Immortality Begins With Internal Breathing-Chapter 353: Explosion (I)

"Martial Uncle!" Jiang Huo noticed the commotion on Lin Zheyu's side, and his expression changed. He could sense the powerful aura of the person rushing toward Lin Zheyu, who was at least an expert of the Force Transformation realm.

"Martial Uncle drew that man away for our sake! Damn it, how could there be a Force Transformation realm yao martial artist appearing here?" Jiang Huo was both shocked and furious.

He had just seen that Lin Zheyu was originally heading toward Soaring Serpent Mountain, but halfway through, he abruptly changed direction. It was obvious that he did not want to lead that Force Transformation realm expert there. Although their defensive line here was strong enough to restrain a Force Transformation realm expert, if a real battle broke out, the casualties would be extremely severe.

Martial Uncle, you must not let anything happen to you!

Jiang Huo was extremely anxious.

After cutting down a ferocious beast that had slipped through the net, he immediately took out a signal flare from his chest. Once lit, a streak of orange fire shot straight into the sky.

***

After charging into the swarm of ferocious beasts, Lin Zheyu was like a fish entering water. His lightness and movement techniques had already been cultivated to perfection. In a straight line, he was not much faster than Zhang Mo and Duan Ping. However, relying on his powerful movement techniques and using the large number of ferocious beasts as cover, he used only 60% of his strength and left the two behind.

"Heh... So this is all you've got. You still can't catch up." Lin Zheyu even had the leisure to mock Zhang Mo and Duan Ping behind him.

"Damn it!" Zhang Mo cursed angrily, his expression extremely ugly.

"I told you not to act rashly just now, but you wouldn't listen," Duan Ping said irritably.

If Zhang Mo had not acted impulsively earlier, they could have waited in the shadows for a good opportunity and likely succeeded quickly.

"Shut up! He's just a brat in the Marrow Refining realm. So what if his movement techniques are good? I want to see how long he can keep this up," Zhang Mo said with a ferocious grin.

As they advanced, large numbers of ferocious beasts rushed past them. Zhang Mo was extremely irritable. Whenever a beast blocked his path, he threw out a punch without hesitation and blasted it apart. The two mingled within the beast horde, locking tightly onto Lin Zheyu's direction and giving him no chance to slip away.

Sensing the commotion behind him, Lin Zheyu's lips curved slightly upward. From the way the two struck down the beasts during the chase, although Zhang Mo and Duan Ping were strong, they were still considerably weaker than he was now.

All that effort I spent on the Blood Qi realm was not wasted, Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Lin Zheyu slowed his speed slightly, pretending that his stamina was rapidly declining, while also preventing the two from giving up halfway through the chase. He intended to fight them and test his current approximate strength level truly. To avoid attracting others' attention, he first needed to move farther away from Soaring Serpent Mountain. Under their frenzied pursuit, he grew farther and farther from Soaring Serpent Mountain, quickly running more than a dozen kilometers away.

Whoosh.

A hidden weapon shot from Zhang Mo's hand and whistled toward Lin Zheyu. Lin Zheyu's figure swayed, and he easily dodged the attack. This place was far from the space-time node, so the influence was much weaker, and there were far fewer ferocious beasts. Without the interference of beasts scattering in all directions, Zhang Mo and the other's speed increased slightly, and they drew closer and closer to Lin Zheyu. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Hehe... Keep running! I was going to give you a quick death, but now I've changed my mind!" Duan Ping said with a sinister laugh.

At this moment, he no longer looked human. Duan Ping's robe had torn apart, his flesh swelling, enlarging, and mutating like foam that kept multiplying. Countless strands of black-red energy enveloped him. His head deformed and split, his face protruding forward as savage fangs grew out. He looked like a terrifying, ferocious beast that had taken human form.

This is the spot, Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

This place was remote and only slightly affected by the beast tide, making it a good location to act. However, he did not stop immediately. Instead, he continued rushing forward, his speed gradually slowing as if his stamina was about to be exhausted.

"Don't interfere. Leave him to me. Damn it. A brat at the Marrow Refining realm almost got away," Zhang Mo said to Duan Ping with a ferocious grin.

They had chased Lin Zheyu for so long and still failed to catch him. In the end, it was only because the other's stamina gave out and his blood qi was exhausted that Zhang Mo gradually caught up. It made him feel humiliated.

"Fine," Duan Ping said calmly.

However, his pitch-black pupils as he looked at Lin Zheyu were filled with boundless ferocity, brutality, and killing intent. This terrifying savagery and killing intent seemed not to affect his mind. Amid the ferocity on his face, there was a trace of calmness, which looked somewhat eerie. He stopped moving and guarded against any experts that might appear nearby. Duan Ping guessed that a powerful expert was protecting Lin Zheyu, yet when they had acted just now, he had not detected the slightest anomaly.

Are they hiding in the shadows, or did they fail to follow?

Even if that person had followed, with him and Zhang Mo joining forces, they were confident of killing the opponent. Duan Ping guessed that the expert protecting Lin Zheyu was not very strong. Otherwise, there would have been no need to flee earlier. If that expert had truly been powerful, then when he joined hands with Gu Ye before, Duan Ping himself might have fallen. Therefore, he concluded that the protector's strength should not be that great.

"Hehe! Die!" Zhang Mo laughed viciously as he arrived behind Lin Zheyu.

The black-red energy on his body surged like a terrifying giant beast, opening its savage maw to bite toward Lin Zheyu. Feeling the dreadful aura from behind, Lin Zheyu's face showed fear, unwillingness, and despair. Seeing a powerful genius about to fall into his hands made Zhang Mo feel exhilarated. He enjoyed the despair, unwillingness, and fear that appeared on a genius's face at the moment of their fall. The distance between Zhang Mo and Lin Zheyu grew shorter and shorter. Black-red energy covered his right hand, forming a massive palm that slammed down toward Lin Zheyu's head.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Zhang Mo sensed that something was wrong. The fear, despair, and unwillingness on Lin Zheyu's face vanished, replaced by a hint of mockery.

Could this guy be a Force Transformation realm expert? Is he pretending to be weak?

Such thoughts flashed through Zhang Mo's mind as the black-red energy within him surged instantly.

Before he could react further, a terrifying momentum qi erupted from Lin Zheyu. Golden blood qi spread outward and condensed into a five-clawed golden dragon.

Boom.

The Great Strength Vajra Fist blasted out at an unbelievable speed, breaking the sound barrier and producing a sonic boom. The five-clawed golden dragon coiled around Lin Zheyu's arm, roaring as his fist smashed toward Zhang Mo's chest. The instant he sensed something wrong, Zhang Mo frantically mobilized the black-red energy within his body and condensed an energy shield over his surface.

Bang! Pop.

The fist struck the energy shield. The unmatched force shattered the shield's defense with a light popping sound. Zhang Mo's expression turned horrified. His descending palm was about to hit Lin Zheyu when another hand seized his wrist tightly. His entire arm was immobilized. The strength was even more terrifying than his own.

This is a Marrow Refining realm martial artist? Damn it, is this guy a barbarian?

Feeling Lin Zheyu's terrifying strength, Zhang Mo was utterly horrified.

Lin Zheyu's fist easily broke through the energy shield on his body and continued forward with unstoppable force, piercing through Zhang Mo's chest. Such terrifying strength and physique could only belong to barbarians who worshiped the Barbarian God and cultivated barbarian bodies.
