Chapter 10 - 10: Predicament (2/2)
[FLASHBACK END]
As Xiao Yan jumped tree by tree, he couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the girl. Having keep up with him after a whole hour and even continuing to use her spirit essence this entire time without rest is just stupidly unfair.
In fact, he would have already dropped dead half an hour ago in exhaustion of both stamina and spirit power if it weren't for the soldier pills he kept digesting.
He knew that if he keep on eating those pills he would slowly build resistance against it's effects until it would no longer affect him.
For now, eating his fourth soldier pill, he would have grit his teeth and run. Run unlike he has ever done before.
Stomping his right feet on the ground he build momentum and sprinted forward. Golden flames flickered past him before it disappeared. Xiao Yan had dodged another attack by the girl.
”COME BACK HERE AND RECEIVE YOUR PUNISHMENT AS A MAN!” The girl practically roared as she chased after Xiao Yan. Golden flames coming out of her two palms compressing into two basketball sized fireballs.
Unhesitatingly, she jumped forward and with the grace and elegance of a berserker, she threw them towards Xiao Yan's back.
Xiao Yan, who was unknowingly running towards the center part of the forest, heard the roar of the little girl and immediately poured every spirit power he had in store into his legs. Building momentum, he burst again in a sprint forward like a rocket, dodging the incoming golden fireballs. However, the blast caused Xiao Yan to be blown away several meters away from his location. He was just a moment away of crashing into a tree before he came to his senses and quickly maneuvered his body mid-air and calling out his spirit essence, he had his spirit take the hit.
”Oww, damn it!” Xiao Yan's body immediately hit the ground, groaning in pain. The blow from the tree and the fireball explosions was not a great experience. Not only that but his two small legs having had to bear the pressure of added strength for the last couple of hours couldn't handle it anymore and had fractured themselves the moment Xiao Yan had dropped to the ground. Causing Xiao Yan to feel immense pain and cursed out loud.
”F.U.C.K!! OH HOLY SHIT MOTHER OF JESUS! THIS HURTS!!!” Xiao Yan stumbled forward onto the ground face first as he cradled his two broken legs. Tears streaming down his face as he cried. But he gritted his teeth once more.
Looking back he found a golden meteor coming towards him just a couple meters away from him. Except it wasn't a meteor. But a demonic being set out to kill him.
”Seriously why do I always get to meet the easily most pissed off, strong and crazy girls in my life?!” Xiao Yan mumbled. Suddenly his vision turned dark for a moment and the next thing he saw is a giant bloomed and beautiful green lotus.
