Zi Chen sprinted along the way, leaving deep footprints on the snow. From the start of the chase to now, he had already run more than five kilometers, but he was still running.

Before, he could still hear the roars and curses of Zhao Can and the rest, but after that, Zi Chen could no longer hear anything. Using his legs, he left the three people at the fourth level of zhenqi far behind.

After the revival of life and death, although Zi Chen did not have a zhenqi, his strength had increased by a lot. He didn't even feel the slightest bit exhausted as he sprinted all the way here.

"Zi Chen actually did not die? "What the hell is going on?" Zhao Can and the other two looked at the footprints which were chasing after Zi Chen. On the way, they were very confused about Zi Chen's situation.

They were both friar and they were both Fighter, so they could naturally differentiate between life and death. Zi Chen had indeed died before, but the current Zi Chen was still alive.

"Hmph, he's not dead because his luck is good, but he's definitely going to die this time!" Zhao Can said coldly with a gloomy face.

Even he didn't know what kind of situation Zi Chen was in or why he had come back to life.

"Without the zhenqi, Zi Chen is even faster than a f * cking rabbit. If I catch him, I must personally kill him and then stand by his side to see if he will come back to life again! " Lin Hao scolded.

Lin Ying frowned and said: "Look at the footprints on the ground, Zi Chen probably did not have any zhenqi. Although he did not die, the dantian is really crippled, so why did he try to steal the Chinese sage root?

"idiocy!" The gloomy Zhao Can could not help but roll his eyes as he ridiculed.

"Zhao Can, let me warn you, be more courteous when talking to us brothers!" Zhao Can's mockery made him angry.

"Humph!" Zhao Can coldly snorted, and ridiculed: "The Chinese sage root is only a type of herbal medicine, and can only help others to break through, it simply cannot be repaired. Let alone five hundred years old, even a thousand year old Chinese sage root would not be able to repair it! "

"What do you mean?" Lin Ying stared at Zhao Can.

"What I mean is, if we catch Zi Chen, he will definitely die. If he directly devours the Chinese sage root, he will also die without a doubt. So no matter what, Zi Chen has to die!" A dense killing intent flashed past Zhao Can's eyes.

"Die, how do I die?" We can't even catch him now. " Lin Hao rolled his eyes.

"Right now, we can't catch him, but he can't escape either. Without zhenqi and food, how far can he run?" Zhao Can ridiculed.

Zhao Can's analysis was very reasonable, but he did not understand Zi Chen's fortuitous encounter, nor did he know that although Zi Chen did not have a zhenqi, he was definitely not an ordinary person. After going through the Meridian Purification, his physique could already be said to be terrifying.

Zi Chen had already traveled several kilometers from them, and the distance between them was still increasing.

Zi Chen ran without food. Feeling thirsty and hungry, he grabbed handfuls of snow balls and gulped them down his stomach.

Night quickly arrived. Tonight, there was neither moon nor stars, but there was white snow on the ground. As a result, even though it was an incomparably dark night, one could still see several hundred meters in the distance.

However, compared to during the day, his line of sight at night was still unclear.

Thus, as the night descended, Zi Chen found a cave. However, he did not enter, and when he was still several tens of meters away from the cave, he suddenly stopped, and walked towards the other side. Looking like he was walking dozens of meters away, he then walked back step by step, and retreated back several hundred meters.

Because they had retreated backwards, the footprints on the ground appeared somewhat large, but they were not obvious at night. Seeing these big footprints, Zi Chen sneered, then turned and ran towards another direction. Only this time, Zi Chen was clearly more cautious. Every time he took a step, he would squat down and carefully cover his tracks with the snow on the side.

The snow continued to fall heavily, saving Zi Chen a lot of effort. He only covered it up slightly, and the snow that fell afterwards would completely cover his footprints.

As a result, even though Zi Chen's speed was very slow, he was able to smoothly escape their pursuit.

After walking so slowly and after passing by two mountain peaks, Zi Chen finally started to speed up, no longer paying any attention to the footprints behind him. After grabbing a few handfuls of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, Zi Chen started to sprint again.

This time, Zi Chen was sprinting with all his might, and did not hesitate to exhaust all of his stamina. After running for a few dozen kilometers, he finally stopped and panted heavily.

Zhao Can and the others did not rest either, they still followed the footprints and chased after Zi Chen. It wasn't until the latter half of the night that they arrived outside the cave.

The footprints on the ground were very shallow. Occasionally, there would be some uneven ground.

"The footprints are covered with snow. We need to speed up."

Seeing that there were no more footprints in front, Lin Hao frowned and said. Then, he increased his speed and continued to chase.

"idiocy!"

There was a trace of ridicule at the corner of Zhao Can's mouth, and he secretly cursed in his heart. Lin Hao had warned him, so he did not dare to unscrupulously mock the other party.

