Chapter 143: Escape

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As Xu Ning jumped into the river, the large earthen fist flew towards Xu Ning’s head.

At the same time, Xu Ning felt a terrifying aura locking onto him.

Xu Ning hugged Xie Wenyue tightly and landed on the surface of the river.

He pumped his true qi, stepped on the river surface, and ran towards the shore on the opposite side.

“Can you run?”

Chen Xiaoyi took a few steps and followed him to the river.

“Huh?!”

Just like Xu Ning, the moment his feet touched the river surface, Chen Xiaoyi suddenly felt a huge sense of danger.

Several terrifying auras swept past his body.

Chen Xiaoyi immediately jumped out of the river.

‘There are very terrifying creatures under this river, and there are several of them, each of them stronger than me!’

Chen Xiaoyi subconsciously moved away from the river, afraid that the terrifying creatures in the river would jump out.

He was not their opponent to begin with, and now that he was injured, the consequences would be disastrous.

“Senior Brother Chen, why aren’t you chasing after them?”

Bao Ruyuan leaned over.

“There are several terrifying creatures under the river, I am no match for them.”

Chen Xiaoyi answered truthfully.

“But Xu Ning…”

Bao Ruyuan looked at the river.

Xu Ning had traveled two-thirds of the distance and was about to arrive ashore.

“He’s dead for sure, it’s just a shame about that weapon…”

As soon as Chen Xiaoyi finished speaking, the calm river surface suddenly stirred.

A huge, hideous tail covered in scales emerged from the river, exuding a shocking aura as it swept towards Xu Ning.

There were dense light blue lines on the hideous tail. It waved, aiming to hit Xu Ning’s forehead.

‘Sure enough, a terrifying creature under the river is attacking me!’

Xu Ning felt the strong gust of wind coming, and there was only the shadow of a giant tail in his eyes.

The speed of the giant tail was so fast that it was difficult for Xu Ning to dodge. Even if he wanted to dodge, his movements would slow down, which could lead to more terrifying creatures attacking him.

Xu Ning shouted in a low voice, and the four qi currents in his body trembled to the extreme. His true qi was being squeezed out without any care about the consequences. With that, his speed increased yet again.

Bang!

The giant tail hit Xu Ning.

But the moment it hit, a spherical membrane condensed around Xu Ning again, wrapping around Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

After the giant tail attack, the spherical membrane broke again, but Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue avoided the deadly attack.

Mi Xingye’s protective treasure saved Xu Ning’s life again.

‘Two-thirds of the way!’

Xu Ning would be able to go ashore after walking another third of the distance.

‘His protective treasure can be activated again?’

In the distance, Chen Xiaoyi, who thought that Xu Ning would be buried in the river, had a terrible look on his face.

Bao Ruyuan’s smile also turned cold.

He hadn’t realized why Chen Xiaoyi would say that Xu Ning was definitely going to die. It was not until the terrifying giant tail appeared that he realized that there were terrifying creatures at the bottom of the river that would even make a martial artist in the common seal realm so afraid.

However, just when he felt that Xu Ning was about to be smashed by the giant tail, a protective membrane appeared on Xu Ning’s body again, allowing him to escape.

“He’s just an in-name disciple. Is Mi Xingye really that kind?”

A protective treasure was extremely complicated to make, and it was already rare for it to be able to withstand a blow from a common seal realm martial artist.

Bao Ruyuan thought of his previous protective treasure.

It was given to him by his master, Elder Gujuan, and it could ensure his safety when facing opponents below the common seal realm.

But it was far lower in quality when compared to Xu Ning’s protective treasure.

Bao Ruyuan stared at Xu Ning, hoping that he would be swallowed by the creatures under the river.

The creatures were getting closer and closer to Xu Ning.

At this time, under the river, the giant tail surfaced again.

And this time, there were three giant tails!

Three giant tails stirred the river and smashed towards Xu Ning.

Xu Ning didn’t know if the protective membrane could block the impact of the three giant tails.

“Just a few steps away!”

Xu Ning could almost touch the shore.

But the three giant tails were already above his head.

The spherical membrane appeared again, and the three giant tails hit the spherical membrane.

Kacha!

The spherical membrane shattered, but this time, it only lasted for a moment.

“Not good!”

The moment the spherical membrane shattered, warning signs were blaring in Xu Ning’s head.

