One Instant Fist, One Instant Limit Break!

Array energy?

Just by looking at those snake eyes, he gained a massive amount of array energy!

Chen Yan's mouth opened. He could feel the Saint Breaking Tree's craving for this yellow light, as if it were nourishment countless times more precious than Qi and Blood spiritual medicine.

The intoxication lasted only a moment.

The next second, Chen Yan's mind held only one word.

A powerful surge of strength flowed from his legs. The mud beneath Chen Yan's feet exploded instantly, and he shot out like an arrow.

All the strength in his body seemed to erupt at this moment. The fatigue from his morning run up the mountain vanished completely. Chen Yan's legs felt numb, as if they had lost all sensation, running along the mountain path like a machine.

He even leaped between the tree trunks at close range, using his hands and arms to change his body's direction.

Rustle!

Behind him, a friction sound could be heard.

Chen Yan didn't dare to look back. He just ran, taking a handful of stones from his backpack and putting them in his pocket.

Boom boom boom~

Impact sounds erupted from his right rear, getting closer and closer.

Hiss...

The green snake was now in a relatively still position with Chen Yan. Its pair of scarlet snake eyes revealed a human-like greed.

The next moment, it lunged towards Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly. He raised his arm, and surges of strength flowed from his waist into his arm.

A pebble was instantly thrown. In the scarlet snake eyes, the greed in them froze for a moment. Then, the sound of the pebble hitting the snake's head echoed.

With a bang, the giant snake's front half suddenly stopped. Its long tail slammed into a tree trunk.

It was clearly stunned by the stone.

A hit! Chen Yan felt a flicker of joy, and the next moment, his body tilted and slammed into a tree trunk.

The intense impact made him feel like his blood was flowing backward. A sharp pain shot through his chest.

In his consciousness, various colors mixed.

Orange, yellow, and green.

The orange was produced by Chen Yan's constant running. The yellow was the array energy caused by Chen Yan staring directly into the green snake's eyes, but he couldn't absorb it.

As for the green...

Like the yellow, it couldn't be absorbed.

[Hint: Physique energy detected. The Saint Breaking Tree cannot absorb it. The Saint Breaking Tree needs to be upgraded to Level 3.]

He hit a tree and generated physique energy?

Getting hit can strengthen the body?

Chen Yan shook his head. He captured the changes in both the real and consciousness worlds, and was a bit bewildered at the moment.

He didn't have time to think about it. The next moment, he started running again.

The hissing of the green snake behind him clearly carried a beast-like killing intent, extremely dangerous.

Chen Yan threw another pebble. This one hit the green snake's jaw squarely.

Time slowly passed.

"Two people are dead. I'm late. The attacker should have been a Qingju Snake, but that snake is gone now."

At the spot where Li Xuan and his son were killed by the giant snake, a tall man in a black uniform frowned as he surveyed the bloody scene, picturing what had happened.

"We can't stop them. These people know they'll encounter danger, but they just can't be stopped."

The man named Luo Puxin sighed into his walkie-talkie.

"You guys come over and handle this. I was just here to rest for a day, and I've already encountered so many problems in half a day."

Luo Puxin grumbled and then stopped paying attention.

Qingshan was the treasure of the entire Luoyang County. How many people wanted to get rich and leave this place by relying on Qingshan?

Many people lived painful and difficult lives. It was precisely the hope in their hearts that was the most deadly poison.

Perhaps recalling his childhood, Luo Puxin slowly walked down the mountain. His gaze suddenly narrowed, and he scanned his surroundings.

Looking at the freshly turned soil on the ground and the marks left on the tree trunks from impacts.

"There's still one more person!?"

Luo Puxin narrowed his eyes. Based on the various phenomena left on the mountain, he could guess what had happened.

The Qingju Snake lived deep within Qingshan, only crawling down the mountain when it was hunting prey.

Following the trail left by the Qingju Snake crashing into tree trunks and overturning soil, Luo Puxin's speed increased, leaving a trail of dark shadows in the dense forest.

In his mind, he could already see the scene that was about to unfold.

It would be nothing more than a pool of blood.

The Qingju Snake was very fast; ordinary people couldn't escape its grasp.

Who was an ordinary person?

Basically, everyone in Green Mountain Town.

But Luo Puxin's expression changed.

No wonder he hadn't noticed when he came up the mountain; the person wasn't running directly down.

Instead, they were winding and circling on the path down.

This was a very clever method because the Qingju Snake was fastest going downhill with its body close to the ground.

But that was the problem – ordinary people wouldn't run like that. Whether they could even think of such a method was another question, but more importantly, running this way would be exhausting. The most likely outcome was that they would run out of strength and be swallowed whole by the Qingju Snake.

"A martial artist?"

Luo Puxin stared at the tracks on the ground, lost in thought.

"Maybe a martial artist who just awakened and has no combat experience."

Luo Puxin could only guess, but when he saw something, his brow furrowed slightly.

About five meters away, on a tree trunk, a patch of bark was broken, revealing the damaged white cambium layer.

