Even Bai Chen couldn't help but admire his quick wit. For Qin Kelan, perhaps there wasn't much affection.
But feelings can be gradually cultivated, and this was the only chance.
For Bai Chen, who had never even held his mother's hand, let alone any other woman, and remained a virgin until his death in his previous life, this moment was undoubtedly a gift from heaven, the most wonderful moment of his life.
Even if he were to die, he couldn't let this girl slip out of his grasp, not even in death!
Of course, Bai Chen's goal wasn't to say goodnight to the girl, but to say good morning to her face.
What is a life winner? It's not about being famous, but having a girl who is devoted to you and holds your hand until old age.
A girl can't wait; she can only be pursued. Once the opportunity is missed, it might be a regret for a lifetime.
Bai Chen adopted the attitude of better to err on the side of caution.
Moreover, being a lover is better than being an enemy.
Unfortunately, happy times always seem particularly short...
Just as a hideous, rotting corpse slowly emerged from the depths of the worm mound, the atmosphere Bai Chen had created was instantly shattered, and both of them were startled by the sudden change.
The already decayed corpse emitted a low moan, and insects were crawling in and out of its body, making their skin crawl.
Both had heard of zombies, but seeing one for the first time was still quite chilling.
Thinking about how they had almost become like these zombies, both felt a sense of survival.
"You step back, I'll handle it."
"Be careful, don't get infected by the zombie poison," Qin Kelan whispered, her eyes full of tenderness.
Looking at these zombies, Bai Chen felt like he was in a biohazard situation. When the scenes from the movies appeared before his eyes, he found it somewhat amusing.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. From the depths of the dark cave, low moans were heard.
One by one, the zombies slowly emerged, their numbers so dense that it was impossible to count how many were hidden in there.
Bai Chen felt his scalp tingling, but he had no way to retreat, with a girl behind him who was supposed to hold his hand until old age.
He couldn't retreat, so he could only fight!
But Bai Chen couldn't help but think that the path of a life winner was indeed not for the average person.
"Boy, now that you are half a step into the innate realm, I will give you the set of boxing techniques I promised you."
At this moment, Jiesha's voice echoed in Bai Chen's mind.
Bai Chen had never felt Jiesha's voice so adorable, it was like a timely help.
The "Seven Injuries Boxing" is of the middle rank, a martial art of seven killing moves.
Intent reaches the heart, the fist connects with the divine.
Three parts qi, seven parts strength.
It crushes the heart, severs the soul.
First, it injures oneself, then it injures others...
In Bai Chen's mind, the movements and intent of the Seven Injuries Boxing began to appear.
No need for arduous practice, the boxing techniques were already imprinted in his heart.
Bai Chen took a deep breath, raised a fist, and faced the nearest zombie, using the first move of the Seven Injuries Boxing, "Quan Zhen Wuyi" (Fist Shakes Wuyi)!
The punch was so powerful that before it even touched the zombie, half of its body was shattered, and the lower half slowly fell to the ground.
Bai Chen looked at his fist in surprise, his right arm feeling as if it had hit steel, slightly numb and painful.
That punch was just a small test, using only one-tenth of his strength, and the accompanying true qi was minimal, yet it had such power.
If he used full strength, how powerful would this move be?
But this "first injure oneself, then injure others" was too harsh.
Using just one-tenth of his strength had left him with a slight internal injury. If he used full strength, he might really injure his internal organs.
Seeing three more zombies approaching, Bai Chen decided to try again.
This time, he used half of his strength, combined with the second move of the Seven Injuries Boxing, "Long Pan Taiheng" (Dragon Coils Taiheng).
This move was mainly a sweeping attack, with a grand and decisive style, aiming for a fight to the death. The power was three times greater than the first move, and the backlash was also stronger.
Bai Chen felt his blood surging, as if it would burst out of his chest. After several breaths, he barely suppressed the surging blood.
These two punches also increased the malevolent qi in Bai Chen's body.
But after a brief rest, it was resolved without affecting Bai Chen.
Qin Kelan watched Bai Chen's bravery, her eyes filled with admiration, seeing only his figure.
The third move, "Quan Zhi Huashan" (Fist Points to Huashan)!
A straight punch, discarding all subtleties, a simple and pure punch.
This move revealed the essence of the Seven Injuries Boxing. Using the same half strength, its power was more than twice that of the second move.
But when he used this move, Bai Chen felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
"Bai Chen..."
Seeing Bai Chen injured, Qin Kelan's heart tightened, and she rushed forward to support him.
Bai Chen smiled and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing, just a misalignment of qi. You step back, don't get hurt."
"I will fight with you." Qin Kelan supported Bai Chen, her eyes filled with determination.
Bai Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart, gently caressing Qin Kelan's tear-streaked face.
"I have divine protection, these rotten corpses can't hurt me. But if anything happens to you, who will hold my hand and grow old with me?"
