Chapter 2021: Sheltering from the Rain in a Cave
Four terrifying demonic entities suffused with demon intent, resembling peerless Demon Gods, appeared above Qin Chen’s head.
The extreme demon intent pierced through heaven and earth, with constant roars echoing.
The Heavenly Pride Phenomenon of a One-star Genius is one that covers the heavens.
A Two Stars Heavenly Pride is Twin Dragons Roar to the Sky.
Three-star Genius is Three Stars in the Sky.
By exhibiting a Heavenly Pride Phenomenon, one can gain a powerful increase in combat strength.
The Heavenly Pride Phenomenon of a Four-star Heavenly Pride is Four Demons Roaming the Sky.
At this moment.
Four Demons Roaming the Sky caused Qin Chen’s strength to more than double?
The power permeating his whole body surged within Qin Chen like a volcanic eruption, as he gripped the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, striking at the Rocky Flood Dragon.
"Boom!"
When the unparalleled formidable aura emanating from Qin Chen pressured the Rocky Flood Dragon.
The Rocky Flood Dragon’s heart trembled violently!
To describe Qin Chen at this moment in one word, it’s strength!
Strong enough to pierce the universe!
The Rocky Flood Dragon roared bellowingly, attempting to resist Qin Chen’s strike.
But ultimately couldn’t hold off.
"Puff!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade pierced through the Rocky Flood Dragon’s body.
And bisected its body in the air.
Always famed for its defensive power, the Rocky Flood Dragon now seemed as fragile as tofu under Qin Chen’s blade.
The two remaining Sea Beasts witnessed this and immediately sought to escape.
Yet, having learned a lesson, how could Qin Chen let them escape?
Even risking the threat of discovery by the Blood Spirit Demon Clan, Qin Chen wouldn’t let them go!
"You think you can come and go as you please?"
Qin Chen’s furious roar resounded through the Sky Dome, his body darting out like flowing light.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade slashed down!
"Boom!"
This slash seemed like it was meant to rip apart the sky, shaking the entire space violently, looking as if it would collapse.
"Puff!"
One of the Sea Beasts was instantly slain.
The other Sea Beast, seeing this, was terrified beyond extreme.
The worst fear isn’t death, but knowing you’re about to die, and being utterly helpless.
Qin Chen performed the Small Movement Technique, quickly arriving in front of this Sea Beast.
He glared ferociously at it.
"Don’t kill me!"
This Sea Beast immediately knelt down before Qin Chen.
Dignity, reputation—at this moment, it didn’t need any of it!
"Not kill you? If I don’t kill you, I can’t appease the hatred in my heart!"
"This battle was started by you!"
With Qin Chen’s roar, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade descended.
"Puff!"
Blood splattered! Life ended!
The raging aura from Qin Chen’s body finally subsided.
"Wahoo!"
Right away, Qin Chen clutched his chest, spitting a mouthful of blood.
"Qin Chen."
Lin Songyun supported Shen Mirui as they came forward.
Shen Mirui was extremely weak at the moment, her face devoid of any sign of blood.
Lin Songyun might be the least injured among the three.
But still not in good shape.
"Clear the battlefield and leave quickly."
Dark clouds covered the sky, making everyone’s mood intensely somber.
"Crack!"
Suddenly.
A bolt of thunder exploded in the dim sky.
With a long-brewing storm breaking out like fury, rain poured down immensely.
Endless rain beat down on the bodies of the three.
A chill continuously corroded Qin Chen and the others.
Especially Shen Mirui.
Already severely injured, now soaked by cold rain, she shivered all over.
Qin Chen’s expression sank slightly: "Let’s find a place to rest for a while."
Ordinarily, regardless of wind or rain, they should have moved swiftly.
Each additional moment they stayed increased the danger.
But Shen Mirui was too injured now.
Forcing themselves to move, even if she survived, she’d have lifelong complications.
And Qin Chen was also not lightly injured.
"Alright."
Lin Songyun nodded, tightly holding onto Shen Mirui, trying to warm her up.
"Senior sister, hold on, we’ll find shelter from the rain soon enough."
In the wilderness, the least scarce thing is caves.
Quickly the three found a cave, Qin Chen chopped down a tree outside and lit it inside.
Though damp,
With Qin Chen’s skill, he could easily ignite it.
The coldness was expelled somewhat as the fire burned.
In the cave, it’s extremely quiet.
None spoke.
"Here."
Qin Chen took out one of the Top Ten Delicacies, Energy Spiritual Meat.
He smiled: "This is one of the Top Ten Delicacies, Energy Spiritual Meat, try it, it’s delicious."
Shen Mirui suddenly looked up, earnestly gazing at Lin Songyun and Qin Chen, saying: "You two should leave."
Qin Chen’s hand froze in mid-air with the Energy Spiritual Meat.
His smile faded, seriously looking at Shen Mirui: "Senior sister, why are you talking nonsense?"
"Do you want me and Song Yun to leave you? That’s impossible, don’t even think about it."
Lin Songyun said: "Senior sister, didn’t we already pull through together? Though difficult, we’re about to succeed, keep pushing."
"You two stop deluding yourselves!"
Shen Mirui suddenly raised her volume, leading to coughing from heavy injury.
"Puff."
Right away, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
For Qin Chen, watching felt like sharp needles stabbing his heart.
He placed his hand on Shen Mirui’s back, channeling the power of Medical Saint into her body.
Shen Mirui adjusted and continued: "We’re all too hurt right now, especially me."
"If we encounter the Blood Spirit Demon Clan again, we’d surely die."
"Conversely, if you two leave, there’s still a glimmer of hope, because right now I’m a burden to you, do you understand?"
Qin Chen and Lin Songyun exchanged a glance, Qin Chen shook his head at Lin Songyun.
The two didn’t speak.
"Do you understand?"
Shen Mirui repeated seeing their silence.
While treating Shen Mirui, Qin Chen said: "Senior sister, we understand, more than anyone, that’s why you must stop talking now."
Shen Mirui’s eyes moistened slightly, yet she tried not to let Qin Chen and Lin Songyun see, promptly lowering her head.
Outside, the rain poured violently, hitting the ground with thunderous sounds.
Sometimes, cold winds blew in from outside the cave, involuntarily causing chills.
Shen Mirui murmured: "You two are really foolish."
Qin Chen and Lin Songyun both displayed bright smiles, Qin Chen said: "That’s how foolish we are, do what you may, complaining won’t help."
"So foolish."
Shen Mirui muttered, suddenly her gaze fixated.
She saw Qin Chen’s hands.
What kind of hands were those?
Bloody and tattered, gushing blood, the hand bones visibly shattered into many pieces.
Noticing her gaze, Qin Chen drew his hands behind him, but Shen Mirui grabbed them.
She stared at his bloody hands.
Tears inevitably fell from Shen Mirui’s eyes.
