How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 142 - 0: Shaking Off a Powerful Enemy

Boom!

A terrifying dark red flame and black light wave instantly engulfed Mei Changqing within a radius of nearly thirty feet.

Zzzt!

Chen Yu had, in the moment he threw the "Yin Fire Pearl," powered his heart for a leap, darting toward the direction outside the snake cave.

As he sprinted through the air, he faintly heard Mei Changqing's shocked and angry roars behind him.

It was confirmed.

Mei Changqing, caught in the core power circle of the Yin Fire Pearl's explosion, even if he immediately deployed his Protective True Qi, could hardly escape unscathed.

"The most the Yin Fire Pearl can do is heavily injure Mei Changqing..."

Chen Yu's expression tightened as he accelerated his sprint out of the cave.

Just then.

"Boom!" sounded.

The mountain wall behind him shook and roared, seemingly the section of the tunnel in the cave had been collapsed by the Yin Fire Pearl.

Huh!

Chen Yu's face registered surprise.

Logically, the mountain walls in the snake cave were extremely hard, normally the Meridian Passage couldn't scratch them.

It seemed a bit far-fetched for the Yin Fire Pearl to destroy a section of the tunnel.

In actuality, Chen Yu overlooked two points.

Firstly, the tunnel in the cave, being relatively narrow, while the explosion of the Yin Fire Pearl could encompass a radius of nearly thirty feet.

In the confined area, the power of the Yin Fire Pearl was more concentrated.

Secondly.

Before Chen Yu threw the Yin Fire Pearl, he had powered up an amplified version of the "Copper Lion Roar."

That roar vibrated the walls of the tunnel, creating a resonance that led to some cracks in the walls.

Hence.

A single Yin Fire Pearl, in a chain reaction, had blown away a small section of the tunnel.

...

Wow!

Enduring a hit from the Yin Fire Pearl, Mei Changqing, in his shock and rage, spat out a mouthful of blood; his Protective True Qi shattered, and even the medium-grade treasure armor turned into a heap of charred fragments.

Mei Changqing swayed, his complexion pale, having sustained no light injury.

Boom! Rumble!

Before he could catch his breath, a pile of collapsing rocks and stones instantly buried him.

"No..."

Mei Changqing let out a shocked cry, his True Qi bursting out wildly, but still he was buried in the rubble.

At the same moment.

Demon Clown and the armored warrior were separately pursuing Senior Sister Yi and Yi Yunfei.

A few dozen feet from the cave entrance, they heard the rumbling noise from behind.

Of course.

They didn't hear Mei Changqing's voice and assumed it was damage caused by fighting.

The two hesitated briefly but then decided to follow the prior arrangement with Mei Changqing, taking responsibility to chase the two from the Water Moon Sect.

As agreed.

Chen Yu was left to Mei Changqing alone.

They were very confident in this arrangement.

After all, the Bone Demon Palace's top talent in the Qi Transformation Realm, dealing with someone in the Mid-stage of Organ Refining, was like capturing something without a fight.

"Split up and run!"

Senior Sister Yi and Yi Yunfei exchanged glances after running to the cave entrance.

What the Water Moon Sect pair truly feared was Mei Changqing.

If Chen Yu, alone, were caught by Mei Changqing, he likely wouldn't last more than a couple of exchanges before being killed.

If Mei Changqing caught up to them, their deaths were certain.

If they split up, at least their overall chance of survival would be considerably higher.

Little did they know, the Mei Changqing they feared in their hearts had been severely tricked by Chen Yu in the cave.

Seeing Senior Sister Yi and Yi Yunfei split up.

"One for each of us."

Demon Clown and the armored man exchanged glances.

Senior Sister Yi and Yi Yunfei had already suffered serious injuries in the cave battle, significantly weakening their combat strength.

Among them.

Demon Clown went after Senior Sister Yi, while the armored man pursued Yi Yunfei.

