Chapter 80 – Going crazy without regrets
“I want to go out!! I want to go…… I want to go……” Shouted Su Ming with the fiercest of emotions in his sixteen years of life, as tears fell from his eyes.
But this seal was unaffected as before, even as Su Ming’s fists tore and bled and his voice grew hoa.r.s.e, not a single sound could be felt or heard outside. Eventually his body trembled as he coughed out fresh blood, collapsing by the door.
On the door were innumerable fist sized blood stains……
“I want to go out……. I want to go…… Grandpa, I want to go back to the tribe, even if I have to die, I’ll rather die in the tribe, I tried so hard to constantly grow stronger, the only reason for me to grow stronger is to protect my tribe, I want to fight for my tribe…… Grandpa, why, WHY!!!” Su Ming cried, the pain in his heart made him feel like just dying instead.
But as he thought of the dangers the tribe was facing, Grandpa’s current weakened condition, and the faces of each and everyone of his fellow tribesman, Su Ming let out one more frenzied roar.
“Even if I die, I will go back!!” Su Ming’s eyes revealed a certain madness, his breathing a mess as he took a few steps backwards.
“If my current cultivation is not enough to break Grandpa’s seal, then all I can do is to get stronger right now!” Su Ming’s went mad like anyone would in his situation.
His face ashen, his eyes red with numerous veins, his expression filled with madness as a single thought filled his mind, regardless of what happens, he was going to use everything he had to break out of this place.
He no longer worried about any negative impacts on his body, what he cared most right now was Grandpa, his tribe, even if he were to die, he would die fighting for the tribe.
“I want to become stronger, I want to break out of this place!!” Su Ming roared, taking a few steps into the house, glaring at the large number of Sieved Cloud Leaves he bought for making pills and the various other herbs he bought.
These herbs were prepared for refining pills, and Su Ming knew that even as a Man-Cultivator, directly eating a large amount of these plants would cause a large strain on the body, especially for a cultivator whose growth should be gradual.
But the current Su Ming could not care less, if he no longer cared about his life, he no certainly would not care about the lasting injuries however severe they may be Su Ming had no regrets!!
He had no regrets!!
With his red eyes, Su Ming sat cross-legged on the floor, grabbing stalk after stalk of Sieved Cloud Leaf. He did not have time to slowly refine them into pills as the danger the tribe faced and Grandpa’s injuries drove him into a frenzy.
Handful by handful, he stuffed the Sieved Cloud Leaves into his mouth as he fiercely chewed, the disgustingly bitter sap slowly seeping out, but the bitterness in his heart far outcla.s.sed that in his mouth.
After chewing and swallowing, Su Ming continued adding more handfuls of the herb into his mouth with a frenzied fervor. Continuously swallowing the plant’s juices as his body trembled, a blazing heat erupted from within, causing him to profusely sweat as all his blood veins surfaced.
The hundred and sixty blood veins of his glowed red, bathing the entire room in its light, the cross legged Su Ming let out a terrifying aura of determination and madness.
Ten leaves, thirty leaves, fifty leaves…… quickly all hundred leaves in the bad had been swallowed by Su Ming. The pain coming from his abdomen, he knew that this was from overdosing on Sieved Cloud Leaves, and if he were to continue, this pain would just continue spreading throughout his body.
But at the same time, he could feel the flame in his body constantly strengthening, the number of blood veins on his body on the verge of expanding, while experiencing this, Su Ming did not hesitate to take over another bag of Sieved Cloud Leaves.
Time slowly trickled away, but an hour had quickly pa.s.sed in this hour, Su Ming had consumed the juices of over seven hundred Sieved Cloud Leaves, something that noone would ever believe had actually been done by Su Ming.
Su Ming’s body trembled non-stop, his entire body quaking in pain, his chest growing increasingly tight, the juices in his body had not been digested by him yet, but the sheer quant.i.ty of herbs he consumed made him feel as if he could no longer swallow any bit more and even made him feel like throwing up, but Su Ming let out a low growl as he fiercely held on.
The burning feeling in his body had reached its peak as Su Ming fiercely hit his own chest with his right hand.
With a thud, the flame in his body seemed to have been kindled and erupted in an instant, blood spurted out from all his pores forming a mist of blood, from within Su Ming’s howls of pain could be heard, but at this moment, the number of blood veins he had had increased.
