Battle Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 9: The 'Savior.' A fool in love.

Zorai seemed to have seen a ghost, his already pale face became as white as paper, the blood totally gone. He seemed to be brought back into the battle between him and that mutated Bunny and instinctively went into a fighting stance.

As if the brain subconsciously send information of him being under threat to his body, the qi in his body tried moving outside to coat his weak point in defense, but a pain in his dantian pushed him to his knees and made him cough up blood.

The bunny seemed to fear Zorai instinctively as well and began quivering. The smell Zorai released to the bunny was of a pack leader of its species, and being an ordinary humming bunny, how could it not fear the blood of a stronger animal? (Killing the Mutated Bunny, Zorai didn't wash up and his body is covered in blood of the Bunny.)

The humming bunny Zorai fought was actually a pack leader, but because it was a mutant, it was cast away and had to make a pack of its own—but before it could, it found Zorai.

Seeing her bunny frightened out of its mind, the gorgeous girl was slightly furious at Zorai. But seeing him cough up blood with that ugly face was disgusting to her, so she directed some qi into her finger tip and shoot it into Zorai's body to help calm the pain.

As soon as the pain subsided, Zorai stood up and ran to the doctor, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor! I think my dantian is damaged—please, you must help me!"

"Hmph!" The gorgeous girl found the ugly man's plight amusing. "You fool! You just have some damage from some pill poison."

The girl used her qi on Zorai and was able to see his problem, but she couldn't stop laughing. This guy seemed to have lost his life the way he was talking. She just found his foolish ways amusing.

"Aren't you some sect disciple from the capital here for training? Shouldn't you have some understanding of pill poison or at least some master to look over you?" The girl asked Zorai, barely able to stop herself from laughing at the idiot.

"Are you serious? My dantian isn't ruined, right? You are absolutely sure?" Zorai asked as he stepped closer and held onto the girl's arms.

The girl had an unpleasant expression from being touched by the boy, but she quickly calm herself, it will be a damage to her image if she slap such ugly boy to dead.

"Yes!" The girl repeated as she threw Zorai off, but Zorai didn't even mind as he was actually elated unknown that the handsome young man was extremely close to killing him for touching the girl.

"So? Which sect are you from, and why don't you know the most basic things?" The girl asked calmly as she observed him, hiding her disgust from him. Even though she didn't hate him or even know him but the disfigured look of his face, pale skin that stood out of place, dirty body covered in blood and faint aura that felt evil like that of the demonic path made her impression of him decreased at a fast pace the more he talks and tries getting closer to her.

"Sect?" Zorai, now out of despair and panic, actually was able to respond to the girl.

"Are you that dumb! With your achievements in the understanding a Dao at such a young age something most take 100 years to understand, and cultivation, you must be some pampered disciple of some sect, so which one?" The girl asked calmly as she thought this boy's sect must be some third-rate one if he doesn't even know about pill poison.

"Respected sister, I currently do not attend a sect." Zorai acted extremely politely, as in his eyes, she had saved him.

The girl and the man were dumbfounded.

"Impossible! If you're not from any sect then I am not a living being!" Klaus couldn't help but say out loud causing the girl to give him a stern look which made him shut his mouth. Despite both of them looking to be in similar age bracket, Klaus seems to be giving her respect showing either she has higher cultivation levels or from a wealthier family than him.

He was obviously a disciple pampered and trained from birth in cultivation—otherwise, how could he already be so experienced in the Dao of Death?

(Author's Note: They thought it is the Dao of dead not knowing it's the Dao of Extinction aura covering him. Both Dao have similar aura.)

"Anyway, sister. Thank you for informing me of my problem. Judging from your tone and description of the problem, it seems to be a relatively simple and easygoing issue, right? But could you describe the problem and the method of curing it to me?" Zorai asked politely, his sweet, serene voice not matching his ugly face at all.

"Pill poison is a side effect, I suppose, of pills. A lot of the ingredients have impurities, and during the refining process, the impurities are compressed and enhanced. But with suitable qi, you are able to counterattack the impure qi—otherwise called pill poison."

"Your problem is that the poison was able to fester, causing some damage to your dantian, but it was cured later by the qi. Currently, your dantian is damaged, and the only way to cure it is to let it recuperate naturally."

"Judging from your damage, I would say about a year would be needed to be completely healed. But during this time, if qi is used, the damaged parts of your dantian won't be able to handle the pressure, and you will die."

The girl explained almost fearfully, as she cultivated in the Tao of Fire, which was weaker than Death. When Zorai talked, it was almost as if a big beast was face to face with her.

Before, she hadn't noticed Zorai's advancements in Death, as he hadn't directed any speech or attention to her. But now, she felt as if her breath was lost.

"Thank you, sister, for your helpful guidance. This one is called Zorai and shall be indebted to you." Zorai said as he left the clinic feeling like he has learned something new. At the same time, he subconsciously felt the girl looked pleasing to the eye as since when his mother died, no one has had a long conversation with him like the girl making him feel happy as he even mutters, "maybe I should find a time when I'm strong to come marry her? Forget it, I'm scared she will die like mom if she comes close to me."

....

Dao has different meaning. Cultivating Dao doesn't means one has mastered it or grab it. Only those close to demigods levels can firmly grasp the real Dao they cultivates meanwhile for people like Zorai and the green hair girl, they're still cultivating it.
