The man nodded weakly. Compared to losing this leg, the pain of scraping away flesh was nothing. Yun Li took out a golden needle and sealed the acupoints around the wound to prevent the poison from spreading further. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, took a piece of cloth, rolled it up, and placed it between the man's teeth. "Bite down."
The man opened his mouth to bite down on the cloth, nodding slightly at Yun Li to indicate he was ready. But the moment Yun Li brought the Red Lotus Karmic Flame close to the wound on his leg to eliminate the demonic qi, the veins on the man's hands instantly bulged. He gripped the bedding beneath him tightly, his face flushing crimson as he clenched his teeth and remained utterly silent. After clearing the demonic qi from around the wound, Yun Li glanced at the man. "Hang in there a little longer. We still need to scrape away this rotted flesh."
The man nodded weakly. Yun Li took out a dagger, scorched it over the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, and set to work scraping away the decaying flesh surrounding the wound. As she scraped, she stole a glance at the man. To endure pain of this magnitude without a single sound, without even moving his leg—it was clear this man possessed a formidable will.
