When Long Chen turned around, he was scared out of his wits. The guy who was chasing him with bloodshot eyes was no more than 20 meters away from him. If this continued, he would probably die in less than 15 minutes.
"I have so many things to do, and I'm going to die in this place?"
He was extremely unwilling. He roared repeatedly and tried his best to escape. However, the guy was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Long Chen had already smelled him.
The smell of a wolf.
"F * ck you. I can't fight a beast like you!"
The blood in his heart roiled. He knew that if he continued like this, then his opponent would definitely be able to pierce through his back with a single strike. So, at the last moment, he suddenly turned around and shouted explosively. Starlight suddenly erupted from his body, and he was like a meteor that crashed down from the sky and blasted towards his opponent!
"Eat my Meteor Fist!
Go to hell! "
With a loud bang, the Astral Demon Wolf let out an angry roar. He clenched his claws and struck out. His huge power instantly broke through Long Chen's Meteor Fist and hit Long Chen's body. Long Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and fell to the ground.
"Even the Meteor Fist can't stop him!"
That attack just now had shaken Long Chen's entire body to the point that his blood and Qi were in turmoil. He instantly lost half of his combat power. At this moment, the Astral Demon Wolf let out another angry roar and slashed its claws at Long Chen's head. If it hit, Long Chen's head would be crushed!
Looking at the huge momentum of the attack, this was the most powerful opponent that Long Chen had encountered so far. He was almost defenseless in front of him. The cold light on top of his head gradually approached. Long Chen suddenly laughed. He clenched his fists tightly and roared crazily, "You want to kill me? It's not that easy!"
He suddenly rose up and used all his strength again. He used all the power and True Qi of the Astral Battle Body. He was like a meteor that faced death calmly and rushed toward the Astral Demon Wolf!
The feeling of having his life in his hands and being able to throw it away at any time stimulated all of his madness and violence!
Although he was injured, it was true that the attack he had just unleashed was the most powerful attack he had ever unleashed. The Meteor Fist had almost exhausted all of his True Qi.
"Idiot, why are you so desperate!"
At this time, a sobbing voice sounded from behind Long Chen. His vision blurred, and suddenly a misty light appeared in front of him. In that instant, Long Chen suddenly felt like he was dreaming.
In front of him, the Lingxi Sword floated, and at this time, a large amount of white mist surged out of the Lingxi Sword, immediately blurring Long Chen's vision. A figure condensed in the mist of the Lingxi Sword, and when Long Chen saw her back, two words appeared in his mind.
"Fairy … …"
The woman in the mist had a head of enchanting black hair. Her temples were exposed by the wind, and her skin was as smooth as warm jade. She wore a light blue dress, and her waist was not small. She was charming without bones, and extremely beautiful. She was so beautiful, so beautiful that she didn't eat the food of the mortal world.
Although he only saw her back, he was sure that she must be very beautiful.
The injuries he suffered before were actually much more serious than he imagined. However, he was putting on a brave front and didn't want to die here, so he didn't feel that it was too serious. Now that Lingxi suddenly came out of the sword, Long Chen suddenly felt very peaceful.
Then, an earth-shattering pain tore at his body. He was already heavily injured, and now his True Qi was sucked out again. Right now, he was like an arrow at the end of its flight. Suddenly, his consciousness became more and more hazy, and the beautiful figure in front of him also gradually disappeared.
After a long time, he woke up and found himself between two huge rocks. He raised his head and saw that the sky was still gray, proving that he was still in the Desolate Beast Region.
His body still felt a bit uncomfortable, but he felt fine.
Long Chen recalled what happened before he fainted and panicked. He hurriedly asked, "Lil 'Xi, where are you?"
"Here," a weak voice replied.
Only now did Long Chen see Lingxi's sword leaning against a nearby rock. Everything that happened before he fainted was still vivid in Long Chen's mind. Now that he saw Lingxi, he couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness. At the same time, Lingxi's stunning beauty was firmly engraved in his heart.
Lingxi's voice still sounded very weak. He was a bit worried and hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine … … but I'm really tired. I don't even have the strength to speak. Since you're awake, I'm going to sleep. If you wake me up, I'll take your life … …"
Towards the end, she was already somewhat delirious.
"You fell asleep so quickly? You're really a pig."
Long Chen laughed as he scolded her. However, when he thought about how not only did this girl save him, but she also endured her exhaustion and didn't sleep while he was unconscious …
"How could I not understand this friendship?
Never mind, this girl is all alone. In the future, let me, Long Chen, properly repay her! "
Long Chen already knew that Lingxi's body was destroyed by the mysterious sword and her soul was sucked into it.
"That Astral Fiend Wolf was probably repelled by Lingxi. Now that I've obtained two ginsengs, I can use them to advance my strength."
Thinking of this, he surveyed his surroundings. After confirming it was safe, he took out the ginsengs and ate one. In the blink of an eye, Long Chen could feel a wave of heat spreading through his body. It circulated through his entire body several times, nourishing his body and then heading towards his dantian.
"This heat is the medicinal energy. I need to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly refine this medicinal energy and turn it into true energy."
Time passed bit by bit.
After an hour, the medicinal energy of the ginsengs had been completely digested. Long Chen furrowed his brows and said, "Mountain Demon Ginsengs are middle-grade spiritual herbs. I'm afraid that one won't be enough for me to break through the fourth Dragon Vein immediately. I'll take another one. Since I've cultivated the Astral Battle Body, my meridians are stronger than ordinary people. I'm sure I can withstand this huge medicinal energy!"
As soon as he thought of this, he swallowed the other ginseng.
As the dense medicinal energy began to spread, Long Chen increased the speed of his refinement. The true energy in his dantian increased, gradually reaching the critical point and even exceeding it.
"It's all done. This time, let me break through to the fourth layer of the Dragon Vein Realm. Every three layers of the Dragon Vein Realm is a threshold. Once I reach the fourth layer, my strength will definitely increase once again. At that time, I won't be defenseless when I encounter that Astral Fiend Wolf again!"
Vast amounts of true energy surged toward the fourth Dragon Vein. The fourth Dragon Vein Realm was several times harder than the third Dragon Vein Realm. Long Chen's first attempt was met with a strong resistance.
"The cultivation of the Dragon Vein Realm is truly difficult. I have my father's true energy and two ginsengs, but I still can't make a breakthrough. However, this isn't my limit!"
Gritting his teeth, Long Chen gathered all his true energy and surged it toward the fourth Dragon Vein. The roar of a dragon resounded in his body.
An hour later, with a loud boom, a powerful aura exploded in the surroundings. Long Chen stood up with true energy surging in his eyes.
Clenching his fists, he sensed the powerful energy in his body.
"So this is the fourth layer of the Dragon Vein Realm? How powerful! To think that Yang Zhan lost to me despite possessing such strength. What a piece of trash!"
Looking at the Lingxi Sword, Lin Yun said, "I'm afraid that it won't be easy for Lingxi to wake up. There's not much time left for the Clans Assembly, so I can't waste it. While she's asleep, I'll cultivate the Astral Battle Body and stabilize my cultivation before making a breakthrough to the fifth layer."
With the improvement in his strength, Long Chen's flustered heart finally calmed down.
He sat down on the ground and continued cultivating.
