his breath was stronger and longer, his life force more vigorous.
For the past few days, he had been here caring for Xu Bo, knowing how bad Xu Bo's condition was, as it had continuously worsened. But now, it seemed that Xu Bo's condition had clearly improved significantly, almost as if life was returning to him.
Could it be that this kid was really treating his brother’s injuries?
In shock, Xu Zheng’s palm had already reached Qin Chen’s head.
Not good!
Xu Zheng was alarmed, hurriedly wanting to withdraw his hand, but it was already too late.
