Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 310: Chapter 135: Just a Hair’s Breadth Away

...

In the pitch-black forest, the silhouettes of trees swiftly receded on both sides.

Beneath the faint moonlight, two people and a beast dashed swiftly through the woods.

Their speed was extremely fast, without any words or pauses throughout the journey.

After running for over twenty minutes, Liang Yuhan’s Qi and Blood were almost depleted, her face looking rather grim.

In terms of speed, Liang Yuhan was notably slower than Xiaohei.

As for stamina, she couldn’t match Xiaohei either, even when Xiaohei had to carry Liang Yunhui.

”Huff...”

”Huff...”

She really couldn’t run anymore and stopped, gasping for breath.

She took out a water pouch with medicinal soup from the package and gulped it down.

”Xiaohei, stop, stop, mom is still behind us,” Liang Yunhui urgently said upon noticing.

Chirp chirp~~

Xiaohei obediently came to a halt.

These days, it had been accompanying Liang Yuhan and Liang Yunhui as they wandered around, and the relationship between them was quite harmonious.

Especially Liang Yunhui, the little girl would often buy all sorts of strange and exotic things for it to eat, though many weren’t as delicious as roasted meat.

”Mom, are you okay?” Liang Yunhui asked nervously.

”I’m fine, let’s rest for a while. We’ve run so far into the deep mountains, even if they have superior tracking skills, they can’t catch up,” Liang Yuhan said, panting as her chest rose and fell.

”Mm-hmm.”

”Xiaohei, come over, don’t run around, wait here for Mr. Zhao.”

”I wonder if Mr. Zhao will be alright; that was the Pei Family, a renowned and powerful clan in Ruyang City,” Liang Yunhui murmured softly as she stroked Xiaohei’s sleek black fur, feeling quite worried.

...

...

A gentle breeze arose.

The clouds dispersed, and the bright moonlight bathed the area.

Lin Zheyu stood in the forest, silently sensing his current condition.

This was his first time using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill in reality.

This Cultivation Technique consumed Essence, Qi, and Spirit to a much greater extent than in the subconscious space.

Lin Zheyu felt his Essence, Qi, and Spirit burning at an alarming rate, akin to the last burst of strength before total exhaustion. The more they burned, the closer they came to depletion, while the Qi Blood within his body grew stronger.

”Fortunately, the opponent’s head wasn’t very tough; otherwise, that punch might have directly broken my arm.”

Lin Zheyu’s arm trembled slightly.

Though theoretically, it could unleash a terrifying force equivalent to ninety-fold, in reality, its actual power was around sixty-fold.

Nevertheless, it was still immensely terrifying.

Even with his physique, akin to that of a fierce beast at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, he almost couldn’t bear it.

Thankfully, the burly man’s head wasn’t that hard; a single punch was enough to blow it up. Otherwise, the force rebound during the attack would have been unbearable.

”This power is incredibly violent, even more so than the energy after using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill,” Lin Zheyu said to himself, feeling the pure and potent Qi and Blood energy within his body.

The enhanced Qi Blood from the Blood Boiling Secret Skill was far more violent than before.

If it weren’t for his strong Qi Blood control, he wouldn’t be able to execute the Qi and Blood Burst Skill.

Normal people couldn’t continue using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill after employing the Blood Boiling Secret Skill. The Qi Blood was too violent and uncontrollable.

”I must leave quickly. If any more powerful members of the Pei Family catch up, it will be trouble,” Lin Zheyu thought.

He crouched down, quickly rummaged through the burly man’s belongings.

He didn’t have time to look carefully; with a light tap of his toe, he vanished from the spot.

If another Martial Artist from the Pei Family, as strong as that burly man, caught up, it might end here.

Swish swish swish~~

Lin Zheyu swiftly wove through the forest, moving toward the predetermined direction.

While escaping, they had prepared for various unexpected situations and agreed on a meeting place.

”The closer it gets to the three-minute limit, the more severely the Essence, Qi, and Spirit deplete,” Lin Zheyu thought.

He quietly assessed his physical state as his vision began to blur.

Ringing in his ears and auditory hallucinations appeared, indicating severe mental exhaustion.

The Blood Boiling Secret Skill had been running for two and a half minutes.

The Essence, Qi, and Spirit were almost fully burned; without enough fuel to support it, the Qi Blood weakened and grew more docile.

The closer it got to three minutes, the more docile the Qi Blood became.

With less than ten seconds remaining before three minutes were up, Lin Zheyu realized he could freely decide whether to stop the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

It was obvious that his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were on the brink of being exhausted.

Continuing further wouldn’t just mean burning Essence, Qi, and Spirit or exhausting his body.

Instead, it would directly burn his lifespan and the origins of life, those mysterious things.

Three minutes passed.

Lin Zheyu dared not continue using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

He abruptly halted and ceased the Secret Skill’s operation.

The moment the operation stopped, Lin Zheyu’s body softened, collapsing directly to the ground.

From spirit to body, he felt pain everywhere.

The mental exhaustion caused his brain to spin into dizziness.

His whole body felt as if it was being jabbed by needles and struck by hammers.

He struggled a few times but couldn’t move.

The burn from the Blood Boiling Secret Skill was terrifying, consuming all energy within his body.

No matter how Lin Zheyu tried to squeeze more strength out, he couldn’t extract any Qi Blood.

If no one helps him, even encountering a random beast would mean immediate death.

”Hiss——”

”In reality, using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill is so much more terrifyingly draining on the spirit than in the subconscious space.”

Lin Zheyu looked pained, his head aching intensely.

His mind buzzed, as if several hammers were pounding fiercely, with ringing in his ears and auditory hallucinations.
