Chapter 519 - 517: Lightning Pig
"Whoosh!"
The Lightning Pig soared out, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, directly attacking Chen Tianlong.
The Lightning Pig was brimming with enormous energy. This time, Chen Tianlong had a bad premonition, as he was already starting to feel chest tightness, a physiological reaction born from him—a deadly threat.
However, he held onto a firm belief that he promised Shen Yan he would protect her. If he dodged now, Shen Yan would be in mortal danger.
"Alright, I don’t believe in this evil, let’s go for it."
Chen Tianlong gritted his teeth and threw a punch, not knowing whether his right arm had any effect.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion echoed, smoke billowed up front, blending into the dim night without revealing a vast scene.
Just as a light haze dissipated, a massive figure swiftly flew towards him. Before Chen Tianlong could strike, he was fiercely rammed in the chest.
"Ah!"
For the first time in his life, Chen Tianlong felt this kind of heart-wrenching pain. His entire body was sent flying, crashing into a rock not far away. The rock shattered under the powerful impact, scattering countless fragments.
Shen Yan’s eyes widened; she had never anticipated such tremendous attacking force.
The Lightning Pig surprisingly possessed near Profound Dao level strength, appearing to be Yellow Dao Five Stars but was actually Profound Dao One Star.
In a normal state, the Lightning Pig’s attack was at most Yellow Dao Seven Stars, but it was different now, as it was in a berserk peak state, rapidly increasing its strength.
This is where Spirit Beasts differ from humans; their likelihood of going berserk is very high.
At this point, after Chen Tianlong spat out blood, he felt some of his meridians had been damaged, nearly causing him to faint. However, now his body was extremely weak, needing healing, or his life would be at risk.
Thus, Chen Tianlong hurriedly sat up, disregarding much else, and directly practiced the Heart Method Mantra.
Why do this?
Because Chen Tianlong discovered from a young age that this Heart Method was very peculiar. Whenever he was injured, as long as he operated according to the Heart Method several times, he would find the pain easing. And as the years passed, the healing effect became increasingly apparent.
Just some time ago, after he was injured, he practiced the Heart Method and found his internal injuries recovering at a visibly fast pace, which surprised him.
Thus, when Chen Tianlong was shot, the doctor said he had a good physique; in truth, it was not so, but due to the Heart Method.
"Young man, how have things been lately?"
Suddenly, an unknown voice emerged, startling Chen Tianlong, as he looked around only to see Shen Yan hiding behind a rock, taking chances to slowly move along another side.
"Don’t look around, to be precise, my apparition is within this mountain, and our conversation is being transmitted via brainwave communication, meaning you don’t need to speak out; just think of what you want to say."
When Chen Tianlong was clueless, suddenly the voice sounded again.
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong felt a bit dumbfounded; what was going on, brainwave communication, how was it as if he was communicating like the masters in Paladin?
But after a moment’s pause, Chen Tianlong followed the old man’s instructions, thinking the words he wanted to say, "Old man, who are you, can you hear me speaking?"
"Haha, Chen Tianlong you’re truly endearing, of course, I can, and there’s another secret that will amaze you even further." The elder’s voice continued, although Chen Tianlong found it familiar, there was no impression of the elder in his mind.
"What secret?"
At this moment, Chen Tianlong’s organs were almost hurting unbearably, and the old man kept the suspense, really making him frustrated.
"Haha, try closing your eyes and then use your Cultivation Technique." The old man’s voice sounded playful, akin to an old mischievous child.
Before the old man finished speaking, Chen Tianlong closed his eyes; he had felt very tired and wanted to close his eyes for healing, fitting his intentions.
However, upon closing his eyes, Chen Tianlong was shocked to find himself entering a mysterious space, wearing nothing but a pair of underwear.
In the mysterious space, an elder was sitting cross-legged on a high platform.
"Old man, was it you talking to me earlier?"
Chen Tianlong entered a space like a dream, looking at everything around him, becoming very excited; it was his first time entering such a mysterious space.
At this moment, he could feel his injuries rapidly healing, much to his surprise.
"If it wasn’t me, who else could it be?" The old man rolled his eyes at Chen Tianlong and said.
"Ah-hah, old man, aren’t you the herding grandfather I met when I was young?"
Chen Tianlong instantly recognized Yue Xiaoyao by appearance, with a distinctive face full of white beard, extremely long hair, seeming like it hadn’t been cut for decades.
"Hey, not bad, you remember me, didn’t waste the help I provided." Yue Xiaoyao chuckled, then mysteriously said, "Do you know where you are now?"
"I don’t know."
Originally wanting to ask, and now the old man brought it up, Chen Tianlong took the chance, "Where is this place? It feels strange, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is so abundant."
Since entering this mysterious space, Chen Tianlong discovered his Heart Method had nearly reached its peak state. And the injuries on his body were visibly healing at a fast pace.
"Our brainwaves are on the same channel, meaning in times of crisis, your body’s instincts will connect to my brain, causing you to appear in my healing space. As for where this is, I cannot disclose."
Yue Xiaoyao spoke very mysteriously: "But rest assured, our brainwaves are synchronized. Whenever you need me, just think of Yue Xiaoyao, and I’ll appear again. Ah, having slept for over a century, it’s truly boring!"
"Whoa! Slept for over a century? Do you think you’re a millennium old demon? I haven’t read much, don’t trick me!" Chen Tianlong evidently didn’t believe Yue Xiaoyao’s words, rolling his eyes at him in frustration.
Although Yue Xiaoyao seemed to have some skills, claiming a century sounded improbable to Chen Tianlong.
"..."
Yue Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment; however, he couldn’t disclose the truth to Chen Tianlong just yet, choosing a vague explanation for him, "Haha, Chen Tianlong, you’ll understand later. I just want to say... look outside."
Yue Xiaoyao waved a hand towards a side of the space, instantly revealing the outside scene entirely.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong seemed to enter a vast surrounding space, while the opposite side resembled a monitor, everything under control.
"Oh my, this is truly amazing, am I dreaming?" Chen Tianlong couldn’t believe it all, happiness arriving too abruptly, leaving no room to react.
While pondering, suddenly a "gurgle" sound drew his attention outside. Looking over, Chen Tianlong saw it was the Lightning Pig, charging towards him.