The two had just chased for a few feet when.

Whoosh!

Another extremely fast figure streaked out from within the cave, its speed evidently above the four fugitives.

The Bone Demon Palace pair subconsciously thought it was Mei Changqing.

"Chen Yu!"

Demon Clown, with a glimpse from the corner of his eye at the blurry figure, felt a sudden shock.

Could it be?

Mei Changqing, with his strength, had failed to stop Chen Yu?

When Chen Yu ran out of the cave entrance.

Gurgle!

A disheveled and bedraggled youth, covered in blood, crawled out from the rubble.

"Chen... Yu!"

Mei Changqing's eyes revealed an icy and bone-chilling coldness as he uttered each word forcefully.

Whoosh!

An extremely potent, pale sinister aura surged from his body, forming a black whirlwind that crushed the rocks around him.

At the same moment.

Mei Changqing produced two transparent and brilliant elixirs, swallowing them in one gulp.

Very soon.

His pale complexion began to ease.

"With these two precious elixirs to help, my injuries and vitality will recover significantly in a short time..."

Mei Changqing's face showed a twinge of pain.

Whoosh!

A residual image streaked by, as Mei Changqing dashed past the ruined tunnel region.

His speed shot to the extreme, despite his heavy injuries, far surpassing any of the promising disciples in the Blood Burial Garden.

...

Two hours later.

In a dense forest within the Blood Burial Garden.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures, one chasing the other.

The person in front, a tall and stalwart youth.

The pursuer behind was a fine-looking youth with long black hair, but his clothes were torn, with dried blood on his body, his complexion pale and gloomy.

These two individuals were naturally Chen Yu and Mei Changqing.

"Heh heh, Mei Changqing! You've been pursuing me for one or two hours without properly recovering from your injuries. Aren't you afraid of developing a chronic condition that will hinder your advancement to the Guiyuan Realm?"

Chen Yu sneered with laughter.

Throughout the escape, he led his pursuer in circles, intentionally passing through areas dense with obstacles.

Even though his dark cyan boots aided him and he could accelerate with his heart's stored energy, he was still slightly slower than Mei Changqing.

It should be known that Chen Yu's inner breath was now exceptionally refined, comparable to the peak of the Organ Refining Stage, and his movement technique had long surpassed the limitations of his original level.

With the added power from his heart's stored energy, he was more than capable of contending with the Infinite Thief.

However, Mei Changqing, because of his injuries, could only muster eighty to ninety percent of his peak speed.

Gurgle!

As Chen Yu fled, he quickly took out a small bottle and drank a mouthful of a crystal-clear liquid.

In an instant, a suction force surged from Chen Yu's heart, rapidly absorbing the medicinal effect of the "Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yu's vitality was restored, and his spirit climbed to its peak as he continued to accelerate using his heart's stored energy.

"This cunning little thief..."

Mei Changqing gritted his teeth.

During the relentless pursuit, he could feel his injuries threatening to flare up.

Throughout the chase, he had a slight speed advantage.

But Chen Yu never directly confronted him, instead, he used the terrain and various obstacles in the Blood Burial Garden to offset Mei Changqing's assaults.

At one point, Chen Yu deliberately ran into groups of fierce beasts, even drawing out Qi Transformation Realm-level Fierce Beast Kings to create chaos.

Nevertheless, Mei Changqing, who had pursued the Infinite Thief before and learned from the experience, was well-prepared. He firmly locked onto Chen Yu, determined to capture and kill him.

He had originally planned to whittle down Chen Yu's strength, slowly wearing him out with his advantage in the Qi Transformation Realm.

Because Mei Changqing found that Chen Yu seemed to be using some secret technique to dramatically increase his burst speed, he believed the other wouldn't last.

But two hours had passed, and Chen Yu showed no signs of exhaustion at all.

What was even more baffling was that Chen Yu had obtained the legendary "Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid," which allowed him to recover his vitality and minor injuries in an instant with just a small sip.

