12 Chapter 12 – Reaching Seventh Stage of Body Purification (2/2)

He moved left and right in swift movements among trees like he was born and lived in the forest for years. He heard crashing sounds and turned while running; he saw the Warthog was rushing towards him in a straight line crashing the trees on its way with a mad rage. He complained to himself ”I just threw a few fireballs at you, why are you chasing me with madness like I took your precious treasure.”

Little did Zhu Xuan know that when it was led by Cai family to the lake it saw the other dead warthog, which was its mate, and became extremely mad. It thought the Bai family people where the one that killed them. It attacked them with ferocity and right when it was about to kill them all, Zhu Xuan attacked it and stopped it from killing them. It became insane in anger, lost all reason and started chasing him like crazy.

It gained on him and dashed towards him. He sidestepped to avoid it, but little did he expect it will fling its head on the side and hit him with its strong tusk. Zhu Xuan flew away and hit on a tree and fell down.

He got up, his left hand limp hanging on his side. His hand is broken and he can only use one hand now, and he had no idea how many bones got broken in his body; he felt pain all over his body. He cursed at how strong this warthog is, even though it is injured heavily and at the same level as the other warthog.

It charged towards him again, he used the tree and jumped away from it and threw a fireball at its face. It just left a burn mark at its face. He is heavily injured and his fighting strength greatly reduced. So the power of his fireball also in turn didn't do much damage. Before he can even throw another fireball, it charged and hit him again. He flew again and got up unsteadily with few more broken bones and blood all over his body.

He knew if he got hit once more by the warthog, he will absolutely die. He used the tress and hid behind them to disrupt its line of sight and dodging.While moving, he was thinking and suddenly a crazy idea formed in his head. He planned to breakthrough right now in the middle of the battle.

Seventh level is a major breakthrough point in body purification, just like fourth stage and tenth stage. This will heal his injuries due to breakthrough and give him more power to kill the warthog. But, usually cultivators sit in meditation and breakthrough, but breakthrough in middle of the middle has huge risk. He reassured himself ”If I don't risk it and breakthrough, I will definitely die. I might as well give it a shot.”

He took one of the blood Linghzi and swallowed it without a second thought and ran the Qi and essence through absorption mantra, while moving left and right behind the trees.

Energy rushed into his body from the blood Linghzi and the Qi around him like a tide, and he heard a bang sound. He reached the seventh stage of blood purification. His bones started mending and injuries healed at an astonishing speed. He felt itching on all the injured area and he felt his bones became denser and his blood changed to pure and dark red. He felt ten times more powerful than before and he also felt light and can move faster.

He didn't have time to analyse more of his body's changes because the warthog charged at him again. He dodged again and formed a shield using fire Qi and jumped up at its head. He used the shield as a cushion from its head hitting him and jumped on its back. He formed flaming fist on both his hands and hit its spine with all his force with both his hands few times with dark red flames.

He suddenly realised the flames are in dark red colour now. When he started practising, the flames were in orange colour. When he reached fifth stage, they changed their colour to red and now they are dark red.

He was shaken off his thoughts when the warthog moved its body to throw him off. He held on to it tight, and formed a big dark red hammer from his fire Qi which will give more power in its attack. He held the hammer, used heavy force and smashed it at the same place of the spine he was attacking earlier. He heard a breaking sound, and he swung his hammer again with even more force and crushed its spine completely.

Warthog fell down and crashed. It let out a roar of pain, tried to stand up but it couldn't because of it broken spine, much less move.

Zhu Xuan jumped from its back towards its head. He swung the hammer down and crushed its skull.
