High Martial Arts: Logging 10,000 Years Into The Future -
Chapter 401
Chapter 401
A pale blue light converged behind Lu Sheng, quickly sketching out an enormous white whale’s phantom.
The white whale was surrounded by countless waves, slightly twisting its body, with blue light spots like fireflies flying around, appearing mysterious and beautiful in the dark cavern.
But the next moment, the white whale gently raised its giant tail and softly slapped down …
Boom—
It was like the sky collapsing!
An indescribably terrifying wave spread out from Lu Sheng as the center.
Wherever it passed, the cavern walls and passages exploded and shattered layer by layer … The exotic beasts charging towards Lu Sheng were thrown back by an invisible force, rolling back like waves.
This attack alone killed at least thousands of exotic beasts … The power of the “Divine Whale [Dharma power]”!
Lu Sheng rarely used this long-neglected martial ability, now bursting with unparalleled brilliance.
Holding his spear in one hand, Lu Sheng strode forward.
Although he was in a dark, bottomless inferno surrounded by ghostly shadows, it was as if he was strolling along the willow embankment in early spring, leisurely slashing through the spring breeze.
He casually thrust his spear, with purple lightning coiling around it like a python, darting into the darkness and exploding in a brilliant electric light.
Another horizontal slash sent countless ice shards whistling out, stirring up layers of blood.
“I possess dozens of master-level paths and techniques, along with various miscellaneous abilities … each of my attacks is equivalent to others’ grand moves! And I have so many grand moves that I can’t even use them all. I could use them in rotation without repeating.”
The combination of the “Stellar Immortal Body” and the “Natural Breathing Technique” made Lu Sheng’s inner energy nearly infinite; he even recovered more than he consumed in battle.
Bang!
A dark shadow shot out from the darkness, breaking through Lu Sheng’s layers of barriers and stabbing his back.
Lu Sheng paused, his body swaying slightly.
He turned expressionlessly, seeing a small, round exotic beast with a long, pointed mouth like a mosquito.
Lu Sheng recognized this beast; though small, it was Level 7 exotic beast, specializing in assassination, feared by even Level 8 Grandmasters, who could be seriously injured or killed by its stealth attacks.
At this moment, the sinister cavern assassin seemed confused, its famed mouthpiece broken in two, buzzing around in place under Lu Sheng’s spiritual power and master field.
Lu Sheng casually pierced the mosquito-like exotic beast with his spear, shaking it into a blood mist.
Then, expressionlessly, he touched the spot where it had attacked.
His battle suit had a large tear, with signs of corrosion. But his skin inside was smooth and unscathed.
“Without any need for defense, I can unleash my attacks recklessly …” Lu Sheng thought silently.
After several more rounds of grand attacks, Lu Sheng wasn’t sure which layer of the cavern he was on now. Suddenly, his keen spiritual power caught a wave from ahead.
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up.
It was the wave from the spiritual power seed attached to the mithril pendant he had given Dong Qingxue.
No doubt.
“Finally … found her!”
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Sheng took a deep breath and advanced, dragging a long, four-colored tail flame like a rocket towards the source of the wave.
Any exotic beast blocking his way, regardless of its level, was torn apart and shredded … Although the wave was constantly moving, Lu Sheng was getting closer and closer …
In the narrow, dark space, Dong Qingxue curled up in a corner, tightly holding a small mithril pendant.
The pendant continuously emitted a faint golden glow, which enveloped her like a shield, protecting her.
Cough, cough …
Dong Qingxue coughed lightly, her face pale.
***
In fact, Dong Qingxue’s condition had been relatively stable, and she hadn’t suffered severe injuries.
The Level 8 Exotic Beast that had suddenly ambushed her had swallowed her whole, but as it attempted to chew, the spiritual barrier emitted by the mithril pendant given to her by Lu Sheng blocked it. Thus, she was swallowed whole into its stomach.
The primary injuries Dong Qingxue had sustained were from being tossed around in the exotic beast’s esophagus and stomach, and from being squeezed.
At this moment, Dong Qingxue didn’t know her exact location inside the Level 8 Exotic Beast.
She had just crawled out of the stomach, where the strong acid had corroded her alloy boots.
Revealing her snow-white, smooth toes, she had simply taken off the boots and curled up in a small corner.
Acid from the exotic beast’s stomach trickled past just centimeters from her toes.
Dong Qingxue leaned against the fleshy wall, which were covered in foot-long tendrils, each ending in tiny mouths full of teeth, resembling living creatures and appearing extremely creepy and disgusting.
She wasn’t sure if these were parasites inside the exotic beast or something else.
These tendrils continuously attacked Dong Qingxue, but the spiritual barrier emitted by the mithril pendant blocked them, keeping her temporarily safe.
However, the spiritual power stored in the mithril pendant was being rapidly consumed, and it was uncertain how long it would last.
Cough, cough …
Dong Qingxue coughed a few more times.
The air inside the exotic beast was extremely foul, and if she weren’t a Level 6 Martial Artist with a physique far stronger than an ordinary person, she would have suffocated and been poisoned to death by now.
Dong Qingxue was trying to dig a hole in the fleshy wall with the hexagonal military spike, hoping to escape. But while the military spike was sharp, it was too small.
And the fleshy wall of the Level 8 Exotic Beast was too tough. Unwittingly, she had driven the military spike too deep into the fleshy wall …
The muscles quickly contracted, forcibly swallowing the military spike.
Dong Qingxue’s eyes flickered for a moment, but she said nothing and remained silent.
That was her last weapon.
Dong Qingxue had never been one to give up easily, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel … deeply desperate.
“Maybe I really am going to die here …” Dong Qingxue murmured to herself, harboring no resentment towards Dong Shengyi.
She felt no bitterness or fear, only … a bit of regret.
She reached into her pocket and took out her phone.
The screen lit up dimly in the darkness.
Her phone still had plenty of battery, but unfortunately, it showed “searching” for a signal and had no network.
Dong Qingxue opened her contacts and tried to call someone several times, but it couldn’t connect.
Her expression remained calm, without disappointment, as this was expected.
She opened her messaging app and tapped on the chat window of her pinned contact. After some thought, she began to type.
The faint glow of the phone screen illuminated Dong Qingxue’s face. She focused on typing, writing a long letter, occasionally tilting her head in thought.
Normally, Dong Qingxue was too cold, like an icy flower carved from frost.
Now, that layer of ice was quietly melting, her demeanor softened, her brows and eyes gentle, resembling a girl in an oil painting. Sometimes, she would suddenly smile, as if recalling something amusing and beautiful.
The corrosive acid trickled past her feet, yet it sounded like a melodious spring stream.
The grotesque tendrils beat against her spiritual barrier like lavender swaying in the breeze.
Dong Qingxue wasn’t hiding in the filthy, cramped exotic beast, but sitting quietly on a summer night’s meadow, beneath a beautiful starry sky, with a gentle breeze and fireflies dancing around her …
Time ticked by.
