Rajan just stood there stunned as he looked at Aruna who is taking Ramya away. He really wanted to stop her, but he couldn"t bring himself to. There is an enormous amount of guilt eating his heart away.
He couldn"t even speak out a few words.
As he watched Aruna leave, his attention was diverted towards the two elders, the guards and finally Ramana.
All of them didn"t even dare to move. Ramana who was clouded by anger and greed finally cleared his head and understood how dire the situation is for him.
He just bowed his head down and stood there.
Rajan walked to the two elders first and before they could speak, he slammed his two fists into their bodies and held them like that as the spiritual energy around them started riling up. The two elders looked at Rajan in disbelief, pain, and despair.
Soon some leaves started sprouting from various parts of their bodies and slowly their flesh and blood were being absorbed by those leaves which turned into small plants and finally some shrubs.
The corpses fell and the plants nested themselves into the ground and one couldn"t even see the skeletons that are in midst of them.
Rajan then turned towards the guards and their fates are also the same. Particularly, when they looked at how emotionless Rajan"s face is, they almost peed their pants. Soon, the only ones left standing there are Rajan, Ramana, and some guards who came after the cries of despair and some elders that learned of this through the guards.
Ramana was also nervous. He knew that he f.u.c.ked up big time. But at this moment an elder came and stopped Rajan"s hand before saying.
"I can understand your pain. But you shouldn"t kill him. He is the only one left from your family line as your heir. You are reaching a certain age where you will be deployed to the higher realm sooner or later. Someone must take the spot to increase your lineage. Your daughter is also gone. He is the only heir. You have to bear with it."
As soon as those words were spoken, Ramana suddenly felt like he grabbed a life-saving straw and was pulled back from despair. Rajan also looked at him with a bit of hesitation, but that hesitation only lasted for a second. As soon as he saw the relieved expression on Ramana, he didn"t want to leave him alone.
"If my family has to propagate from the likes of him, it is better dead. Who knows if he would sell his daughter to some other guys for a promotion? I will take this chance to get rid of this tumor. I should have done this a long time ago."
With that, he threw a punch and this time it didn"t take long. Ramana is after all a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator. His body turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y meat past with that single punch, not even his skeleton remained in the place.
After finishing the deed, Rajan felt a bit empty and fell to his knees.
Meanwhile.
At Sam"s residence.
Currently, the trio and Sam are feeling a bit lost as they looked at Raunak who is weeping like a baby as he held Ramya in his hands.
Sam looked at Ramya and noticed that she is still alive. He couldn"t help but frown and walk towards Aruna before asking.
"She is still alive, right? Is there no antidote for this poison?"
Aruna looked at him for a second and answered with a sigh.
"It"s Midday Green. The lethality of this poison is not its potency, it is a completely different poison. After taking it in, if one couldn"t take the antidote within two minutes, it would be too late.
The poison mixes with bloodstream and it makes the meridians so dull that it would be impossible for spiritual energy to be absorbed. Nothing that entered the stomach wouldn"t be digested and nothing that was injected into the body, even spiritual energy wouldn"t be absorbed. She would be alive for another two hours and she would be able to hear what we are saying, but she just couldn"t respond."
Sam was stunned. He didn"t expect that there would be a poison like this in the world. This is completely new to him. And with those conditions, even the heavenly wine would have some problems.
But when he looked at Raunak"s face, he took a deep breath and decided to try.
He walked towards him and patted on his shoulder before saying.
"What are you crying for? She is still alive. Bring her in."
Raunak looked at Sam with surprise.
"Do… Do you have a way to save her?" Suddenly Raunak saw a bit of hope, he remembered all the things that Sam pulled off and felt like if it was him then there might be a chance.
"I don"t know yet, let"s see."
With that, he walked in. Raunak and Aruna exchanged eye contact before walking inside. The trio also followed.
Raunak laid her on the bed. Sam placed his fingers on her forehead and started using his observation ability.
He started observing the flesh, blood, and the poison that is moving within that blood. He can see the meridians that are slowly closing down and clearly affected by the poison.
With a deep sigh, he took some heavenly wine and poured it in her mouth before slowly guiding it into her stomach.
The stomach which came into direct contact with the poison was slowly healing because of the wine, but other than that there is not much use, after the stomach healed, Sam poured some more and this slowed down the poison a bit, but it couldn"t be absorbed completely and the wine just stayed there.
Even the energy emitted from that wine is completely useless at this point. Sam was really stumped by this.
The heavenly wine can even have alleviating effects even on hydra poison, but this Midday green which is nowhere near as potent as the hydra poison made it hard.
If only he was injected with that poison, then it wouldn"t have been this hard to get rid of it, with the half-a.s.s potency it wouldn"t have even affected him.
As his thoughts of this, another thought came to his mind.
But he hesitated a bit.
Raunak observed Sam"s actions carefully and when he saw that look of hesitation, he asked.
"What happened? Is there no way?"
"There is one way, but it is a bit complicated. One mistake and she will die immediately. You wouldn"t even have these two hours with her."
Everyone stayed silent for a bit. Even Aruna didn"t say anything and just stayed quiet as she looked at Raunak. It is his decision. But it didn"t take long.
"Do it. At least this way there is a chance."
Sam looked at Aruna and said.
"I need a healer. A consummate level one. As soon as possible."
"A consummate level healer?" She was surprised a bit.
Sam nodded and once again observed the bloodstream. He really does have a plan, but it is dangerous. Extremely dangerous. He should be playing with the natural laws of the body and its functions. But that would be extremely dangerous. When he looked at the heart which is slowly being affected by the poison, he couldn"t help look at Aruna who is still thinking.
When he saw his look of urgency, she ran out of the house and ran towards the estate. She is a hidden guard, she doesn"t have contacts. There is only one healer she knew in this world that could help her.
And that also happened to be one person she is hating the most right now.
He is none other than Rajan.
When she reached the estate once again. Rajan is still standing on the same spot as he looked his daughter"s residence. Aruna noticed the bushes that are formed over the skeletons of the people he killed.
She knew all too well what they are.
Rajan noticed her presence and asked.
"What happened? Did you give her to him?"
"I need your help." She didn"t answer his question and directly came to the point.
"What do you need me for?"
"To save your daughter."
"It is impossible."
"There is a young man saying that there is a chance. You better make your quick, you are the only consummate level healer I know. I don"t have time."
Rajan stood up and was surprised, but he didn"t waste any questions and followed her. Soon they reached the residence and came inside.
Raunak was stunned and was about to explode when he looked at Rajan, but Sam gestured the trio who stopped him from doing so. They pinned him to the chair and closed his mouth as Philip slowly whispered something into his ear.
Rajan stood there and looked at Sam in askance.
"I want you to concentrate on her heart. No matter what happens, you have to heal it and make sure it works even without blood. Can you do that?"
"Only heart?"
"Yes, I will take care of the rest of the body, but make sure that you do not let the heart stop. It is really dangerous."
"I will do it."
"You can start now. Don"t try to force the poison out, I will take care of it myself, if the heart is injured heal it immediately, no matter what happens it shouldn"t fail."
With that Sam and Rajan, the two enemies who just wanted to kill each other a day before are trying to save the girl.
