Chapter 743: Chapter 743

"Mmm, okay!" Tangtang said in a grown-up manner, contemplating for a moment before speaking.

"Tangtang, don’t move, big brother is about to take off the gauze from your face," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Mmm." Tangtang nodded firmly.

Zhang Xiaohao extended his right hand, with the majestic Shennong True Qi circulating in his palm, he placed it on Tangtang’s forehead.

Under Zhang Xiaohao’s control, the Shennong True Qi flowed continuously into Tangtang’s body, especially towards the area of her head.

"Mmm, that feels so good!" Tangtang moaned comfortably.

Zhang Xiaohao smiled but did not stop his hand movements. Instead, he continued to channel the True Qi into Tangtang’s body.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his right hand, large beads of sweat rolling down from his forehead.

The spiritual and True Qi exhaustion from the previous great battle hadn’t yet recovered, and now, expending such an amount of Shennong True Qi to channel into Tangtang’s body for cleansing her marrow was still a bit too much for him to handle.

He carefully removed the white gauze from Tangtang’s eyes and casually placed it aside.

"Hmm? Something’s not right! The dryness at the corner of the eyes, the blocked meridians, these don’t appear to be the eyes she just had replaced; clearly, they are Tangtang’s own!" thought Zhang Xiaohao with a chill in his heart.

"Tangtang, big brother wants to ask you, when you had the surgery in M country, did they confirm they had replaced your eyes with a new pair?" Zhang Xiaohao asked. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

"Yes." Tangtang nodded decisively.

"These White Dogs! They deserve to die for not even sparing a child! Just wait for me to settle the current affairs, and I’m definitely going to make you pay back tenfold a hundredfold for what you’ve done!" Zhang Xiaohao thought, seething with killing intent.

He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and looked seriously at the corners of Tangtang’s eyes.

In her eyes, there were two noticeably dead fish-white marks, completely blocking all her circulation of blood and Qi.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Suddenly, Li Jingru walked in from outside.

In her hands, she carried a tray with two elegantly prepared home-cooked dishes; one was braised beef and the other was scrambled eggs with tomato, along with two steaming hot cakes.

"Little Aunt, don’t worry, big brother is treating Tangtang!" Tangtang said sweetly.

"Don’t make a sound! Trust me," Zhang Xiaohao gave her a reassuring look.

"Mmm." Li Jingru nodded vigorously.

She placed the food on a table nearby and just stood quietly behind Zhang Xiaohao, watching them.

Turning his gaze away, Zhang Xiaohao continued to look intently into Tangtang’s eyes.

Zhang Xiaohao bit his index finger, squeezed out two drops of blood, flicked his finger, and the blood entered Tangtang’s eyes.

"Ah!" Seeing this, Li Jingru exclaimed in shock.

"Don’t talk! Don’t disturb me," Zhang Xiaohao ordered.

"Mmm." Li Jingru nodded again.

Zhang Xiaohao squeezed out another drop of blood, formed seals with both hands, and cast the Three Pure Daoist Skill with rapid movements of hand seals.

The speed was so fast it dazzled the onlookers.

"Heavenly Eye open!" Zhang Xiaohao bellowed.

With a lightning-fast swipe over the eyes, a flash of golden light, and the Heavenly Eye was open.

Looking again into Tangtang’s eyes under the illumination of the Heavenly Eye, Zhang Xiaohao could see the meridians and blood pathways inside her eyes as if he had activated a divine perspective, crystal clear without any obstruction.

"So that’s how it is!" A few minutes later, Zhang Xiaohao nodded and said.

"Brother Hao, what’s wrong with Tangtang?" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao withdrawing his gaze, Li Jingru urgently asked.

"Don’t worry! The car accident five years ago only blocked the blood vessels in Tangtang’s eyes, which is what caused her blindness! Moreover, because her eyes have lacked vitality for a long time, they’ve come to resemble dead fish whites," Zhang Xiaohao explained softly.

"Ah! Brother Hao, can that be cured?" Li Jingru asked excitedly, grasping Zhang Xiaohao’s hands.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaohao nodded decisively.

"Brother Hao, I’m begging you, please cure Tangtang’s eyes at all costs! As long as you can cure her eyes, I’ll agree to anything you ask!" Li Jingru pleaded urgently.

"Fool! A healer has a parent’s heart. Tangtang is so adorable, how could I be indifferent and ignore her?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He patted her hand, signaling her to let go.

He placed Tangtang on the bed and had her lie down flat.

"Tangtang, Big Brother is going to start now! It might hurt a little later, but you must hang in there!" Zhang Xiaohao comforted her.

"Don’t worry, Big Brother, Tangtang isn’t afraid," Tangtang said resolutely.

"Mm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded in response.

He reached into his pocket and took out the set of silver needles he had meticulously crafted.

He laid the silver needles out on the bed.

Then, he took out two green elixirs from his pocket, swallowed one himself, and placed the other in Tangtang’s mouth.

Everything was ready.

With two fingers, he picked up a silver needle.

A glint flashed in Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes as he unleashed the Heaven-defying Twelve Needles, a golden Shennong True Qi swirling around the needle, and aimed it directly at the Lingdong acupoint near Tangtang’s left eye before piercing down.

As the silver needle entered her body, the fearsome Shennong True Qi flowed along the needle into Tangtang, charging towards the congested acupuncture paths around her eyes.

Zhang Xiaohao grabbed another silver needle with one hand and executed the Heavenly Reversal Second Needle, stabbing it into a major acupoint above Tangtang’s right eye.

With a flourish of his palm, within moments, Zhang Xiaohao had consecutively performed the Heaven-defying Four Needles.

Sweat droplets as large as beans once again fell from his forehead.

Looking at Zhang Xiaohao’s complexion, it was deathly pale, and his body swayed before stumbling backwards.

"Brother Hao, what’s wrong with you?" Li Jingru asked anxiously.

She rushed forward to support Zhang Xiaohao.

"I’m fine, don’t worry," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Brother Hao, if you can’t continue, please don’t force yourself," Li Jingru said with concern.

"Don’t you know whether I can do this or not?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a meaningful expression.

"Brother Hao!" Li Jingru said shyly, showing a demure feminine side.

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

He took a deep breath, walked back to the bedside, and felt a bitter smile within as he assessed the state of his body.

If he were in his prime, with his current level of cultivation, he could definitely use the first four needles of the Heaven-defying series with ease.

Even the fifth needle could be executed without much effort.

But now, Zhang Xiaohao shook his head and didn’t think further.

He held a silver needle between his fingers and mobilized the True Qi within his body, channeling it toward the needle, and then with lightning speed, executed the Heaven-defying Fifth Needle, piercing into the nerve acupoint between Tangtang’s eyes.

As the Heaven-defying Fifth Needle was executed, Zhang Xiaohao’s body softened and he collapsed to the floor.

"Ah! Brother Hao, are you okay?" Li Jingru exclaimed anxiously.

She rushed over and helped Zhang Xiaohao up.

"I’m fine! Help me up, there’s just one last step to go," Zhang Xiaohao said gravely.

"Brother Hao, really, if you can’t, let’s just forget it! I don’t want to see you get hurt," Li Jingru implored.

"Fool! How could I get hurt, help me over there," Zhang Xiaohao said.
