Chapter 53

The mountain path at night was eerily quiet, the forests on either side of the path were unsettlingly still, giving the impression that countless pairs of devilish eyes were constantly peering at the path.

In fact, darkness was like a devil's mouth.

A beam of intense white light pierced through this devil's mouth, the high-pitched roar of the engine shattered the silence of the mountain path and the stillness of the forest, but the unease of the night did not dissipate.

Yingxiong had already focused his mind to a high degree, and the skills he had learned before were now put to good use. Among the introductory texts of the Natural Creation Dao, there was one called "Nature's Tale," which, although not a powerful cultivation technique, taught the disciples of this lineage how to concentrate their minds and listen to the voice of nature. If one had sufficient talent, they could even communicate with nature.

This book was not a cheap, mass-produced copy, but a foundational work on the understanding of nature written by the man who founded the Natural Creation Dao in the last few years of his life. It was unique and had no equal in the world.

What is true knowledge gained through practice? Only after reaping the benefits did Yingxiong realize that none of those seemingly hypnotic texts were garbage. What made one strong did not necessarily have to be a powerful cultivation technique or secret art.

It could also be an understanding of heaven and earth unrelated to cultivation techniques and practice. The essence of a lineage lay in its foundational enlightenment!

Moreover, the gourd heart was a naturally formed spirit object, inherently close to nature.

At this moment, Yingxiong felt as if his soul had developed a sense of closeness with nature. After being transformed by the Life Creation Pill, his soul possessed a strong natural communication talent, as if he were a natural speaker.

Each time he communicated with nature, his sense of closeness to it deepened.

The trees in the mountains seemed to be separate individuals, but underground, they formed a network of intertwined roots. If a disciple of the Natural Creation Dao became powerful enough, once they connected the trees, the entire mountain range would be their territory, and they would be able to sense every insect and its activities clearly.

At this moment, Yingxiong could vaguely analyze some information from the rustling of the leaves, knowing where the bends in the road ahead were.

This doubled the efficiency of his escape. The winding mountain path was like a small river, and the battle steed was like a fish swimming swiftly in the river.

His strength did not match that of the superhuman battle drivers, but his ability to escape was something they could not match.

After communicating with nature, he could not only vaguely sense the environment within a few hundred meters but also feel the spiritual energy floating in the air! His gourd heart became excited, as battle could make his blood boil, and strength could make his heart excited.

The battle steed sped down the mountain path, and his gourd heart instinctively began to circulate the foundational breathing technique in its excitement.

If the night were a curtain, he would be the fang that tore it apart. As the battle steed sped through, the spiritual energy in the air was all being absorbed into the gourd heart.

Yingxiong's ability to absorb spiritual energy was so terrifying that it could be described as plundering.

After communicating with nature, his sensing range reached four hundred meters, and at such high speed, the black battle steed was like a night demon devouring the darkness!

Yingxiong felt that practicing in a battle state was more exhilarating than meditating. He liked this feeling.

Feeling the pursuers getting closer, Yingxiong did not feel fear due to their overwhelming strength; instead, he felt even more excited. The stronger the opponent, the stronger the pressure, and the more he could feel the intense pleasure of power under such absolute pressure.

This was the wildness in his bones. The Life Creation Pill could transform his soul and body, but it could not change his nature.

He was a roaring bear, not a dog that could wag its tail.

At this moment, Xue Man, sitting behind him, felt her mind being drawn by something. The boy in front of her, who was once a savage beast, was now a madman who wanted to devour heaven and earth.

She did not understand why, but at this moment, Xue Man felt a blade-like killing intent pierce through her back!

She was not a psychic, but she had encountered countless psychic strongmen. However, this was the first time she had felt a killing intent pierce through her body. Although she was not harmed, she felt the fear of death in that instant.

She had thought she was not afraid of death, but now it seemed she was just deceiving herself. When she realized that the killing intent was targeting the boy in front of her, she felt as if she had narrowly escaped death.

"Is this person being pursued by his enemies?" Xue Man looked at the back of the boy in front of her.

Yingxiong did not have the leisure to indulge in sentimentality and play the role of a cool guy being pursued by strongmen.

The killing intent, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, enveloped him, locking onto him. Yingxiong almost lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree by the roadside.

If they really fought, Yingxiong would only be crushed by the other's finger.

The speed of his battle steed had already reached its maximum, but the red sports car behind him was slowly catching up. It seemed he was being treated like a rat in a cage, to be played with slowly until they got tired and then swallowed whole.

Suddenly, Yingxiong felt a flash of intense light. Before he could sense what was happening ahead, he vaguely saw six beams of light shining towards him. Three blue sports cars had emerged from the forest ahead and were speeding towards him.

Without hesitation, Yingxiong took out a pattern sculpture carved from an energy pattern crystal and inserted it into the key slot on the front of the vehicle.

This was a pattern key.

A pattern key is a pattern carved from an energy pattern crystal, a one-time-use pattern consumable that can summon a powerful pattern technique.

The pattern key in Yingxiong's hand was specifically designed for his battle steed. After inserting the pattern key into the key slot, pattern light flashed, and countless patterns emerged, forming a fierce energy entity: the Blood Demon Bear!

The Blood Demon Bear had a natural skill pattern: Burning Blood Speed.

This pattern key was the Blood Demon Bear's natural skill pattern 'Burning Blood Speed'.

Yingxiong's battle steed was enhanced with Burning Blood Speed, which naturally consumed Yingxiong's blood!

Feeling his blood rapidly depleting, the gourd heart immediately extended dozens of tendrils into the small waist bag hanging from his waist.

This small waist bag was a trophy he had obtained from Xiao Qian 07, containing dozens of bottles of various pills. The dozens of tendrils pierced into the jade bottles of different pills, which were all essential in battle. With the gourd heart, he could use various pills in battle much more conveniently and quickly than other life masters.

One of the tendrils pierced into a bottle of Blood Essence Pills, instantly digesting two pills.

After digesting the two Blood Essence Pills, the gourd heart's blood gushed out like a spring.

Feeling his blood replenished, the old turtle in his pocket felt that this guy was about to defy the heavens. With the gourd heart, he could cheat in battle and become a human war fortress, able to crush his way forward as long as he had enough pills.

But in the face of overwhelming power, Brother Yingxiong still obediently fled.

His battle steed plunged into the forest like a Blood Demon Bear, leaving a trail of blood-colored shadow in the dark forest.

To avoid becoming a beacon, he had already turned off all the lights on the vehicle. Burning Blood Speed was a heaven-defying pattern for escape, allowing him to ignore all qi locks and conceal his presence while escaping.

After changing direction and rushing into the forest, the Ground Spider immediately turned the car and plunged into the forest.

At this moment, the undercarriages of the red sports car and the three blue sports cars that had caught up simultaneously flashed with pattern light. Not only did the entire undercarriage of the cars rise, but their shapes also changed, transforming into various majestic forms.

The four sports cars turned into four battle vehicles, each with a formidable presence, chasing in the direction where Yingxiong had disappeared.

Although Yingxiong had temporarily shaken off his pursuers, he still fled like a cornered bandit.

This direction was the shortest route to Tianchuan City. Once he reached Tianchuan City, things would be easier. There was a Death God's base there, and he did not believe that those birds would stand by and watch him be pursued by others before he completed his mission.
