Chapter 856 – The Doctor is Harming Me

My name is Qin Yu and I am also injured. Even though I am injured I must carry a heavily wounded person on my back, trekking hard over mountains and rivers, crawling through the hot and humid forest with vines blocking my way. I have no idea where the road ahead leads, but I have to walk down it anyway. Countless times I thought about abandoning this fellow but I still kept my hands grasped tightly onto him – this is because I was touched when he said we were brothers for forever. Yes, this had to be true.

An Ke came to a stop and turned around to reveal a pale and frightened face. Although I knew that this was just a young little boy, his appearance was beautiful and enchanting enough to confuse the mind and heart. If this fellow ever wanted to find a wife more beautiful than himself in the future, he was sure to encounter some difficulties.

“I can only bring you this far. Don’t think of going down any off roads and finding yourself astray. Go straight down this direction and after crossing a mountain gap you will find a river. As for what you want to do after that, that is your choice.” An Ke glanced at Qin Yu and then turned to leave.

“Hold on.” Qin Yu suddenly said.

An Ke was given a fright. He nervously looked over and asked, “What is it?”

Qin Yu said, “I believe that I haven’t misread you. You are clearly afraid and also don’t wish to provoke trouble, so why did you finally choose to help us?” When he first woke up he discovered that he had landed just outside this small village. If it hadn’t been for An Ke coming back and dragging the two into the hay hut, the two of them would have likely been discovered by others already.

Although Qin Yu had no idea what happened in the outside world, it was clear the city masters An Ke said had suddenly rushed into the mountains were extremely likely to be coming for him and Xue Zheng.

An Ke bit his lips. “Because I promised my little sister that if I encounter anyone that needs help, I will help them as much as I can….you be careful from now on!”

Without pause he turned and left.

Qin Yu had a thoughtful look. When An Ke mentioned his little sister his eyes flashed with pain; there was clearly a backstory behind all of this. But right now Qin Yu didn’t have time to mull over such things. He glanced at the direction An Ke pointed towards. Then, he lifted Xue Zheng up some more and quickly left, his speed much faster and more relaxed than before.

Although there wasn’t any problem with this rural village boy, caution was something that had long been imprinted on Qin Yu’s bones. He was always on guard. Darkness wasn’t anything to him. He soon entered the mountain gap but he soon came to a stop and bitterly smiled.

As expected, when people were experiencing a spell of bad luck they would never know what sort of things they would experience. For instance, Qin Yu right now. He looked at the sturdy wild wolf across from him. Its eerie green eyes shined with brutality and greed.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and suppressed his thoughts, placing Xue Zheng on the ground. He slightly bent his waist over, keeping his eyes locked on the wild wolf.

When they crossed worlds to arrive here, Qin Yu had been much better off thanks to Xue Zheng’s protection. As long as he was able to quietly rest and recuperate for some time, he would gradually recover his strength.

But the problem was that this was far too early. His cultivation was still in a silent hibernating state and his mortal body had only restored a simple amount of energy. As for this wild wolf, it clearly wasn’t something easy to deal with.

The wild wolf’s eyes flashed with hesitation, as if it smelled some extremely dangerous scent coming from Qin Yu. But in the next moment, this crafty beast turned into a shadow as it lunged forward, its fangs aimed at Qin Yu’s throat.

Fortunately, Qin Yu had never lowered his guard from beginning to end. When the wild wolf plunged at him, he rolled to the side and avoided it. Then, he ruthlessly kicked out. With a howl the wild wolf was sent flying back. Beads of sweat appeared all over Qin Yu’s forehead as a burst of weakness overcame him. He had nearly reached his limits with just that.

The wild wolf also discovered this. When it landed on its feet it paused for a moment and considered the situation before rushing forwards again. It clearly possessed a considerable intelligence. It no longer attempted to instantly kill Qin Yu but chose to engage in a dogfight. It wanted to exhaust Qin Yu’s strength before finishing him off.

Qin Yu clenched his teeth. He didn’t want to die in such a vexing manner. He roared out loud and threw himself over. Moments later, a limp-legged wolf howled out loud and turned to leave. It really was beginning to feel fear now. When this two-legged sheep was forced into a corner, it was unexpectedly even more vicious than it imagined. When the wolf was about to bite down on Qin Yu’s neck, Qin Yu actually turned it away, almost wrenching its neck around.

Qin Yu’s body was covered in streams of blood all over. After losing so much blood, his mortal body was even weaker than that of an average person. But his eyes remained icy cold. He stared at the retreating wild wolf and chased after it without hesitation.

This was because he knew that wolves were creatures that often lived in packs. If he were to let it leave it would likely return with more friends. If that happened, he and Xue Zheng would most likely be finished.

