Chapter 407 Escape from Death

He roughly pushed away the mercenary who was supporting him. Mu She Shuang Zhang's tiger's mouth was already fierce, and blood almost soaked his sleeves. His face had an almost crazed ferocity. The strength that Jing Chen had shown earlier had already made this captain, who had experienced many storms, feel a sense of fear.

The small edit not only boasts incredibly fast stereo sound, but also possesses mysterious and powerful fighting techniques. This kind of enemy... is simply everyone's nightmare. If there were a way to undo mistakes, Mu She would rather never provoke this mysterious young man again.

What he didn't know was that the feud between Jing Chen and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had already begun when the members of the group had designs on Xuan Yuan Yi and Cai Die upon their arrival in Qingshan Town. Everything that happened afterward only intensified that hatred.

Of course, there's no going back in life, so Mu She's fear naturally transformed into a frenzied killing intent. Only by killing Jing Chen could he truly feel at ease. At this moment, Mu She even abandoned the treasures Jing Chen was carrying.

"Kill him! He's already exhausted and his life is over!" Mu She shouted fiercely.

Upon hearing the leader's order, the mercenaries who had been hesitant had no choice but to grip their weapons tightly and cautiously approach Jing Chen.

"Today, you must die!" Mu She snarled, staring intently at the boy standing on the edge of the cliff.

"I'm sorry, I can't grant you that wish."

Looking up at the Mu Snake, which was contorted in a ferocious manner, Jing Chen's pale face flushed red. His body trembled slightly, and a pair of black and white wings, each about a meter long, suddenly shot out from his back.

Everyone was once again shocked when they saw the black and white wings on Jing Chen's back.

Jing Chen flapped his wings and leaped into the abyss. After a few rapid flaps of his wings, he soared upwards amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd.

"Didn't you say I couldn't escape today? Well, I'll show you how! I'll remember this avenge of our attack and will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

The boy's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, while Leng Xiaosheng, with his faint aura, continued to hover in mid-air.

······

After crossing the abyss that was more than ten meters deep, Jing Chen hadn't even had time to land when a sudden, sharp pain shot through his body. The black and white wings on his back suddenly retracted, and his entire body fell vertically in a straight line. Luckily, he crashed into a soft patch of grass.

His body, already at its limit, was further aggravated by the excruciating pain in his heart, causing Jing Chen to lose consciousness completely.

After Jing Chen fell unconscious, Yao Lao staggered out of the ring. Looking at the disheveled Jing Chen, he shook his head helplessly. He lifted Jing Chen up with both hands and then slowly walked towards the Monster Mountain Range.

"What an audacious little brat! With the strength of an eight-star Dou Zhe, he forcibly used a Di-rank Dou Technique with less than half of his Dou Qi..."

······

In the deep darkness of sleep, Jing Chen vaguely felt as if his entire body was immersed in cool liquid. Streams of warm and peaceful energy seeped into his body through countless pores, flowing quietly within him. Wherever the energy passed, his slightly damaged meridians, which had been damaged by the overuse of battle qi and the invasion of the curse, were slowly repaired.

After the meridians and muscles returned to normal, the warm energy flowing in the body followed the circulation of the meridians and finally poured into the battle qi vortex located in the school uniform area.

With the sudden addition of this new force, the originally languidly spinning vortex suddenly accelerated in speed, as if injected with high-speed horsepower.

As the cyclone's rotation speed increases, the energy flowing in the meridians is drawn in as if by some force, rushing rapidly into the cyclone.

After the cyclone had absorbed all the energy in the meridians, it did not stop its almost greedy suction. After spinning rapidly for a few more times, an even more ferocious suction force emanated from it.

Instantly, more and more warm energy was drawn into the body from the mysterious liquid outside the body, and then refined through the meridians and poured into the gradually expanding battle qi vortex.

This endless absorption continued for an unknown amount of time while Jing Chen was unconscious. He could only vaguely sense that as the energy flowing in from the outside world gradually decreased until it finally disappeared completely, he finally broke through the darkness of the ritual and opened his eyes hazily.

Before my eyes was a spacious cave, with moonstones hanging around its walls for lighting. I moved my numb body slightly, and the sound of rushing water filled the air.

Looking down, Jing Chen realized he was in a small stone pit filled with clear water. However, judging from the faint green tinge remaining in the water, it was no ordinary water.

Cupping the liquid in his hands and gently smelling it, Jing Chen exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually medicine?"

"It is indeed a potion. It took me at least three or four days to prepare this small pool of restorative elixir for you." An aged voice came from outside the cave, and the illusory figure of the old medicine master floated up like a ghost.

Arriving at the stone pit, the old doctor looked Jing Chen up and down, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He smiled and said, "I originally thought you would need at least half a month to recover, but I didn't expect that in just five days, you have not only recovered but also turned misfortune into blessing, touching the threshold of a nine-star Dou Zhe. Judging from your current state, perhaps after a few more days of cultivation, you should be able to enter the nine-star Dou Zhe level."

"Holy crap, I've been unconscious for five days?" Upon hearing this, Jing Chen opened his eyes wide and said in astonishment.

"Hmm." Nodding, Yao Lao glanced at him, frowned, and scolded, "You rascal, you could have easily escaped with your wings, but you insisted on showing off and forcibly used a low-rank combat skill. If I hadn't helped you activate your wings, you probably wouldn't even have had the strength to escape!"

With an awkward laugh, Jing Chen said, "Sigh, I originally thought that according to my plan, Mu She would be wary of my strength and leave. I didn't expect that I would still take the risk."

"However, the move you used, 'Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens,' is no ordinary fighting technique, is it?" Yao Lao asked.

Jing Chen nodded: "'Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens' is a move I created myself when I was still in the Dou Ling stage. Its level is barely considered low-level Xuan rank. When used with a different kind of fire, it should be able to touch the level of a Di rank Dou Technique."

The old apothecary smiled and shook his head. Jing Chen's narrative: "We should be inside the Monster Mountain Range now, right?"

"Yes, this is a place I carefully selected. I've already cleared out all the high-level magical beasts in the vicinity. You can move around within a few hundred meters of the house, but you still need to be careful of any magical beasts that randomly wander in. Here, anything could easily kill you in your current state with a single slap." The old apothecary nodded and reminded him.
