Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

"How is your injury?"

Looking at the message, Chen Xing could imagine Lu Ya's angry and worried expression.

Yet, there was a hint of proud awkwardness in his expression.

He moved his finger in reply:

"She's alright. She was more seriously injured, but she's out of danger. Mission accomplished, base destroyed."

Messages are replied to almost instantly.

Lu Ya: "That's good. You're lucky, kid. You still have a conscience, though, because you brought the girl back."

"You better take good care of yourself! Don't you dare sneak off to take on any more missions!"

Chen Xing looked at the message, which was full of Lu Ya-style concern.

The corners of his mouth curved upwards almost imperceptibly.

He replied with a single word: "Okay."

He put away his phone, turned around, and looked back at the hospital bed.

The morning light shone through the gap in the curtains and fell directly on Gu Xiaoyun's face.

Soft light danced on her long eyelashes.

A warm golden halo shone on her pale yet delicate cheeks.

Chen Xing stood there and watched her quietly for a while.

His gaze swept over her tightly closed eyes, her pert nose, and her pale lips.

Finally, it rested on the thick white bandage on her chest.

There was once a deep wound there that nearly cost her her life.

He walked over silently, his movements extremely gentle, and gently removed the thin blanket that Gu Xiaoyun had unconsciously brushed against his waist.

I pulled the blanket up a bit, carefully covering her shoulders and tucking the corners in.

After doing all this, he sat down again on the chair by the bed.

Close your eyes and begin practicing the Thunder Breathing Technique to regulate your breathing and recover.

The ward fell silent again.

The sunlight grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire room with a warm and bright glow.

Gu Xiaoyun's fingers twitched extremely slightly under the blanket.

But she kept her eyes closed, as if she were still asleep, only her pale cheeks were visible.

A very faint, almost invisible pink hue quietly rose into the air.

The system panel hovered silently deep within Chen Xing's consciousness.

He spared a moment of attention and glanced at it.

[Current Kill Value]: Original 12000 + 20000 (killing transformed monsters + rewards for exceeding the level) = 32000 points.

[Divine Position Integration Degree]: 20% → 25%.

We're one step closer to unlocking the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

Chen Xing silently calculated in his mind.

With the freshman competition approaching, those enemies lurking in the shadows will not give up easily.

This enormous amount of kill points must be used wisely.

He sank back into a state of meditation, his purple-gold qi and blood slowly circulating within his body.

……

Three hours of breathing exercises passed quietly in the tranquility of the ward.

Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes, the purple-gold light deep in his pupils gradually receding.

The body's vital energy and blood were originally like a dried-up riverbed.

It has now become full and surging again, with purple-gold energy flowing like a great river.

The energy flowed smoothly through the broadened and strengthened meridians, replenishing the deficiencies and damage caused by the previous unleashing of the Undying True Body and the Nine Thunderous Explosions.

Most of it has been repaired. The regenerative power brought by the SS-rank Undying Battle Saint Body is simply monstrous.

He turned his head to the side, his gaze naturally falling on the hospital bed.

Then, his movements paused slightly.

Gu Xiaoyun has woken up.

She didn't lie down, but sat on the edge of the bed.

A pair of fair, slender, and perfectly shaped legs emerged from the wide trousers of the hospital gown.

Hanging beside the bed, her jade-like feet were delicate.

With a small distance between his toes and the ground, he was unconsciously and gently swaying back and forth.

She seemed to have just woken up, her long, light pink hair draped messily over her shoulders.

Her face was still pale from blood loss, but her pale silver eyes...

She had regained her composure and was staring at him intently.

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips.

The morning light streamed in through the window and fell directly on her.

It added a soft golden edge to her clothes, making her oversized hospital gown seem to have a hazy beauty.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

There was no awkwardness, no thank yous, and no excitement of surviving a disaster as I had expected.

Chen Xing looked at her, his eyes calm.

Gu Xiaoyun looked at him, her smile deepening.

Neither of them spoke first.

