Chapter 7: A Hair's Breadth Away! Next, It's My Turn to Counterattack!

Lu Yun used the Godly Movement Talisman to sprint rapidly across the wilderness.

He felt extremely fortunate that he had put on his shoes just before he started practicing his punches earlier.

Otherwise, even if he could use the Godly Movement Talisman to accelerate at this moment, he would not have been able to run very far at all while barefoot.

Now that he was wearing shoes, at least running wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

But before he could be happy for long, he suddenly heard a piercing sound of something breaking through the air.

He turned his head to look behind him, and his expression changed instantly.

A group of Demon beasts was chasing him frantically from behind, and a Heiying was also flying rapidly toward him from above.

"Boom!"

Lu Yun suddenly dodged, once again avoiding the claws of the Heiying.

The Heiying flapped its wings, preparing to swoop down and kill him again, but it suddenly heard a sound of something breaking through the air from behind.

It turned out that a monkey Demon had suddenly thrown a stone at it from far away, forcing it to give up its attack on Lu Yun and dodge in a hurry.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Yun immediately changed direction and sprinted with all his might again! "Run!"

"Run!"

"Run as far as you can!"

Relying on the amplification of the *Godly Movement Talisman* fragment, Lu Yun managed to escape several thousand meters away in one breath.

Coincidentally, the direction he was sprinting in was exactly near the Stone Peak where Houtu was located.

At the summit of the Stone Peak, Houtu saw him getting closer and closer, and her face showed a bit more interest.

She had just watched all of Lu Yun's movements clearly, and she was actually somewhat surprised that Lu Yun had such a peculiar talisman in his possession.

However, at this moment, the efficacy of that talisman was clearly about to be exhausted, Lu Yun's speed had also begun to drop rapidly, and those Demon beasts chasing Lu Yun frantically had no intention of giving up.

Houtu was very curious: in this situation, how could Lu Yun still cope?

Lu Yun himself naturally felt the effect of the Godly Movement Talisman fading, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

At this time, his cultivation was still only at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, and he had not yet reached Refining Spirit into Void, so he still had not learned the *Earth Escape Technique*.

Could it be that he was going to kick the bucket just like Gao Yuntian?

He had already taken out the Refined Iron Broadsword he had obtained earlier and held it in his hand, but he felt no sense of security at all.

If he were facing one or two Demon beasts, he might have fought to the death, but at this moment he was facing a group of Demon beasts, and their strength was clearly no less than his; how could he fight? As Lu Yun was extremely anxious, he suddenly remembered that he still had a task he hadn't completed.

It was the previous task of uploading more attribute Spirit Stones.

The reward for that task was a Fine Treasure Chest! Perhaps the reward opened from it could help him resolve the crisis.

However, he had already uploaded quite a few stones, yet he still hadn't heard the notification that the task was completed.

"Could it be because the number of stones I uploaded isn't enough? Or perhaps the variety of attributes isn't enough?"

Lu Yun thought of this point.

At this time, he had no time to worry about whether his guess was right or not; while continuing to sprint with all his might, he began to look around, searching for stones.

Consequently, the Transmigrator Chat Group, which had just calmed down, suddenly popped up a series of notifications again:

"Group member Lu Yun has uploaded a new item—Earth Spirit Stone! Selling price: 500 points!"

"Group member Lu Yun has uploaded a new item—Wood Spirit Stone! Selling price: 500 points!"

"Group member Lu Yun has uploaded a new item—Water Spirit Stone! Selling price: 500 points!"

……

The group members naturally exploded with discussion again.

Xiao Ling'er: "My god, there are more Spirit Stones!" Jiang Ye: "Sure enough, this newcomer really discovered a Spirit Stone mine!"

Fang Wenjie: "It's unfair! Why is it that everyone is a newcomer, but his luck is so good!"

Lin Yan: "He's not playing the same game as us, is he! Could it be that he actually activated a lucky aura?"

……

Lu Yun had no time to pay attention to the discussion among the people in the group and continued to bury his head in searching everywhere.

He specifically looked for stones that looked different on the outside; they indeed had different attributes, but he still didn't hear the notification that the task was completed, so he could only keep looking.

……

At the summit of the Stone Peak.

Houtu saw Lu Yun suddenly picking up stones everywhere while running and became somewhat confused: "What is this Human Race doing picking up these stones? Could it be that he wants to use them as weapons?"

She had observed the Human Race in the past and had indeed seen them use stones as weapons, relying on the advantage of their large numbers to beat certain low-level Demon beasts to death with stones.

But what this Human Race was facing now was not one Demon beast, and he himself was only one person; what use was picking up so many stones? Just as Houtu was confused, the Demon beasts chasing Lu Yun had already caught up.

The one that caught up first was precisely that Heiying.

Its flight advantage was too strong; even though other Demon beasts kept obstructing it, it still beat all the other Demon beasts to catch up to Lu Yun.

Yet in such a situation, Lu Yun was actually still picking up stones.

Houtu really couldn't understand Lu Yun's actions and prepared to take action again.

Although the Heiying's strength was only at Refining Spirit into Void, just slightly higher than that Human Race, this small gap was enough for it to kill that Human Race.

However, just as Houtu began to mobilize her Witch Power and was about to strike, she suddenly saw Lu Yun voluntarily stop his pace and instead turn around to face the Heiying that was chasing him.

"Is he preparing to fight the Heiying to the death?"

Houtu was somewhat stunned.

The next moment, she saw a medicinal pill suddenly appear in Lu Yun's hand.

Before she could identify what kind of pill it was, Lu Yun had already swallowed it directly, and instantly, the true Qi in his body boiled like the sea!

And at this very instant, the Heiying in the air suddenly swooped down toward him!

Lu Yun felt not a shred of fear; on the contrary, a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart!

"Come! Let's see the power of this blade of mine!"

Lu Yun faced the swooping Heiying directly, and in his hand, the long blade suddenly erupted with a cold light, slashing out across the air!

He had never learned any blade techniques; at this moment, he was acting entirely on instinct, mobilizing all the true Qi in his body and releasing it all through the long blade! Just then, Heiying also brought its sharp claws straight down, meeting this blade of Lu Yun's head-on!

"Bang!"

The long blade and the sharp claws collided head-on in the air, instantly erupting with a violent clashing sound.

Then, only a loud boom was heard; after the two powerful forces collided, they instantly surged outward, and in an instant, a wave of air was whipped up, spreading in all directions! Heiying was astonished to discover that its claws had been blocked! What made it feel even more incredible was that the Human Race before it, who had originally only been at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, suddenly saw his aura surge, actually breaking through to Refining Spirit into Void at this very moment!

Such a turn of events caused Heiying to widen its eyes in an instant.

Lu Yun, however, breathed a secret sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, he had made it in time! It turned out that just now, at the final moment, he had finally completed the mission and obtained a Fine Treasure Chest.

That medicinal pill had been opened from the treasure chest, and it happened to be a "Spirit Transformation Pill" that could be used for breaking through! Therefore, he had successfully completed his breakthrough!

At this moment, Lu Yun suddenly grinned: "Next, it's my turn to counterattack!"
