Hu Shuisheng's True Qi was depleted, his body severely injured, and after a period of frantic running, he could hardly hold on any longer.
Gao Fei's situation was also dire due to poison, which had spread to all parts of his body. Such intense exertion was the last thing he needed, yet he didn't care. He chased after Hu Shuisheng with all his might, even if his breathing was labored and bouts of sharp pain wracked his body, he didn't stop.
Both n had incredibly tenacious wills.
At this point, it was a battle of willpower; whoever had the stronger willpower would last to the end and erge as the victor.
Ti flew by...
One incense stick's ti!
Two incense sticks' ti!
Half an hour!
An hour!
As it turned out, Gao Fei's willpower was slightly stronger. Look, he was about to catch up with Hu Shuisheng.
"Old man, you can't run!" Gao Fei panted, "Today, you're bound to die."
Seeing that Gao Fei was about to catch up with him, Hu Shuisheng beca frantically anxious.
He absolutely couldn't let Gao Fei catch up!
Absolutely not!
A fierce light flashed in Hu Shuisheng's eyes. At this point, he had no choice but to use that thod... Damnable situation! For a Nascent Soul Cultivator like himself to be pushed to such straits was truly pathetic. Hu Shuisheng turned to look at Gao Fei, "Gao Fei! I swear to the heavens, I will kill you!
Kill you!!!" As he said this, Hu Shuisheng bit his tongue hard, "Puh!" He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turned deathly pale in an instant, his breaths coming in rapid gasps, his body swaying as if it would fall at any mont.
"Whoosh!"
Hu Shuisheng suddenly flew into the air, then beca a streak of light that shot away quickly, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Gao Fei was stunned, frozen, slack-jawed in disbelief.
"Damn!"
When he ca to his senses, Gao Fei cursed loudly, "What the hell! Is this so kind of exaggeration? Are you freaking Superman or sothing!"
His prey had slipped away just like that; how could Gao Fei be content? Of course not! But what could he do? He couldn't hope to chase after him; even if he wanted to, he had no idea which direction to pursue.
"This is infuriating." Gao Fei sat down heavily on the ground, taking deep, ragged breaths, "Just a little bit more, just a little bit!!!"
If Hu Shuisheng didn't die, he would be a lingering threat.
"Alright, stop regretting." Xuan Jizi's voice ca from within his mind, "The opponent must have used so secret technique to increase his speed by dozens of tis. Even with wings, you wouldn't be able to catch up to him."
"What should I do then?" Gao Fei asked.
"What can you do? Just accept defeat!" Xuan Jizi said, "However, looking on the bright side, you managed to push your opponent to this extent, which is quite an accomplishnt. Rember, he is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and you, with your Inedia Stage cultivation, managed to drive away a Nascent Soul Cultivator. That in itself is a miracle."
"If he doesn't die, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace, I... cough, cough, cough..." Gao Fei suddenly started coughing violently, and imdiately began spitting out blood in large mouthfuls; the ground at his feet quickly soaked with fresh blood.
"Breathe deeply! Regulate your breathing rhythm, relax!" Xuan Jizi shouted, "Take it slow, don't rush! Yes, just like that, slowly, relax, deep breaths!"
It took a long while for Gao Fei to finally calm down.
"Spitting several liters of blood every day, if I don't die from the poison, I'll die from blood loss." Gao Fei said with a bitter smile.
"Don't lose heart, you will certainly overco this hardship." Xuan Jizi consoled.
"Don't comfort ." Gao Fei shook his head, "I know my own situation the best, unless a miracle happens, I'm dood."He sighed softly, "Thinking about dying fills with fear, after death I won't be able to see my family and friends ever again."
"Pull yourself together, you won't let things end like this." Xuan Jizi said.
"Let's go, let's leave this place." Gao Fei stood up, his body swaying as he walked away.
...
Suddenly, a piece of news spread across the land: The Sect Leader of Sunset Sect had been injured by soone and fled back to his sect in a very sorry state. After a series of treatnts, although his life was saved, his Cultivation Realm had dropped by one level, from a Nascent Soul Cultivator to a Golden Core Cultivator.