Every hour, Chen Yu would take another small sip.

It seemed that the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid's effects on Chen Yu were astoundingly beneficial.

Furthermore, Chen Yu's recuperative ability and self-healing power from his robust constitution far exceeded those of ordinary people.

Mei Changqing, who occasionally resorted to long-range attacks during the pursuit, did hit Chen Yu at times.

But not only was the latter's physical defense strong, but he also cunningly used various obstacles to minimize the damage as much as possible.

For someone with Chen Yu's robust constitution, minor injuries were quickly healed.

Mei Changqing realized this.

"Could it be that this kid possesses a legendary bloodline constitution?"

Mei Changqing mused to himself.

...

Along the way.

The two of them whizzed past some disciples from the three sects or the Bone Demon Palace with incredible speed.

"Mei Changqing... Chen Yu?"

Disciples from both camps witnessed their pursuit and were stunned.

Their speed was simply too fast!

Ordinary disciples, even if they wanted to help one of the two, were powerless to do so.

Atop a mountain forest.

Kun Ling, Fang Haofei, Tong Yuling, Xie Jing, and several other Yunyue Sect disciples were dealing with nearly ten Organ Refining Stage long-armed apes, one of which, the largest, was close to the Qi Transformation Realm.

These long-armed apes were guarding a towering tree that bore some blood-red fruits.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, two incredibly fast figures shot past nearby, one after the other.

So fast!

Kun Ling looked closely and exclaimed in shock: "Qi Transformation Realm... it's Mei Changqing!"

"The one in front, seems to be Junior Brother Chen!"

Fang Haofei and Tong Yuling exchanged a look of shock and concern.

"It is Junior Brother Chen! But it looks like Mei Changqing is in a sorry state. He seems very ragged and angry, and his clothes are torn as if he's been seriously hurt."

Kun Ling said in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that Chen Yu's speed had reached such a level, and it seemed that Mei Changqing was at a disadvantage, unable to do anything about it in the short term.

"Should we help Junior Brother Chen?"

Tong Yuling asked.

"Help?"

Fang Haofei rolled his eyes: "With their speed, we simply can't catch up. Just Mei Changqing alone could wipe us all out."

"Right now, we are struggling just to handle these long-armed apes. If we want to take the legendary Blood Essence Fruit from the tree, we will have to pay some price."

Kun Ling said with a wry smile and a shake of his head.

Several hours later.

Chen Yu maintained peak speed until he reached a lake.

There was no longer any sign of pursuit behind him.

Whew~

Chen Yu let out a long sigh of relief. His body, especially his legs, felt slightly fatigued.

Sustaining the heart's stored energy to increase his burst power put a substantial strain on his body.

An hour earlier, as his injuries gradually worsened and his vitality was overly depleted, Mei Changqing finally gave up the chase.

After all, Mei Changqing had also exerted a great deal of effort fighting a horde of snakes and had taken on the Snake King, which had severely depleted his vitality.

Scrape!

Chen Yu found a hidden hollow near the lake, killed the fierce beast that occupied it, and sat down inside.

Subsequently, he took out a large, blood-drenched Snake King Pill, with a hint of joy on his face.

Without hesitation, Chen Yu took out the Hundred-year-old Earth Spirit Ginseng and other items and prepared a bottle of high-quality Body Refining liquid.

"This bottle of Body Refining liquid should last me for three days. Advancing to Copper Bone Mastery shouldn't be a problem..."

Chen Yu anticipated eagerly.

Once he achieved Copper Bone Mastery, he would be invincible in the Qi Transformation Realm based solely on his physical strength.

What's more, his robust constitution far exceeded the Copper Bone Mastery of others, and with additional methods at his disposal, even an average postnatal Qi Transformation practitioner could be contended with.

This would be of much more significant practical significance and battle power increase than his promotion to the Late Stage of Organ Refining.
