The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 59: You Die, I Live!

At almost the same time as Chen Heng's voice echoed, Bai Xiaochun, who was still pinned to the tree, looked up. A valiant gleam appeared in his eyes as he grabbed, grabbed the arrow protruding from his shoulder, then ruthlessly pulled it out, ignoring the resulting piercing pain.

Blood gushed out, and the arrow itself dragged out the piece of flesh. The pain itself was so intense that Bai Xiaochun trembled. However, without the slightest bit of hesitation, he unleashed the Cauldron Control Art of Violet Qi. Using Heaviness-in-Lightness, he threw an arrow back at the cultivators of the Luochen Clan.

A piercing cry echoed in the air as the arrow sped away.

Due to the use of Heaviness-in-Lightness, the power of the arrow was like a towering mountain.

At the same time, Bai Xiaochun's hand flashed in a spell move, sending his wooden sword flying out in a second deadly attack. The grim and gloomy aura raged; successive deadly encounters with members of the Luochen Clan had given Bai Xiaochun an incredible firsthand experience in battle. Furthermore, it showed that he seemed to have an extraordinary talent as a warrior hidden deep in his bones, something he rarely revealed to the world. It was only on display now because of the many life and death situations he faced.

The cultivator of the Luochen Clan who was just about to shoot a second arrow was shocked. He had never imagined that Bai Xiaochun could be so ruthless. In fact, now he realized that Bai Xiaochun might very well have let himself be hit with an arrow, all with the intention of being able to make this near-instant counterattack.

The man fell back instantly. He was in the great circle of level eight Qi Condensation, and as someone who often fought with various ferocious beasts in the Fallenstar Mountains, was very experienced. He knew that he had lost the initiative in battle, but even when he retreated, he chose not to activate any defenses. Instead, he took advantage of the short moment he had ... to finish drawing the bow!

"Are you going to block this one ?!" he roared, an evil ray in his eyes as he launched the second arrow.

In his estimation, Bai Xiaochun would definitely use his wooden sword to block the arrow, which would eliminate one of the two deadly threats that were heading towards him, and would give him back the initiative.

However, it was at that moment that Bai Xiaochun's eyes turned red; he knew that he could not give his opponent the slightest chance to make a move. If he did, then he would most likely be killed.

Gritting his teeth, he decided not to use the wooden sword for defense, and instead allowed the arrow to come closer and stab into his stomach. At the same time, the arrow he threw shot forward and pierced into the man's chest. Blood spurted everywhere as the man screamed, his eyes shining with shock as the force of the punch pushed him back even faster.

That was when Bai Xiaochun's wooden sword pierced the man as if it demanded to end his life. With a quick slashing movement, it completely cut off the head of the man, who fell to the ground.

After finishing these things, Bai Xiaochun coughed a mouthful of blood, yet did not hesitate for a moment to race behind the trees, where he disappeared.

After several dozen breaths of time passed, many other cultivators of the Luochen Clan arrived at the location. When they looked around, shocked expressions appeared on their faces when they realized that Bai Xiaochun was so ruthless that he would even injure himself to kill his opponent.

A moment later, a flash of light could be seen the moment Crown Prince Chen Heng appeared.

He looked at the severed head of his clan member, and then another trail of blood in the area. His expression turned grim, and a strong killing intent emanated out from him.

Also in the area were the other five clan members, three of whom were at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, and two were at the seventh.

"Chen Feng, Chen Gu, you two go look for the others. We can't let ourselves out of our territory.You all. We brought back this guy's head! " With that, Chen Heng flicked his sleeve and headed towards the trees.

The two who were at the seventh level of Qi Condensation obeyed Chen Heng's orders and continued their search. The other three followed Chen Heng to the trees, eyes flickering with a desire to kill.

Within the forest that covered the nameless mountains, Bai Xiaochun continued, dizzy and blurred vision. His shoulders, stomach, and right leg were seriously injured. Due to the cold brought by the rain, he shivered even fiercer than usual.

"Am I going to die …?" he thought, laughing. Seeing all his injuries, and the bone-chilling pain that accompanied them, caused tears to flow in his eyes.

He suddenly recalled the image of his parents, lying sick on their deathbed. Then he remembered how he watched their bodies slowly getting colder in death.

Maybe that's when he started to fear the idea of death.

"I want to live!" he thinks. He wiped the tears off his face with his left arm, then gritted his cold, aching teeth as he drove through the forest. He did not know where exactly he was, nor did he have a plan on what to do. There was only one thought in his head. "I must live!"

It was actually his fear of death that seemed to give him endless strength, and kept him going as he drove through the stormy night.

Slowly, he realized that after all the battles, his cultivation base began to move, and he was actually not too far away from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

Finally, the sun was visible from a distance, and when the rays of light pierced through the leaves, they bounced off the falling raindrops, creating a beautiful scene.

