The Run

Zhang Ruochen consumed a drop of the Dragon Emperor Blood the moment he took it out and started refining it. He was counting on the massive energy it contained being able to help him recover the Holy Qi he depleted.

It felt like there was a burning ball of energy in his body, fueling his worn muscles and meridian points.

"Master Zhang, how long do you need to recover?" asked the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit.

"Even with the Dragon Emperor Blood, I need six hours, at the very least."

It was too risky for him to have activated the Destruction of the Thousand-pattern. After all, he had only achieved level one of the half-saint's.

Zhang Ruochen couldn't stop staring at the fighting soldiers. Many fell to the ground and never got back up. There was too much bloodshed.

Suddenly, a thought hit him and his tone changed. "Perhaps there is another way to quicken my recovery," he said while gently touching the Spatial Ring which was on his finger.
