The Mysterious Way of Heaven

Chapter 3

The ox had run far away, and its figure gradually disappeared. At this time, the Green Wolf in the opposite hand moved. It did not rush directly to Li Yun, but slowly rotated around him. In order to maintain a frontal confrontation with the enemy, Li Yun had to move with it, not daring to relax at all.

The green wolf was extremely cunning. It surrounded Li Yun, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes moving and sometimes stopping! As time passed, Li Yun gradually couldn't keep up with the green wolf's pace. Although Li Yun's martial arts was good, he was just a child after all. His actual combat experience was almost zero. He usually fought with others, but he just practiced with Uncle Cheng.

"No, this situation is too passive. Uncle Cheng said that we should be the first to attack when encountering the enemy. It's better to be caught off guard. Isn't that what Green Wolf attacked just now?" Although Li Yun was usually not scheming, he was extremely clever. He learned fast and studied diligently. He could also make a few mistakes. At this time, Li Yun naturally thought of what Uncle Cheng had taught him.

When Green Wolf turned to Li Yun's side, Li Yun suddenly turned and ran forward, and his back was completely exposed. Green Wolf no longer hesitated. He stepped back, jumped into the air, and bit Li Yun's neck.

Li Yun knew that Green Wolf was injured, so it was not convenient for him to chase. When he saw that he was about to run, he would definitely pounce on him. Therefore, Li Yun ran two steps forward and immediately stopped. He squatted down and turned his back to Green Wolf. He pushed his feet forward and waved his right hand upward. His hand was holding a dagger that had been unsheathed. As he dodged the attack, he stabbed at Green Wolf's waist and abdomen.

"Sizzle!" The sound of the sole rubbing against the grass was extremely harsh. At this time, Li Yun could hear the snoring sound of his leg muscles exerting strength. Li Yun gathered all his strength in this attack. "Uncle Cheng once said that the winner of a master's attack will be decided in an instant. Unless the master's realm is too high, he will exert all his strength, like a lion fighting a rabbit."

Anyway, it was a perfect blow. From the previous calculations to the secret drawing of daggers, to the final gathering power explosion, it was simply impeccable. Li Yun was also confident that he could kill Green Wolf.

However, things were often unexpected. Green Wolf criss-crossed with Li Yun, Li Yun had the absolute advantage. The dagger was about to pierce Green Wolf's abdomen. At this time, a blue light suddenly appeared on Green Wolf's body, blocking the dagger. At the same time, his hind leg went down, and his claws in the sole suddenly grew nearly three inches, sliding directly from Li Yun's thigh with cyan light.

The transformation of his defense was too fast. Li Yun had no time to avoid it. He didn't react mentally. He just instinctively avoided his knee. Three blood stains went all the way from the outside of his thigh to his calf. The wound was very deep. Although it was not as big as the bone, it was still about half an inch deep.

"Demonic beast!" Li Yun couldn't help shouting. "It must be a demonic beast. Otherwise, with my ninth level of Skin-Toughening Realm, even a cold dagger wouldn't hurt me like this. Run!" While his brain was spinning, he had already jumped up from the pain and turned to run up the mountain.

The green wolf was a little dispirited, as if it had lost some strength. But when it saw the prey escaping, it let out a howl, "Ouch!" It had thought that it would break the prey's leg, but it didn't expect that Li Yun's flesh would be so tough. In the past few days, it had only eaten a rabbit, and no matter what, it couldn't let go of this troublesome prey.

Li Yun ran desperately to the mountain. Fear attacked him again. Different from the fear of the unknown things, he felt that his life was threatened this time. Driven by his instinct to survive, Li Yun could no longer feel the pain in his leg. He just knew to keep running.

The Green Wolf was not willing to give up for this delicious meal. Although its front leg was injured and it had just used up the little bit of demon power left in the demon core, the prey in front was also injured and certainly could not hold on for too long.

A wolf and a man, one after another, gradually went away. Only a few drops of blood on the grass proved the brief and soul-stirring battle that had just happened here.

###Chapter3,Murong Yingtian

As time went on, Li Yun's legs bled more and more. The pain could be overcome, and the negative impact brought by blood loss was gradually reflected. Li Yun felt that his strength was getting smaller and smaller. His legs were like lead, and he had to use all his strength with every step he took. His breathing was getting difficult, and he felt like his chest was burning with pain. What scared Li Yun the most was that everything in front of him was getting dark, and things in his vision were getting blurred.

The footsteps of the wolf chasing behind him were getting closer and closer. Li Yun was scared out of his wits and scared out of his wits. A dense forest appeared in front of him, and Li Yun, who was panicky, plunged into it.

