Chapter 367 - The City of Caves(Part-3) (2/2)

Daniella bowed slightly at that as she spoke, ”I know and I hate it.”

One of the cultivators that looked old enough to be someone's great grandfather spoke as he stroked his beard, ”Daoist brother is resourceful and strong I do not believe he will fall so easily.”

Meanwhile Frozen Ocean and Zywia both had fought against numerous beasts that attacked them, but as they moved towards Ryuu's direction they found more and more corpses of the beasts, when all of sudden they noticed a large dark cloud near the horizon, a brilliant flash accompanied by a large boom followed soon after, as they hurried towards that direction while slaughtering what remained of the beast as they neared the epic center of the blast they were greeted by few miles of scorched earth, the entire part of the desert seemed like made up of steel smoking molten hot glass with a familiar smoldering carcass at the middle.

The giant carcass belong to a certain leader of the horde that had attacked them, Zywia grinned back at Frozen Ocean as she spoke, ”See I told you he would win.”

Frozen Ocean rolled her eyes as she spoke, ”Of course you said that as soon we began to follow this bloody trail, but now where is he?”

Zywia frowned at that they did not have to wait long as they found a kneeling Ryuu a good few distance from the epic center of the blast kneeling on the ground looking a bit worst for the wear, as they neared they felt something wrong with Ryuu.

”Ryuu? What happened are you alright? Ryuu answer me?”, a voice came to his ears which made his blood freeze with fear.

He turned to see both Zywia and Frozen Ocean looking towards him with concern in their face, before another bout of pain racked through his body making wince as he placed his hand over his heard.

Zywia was by his side as she quickly patted him on his back worried about Ryuu's heath only for him to collapse in a coughing fit as he quickly placed his hand over his mouth he vomited blood, but unlike normal reddish colored life fluid it was more like some putrid blackish substance.

Seeing him like that made both of their blood to freeze as Frozen Ocean was quickly by his side, as Ryuu managed to control her coughing fit his voice sounded hoarse Frozen Ocean quickly held her bottle of water to Ryuu's lips as he drank from it like someone who had not even had a sip in ages.

Frozen Ocean bit her lips as she spoke, ”He has a slight temperature, something is not right we have to get him help quickly.”

Zywia nodded at that as they tried to carry him he stopped them, ”Please don't, I do not wish for others to know, please. I will be fine if I get some rest.”

Ryuu's voice sounded incredibly weak, shocking the duo greatly as Zywia quickly spoke, ”Do not worry Ryuu there are many strong and wise cultivators with us they can help you please let us help you.”

Ryuu gave her a small smile as he spoke, ”Thank for that sister Zywia, but I am sorry there is no one here who can help me.”

Frozen Ocean was the one who spoke hurriedly at his declaration, ”Brother Ryuu please tell us how did it happen did the leader of the creatures did something to you, we can definitely find some cure we can heal you.”

Her voice had a note of desperation in them, the time he had spend with Ryuu had brought them all closer to each other and seeing him like that made her heart ache.

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”No one can help me sister no one can, that day when I said I had completely sealed the poison I had lied, I only have half a decade to live and using a Forbidden Technique simply..*Cough* *Cough*”, Ryuu could not finish the sentence as he broke into another coughing fit as more blood flowed from his mouth, as the duo looked at him with their eyes widen with alarm.

”Yo Brother True-Spear, I hope everything is well here.”

True-Spear turned towards the speaker as he speaker as he spoke, ”Ah Brother Ryuu welcome back, the stunt you pulled saved many lives but we were all worried when you did not arrive for so long and I was about to form a party to go on search for you.”

Ryuu smiled at him as he spoke, ”Sorry for making you all worry, the battle with the leader was tiring and I was forced to take rest to recuperate a bit.”

True-Spear nodded towards him as he spoke, ”Well you are back now so go and rest who knows when another horde might pop up.”

His words made every grimaced except the absent minded duo that had just arrived with Ryuu.