Qin Kelan felt a surge of tears, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at Bai Chen.
In that instant, Qin Kelan's heart melted, her mind filled only with the words "hold your hand and grow old with you."
"You can't be hurt either." Qin Kelan gazed at Bai Chen, holding back her tears, and whispered, "If you die, I will die with you."
"If we can't be happy in life, then we will be together in death, not bad at all!"
Bai Chen felt a surge of fighting spirit, and flames erupted from his body: "Wait for me!"
With that, Bai Chen, enveloped in a fiery whirlwind, plunged into the crowd of zombies.
He knew his current state was impressive, but he was using the Seven Injuries Boxing.
So the next battle should be away from Qin Kelan to avoid her worrying.
The first three moves of the Seven Injuries Boxing had already made him spit blood, and the next four moves would likely be even worse.
But Bai Chen needed to test the next few moves, so he deliberately went deeper into the zombie crowd.
To demonstrate the true power of the Seven Injuries Boxing, Bai Chen used his full strength, even using the Fire Brand Iron Shirt technique to observe his body's condition accurately.
The fourth move, "Wei E Meifeng" (Majestic Meifeng)!
This punch focused on the word "collapse." The intent was already broken before the punch reached its target.
With one punch, over a dozen zombies were instantly sent flying, their bodies scattered everywhere.
This move was twice as powerful as the third, but the backlash was also twice as strong.
Bai Chen felt his internal meridians almost torn apart by the punch, and his body almost lost balance.
"Truly, it first injures oneself, then injures others..."
The seven moves of the Seven Injuries Boxing were named after famous mountains.
It was unknown what connection the founder of this boxing technique had with these famous mountains.
Each punch was filled with overwhelming killing intent, as if it could shatter these famous mountains and rivers.
Bai Chen's movements were slightly delayed, not because of his injuries, but because he was hesitating. After the fourth punch, he had already suffered such injuries. Could he withstand the fifth?
But the endless zombies surrounded him again, leaving no time for Bai Chen to think.
The fifth move, "Kongtong Quan Ying" (Kongtong Fist Shadow)!
With one punch, a hundred shadows appeared, and the flames were instantly ignited.
The flame-filled fist shadows exploded in the darkness, truly showing the terrifying power of the Seven Injuries Boxing.
The entire worm mound shook with the collision of fists and flesh. These shadows had no pattern, completely spontaneous.
Even when hitting the rock walls, they left deep imprints.
The entire cave seemed to be collapsing under the onslaught of these shadowy punches. Even from a distance, Qin Kelan could see the terrifying power of this move.
Despite the countless zombies, they were no match for the endless fist shadows.
Bai Chen felt each punch bringing him closer to the brink of collapse, but he couldn't stop.
The essence of the fifth move was that the punch controlled the person, not the other way around.
The malevolent qi in his body continued to grow, and the Healing Art technique also fully activated.
Only when his true qi was completely depleted did Bai Chen stop. The surrounding area was now empty, with only the burning corpses remaining.
Bai Chen, exhausted, knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his internal injuries having shattered half of his meridians.
Although not the main meridians, it was enough to severely injure most people.
Bai Chen smiled bitterly. Jiesha's choice of this boxing technique was indeed not out of good intentions.
Of course, from Jiesha's perspective, the Seven Injuries Boxing was undoubtedly the most suitable for Bai Chen.
Its power far exceeded the middle rank, but its significant flaw severely affected its quality.
But for Bai Chen, even using the first five moves only resulted in injuries, not serious harm.
However, the sixth move, "Kunlun Huanmie" (Kunlun Annihilation), Bai Chen really dared not use.
Not only was it unclear if he could withstand it, but the description and warnings in the manual made Bai Chen shudder.
Without the resolve to die, there was no need to use it!
As for the seventh move...
Bai Chen immediately dismissed the idea. Just the name alone suggested a cost of either death or severe injury.
But even with just the fifth move, it was enough to shock the world. Within a dozen meters, over a hundred zombies were shattered into pieces.
Suddenly, a cold wind howled from the depths of the cave, making Bai Chen's skin crawl.
In the darkness, more zombies emerged, their steps faster and more steady, unlike the slow-moving zombies Bai Chen had killed earlier.
Each zombie had broken chains hanging from their bodies.
Bai Chen looked at these zombies emerging from the depths, his scalp tingling.
"Is this ever going to end?"
But that wasn't the worst part. In the crowd of zombies, there was a particularly large one. This zombie was three times taller than the average one, with a body so massive it was terrifying.
It wore heavy, pitch-black armor, holding a long spear in one hand, and its limbs were bound by chains as thick as fists, but they had been snapped by this monster.
Its face was pale, without a hint of blood, but it wasn't as completely decayed as the other zombies. Its eyes glowed green, and it exhaled white vapor.
Even from a dozen meters away, Bai Chen could feel the cold wind.
"Damn, is this thing a zombie too?"
