Dashing Student-Chapter 714: Critically Injured, Life Hanging by a Thread
After casting the spell, Chen Nan's face was as pale as paper, feeling as though his body had fallen apart!
After all, this was a Taoist Mysterious Skill that could only be performed by those at the Foundation Establishment Stage. With only a Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation, forcing the spell not only drained his True Qi but also caused his meridians to break inch by inch under the strain of such powerful Daoist Skill!
Yet, he held onto his last breath, staggering towards the direction of the cave!
Just as he was about to enter the cave, he suddenly sensed something strange!
Turning his head, he saw among the remnants of the Gu Demon, a dark green Crystal Core pulsating slightly!
The surface of the Crystal Core was covered in cracks, yet it still exuded an evil aura!
"Not dead yet?" Chen Nan's pupils slightly contracted.
As he hesitated whether to strike again, the Crystal Core suddenly exploded, transforming into a green light and burrowing into the ground, disappearing!
"Cough, cough..." Chen Nan coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood, finally unable to hold on, he blacked out and fell forward!
In the last moment before losing consciousness, he felt himself caught by a pair of soft hands...
------
Uncertain of how much time had passed, Chen Nan slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry for some time before gradually clearing!
He found himself lying in a damp cave, with Hu Die's Miao clothing placed beneath him!
With every breath, a tearing pain radiated from his chest, his True Qi exhausted, and his meridians shattered like broken porcelain!
"Senior Chen! You're finally awake!" Hu Die rushed to his side, her once bright eyes now bloodshot, clearly having kept vigil for a long time!
She picked up a water jug, bringing it to Chen Nan's lips, and asked with concern, "How are your injuries?"
"How long was I unconscious?" Chen Nan asked weakly.
Hu Die: "A day and a night already!"
"I didn't expect so much time had passed!" Chen Nan struggled to sit up, but a metallic taste surged to his throat!
He looked within himself, seeing the King of Ten Thousand Gu curled in his Dantian, its entire body dim and devoid of light, with all six wings broken, entangled by dark green toxins, it had fallen into a deep slumber!
Chen Nan attempted to circulate his True Qi, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood!
The pain from the shattering meridians made his vision blur, nearly causing him to faint again!
Hu Die hurriedly supported him, her soft body trembling slightly!
"Senior, what should we do?" Hu Die's voice choked with emotion, she had thought they would find her father once they entered the cave, but the cave was empty, with no trace of her father!
Adding to that, Chen Nan's severe injuries left her at a loss!
Chen Nan suppressed the pain in his body, sitting cross-legged on the ground: "I will heal first, we'll discuss everything else once I've recovered from my injuries!"
With those words, he closed his eyes, meditated on the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman!
Yet, this time, Chen Nan was shocked to find that the Scripture seemed to have lost its effect!
No matter how much he chanted the Scripture, he couldn't feel any nature's spiritual energy!
Soon he understood, the Ten Thousand Mountains were shrouded in miasma and poisonous fog; hoping to sense nature's spiritual energy here was akin to a dream!
"Roar!"
Without warning, a loud rumble sounded from outside the cave, causing the ground to shake!
The stone wall shed dust, and the chilling roar of the Gu Demon echoed from afar!
It had found its way here!
Hu Die was full of fear: "It's all over now!"
Chen Nan also looked solemn, he didn't expect the situation to be this perilous. Initially, he thought that with his Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation, he could surely retreat unscathed after entering the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Who would have thought the danger here would exceed his expectations!
If he had known, he would have drawn more talismans to protect himself before entering the mountains!
But now, saying these things was meaningless!
Looking at Hu Die's anxious expression and hearing the increasingly louder roars, Chen Nan looked at her and awkwardly said: "I have a method to restore my strength!"
Hu Die immediately asked: "What method?"
"Dual Cultivation!" Chen Nan said, bearing his embarrassment: "The spiritual energy here in the Ten Thousand Mountains is severely lacking, I can't absorb nature's spiritual energy to recover cultivation, but the technique I cultivated is unique, I can recover my strength through Dual Cultivation with a woman!"
