Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Life and death, life-saving nine-colored flower

"Damn it!" Shi Yu felt death approaching, and instinctively used his power to resist, wanting to live.

He didn't know what power he was using, but the speed of King Kong's Great Palm's descent slowed down.

He used Naruto's Instant Transmission again, leaving his original position. The moment he disappeared, King Kong's Great Palm arrived, leaving a clear palm print on the ground in that area.

"Phew," Shi Yu gasped, still shaken and feeling like he had narrowly escaped death.

"Was that the power of Time?" Shi Yu's mind was shaken, remembering the power of Time he felt after absorbing the Soul Ring.

"What is this power?" Zhao Wuji frowned. His attack had slowed down just now. It wasn't that he had held back, but that it had been affected by the other party's power.

He felt that this kid was increasingly strange, and his killing intent grew stronger. He was also competing with Shi Yu. Could a Soul Saint like him not kill such a kid?

Zhao Wuji continued to pursue, almost killing Shi Yu each time, but Shi Yu always managed to avoid him.

Shi Yu began to consciously use the power of Time, Naruto's Instant Transmission, and Time delay, which slightly reduced the pressure.

But it was still immense, and each time he narrowly escaped death. If he had been even half a beat slower, he might have been a corpse.

"Can you please hurry up and get lost?" Shi Yu cursed, hoping Zhao Wuji would leave quickly.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly realized something: if he could instantly move, could he also make Zhao Wuji use Naruto's Instant Transmission?

If he moved forward and Zhao Wuji moved backward, wouldn't the distance between them instantly widen significantly?

Thinking of this, Shi Yu immediately tried it. He consciously left a Space channel in the place he left, allowing Zhao Wuji to also use Naruto's Instant Transmission like himself.

Several attempts failed, and it wasn't until the fifth attempt that he successfully moved Zhao Wuji back more than twenty meters.

Zhao Wuji's expression became serious. This person could actually make him passively use Space movement.

After one successful attempt, Shi Yu frequently tried it, moving forward himself and making Zhao Wuji move backward, which further eased the pressure.

The pursuit continued, and unknowingly, more than half an hour had passed.

Zhao Wuji still hadn't managed to kill Shi Yu, or even truly attack Shi Yu.

The other party's Space power was too slippery, making it difficult for him to be attacked.

Shi Yu also gained some understanding of the powers he possessed and used them more skillfully, no longer as flustered as he was at the beginning.

He tried to use the first Soul Ring he had just obtained, but found that it didn't exist.

The self who came to ten thousand years ago did not have a Soul Ring, but the powers of Space and Time could be used normally.

Moreover, he felt that he was much stronger than before. The self who had absorbed the first Soul Ring should not have been able to use the power of Space as he wished. There was a problem here.

As for what the problem was, he naturally wasn't in the mood to think about it now, still in a thrilling escape.

Zhao Wuji's energy compression still caused him considerable damage, and he was very tired now, feeling like he couldn't hold on much longer.

But he had to grit his teeth and persevere. Being caught meant death, and the instinct to survive drove him to keep fleeing, not daring to stop.

"Little beast, let's see how you run now," Zhao Wuji suddenly said with satisfaction.

Shi Yu was still a little confused, and moved out more than a hundred meters again.

He landed and ran forward according to inertia, but after seeing the scenery ahead, he quickly braked, his face full of panic.

There was no road ahead of him, only a huge crack. If he went any further, he would fall.

"I can only gamble that this isn't two hundred meters wide," Shi Yu made a decision in a flash of lightning, no longer slowing down, but accelerating forward.

Stopping would definitely mean death, but running forward still gave him a chance to reach the other side.

He used Space movement again, appearing in the air very close to the other side. His body was in a running posture in the air, trying hard to get closer to that side.

But he was still more than ten meters away from the ground on the other side and couldn't land on the ground.

"Ah!" Shi Yu fell under the effect of gravity, trying hard to use the powers of Space and Time, attempting to save himself.

The bottom of this crack was out of sight, and he didn't know how deep it was. Falling down would most likely mean death.

"Go to hell!" Zhao Wuji stopped on the other side and didn't follow him down. He decisively used King Kong's Great Palm again, trying to knock Shi Yu down.