The damage of the three giant tails caused had exceeded the limit of the membrane.

Xu Ning felt a huge force coming towards him. It was a water-infused attack!

Poof!

Xu Ning first felt a huge force deforming his body, then his internal organs were displaced.

Xu Ning vomited blood, his eyes bloodshot, his body in unbearable pain.

He forced himself not to lose consciousness.

With that impact, Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue’s bodies were thrown to the opposite shore.

“I escaped…”

Xu Ning slowly got up, his mouth full of blood. He had a smile on his face.

Although the spherical membrane did not block all the damage, most of them were blocked, so Xu Ning only suffered a small portion of the total damage.

After being swept by the giant tails, Xu Ning took advantage of the momentum and threw himself onto the shore.

The giant tail disappeared into the river, leaving behind a rippling water surface, indicating that the terrifying creatures under the river were still lurking.

“Fortunately, the creatures under the river did not come out, otherwise I would have been swallowed by them before I could even cross the river.”

Xu Ning picked up Xie Wenyue again, then looked at Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan.

Looking at them, Xu Ning squeezed out a murderous expression before making a throat-slitting gesture.

After escaping death, he would definitely have to take revenge for this debt in the future.

Afterwards, Xu Ning endured the severe pain in his body and walked more inland towards the wilderness of bones on the other side.

“This Xu Ning!”

Chen Xiaoyi gritted his teeth.

“Senior Brother Chen, chase him!”

Bao Ruyuan didn’t expect that Xu Ning’s protective treasure could be activated three times.

“If Xu Ning can avoid the attack of the creatures at the bottom of the river, you can definitely do the same!”

Bao Ruyuan quickly urged.

If he couldn’t deal with Xu Ning before leaving the mystic realm, he would be in big trouble.

“Chase, how?!”

Chen Xiaoyi almost roared. “Xu Ning has a protective treasure, but I don’t! Moreover, I am seriously injured by that thunder attribute dao weapon. Once I enter the river, the creatures at the bottom of the river will definitely be more aggressive. In my current state, I might just be torn apart!”

Chen Xiaoyi was not being unreasonable. The thunder attribute dao weapon had pierced through his fist, chest, and shoulder, and his injuries still showed no signs of healing.

After being yelled at by Chen Xiaoyi, Bao Ruyuan realized he had been too hasty.

“Brother Chen, I was too rude.”

Bao Ruyuan quickly said.

When Chen Xiaoyi heard this, he calmed down. “Let’s find a place to recuperate first. Once my injuries are healed, it won’t be difficult for me to find them.”

“But Senior Brother Chen, will they find the exit of the mystic realm and leave in advance?”

Bao Ruyuan said worriedly.

“The possibility is not high, as this mystic realm is too huge and complicated. Finding the exit in such a large place is too difficult. Even for me, it will take more than a month to find the exit, let alone the two of them.”

Chen Xiaoyi’s words made Bao Ruyuan feel relieved. “Moreover, in their current state, it is uncertain whether they can survive in this mystic realm.”

“True.”

Bao Ruyuan nodded.

“Go.”

Chen Xiaoyi disappeared into the wilderness of bones with Bao Ruyuan.

On the other side, Xu Ning led Xie Wenyue also went through the wilderness of bones.

After several hours, the two finally walked out of the wilderness of bones and saw a dense mountain forest.

The dense forest was full of branches and leaves, but the branches and leaves were all pitch black. There was no sound of wind in the forest, making it seem particularly eerie and quiet.

Combined with the gray sky, it gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The dense forest in the mountains was like a giant beast that wanted to swallow everyone who walked in.

‘I should go in first.’

Compared to the dark forest in front of him, Xu Ning felt that the wilderness of bones behind him was more terrifying.

No need to mention the white bones, even the strange river was terrifying enough.

‘The mystic realm is full of dangers, and the people’s hearts are unpredictable.’

Xie Wenyue was still unconscious, so Xu Ning carried her into the silent forest.

‘There doesn’t seem to be any dangerous creatures in this dense forest.’

Xu Ning fumbled around for a while before finding a cave.

After entering, Xu Ning put Xie Wenyue aside.

‘I’ll heal my injuries first, then I’ll go find some lucky opportunities for myself. Once my strength improves, I’ll find an opportunity to get rid of them two.’

Xu Ning was determined to take revenge.

