Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2280: Feeling Exhausted

"Fang Bai..."

Su Linglong murmured Fang Bai’s name, her smile blossoming on her delicate face, as bright as spring flowers.

She sniffled, wiped away the tears on her face, jumped down from the Demon Crystal Column, lifted her skirt with both hands, and ran towards Fang Bai.

"Fang Bai... Fang Bai... is that you? Is it really you?"

She collided head-on into Fang Bai’s embrace, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist, her cheek pressed firmly against his chest, murmuring as if in a dream.

Fang Bai wrapped one arm around Su Linglong’s waist, gently stroking her smooth and silky hair with the other hand, and softly said, "Yes, it’s me. I’ve come."

"That’s great..."

Su Linglong slowly closed her eyes, her delicate face revealing a deep sense of exhaustion, and sighed gently, "I feel so tired now..."

Previously, to maintain the Immortal Array and resist the Demon Crocodile’s attack, not only had she exhausted all the Immortal Stones she had, but she also overdrew almost all her immortal power. She had been holding on with sheer will and determination. Now, seeing Fang Bai and leaning in his embrace, she finally felt that long-lost sense of security, followed by waves of fatigue.

Seeing her injured and her immortal power depleted, Fang Bai felt distressed at her extreme weakness. He leaned down to kiss her forehead gently and said, "If you’re tired, rest well. Leave the rest to me."

"Mm..."

Su Linglong, like a languid kitten, nestled in Fang Bai’s embrace, entered a state of oblivious deep recuperation.

Qingyun Immortal Venerable and Qingfeng Fairy, naturally, also exchanged warm pleasantries upon meeting each other.

Qingfeng Fairy not only survived a calamity but also met her brother. The joy of this lucky escape made her cry and laugh.

"Thanks to Linglong, if it weren’t for her, we would have perished long ago, possibly without even our bones being found."

After the tears and laughter, Qingfeng Fairy pointed at Su Linglong, who was leaning against Fang Bai, and recounted to Qingyun Immortal Venerable their experience of training within the Demon Flame Crystal Sea.

When mentioning the fallen celestial companions, she couldn’t help but cry again, and the three female immortals beside her also joined in tears.

Qingyun Immortal Venerable comforted his sister a few times and then sighed, "Actually, I almost didn’t make it from the Congtian Domain..."

He recounted how he received help from Fang Bai after his Qi Sea was destroyed, showing gratitude towards Fang Bai by saying, "If it weren’t for Upper Immortal’s assistance, my sister and I probably would never have met again. Upper Immortal granted me a new lease on life and saved you; we must thank him properly."

Upon saying this, he noticed his sister wide-eyed, looking at Fang Bai with a gleam in her eyes, knowing her lively and impetuous nature, fearing she might say or do something disrespectful towards Fang Bai, hurriedly said, "Qingfeng, Upper Immortal and his fairy mate are newly reunited, they surely have much to talk about, let’s not disturb them."

Qingfeng Fairy uttered an "oh," feeling indeed very curious about Linglong’s immortal partner, but she dared not approach at this moment, thinking that was a powerful Upper Immortal, best not to provoke him.

She and the three female immortals beside her had also expended a large amount of immortal power earlier and hadn’t had any leisure to recuperate. Now, with the Demon Crocodiles temporarily in retreat and safety tentatively secured, they sat down cross-legged, swallowed Immortal Pills, and each entered a state of recuperation.

Fang Bai, being powerful, with him guarding Su Linglong, ensured her safety.

So, Qingyun Immortal Venerable stayed by his sister’s side, cautiously observing all movements around, to prevent any demonic beasts from the lake from launching a sudden attack.

After more than two hours, the lake water churned, and dozens of Demon Crocodiles slowly crawled onto Lake Heart Island from the lake, approaching from all directions.

Previously, Fang Bai had slain a Demon Crocodile, scaring away the others. Those crocs, after retreating into the lake, gathered more of their kind for another attack.

"So many Demon Crocodiles!"

Qingyun Immortal Venerable saw those huge, blood-red-eyed Demon Crocodiles, then looked at the celestial women still in recuperation, feeling immense pressure and great tension, instinctively looking towards Fang Bai.

As soon as the Demon Crocodiles landed, Fang Bai gently released Su Linglong from his embrace, creating a Defense Qi Shield around her, cutting off external disturbances to prevent those Demon Crocodiles from interrupting her deep recuperation state.

He then sat outside Su Linglong’s Defense Qi Shield, coldly watching the rapidly approaching Demon Crocodiles.

Those dozens of Demon Crocodiles included several third-tier Demon King Realm Demon Crocodiles that had fled earlier, and the rest were first- and second-tier Demon King Realm, making for a truly formidable force.

Fortuitously, Fang Bai’s Beast Taming Scripture not only controlled Immortal Birds and Beasts but worked equally well on Demon Birds and Beasts; otherwise, such a large-scale Demon Crocodile attack would indeed be worrisome.

In Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s eyes, those dozens of Demon Crocodiles were terrifying entities, but for Fang Bai, they were just dozens of Demon Cores delivered to his doorstep.

When those Demon Crocodiles were still more than a hundred meters away from Fang Bai and the other immortals, a strange howl emitted from Fang Bai’s mouth, transforming into sound waves that surged into the dozens of Demon Crocodiles. Consequently, the leading third-tier Demon King Realm Demon Crocodiles immediately lost self-awareness and began frantically attacking the other Demon Crocodiles.

Thus, a fierce self-slaughter ensued among the dozens of Demon Crocodiles on Lake Heart Island.

Although the several third-tier Demon King Realm Demon Crocodiles were powerful, the other dozens should not be underestimated. After a fierce battle, the island was littered with shredded limbs and blood.

The few remaining Demon Crocodiles attempting to escape into the lake were slain by Fang Bai with a single strike each.

"My heavens!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Watching as dozens of Demon Crocodiles perished like that, Qingfeng Fairy and the four female immortals who had long exited their cultivation state stared dumbfounded, their gazes towards Fang Bai full of awe.

Qingfeng Fairy, having heard her brother call Fang Bai "Upper Immortal," was curious about Fang Bai’s true strength, and now, witnessing Fang Bai effortlessly destroy dozens of Demon King Realm Demon Crocodiles, her admiration knew no bounds, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Go and collect those Demon Cores!"

Fang Bai gestured to Qingyun Immortal Venerable, the Blood Blade in his hand dissipating into air and entering his Sea of Consciousness to hover there before he returned to Su Linglong’s side and sat down cross-legged.

Knowing Fang Bai didn’t care about the Demon Cores, Qingyun Immortal Venerable, upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, happily ran over to collect them one by one, considering that his Immortal Ring had plenty of space, even collecting those third-tier Demon King Realm Demon Crocodile corpses.

Third-tier Demon King Realm Demon Crocodiles could fetch plentiful Cultivation Resources at the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market.

Qingfeng Fairy hadn’t expected Fang Bai to be so generous, simply giving her brother dozens of Demon Cores from Demon King Realm beasts. She glanced at the recuperating Su Linglong, envying her for having such an Immortal Lover.
