The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1090 - 581: Regaining the Initiative
...
According to his estimation, Yan Xiaobao would definitely use his Wooden Sword to block the arrow, which would eliminate one of his two deadly threats and allow him to regain the initiative.
However, at that moment, Yan Xiaobao's eyes turned scarlet; he knew he couldn't afford to give the opponent the slightest chance to act. If he did, he would likely be killed.
Clenching his teeth, he decided not to use the Wooden Sword to defend, but rather let the arrow tip get close and stab into his abdomen. Meanwhile, the arrow he had thrown wobbled forward and pierced the man's chest. As the man screamed, blood sprayed everywhere, and his eyes widened in surprise as the force of the strike pushed him back even faster.
At that moment, Yan Xiaobao's Wooden Sword struck the man down, as if it demanded to end his life. Through a swift slashing motion, it completely severed the man's head, which fell to the ground.
After completing these actions, Yan Xiaobao coughed up blood, then without hesitation dashed into the shadows of the trees, and disappeared.
After several breaths, many other cultivators of the Luochen Family arrived at the scene. As they looked around, a look of shock appeared on their faces because they realized Yan Xiaobao was so fierce that he would even harm himself to kill his opponent.
A moment later, the Chen Heng Crown Prince appeared with a glimmer of hope.
He looked at his clan member's severed head and then at the other blood stains in the area. His expression turned severe, and a fierce murderous intent emanated from him.
There were five other clan members in the area, three of whom belonged to Level 8 Qi Condensation, and the other two to Level 7.
"Chen Feng, Chen Gu, you two go find the others. We can't let ourselves be driven off our territory. The rest of you... come with me. We're bringing back this guy's head!" With that, Chen Heng flicked his sleeve and walked toward the forest.
The two at Level 7 Qi Condensation complied with Chen Heng's order and continued to search. The other three followed Chen Heng into the woods, their eyes gleaming with a desire to kill.
In the jungle covering the Nameless Mountain, Yan Xiaobao continued onward, dizzy and with blurred vision. His shoulder, abdomen, and right leg were all seriously injured. Due to the cold brought by the rain, he shivered more violently than usual.
"Am I going to die?" he thought, with a painful smile. Seeing all his injuries, and the ensuing bone spur pain, brought tears to his eyes.
He suddenly remembered pictures of his parents, sick on their deathbeds. Then he recalled how he watched their bodies slowly grow cold in death.
Perhaps it was then that he began to particularly fear the thought of death.
"I want to live!" he thought. He wiped away the tears on his face with his left arm and gritted his teeth against the cold as he pushed through the forest. He had no idea where he was or what he was going to do. There was only one thought in his mind. "I have to live!"
In fact, his fear of death seemed to give him endless strength and kept him going as he accelerated through the stormy night. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Gradually, he began to realize that after all the fights, his cultivation base was stirring, and he was actually not far from breaking through to Level 7 Qi Condensation.
Eventually, the sun became visible in the distance, and as the light pierced through the leaves, it reflected off the falling raindrops, creating a beautiful scene.
Chen Heng and the other three Luochen Clan cultivators followed at top speed. Chen Heng's face grew darker as he realized their quarry, despite such serious injuries, was moving quickly through the forest, and they had made no progress. After chasing him all night, they still had no idea where he was.
Furthermore, the rain ensured that his tracks were quickly washed away. Although they belonged to a cultivation tribe from the Fallenstar Mountain that often hunted beasts in the forest, they still couldn't track him.
"Well, let's split up," Chen Heng gritted his teeth and said. "He's injured, so he can't run for long. You three, keep about three hundred meters apart. When you find him, don't engage! Notify me immediately!" The other three clan members nodded and went off in different directions.
Time flew by. By the second day, Yan Xiaobao was thoroughly exhausted, reaching his limit. If it weren't for him running for his life, he would have collapsed long ago.
His lips were cracked and split, his face haggard, and his pace slow. After some time, which took the burning of an incense stick, his face suddenly flickered when he saw a blur of movement to his right. However, no one attacked him. Instead, the figure immediately fell back.
It was a long-faced young man, one of the three Luochen Clan members who had been looking for him. Even as the young man fell over, he drew out a jade slab and pressed it to send a message.
Yan Xiaobao's face sank, and he pushed forward through the forest faster than before.
The long-faced young man watched him leave. Yan Xiaobao scared him so much that even when debating whether to chase immediately, he saw two people flying from afar, and his expression brightened.
These were the other two clan members, and far away, he could even see Chen Heng.
