Only My Way

A gentle breeze stirred through the forest, yet it couldn't disperse the dense white mist.

“……”

The man named Wen Changyu, after throwing his long saber, had strained his wound due to the excessive motion, and silently breathed his last as the wound deepened once more.

His blood-soaked corpse could only kneel half-upright on the grass, head drooping.

He didn't even know if his thrown saber had hit its target.

However.

His efforts were not in vain.

He did help Ling Wuyuan block one of Che Xianwei's possible evasive maneuvers.

This allowed the arrows, which were initially expected to hit only once or twice, to strike three times directly.

One arrow hit the right side of his abdomen; a special arrow that damaged his internal organs, causing severe injury.

One arrow hit his left thigh; an ordinary arrow that only injured some flesh and tendons, causing minor injury.

One arrow hit his left calf; a special arrow that pierced through the flesh and struck the leg bone directly, forcefully lodging within it, effectively crippling Che Xianwei's left leg in combination with the other injuries on his thigh.

The dozen or so remaining arrows all missed, scattering and embedding themselves in the ground.

Of course.

Although they failed to hit their target, they did forcefully restrict Che Xianwei's movements.

Forcing him to choose to endure the three arrows.

It couldn't be said that their efforts were completely futile.

Currently.

The only thing that Ling Wuyuan found somewhat frustrating was the long saber that Wen Changyu had thrown earlier.

The other party originally wanted to block Che Xianwei's evasive direction.

There was nothing wrong with that; he did accomplish it.

Successfully allowing Ling Wuyuan to hit at least one more arrow.

But the long saber he threw also fell beside Che Xianwei…

This meant that the other party, who was originally empty-handed, once again possessed a weapon.

And looking at Che Xianwei, who was holding the saber in one hand and staring intently at him as if he wanted to devour him alive, Ling Wuyuan couldn't help but glance with some helplessness at the special arrow that had successfully struck the other party's abdomen.

Whether it was due to his own lack of arm strength or because the other party had used some force-deflecting technique along the way, the special arrow he shot, although forcefully piercing Che Xianwei's abdomen and causing effective penetrating and internal injuries, the external wound did not appear very large, only slightly larger than a quail egg.

This kind of injury, although completely fatal to ordinary people.

Was obviously not enough for Che Xianwei.

By forcefully controlling the muscles near the wound to perform muscle contraction exercises, he quickly completed a simple hemostasis, preventing a large amount of blood from flowing out of his body.

‘Forget it…’

‘Since I can't kill him with one blow, then I'll just exhaust him to death…’

Thinking of this.

Ling Wuyuan took a long, calm breath.

Then he leisurely sat down on a tree branch to rest.

Although he had only shot a dozen or so arrows.

All of those arrows were shot out at the fastest speed and with the greatest force!

So Ling Wuyuan's hands were also slightly numb.

And looking at Ling Wuyuan, who had no intention of hiding and directly sat down on the tree branch to rest, Che Xianwei's forehead immediately bulged with veins!

He understood that just like before, when he had created a sufficiently severe injury and didn't choose to get close to finish Wen Changyu off, but wanted to drag him down with the existing injuries, Ling Wuyuan now similarly wanted to drag him to his death.

At this moment.

Although the injury to his abdomen was not immediately fatal, it was only a matter of time.

Having his internal organs injured, he needed to receive treatment as soon as possible!

Once time dragged on.

Then he would inevitably gradually weaken and even be dragged to his death due to the severity of his injuries.

In addition.

The injuries on his arms were also causing him to lose blood continuously.

The previous simple bandaging only slowed down the rate of his blood loss.

As for the remaining wounds on his legs and body, they were also exerting a negative impact.

Although they wouldn't affect his life in the short term, they would eventually become the last straw that broke the camel's back…

However.

Sadly, even knowing what Ling Wuyuan was planning, Che Xianwei still had no good solution.

Right now, his left leg had been severely injured, and it was a bit difficult to even stand up.

Hoping that he could rush to Ling Wuyuan's side and quickly kill him was completely impossible.

Forced to do so.

Che Xianwei could only try to launch a verbal attack on Ling Wuyuan, trying to anger him and lure him to get close and finish him off.

“You little brat, if I…

But, did Ling Wuyuan care?

He obviously wouldn't care.

Whether it was when he was an orphan in his previous life, or when he was both an orphan and a beggar in this life, he had endured countless verbal attacks.

So, Che Xianwei's verbal attacks seemed really weak to him.

He almost laughed out loud on the spot.

He could even politely smile and suggest:

“Shout louder.”

“Your voice is too soft.”

As soon as these words came out.

Che Xianwei immediately felt a pain in his lungs.

Literally a pain in his lungs!

With his internal organs injured.

Even simply speaking would cause him severe pain.

Expecting him to shout louder was really making things difficult for him.

However, Ling Wuyuan's words really made him annoyed.

It was the feeling of not being taken seriously at all.

It would be fine if he encountered a true expert.

But Ling Wuyuan was just a little brat who took the opportunity to sneak attack him.

He immediately cursed angrily:

“Don't let me catch you, or I'll definitely make you suffer, I'll skin you alive…”

As he cursed and ranted.

As his emotions became more agitated, scarlet blood also overflowed from his mouth.

Looking at all of this.

Ling Wuyuan immediately showed a bright smile.

“Curse!”

“Keep cursing!”

“I'll just sit here and listen!”

Soon after.

Facing the strange feeling of the more he cursed, the more it hurt, hurting himself instead of others, Che Xianwei finally couldn't hold on any longer, and could no longer curse, and could only choose to sit down silently, anxiously thinking about how to get rid of the current situation…

And Ling Wuyuan, seeing this situation, put away his smile, his expression returning to its usual calm, just sitting quietly on the tree branch, staring intently at the other party a hundred meters away.

He didn't need to know what the other party wanted to do, and didn't need to know what the other party was planning.

He only needed to know one thing.

The advantage was on his side!

He just needed to slowly wear the other party down!

Just like that.

Ling Wuyuan also stopped talking.

Just silently sitting on the tree branch, quietly watching the wounds on Che Xianwei's body slowly but steadily continuing to bleed.

He understood that the continued loss of blood in his body would not only make Che Xianwei's injuries more serious, but would also gradually lead to phenomena such as weakness, dizziness, vertigo, and fainting…

At this moment, in his eyes.

Although Che Xianwei's strength was far greater than his own, he had already become a caged beast.

There was no chance of a comeback.
