Chapter 448 - Thank You (1/2)

The man clutched his stomach and tried to stop the bleeding, but the blood just kept flowing out.

'I will die anytime now if I don't find any medication,' he thought. 'How are these kids not hurt after taking so much damage. Did I not hit them? I'm sure I did. Then… do they have medicine?'

The man started to get greedy. ”Yes, that must be it,” he said. ”I will kill you and find medicine for myself.”

”Get ready,” Wan Li shouted.

The man suddenly leaped forward and swung down the spear. However, midway through, he lost his consciousness once more.

However, the very next second, it was back once more. He was getting used to this happening and immediately focused back on heating.

Wan Li had thankfully stepped out of the way and hit the man to the face with his sword.

The man grunted at the pain, but there was not even a cut. The damage was akin to being hit on the wrist with a ruler.

It hurt just enough to make him make a sound. ”Dammit, which one of you keeps attacking my mind, I can't even see you move,” the man said.

”Come here and give me your storage bags. I need the pills,” he shouted and ran towards Wan Li once again.

Alex needed to keep his spiritual sea at least mostly full, so he could check for danger.

He ran forward and teleported in at the right time to block one of the attacks and was thrown away.

Wan Li attacked the man with rocks and also sent out slashes. The man took everything head-on, but grunted in pain.

Alex quickly got up and teleported in to take another attack with his sword this time.

”Urghh!” he grunted at the force. It was quite a strong force, but—

'It's nowhere near the level of what a True Realm cultivator should be. This feels more like he's in the upper realm of Mind Tempering realm,' Alex thought.

'I can do this!'

He fought against the man for a little longer and was steadily realizing that his strength really wasn't very high.

'Is it because he's injured?' he thought, but he couldn't get any answers.

The man was slowly starting to lose it. ”No! I don't want to die. Give me a pill! I don't want to lose my talent!” he shouted.

”What?” Alex was surprised. 'A player?' he thought.

”AAARGGH! Give me a pill!” he shouted and started waving around the spear with no rhyme or reason. Alex teleported out, but Wan Li was hell-bent on fighting, so he didn't leave.

The two clashes weapons, but it was very clear who was going to win here.

”Goddammit! Brother Li, why aren't you leaving? You will only die,” Alex shouted.

”No, I will kill him, and then I will leave,” Wan Li said.

Alex wanted to leave, but not while Wan Li's stubborn ass was still fighting.

”Shit!” he screamed and teleported back in to fight. Neither of their hits was dealing much damage.

Alex used different slashes, Penta Sword techniques, Iron Fist punch, Palm of the sun, and even tried using his fire to attack, but they didn't work.

His damage was high, but not high enough to penetrate through that white film of light covering the man's body.

They both got into close combat and started hitting the man who was just wildly swinging around his spear.

Alex was about to go in for another attack when he noticed something behind him.

Suddenly, massive roots sprung out from the ground and attacked both Alex and Wan Li. Alex could see the attack through his spiritual sense, so he dodged, but Wan Li was struck on the back of his head.

The roots were massive, and they suddenly started constricting Wan Li's body like they were snakes wrapping around their prey.

Wan Li tried to use fire to burn the roots, but they just didn't take any damage. He was about to try and use lava, but he lost consciousness.

Wan Li was out, but the roots did not stop moving. Alex could start hearing Wan Li's body getting wrapped tighter and tighter.

”Die! You goddamn NPC. Give me your loot,” the man shouted maniacally.

”Stop!” Alex shouted and went in to attack, but the man didn't stop.

”You die too!” he shouted and roots started wrapping around Alex as well.

”Dammit,” Alex shouted and teleported out.

”Fuck! How do you keep teleporting? Do you have a skill? Give it to me,” he shouted and started swinging at Alex.

At the same time, Wan Li was getting crushed slowly. 'Shit! I will have to make him stop,' Alex thought and launched another Heaven's impact but it did no damage basically aside from giving him a headache.

”Damn you! So you were the one with the mental skill. I will kill you and get that too,” he shouted.

Alex felt like he was trapped. His opponent wasn't going easy on him, and he couldn't leave either due to his friend's life being in danger.

”Fuck!” he said. Suddenly, his dull sword started to glow slightly white and Alex attacked.

TING

The man felt a far greater force from his opponent now. ”What?” he was surprised.

Alex calmed his mind as much as he could with only a single thought being there.

'CUT'

He dashed and slashed at the man and nearly ripped the sword out of his hands.

He kept attacking and the man could feel more and more pain as the attacks landed on him.

”What's going on? How are you so strong suddenly? Fuck! Did you break through? Screw it, I will do it too,” he said and pressed something in midair.

Suddenly, Alex felt his opponents' cultivation elevate a realm higher and frowned. 'Did he breakthrough just now?'

He was horrified. He had never come across a fight where his opponent broke through in his cultivation mid-fight.

'This is going to be annoying,' he thought and started attacking once more.

The man too started attacking once more to quickly kill Alex and find some pills. He couldn't even leave without the pill even if he wanted to now.

The attacks were hard and Alex was having a hard time damaging the man. He could wait it out and the man would surely die due to the blood loss, but Wan Li would die sooner if he waited.

His sword was glowing bright yellow by now with a hue of white light around it as he weaved through the man's attacks and hit him all over.

Still, he wasn't hurting the man enough to even make him scream out. 'That untimely breakthrough made him stronger, shit!” he thought.

He needed to up his power too, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough Qi to breakthrough right now.

He continued fighting but he was slowly losing the fight now.