Although his enemies were strong, Xu Ning was not afraid at all.

Xu Ning opened a medicine bag from his waist, took out a few pills and swallowed them.

Although the Flame Breath Bone Sutra was already healing his injuries, Xu Ning still needed to take some practical pill medicine to heal his injuries.

After swallowing the pill medicine, Xu Ning stuffed the rest of his pill medicine into Xie Wenyue’s mouth.

Afterwards, he fumbled around Xie Wenyue’s waist before finding another medicine bag.

Xu Ning selected a healing pill that he recognized from the bag. Then, he fed Xie Wenyue a few more. For the time being, he would save the rest and wait for Xie Wenyue to digest the medicine.

“Phew…”

After doing all of this, Xu Ning felt slightly relieved.

He reached out his palm and pressed it against Xie Wenyue’s back. Soon after, he activated a wave of soft true qi to enter Xie Wenyue’s body.

‘Her injuries are serious, her meridians are damaged, and her strength has fallen to the spirit realm.’

Xu Ning frowned. He had just realized the difficult situation Wenyue was in.

‘The pill she took previously has too great of a side effect. Moreover, her martial arts foundation is also damaged. It is almost impossible for her to return to the void realm fifth stage in the future.’

Xu Ning felt a little regretful.

Xu Ning only wanted to find the exit of the mystic realm and send Xie Wenyue out before continuing to explore the mystic realm.

But Xu Ning knew very well that it would not be easy to find the exit.

After confirming that Xie Wenyue’s life was not in danger for the time being, Xu Ning leaned against the wall and sat cross-legged, feeling the medicinal effects of the pill medicine and the Flame Breath Bone Sutra slowly healing his body.

Xu Ning estimated that it would take at least half a month for his body to fully recover.

There was no day and night outside the cave. Time slowly passed in the darkness.

Ten days later, Xie Wenyue woke up.

“I didn’t die?”

Xie Wenyue regained consciousness and was a little confused.

Feeling her weak body, she opened her eyes and sat up with difficulty.

She then saw Xu Ning leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

“Sister Xie, you’re awake.”

Xu Ning felt her movement and opened his eyes.

“We’re still alive?”

Xie Wenyue seemed to be in disbelief.

A look of joy appeared on her pale face.

“How did we escape?”

Xie Wenyue asked.

Xu Ning explained what had happened after Xie Wenyue fainted.

After Xie Wenyue heard this, she looked at Xu Ning and opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say anything in the end.

Xu Ning had saved her more than once, and it would be difficult to repay the favor she owed him.

Xie Wenyue turned her head and saw her longbow.

“Junior Brother Xu, I will give you this dao weapon.”

Xie Wenyue was being very sincere.

“Senior Sister, this is yours, so it’s not appropriate for me to accept it. Moreover, this is a thunder attribute dao weapon. It’s useless for me to take it.”

Xu Ning refused.

“But it’s useless to me as well.”

After Xie Wenyue woke up, she knew of her current state.

After taking the Desperation Pill, it was difficult for her to return to her peak.

“No, Senior Sister Xie.” Xu Ning said, “After you leave the mystic realm, you can use this dao weapon to exchange for some pill medicine to repair your martial arts foundation. After swallowing it, you might even improve further than your previous self. Even if you can’t return to your former realm, it’s not bad if you can return to the void realm.”

After hearing Xu Ning’s words, Xie Wenyue felt more respect for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was courageous and ruthless. He was decisive and daring when fighting against enemies, but he still had his own principles when doing things.

“Senior Sister, in two days, when my injuries are completely healed, I will bring you to an exit and send you out.”

Xu Ning said.

Xu Ning’s injuries had already recovered by 80%. He would fully recover in two days—this was faster than Xu Ning had expected.

After Xie Wenyue heard this, she wanted to say that she wished to no longer trouble Xu Ning, but after hearing Xu Ning’s gentle and firm words, she finally nodded.

Two days went by.

Xie Wenyue had taken a lot of pill medicine during this period, which resulted in her gaining her mobility back.

As for Xu Ning, his injuries had completely recovered.

“Sister Xie.”

Xu Ning said, “We should go out and explore more. Let’s try to find the exit as soon as possible.”

Xu Ning was a little worried that after Chen Xiaoyi recovered, they would come after him again.

“Okay.”

Xie Wenyue now completely trusted Xu Ning..
