31: No, can they be brought back to life if they're already dead?

"Sigh, Old Sun's daughter has truly lost her mind."

"It's understandable. After all, Old Sun only ended up like this to protect her. But for her to actually beg the Little Skeleton for help!"

"The Little Skeleton's strength is indeed heavenly; it can even slaughter You Beasts at will. In terms of combat power, I can only give it a thumbs up."

Someone raised both thumbs.

"However, every living being has their own specialties. Just like the Little Skeleton, its specialty is fighting."

Indeed, everyone agreed on one point.

Those skilled at killing are not skilled at saving people.

Those skilled at saving people are not skilled at killing.

And the Little Skeleton was clearly an outstanding expert in the field of killing.

Begging the Little Skeleton to save someone—wasn't that obviously making things difficult for it?

"Little Skeleton, I beg of you, please save my father! Save my father!"

Sun Feifei knelt and clung to Lu Chen's leg bone, crying out in grief.

Ning Xiwei crouched down and gently embraced her.

Seeing her Best Friend crying so heartbrokenly, Ning Xiwei also felt extremely distressed.

She also believed that while the Little Skeleton had peerless combat power, saving people was definitely its shortcoming.

But...

The Little Skeleton was clearly Sun Feifei's last hope.

She didn't want to expose the truth, so she just gently patted Sun Feifei's back to make her feel a little better.

Chen Shouyi shook his head as he watched.

She truly was a pitiable person.

"Sigh~"

He sighed, walked over to Sun Feifei, and said in a low voice,

"Spend some more time with your father."

"Although I don't want to say it, there really aren't any skeleton types that know healing magic."

Undead races do have healing-type mages, but those are mage classes. The Little Skeleton is clearly a warrior class.

Don't make things hard for the Little Skeleton. Just spend these last moments properly with your father."

Chen Shouyi hoped Sun Feifei could regain some rationality at the end.

After all,

Sun Qihai only had one last breath left.

Surely, in his final moments, he would want his daughter by his side.

Turning around,

Chen Shouyi looked at Sun Qihai, who was like a pile of limp mud.

These injuries were too severe.

It was beyond help!

No, it could no longer be called an injury.

He was only one breath away from death.

Once that breath dropped,

He would certainly die!

Most of his internal organs had been shattered instantly when The Youngest Son of the Imperial Minister slashed him.

The remaining organs had also lost all function during these brief moments of lingering on the edge of death.

His blood had almost coagulated.

His heart... his heart was long gone.

If Sun Qihai hadn't possessed the strength of the Third-Tier Eighth Stage, he would have died the moment his entire chest cavity was sliced open.

"Old Sun's injuries are beyond even the gods' help!"

"Even an ultra-rare Holy Healer Professional would be helpless upon seeing Old Sun."

"What a pity, what a pity."

"His daughter just got connected with the Little Skeleton, and Old Sun is about to pass away before he could even enjoy the benefits."

Listening to the discussions of the people around him,

Chen Shouyi nodded slightly.

Yes.

Even if a Holy Healer were present, they would be helpless.

Treating Sun Qihai wasn't healing an injury at all; it was snatching someone from the hands of the Grim Reaper!

A priest Professional among the high-ranking officials had seen Sun Qihai's injuries and immediately gave up on treatment.

According to that priest, it wasn't that he wouldn't save him, but Sun Qihai was currently hanging on by a single breath.

If he intervened with treatment, it would likely break Sun Qihai's inner spirit, causing him to die on the spot.

At this moment,

Sun Feifei let go of Lu Chen's leg bone and sobbed twice.

She said to Lu Chen,

"I'm sorry, I just had no other way."

You are clearly only good at fighting, yet I actually pressured you to save someone."

Sun Feifei had also come to terms with it and prepared to see her father one last time.

"..."

Lu Chen felt as if several black lines had appeared on his smooth skull.

Did I say I wouldn't save him?

It was just that with you death-gripping my leg bone, how was he supposed to move?