After silently cursing, Zhao Can stood in place and said indifferently: "The footprints are no longer there, but they might not have been covered by snow."

Lin Ying and Lin Hao both stopped and looked at Zhao Can in confusion.

"Zi Chen is very smart, he knows that we can make use of this snow, and that there are no more footprints here. We chased him all the way down, and naturally we thought that he would walk forward if there were footsteps that were covered with snow. If you think so, you really won't find him. "

"Why, the footprints clearly disappeared from this direction, is Zi Chen not in front?"

"Zi Chen and I have known each other for a long time. That trick of his is not bad in front of others, but he is not good enough for me." Zhao Can sneered, "Travelling for a day and a night, without food to eat, after sprinting for a few dozen kilometers, he already ran out of energy, so he deliberately made this false impression. If I'm not mistaken, Zi Chen is definitely here right now."

Zhao Can turned around and pointed to a dark cave several tens of meters away that was still covered with snow.

"Here?"

Both of them were surprised and bewildered. Then, they turned around and walked towards the cave.

Zhao Can slowly walked forward as he seemed to be extremely confident in his judgement.

"Is he really here?" The two of them still could not believe it.

"Hmph, you can see whether or not he's here. Based on my understanding of him, there's a ninety percent chance that he's here." With a cold snort, Zhao Can spoke confidently: "Zi Chen, come out, you have nowhere to go."

Ten kilometers away, Zi Chen gasped for breath, and leaned onto a mountain wall to rest.

"Zhao Can is paranoid, he would definitely think that I am in that cave, but I cannot trick him for too long, at most, they will catch up to me in just a few days, I have to hurry up and refine the Chinese sage root."

Zi Chen gasped for breath, he grabbed two more snow balls from the side and stuffed them into his mouth.

The current him could be said to be extremely hungry. His stomach was filled with snow and water.

By the time dawn arrived, Zi Chen had already adjusted his mood and took out the Chinese sage root s from his bosom.

A five hundred year old Chinese sage root, if used to refine medicine, would naturally be able to refine quite a few zhenqi Pills.

But right now, Zi Chen had no other choice other than to swallow them alive.

"Whether or not I can repair the dantian or not, I have to try. Even if I cannot, the increase in my strength is not bad.

Zi Chen made up his mind.

The Chinese sage root was as big as a baby's arm, and was immediately put into Zi Chen's mouth. Following a creaking sound, the Chinese sage root was bitten off, and a sweet liquid that was as cool as ice water flowed out of Zi Chen's throat, into his stomach.

The outside of the Chinese sage root was old leather, but inside, it was sweet and juicy.

When the Chinese sage root's liquid entered his stomach, an extremely pure Spiritual Energy appeared in his stomach, and rushed towards his limbs and bones.

"The skin of a Chinese sage root is also a good thing. At the very least, you should be able to control your hunger."

After drinking the Chinese sage root's juice, Zi Chen then placed the shriveled up Chinese sage root into his mouth and chewed it with all his might. Along with a creaking sound, a Chinese sage root was crushed into pieces and was swallowed.

The energy in his stomach started to churn, Zi Chen closed his eyes and sat cross legged, after adjusting his breathing, the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art started to circulate.

This was a Cultivation Methods which mainly focused on refining the body. All of the energy must pass through the heart after a full cycle.

This was also a meridian that Zi Chen had never opened before, but following the circulation of the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art, when this wave of energy reached his heart, it actually went through it smoothly.

Other than that, Zi Chen realised that the energy did not go through the heart, but had automatically absorbed it.

"What's going on?"

A five hundred year old Chinese sage root's energy was extremely terrifying. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in danger and there was no other way, Zi Chen would definitely not have swallowed the Chinese sage root so recklessly.

But now, the Chinese sage root's energy was gone without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea, once it entered the heart. Not even a single ripple appeared.

It was as if a strong wave of energy had entered a bottomless pit.

Let alone a full cycle, the Chinese sage root's energy had already disappeared before it could even circulate half a cycle.

"Where is the Chinese sage root's energy?"

Zi Chen's expression was strange and suspicious, but in the next moment, Zi Chen's heart suddenly jumped, after that, a pure silver energy suddenly appeared in his heart, rushing towards all his limbs and bones, rushing towards all over his body.

At the same time, an even purer energy flowed through Zi Chen's meridians and flowed into Zi Chen's dantian.

This energy was extremely pure and emitted a silver glow. It looked extremely similar to a lightning energy but this energy was simply too vast, far surpassing the energy that a Chinese sage root should have.

After the energy had flowed into the dantian, it immediately surged towards its surroundings. At the same time, Zi Chen shattered the dantian that was riddled with holes.

The dantian was repairing.

Under Zi Chen's dumbstruck gaze, a miracle was happening right now …
