To treat someone in the Innate Realm, one did not need to be as cautious as when treating Xiao Jie or the unconscious girl on the mountain. Besides, he wanted to resolve the issue with Duan Chongfeng's True Qi. Therefore, Xu Ke had to channel True Qi into the needles to help his patient's own True Qi surge and return to its peak state.
"Okay." Duan Chongfeng nodded.
As his True Qi stirred, it immediately formed a simple protective barrier around his heart meridian. He appeared rather indifferent. It wasn't that he looked down on Xu Ke for having killed Ouyang Shuang.
But what harm could a Houtian Middle Stage practitioner possibly do to an Innate Realm expert like me, even if I lie here completely defenseless? No mental preparation is necessary. A simple barrier will suffice!
Seeing this, Xu Ke said nothing more.
"The atrium, too," Xu Ke added.
Duan Chongfeng complied.
"Please remove your Inner Armor," Xu Ke requested.
