All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

Li Yi knew he had to leave this place quickly; the strong smell of blood here would attract countless predators.

It would be truly laughable if I didn't die at the hands of these people, but instead died at the hands of other savage beasts.

His mind raced as a pill appeared before his eyes. This pill was the same kind of stimulant he had taken at the beginning.

If two such pills are taken consecutively in a short period of time, the consequences will be extremely terrible, and the suffering will be doubled.

The problem is that he can't worry about all that. If he doesn't take this pill now, he won't even have the strength or the will to escape.

He struggled to turn over and lunged at the pill, having just used up almost all his strength.

He could feel the muscles in his left arm piercing through his own bone, while his right arm was in better condition and he could still make some movements.

As he slowly swallowed the pill, he immediately felt a surge of energy in his mind, as if countless things were rushing up.

If a person is like an oil lamp, then he is now nearing the point where the oil is almost gone.

This pill also intensifies the flames, allowing the body to burn one last time.

Li Yi struggled to move his arm, and after swallowing the medicine, he felt much better.

But he knew all of this was fake, and he didn't even know how long he could hold on.

He struggled to his feet, using his still relatively intact thigh and one relatively intact arm.

He walked over to the boy's side. Having finally managed to kill that other guy, he wanted to see what good stuff he had on him.

After searching the other person's entire body, they found two tattered ancient sheepskin scrolls. Without bothering to examine them closely, they tossed them into their storage space.

There is also a bottle of pills, the purpose of which is currently unknown.

He did not attempt to take it rashly, and struggled to escape into the distance with his last bit of strength.

If they don't leave soon, the monsters attracted by the smell of blood might devour them.

At this moment, in a palace thousands of miles away from this mountain forest, a cold-faced man surveyed the countless life lamps before him.

When disciples leave a sect, they often entrust part of their spirit to it.

If a disciple dies in a crisis outside, the life lamp here will go out.

"Has the life lamp gone out?" the man muttered to himself.

"Someone, notify the elder on duty in the 27th Tianyi area."

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome boy of about twelve or thirteen years old walked out from the side.

"Tell him to send someone to take over the disciple's duties as soon as possible," the man said. The young disciple nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

No one wanted to avenge the dead disciple, because it wasn't worth it.

If someone dies, so be it. As long as there are no major mistakes in the sect's affairs, someone can quickly take their place.

………………

………………

Li Yi struggled to run away into the distance, not knowing how far he had to go to be safe, but he knew he couldn't stay where he was.

Escape, escape as far as possible, the farther the better.

These people came from the Feathered Dynasty, and they killed so many people from the Feathered Dynasty.

It's highly likely that someone will come to investigate this matter, and then I will be in a new dangerous situation.

Flames soared into the sky behind him, and as he was about to escape, he set a huge fire on the ground, which then spread throughout the entire forest.

Fire will take away many things, burning everything to ashes.

Even if the people from the Feathered Dynasty came, it wouldn't be so easy for them to investigate the situation there.

Setting a fire should be able to buy some time.

Li Yi ran forward, going further and further away. As he lost too much blood, he could feel his consciousness beginning to blur.

Only one thought remained in my mind: to keep running away.

He ran for an unknown amount of time before he lost his footing and began to tumble uncontrollably down the cliff.

Li Yi was actually relieved by this.

Rolling down from here will save me some energy and allow me to escape further.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally rolled down to the foot of the mountain and his body slowly came to a stop.

23qb.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Ruthless Man of the Future

Li Yi lay on the ground, not daring to exert too much force with each breath.

I knew in my heart that my physical condition was still extremely poor, and that I shouldn't do anything next.

Even so, he himself was not sure if he would have a chance to wake up again after falling asleep.

Sleeping will cause a drop in body temperature. Under normal circumstances, this is not a big deal, as a martial artist's physical condition will not cause any problems.

But now that I'm in the mountains and my physical condition is very poor, I can only swallow some food and some medicine for now.

Try your best to ensure that even if you fall asleep, you still have a chance to wake up.

"Crackling..." A sound came from not far away, and it was getting closer and closer.

