Chapter 510: Chapter 504: Seeing Ghosts in Broad Daylight
The hind waist of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, precisely where it was just hit by Yang Zhengxi’s Blue Sand Divine Palm, was now oozing blue pus and emitting a fishy stench.
What was most fatal was that the area of poisoning and suppuration was incessantly expanding. When Ye Zhen had first noticed it, there was only a fist-sized patch of suppuration, but in these ten or so breaths of time, it had already enlarged to the size of a palm.
Moreover, now the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was using the Universe Wishful Secret Technique to reduce its size. If it were to fully release its body size, how large would the poisoned area then become?
Just now, Yang Zhengxi had declared that even martial artists in the Vein Forging Realm wouldn’t dare to recklessly receive his Blue Sand Divine Palm, suggesting that its toxicity was extremely severe.
However, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten didn’t have Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spiritual Power that was immune to all poisons. Even though Ye Zhen was immune to all poisons with his Red Jade Spiritual Power, initially, he too had been affected by the Blue Sand Divine Palm, only that the toxicity was quickly neutralized by the Red Jade Spiritual Power.
With just a stir of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen could sense the terrible condition inside the kitten’s body.
It was even worse than what Ye Zhen had anticipated and seen!
Originally, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had already been poisoned, but now, in assisting Ye Zhen to escape from Yang Zhengxi and propelling its entire strength, the poison spread even faster.
Luckily, the kitten’s Spirit Wisdom was much higher than that of ordinary demon beasts. It knew to use its Spiritual Power to protect its vital organs; otherwise, if the poison reached the five viscera, it would truly be over.
By that time, crying would be of no use to Ye Zhen!
What touched Ye Zhen the most was, despite being severely poisoned, the kitten didn’t even inform him and instead used all its strength to cooperate with Ye Zhen.
"Kitten, bear with the pain!"
Now wasn’t the time for fussing, Ye Zhen pretensed his fingers like a sword, Spiritual Power surged out, and he aggressively sliced at the rotting flesh on the kitten’s hind waist.
Large chunks of necrotic flesh and blue blood fell from the sky. After slicing more than a dozen times, Ye Zhen finally managed to cut away all the rotten flesh, clearing away the source of the poison.
But that was not the end of it.
The Blue Sand Toxin had penetrated deep into the kitten’s body, and cutting away the necrotic flesh was not enough to detoxify it.
All the Detoxification Spirit Pills from the storage ring, bottle and pills together, were thrown into the kitten’s mouth. At the same time, Ye Zhen’s palms fiercely pressed against the back of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, and his Red Jade Spiritual Power gushed into the kitten’s body.
"Kitten, my Red Jade Spiritual Power can detoxify. Guide my Red Jade Spiritual Power to detoxify, there’s no need for speed!"
Upon receiving the message from Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten responded, but its speed did not decrease and seemed to be getting even faster.
Yet, Ye Zhen could feel that the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, due to the poisoning, was somewhat weakened. Despite several attempts to accelerate, its speed did not increase, but rather decreased!
"Kitten, stop trying to speed up. Just hold on for half a quarter-hour more. We are just a thousand miles away from our destination. Once we arrive, that will be my world!"
Ye Zhen briefly surveyed the horizon, then turned to look behind. In the back, the illusion of Yang Zhengxi could faintly be made out, clearly showing that he was using Divine Power Body Technique to chase after Ye Zhen with all his might.
If the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten hadn’t been poisoned, with its speed, it would have long left him far behind. Even if Yang Zhengxi could doggedly follow, the endurance required to maintain the Divine Power Body Technique absolutely couldn’t compare to the kitten’s.
But now, the kitten had been injured by Yang Zhengxi’s Blue Sand Poison Palm.
Making matters worse, although Ye Zhen knew the kitten had been poisoned, he absolutely couldn’t afford to let the kitten stop now.
Because once the kitten stopped, what awaited both Ye Zhen and the kitten would be death, and Ye Zhen wouldn’t even have a chance to heal the kitten.
Only upon reaching the predetermined destination would Ye Zhen have an opportunity to heal the kitten!
The predetermined destination was actually a mountain range, the West River Mountain Range, which was extremely famous in the vicinity of Xining Martial City.
According to the Spirit Map provided by Luo Yingzi, the West River Mountain Range was one of the ten most ancient mountain ranges within the True Spirit Domain, containing many places unexplored by martial artists to this day, particularly deep inside the West River Mountain Range where demon beasts swarmed, making it incredibly dangerous.
At the same time, the West River Mountain Range was also the main base for martial artists from six or seven Martial Cities of different sizes within a million miles to undergo training and seek adventure.
However, most martial artists didn’t dare or couldn’t venture deep into the West River Mountain Range.
According to the Spirit Map, the inside of the West River Mountain Range was a sea of demon beasts!
It was precisely because of this description that when planning an escape route beforehand, Ye Zhen had chosen the West River Mountain Range as his escape route.
Originally, it was just a precaution, just in case!
But Ye Zhen hadn’t expected that he would truly need it!
As for why he chose the demon-beast-infested West River Mountain Range, the reason is simple!
No matter where he was, Ye Zhen was... the King of the Mountains!
Dozens of miles behind, Yang Zhengxi, the Helm Master of the Longevity Sect Xining Branch, had a face like dark water. His body was dark, his fists clenched tight, all his Spirit Perception Divine Sense was locked tightly onto the wave of Spiritual Power ahead, his body flickering like an illusion, chasing relentlessly!
Yang Zhengxi was truly furious!
If initially, Yang Zhengxi had regarded Ye Zhen as a monkey, merely wanting to capture this monkey and give it a good lesson,
But after having his face scratched by Ye Zhen, the ’monkey’, he completely lost his patience.