The ward was quiet, with only the faint sounds of the city awakening coming from outside the window.

A few seconds later, Chen Xing stood up swiftly.

He put the Sky-Splitting Staff, which had been resting against his leg, into his Void Ring, without looking at Gu Xiaoyun.

He turned straight around and walked towards the ward door. His steps were steady, without the slightest hesitation.

Behind him, there was a soft rustling sound.

Gu Xiaoyun also jumped off the bed, barefoot.

I silently stepped onto the cold floor and followed behind him, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

As Chen Xing reached the door, his hand was already on the doorknob, but he suddenly stopped.

He didn't turn around, but just turned his head slightly, as if to confirm something.

Behind him, Gu Xiaoyun also stopped.

She stood in the morning light, tilting her head to look at his aloof profile.

Then, she winked at him.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, revealing a lively quality that seemed somewhat out of place with her usual cool and aloof demeanor.

Chen Xing's gaze lingered on her face for less than half a second before he turned back, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open to leave.

Gu Xiaoyun pursed her lips and quickly followed.

……

Lingnan Demon Hunters Association, Nanling Branch, First Floor Corridor.

Chen Xing found the doctor on duty last night, who was organizing medical records.

I saw Chen Xing and the people following behind him.

The doctor was taken aback by Gu Xiaoyun's pale face but still relatively good spirits.

"We're leaving." Chen Xing said succinctly, his voice returning to its usual calm.

The doctor opened his mouth, his gaze sweeping over the two of them—

A combat uniform covered in blood, though cleaned up, still showed signs of a fierce battle.

A person wearing a loose hospital gown, with the outline of bandages faintly visible through their chest, and barefoot.

He wanted to say that the injured needed to rest and be observed, and that young people shouldn't joke around with their health.

But looking into Chen Xing's calm yet unquestionable eyes, and Gu Xiaoyun's weak yet determined expression, one could see the truth in his eyes.

The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back, and he just sighed.

He earnestly advised, "Take care of yourself, change your dressings on time. Don't... risk your life again. You only have one life."

Chen Xing nodded in response.

Gu Xiaoyun gave the doctor a polite smile: "Thank you, doctor. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Go on, go on," the doctor waved his hand.

Gu Xiaoyun turned and went to the restroom next door.

Chen Xing leaned against the cold wall of the corridor, his hands in his pockets.

I calmly watched the street outside the window gradually come to life, and waited quietly.

About five minutes later, I heard light footsteps behind me.

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Xing instinctively turned his head to look.

Then, his gaze froze for a moment.

Gu Xiaoyun came out of the restroom.

She had already changed out of her oversized hospital gown.

She wore a light pink, simple short-sleeved cotton T-shirt.

The soft fabric was stretched taut by her proud, full breasts, and the neckline wasn't low.

But a section of her delicate, fair collarbone and a small patch of smooth skin were still visible.

She wore light gray yoga pants that perfectly hugged her long, slender legs.

On his feet were a pair of clean white sneakers.

She seemed to have just washed her face; her long, light pink hair was still slightly damp.

She casually brushed it behind her head, revealing her delicate yet spirited face.

Without the hospital gown to conceal her figure, this casual outfit revealed her ridiculously good physique.

It was presented vividly and was incredibly impactful.

Gu Xiaoyun seemed to have noticed Chen Xing's gaze as well.

She pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly and subconsciously raised her hand.

He quickly draped the beige trench coat over his arm and pulled the collar tight.

She tried to cover up the overly noticeable fullness under her T-shirt and the leg lines outlined by her yoga pants.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a light shadow on her cheeks.

Her voice was very soft, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness: "Look...what are you looking at?"

Chen Xing withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining calm.

It was as if that momentary pause was just an illusion.

He turned around and walked towards the association's gate, leaving behind only two words: "Let's go."

Gu Xiaoyun watched his retreating figure, bit her lower lip, wrapped her trench coat tighter, and quickly followed after him.
