Chapter 270 - Dongfang Bingling’s Heartbeat
Chapter 270: Dongfang Bingling’s Heartbeat
Yang Dingtian pressed forcefully to block all the gaps. He then used mystic qi to force his blood to flow into Dongfang Bingling’s blood vessels.
Yang Dingtian’s nine yang blood was indeed overwhelming and had forcefully defrosted Dongfang Bingling’s frozen blood. He estimated that one portion of Yang Dingtian’s nine yang blood could defrost three portions of the frozen blood.
This was good news and also bad news.
The good news was that Yang Dingtian could completely defrost Dongfang Bingling’s frozen blood. As long as her blood was defrosted, she should be able to wake up.
The bad news was that to defrost all of Dongfang Bingling’s blood completely, Yang Dingtian would have to put out a third of his blood. Of course, this quantity wouldn’t be life-threatening, but it would make Yang Dingtian very weak, and the consequences might be very severe.
Of course, there was another problem as a match of blood type was very important for blood transfusion. It just so happened that Yang Dingtian had the AB blood type, and unless Dongfang Bingling also had the AB blood type, their blood type wouldn’t match. A reckless transfusion would be extremely severe, and by then, Dongfang Bingling might not come back alive.
The chances for Dongfang Bingling’s blood type to be AB were less than 10%.
Hence, Yang Dingtian’s gamble this time was truly a struggle between life and death.
But the blood transfusion still continued. Yang Dingtian’s blood was dripping into Dongfang Bingling’s body.
Of course, there was another problem. Dongfang Bingling’s blood vessels’ capacity was very limited, and she didn’t really lose a lot of blood earlier; hence, it would be very dangerous for a third of Yang Dingtian’s blood to be pumped into her body.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian did something… When his blood entered Dongfang Bingling’s body, he opened up one of her blood vessels and allowed a small portion of blood to flow out.
***
Just like that, Yang Dingtian’s blood gradually entered Dongfang Bingling’s body, defrosting her blood vessels, inch by inch.
50 milliliters!
100 milliliters!
200 milliliters!
300 milliliters!
400 milliliters.
After transfusing 400 milliliters, Dongfang Bingling’s arm and a portion of the upper body had been slightly defrosted.
But, just this 400 milliliters had taken up two hours.
Furthermore, after losing 400 milliliters of blood, Yang Dingtian already felt weak.
A regular person would donate around 200 milliliters of blood. Right now, Yang Dingtian had offered two times of it.
(TL note: The quantity of blood in this world seems to be very different. Normally, we donate around 470 milliliters of blood during a donation.)
Furthermore, as the blood was lost, Yang Dingtian could clearly feel his energy slowly fading away.
According to calculations, Yang Dingtian would need to put out about a third of his blood, which was around 1,200 milliliters, right now, he was only a third of the progress.
(TL note: Again. Normally a human body has around 4.5 to 7.5 liters of blood.)
***
As Yang Dingtian continued the blood transfusion, his nine yang blood was melting Dongfang Bingling’s frozen blood with difficulty yet valiantly.
At about 900 milliliters, Yang Dingtian, who had never felt cold, had actually felt his body freezing.
Moreover, he felt his entire body drifting, and he was losing strength. It was difficult to breathe, his heart was racing, and he could only feel weakness.
The ground had already been drenched in blood, and 80% of Dongfang Bingling’s body had been defrosted.
One hour later, Yang Dingtian had already transfused 1,000 milliliters of blood to Dongfang Bingling.
Soon enough, her entire body’s blood was also fully defrosted.
Over 90% of the blood transfusion had been completed.
When Dongfang Bingling’s blood had been completely defrosted, the results would be out.
By then, they would know if Dongfang Bingling were going to wake up, and if her mystic meridians would recover. All of the outcomes would be decided.
***
1050 milliliters!
1080 milliliters!
1100 milliliters!
This amount of blood was already shocking. If it were a person on Earth, he would be reaching death soon. Even though Yang Dingtian practiced martial arts, his entire body was bursting with cold sweat, and his eyes were blacking out. He couldn’t endure it anymore.
He was also at his limit.
In fact, when the progress was at a few hundred milliliters, his blood wasn’t able to enter Dongfang Bingling’s body anymore. Yang Dingtian had to use mystic qi to force the blood in.
Finally, Dongfang Bingling’s blood was all defrosted.
But it was merely defrosted. There was no circulation, no heartbeat, no awakening.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and pulled the jade pipe out before sealing the wound on the wrist.
The entire transfusion lasted five hours, and there were only ten hours left before the blooming of the Mystic Flame.