The hundred and sixty first blood vein, then the hundred and sixty-second blood vein then the hundred and sixty-third…… all the way up to the hundred and sixty-seventh before calming down.
Su Ming’s face was pale as he stood up and walked towards the door, with a bang his fist shot towards the door. The house shook once, and Su Ming threw up blood once more as he stumbled backwards.
“Not enough, still not enough!!” The insane Su Ming took out another bag of herbs, he knew that he could not take any more, but he still continued eating them without hesitation.
Seven hundred, eight hundred, nine hundred…… Su Ming’s mouth was covered with a green fluid, his body wracked with an intense pain a burning sensation filled his veins as Su Ming once more felt the number of blood veins increase.
Only this time, the blood veins that had appeared was no longer red, it had transformed into a strange brown colour without any of its original l.u.s.ter, signifying that in his madness, Su Ming’s actions had left some severe injuries on his body.
But Su Ming did not mind!!
The number of blood veins rose quickly, a hundred and sixty-eight, a hundred and sixty-nine, a hundred and seventy….. And it continued to rise, all the way till a hundred and seventy-three blood veins before Su Ming once more rushed the door, one punch, two punches and a third punch, the entire house shook again but the door remained sealed as before!
“Open!!” Su Ming roared as he no longer used his fists, this time he smashed his head against the door causing it to tremble once more as a small gap appeared, revealing the Wu Shan Tribe’s totem at the same time knocking loose some snow on outside.
“A ray of blood flowed out from Su Ming’s forehead, his eyes completely crimson as he once more struck against the door, ignoring all the pain coming from his body.
But in the end, all he could do was to open a small gap each time, unable to open the door any further.
Despair filled Su Ming’s eyes as he bitterly laughed while grabbing the remaining pouches Sieved Cloud Leaves, with a bang, all of the pouches exploded and the Sieved Cloud Leaves flew together forming a head sized ball of herbs. With another strike, he crushed the leaves together, a large amount of green fluid dripped out which Su Ming sucked up in one breath.
The moment the liquid entered Su Ming’s body, Su Ming’s body creaked, his blood veins raising frenziedly, a hundred and seventy five, a hundred and seventy-seven…… all the way up till a hundred and eighty-nine blood veins.
Su Ming’s entire body turned a sore red as he rushed the door once more, the gap opened by the door increasing a little more.
The Wu Shan Tribe Totem had more snow knocked off it as a small crack appeared.
Su Ming’s hands were covered in blood as the entire room was bathed in a red glow, the current Su Ming looked extremely tired, as if he was another person altogether. His hair was covered with blood, his originally innocent look transformed into a frenzied beast.
“I want to go back to the tribe, I want to fight for the tribe, I want to go back!!” Su Ming’s throat was entirely hoa.r.s.e, seeing the gap in the door widen, he once more smashed his head towards it!
“I must go back!!”
With a thud, blood once more sprayed out from his mouth, but without hesitation he once more smashed towards the door continuously, the gap in the door gradually growing wider as a few more cracks appeared on the totem.
He was going to be able to leave soon.
But as the cracks grew about half a finger wide, it stopped expanding. Given Su Ming’s current cultivation, he could only do so much, but not only this, the cracks which stopped expanding actually started to fix itself.
“Grandpa!!” Su Ming’s cry was filled with agony, after expending this much to to open the door, it had sealed itself shut once more. Suddenly Su Ming withdrew a small vial from his robes, inside were the three drops of awakened Man-Blood.
Without hesitation, Su Ming poured the contents into his mouth, but only a single drop was released, the two remaining drops was sealed by an invisible force, Su Ming knew, this was Grandpa’s way of protecting Su Ming.
The single drop of Man-Blood which entered his mouth made all the blood in Su Ming’s body boil instantly. Immediately he spat that drop of Man-Blood out, smashing it into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist with his left hand directly absorbing it from the pores on his body.
The moment it had come into contact with Su Ming’s body, Su Ming’s skin instantly transformed crimson, a powerful strength burst forth from within his body.
The number of blood veins on his body instantly erupted once more!
A hundred and ninety, a hundred and ninety-five, two hundred and one, two hundred and nine….. All the way till two hundred and twenty-four blood veins appeared. A large amount of black blood flowed out of Su Ming’s eyes, ears, nose and mouth, but his eyes remained filled with the same frenzy and determination.
