Ninth In the World

Chapter 491: The Perfect Dao Law

Di Jiu felt the darkness in his surrounding space become thicker and thicker. He was still frantically circulating his Nomological Qi at the moment, which was his instinct for survival.

A faint warmth permeated his body as if allowing some more life-force aura in his surrounding darkness.

Shan Xiuqi looked at Di Jiu in pleasant surprise. She had managed to hunt an unknown low-level ferocious beast but could only drink a bit of blood, as she could not eat its meat.

She let Di Jiu drink the ferocious beast’s blood, not expecting him to drink it when he had passed out for a day.

It was a pity that they could only drink the blood of this ferocious beast once. She would have to hunt another one the next day.

When the ferocious beast’s blood reached her stomach, Shan Xiuqi felt her body grow hot all over as if a kind of force was distributed from her meridians and spread around her entire body. She was incomparably comfortable.

Shan Xiuqi still managed to fall asleep in the cold night.

When she woke up the next morning, the first thing she did was continue hunting ferocious beasts.

This place was considered the recess of the Major Crooked District, where formidable ferocious beasts could be seen at any moment. Shan Xiuqi did not dare stray far from the cave, so she only wandered in the vicinity.

Yesterday, she had wandered around for more than half a day to avoid formidable ferocious beasts before she had found a weaker ferocious beast. She planned to hunt for such a ferocious beast today as well. Although they were small, their blood was warm and could somewhat fill their stomachs. The kind of ferocious beast she wanted to hunt was similar to the size of a rabbit and had one horn.

Shan Xiuqi did not know what this ferocious beast was called. She only knew very well that there had not been any such ferocious beasts on Earth a long time ago. After the arrival of the Fairy Planet, some demon beasts had entered Earth, which was why all kinds of bizarre ferocious beasts had appeared.

They had faint gray fur and dark red horns and seemed to love eating nuts. Yesterday, Shan Xiuqi had caught one of them under the pine cone tree.

Therefore, she hid in between numerous pine cone trees today once she went out. She hid for only half an hour before she caught a single-horned beast just like she had predicted.

…

Shan Xiuqi brought Di Jiu along and escaped Honor Parade City, which had been turned over in the past few days.

The Shan Family was the strongest ancient martial arts family on Earth and dozens of its members had been killed in Honor Parade City. There were three Earth Tier experts among them, including the family’s assistant head instructor. Shan Beihe had also been killed in the city.

This created a sensation in the Shan Family and the ancient martial arts circle, as it was a pretty big matter.

Shan Qianren, a Heaven Tier expert of the Shan Family, arrived in Honor Parade City and started investigating this matter.

It was not hard to investigate Shan Xiuqi, who had run away from the Shan Family, as well as a young man called Di Jiu, who had killed the experts sent by the Shan Family to capture Shan Xiuqi.

Apart from that, Di Jiu had even visited the Shan family’s garrison in Honor Parade City alone and killed all the people there.

Di Jiu had also paid the price. After he had killed the entire Shan Family in Honor Parade City, he had been seriously injured and rescued by Shan Xiuqi.

Bam! Shan Qianren hit an entire table and turned it into scraps after he discovered the reason.

He had even dared to touch the Shan Family, which was simply reckless.

When would it be someone else’s turn to provoke the Shan Family since it was always the other way around?

Shan Qianren did not mind Di Jiu at all. His saber cut was Shan Youzhi’s fatal blow. Although he struck ruthlessly and accurately, it was clear that Di Jiu’s cultivation level was not too high. Otherwise, Shan Youzhi would not have seriously injured Di Jiu.

“Search it. Search it with all your effort and don’t miss any areas. Shan Xiuqi brought someone along with her and she couldn’t have run far. They are most likely hiding in the ferocious beast district in the Major Crooked District,” Shan Qianren said fiercely.

…

It had already been five days. Shan Xiuqi once again gave the one-horned beast’s blood to Di Jiu to drink. He certainly looked better these days. The dullness on his face had been reduced and his heartbeat was much stronger.

Shan Xiuqi believed that Di Jiu would likely regain his consciousness in a day or two.

Di Jiu felt his surrounding space gradually brighten up and his Nomological Qi Circulation become more perfect. Some kind of warmth filled his body and allowed him to feel a sort of boiling heat.

Crack! When his Nomological Qi Circulation reached a balance and he once again contained the Poison Dao pattern, a light sound could be heard from deep within Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea. Even though Di Jiu had not completely regained consciousness, the degenerated part of his Spiritual Sea had started to recover naturally.