Being in the air made Shi Yu very uncomfortable, and he was half a beat slower than usual. This time, King Kong's Great Palm hit him.

"Zhao Wuji, I will never let you go!" Shi Yu shouted angrily, having formed an irreconcilable enmity with Zhao Wuji.

His body was split open by the blow, and he was almost shattered.

This was a Soul Saint's attack, which was unbearable for Shi Yu's current physique. Once hit, it would be fatal.

Shi Yu's consciousness was blurred, and his body fell down, still tightly holding the Man-Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone in his hand.

Zhao Wuji stood on the edge of the crack, watching Shi Yu fall down, his brows slightly furrowed. It was a pity about that Soul Bone.

"Consider yourself unlucky. Such a large crack suddenly appeared," Zhao Wuji looked left and right.

This was a crack over a thousand meters long, and most of it was also over two hundred meters wide.

This should be a crack caused by ground movement. In the Star Dou Great Forest, which is larger than many kingdoms and duchies, there are some such terrains.

"This kid is definitely dead," Zhao Wuji muttered to himself, still a little uneasy.

He wanted to go down and see the kid die with his own eyes, but the height of this crack was a bit discouraging. If he went down, he might not be able to get back up.

He couldn't fly, and in the case of not being sure if he could jump up, he was still unwilling to take the risk.

"Why didn't I hear a landing sound? Is it because this crack is too deep?" Zhao Wuji wanted to hear a thudding sound of landing.

But he didn't hear it, and he felt suspicious, not knowing what was going on.

The worst-case scenario was naturally that this person might have landed on something soft, which is why there was no sound of collision with a hard object.

The good situation was that the crack was very deep, and although no sound was heard, the other party was completely dead.

"It's hard for this person to survive," Zhao Wuji also didn't indulge in wishful thinking and left here. He had to quickly meet up with Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others. It would be best if they didn't actually encounter danger.

At the bottom of the dark crack, which was out of sight, Shi Yu lay on his back, breathing rapidly, almost really dying.

This crack was very deep, and falling down like this would definitely mean death.

Fortunately, he possessed the powers of Space and Time. Just now, stimulated by the instinct to survive, he burst out with potential, enduring serious injuries and using Space energy to support himself, acting as a buffer.

The power of Time gave him more buffering time, and finally, he landed at a relatively slow speed, not falling to his death at the bottom.

"What kind of terrible luck do I have?" Shi Yu felt like he was dying, his whole body aching. If this continued, he might not be able to live until tomorrow.

He still didn't give up on life. Death is feared by everyone, and he was no exception.

If he could live, he had to strive to live, even if his current situation was so bad that it was almost impossible to survive.

He just lay on the ground, using the corner of his eye to look around, wanting to see if there was anything that could help him.

Soon, his gaze was attracted by a point of light. There seemed to be some plant glowing over there.

He tried hard to adjust his body so that he could see clearly over there. Even a slight movement caused agonizing pain, and his body felt like it was falling apart.

He still adjusted his body and looked more carefully. The plant over there was a begonia flower with nine leaves.

The reason he judged it so accurately was because he saw nine kinds of light. Each leaf emitted a kind of light, a total of nine kinds, exactly nine leaves.

"What kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures is this?" Shi Yu didn't understand, but he knew that this begonia flower was not simple.

After all, how could a normal begonia flower glow, unless he was seeing things.

He looked carefully several times and confirmed that he wasn't seeing things, but that this begonia flower was really glowing.

"I hope this thing can help me," Shi Yu couldn't care about anything else and could only hope for a miracle.

He had no other choice now. Either wait for death where he was, or eat the begonia flower and fight for a sliver of life.

Of course, this might also accelerate death, but any outcome was better than sitting back and waiting for death.

Shi Yu tried to move towards that side, in so much pain that he was almost fainting.

"My brain is barely working anymore," Shi Yu stopped moving and instead used the power of Space to make the begonia flower come to him.

The begonia flower was broken by his Space power and slowly floated towards him.

As it got closer, Shi Yu smelled the fragrance of the begonia flower and only felt comfortable in his body, and the pain was relieved a little.

"This begonia flower might really be able to save my life," hope ignited in Shi Yu's eyes.
