Chapter 145: Chapter 1346: The Cave
’Damn it, I’ve been discovered!’
Nie Yun’s heart went cold when he heard the roar.
Avian Demon Beasts were naturally sharp-sighted. This Purple Fla Eagle was at the Peak of Qi Sect, its vision even keener than a human’s. ’Even though I was well-hidden, I’ve still been found!’
’Even though I’m not weak and can defeat Demon Beasts at the Peak of Qi Sect, two fists are no match for four hands. And this isn’t just four hands—it’s dozens! If I don’t run, I’m dead for sure!’
’Run!’
Without a mont’s hesitation, Nie Yun shot forward like a teor, his foot pushing off the ground.
The Demon Beasts were already right behind him. Ahead, only two creatures around the Mid-Stage Qi Sect stood frozen in a daze. To have any chance of survival, he had to push forward!
ROAR!
The mont he erged from the shadows, he drew the attention of every Demon Beast. The two dazed creatures ahead snapped out of it, and one—a snow-white Demon Beast—swiped its sharp claws straight down at Nie Yun!
A White Rock Beast. It was a strength-based Demon Beast that looked much like a Wind Wolf, completely white with razor-sharp claws. Though it was only at the Mid-Stage Qi Sect, a human at the Peak of Qi Sect would be no match for it in a real fight!
SWOOSH!
As the sharp claws slashed down, Nie Yun felt four chilling, ghostly gusts of wind. Before the attack even reached him, his clothes ripped down the middle with a SHRRRIP!
Since he was cultivating in the mountains, Nie Yun had specifically bought plenty of clothes and stored them in his Storage Dantian. He hadn’t expected the Wind Wolf King to tear one set just last night, only for this White Rock Beast to rip another today!
Fortunately, Nie Yun had cultivated the second level of his Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique to the Great Success realm. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have just been his clothes; his body would have been sliced in two!
"Get out of my way!"
He knew this was no ti to worry about ruined clothes; he had to focus on escaping with his life. Veins bulged on Nie Yun’s forehead as he violently swung his arm, hurling the Royal Family’s Low-Grade Long Spear forward with all his might!
VWOOM!
The spear was thrown with so much force that it created a swirling vortex of Qi as it flew straight toward the White Rock Beast!
SQUELCH!
Back at the Mid-Stage Armor Realm, he could fight the Peak of Qi Sect Wind Wolf King on strength alone. Now at the Late-Stage Armor Realm, fueled by his rage, the spear pierced through the White Rock Beast’s tough defenses without any resistance, bursting out its back with a crisp crack!
THUD!
The White Rock Beast was killed in a single blow, its corpse collapsing heavily to the ground.
Killing the White Rock Beast brought Nie Yun no excitent, only greater urgency. His Seven Great Dantians spun madly as thick streams of True Qi coursed through his ridians. His speed surged once more. He vaulted over the White Rock Beast, snatched the spear from the air, and continued his charge deeper into the valley.
ROAR! AWOOO! SCREECH!
Seeing the human kill one of their own, all the Demon Beasts in the valley flew into a complete rage. They roared one after another, simultaneously launching attacks at the fleeing figure.
Once a Demon Beast reached the Qi Sect level, its attacks were no longer limited to physical strength. They could employ many special abilities, just as the Wind Wolf King had used a whirlwind to increase its speed. Dozens of Demon Beasts unleashed their strongest attacks at once. A powerful gale, like an apocalyptic storm, swept down the valley toward Nie Yun!
’True Qi Protection! Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique! Great Rock-Splitting Palm!’
Feeling the imnse power surging from behind, Nie Yun knew he couldn’t dodge. He flung his right hand back, unleashing his strongest attack behind him. At the sa ti, he shielded his organs and ridians with True Qi, never breaking stride as he pressed forward.
BOOM!
The powerful barrage of attacks easily crushed his Great Rock-Splitting Palm and slamd viciously into his back.
PFFT!
Nie Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, heavily injured.
But he had to keep running, even injured. Using the recoil from the blast, Nie Yun flipped twice in mid-air, putting several hundred ters between himself and his pursuers.
’As long as I don’t die right now, I can heal any injury with my Healing Qi!’
"Did you think this was a place you could co and go as you please? Stay!"
Just as Nie Yun thought he had escaped the Demon Beasts’ attack range, a furious shout suddenly bood from above!
The voice was sonorous and clear, making the entire valley reverberate.
’A human?’
Hearing a human voice, Nie Yun’s heart skipped a beat. He looked up, and his face grew even paler.
It wasn’t a human at all. It was a Black Bear!
A Black Bear that could fly and speak!
An Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Beast!
’Dozens of Qi Sect-level Demon Beasts were already more than I could handle. How can there be an Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Beast here too? What is going on?’
’Am I going to die here today?’
A wave of defiance surged through Nie Yun.
’Huh? Is that a cave over there?’
Just as Nie Yun was losing all hope, he caught sight of a small cave not far away.
The cave was embedded in the cliff face. Its entrance wasn’t large, and the interior was pitch-black, looking incredibly deep.
RUMBLE!
The mont he saw the cave, the Black Bear in the sky attacked. A massive Palm Seal, powerful enough to blot out the sky, descended from above, pressing down viciously on Nie Yun!
An Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Beast could already speak, and its power was terrifying. If that palm strike truly landed, even a newly-ascended Ultimate Venerable like the Wind Wolf King would likely be injured!
If Nie Yun were hit, forget his Healing Qi—even if all Seven Great Dantians were Healing Dantians, it would be useless!
’My only chance!’
Feeling the imnse pressure descending from above, Nie Yun knew his only chance of survival was to get into that cave!
The cave was set into a steep cliff. As long as he could get inside, he would live—unless his opponent brought down the entire mountain!
’What’s inside the cave, whether it’s dangerous or not... now’s not the ti to think about that!’
At this thought, Nie Yun found a new reservoir of strength. Driven by an intense will to live, his speed doubled once more. With a WHOOSH, he broke through the remaining distance and shot into the cave!
BAM!
Just as he entered the cave, the Black Bear’s Palm Seal slamd heavily into the ground. All the rocks in the area were instantly pulverized, and a massive crater over ten ters deep appeared in the earth.
A casual palm strike had created a crater over ten ters deep and a hundred ters long in the solid rock. The power of an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse was truly terrifying!
"Hmm? Damn it! How did he get in there? Hmph. Let’s see you stay in there forever. The mont you co out, you die!"
Seeing the youth dart into the cave, the Black Bear in the sky hesitated. It didn’t charge in after him. Instead, it let out a furious roar, its deep voice echoing endlessly through the valley.
ROAR! AWOOO! SCREECH!
The many Demon Beasts that had been pursuing Nie Yun saw what had happened. They all let out hateful roars before slowly retreating and disappearing back into the valley.
