Chapter 363 Hunted for Three Days and Three Nights

The clothes-wrapped, round and perky buttocks were thus exposed to Elder Du's sight.

Elder Du's body went rigid, as if an electric current coursed through him.

"So big, it must feel good!"

For some reason, Elder Du's mind suddenly flashed with this thought.

Moreover, his hand involuntarily covered it.

"Slap!"

A dull sound echoed, the intimate contact of palm and flesh.

Elder Du thought, "As expected! It feels good!"

"Ah~"

The woman cried out, and her body instantly stiffened.

Elder Du secretly thought, "Not good!"

He was about to grab the woman's slender waist, but it was too late.

The woman slammed her palms on the ground, and she soared into the air. She then rapidly spun 720 degrees and landed steadily.

Elder Du, having missed his grab, felt a sense of danger.

He scrambled up nimbly using all fours, channeling spiritual energy to his feet, and fled rapidly into the distance.

The woman looked at Elder Du's retreating back and said with murderous intent, "I, this, young, lady, will, kill, you..."

Each word was gritted between her teeth, as if she wished to shatter her own pearly whites.

As the last word fell, the Xuán Míng Chǐ was once again in the woman's hand.

Violent fire spiritual energy permeated the air. The Xuán Míng Chǐ erupted with even greater power than before, and it was swung down towards Elder Du's back.

Unfortunately, Elder Du had anticipated danger and had already fled ten zhang away.

Having missed her strike, the woman's killing intent intensified.

"Pervert! Stop right there!"

She roared and chased after him.

Elder Du turned a deaf ear to the woman's angry shouts, wishing he had two extra legs.

Having already been hit by the Xuán Míng Chǐ once, it had nearly cost him his life. Sudan Novel Network

Now, this strike was even more ferocious than the previous one. He'd have to be insane not to run.

Elder Du was perplexed. What had gotten into him just now? How could such a dirty thought have arisen? And to act upon it.

By the time he realized it, there was no explaining it away.

Feeling the violent aura behind him, Elder Du dared not stop for a moment.

Thus, one fleeing and one chasing, a day and a night passed in the blink of an eye.

Elder Du was running until he was exhausted, and the woman was also utterly fatigued.

Elder Du began to pant and explain, "Miss, listen to me, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to..."

"Scoundrel, die!"

The woman didn't listen at all and directly interrupted Elder Du.

The next day.

"Miss, aren't you tired? Stop chasing me, I'll apologize, okay?"

"Pervert! Take this!"

...

The third day.

"Miss, I beg you, stop chasing me! I really can't run anymore. At worst, I'll take responsibility for you!"

"Who wants this lewd wretch to take responsibility!"

...

The fourth morning.

"I can't anymore, I can't run! To think that I, Du Ming, with a lifetime of good reputation, would die from exhaustion while running away. Truly, fate is unfair!"

Elder Du finished speaking, slumped to the ground, and panted, "I'm not running anymore. I can't. Kill me if you want!"

Then, he lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes closed.

"You deserve it! For being lewd! For being shameless! For peeking! For... I'm going to kill you! I'll kill you..."

As the woman spoke, she collapsed to the ground and fainted.

For these three days and three nights, neither of them had eaten or drunk anything, yet they had engaged in high-intensity pursuit. It was no wonder they fainted.

They slept until the sun began to set.

Elder Du opened his eyes and saw a vast expanse of dark clouds overhead.

"Is it going to rain?"

He groggily opened his eyes, muttered to himself, and struggled to sit up.

Before he could steady himself, the heavy rain began to pour down.

The rain instantly cleared Elder Du's head.

He licked the rainwater from his slightly chapped lips, struggled to his feet, and intended to find shelter from the rain.

However, his eyes immediately fell upon the woman lying on the ground, still unconscious.

Elder Du hesitated for a moment, walked up to the woman, and called out, "Crazy woman, get up!"

The woman showed no reaction!

Elder Du frowned and raised his voice, "Crazy old hag, get up, or you'll be drowned by the rain if you don't!"

The woman still didn't move.

Elder Du hesitated, squatted down, and nudged the woman, "Hey..."

The woman didn't move.

"Sigh..."

The woman still didn't move.

Elder Du sensed something was wrong, and quickly grabbed the woman's wrist.

The moment he grabbed it, he was so startled that he quickly let go.

The woman's body was as hot as boiling water, capable of scalding one's skin.

Elder Du then noticed that the woman's face was as red as a perfectly ripe lobster.

What was going on?

Elder Du thought for a moment and understood.

The woman must have, in her rage, repeatedly used fire spiritual energy to forcibly activate the Xuán Míng Chǐ, resulting in a backlash.

What should he do?

Save her? Or not?

Elder Du hesitated.

If he saved her? When she woke up, she would go mad and try to kill him again. He couldn't handle that.

If he didn't save her? The woman's current state was all because of him. If anything happened to her, he would surely be consumed by guilt. If a heart demon arose, damaging his Dao heart, he would be stuck in the Saint King realm forever.

With this thought, Elder Du gritted his teeth, picked up the woman, and looked around for a place to shelter from the rain.

Perhaps heaven took pity on him. With a sweep of his divine sense, he spotted a cave not far ahead.

At this moment, the rain was as heavy as soybeans.

Elder Du, carrying the woman, rushed towards the cave.

The cave was very shallow, devoid of any beastly aura, and very clean.

Elder Du placed the woman against the cave wall, then used his spiritual energy to dry his clothes.

Only then did he sit beside the woman and inject his divine sense into her body to investigate her condition.

Upon investigation, he discovered that the fire spirit root in the woman's Dantian was already an extremely vivid crimson, like a blazing flame.

"Heaven-grade supreme fire spirit root!"

Elder Du exclaimed in surprise.

No wonder this young woman possessed such terrifying cultivation.

No wonder the backlash of fire spiritual energy within her was so severe! It must have been the full manifestation of the spirituality of the Heaven-grade supreme fire spirit root.

"Huh! What is this?"

Within the flames burning from the Heaven-grade supreme fire spirit root, there was a faint, illusory figure.

The phantom looked like a large bird dancing in the fire, changing its postures.

As the phantom bird shifted, the flames on the fire spirit root burned even more fiercely.

What was that phantom, and why was it so terrifying?

Elder Du withdrew his divine sense, his brow furrowed.

He was now certain that the woman's current condition was absolutely due to the phantom within her fire spirit root.

What should he do then?

How could he help the woman?

One plan after another flashed through Elder Du's mind, only to be dismissed.

Suddenly, Elder Du's eyes lit up.