Following the trajectory, Luo Puxin saw a stone embedded in the soil.

This strength... it doesn't feel like someone who just awakened their Qi and Blood.

He himself couldn't have generated this much force when he first awakened his Qi and Blood.

A strange feeling surfaced in Luo Puxin's heart; he could understand the fugitive's mindset.

To choose an escape route that would allow them to survive longer in such a short time, and even to mount some kind of counterattack.

This was interesting.

Most people couldn't do this while fleeing for their lives.

Luo Puxin leaped between tree trunks, finally spotting a trail of blood on the soil, and his heart skipped a beat.

They had injured the Qingju Snake.

This person was probably an old hand at navigating the mountain.

But that didn't make sense either. If they had awakened their Qi and Blood, they were a martial artist and could have teamed up with other martial artists to enter Green Mountain.

Contradictions swirled in his mind, and Luo Puxin sped up.

Until the hissing of the green snake, the sound of impact, and the young man's low shouts intertwined, and the scene before him obscured all his guesses.

It was a young man in a white t-shirt, constantly running through the mountain forest, weaving between the scattered trees on the uneven terrain, and throwing stones in his hand at a giant green snake about ten meters away.

Soil flew, branches snapped.

Luo Puxin stood atop a thirty-meter-tall spruce tree, his feet balanced on branches as thick as his finger, as light as a bird, watching the scene below with his arms crossed.

He didn't immediately go to rescue the young man.

The moment he saw the young man's face, Luo Puxin felt a sense of scrutiny.

But soon, a question arose in his mind.

Why... wasn't this young man using his Qi and Blood?

Stones struck the green snake's body, splashing blood. Chen Yan's speed was not slow as he stepped on a tree trunk and lunged to the left.

BOOM!

A thick snake tail slammed into the spot where Chen Yan had been standing, creating a deep crater.

Danger, danger, danger!

Chen Yan panted, his body covered in dirt. Sweat and mud mixed together, making him look like a mud man from a distance.

[Saint Breaking Realm: Level 2 (1/15)]
[Saint Breaking Fruit:
Strength: (99/100)
Blood: (9/100)
Skill: (27/100)]

Under the threat of life and death, Chen Yan's Strength Saint Breaking Fruit was growing rapidly, on the verge of ripening.

Just a little more, only a little bit left.

Chen Yan held a sliver of hope in his heart.

The reason I dared to expend my Strength to maneuver around this green snake wasn't just to live a little longer before being devoured by it.

He was tired, his muscles torn in many places from the intense running and exertion.

But only a sliver of the [Strength] Saint Breaking Fruit remained. Once consumed, all his negative status effects would be cleared.

Not only that, his Strength would surge, increasing his chances of escape.

"This child, hasn't awakened yet?"

Above the treetops, Luo Puxin's eyes widened in astonishment.

This was innate divine Strength, absolutely top-tier talent, perfectly suited for the path of body refinement.

Even Luo Puxin couldn't help but feel a flicker of admiration for talent at this moment.

But...

"He's running out of Strength."

Above the treetops, Luo Puxin watched the youth below dodging the giant snake's attacks, sighing inwardly.

This youth must be a local prodigy. If it weren't for him today, he would have surely died by the Qingju Snake's fangs.

He knew the allure of Green Mountain for locals, but coming here so young, even with his intelligence and high talent, was too reckless.

Then, in the next moment.

Luo Puxin's gaze narrowed slightly.

He saw the youth in the white T-shirt below suddenly freeze, as if instantly petrified.

The Qingju Snake hissed, its massive tail suddenly whipping towards Chen Yan.

Above the treetops, Luo Puxin let out a soft sigh, crouched slightly, and was about to intervene.

"Huh?"

With a soft exclamation, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly widened. The muscles on his arm bulged as if a torrent of surging power flowed through them. He swung the fire poker in his hand fiercely.

The iron rod struck the giant green snake's tail. The former bent, while the latter simultaneously caved in with a loud crash. Friction between the rod and scales even sparked and flew.

The snake's tail, as thick as two people embracing, was abruptly smashed away, hitting a large tree beside them. With a 'crack', the tree was broken in half.

The Qingju Snake let out a hiss filled with fierce rage, glaring menacingly at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan frowned. The fire poker in his hand was already bent at a ninety-degree angle, clearly unusable now.

He had just consumed a [Strength] Saint Breaking Fruit. Even with the surge in power, his strike hadn't broken the green snake's physical body.

Discarding the fire poker, Chen Yan took a deep breath, his eyes shining with a brilliant light.

Without any hesitation, he pushed off with his legs and charged towards the green snake, his right fist clenched.

His blood flow changed in sync with his breathing.

As if practicing a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, he threw a punch.

Punch!

A streak of brilliant red light appeared from Chen Yan's fist, dazzling and brilliant.

In an instant, it struck the green snake.

In an instant, amidst the rippling red light, a small, blurry girl's figure appeared opposite Chen Yan, shouting as she threw a punch, her fist moving with Chen Yan's.

In an instant, Luo Puxin's mouth fell open, his mind thunderous.