After pulling out the jade pipe, Yang Dingtian immediately took out two elixirs to consume from the spatial ring.
One of the elixirs was a 6th-grade wonder spirit elixir that was used for healing and replenishment of the blood and strength.
The other elixir was a 6th-grade mystic assembly elixir that was used for the replenishment of mystic qi.
The elixirs that Ximen Ningning concocted were truly incredible. Yang Dingtian’s cold sweat quickly stopped as a warmth extended out from his head to toe.
The terrifying weakness gradually faded.
He was truly lucky. Within these five hours, Dugu Fengwu had gone to exchange for the demon core but was yet to return.
Originally, Yang Dingtian continued to refine the elixir’s medicinal effects. But time was pressing as he needed to make Dongfang Bingling’s blood circulate immediately.
After putting Dongfang Bingling down on the warm crystal, Yang Dingtian noticed that her clothes were rather tight. To help her regain her breathing and heartbeat, he had to undo the bindings.
Yang Dingtian’s mind flickered for a moment after seeing Dongfang Bingling’s absolutely beautiful face.
Despite Yang Dingtian’s constant reminders to himself, that time was pressing and he must not be distracted, but when he saw such a beautiful sight, he couldn’t help but admire it.
Right at this moment…
“Bang…” There was a sound of someone jumping into the water from above.
Instantly, Yang Dingtian was abruptly awakened.
Someone jumped down the unfreezing pool. Of course, this time, it was definitely not just an attempt. Dugu Fengwu must have obtained the thousand-year fire attribute demon core, and one of them must have jumped down the unfreezing pool with the demon core.
***
This time, they would certainly be able to swim across the unfreezing pool. This time, they were certainly going to kill Yang Dingtian.
But, it was unknown who was crossing the unfreezing pool to kill Yang Dingtian. Was it Qi Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan, or Dugu Fengwu, who was doing it personally.
But that wasn’t important right now. Yang Dingtian had to wake Dongfang Bingling up immediately; otherwise, Yang Dingtian was definitely dead.
The most direct method to make someone’s heart beating again was to give them an electric shock.
If it were anyone else, they might not be able to do anything, but Yang Dingtian could.
As such, Yang Dingtian immediately disregarded the person that jumped into the unfreezing pool and circulated the thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split, and aimed it at Dongfang Bingling’s heart before releasing it abruptly.
“Bang…” Two thunderbolts struck gently on Dongfang Bingling’s chest.
Instantly, two red marks appeared on her chest.
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian laid down and placed his ear on her chest to listen for a heartbeat.
The heart wasn’t beating yet.
At this moment, that person had already submerged to the 300-meter mark of the unfreezing pool and at a very fast speed. With the fire attribute demon core, there wasn’t any need to be apprehensive when diving down.
Yang Dingtian continued to circulate before he suddenly released another Mountain Split.
This time, two thicker thunderbolts struck on the position above Dongfang Bingling’s heart. Her delicate body had jerked up after the heavy strike.
Yang Dingtian immediately placed his ears on her chest to listen to heartbeats again.
The heart was still not beating.
Right now, that person was already at the 500-meter mark.
Yang Dingtian’s heart was burning anxiously. Time was truly very pressing, and it was simply like a line between life and death.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. He had two more chances, after the two attempts, that person was going to get through the unfreezing pool.
In fact, after the third electric shock, that person would be able to see through the 200 to 300 meters of the unfreezing water. That person would see Dongfang Bingling’s body too. But Yang Dingtian didn’t bother so much at such a crucial moment.
Yang Dingtian prepared the third Mountain Split.
This time, Yang Dingtian used even more mystic qi energy, and the power of the thunderbolts was also stronger.
“Mountain Split, go!”
Two thunderbolts burst out from Yang Dingtian’s palm that were as thick as a tree trunk. They immediately struck on Dongfang Bingling’s soft chest.
“Bang…” There were two fresh blood marks.
Dongfang Bingling’s delicate body jerked up more than one foot, and her petite mouth vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
The power of these thunderbolts was very shocking, and the frail Dongfang Bingling was unable to endure it.
Yang Dingtian quickly went down to listen to her heart.
Right now, that person had already reached the 750-meter mark.
Yang Dingtian was absolutely certain that they had the fire attribute demon core; otherwise, they couldn’t pass the 500-meter mark.
That person was going to emerge out of the unfreezing water and appear in front of Yang Dingtian. By then, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling would be killed by that person.
“Thump Thump…” Yang Dingtian heard the sound of the heartbeat on Dongfang Bingling’s chest.