Furthermore, the rain ensured that the evidence of its journey was quickly washed away. Despite the fact that they were from a clan of cultivators in the Fallenstar Mountains, who often hunted ferocious beasts in the forest, they were still unable to track them down.

"Alright, let's split up," Chen Heng said through gritted teeth. "He was injured, so he won't be able to run for long. The three of you, stay about three hundred meters apart. When you find it, don't get involved! Send me a message immediately! " With that, the other three clan members nodded and headed in different directions.

Time pass. The next day, Bai Xiaochun was completely exhausted, and reached his limit. If not for the fact that he ran for his life, he would have long collapsed.

Her lips were dry and chapped, her face was haggard, her steps slowed down. After continuing for the time it took for the incense to burn, his face suddenly flickered as he looked at the blurred movement to the right. However, no one attacked him. Instead, the figure instantly fell back.

It was a long-faced young man, one of the three members of the Luochen Clan who had spread out to look for him. Even when the young man fell back, he took out the jade slip he pressed to send a message.

Bai Xiaochun's face sank, and he pushed forward into the forest faster than before.

The long-faced young man noticed it. Bai Xiaochun frightened him, and even as he debated whether to catch up immediately or not, he saw two figures speeding towards him from a distance, and his expression brightened.

They were the other two clan members, and far in the distance, he could even see Chen Heng.

Based on how fast they moved, the other two clan members would arrive around ten breaths of time. Chen Heng was a little further away, and would need around twenty breaths to arrive.

The long-faced young man began to laugh out loud. Without any more hesitation, he lit up his cultivation base, simultaneously summoning many layers of shields. He also slapped his bag to produce a long sword.

It was a huge sword, over two meters tall, with an ancient and crude appearance. The young man raised it, and then swung it into the air, causing whistling sounds to come out from the sharpness of his blade. Killing intent flickered in his eyes, and he smiled ferociously as he shot Bai Xiaochun at high speed.

“Killing Chosen from the Spirit Stream Sect will definitely be fun! Much funnier than killing random rogue cultivators! ” Laughing, he slashed the sword in the air, causing a beam of sword light to fly out, accompanied by a sound like a rushing wind. He then performed a spell motion with his left hand and pointed his finger out, causing a fist-sized fireball to shoot towards Bai Xiaochun.

Despite the rain, the fireball exploded with scorching heat as it pierced through the air. Vibrations flowed in Bai Xiaochun, and as he turned to look back, killing intent flickered in his eyes. He was well aware that if he did not immediately take on this opponent, it would be impossible for him to escape.

However, at the moment when Bai Xiaochun turned around, the long-faced young man suddenly fell back, his eyes flickering with scorn. There was absolutely no way he would give Bai Xiaochun the chance to become close to him. His only goal right now was to buy time.

Bai Xiaochun's hands clenched, and he started running again. However, the long-faced young man quickly interfered, delaying him again. A few breaths of time passed, and the other two clan members approached. When they saw Bai Xiaochun, their cultivation base flared with strength.

At the same time, the long-faced young man started laughing. Instead of dancing like before, he unleashed all the speed he could muster. Together with his two fellow clan members, he shot dead towards Bai Xiaochun.

Three cultivation bases at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. When Chen Heng saw the murder attack unleashed, he felt a little calmer. He was pretty sure that, no matter what tricks Bai Xiaochun pulled, he would definitely be killed.

"What a pity" he said coldly. "He didn't even have a chance to grow." However, before he could even blink his eyes, his expression flickered.

Even as the three figures approached Bai Xiaochun, unleashing various deadly divine abilities and magical techniques, Bai Xiaochun's right hand flashed with a movement of spells. His wooden sword flew towards the middle opponent, and he threw a punch in the other direction.

Explosions sounded as the wooden sword was blocked. However, a fist strike landed, sending the target falling back, blood spurting out of its mouth. Bai Xiaochun also coughed up blood as his injuries worsened. However, before he could retreat, the long-faced young man approached and slashed down with his long sword, sending out a burst of sword light towards Bai Xiaochun.

In a moment of critical danger, Bai Xiaochun barely managed to twist his body to avoid a blow to the heart. The blade pierced him, instantly causing sweat to pour out all over his body. He shivered, and at the same time, the long-faced young man began to laugh. Then, just as he was about to draw his sword back, Bai Xiaochun reached out and grabbed his sword, then pulled his body down onto the hilt.

It was a price to pay, but it placed him right in front of the long-faced young man, whose scalp tingled so hard it felt like it was exploding. A sudden feeling of a deadly crisis struck him. Just as he was about to drop the blade and jump backwards, a black light appeared on Bai Xiaochun's right hand as he grabbed the young man's neck.

"You–" said the young man, his eyes widened. Before he could say a word …

Cracking sounds sounded!

Neck's smashed!
