The scalpel's blade had already reached the skin on Zhou Wen's head and was about to slice through it. However, at that instant, Yan Zhen's pupils constricted.
The scalpel's edge shimmered, but it couldn't move an inch forward. It was as though it was being held by an invisible force. No matter how hard Yan Zhen tried, he couldn't move an inch.
"You really have a secret!" Instead of being alarmed, Yan Zhen was delighted. The fervor in his eyes intensified as terrifying power erupted from his body. It transformed into wisps of light that gathered on the scalpel, making the light on it even more terrifying. It was as resplendent as the sun.
The Life Soul behind Zhou Wen, Dr. Soul, also released terrifying power. He also held a scalpel condensed from spiritual light and slashed at the back of Zhou Wen's head.
Zhou Wen's body didn't move, but Yan Zhen and Dr. Soul seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. Suddenly, their bodies lost their balance as they floated in front of Zhou Wen.
Yan Zhen's face was filled with horror as he struggled with all his might. The sanguine light in Dr. Soul's eyes kept flickering, but it was completely useless.
It was as though they were being controlled by an invisible hand, unable to move or make a sound. As the hand tightened, their bodies were squeezed more and more.
Their flesh and blood deformed, their bones bent, and their eyeballs protruded out.
No … Impossible … How can a Legendary student … possess such powerful strength … Yan Zhen was horrified. He used all his strength, but it was difficult for him to resist the terrifying force.
Bam!
With a violent sound, Yan Zhen and Dr. Soul were crushed by the invisible force, dying a violent death.
Zhou Wen watched helplessly as Yan Zhen was crushed, but he didn't feel good either.
The power of the Sigh of the King Life Providence had awakened, and the power was unimaginably immense. After Zhou Wen's body was awakened by the power, all his bones creaked as though they would snap at any moment. His flesh and organs were also under immense pressure.
All the blood vessels in his body protruded, and many of the weaker capillaries had ruptured. His organs felt like they had been crushed, and the pain was unbearable.
Not only was Yan Zhen unable to move, but even Zhou Wen himself was immobilized by the terrifying force. It was as though he was carrying a mountain on his back.
Unlike Yan Zhen, Zhou Wen could see a shadow appear on his body. It was the shadow's hand that had crushed Yan Zhen and Dr. Soul.
Bang!
Unable to withstand the terrifying force, Zhou Wen knelt on one knee and spat out blood. The force that descended on him became more and more terrifying, exceeding the limits of what his body could withstand. His organs felt like they were about to rupture.
Just as Zhou Wen imagined that he would become the first person in history to be crushed by his own Life Providence, the force receded like a receding tide, shrinking back into his body.
Zhou Wen's body suddenly relaxed as the pressure vanished. His mind relaxed as he felt his vision turn black. He collapsed to the ground and fainted.
When Zhou Wen woke up, he realized that he was lying in Wang Mingyuan's laboratory. He was sleeping on the only bed in the laboratory. It was originally where Wang Mingyuan rested. His students usually slept on the floor.
He didn't see Wang Mingyuan, Hui Haifeng, or Zhong Ziya. Only Jiang Yan was sitting in front of an oil lamp, reading quietly.
"Why am I here?" Zhou Wen moved and felt his entire body ache. He didn't have any strength, and his body was as limp as a newborn baby.
"It's best you don't move around. Many of your bones are fractured and your organs are damaged. Although Counselor has already used his Life Soul to heal your body, you still need to rest for a period of time. Otherwise, those injuries will relapse," Jiang Yan said casually.
"Why am I here?" Zhou Wen asked again in puzzlement.
Logically speaking, Yan Zhen had died on the spot, and he was unconscious. Even if the police didn't believe that Yan Zhen was really killed by him, they should have brought him back for investigation. He should be in the police station's hospital now.
"When Hui Haifeng went out to buy things, he heard someone screaming. He went over to take a look and found you unconscious on the ground. You were seriously injured, so he immediately asked the teacher to treat your injuries and bring you back." Jiang Yan put down the book in his hand and asked Zhou Wen, "You suffered such serious injuries in Dragon Gate Grotto? Who injured you? "
"I don't know who injured me either. Was there anyone else nearby?" Zhou Wen was filled with puzzlement.
It was one thing for Dr. Soul to explode. After all, it was an energy body, so it wouldn't leave any traces. Yan Zhen was a living person. Zhou Wen had seen him explode and his blood splattered all over the ground. It was impossible for him not to have seen it.
However, from what Jiang Yan said, it didn't seem like he had seen Yan Zhen's corpse.
"There were many people, but they were all passers-by. I didn't find anyone who injured you," Jiang Yan answered with certainty.
With that said, Jiang Yan got up and walked to the side. He picked up a bowl and walked in front of Zhou Wen. "This is the medicine that Counselor brewed before he left. He instructed me to feed you when you woke up. Not a single drop is to be left. This is one of my missions today."
With that said, Jiang Yan picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of medicine to Zhou Wen's mouth.
"I'll do it myself …" Zhou Wen struggled to sit up, but his body was extremely sore. It was limp as though he had no strength.
"Didn't I already tell you that Counselor has just treated your injuries? Your body still needs to recover. Don't move around and don't hinder me from completing my mission," Jiang Yan said as he brought the spoon to Zhou Wen's mouth.
Zhou Wen knew that his body couldn't take it, so he had no choice but to open his mouth and drink the spoonful of medicine. He found it extremely bitter, but he didn't know what it tasted like.
"What medicine is this?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown.
"It's self-made medicine from Counselor. It should be of some use," Jiang Yan said indifferently.
Jiang Yan fed Zhou Wen spoonful by spoonful. After about ten minutes, he finished feeding him the huge bowl of medicine. The medicine was just too bitter, making Zhou Wen feel bitter from his mouth to his intestines. He couldn't taste anything else.
"Rest. Don't move around. Counselor said that you can only get out of bed in two days. If you don't want to be treated again, lie down obediently," Jiang Yan said.
Although Zhou Wen was weak, he could still move his limbs, but he didn't have much strength.
He pulled open the blanket and realized that he was only wearing his underwear. He was immediately alarmed. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Yan if he had seen his phone, he turned his head and saw his clothes neatly stacked by the bed. Two phones and some miscellaneous items were placed on them. The bracelet was also there.
Zhou Wen immediately heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to take the mysterious phone.
There was no problem switching it on. Zhou Wen opened the phone's interface and was slightly taken aback. The other programs on the phone's desktop were normal, but there was an additional number 1 beside the Dead Man Tree icon.