This forest was very strange. Li Yun originally ran up the mountain. The woodland looked like a slope up, but after entering the forest, he suddenly went down. Normally, Li Yun would have found the problem in it, but now in a panic, he could not care about anything. Fortunately, the slope was smooth, so Li Yun did not fall.

The Green Wolf behind Li Yun focused all his attention on the prey in front of him at this time. He did not increase his vigilance against the environmental changes.

After running for a while, Li Yun lost more blood, and his legs were almost unable to move. A desperate mood came over him. At this time, a cliff about 300 feet high stood in front of Li Yun, blocking the way ahead. Li Yun, who was desperate, was forced into a dead end. He gritted his teeth and was about to stop, turning around and fighting desperately with Green Wolf!

At this time, Green Wolf also saw the wall in front of him. He knew that the prey was in a desperate situation, and it had little demon power itself. So he suddenly exerted all his strength, rushed forward, and hit Li Yun in the back. He decided not to give the prey any chance to resist.

Li Yun was about to turn around. When he heard the whistling wind behind him, he only felt that his internal organs shook violently and his throat was bloody. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his whole person flew forward and crashed into the cliff.

"Awoo" The wolf was so excited that it howled after he succeeded in one move. When it was about to continue to enjoy its prey, it saw a very strange scene. The prey that slammed into the wall completely went into the cliff and disappeared.

"Illusion!" The Green Wolf realized that there was a possibility. With its many years of experience fighting with all kinds of demonic beasts in the Continuous Mountains, the Green Wolf reacted. This time, it could hurt the fox with its tail.

The green wolf hesitated for a long time. It wanted to leave, but was unwilling to waste any time thinking about its prey that was about to reach its mouth. If it rushed in, it was worried that it might be in danger as well. In the end, its nature prevailed over rationality, hunger continuously stimulating its nerves, the temptation of food drawing it towards the cliff walls step by step. However, it didn't rush straight forward, instead laying down in front of the cliff walls, slowly recovering its own demonic force.

Li Yun slowly opened his eyes and found that he was lying on a stone couch. It seemed that he was in a small stone hole, surrounded by stone walls. There were no man-made traces. The stone bed leaned against the wall, with a fist-sized luminous pearl on the side, illuminating the entire stone hole.

Li Yun's thoughts gradually returned to his mind. "I was hit by Green Wolf, am I dead? Where is this?" Li Yun wanted to get up, but a slight movement and a severe pain came from his leg, and his chest and abdomen were also displaced. "Wow," he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You're already awake!" As the voice sounded, a figure appeared in front of Li Yun. It was a middle-aged man in a moon-white robe. He had a plain face and a calm expression, which made it hard for others to find words to describe his appearance. It was also because of this calmness that people could not realize his actual age, about 30 or 40 years old.

"Kid, eat this!" The middle-aged man said as he took out a vermillion pill and handed it to Li Yun. "I have already treated your leg injury. Your stomach is shaking violently and your injury is not light. Just when you were in a coma, I have fed you a heart-protecting pill. Take another pill and you will be injured by 80%."

"Thank you for saving my life, uncle. My name is Li Yun. Uncle, please tell me your name and where I am now after saving me." Li Yun did not refuse. After thanking him, he took a mouthful of the Heart-protecting Pill. Immediately, a warm current rose from his abdomen and flowed to his limbs. His whole body was warm as if he was soaked in warm water. Li Yun only felt an itch in his throat, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"This child of yours is quite interesting. Although he's young, he's able to pick up some words from adults. It seems that he's from a big family, taught by the family." A faint smile appeared on the middle aged man's face.

"You were hit in the back by the demon wolf's head, and you were knocked into a coma and vomited blood. This is the cliff you see. In fact, the small forest outside is just a camouflage array I set. It must be because you were in a panic at that time and were not very sober, so you could not be fascinated by the array and came here. The cliff here is just a deceptive trick. In fact, it's just a cave."

"My name is Murong Jingtian!"

Li Yun felt Murong Jingtian's voice suddenly rise as he spoke. A condescending and contemptuous aura emanated from his voice.

"Uncle Murong, you are really amazing!" Li Yun exclaimed, "That Green Wolf must have been killed by you!"

"Well... that Green Wolf is recovering his demon power at the entrance of the cave and will break in at any time." Murong Ye's calm face was a little gloomy.

Li Yun looked surprised after hearing this. "What should we do? Do you have any other ways? Let's run quickly!" As he said this, he jumped off the bed. "Ah!" Li Yun, whose leg injury had not yet recovered, fell to the ground.

"It's not like there's no way to kill the Demonic Wolf. Let's see if you dare to do it." Murong Yingtian stretched out his hand and helped Li Yun up.