Hearing this, Hu Die's delicate body trembled slightly, her snowy white cheeks instantly blushing red, even her ears were tinged with an alluring pink hue!
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling softly, her cherry lips parted slightly, her voice as soft as a whisper: "Senior Chen, is what you say true?"
The roars of the Gu Demon outside the cave grew closer and the whole cavern shook, causing dust and small stones to fall!
Chen Nan forced himself to stand, but groaned in pain as his injuries flared, black blood seeping from the corners of his lips!
"There's no time!" he said, grabbing Hu Die's slender wrist, his palm hot, his gaze blazing like flames: "If you don't want to, I won't force you. But right now..."
"I...I am willing!" Hu Die raised her head suddenly, her eyes flashing with determination!
She trembled slightly as she unfastened the silver fastener on her Miao clothing's collar, the garment slipping off, revealing her smooth, snow-white skin, the delicate clavicle like jade, her softness faintly visible beneath the thin undergarment!
Her voice carried a slight shyness yet unwavering determination: "As long as it can save my father, save Senior...I...am willing to do anything..."
Chen Nan's breath hitched, the intoxicating scent of the girl mixed with the fresh fragrance of mountain plants overwhelmed him, further clouding his already dazed mind!
He reached out to caress Hu Die's burning cheek, his thumb gently rubbing her soft lips, his voice hoarse: "I will take responsibility for you!"
Hu Die bit her lip slightly and leaned into him proactively.
Her soft body pressed against Chen Nan's chest, and through the thin fabric, he could clearly feel her rapid heartbeat and warm body temperature!
Chen Nan lowered his head, capturing her cool lips, his tongue prying open her pearly teeth, greedily savoring her breath!
His large hand slid down her slender waist, tearing open the Miao garment embroidered with butterfly patterns!
"Mm..." Hu Die let out a soft moan, her jade-like skin glowing in the dim cave!
Chen Nan's fingertips traced her delicate clavicle, following the soft curves down, gently squeezing her plumpness!
The girl's skin was as smooth as silk, cool to touch, but gradually grew hot under his hand!
"So itchy..." Hu Die's eyes were misty, her breathing rapid, her chest heaving violently, her white skin tinged with an alluring blush!
As the last piece of clothing fell away, their bodies were fully intertwined!
Chen Nan activated the Dual Cultivation Technique, immediately feeling a pure flow of Yin Yuan entering his body at the point of union!
His damaged meridians were like parched land encountering rain, greedily absorbing this energy!
"Ah...Senior...so hot..." Hu Die panted, her slender waist writhing slightly, her legs involuntarily wrapping around Chen Nan's waist!
The roars of the Gu Demon outside the cave drew closer, but the two of them were utterly lost in their own world!
Chen Nan pressed Hu Die against the stone wall, his movements growing increasingly intense!
The girl's snow-white skin flushed enticingly, each deep motion eliciting sweet cries!
"Ah...Senior...slower...a little slower..." Hu Die's voice had a crying tone, yet also carried an unbearable longing!
Her legs tightly clasped his waist, her snow-white toes pointed, her toes curling!
Finally, with a high-pitched cry, Hu Die's body trembled violently, reaching the peak!
At the same time, a dazzling golden light burst from Chen Nan's body, his fractured meridians healing at a visible speed, and the King of Ten Thousand Gu in his Dantian awakening, greedily absorbing the energy brought by Dual Cultivation!
When the last trace of Yin Yuan was refined, Chen Nan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and bright, not only had he recovered from his injuries, but he had surged into the Qi Refining Sixth Layer realm in one go!
He gently brushed Hu Die's sweat-soaked hair, planting a kiss on her forehead: "Thank you."
Hu Die shyly buried her head in his embrace, her snow-white skin still blushed from their bliss!
Suddenly, ear-piercing roars sounded outside, the huge figure of the Gu Demon already at the cave entrance, its foul stench hitting them in waves!
Chen Nan shielded Hu Die behind him, his lips curling into a cold smile: "Time to settle the score!"