Li Yi cursed inwardly, "Am I really that unlucky? Is there really no way out? After all this scheming, I'm still going to end up in the mouth of wild beasts."

Or is it that the Feathered Divine Dynasty really acted that quickly?

A sense of despair rose in his heart, and a nuclear bomb the size of a basketball appeared in his palm.

This nuclear bomb is safe as long as it doesn't detonate. Once it does detonate, most living beings within a 500-meter radius will die.

He himself is certain to die, and neither the person or beast that kills him will survive.

A moment later, a disheveled child, covered in black, dressed in tattered burlap clothes, appeared.

Upon seeing that it was a child, Li Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not put away the nuclear bomb.

Instead, he forced himself to observe the child, who was hiding behind a rock, peeking out from time to time and staring at him with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

The two, one big and one small, remained locked in this standoff until Li Yi could no longer hold on and drifted off to sleep.

………………

"Ah... Hiss..." He didn't know when he woke up, but the intense pain all over his body made him scream in agony the moment he woke up.

Then, recalling her current situation, she didn't dare to continue screaming. She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but gasp for breath.

Almost no bones in his body were intact, and even his internal organs were damaged beyond recognition.

His condition wasn't much better in other areas either. More importantly, after using banned drugs twice in a row, he now has an extremely heightened sense of his nerves.

Pain came like waves, one after another.

He wished he could just faint right now, at least he wouldn't be in so much pain when he was unconscious.

The pain surged like a tide. At first, Li Yi occasionally let out a few hisses, but in the end, he was able to grit his teeth and endure it.

The child was startled by Li Yi's reaction and ran away to hide under an ancient tree.

Li Yi didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to the other party, although he was very curious about where this child came from.

But at this moment, he was enduring boundless pain every second. After using it twice in a row, the effect of the banned drug was greater than he had imagined.

The effects of the drug were still lingering, and even with his strength as a dancer, his physical condition was starting to give out.

During this process, Li Yi fainted several times due to excessive pain, only to be awakened by the pain again after fainting, and this cycle repeated itself.

Until dusk, as night approached.

He felt much better just now. Although he was still in a lot of pain, the effects of the medication were gradually wearing off and the pain had lessened considerably.

The child walked over at that moment, and Li Yi turned his head with difficulty to look at the other person.

He was filthy, with disheveled hair that lacked luster and was as dry as weeds. He was also very thin, almost skin and bones.

Fear was in her eyes as she slowly reached out her hand, holding a red fruit in her dark palm.

"Here you go." She tentatively extended her hand, still feeling a little reluctant.

These red berries were the only food she could find in this mountain forest, given her young age and frail health.

Li Yi blinked slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak and just smiled.

He slightly opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit; it was very sour and astringent, and didn't taste good.

But for him, who was on his deathbed, it was the most delicious food in the world.

As the sun sets in the evening, the western sun begins to sink.

A child he didn't know showed kindness to Li Yi, and he chose to accept it.

Li Yi chewed the food in his mouth with difficulty. His condition was extremely poor, and he was only alive because he was lucky.

However, as long as he is not dead, with the martial artist's strong physique, his physical condition will recover quickly with proper recuperation.

Li Yi's mind stirred, and he tossed out a silver-white bag.

The bag contains high-energy compressed food, which is exactly what I need right now.

"You can eat it," he said softly, tossing it to the other person.

She carefully picked it up, examining the silver-white bag with great curiosity. She put her nose close to it and sniffed it carefully, but couldn't smell anything.

She opened her mouth and tried to tear open the packaging, but it was no use; she couldn't open it at all.

"Give it to me." Li Yi said in a low voice, and as he spoke, a dagger appeared in his hand.

The moment he saw the dagger, he almost instinctively stepped back, his small body trembling as if he were terrified.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," Li Yi comforted him in a low voice.

She seemed a little more at ease, but was still very scared, and placed the packaging bag beside her with extreme caution.

Seeing him like this, Li Yi sighed helplessly. What could a child have gone through to be so terrified when faced with weapons?
