Chapter 133: Escape

As Su Jingzhen fell from the treetops to the ground, he suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten slightly.

Without any hesitation, he quickly identified the direction of the canyon and headed towards it.

He had no intention of confronting the person in black or fighting back.

The blood qi power of the third level of Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo converged on the Surging Spring acupoints of his feet.

With each step he took, he could leap several yards forward.

He didn’t know who the person in black was or what their intentions were, but he didn’t dare to gamble.

He didn’t want to leave his fate in someone else’s hands.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, even if it meant risking his life, he wanted to control his own destiny.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen was completely focused, with only one goal in mind: to escape into the canyon.

Never before had his conviction been so unwavering.

Meanwhile, the person in black on the treetops, upon seeing Su Jingzhen desperately trying to escape, smiled faintly.

“Not a bad reaction, but trying to escape from me might be a bit difficult.”

With his spiritual sense fully open, he chose not to fly using a tool but instead swiftly chased after Su Jingzhen on the treetops above the dense forest.

With a casual hand gesture, he formed several sharp illusory flying swords in the void around him.

“Go!”

The flying swords were extremely sharp, shooting towards Su Jingzhen who was fleeing.

Feeling the fierce wind behind him, Su Jingzhen’s heart raced with nervousness.

Just as he heard the sound of branches breaking beside him, he kicked off with his right foot and rolled to the left, rolling out three zhang away.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As he narrowly avoided the attack, three large pits appeared where he had just been, and a nearby tree as thick as a water bucket was snapped in half.

The shattered wood debris hit Su Jingzhen, instantly causing several wounds on his body, and blood flowed out immediately.

However, the pain he felt only made his mind clearer.

At this moment, it was a fight for his life. After all, with the presence of the Golden Finger, his future looked bright.

To die at this moment would be extremely regrettable.

Taking advantage of the impact from the explosion just now, Su Jingzhen continued to scramble through the dense forest, rolling and crawling.

He chose routes where the trees were dense.

The person above him continued to walk on the treetops, knowing that his line of sight would be greatly affected.

“Your speed is quite impressive. Even among those at the same cultivation level of Body Cultivation, you are outstanding.”

“But I want to see how many waves you can withstand.”

The person in black chuckled lightly as he continued to walk swiftly, and several powerful illusory sword qi shot towards Su Jingzhen.

“Thunder!”

In the next moment, the person in black lightly uttered a word “Thunder”.

Suddenly, a small dark cloud formed in the void ahead of Su Jingzhen as he ran, followed by several lightning bolts striking down.

Once again, Su Jingzhen felt the fierceness behind him.

As the branches shattered, he suddenly lunged forward, like a carp entering the water.

Each time he dodged in a different direction, making it difficult for the opponent to predict his movements.

However, after rolling several zhang forward, he suddenly heard thunderous noises above his head.

Instinctively looking up, he saw several trees above him being shattered by the power of lightning.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen had no way to dodge.

The lightning struck him instantly, sending his body flying several zhang away.

He crashed into a large tree and came to a stop, blood gushing from his mouth, his body charred black.

The wounds he had suffered earlier were now smoking.

It was fortunate that his physical strength had reached the third level of Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.

If an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator had received such attacks, they would likely have perished on the spot.

“So powerful!”

Su Jingzhen sighed inwardly, feeling increasingly desperate, but he did not choose to give up.

In an instant, he took out the remaining two Breaking Through Adversity Pills from his body and threw them into his mouth.

In addition to helping with breakthroughs, the Breaking Through Adversity Pills also contained some strength and had some healing effects.

After taking the pills, while the opponent needed some time for the next technique, he didn’t hesitate and continued to run madly towards the canyon.

It’s said that one’s potential can be seen when they’re at their wit’s end.

Under the pressure of life and death and the violent power unleashed by the two Breaking Through Adversity Pills, his speed actually increased slightly.

“Oh?”

“You are quite resilient! I underestimated you.”

The person in black had originally thought that his thunder spell would bring this chase to an end.

Su Jingzhen’s resilience at this moment surprised him somewhat.

“Good kid, you’ve piqued my interest.”

With his footsteps moving again, he continued to tread lightly on the treetops.

His eyes were locked firmly on Su Jingzhen, who was darting left and right through the dense forest.

From time to time, he manipulated his fingers, and the powerful spells attacked Su Jingzhen.

However, each time, Su Jingzhen evaded in unexpected directions.

Due to his current state he moved like a startled rabbit.

“What a crafty kid.”

In the midst of this chase, the person in black actually began to admire Su Jingzhen somewhat.

However, for Su Jingzhen at this moment, although he successfully dodged the main attacks aimed at him every time, he still suffered from splash damage.

The number of wounds on his body was countless by now.

His physical strength was depleted by more than half once again.

The energy from the two Breaking Through Adversity Pills had also dissipated.

His speed was even slower than it was at the beginning.

Moreover, there was still a distance to the canyon from here.

“Am I really going to die here today?”

A strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart once again.

At this moment, the storage bracelet in his hand flickered again.

A jade bottle appeared in his hand.

It was none other than the untouched body tempering liquid!

“Pain is still better than dying here directly.”

In the midst of his continued sprint, Su Jingzhen made a decision in an instant.

He opened the jade bottle and drank a third of its contents in one gulp.

Even in such a critical situation, he didn’t dare to drink the entire bottle at once.

In that case, even if the mysterious person in black didn’t make a move, he would explode and die on his own.

As the body tempering liquid entered his throat, the familiar sensation of pain spread once again.

At the same time, an extremely violent force surged through his limbs.

That intense pain seemed to turn into a desire for survival.

The surging blood and qi power erupted from his Surging Spring acupoints once again.

He shot out towards the direction of the canyon like an arrow.

“Good kid, you actually have more tricks up your sleeve! You can still hold on?”

“Interesting…”
