Chapter 146: Breakthrough, Qin Chuan Arrives
In the bamboo forest.
Qin Chuan focused all his energy on breaking through the second class of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique.
A few seconds ago,
Qin Chuan crushed three supreme-grade spirit stones, and a large amount of spiritual energy instantly gushed into his body. His Golden Core absorbed it.
Gradually, the second ring on the surface of his Golden Core became more and more evident.
Qin Chuan circulated his cultivation technique with all his might to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy.
“Just a little, just a little bit more…”
“Calm down, stay calm…”
The second ring on his Golden Core got clearer and clearer, so Qin Chuan tried his best to steady his mind. If he were to get distracted, he would be done for.
After some time, the second ring finally appeared. Qin Chuan let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
After reaching the second class of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique, power continued to spread throughout his entire body.
Qin Chuan clenched his fist tightly as a terrifying energy fluctuation rippled outwards, causing the space around him to distort.
This was the space within the sect. If he were in the real world, it would not be as simple as distorting space.
“My combat ability has increased by five times!”
Qin Chuan made a rough estimate of his current strength.
“As expected of a stage five cultivation technique. Breaking through one level has increased by overall capabilities by so much. If I were to cultivate it to the maximum level, wouldn’t it be easy for me to kill someone above my level and restore my glory?”
At this moment, Qin Chuan looked as if he were contemplating something.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[Immortal Cultivator Number 773, Wang Jiajun, is in danger, Health Points: dropped by 50%.]
When Qin Chuan heard this, his expression changed.
When he was trying to break through to the second class of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique, he did sense the restriction on Wang Jiajun getting triggered.
However, he was at an important moment in his own cultivation, so he put Wang Jiajun’s matter aside.
Now that the system had issued an alarm, Qin Chuan rushed to the location recorded on the cultivation register.
…
In a castle-like hotel on the outskirts of Beichuan.
The wide plaza in front of the gate had long changed beyond recognition. There were large and small pits everywhere. The surrounding sculptures were scattered all over the ground.
In the smoke and dust, three figures flickered like a film effect. It was difficult to capture their movements with the naked eye.
Accompanied by a loud sound of flesh colliding, three figures were sent flying. They did not stop when they landed on the ground, leaving a mark the size of a canal.
At this moment, there was a momentary silence.
Right now, Wang Jiajun’s clothes were torn, and his body was covered in wounds. Not a single inch of skin was intact.
Almost all his ribs were broken, and there were three bloody fist-sized holes on his abdomen. A claw mark extended from his shoulder to his abdomen, and there were even more claw marks on his back. They crisscrossed, mangling his flesh. The sight of him was terrifying.
Wang Jiajun stood up with great difficulty. His consciousness was beginning to fade, and his strength and life essence were being drained away.
However, he still clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were still filled with an intense fighting spirit. He did not give up at all.
On the opposite side, Lybert and Hall’s condition was similarly not good.
They had both lost an arm, and their bodies were also covered in injuries.
Lena, who was watching from the door, had a calm expression on her face. Her eyes were dark—as if she was thinking about something.
She had thought that Lybert and Hall would have an overwhelming victory if they fought together.
They were almost perfectly genetically modified people.
In terms of combat strength, they were equivalent to a Connate martial artist.
However, she did not expect them to be so evenly matched. They were even a little miserable, even with two against one.
Lybert and Hall should be able to heal themselves within a short period of time, even if their bones are broken. But their healing speed has slowed down significantly. Their instances of self-healing had probably reached the limits of what the cells could during their exchange of blows earlier…
Who is this man?
Lena gritted her teeth and gradually became irritated.
“But this battle is about to end.”
She saw Wang Jiajun’s body swaying from side to side. Lena threw all her doubts to the back of her mind.
Secrets would vanish with death. This man had to die in front of her.
“Lybert and Hall, kill him,” Lena ordered.
Lybert and Hall let out animalistic snarls as their beasts’ blood began to boil. For a time, they ignored all the pain. At the same time, their desire for destruction reached its peak.
They initiated the final charge towards Wang Jiajun.
In order to adapt to the sudden increase in speed, they bent low like wild beasts and ran on the ground with their hands like front limbs.
Because they had lost an arm each, they couldn’t stabilize their upper bodies. But it was because of this that their charge was mad and ferocity.
Lybert was slightly faster by about two body lengths.
Wang Jiajun clenched his fists tightly and secretly circulated his remaining True Qi, gathering it in his arms.
In the blink of an eye, Lybert had already arrived before him.
Lybert leaped high into the air. His five fingers spread out like sharp claws. He grinned as he prepared to pounce and bite.
Wang Jiajun looked determined. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and placed them on both sides of his abdomen. The muscles were tense, and his knees were slightly bent as he gathered his strength.
“Die!” Lybert roared as he flew toward Wang Jiajun.
Wang Jiajun’s gaze was fixed on the top, but his expression remained calm.
When they were less than two meters away from each other, Wang Jiajun released the power gathered on his knees.
Ka—
With the sound of bones breaking, Wang Jiajun shot into the sky like a cannonball.
Gaia—
A Rising Dragon Fist struck Lybert’s chest in the blink of an eye. The sound of air being torn apart sounded like a dragon’s cry.
This was Wang Jiajun’s last bit of strength. Although it wasn’t as strong as when he was at full strength, it carried his last bits of determination.
Either one of them would die with this attack, so to a certain extent, the power of this punch was more lethal than before.
The moment it hit Lybert’s chest, True Qi broke through his body and swept out like a storm.
Under the effect of True Qi, Lybert’s heart burst like a balloon.
No matter how perfectly he was modified, he was still a living creature with vital organs. Without a heart, he would die.
However, just as Lybert was about to die, his sharp claws stabbed deeply into Wang Jiajun’s back.
Ugh…
Wang Jiajun’s groaned. He used his last bits of willpower to suppress the flow of blood.
Then, the two of them landed heavily on the ground.
Lybert was like a pile of mud. He lost consciousness and died.
Wang Jiajun almost lost consciousness. He was slipping away rapidly.
His body had already collapsed. This was the final feedback his will gave to his brain.
After Hall saw his companion die a horrible death, the bonds of kinship within his genes began to wail. His instincts were replaced by anger.
He did not stop. The rhinoceros horn on his forehead suddenly doubled in size as he charged towards Wang Jiajun.
Wang Jiajun struggled to straighten his body. Relying on his strong willpower, he stood up shakily.
Bang bang bang!
Hall ran at top speed, and the ground cracked from his gait.
The distance between them grew smaller.
When he was one meter away from Wang Jiajun, a strong gust of wind blew towards him.
He got into a fighting posture with difficulty.
Hall lowered his head. His sharp horn was about to pierce through Wang Jiajun.
But, at this moment.
The clear sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. The entire sky rumbled as if the sky was collapsing.
There was a figure streaked across the sky. He was armored in storms and lightning and soared above the clouds.
The next moment, he appeared above the hotel.
Time seemed to have stopped—everyone’s movements were frozen.
