Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Over-cultivation, the woman falls into a coma!

"Thank goodness, you’re alright!"

Seeing the headless corpse in front of her, with her hand still tightly clutching his calf, the woman couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile.

Reflecting on her previous decision, she never expected that she would end up helping an outsider and killing her own companion!

But upon further thought, indeed it was her companion who, out of greed, had struck first and ended up being counterattacked. It could only be said that he was at fault from the beginning.

Extremely weak, the woman still apologized to Lu Chen, "I’m so sorry, he returned kindness with ingratitude..."

Lu Chen sighed and said, "But at least, I survived. Besides, if you hadn’t tugged at him earlier, my spear would have pierced my heart."

The woman had crawled over and, after grabbing the man’s leg and saying a sentence, she fainted from shock and knew nothing of what happened afterward.

But seeing that the man had lost a hand and his head was lying aside, she understood that Lu Chen’s skills were extraordinary!

"You’re very capable."

With a thousand words in her mind, the woman could only utter those four when they reached her lips.

"Thank you," Lu Chen whispered softly, then asked, "What do you plan to do now?"

The woman gave a bitter smile and, pointing to her legs, she said, "Look at me, what plan could I possibly have?"

Lu Chen immediately looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Your legs?"

The woman said, "My legs were already injured, and when I fell beside you, it was actually Xu Lao San who had shattered my leg bones."

Lu Chen silently realized that the woman must have sensed something was wrong when the man was approaching him, so she had crawled over!

"Since you can’t walk for now, why don’t you... keep watch for me? I need to cultivate here to recover some of my strength for self-defense. Otherwise, with just the two of us, even the most common demonic beast would make us its prey!"

"There’s no other choice at the moment," the woman sighed, "I was actually about to suggest the same thing, but I was afraid you wouldn’t trust me."

Lu Chen nodded slightly and said, "If there’s any movement, just wake me up. The cultivation technique I practice is like being asleep!"

Lu Chen wasn’t wrong about this. From Yuzhou City to the imperial city, whenever he cultivated in the carriage, he would sometimes be woken up by bumps and dips in the road, even without Xiao Hei’s reminders.

Lu Chen also guessed that it was either because his strength had increased or that he had become more proficient with the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method.

After nodding slightly to the woman, Lu Chen closed his left eye.

With the woman present, he did not want to simply absorb Fire Spiritual Power, lest it lead to some trouble.

Now that he could feel the Spiritual Energy, he no longer needed to open his eyes to search for its presence.

He slowly immersed himself and began the Spirit Infusion.

It was as if he had drunk a cool sip of spring water on a hot summer day, and Lu Chen’s nine meridians felt an immense comfort.

But as the Spiritual Power focused in his lower abdomen, Lu Chen discovered an incredibly unbelievable phenomenon!

He had not deliberately absorbed the Fire Spiritual Power, yet the Spiritual Power gathering in his lower abdomen was mostly of Fire nature!

What on earth was happening?

Keep in mind, his efficiency had been extremely low before!

But now, with the same method of cultivation as before, he was achieving the same, or even better results!

Was it a fluke, or was it due to the mysteries of the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method?

Lu Chen couldn’t help but immerse himself in cultivation, forgetting his earlier intention of just recovering a little strength, and began to methodically absorb the Spiritual Energy to refine for his own use.

Warm currents flowed through his body from the abdomen, providing a comfort that made Lu Chen somewhat lose himself!

He had no intention of stopping and kept cultivating until the Spiritual Power within him was brimming, unable to increase even a tiny bit more.

Naturally, if one depletes their Spiritual Power and then cultivates, the body can store more Spiritual Power.

Lu Chen was thrilled by this change, but he was also secretly chiding himself for losing track of time!

He suddenly opened his eyes and found that it was already noon!

The sun was high overhead, its scorching rays falling down, yet unable to fully penetrate into the abyss!

He also suddenly remembered, the woman had been keeping watch for him, but now, she had completely lost consciousness!

He didn’t know if she had fainted from the heat or if her injuries were too severe to carry on!

Lu Chen took a deep breath—his chest still hurt, but it was bearable.

Just as he was about to move the woman to a cooler place to avoid the fierce sun and then search the other three corpses for some healing medicine, voices came from not far away again!

His heart skipped a beat. Were more people coming?

And judging by the footsteps, there seemed to be quite a few!
