C40 The Cave on the Cliff
After escaping the Safety Town, Zhang Xiaoyu did not go back to reunite with the Fire-spitting Lizard. His injuries had only recovered fifty to sixty percent, and because of his unique physique, most people would not be able to recover so quickly.
Gongyang Ruo gradually caught up to Zhang Xiaoyu from behind. Although her Grand Martial Master was unable to fly, it was able to create a jet of air current under her feet, allowing her to glide for more than ten meters. Like a spirit of the wind, her clothes fluttered as she locked onto the figure in front of her.
With a burst of silver light, a small sword flew out from her hand and followed a floating trajectory.
Without looking back, Zhang Xiaoyu raised his broadsword slightly, and the broad sword immediately blocked the small sword. Of course, because of the penetrating power of the sword qi, the broadsword already had a faint sword hole left in it.
"I don't want to kill you, as long as you surrender." Gongyang Ruo said in a faint voice as she glided down the small hill.
"To surrender means death, what difference does it make?" Zhang Xiaoyu's long and powerful legs moved with his breathing. From beginning to end, Zhang Xiaoyu's speed did not slow down.
Gongyang Ruo sneered, "It's not up to you." After saying that, three small swords appeared in his hands and shot out in a zigzag shape, attacking Zhang Xiaoyu's back, waist, and thigh respectively.
Ding! Ding! The broadsword swept away two small swords. The remaining sword stabbed deeply into Zhang Xiaoyu's back, blood spurting out.
With a groan, Zhang Xiaoyu held his breath and staggered a bit as he ran forward. Gongyang Ruo's individual combat ability was too strong, being able to shoot out multiple small swords at the same time. Even if Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't injured, he still wouldn't be Gongyang Ruo's match.
Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly stepped on a piece of mountain rock, spun in the air and swung his sword with both of his hands. The sharp and violent sound of the sword splitting the air almost pierced Zhang Xiaoyu's eardrums.
Gongyang Ruo suddenly dodged out of the way of extreme danger. She turned her body and moved to the side. Kacha, the huge rock that was originally in a straight line with his body split open and the fracture surface was smooth and flat. If he hadn't dodged just now, then even his protective spirit energy might not have been able to block it.
"Air Blade!" There were a few people in the desert with abnormally strong bodies, but they were rare. The only difference was that none of the Air Blade s that were swung by them had such might, it was almost comparable to the elementary form of Sword Qi that she had comprehended.
Steadying his body, his right foot lifted up a huge rock as he kicked out. Using this short moment, Zhang Xiaoyu accelerated and pulled away from Gongyang Ruo.
Bang! With a palm strike, the huge rock was shattered. Gongyang Ruo coldly snorted, then chased after him.
Unknowingly, the two of them had reached the depths of the chaotic mountain range and their safety Town was long gone. Other than the footsteps and breathing of the two people, the surroundings were completely silent.
This woman was really hard to deal with. Zhang Xiaoyu stuffed a few Pill into his mouth and rushed to the top of the mountain in one go. His body suddenly stopped and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
After a short while, Gongyang Ruo arrived at the top of the mountain. When she saw the empty space in front of her, she smiled and said, "It seems that the heavens want you dead."
Behind him was a cliff that was tens of thousands of feet high. The ethereal airflow formed into clusters of pale white clouds that surrounded the surroundings. Zhang Xiaoyu took two steps back and glanced downwards. Suddenly, he felt dizzy. It was way too high, before reaching the Martial King level, anyone who fell would definitely die. Even his bones would be smashed into smithereens.
Gongyang Ruo looked at Zhang Xiaoyu calmly and mocked, "You have two choices now, either to jump down or to follow me. Other than these two options, you have no other choice." She believed that the other party would make a wise decision. After all, jumping in would mean certain death, and going back with him would basically mean death. However, dying a few days later would also be a type of reward.
"Bye bye then!" Zhang Xiaoyu's body disappeared from Gongyang Ruo's sight.
"What?" Gongyang Ruo quickly rushed forward.
Riiiip. The clothes in front of his chest were torn to shreds by an invisible force, revealing his snow-white body. Traces of red blood dripped down from the top of his breasts.
"Bastard!" Gongyang Ruo's face turned from red to black as she shot a foot long sword at Zhang Xiaoyu who was lying on the side of the cliff. The dense sword qi cut open the rock and fell off the cliff along with Zhang Xiaoyu.
Covering her chest with her hand, Gongyang Ruo was still fuming. She took out several small swords with her left hand and shot them down.
Zhang Xiaoyu hung on the cliff. It was a pity that he didn't kill Gongyang Ruo with a sword just now, as he could only do it one step at a time. He hoped that the cliff wasn't as high as he had imagined.
His left hand touched the wound on his shoulder, where at least two pieces of flesh had been cut off. The small sword contained sword Qi that could tear through steel, and the flesh was as weak as tofu in front of it.
The wind on the cliff was unexpectedly strong. Zhang Xiaoyu exchanged his arms with much difficulty, leaving a clear finger hole as he slowly climbed down.
When he looked up, he couldn't see the top of the cliff anymore. Zhang Xiaoyu estimated that in about 15 minutes, she dropped more than 200 meters. He wondered if that fierce woman left and came down to wait for him.
Huff, puff, puff. Violent winds swept out in all directions.
Zhang Xiaoyu's left ear slightly moved. Normally, the wind wouldn't make too much noise when it blew over, but now, there was a sound of whirling holes coming from the lower left side. If it wasn't an obstruction, then it was a hole. Thinking of this, he immediately crawled towards that direction.
As expected, after a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiaoyu appeared by the entrance of a cave. Strong wind was blowing in from here and was released by the tornado, producing a strange sound.
It was impossible to see it from the top of the cliff, and even from the bottom, it could not be seen because of the clouds, unless it was a flying Dire Beast.
Taking a few steps inside, until the wind stopped blowing, Zhang Xiaoyu sat down. Right now, the most important thing is not to explore, but to heal.
His body was different from others, and was even more tyrannical. However, after he was hit by the Martial King and suffered two slashes, even if an ordinary person didn't die, he would be crippled, and would have no chance of advancing for the rest of his life.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhang Xiaoyu took out the lotion from the Essence Ring and poured the rest of the wound on his shoulder. After taking out the five bottles of the lotion, Zhang Xiaoyu threw the two Great Essence Pills into his mouth and swallowed them.
Two hours later, Zhang Xiaoyu opened his eyes and took out two more Big Essence Pills from the Essence Ring.
"..."
After waiting on the cliff for more than two hours, Gongyang Ruo had a premonition that Zhang Xiaoyu might not be dead, and the cliff might be a dead zone for ordinary people, but the other party was already a peak-level Martial Master, and there were still many ways to survive. Unfortunately, the clothes on her front half of her body had been torn, and even her firm body had been exposed.
