Chapter 68: Soccer Ball.
---
"I curse the old man Xuan Yi!" Yin Zhe railed internally, his thoughts frantic. "He's the Bastard that told me to come here to look for some low-level wild herbs!. He said it was safe! I only wanted to be an alchemist! I wanted to make easy money! I did not sign up to die as a crispy sacrifice to a giant, flaming chicken!"
He pumped his arms harder, the adrenaline was overriding the searing pain in his back and arms. He was not giving up. He knew he couldn't. He had survived Rebirth, he had defeated an entire arena of cultivators, and he had just dodged a heresy charge. He was not going to be ended by a glorified pigeon with fire breath.
"I am determined not to give up! I have to stand and fight!" Just as he focused his determination, the eagle swooped in low, while its metallic grey form blurring between two large trees. It moved faster than Yin Zhe had anticipated.
(Rake! Rrrrippp!)
The razor-sharp talons slashed across his back.
