Void Cultivation-Chapter 165- Desperate Battle

As the Bizarre Spirit caught up to him, Grey quickly bit his tongue and spat out a small mouthful of blood. The moment that blood appeared, Grey’s face turned pale. But he punched out three more times, creating three fist shaped ’Air Cannons’.

Before the Bizarre Spirit could react, the blood Grey spat out fell to the ground. The moment it fell to the ground, blood veins instantly bulged around Grey’s body. Making him look like a ferocious beast.

Instantly, Grey’s speed increased once again after spitting out that mouthful of blood. His special quality of speed was showed forth at that exact moment.

This... Grey would suddenly spit out blood and blood veins would bulge all over his body. That this technique could only be used for a very short amount of time, and it drained him of his energy. But whenever the Bizarre Spirit was swiftly catching up, or the statue with the slithering creature and beheaded head approached, would be then bite his tongue and erupt with sudden speed.

The Foundation Establishment realm cultivator could not hope to catch up during this time. Although he could fly, his flight speed could not compare to Grey’s running speed. In fact, it there were to compare, they would notice that Grey could move one hundred feet in a second, while the Foundation Establishment expert could only cross fifty feet in a second.

The difference was just to large... The only thing that could match Grey’s crazy speed was the Bizarre Spirit that floated several feet behind him, and the black statue that followed after in the sky.

Throughout that time, Grey’s face would turn even more pale with each mouthful of blood he spat. The sands of the Whistling fields were very sharp and had a slight greenish tinge to them. If one were to observe closely, they would notice that the grains of sands resembled small shards of broken glass.

As Grey’s feet constantly hammered against the sharp sands, he felt that the sands here were different too. Yet, he didn’t have the luxury or time to observe why they were so. He was afraid that if he stopped to rest for even one moment, the Black statue and the Bizarre Spirit would instantly catch up to him in no time.

An unknown amount of time passed and soon the sun went down the horizon. Dying the slightly greenish sands a warm red glowing hue.

Grey had been chased by the Foundation Establishment realm cultivator for several hours now. His breathing was in disarray and his face was very pale. Somehow, he had not run out of energy and had managed to run for these hours.

But high in the skies behind him, the Foundation Establishment expert was following behind with a dark expression on his face. He had been chasing Grey for several hours now, deploying many techniques in hopes to draw his attention and swiftly capture him.

But the Qi Accumulation realm cultivator was proving to be very enduring. Although his level of cultivation was way lower than the middle-aged man’s, the speed at which he ran was enough to baffle him time after time.

This reason alone made him pay great attention to Grey and become wary of him. First, he displayed cunningness and wisdom to not engage in a fight with him when they first clashed. He instead chose to retreat to the Whistling fields were his safety was not guaranteed.

Then, he had shocked him by displaying the Sword Art from the Ancient Era as he used it against the Bizarre Spirit. That alone made him suck in a deep breath and wonder about Grey’s past.

Then, the deep seated killing intent and coldness in his eyes, made him to respect him after a while.

But all that could not compare to the endurance Grey had showed him today. That endurance was even more shocking than his absurd speed which he managed to keep up for several hours in a row. Even the Foundation Establishment expert was starting to have a hard time keeping up with him.

But he knew that Grey was in even worse condition. His green robes were tattered and were torn in all places, blood flowed out from his skin and dyed the green robes into a different color. But a place where blood flowed the most was the hole located in his chest, next to where his heart would be.

That particular wound flowed with much blood that Grey’s face continued to pale even as he swallowed medicinal pills and the purple crystal healed him.

But running at this breakneck speed where the winds cut through his flesh and bones, he could not hope to fully recover at all. Whenever his wounds tried to close up, they would be opened with each and every step he took. The sharp gales that blew past his side also sink deep into his body and more blood would flow out.

This made Grey make a decision. He decided to give up on healing himself for now and focus fully on escaping first. He knew that no matter how much he tried to heal, his wounds would be opened up with each passing gale.

His face was pale to the point of translucence, blood dripped from his ears, nose, and eyes, his deven orifices leaking scarlet threads that trailed behind him in the wind. His body shook with pain every time his foot hit the sand. But he did not stop, not even one bit. But his expression only got more colder, and the killing intent in his only got thicker as well. Along with the displeasure and the hate he felt towards the Foundation Establishment expert, the only other thing he felt was the gentle warmth coming from his storage bag at the moment. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Roxanne... Has woken up from her sleep." Grey said in a low voice, but it couldn’t hide the gentleness he felt at this moment.

One had to know that the Legendary Phoenix Grey had met in the Small world had been sleeping inside his storage bag for over six months. During that time, many things had changed and Grey had decided not to disturb her sleep. But now that she was awakening, Grey couldn’t help but tremble in anticipation.

’When she entered deep sleep, she was in the Initial stages of the Foundation Establishment realm. But when she awakens, I wonder what her level of cultivation will be?’ Grey said inwardly, that it couldn’t hide the bright glint that appeared in his eyes. But that glint disappeared quickly soon after and turned cold.

With a pale and sullen face, Grey glared at the Foundation Establishment realm cultivator who floated in the sky. He felt an unimaginable hatred full up his heart. That hatred was not shown in the form of hatred, but it showed in Grey’s thick bloodlust and killing intent.

The warmth from his storage bag ket increasing until it felt as if a mini sun was spreading its warmth and heat inside. Grey face turned grave as he realized that Roxanne was really close to waking up.

He then raised his hand and several black pills appeared in his hand. Those pills were pitch black in color and large amounts of dense corrosive substance was seeping out of them. The moment those pills appeared, the corrosive substance in the Whistling fields that was quite a large amount began to surge over quickly.

Once the Foundation Establishment expert saw this, his expression changed as he brought out several medicinal pills and swallowed them. But even after swallowing those pills, his skin and face started to turn pale green with spots of black.

The Foundation Establishment expert gave a cry of surprise and quickly retreated by several dozen feet, but when the pale green color on his skin did not stop spreading, he retreated several hundred feet in an instant. Fear was visible on his face as he kept on swallowing medicinal pills to dissolve the poison that was entering his body.

His face was pale with fear as he kept retreating. "Poison... He has poison!" His lips trembled intensely.
