Chapter 23: Pitiful

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The bone-splitting lizard bit into Xu Lingjun, putting half of his body into its mouth, then it began to wail mournfully.

Fresh blood flowed from its mouth as two broken fangs flew out from its gaping mouth.

Xu Lingjun was dazed. He did not expect to really have broken its big teeth.

Although his mind was muddled, his hands did not stop.

His fist did not stop as he used all his strength to throw a Killing-flame Fist at the side of the bone-splitting lizard’s forehead.

It was as if a heavy hammer had been smashed into a concrete slab.

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of the collision, the bone-splitting lizard let out a wail. Its huge body was directly smashed onto the ground by the fist as if it had been hit in the head by an excavator.

Feeling dizzy, it instinctively wanted to spit Xu Lingjun out. However, it could not shake him off no matter how it swung its mouth left and right.

It had hurt him.

Indeed, it had broken through his skin, but it had also broken two of its longest teeth. The remaining teeth were still stuck in his muscles and couldn’t be pulled out.

How thick was his skin?

It was the first time it encountered someone with such thick skin, to the point it couldn’t bite down or pull its teeth out!

At this time, Xu Lingjun also came to his senses.

It didn’t… hurt?

No, it hurt.

It hurt like a vaccine shot… It was like being poked by a dozen needles in a row.

When he was playing house during his younger days, he liked to give others injections, but the thing he was most afraid of was to get an injection, let alone an injection from a demonic beast!

“Let go!” After a life-and-death experience, Xu Lingjun’s heart was filled with ferocity.

He pushed Wang Qingya away and used his other hand to grab the upper jaw of the bone-splitting lizard tightly.

Black fist force condensed in the heart of his fist, and he smashed it fiercely at the forehead of the bone-splitting lizard.

Bang!

Bang!!

“Let go of me!!!”

The bone-splitting lizard was so fierce that it didn’t let go even after being punched a few times. Instead, it was desperately swinging its mouth left and right as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

If he was swallowed, it would be over.

There was only a fine line between life and death. Xu Lingjun’s eyes were red.

His mother didn’t give birth to him for a beast to eat.

Xu Lingjun couldn’t care less about the fact that the Killing-flame Fist was extremely harmful to his body. When he was practicing, though he didn’t feel any damage, he was afraid that it would bring hidden injuries, so he had restrained himself.

But now, he was about to be eaten by a demonic beast.

He couldn’t care less about restraining himself anymore.

Under his full strength, the fist force circulated and roared in his veins. Even though he hadn’t reached the Qi-gathering Tier, he had reached stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier, and the qi power had already spread throughout his limbs and bones.

Now, under the life-and-death situation, Xu Lingjun had almost unleashed 300% of his potential.

He gave it his all.

The qi power gathered like a vast ocean, and flowed along the fist force towards the bone-splitting lizard’s head and face.

The sound of hammering could be heard continuously.

The bone-splitting lizard was extremely tough. Even though it was screaming in pain and struggling with all its might, it didn’t let go of Xu Lingjun.

The man and beast were in a stalemate.

However, during the stalemate, along with the sound of bones breaking, the bone-splitting lizard’s huge bone armor had already been cracked.

The bone-splitting lizard struggled even harder. The man and beast rolled on the ground.

Gradually… Xu Lingjun gained the upper hand!

Xu Lingjun did not know whether it was an illusion or not, but he felt that his strength was getting stronger and stronger. It was as if the potential hidden in his body was being activated at the moment of life and death.

His qi power was also being continuously concentrated and fused as he unleashed his full strength again and again…

If it was not for the fact that he was about to be eaten by this demonic beast, he might have been able to feel the changes in himself. It was as if… He was undergoing a huge breakthrough in the life and death crisis…

But now, to prevent himself from being eaten, he could only smash at the bone-splitting lizard in front of him with all his might. He smashed it until it was dizzy and wailed endlessly.

“Let go already!!!” He roared and raised the bone-splitting lizard’s several-ton body up high, then slammed it into the ground.

Everyone could only feel the ground tremble slightly!

Xu Lingjun had already turned to ride on the bone-splitting lizard’s neck, smashing down viciously, one punch after another.

Its skull was smashed, its eyes were smashed, and its tendons were hanging outside. It looked extremely miserable. In the end, even its tongue was hanging out of its mouth, unable to be retracted.

Even so, it was still breathing, shaking its head desperately, still not letting go.

Finally, its last bit of strength was exhausted.

Its body fell to the ground weakly, and it could not move anymore. Only its eyes, which had not closed, were telling the painful torture it had suffered before it died.

“You won’t let go even if you die? You have guts…” Xu Lingjun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He panted heavily in shock and shouted, “F*ck, this scared me to death.”

“Xiao Jun!!!” Sobs rang out. Wang Qingya could not care less that the demonic beast was still connected to Xu Lingjun. She rushed over and hugged Xu Lingjun as she wailed loudly. As she cried, she punched him a few times, tears and snot streaming down her face. She cried loudly, “Why didn’t you dodge? Why did you… What would I do if you died…”

She bit Xu Lingjun’s shoulder, then covered her mouth and cried even more bitterly.

While crying, she hammered him hard, changing hands after a while.

The cold attitude that she had deliberately pretended to have in school was now completely ruined.

She had witnessed Xu Lingjun protect her and even experienced Xu Lingjun pushing her away.

She felt as if the sky had collapsed.

She came to look for him because she wanted to take care of him, accompany him, and not let him be lonely.

She did not want him to die to save her…

Huge drops of tears flowed down her cheeks. The originally charming beauty was crying in an extremely ugly manner. Her tears and snot were mixed together, and she no longer cared about her appearance.

“I’m fine, Sister Yaya, I’m fine.”

Xu Lingjun wanted to cry too. So what if he had lived two lifetimes? This was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying incident in his life.

To being half-eaten alive by a ferocious and terrifying demonic beast… The feeling of being swallowed into the beast’s stomach at any moment made him feel disgusted.

This was the first time he had experienced something like this, and he was scared to death.

It was only because Wang Qingya was crying badly. Otherwise, he might have already burst into tears.

But even so, he was hugging Wang Qingya tightly, his face pale with fear. Wang Qingya could feel Xu Lingjun trembling.

No matter who it was, the first time one escaped from a life and death situation, their reaction wouldn’t be too good.

He was afraid. He was afraid, yet he still pushed me away and faced the terrifying demonic beast for her.

The fear in Wang Qingya’s heart eased slightly, but she hugged Xu Lingjun even tighter.

She buried Xu Lingjun tightly in her arms, wanting to use her chest to give him a sense of security, to tell him that she was alive, he was also alive. They were both alive and well.

The siblings desperately used their bodies to comfort each other and give each other a sense of security.

Neither of them noticed that at this moment, everyone on the field, even Sect Master Mingri and the many elders of the Riyueming Sect who were on the other side of the virtual image conversion device, had fallen into a dead silence.

“Just now… What had happened?” After a long time, Guo Zheng’s confused voice rang out as if he had just woken up from a dream.

“No… I don’t know,” Guo Xu was also stunned. He stared blankly at the bone-splitting lizard that was lying on the ground without any signs of life.

All the students looked at Xu Lingjun and then at the lifeless bone-splitting lizard that was lying on the ground.

Tears seemed to be dripping down from its eye sockets that had been smashed open.

It had been beaten to death.

Before it died, it seemed to be crying rather sadly. It was like a weak beast that was being beaten to death by a person. Although they knew that it deserved to die, looking at its tragic death, they really felt that it was very pitiful..
