Chapter 189: Escaping to Safety
Chapter 189: Escaping to Safety
Li Yuan took out the very thing that Li Yang had given him last time—the life-saving 'Purple Longevity Pill'.
Any Sky Soaring Martial Artist who consumes it, as long as they don't suffer a fatal head injury, can survive and fully recover from their injuries.
"This... Argh..." Liu Jing was extremely weak, and he opened his mouth slightly, trying to speak.
He guessed that Li Yuan had taken out the life-saving item and wanted to stop him.
However, his Origin Power was exhausted, and after desperately killing the Flying Serpent Tyrant and using the Death-Defying Technique, he had lost both arms and a leg. On top of that, he had just been hit by the Tyrant's overwhelming Origin Power at close range.
It could be said that not dying on the spot was sheer luck.
He could only let Li Yuan do as he pleased.
"Gulp~" Liu Jing swallowed the Purple Longevity Pill, and Li Yuan released his mouth, still looking at Liu Jing with some concern.
Although Li Yang had boasted about the pill, Li Yuan still had some doubts, especially since Liu Jing's injuries were so severe.
But just a few seconds later.
"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan's mind.
"Ah~" Liu Jing's body suddenly trembled violently, letting out a low roar, and a trace of pain appeared on his face.
He seemed to be enduring immense agony.
But his low roar made Li Yuan's eyes light up.
His Vital Energy was so strong that he didn't look like a dying man at all. The Purple Longevity Pill seemed to have pulled Liu Jing back from the brink of death.
"Sizzle~" Intense pain swept through Liu Jing's entire body.
Even with his strong willpower, he struggled to endure it, and he couldn't help but let out a low roar.
This terrifying pain caused Liu Jing's face to contort with bulging veins.
It hurt so much.
"Good, good! Great!" Li Yuan's face showed a hint of joy.
He had won the gamble and saved Liu Jing!
In Li Yuan's perception, Liu Jing's life force was rapidly recovering. From the previous life tier retreat to below 10th rank, it was now constantly rising.
13th rank, 13.5th rank, 14th rank, 14.4th rank...
And then.
Li Yuan watched in disbelief as Liu Jing's originally destroyed arms and legs grew at a visible rate, flesh, bones, and tendons extending continuously.
Along with the growth of his missing limbs, the dirty blood within Liu Jing's body was also being forced out by the medicine's effect.
"Growing so fast?" Li Yuan was secretly amazed.
He finally understood why Li Yang valued this 'Purple Longevity Pill' so much and said that it was 'priceless', sought after by Essence Warriors.
The effects were indeed exaggerated.
Resurrecting the dead was probably impossible, but restoring flesh to a skeleton was not an exaggeration.
"Ahhh~" Liu Jing's eyes widened.
His face had regained its rosiness, and he couldn't help but let out a series of low roars.
He could indeed feel his vitality rapidly returning.
However, the pain of his limbs growing at such a rapid rate in a short time was indeed unbearable for ordinary people.
It hurt so much that Liu Jing felt like dying.
"Sizzle~" The bones kept growing.
It was as if they were grinding the flesh.
"Ah!" After letting out a low roar, Liu Jing finally couldn't bear it and passed out.
Sizzle~ Only Liu Jing's body continued to tremble.
"He fainted? It seems like Senior Liu's willpower isn't as strong as I imagined. Is it that painful?" Li Yuan muttered, "Fainting is good too."
Sometimes, fainting is a form of self-protection.
Huff!
Li Yuan grabbed Liu Jing and placed him on his back.
"Buzz~" The black battle armor, which had only covered the skin's surface, now flowed like a liquid, instantly wrapping around Liu Jing's body, securing him tightly to Li Yuan like ropes.
Li Yuan shook him, and it felt very stable.
"Let's go." Li Yuan surveyed the surroundings; it was still dangerous.
After so long, flying serpents had gathered from all directions, and their numbers were increasing.
Although there was no Second Rank Flying Serpent to command them, and the previous battles had inflicted heavy casualties, most of the flying serpents were now timid and fearful.
But don't forget.
Many powerful flying serpents, especially those at the 19th rank, still remembered that Li Yuan had taken away three Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruits.
In the eyes of these flying serpents, the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruits were their hope for breaking through the Second Rank.
"What a pity."
"I have to go alone and carry Senior Liu." Li Yuan glanced at the massive corpse of the flying serpent.
This Second Rank alien was a treasure trove; its blood, flesh, skin, and bones could all fetch a high price.
A whole corpse could be worth at least two to three hundred million Blue Star Coins if safely transported back to Xia Kingdom.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan couldn't possibly carry such a massive corpse out of the deep valley alone.
With this in mind.
Whoosh!
Li Yuan exerted a little force with his legs, carrying Liu Jing, and with a leap, he reached the head of the flying serpent's corpse.
A short dagger appeared in his hand.
"Sizzle~" Li Yuan cut along the giant head's existing wound, leaving only shallow blood marks.
"Damn! So hard?" Li Yuan glared, knowing that the serpent's skin was incredibly tough, but he hadn't expected it to be this strong.
This was an explosion of ten thousand pounds of force.
