Chapter 243: Chapter243 In his life, Zhou Peng hated one thing besides spiritual coercion, and that was parting. Especially the parting between life and death! Seeing Yao Kong's vital true yuan gradually disappearing, he was helpless. That feeling was extremely agonizing, even more so than the pain from the countless wounds on his body. The overloaded refinement of true qi in the dantian had caused great damage, to the extent that his natal true yuan was depleted and his life was on the line. When Zhou Peng's true qi entered Yao Kong's body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly disappearing without a trace. With the dantian damaged and the true qi flowing in reverse, even a Great Luo Jinxian would probably be powerless at this moment. "Clack..." Zhou Peng gritted his teeth so hard that they made a "clack" sound. With a little more force, the wound on his chest split open again, and a trickle of blood seeped out. It was very painful, but Zhou Peng was completely unaware of it, as it couldn't compare to the hatred in his heart. If only he could be a little stronger. Perhaps... "Han Kong!!!" He roared hysterically in his heart, and the violent qi on his body burst out uncontrollably. Yao Kong, lying beside him, feebly opened his eyes and said faintly, "Young master, endure. Endure for a while, calm your mind, break a devilish obstacle, gather strength, and slay an enemy..." "Be sure, be sure to endure." "Han Kong, with his Qiankun realm strength, has only exerted less than ten percent of it. The Qiankun divine power is extremely powerful. Don't seek revenge without reaching the Qiankun realm. Remember this, remember it well." As he continued speaking, Yao Kong's voice grew weaker and weaker until it was as faint as a mosquito's buzz. He was worried that Zhou Peng would be impatient to seek revenge. With his strength at the sixth - level of the Entering Void realm, he was no match for Han Kong at all. To kill Han Kong, one needed to reach the Qiankun realm. But the Qiankun realm... Zhou Peng was more than twenty levels behind. How could he break through in a short time? A gentleman can wait ten years to take revenge; a petty man will not wait overnight. Zhou Peng wished he could cut off Han Kong's head right now. With his last bit of strength, Yao Kong raised his right hand, wanting to touch his forehead. His eyes were full of kindness, just like a grandfather looking at his grandson. His hand hung in mid - air. Yao Kong smiled faintly, and then his right hand dropped feebly, and his eyes slowly closed, looking peaceful. "No!!!" Zhou Peng could no longer control himself. He threw his head back and roared with all his might. He held Yao Kong's hand and pressed it against his forehead, crying uncontrollably, his tears falling like rain. "Whine..." Suddenly, Maomao changed and entered a combat state. He raised his head and howled, his voice extremely mournful. "I won't let you die..." "No, no,..." Zhou Peng clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. Then he took out a ninth - level crystal core and put it into Yao Kong's mouth. Then he used his true qi to prompt the energy of the crystal core to spread. Immediately, Yao Kong's body looked as vivid as if he were alive. However, there was not a trace of breath. "At the beginning, Zang Tianji asked me to learn the Great Mysterious Technique to resurrect him. One day, I will surely learn it. And you will be the first one I resurrect, Elder Yao. Just wait. I will surely bring you back to life. I swear!" Every word, every sentence. At each pause, killing intent was revealed. After saying that, Zhou Peng put Yao Kong's body into his spatial ring. Then he stood up. Unsteady on his feet, his body swayed violently and he almost fell. Maomao immediately panicked and wanted to support him. Zhou Peng stretched out his hand as a sign, shook his head, took a few deep breaths, and became much more sober. At this time, the crystal cores in his dantian were frantically replenishing his qi value. After the efficacy of the dozen or so Peiyuan pills he had just swallowed took effect, the wounds on his body were also healing rapidly. He had just been dizzy from excessive blood loss. "Where is this?" Zhou Peng walked forward a few steps. It was pitch - black. The only thing he could think of now was to find a way out, then find a place to raise his level, and then come back to kill that bastard Han Kong. But this Chilian Cave was bottomless. No one knew if there was an exit at all. It was pitch - black all around, and a chilly wind whistled by, making him shiver involuntarily. "There is wind." Zhou Peng was startled in his heart. Where there was wind blowing, there must be a ventilated place. The wind was blowing outwards, so there must be an exit in here. "Maomao, keep your eyes peeled. Find the exit and strive to level up to avenge Elder Yao." "Howl..." Maomao roared loudly and nodded vigorously. At this time, he was close to the great perfection of the tenth - level, just a little short of being able to transform into a human form. But this little bit seemed like a vast distance, as if it could be grasped, but not really. He also knew in his heart that for a tenth - level monster beast to transform into a human form, it definitely needed an opportunity. Without the opportunity, it was surely impossible to cultivate a human form. After devouring the Gengjin Qi, Maomao began to evolve, and the speed was extremely fast. Zhou Peng slightly sensed the direction of the wind and determined the direction. Just as he was about to leave, he frowned. "Eh? Could it be that I was really dazzled before I passed out?" "Wasn't it full of starlight at the beginning?" "Why does it seem like it's covered by dark clouds now?" Looking around with both eyes, he couldn't see anything. Let alone starlight, there wasn't even a glimmer of light. It was darker than the night. If there was no starlight, then so be it. Zhou Peng didn't take it to heart. He walked forward carefully. In this darkness, his line of sight was about twenty meters. Looking around, it seemed like a natural deep cave, very large, and the Gengjin Qi here was very thick. However, it was not aggressive. Very strange. When Yao Kong and Maomao appeared