There were roars and sounds of struggle in the darkness. After a long time, the sounds began to slowly subside. Qin Yu gasped for breath as he leaned back against a boulder, a warm wolf corpse still hugged tightly against his chest. A wound that was torn open in its neck was still gushing out blood. After some time, he lifted a hand and wiped the wolf blood from his lips. He limped over to Xue Zheng and picked him up before continuing onwards.

But this interlude had used up too much time and Qin Yu’s subsequent condition was far too poor. Even when the skies began to brighten, he still hadn’t let the mountain gap.

He couldn’t keep going anymore. He threw Xue Zheng to the ground and sat down, breathing in great gulps of air. Sweat covered his entire body from head to toe. He suddenly thought that he had a grudge with crossing worlds. Whenever he did he would suffer hardship. As random thoughts raced through his mind, Qin Yu’s complexion suddenly changed. He turned and look behind himself. Rustling sounds entered his ears.

People were approaching and there was a considerable number of them. Qin Yu’s first thought was that boy An Ke had betrayed them. But this thought only lasted for a brief moment before he shot it down. If An Ke really wanted to do that then there was no need to go through so much trouble.

Qin Yu pulled Xue Zheng close and rushed forwards. But, the little bits of strength he had restored had mostly been used up. If this continued like this they would be overtaken sooner or later. What should he do?

Suddenly, a faint smell of blood filled the air. Qin Yu’s complexion changed. He clenched his teeth and ran towards the source of the smell.

This was a battle encounter that had occurred in the forest. Judging from the fluctuations coming from the battlefield there were cultivators fighting and they weren’t weak either.

Now, a large number of corpses littered the ground everywhere. From their clothes it could be seen that one side was being annihilated. As for the corpses of the other party, they had been dragged away.

Without time to observe further, Qin Yu quietly thought that the two of them were going to have to place their lives in the hands of destiny. He smeared blood over his face and Xue Zheng’s face and then threw themselves onto the bodies on the floor.

Soon, the sound of dense footsteps approached, followed by loud cries of alarm.

“It’s people from Cat Mountain!”

“Fuck, these bastards really are ruthless, they didn’t even let a single one off!”

“Hurry and look around. Are there any survivors?”

“There shouldn’t be. Those ‘obam’s aren’t the type to show mercy!”

Just as this voice fell, there was another shout, “There’s a survivor here!”

Qin Yu cursed inwardly. Xue Zheng’s luck was indeed poor to be found so quickly. He was quietly worried as he waited. After a while, the corpse covering him was moved away and he was also found.

“There are actually two survivors, they really are lucky!” A man hugged Qin Yu and shouted out loud. A thick arm wrapped around his chest. Qin Yu suddenly feared that if he didn’t wake up he would end up suffocating alive, so he ‘woke up’ with a cough.

“Hey, he’s awake!” A man with a red face slapped him, “Boy, tell us quickly, who did you meet?”

Just as Qin Yu took in a breath and turned his head, it was all dispersed with a slap. He only had time to close his eyes and fall over. His final thought was that as a solemn member of the Ancient race and an existence who had fused with the jade pendant embryo egg, he had been knocked unconscious with a single slap. This was absolutely the darkest moment of his life…but what Qin Yu never imagined was that this moment was only the beginning of the darkest historical period of his life!

When Qin Yu woke up again, he had already been lifted up to Nine Nether Peak. After spending some time exploring his surroundings, Qin Yu thought that it was a bit wasteful for this ragtag group of bandits to use such an imposing name.

These people didn’t seem to have much interest in their colleagues from Cat Mountain. For the next several days Qin Yu quietly recovered in his room. As for Xue Zheng, he wasn’t here. Listening to the guards it seemed that his injuries were much more serious so he had been taken away by a miracle doctor on the mountain for treatment.

This caused Qin Yu to have some suspicions, but at the same time he couldn’t help but feel a profound level of respect. Could it be that this hidden doctor had incredible medical skills? This was a severely wounded Origin God! If Xue Zheng was healed, wouldn’t he finally be safe? This would be an incredibly wonderful result!

Like this, half a month passed. Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes and a sharp light flashed through them. He let out a light breath and smiled. He had finally restored some of his strength. If things continued at this pace, he would need half a year at most before he returned to his peak condition.

The sounds of movement came from the outside. Qin Yu turned back around, pretending as if he had just woken up. Then, he saw a pale-faced Xue Zheng being quickly carried in by several people.

Qin Yu was given a fright. He hurriedly stood up and said, “What’s wrong?”

He was now brothers with Xue Zheng. If things went bad they would both die together. How had he ended up like this after just half a month? Although he hadn’t died, he looked as if he only had one final gasp left in him!
