All the young men present were injured. After the reinforcement troops snapped out of their daze, they immediately started to treat the injured young men.
As heard from Qin Muyao, the young men could finally rest their hearts after knowing that the demon clan had finally retreated.
The fatigued young men fell asleep from their exhaustion and pain. Everything that had happened that day had drained them of their energy and mind completely. The only reason that they could hold on until now was because of their resolute.
As there were too many casualties and most of them were severe injuries, the troops could not transport them out of the capital inst.i.tute and could only provide treatment on the spot.
As they watched the exhausted faces in their sleep, even the soldiers with rich battle experiences could not help but feel miserable for them.
The ancient dragon returned after sending Liu Kai and the rest. When its huge body landed outside of the martial arts arena, the reinforcement troops then noticed this huge ancient dragon. Almost instantly, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the domineering and majestic-looking ancient dragon outside the door.
Even though the ancient dragon was already badly injured, and looked slightly pathetic, it still could not conceal the domineering air that it was born with.
Many people looked at the ancient dragon’s st.u.r.dy body in disbelief. They could not believe that they had actually seen the legendary creature.
“Dragon… ancient dragon? Am I seeing things?” one soldier rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“It is really an ancient dragon? I thought I was seeing things.”
Previously, when they had joined in the battle, they had already seen the ancient dragon that was carrying many young men. However, as the situation was urgent and they were busy saving people from the battlefield, moreover the ancient dragon’s speed was too fast, they had only taken a glance at it.
Now that they stared more closely…
They were frightened.
The ancient dragon looked at the bunch of big and tall men looking at itself with adoring eyes. It lifted its head arrogantly and grunted indifferently.
These foolish humans—they should just tremble under its claws!
But the ancient dragon’s eyes did not relax as it glanced across the crowd to look for Ji Fengyan.
By this time, Ji Fengyan was already pressed into the chair by Xing Lou. She was now watching awkwardly at Xing Lou, who was lowering his head and helping her clean her wounds.
Xing Lou remained focused on cleaning Ji Fengyan’s wounds. The multiple battles previously had caused Ji Fengyan to be quite injured. Other than the injuries on her wrist and fingertips that were caused by herself, the other bites and scratches over her body were because she had not worn her world-termination-armour. Even though Ji Fengyan did not have any deep wounds, the small injuries had almost covered her body, causing her clothes to have countless red patches.
Those patches of red were like daggers stabbing Xing Lou’s heart when he saw them. He rejected the dark guard’s request to clean Ji Fengyan’s wounds and held onto a wet handkerchief as he carefully cleaned Ji Fengyan’s blood stains.
Every time he did so, Xing Lou’s brows furrowed even deeper.
One of the young men who had slowly woken up watched as the n.o.ble Xing Lou personally cleaned Ji Fengyan’s wounds and he felt warm. He felt that the almighty Grand Tutor was actually a gentle and kind person who had not only brought reinforcement troops but also personally cleaned the casualty’s wounds.
It was just that…
“Master Grand Tutor, Ji Fengyan… how is she?” one young man carefully walked to Xing Lou’s side and asked.
