Vol. 1 - Chapter 108 - Don't Die
Boom!
After Chen Qingyu moved away, the ground was immediately shattered by the green wolf's powerful qi and blood, creating several large, deep pits.
Chen Qingyu's eyes froze at the sight.
If that kind of power hit him, it was hard to imagine how many parts of his body would remain intact.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After missing its target, the green wolf quickly adjusted its stance and charged at Chen Qingyu again.
After enlarging, the green wolf's speed decreased significantly, but its increased size perfectly compensated for this disadvantage.
As his qi and blood began to dwindle, Chen Qingyu's expression changed.
The strength gained from the bursting of his first organ was gradually diminishing, and as his qi and blood weakened, his speed would also slow down.
He didn't know how long the green wolf could last, but he was certain that he couldn't afford to prolong it.
Seeing the green wolf charging at him again, Chen Qingyu no longer hesitated. As he burst open his remaining three organs, a piece of locust leaf appeared in his hand.
This was a protective charm that the clan chief had prayed for from the Divine Tree before he left.
Upon seeing the locust leaf, the green wolf's blood-red pupils contracted slightly, as if it recognized the item.
It immediately sped up to kill Chen Qingyu before he could use the locust leaf.
However, Chen Qingyu quickly crushed the leaf, and a powerful surge of qi and blood energy entered his body.
His cultivation, which was originally at the early stage of the Innate Realm, advanced to the middle stage.
Seeing that it couldn't stop him, the green wolf, now devoid of rationality, charged forward.
With his increased strength, Chen Qingyu's aura surged and he did not retreat.
Both sides were now intent on a quick resolution.
This time, Chen Qingyu didn't use the Bright Moon like Frost technique. Although it was effective in hindering the green wolf's movements, it lacked sufficient power.
The Green Wolf did not flee, so there was no need to use this combat technique.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
Bodies and fists collided, producing piercing sounds in the pitch-black forest.
Man and beast abandoned all techniques and engaged in a physical brawl.
It was a battle between natural martial artists of the realm, simple yet unadorned.
However, the intense clash between the two caused waves of blood and qi to erupt, flattening the surrounding trees.
After a fierce and intense battle, both parties retreated.
Chen Qingyu's gaze remained calm, but his body bore numerous deep claw marks, revealing bones that looked severely injured.
However, the loss of his internal organs made the circulation of his Three Revolutions Mysterious Art particularly smooth.
The limited blood and qi began to circulate again, making his eyes brighter and his aura more intense.
Opposite Chen Qingyu, the green wolf who had used his innate ability was also in a terrible state. Its once smooth fur was now covered in blood, and its body bore several sunken fist marks, evidence of the damage inflicted by the Taizu Long Fist.
Inside the Green Wolf, the flow of blood and qi was no longer smooth.
As the clouds covered the moon, the Green Wolf's crimson pupils gradually lost their color, and reason regained control of its body.
Sensing its deteriorating condition, the Green Wolf's eyes flashed with ferocity, and it let out a loud howl.
Awooo!
Chen Qingyu's expression became serious as he prepared to strike again.
However, after howling, the green wolf did not charge forward, but instead turned around and ran into the dense forest.
As the Green Wolf fled, his previously enlarged body gradually shrank back to its original size. However, the injuries from the battle did not diminish, but rather worsened significantly.
When Chen Qingyu saw the Green Wolf return to its original form and try to escape, he naturally wouldn't let it go. He immediately gave chase. This time, he had to kill the Green Wolf to prevent future problems.
On the other side, the other green wolves who were preparing to continue their attack on Chen Tianyu and his group turned around and fled without looking back after hearing the howl of the Innate Realm Green Wolf.
This left Chen Tianyu and the others confused, but when they realized that Chen Qingyu was no longer with them, they quickly understood the reason.
At that moment, the blood and qi surge from their burst organs had already diminished, and they were no longer able to continue the chase. They could only hope that Chen Qingyu would return with a favorable result.
Seeing the wolf pack retreat, Chen Tianjing, both physically and mentally exhausted, slowly leaned against a nearby mound of earth and closed his eyes.
"Father, don't scare me."
Chen Qinghe, who had been hiding nearby, rushed over to Chen Tianjing's side.
As Chen Qinghe reached out to check his father's breathing, his face immediately turned pale.
It's over, no breath!
Seeing Chen Tianjing seemingly dead, Chen Qinghe was overcome with grief and cried out:
"Father, don't die!"
"I can't live without you!"
Waah waah waah!
...
"You little brat, I'm just resting, I'm not dead! Just wait until I get up and take care of you!"
Chen Tianjing, who had just closed his eyes to rest, shouted angrily before he could even catch his breath.
This startled Chen Qinghe:
"Father, you're still alive? But you weren't breathing!"
"My lungs are burst, where would the breath come from?"
Chen Tianjing said breathlessly.
Remembering the description in the Five Viscera Ascension Technique about the state after the organs burst, Chen Qinghe suddenly understood.
Without the healing of the Divine Tree, the other clan members would also be in extreme pain.
Although martial artists have robust bodies and can survive for a while after losing their organs, if too much time passes, they might actually perish.
"Qingmeng, hurry, let's get them out of here."
While the two of them were discussing whether to drag or carry the incapacitated clansmen, several lights appeared in the distance.
Sensing someone approaching, the clansmen struggled to their feet, their faces filled with alarm.
However, as the torches got closer, they realized that it was their own people.
Leading the group was Chen Xingzhen, who had deduced from the wolf's howl that something had changed, accompanied by many other clan members.
Seeing the situation at the scene, Chen Xingzhen did not hesitate. He immediately ordered some clansmen to take the injured, including Chen Tianyu, back to the clan to be treated by the Divine Tree.
After hearing the details of the incident, Chen Xingzhen led another group of clansmen in the direction where the wolf pack had retreated.
...
"Hmm?"
Chen Qingyu, who had been following the Green Wolf, hesitated slightly as he looked at the cave in front of him.
Just now, the Green Wolf had absorbed two of his blows without retaliating, which made Chen Qingyu feel that something was wrong.
However, after a brief hesitation, Chen Qingyu followed the wolf into the cave.
The cave was dark with no light, but as an innate realm martial artist, Chen Qingyu could see in the dark and was unaffected.
However, this cave did not seem to be dug out by the Green Wolves; it appeared to be naturally formed.
Following the trail of blood left by the fleeing Green Wolf, Chen Qingyu quickly reached the center of the cave and saw the Green Wolf.
What surprised Chen Qingyu was that in front of the Green Wolf, there was a large patch of plants with broad leaves and red flowers.
These red flowers varied in size, but without exception, each one emitted a faint glow, making them exceptionally bright in the pitch-black cave.