just now, his body didn't feel any discomfort. Zhou Peng hadn't noticed at first. Now, seeing Maomao beside him so relaxed and at ease, without any pressure at all. "Why is this?" Zhou Peng kept thinking in his mind. This place was no longer a narrow cave. It was extremely large, empty, and flat, like a cave within a cave. "Could that bastard Han Kong be lying to us?" "Or does he not even know how deep this cave really is and just made it up to deceive newcomers?" "Damn it, this bastard. I'll kill him sooner or later." Zhou Peng walked forward for a while and felt that everything around him hadn't changed, as if he had been walking in circles and had returned to the starting point. "What's going on?" After walking for a long time without any change in the surroundings, Zhou Peng couldn't help but think of the tomb - raiding novels he had read in his previous life. This should be what was called "ghost hitting the wall". A gust of chilly wind blew by, and immediately, Zhou Peng's hairs all over his body stood on end, and he shuddered secretly. "I don't believe in this evil." "Maomao, stand here and don't move. Wait until I call you before you move. Do you understand?" Zhou Peng gave an instruction, and then strode out. After about ten minutes, Zhou Peng smiled and thought to himself, "I thought it was really 'ghost hitting the wall'. Turns out it was all in my head." "Maomao, come here quickly!" Zhou Peng turned his head and shouted. Less than ten seconds later, Maomao rushed up, looking at him blankly, motionless. "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen me before?" Zhou Peng scolded unhappily. Suddenly, his eyes widened in horror. Just now, Maomao had run towards him from the front, not the back. That is to say, he had walked for ten minutes and circled back. It was just that this time he walked a little slower and was only a few dozen meters away from Maomao, who had stayed in place. "Gulp!" Zhou Peng couldn't help but swallow. Looking around with both eyes, another gust of chilly wind hit, and everything seemed to be the same as at the beginning. "Ghost hitting the wall." "Really 'ghost hitting the wall'." Zhou Peng muttered softly to himself, thinking, "This is not scientific. Does 'ghost hitting the wall' also exist in this other world?" "All you great gods, I'm just passing by. I have no intention of offending you. Please be merciful..." He silently recited a few words in his heart. Zhou Peng was an atheist. He didn't believe in things like "ghost hitting the wall" or "ghost blowing out the lamp" at all. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing in this other world. Since he couldn't get out, Zhou Peng crouched down and began to think secretly. "The wind direction has not changed. Following the wind direction surely won't be wrong." Zhou Peng frowned slightly and then said, "Maomao, close your eyes and follow my steps closely." This method was also seen by Zhou Peng in a tomb - raiding novel. He couldn't remember exactly what the principle was. He just knew that the protagonist in the novel had walked out in this way. Closing his eyes, feeling the wind direction, under the law of breath, Zhou Peng walked forward carefully. Maomao followed closely behind. After walking for about ten minutes, Zhou Peng closed his eyes and paused for a moment. After not feeling that strange chilly wind, he opened his eyes. Looking at both sides, he found that he was no longer at the original place. His heart was filled with joy. Just as he was about to celebrate with Maomao, he found that Maomao's fur all over his body was standing on end, like steel needles erected one by one. Only when encountering extremely dangerous situations or creatures that made him terrified would he be like this. Immediately, Zhou Peng's heart sank. Slowly, he turned his head and looked. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and his clothes were instantly soaked. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took half a step back. "Run..." A beast, entirely purple - black, with a head like a bull, two long black horns, and a chilly wind constantly blowing from its nostrils. Its teeth in its mouth were like disordered steel needles, extremely sharp. Most terrifyingly, between the two huge horns of the fierce beast was an eye larger than half of its head. The purple - pupil - colored eye, with a slight blink, flashed purple light. After hunting in the Kunlun Mountains for three years, in the Xuankong Mountain for several days, in the Domain of Ten Thousand Demons for several days, and in the Sea of the Underworld for several days, he had never seen such an ugly monster beast. Its eye was actually on the top of the cave, and it gave Zhou Peng a feeling of being extremely powerful, so powerful that it made his heart tremble with fear. Immediately, he let out a loud shout. At the same time, he dashed out, and Maomao did the same. Half a second after Zhou Peng ran out, that monster beast suddenly launched itself. Pushing off with its hind legs, it almost instantly leaped in front of Zhou Peng. Purple slime dripped from between its teeth, extremely disgusting. "Damn it. There are indeed strange things in the Chilian Cave." Zhou Peng's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists tightly. Before the monster beast attacked, he suddenly launched an attack, punching the beast's head heavily. "Clang!" "It hurts like hell!" The monster beast's body only moved slightly and was not injured at all, while Zhou Peng's fist was in extreme pain. Just now, he had punched with all his strength, but hitting the monster beast was even heavier than hitting a one - meter - thick steel plate. With all his strength, his arm almost dislocated. However, at this time, Zhou Peng finally knew what the monster beast in front of him was. Just now, with that one punch, it lost a little bit of blood, and its information immediately showed up in the system. Purple Crystal Beast Health Points: 600,000 Experience Points: 1,200,000 Qi Points: 250,000 Skill: Devour Note: The Purple Crystal Beast comes from another plane. It has strong attack power, strong defense power, likes to live in groups, and is good at formations. "A monster beast from another plane?!"