Although...

That old fellow, your dad, wanted to cut ties with me right at the start.

But!

For the sake of being the Little Girl's only Best Friend, I won't hold a grudge.

Saving your dad's life...

Is simple enough.

Never mind that your dad isn't dead yet.

Even if he were dead, I'd drag him back for you!

Lu Chen took a few steps to Sun Qihai's side and stood to the left of Sun Feifei.

Ning Xiwei followed.

Watching the Little Skeleton's serious, observing manner,

What does he want to do?

Could it be that he thinks Feifei is too sad and is standing by her side to offer silent comfort?

What a considerate Little Skeleton.

And so,

Ning Xiwei stood to the right of Sun Feifei, imitating the Little Skeleton's manner to offer silent comfort.

Lu Chen glanced at Sun Qihai.

Blood coagulated, eyes lifeless, only a torso left, occasionally twitching slightly.

This old guy's Soul is already halfway out of his body.

Immediately,

He raised his index finger bone and pointed it at Sun Qihai's shattered heart.

What does this mean?

The Chiyang High-ranking Officials were attracted by Lu Chen's sudden, inexplicable movement and all looked over in confusion.

They all carefully analyzed Lu Chen's behavior.

The next moment,

They saw a pale green light bloom from the tip of Lu Chen's finger bone.

Instantly,

A life Aura so dense it reached the extreme permeated the entire field!

"My god, what is this!"

"Every inch of my flesh and blood is craving it. What on earth is this energy!"

"My old injuries are recovering!"

"Such pure life force! I have the illusion that just one sniff could make me live to a hundred!"

They breathed greedily, wanting to suck that burst of life Aura into their bodies!

Moreover,

As soon as this burst of pure life energy appeared, the cells throughout their bodies felt as if they had been starving for ten days!

If not for their fear of Lu Chen's terrifying power that could insta-kill a Third-Tier Phantom Beast, they might not have been able to restrain themselves from trying to snatch it!

Chen Shouyi immediately suppressed the greed that had just surfaced.

What pure life energy!

Looking at Lu Chen,

He couldn't help but marvel: Just what kind of sacred being is he?

Lu Chen waved his hand.

He threw 30 points of vitality into Sun Qihai's body.

Actually,

The moment the vitality condensed, Lu Chen had a flash of realization.

Sun Qihai's total vitality was about 300 points.

That was the total value of both his body and Soul.

Now,

Although he was near death,

His complete Soul had not left his body, and his body was still there; it was just that his internal organs were destroyed and his flesh and bones were damaged.

It wasn't like replenishing everything from zero.

After a bit of calculation,

Lu Chen found that 30 points of vitality were enough to restore Sun Qihai to his Peak.

When this pure energy worth 30 points of vitality drilled into Sun Qihai's body,

Everyone saw...

The shattered internal organs inside him rapidly fused together, restoring to wholeness at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood that had flowed all over the ground began to flow back.

Bones returned to their places, and flesh merged back together.

In the blink of an eye!

Sun Qihai's entire body was restored!

Even the old injuries on his body and past scars all vanished without a trace.

The crowd watched clearly with eyes wide open.

But that wasn't all!

Sun Qihai opened his eyes and sat up cross-legged.

An Aura soared into the sky!

Boom!

Sun Qihai's Realm had a Breakthrough!

Third-Tier Ninth Stage Peak!

"Hahaha!"

"The hidden injuries left from back then were indeed the culprits blocking my cultivation level!"

One second ago, he was heavily injured and dying, with only one breath left.

The next second, he was completely recovered and had even broken through his Realm!

Did it have to be this terrifying!

Gulp~

The crowd swallowed their dry saliva, almost choking to death!

They stared blankly at Lu Chen.

Wait,

Even if someone is dead, you can save them?

It was as if someone had already entered the Gates of Hell!

Yet they were actually dragged back alive by the Little Skeleton!

They no longer knew how to describe Lu Chen's miraculous methods!