Di Jiu had the Ninth Dao Law, so he would naturally grab this opportunity to accelerate his Nomological Qi Circulation.

Once he regained part of his consciousness, it seemed to return to Pearl City once again.

He returned to his carefree days, when he had led an easy life. He only thought of his own matters every day and lived the days he wanted.

Zhen Man, who had long been forgotten by him, once again appeared before his eyes.

Di Jiu frowned. That had been one of his most beautiful memories when he was young. He had started Dao cultivation and slowly forgotten her. Why did Zhen Man appear before him at this moment?

“Why are you here?” Di Jiu wanted to ask, but it seemed as if he could not speak. Thus, he did not say anything.

Shan Xiuqi glanced at Di Jiu with a frown and reached out to touch his forehead again.

Di Jiu felt Zhen Man approaching him and calling him from her heart with a kind of psychological desire, causing him to hold her in his embrace.

A cry from Zhen Man could be heard. Di Jiu could increasingly not control his intense desire, which he could not explain. He subconsciously ripped apart Zhen Man’s clothes.

Shan Xiuqi was somewhat stunned. She had not expected Di Jiu to do such a thing, but she very soon understood that this was certainly caused by the one-horned demon’s blood. That blood had also caused heat to spread all over her body. Plus, Di Jiu had not even fully regained his consciousness.

However, Di Jiu was much stronger than her. She had not eaten any good food these days and her body was somewhat frail.

The one-horned beast’s blood also made her whole body hot. At the moment, she was being embraced by Di Jiu and her clothes had been ripped apart. However, she did not resist at all.

When Di Jiu completely ripped apart her clothes, Shan Xiuqi stopped retaliating.

She was destined to be someone else’s chess piece in this lifetime. Why had she escaped? She hated that repulsive Shan Family, who clearly had enough strength but had sold out her mother and her.

However, she knew very well that the Shan Family was so capable that she would be taken back sooner or later. She would not be able to hide in this place for too long. Since she would be taken back for torture sooner or later, she might as well let Di Jiu do this.

Di Jiu had gone through hardships with her, after all, and was considered the man she was most familiar with.

Shan Xiuqi had no right to love or understand someone. In that case, why did she need to think so much? Why would the Shan Family capture her if her virginity was gone?

Shan Xiuqi felt damp heat and closed her eyes, allowing Di Jiu to do anything.

…

At that moment, her body felt light. Di Jiu also felt his understanding of the Heaven Earth Law become even clearer and his Nomological Qi Circulation become more perfect.

That was an interpretation of life, a process that could not be missed in life.

His Dao was not to cut off seven emotions and six desires, but a life pursuit like any other ordinary person’s.

After he came to this realization, Di Jiu’s Nomological Qi Circulation became increasingly clear and the Poison Dao pattern was then slowly stripped off at once.

The dullness on Di Jiu’s face gradually disappeared and his life-force became more and more vigorous.

When Shan Xiuqi woke up, she was lying in Di Jiu’s embrace. She quickly stood up and her clothes fell to the ground.

Shan Xiuqi trembled slightly and lowered her head to see Di Jiu, who had not completely regained consciousness. Her eyes were filled with a hint of sentiment.

She carefully helped Di Jiu up and then put on her clothes again. Regardless of whether they loved each other or had any kind of future, her life would be entangled with the life of the man in front of her.

After she tidied up her clothes, Shan Xiuqi decided to go out and search for the one-horned beast.

Di Jiu was getting better day by day. Even though yesterday had been a special situation, this had clearly happened due to the one-horned beast’s blood.

Both of them had drunk the blood, which had led to that kind of need. Since she had already taken Di Jiu by her side, she could not let Di Jiu starve.

…

The snow was getting denser and denser these days, and it was snowing all the time. Shan Xiuqi felt that the snow below her feet had already become a foot deep. Even if Di Jiu did not regain consciousness, the two of them could not stay there any longer.

Before she reached that pine cone tree, Shan Xiuqi could feel that she was becoming soft all over. She immediately supported herself against the pine cone tree, catching a few breaths.

When she was ready to leave, a few figures appeared before her eyes, making her heart sink instantly.

Two figures were walking towards her and discovered her the moment she saw them.

They were definitely from the Shan Family. Shan Xiuqi escaped in another direction without thinking.