Following the spread of this news, there was a huge uproar among the people.
Was the news true? Or false?
So believed it to be true, but more thought it was false. What kind of person was the Sect Leader of Sunset Sect? How could he have been injured by soone? Not to ntion the drop in his Cultivation Realm—it was preposterous!
Curious folks went to inquire the disciples of the Sunset Sect, but in the end, they were all turned away; the disciples of the Sunset Sect simply did not answer.
...
Tianyang Sect.
Song Qingfeng sat in his chair, his expression quite complex. On the table in front of him was a letter written by Hu Shuisheng, the Sect Leader of the Sunset Sect. Its contents followed: I was sneak attacked by that damned Gao Fei, suffered a heavy injury, and fell one realm in my cultivation. My position as Sect Leader is likely in jeopardy...
If Gao Fei returns to the Tianyang Sect, Sect Leader Song must capture him and then notify ... I have an irreconcilable grudge with Gao Fei, and I must slaughter him!
Song Qingfeng read the letter three tis over.
"Genius is always genius," Song Qingfeng said with a bitter smile, shaking his head, "Even poisoned, he is still a genius! For an Inedia Stage cultivator to defeat a Nascent Soul Cultivator is too unbelievable! A miracle!!!
"Such a pity that Gao Fei has been poisoned! His life will not last long!
"If only Gao Fei were not poisoned, how wonderful that would be.
"A once in ten thousand years genius, just like that, gone."
Song Qingfeng was filled with a multitude of emotions.
...
Sunset Sect.
Inside a luxurious cave dwelling.
Hu Shuisheng sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, his hands extended flatly on his knees. His breathing was at tis rapid, at tis slow, and his complexion also flickered between bright and dim.
After a long ti...
Hu Shuisheng slowly opened his eyes, then exhaled a breath of foul air, "Finally, my injury has stabilized; after so more rest, it will be alright." Saying this, his expression turned grim, "Yet, what's hateful is that my cultivation realm has fallen one level, from the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage down to the Tenth Level of the Golden Core Stage, how infuriating!!!
When Hu Shuisheng was being pursued by Gao Fei, in a desperate bid to save his life, he used a secret technique that could amplify his speed by dozens of tis, a superb thod for escaping danger. Of course, this secret technique was not to be used lightly, as it had a serious aftermath.
After using the secret technique, the cultivator's realm would fall. If lucky, by one level; if not, by an entire major realm.
Hu Shuisheng was driven to desperation; otherwise, he would not have used such a secret technique.
Back in the day, it took him decades to advance from the Tenth Level of the Golden Core Stage to the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage. Subsequently becoming the Sect Leader at the peak of his pride, he encountered Gao Fei, this disaster star. After being ambushed, his cultivation realm precipitously dropped one level.
"Decades of hard work have turned to ashes. I cannot accept this!!!"
Hu Shuisheng roared furiously to the heavens.
"Sect Leader," a disciple's voice ca from outside.
"What is it?" Hu Shuisheng cald his irritated mood, then asked in an unhurried manner.
"The Elders have arrived..."
"What do they want?"
"They say it is to visit you..."
"Not seeing them! Tell them all to go back!"
"But..."
"Didn't you hear what I said? I told them to go back! When I have ti, I will et them!" Hu Shuisheng shouted loudly.
"Yes, I will relay the ssage to them right now." The disciple turned and left.
"A bunch of old fools," Hu Shuisheng cursed through gritted teeth, "Seeing injured, they cannot contain themselves, thinking to play tricks? No chance! As long as I am alive, no one should even think of touching the position of Sect Leader."
"Tramp tramp tramp..."
Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps ca from outside.
"Sect Leader, we have co to see you, why refuse us entry?"
"Indeed, Sect Leader, we heard you were injured and are all very anxious."
"Please open the gate, let us in. We have brought a lot of healing pills, all of the highest quality."
A group of people made a noisy commotion outside the door.
"These old fellows, they never give it a rest," Hu Shuisheng frowned, "Looks like today I must et with them."
