Chapter 48: 48
John finally opened his eyes after an unknown time.
“Oww!”
John screamed in pain as he tried to stand up. He sent a heavenly feeling to his body to check the damage and took a cold breath as he finally understood the extent of the damage.
‘All my ribs are cracked in some places, some of my organs are slightly broken, and I have some torn muscles. Not to mention, a huge gaping wound on my chest. I'm lucky to be alive. ‘
John finally managed to sit down after struggling hard, at that moment he took out the Life Mist Healing Pill and put it in his mouth. He spent the entire day focusing on recovery before finally collapsing once again late into the night. The next day, John took another pill and once again focused on recovery. John went on to eat, heal, and sleep for the next week before finally recovering enough to stand up.
‘Sial, I almost died because of that battle.’
John recalled the battle that had occurred a few nights earlier. He started cursing himself out of ignorance of receiving direct attacks from Mist Creation cultivators, relying solely on his body to block them.
“Do I really want death?”
After beating himself up for a few minutes, John finally calmed down, where a smile slowly surfaced on his face.
‘Even if I almost die from the attack, the only thing that matters is that I don't do it. My body is strong enough to withstand an all-out attack from a late Mist Creation cultivator. Not only that, but I can also kill one. However, the previous wave of energy did not occur this time. I can't count on it happening every time I'm in danger it seems. ‘
Although John still had a hard time believing the outcome of the battle, the truth was revealed before him. Not only was John powerful enough to kill a late Mist Creation Realm cultivator, either, he also had a body strong enough to receive a direct attack from someone in the full minor realm above him without dying. However, the battle situation was in his favor. The man had underestimated John, so he used this to his advantage by attacking at full force immediately and exchanging blows with the man. If the man had time to strike with the full force of his attack, John did not know if he would survive or not.
John clenched his fists in excitement at the thought of his own strength.
‘With my body and essence cultivation so strong, wouldn't I be unmatched in the same realm?’
His excited mind quickly turned sour as John thought of Austin.
“b*j*ng*n -b*j*ng*n it. What did that person say, The Mantis Killer Group Stalked? I will definitely visit them once my strength grows” muttered John furiously. She really liked Austin, and even started seeing him like an older brother. He'll make sure that Austin has been reciprocated.
‘Should I involve my clan? Or should I handle this myself? ‘
John thought about it for a moment before deciding not to include his clan in the matter. Austin was his friend, so he would make sure to personally reply to this matter.
‘I will find out where their base is, and when I am strong enough, I will definitely visit them personally. Although I don't know how powerful the guild really is. I have to ask my clan if they have any information about the assassin guild, and if not I should look for another way. ‘
John was racking his brain to look for ideas when he suddenly thought of something.
‘Sang Duke's. He hired them, so he had to know some information regarding the strength and location of their headquarters. I will also visit him in the future. ‘
As John was deep in his own thoughts about revenge, he heard the echoes of loud explosions from outside the cave.
‘Did they find me?’ john panicked. In haste, he had teleported in a random direction from the battlefield, but he was sure he had managed to teleport a hundred miles away.
John held his breath and made as few sounds as possible in hopes of evading the detection of anyone or anything outside the cave. After a few minutes of waiting in silence, John finally let out a sigh of relief as he thought whatever was outside had passed.
“Snarling!”
John looked up to see an animal standing at the entrance of the cave.
“Night Other fucking Wolf?” John cursed the beast in front of him. The cave was apparently the home of Night Wolf, and this Night Wolf was at the Late Mist Creation realm.
‘Usually I will have no problem killing this wolf, but I am still injured and my combat strength is less than half normal.’
John gritted his teeth due to his difficulty.
“Fuck, I'll try to fight to get out of here.”
The explosion!
As John prepared to stand up and fight, the area where Night Wolf stood exploded. After the dust settled, John saw the corpse of Night Wolf sliced neatly in half. John was puzzled by what had just happened before a wave of powerful heavenly feelings probed him.
“Persetan. This powerful heavenly feeling clearly belonged to a Qi Condensation cultivator. Have they found me?” John hurriedly stood up to prepare for a futile fight.
John gritted his teeth in pain as he saw two people standing at the entrance of the cave and peering inside.
The Myriad Annihilation Scythe!
John decided to take the initiative and attack before any words were exchanged and sent a powerful beam of crescent Qi towards the cave exit. He imagined his only hope of escape was to attack the exit of the cave and use his movement techniques to dodge his enemies. As he sent out the attack, his newly healed wounds once again opened.
The two people at the entrance of the cave noticed the incoming attack, and one of them slashed down with their own abilities.
John widened his eyes in shock as his attack was easily defeated by the attack of his enemy, where he headed straight towards him. Although his attack had weakened this attack a little, it was still stronger than anything he could do.
John hurriedly dodged to the side as the attack landed on his feet.
“Gah!”
John was sent flying from the immense force of the attack before he crashed heavily into the cave wall. He rebounded viciously from the wall and fell violently to the ground.
John coughed up blood as he felt most of his wounds open once again. Blood flowed out of his mouth as he tried to stand up, but could not muster the strength to do so. The last thing John saw before he fainted was two people walking straight towards him.