With this, Li Yuan understood how lucky he was to have survived the Flying Serpent Tyrant's final attack.
Between the 19th and 25th ranks, the gap was simply too vast.
"Buzz~" Li Yuan's mind stirred, and Source Power infused his short dagger. A faint yellow glow streaked across the blade, and he slashed down again with great force.
"Slicing~" This time, the blade infused with Source Power finally cut through, slicing through the sharp horn that encircled the Flying Snake Tyrant's head, and even deeper into its flesh.
In just over ten seconds, a sharp, bloody horn about thirty centimeters tall appeared in front of Li Yuan.
"A Second Rank Flying Snake can barely be considered a Flying Serpent or Dragon." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Their horns are signs of evolution and are worth at least several million Blue Star Coins."
It was an extremely rare find.
This horn was the most valuable part of the Flying Snake Tyrant's corpse, followed by its pair of sharp claws.
Huh! Li Yuan placed the massive horn at his waist, and his Source Power Armor extended several black silk threads, securing it firmly to his body.
The Source Power Armor was alive, capable of transforming its form at will, forming a backpack, extending its length, and more.
There was just one caveat.
The more it extended outward, the more its crucial defensive capabilities diminished, so the user had to exercise discretion.
"What a pity." Li Yuan glanced at the pair of sharp claws, each one taller than a person.
Incredibly sharp!
Just these claws alone were worth several million Blue Star Coins, but they were too large for Li Yuan to consider taking them.
"That's enough."
"Greed can lead to downfall; know when to stop." Li Yuan recalled his uncle's words—fortune lies in risk, and so does loss.
There was no need to go overboard for mere wealth.
"Let's go!"
Sheathing his dagger, Li Yuan moved swiftly, gripping his long spear, and darted off into the distance at an astonishing speed.
Seeing Li Yuan's determination to escape, the 19th Rank and above Flying Snakes could no longer hold back. They roared and charged towards him.
They tried to command other Flying Snakes to block Li Yuan's path.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Not only did numerous Flying Snakes on the ground pounce, but many more on the cliffs on both sides screeched and dove from above, aiming for the rapidly ascending Li Yuan.
"Pfft!"
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Terrifying spear shadows streaked across the sky, slicing through the Flying Snakes heading towards Li Yuan, tearing their bodies apart or piercing their heads, causing their massive frames to plummet to the ground.
There was no match for Li Yuan.
Earlier, even the 21.3 Rank Flying Snake leader, leading a large group of First Rank Flying Snakes in an ambush, was swiftly killed by Li Yuan Power infused into his spear.
Not to mention these Flying Snakes, which were mostly only 16th and 17th Rank.
In fact, during the initial reconnaissance, if it weren't for the two Second Rank Flying Snakes, Li Yuan might have taken action immediately.
First Rank? Nowadays, very few Flying Snakes were a concern to Li Yuan.
Whoosh! Following the cliff wall at an incredible speed, fewer and fewer Flying Snakes dared to block his path. Soon, Li Yuan climbed over the cliff and quickly disappeared into the vast forest.
Inside the Flying Snake Valley, the aftermath of the intense battle left devastation and corpses, with the wails of the Flying Snakes echoing throughout the valley.
...
Carrying Liu Jing, Li Yuan quickly escaped the Flying Snake Valley, not daring to linger.
"It's been so long."
"If the Tianliang Clan's higher-ups are indeed taking action and sending Source Warriors, they must be very close to the Flying Snake Valley." Li Yuan made a decision to flee far away first.
Li Yuan didn't believe he could stand against the Tianliang Clan's army alone.
Escape was the best course of action.
...
Following the map's guidance, in less than twenty minutes, Li Yuan had escaped over 30 kilometers, and the signal on his Smart Ring had fully recovered.
"I should report this to the base first, to prevent any misunderstandings among the other higher-ups." Li Yuan instinctively glanced back at the still-unconscious Liu Jing.
Liu Jing's limbs had fully regrown, and his life force was becoming increasingly robust.
"I and Senior Liu Jing..." Li Yuan organized his thoughts and reported the situation in the Flying Snake Valley to the base, mainly about how he and Liu Jing fought three Second Rank Flying Snake Tyrants and eventually killed them all, and how Liu Jing was severely injured in the process.
He omitted the matter of the three 'Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruits'.
If the Flying Snake Valley was suitable for establishing a war base, it should be developed by the state.
But these three fruits, from start to finish, were his alone. Li Yuan didn't want to share them with anyone else.
Li Yuan didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble or envy.
After doing all this, Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and continued rushing towards the base.
At this moment, he felt safer the further he was from the Flying Snake Valley.
...
About two hours after Li Yuan and Liu Jing's battle in the Flying Snake Valley.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures moved at incredible speeds, easily dodging the Flying Snakes and reaching the top of the Flying Snake Valley's canyon.
"Blood Sentinel, is this the 'Flying Snake Valley' you mentioned? Where is the Seven Stars Human Source Warrior you spoke of?" A tall, burly man with a deep voice looked down at the misty canyon.
Occasional roars of Flying Snakes still echoed through the canyon.
