Chapter 13 - Extraordinary
Beauty
Long Chen turned around and his
Soul almost left his body. The wolf
with glowing red eyes chased after
him as it roared maniacally. It was
less than twenty meters away and if
nothing happened, he would
probably die in fifteen minutes.
"There are so many things I haven't
done yet! Will I die here?"
Unwilling to die, Long Chen roared
and ran with all his might.
Unfortunately, the wolf was just too
quick. Very quickly, Long Chen could
smell it.
The smell of a wolf.
"f**k! I'm not strong enough to kill
you just yet!"
Blood surged through his body. He
knew that if things continued this
way, the wolf would puncture his
chest with just one strike once it
caught up to him. At the very last
moment, he turned suddenly.
Starlight erupted from Long Chen
with a mighty roar and a ray of light
like a falling star shot towards the
wolf! "Eat this! Meteor Fist! Die!"
Boom! The Constellation Demon
Wolf roared with a guttural voice,
lifted its paw, and struck down with
full force. Its enormous power
defused Long Chen's Meteor Fist
and hit Long Chen. Blood sprayed
from his mouth as he flew into the
air, landing with a thud. Even the
Meteor Fist couldn't stop it!
He felt blood coursing through his
veins. He'd lost half of his strength
from the strike. The Constellation
Demon Wolf roared once more and
swiped a paw at his head. His head
would be crushed from the blow!
Long Chen stared as the beast
attacked with intimidating ferocity.
It was the most powerful opponent
Long Chen had ever encountered,
and he had almost no way of
defending himself. As the glinting
claws slowly approached, Long
Chen suddenly laughed. He
clenched his fist tightly and
shouted, "Think you can kill me? It
won't be that easy!"
He sprang to his feet, gathering all
the strength he had. Pairing
together all the power and Qi he
had in his Constellation Body, he
charged towards the wolf with the
intensity of a crashing asteroid!
The feeling of holding fate in his
own hands ignited every shred of
passion and rage within him!
Despite his injuries, he unleashed
his most powerful attack ever. He
released the Meteor Fist, using up
all the Qi in his body.
"You i***t! Why are you killing
yourself!"
A trembling voice exclaimed behind
Long Chen. His vision blurred, then a
ray of hazy light appeared before
him. He felt like he was in a dream.
The Ling Xi Sword floated in front of
him, and the huge amnounts of white
mist pouring out of it momentarily
blocked Long Chen's vision. A
silhouette slowly solidified within
the mist and although Long Chen
could only see her back, a word
floated into his mind. "Fairy ..."
The hypnotizing black hair of the girl
in the mist billowed gracefully down
her back. Her skin was as delicate
as jade. She was gentle and
feminine, clad in a pale blue dress,
with a thin waist and beautiful
figure. She was so flawlessly
beautiful that she didn't look
human.
Although he could only see her
back, he was sure that she was
beautiful.
The injuries he sustained were
actually much more serious than he
realized. He didn't feel them only
because of his determination to live.
When Ling Xi appeared from the
sword, he suddenly felt peace in his
heart.
Then, agonizing pain tore through
his body. His serious injuries left him
at his absolute limit now that he'd
spent all his Qi. His consciousness
dimmed and the unbelievable
beauty slowly disappeared as his
vision grew dark.
A long time later, he woke to find
himself lying between two gigantic
boulders. He lifted his head and saw
gray skies, which meant he was still
in the Desolate Beastlands.
He felt awful but at the same time,
he didn't feel like anything was
severely wrong. Recalling what had
happened before he'd passed out,
he panicked and called out, "Xiao Xi,
where are you?"
"l'm here."
After he heard the weak voice, he
noticed the Ling Xi Sword leaning
against a boulder nearby. He
remembered everything clearly. He
couldn't help but feel a sense of
comradeship with Ling Xi and at the
same time, he recalled her
extraordinary beauty.
Ling Xi's voice sounded very weak.
Worried, he asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine ... But l'm exhausted, I've
got no strength to talk ... Now that
you've woken up, it's time for me to
sleep ... If you wake me, Ill kill you
Mmm..."
She fell asleep at the end of her
sentence. "She fell asleep so
quickly, what a pig," scolded Long
Chen with a smile.
This girl not only saved him but also
forced herself to stay awake while
he was unconscious despite being
weak and exhausted.
"| know how much she's done for
me! She's a lonely girl, I'll gladly
repay her kindness from this day
onwards!"
Long Chen knew how Ling Xi had
lost her physical body because of
the sword, which had sucked her
Soul into itself. "Ling Xi must've
struck the wolf! I've now gotten two
pieces of demonic ginseng, this is
great for advancing my cultivation!"
He observed his surroundings. Once
he was sure that he was safe, he
took the ginseng out and ate one
first. Very quickly, he felt warmth
spreading through his body,
circulating throughout his entire
being several times. It nourished his
cells as it traveled to his dantian.
"This warmth is also medicinal
strength. I must cultivate to turn
this into Qi."
Time passed slowly.
An hour passed. He had completely
digested all the medicinal strength
contained in one piece of demonic
ginseng. He frowned. "Demonic
ginseng is an intermediate-level
spiritual herb. I'm afraid one piece
still isn't enough for mne to work
towards breaking the fourth dragon
vein. Ill eat another then. I've got
the Constellation Body so my veins
are stronger than those of the
average person, I'm sure I can
withstand the strong medicinal
strength!"
He ate the next piece decisively.
Dense medicinal strength spread
through his body and he intensified
his cultivation. More and more Qi
accumulated in his dantian until
there was more than enough to
achieve breakthrough. "It is done. I'll
try working towards the Fourth
Draconic Stage now. Since there is a
steep barrier every three stages,
entering the Fourth Draconic Stage
will definitely make me much more
powerful. If I meet the Constellation
Demon Wolf again, I won't be as
helpless as I was!"
Wielding his mighty Qi, he charged
towards the fourth dragon vein.
Attempting the breakthrough was
several times more difficult than
breaking through the Third Draconic
Stage. He faced a huge obstruction
in his first attempt. "Cultivating the
Draconic Realm is difficult indeed. I
can't believe I still can't break
through with Father's Qi and two
demonic ginsengs. But, this is not
yet my limit!"
Clenching his teeth, Long Chen
mobilized all his Qi and charged
towards a breakthrough again. The
mighty roar of a dragon rumbled
within his body.
An hour later, there was a loud
boom and powerful gusts of energy
exploded in all directions. Long
Chen stood up, Qi swirling in his
eyes.
He clenched his fists, feeling the
power within his body. "Is this the
Fourth Draconic Stage? This is
powerful. Yang Zhan must've been
very useless to have lost to mne with
this power."
He looked at the Ling Xi sword and
said, "Ling Xi pushed herself to her
limit to leave the sword, I don't
think she'll wake up any time soon.
There's not much time left until the
Family Meeting, I can't waste any
more time. I'll cultivate my
Constellation Body and stabilize
myself at the Fourth Draconic Stage.
Then, I'll work towards the fifth."
Long Chen's racing thoughts calmed
now that he had grown stronger. He
sat on the ground and continued
cultivating.
