Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

Li Fan finally climbed up.

His fingers dug into the crevice of the last rock, and with all his might, he pulled himself up.

"Huff... huff..."

He lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Sweat soaked the rocks beneath them.

"arrive?"

A shadow fell over him.

Li Fan raised his head.

Even when he activated his true demonic form, he wasn't as big as this guy in front of him.

Kuafu sat there.

His skin was bronze.

A head of weeds.

"They climbed quite slowly."

Kuafu's voice made Li Fan's ears ring.

"I took a nap, ate a meal, and even caught two dragons as snacks before you came up here."

He extended a finger and gently poked Li Fan.

"Too weak."

"His demonic aura is utterly repulsive."

"Get out of here."

Kuafu tightened his fingers slightly.

Li Fan was like a ball, pushed around on the ground several times and almost rolled off the cliff.

"Hello!"

Li Fan grabbed onto a tree on the edge of the cliff to steady himself.

He stood up and dusted himself off.

Instead of getting angry, she laughed.

"Is this how you treat guests?"

"guest?"

Kuafu snorted coldly.

"The devil is not a guest."

"The devil only destroys and plunders."

"A guy like you doesn't deserve to stand on my mountain."

"destroy?"

Li Fan stared directly into Kuafu's enormous eyes.

"I destroy in order to survive."

"The looting is for the purpose of going home."

"You're saying I'm not good enough?"

"When you chased the sun back then, how many crops did you trample? How many rivers did you drink dry?"

"What were you doing that for?"

Kuafu was stunned for a moment.

He immediately flew into a rage.

"presumptuous!"

"I did it for my people and for the light!"

"You little devil, you dare to compare yourself to me?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Li Fan straightened his back.

"Did you succeed in winning her over?"

"You died on the way."

"But I can catch up with her."

"My sun is right in front of me."

Kuafu fell silent.

He stared at Li Fan.

"it is good."

"She's quite quick-witted."

"Then let me see if your legs are as hard as your mouth."

Kuafu stood up and pointed into the distance.

It was a boundless wasteland.

Zhu Ri Yuan.

The sun was hanging on the horizon, seemingly within reach yet also seemingly out of reach.

"Do you see that sun?"

Kuafu said.

"Run from here to where the sun sets."

"That's Yu Yuan."

There is only one rule.

"You are not allowed to use demonic energy."

"No flying allowed."

"I ran there purely by physical strength."

"If you can get there before sunset."

"I will give you my strength."

"If not..."

Kuafu grinned.

"Then leave it as fertilizer for my peach grove."

Li Fan glanced at the sun.

He glanced again at his legs, which were now a bloody mess.

"make a deal."

…………

Game start.

Kuafu could take a giant stride that covered dozens of miles in a single step.

They vanished in an instant, kicking up clouds of dust.

Li Fan stood on the starting line.

Take a deep breath.

The moment the demonic energy was sealed, excruciating pain surged like a tidal wave.

Without the suppression of demonic energy, his body was like a broken rag.

Every movement makes my whole body feel like it's falling apart.

"Walk."

Li Fan gritted his teeth and took the first step.

very slow.

But he didn't stop.

The road to Zhuriyuan was not a smooth one.

This is one of the most treacherous places in the mountain and sea region.

The first ten miles are like a mountain of knives.

The ground was covered with sharp rocks.

Li Fan's shoes wore out after running for a short time.

The soles of my feet were cut open and bleeding profusely.

"Does it hurt?"

Kuafu's voice echoed from the sky.

He didn't run far; he watched from the clouds.

"What's a little pain?"

Li Fan did not look up.

"I'd rather watch my family die in front of me."

"This is simply a pleasure."

He sped up.

They ran through mountains of knives.

There wasn't a single good piece of flesh left on the soles of my feet.

Next came the sea of ​​fire.

The ground cracked.

The temperature here is extremely high; an ordinary cultivator would be instantly baked dry upon entering.

Li Fan cannot use demonic energy to protect himself.

The only way is to tough it out with your own body.

His skin began to crack.

Are you thirsty?

Kuafu asked.

"It was here that I drank the Yellow River and the Wei River dry."

"thirsty."

Li Fan licked his chapped lips.

"But I wasn't drinking water."

"It is hatred."

"Hate for the Lord God is hate for one's own powerlessness."

"This hatred is more powerful than water to quench thirst."

He rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

The blood underfoot evaporated instantly, emitting a burnt smell.

But he ran even faster.

It's like a burning fireball.

Kuafu looked at the small figure.

His eyes shifted from disdain to surprise.

"This kid..."

"He's a madman."

They ran through the sea of ​​fire.

Ahead lay a stretch of quicksand.

This quicksand has a suction effect; once you get stuck, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Li Fan stepped into empty air.

Half of his body sank in.

"Give up."

Kuafu sighed.

"The sand here is so fine that even a feather cannot float."

"You can't get out without divine power."

Li Fan remained silent.

He gripped the sand with both hands, his fingernails digging into the sand and breaking off.

But he kept trying.

"We can't stop."

"Stopping means death."

"I want to go home."

"Mom is still waiting for me."

"Braised pork..."

Li Fan's eyes were fixed on the sun.

The sun is slowly setting.

"Aaaaaaah!"

He let out a beast-like roar.

All the muscles in the body were stretched to the limit, causing blood vessels to burst.

He actually managed to pull his body out of the quicksand using sheer brute force.

Then keep running.

Kuafu fell silent.

He looked at the man covered in blood, who resembled a vengeful ghost.

Suddenly I realized...

This person is even more like Kuafu than he was back then.

…………

Time passed little by little.

The sun is about to set.

Yu Yuan is right in front of us.

It was an abyss into which the sun was slowly sinking.

Li Fan is still running.

But he had lost all feeling in his legs.

The bones are exposed.

The muscles are rotten.

He wasn't running.

He was dragging his two useless legs as he moved.

Every step he took left a trail of blood on the ground.

"Thump."

He fell down.

He could never stand up again.

There are still 100 meters to go to the finish line.

One hundred meters.

It usually only takes a few seconds.

Now it seems as distant as an insurmountable chasm.

"it's over."

Kuafu landed at the finish line.

Looking at Li Fan lying on the ground.

You lost.

The sun is about to set.

Li Fan raised his head.

His face was covered in blood and mud.

But those eyes were still frighteningly bright.

"not yet…...…"

He stretched out his hand.

Hold it firmly to the ground.

Climb forward.

If your nails are worn down, use your finger bones.

Is it worth it?

Kuafu asked.

"For a home you might never be able to return to?"

"For a few comrades who are already dead?"

"You've made yourself look like this?"

Li Fan did not answer.

He's still climbing.

His consciousness was already blurred.

But he had only one thought in his mind.

forward.

Even if it means crawling, we must reach the finish line.

"As long as we keep walking..."

Li Fan's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"There's no going back."

Kuafu was stunned.

He looked at the blood-soaked figure writhing on the ground.

It's like seeing myself millions of years ago.

That big, dumb guy who knew it was impossible but still did it anyway.

The dreamer who fell on the road.

"Ha ha….....…"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Kuafu suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter shook the entire Sun Chasing Plain.

"good!"

"What a wonderful thing to do, 'go back'!"

"I, Kuafu, have never submitted to anyone in my life."

"You're one of them!"

Just then.

Li Fan's fingers.

Finally, I touched the line that represents the finish line.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared just below the horizon.

"We made it."

Li Fan forced an ugly smile.

Then she completely lost consciousness.