A mighty Second Stage of Vein Forging Realm martial artist like himself had been made to skirt the Ghost Gate twice and narrowly escape death by Ye Zhen. How could he not be enraged?
The moment Ye Zhen began to flee, he had already secretly sworn an oath to capture Ye Zhen alive.
One reason was for his own reputation, and the second was for the treasures on Ye Zhen’s person!
Not to mention anything else, that Spirit Energy Cannon that almost killed him was an extraordinary treasure.
The kind of Spirit Energy Cannon that could potentially kill him, there was only one in the entire Longevity Sect, and it was a Church Treasure, placed within the Main Sect.
If he could get his hands on that Spirit Energy Cannon, his status within the Longevity Sect would surely skyrocket...
With this thought, the Illusion Yang Zhengxi had transformed into moved even faster.
This time, he had truly invested a fortune.
The Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill, which he seldom used since it could rapidly restore a Vein Forging Realm practitioner’s spiritual power, had already been consumed, and he was gripping the second pill in his hand.
There was no choice, for the Divine Power Body Technique, Shadow Escape, he was using consumed a tremendous amount of energy, especially when it was used consecutively.
What was more strange to Yang Zhengxi, however, was why that guy ahead had not fallen yet?
Having been hit by his Blue Sand Divine Palm, one would be stricken by poison within ten breaths, and within a hundred breaths, a martial artist of the Soul Sea Realm would be poisoned to death.
Even a strong warrior in the Vein Forging Realm, unless they had some special Daoist School techniques, would definitely be poisoned within 15 minutes.
"Could he have some special art? I don’t believe it, how long can you hold on?" With a cold snort, Yang Zhengxi popped the second Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill into his mouth, transforming it into a surge of spiritual power.
....
Ye Zhen peered into the distance once more, the West River Mountain Range was faintly visible ahead, but the distance, which usually seemed a blink away, now felt like an eternity!
Time was moving too slowly, get there already, hurry!
"Kitten, execute the Universe Wishful technique and shrink your size!" Ye Zhen called out as he saw Yang Zhengxi closing in.
Being increasingly poisoned, the kitten’s speed had begun to decrease, but it was still twice as fast as Ye Zhen’s flying speed.
"Quickly!"
The Spirit Light around its body trembled incessantly. After several attempts to relax its breath, the kitten finally shrunk down to the size of a domestic cat.
The moment its size reduced, Ye Zhen quickly stuffed the kitten into his embrace. Gigantic Spirit Wings materialized on his back and in the blink of an eye, he vanished.
Almost simultaneously, due to that delay, Yang Zhengxi, who was in hot pursuit, had already closed the distance to within twenty li.
Seeing this, Yang Zhengxi burst into laughter.
"Ye Zhen, the poison’s acting up, huh? Let’s see where you can run this time!"
Ye Zhen didn’t respond but glanced back coldly and disappeared on the spot; a streak of red light immediately burst forth, entering the distant woods.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen appeared four li away. As soon as he reappeared, he turned into another streak of red light and vanished!
"Damn, Divine Skills!"
"A Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist knows Divine Power Body Techniques, damn, I must be seeing ghosts in broad daylight!"
Watching Ye Zhen, who was flickering and disappearing into the distance, Yang Zhengxi rubbed his eyes hard in disbelief, more shocked than if he had seen a ghost.
Because from his estimation, the Divine Power Body Technique that Ye Zhen, a Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist, was using, was actually faster by a tenth or two, and even more sophisticated than the Shadow Escape he had been practicing.
After a moment of shock and cursing, Yang Zhengxi transformed into an illusion and resumed his relentless pursuit!
Even though his Divine Power Body Technique was slightly inferior to the one Ye Zhen was currently using, he was convinced that Ye Zhen could not escape his grasp.
The strain of using the Divine Power Body Technique for a long duration was something a martial artist in the Spirit Transformation Realm could not sustain.
He believed that once he captured Ye Zhen, all mysteries would be effortlessly unraveled!
Whew!
Ye Zhen was already panting heavily.
He could handle the energy drain from using Silver Line Flash four or five times, or even seven or eight times. However, the consumption from performing nearly a thousand Silver Line Flashes within half a quarter-hour was not something Ye Zhen could bear.
The best Nine-Transition Soul Restoration Pill that he had for restoring spiritual power had already been swallowed by him, the effects diminishing with each dose, and he was unable to keep up with the depletion in his body.
Despite holding a highly precious High Grade Spirit Crystal in each hand to desperately absorb spiritual power, it still couldn’t match the rate of consumption.
Moreover, prolonged high-intensity output of spiritual power was causing all the meridians throughout Ye Zhen’s body to feel as if they were about to twitch involuntarily.
Glancing back at the woods behind him, he could no longer see Yang Zhengxi’s figure, and through Divine Sense Perception, the terrifying fluctuations in Yang Zhengxi’s spiritual power were extremely faint.
That is to say, Ye Zhen’s own spiritual power fluctuations were no longer as intense in Yang Zhengxi’s perception, especially within the demon-beast-ridden West River Mountain Range.
"It’s about time! I can’t delay treating Kitten’s injuries any longer..." Ye Zhen looked on with an urgent expression.
In the next instant, as he turned into a streak of red light, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense suddenly delved into the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Mirage Dragon housed within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
At the end of the red light’s flight, there abruptly appeared a mass of light and shadow, but it was no longer Ye Zhen.
Instead, it was a Silver Line Demon Eagle King over twenty meters in length, with a wingspan exceeding a hundred meters!
With one flap of its wings, it burst out of the woods and soared into the sky.
Almost at the same time, Yang Zhengxi, who was in persistent pursuit, suddenly looked dumbfounded.
"Huh? How come Ye Zhen’s huge spiritual power fluctuation suddenly stopped?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
