Chapter 81: Severely Injured

Not one, not two, but seven whole daggers which were meant for throwing, went straight into the previous wound, greatly enlarging it in the process.

The blood spilled soaked my clothes before I dragged my body to the other side. I took out the water bottle from the small bag tied to my waist. I hadn't brought my flute with me. Deftly, I opened it, spilled the remaining water, and collected the purple blood.

Yeah well, the beast wouldn't remain there and let me keep on filling my bottle. After standing still for a short time due to pain, it violently jerked its body.

Only half of my small bottle was filled at that time. The wound was too big. Even with the extraordinary healing capabilities of demon beasts, that would still take another four to five days to heal.

The anger of the tiger was immense but Sheng Yin had no care for it. Now I couldn't even guess if she was brave or just foolish as the girl actually managed to stab the demon beast on the neck.

The response to that was a tiger kick on my shoulder. Even though I had sensed that attack beforehand, I was just not quick enough this time. My left shoulder was partially dislocated. I heavily grunted in the pain that followed.

Holding the sword with my other hand, I slashed that damn limb with my maximum strength. My weapon reached the bone of that leg but I pulled out. I didn't want my sword to get stuck.

I then crawled out from below the tiger before its whole body heavily fell on the ground. The tiger kept roaring and got the foolish girl as well.

''Ahhh!'' She practically flew and hit a large tree. Her body went limp as she slid down from its trunk, twitching on the floor.

Her sword was embedded deep in the Purple Lightning Tiger's neck. Still not dead but in immense pain, the beast was busy moving its head around

Despite being this powerful, it didn't have the intelligence to pull out the sword from its body. The earlier slash on its hind limb also made it difficult to walk.

I held the bottle with my feet and closed it with a cork. This much blood was more than enough. Strenuously, I sheathed the sword behind my back and held my dislocated shoulder with my right hand.

Standing up, I went to check on Sheng Yin. She seemed more injured than me. Well, that was expected, trying to mess with a grade two demon beast. However, when I saw her up close, I finally found out that her condition was far worse.

Her clothes were half ripped by the tiger's claws. Crimson red marks made five distinct trails on her body, starting from her right waist to her left upper back. She lay face down on the grass, blood leaking from her mouth.

However, she was still alive and weakly stretched her hands towards me. I couldn't clearly hear what she was trying to say with just my mortal ears. Spirit sense helped me here.

''Wa…ter. I want to d-ri,'' she coughed mouthfuls of blood. Her internal injuries were worse than what I saw externally.

Now there were two choices. Either I help her or just leave her here. Demon beasts would be coming in just a few minutes. I knew I was in no condition to fight in this state. So if I was to think with a cold-blooded mind, I would leave her here to die.

''I just… please…'' She coughed again. Foams formed on her mouth as she tried to breathe desperately. 

I crouched down and slid her bloodsoaked hairs behind her ear. A face that looked so bright earlier was now morphed with pain. She reeked of her own blood but I had seen and smelled worse, I was not repulsed by it.

''I will help you then.'' I guess some humanity was still left within me.

I had killed a lot but saved only a few. I wanted to save Hu Shuo that day, but it was not possible when he had already turned into a zombie. Sheng Yin was different, she could be saved if I reached the city quick enough.

For this assessment, practitioners had to bring a part of the beast they had hunted as proof. I stood up and moved towards the dying tiger with extreme speed.

Strength had left its body and the beast could not even cry as I cut both of its ears. They were larger than my palms but I somehow fitted the bloody things inside my side bag.

''Sorry but you can't drink water now,'' I said, coming before Sheng Yin. I made her stand up against the tree trunk and carried her light, limp body over my right shoulder.

My other hand was swollen and unusable. Using only one hand to do all things was not just tiring but also frustrating.

My sword's hilt touched her chin as she muttered indistinct words even my spirit sense couldn't catch. I didn't stay there for another second and ran towards the city at full speed. My shoulder also needed treatment so I couldn't delay.

The smell of Purple Blood was so thick that it engulfed ours. I was already hearing roars and cries of various predators heading straight for the pond. If any of those came our way, I would have no choice but to leave Sheng Yin and run for my life.

Although she was very light when I was carrying her with a Viscera Purifying body, her weight still slowed down my speed by 10%. I was also very tired by now so my maximum speed was only 70% of what I had at my best.

While running, I suddenly saw two flying deers out and about searching for something to play with. I did not give them more than one glance. These creatures only attacked when they were either extremely hungry or were provoked.

When I ran past them, one tried to follow me but quickly lost interest. Luck finally seemed to have taken pity on me as I met no demon beast from the pond to the clearing.

The earthen boar had gone somewhere else and I was already out of its territory in this short time of absence.
