Lin Yu vomited blood in large mouthfuls, enduring the intense pain as he tried to sort out the chaotic meridians and damaged internal organs in his body. Just now, in order to force back the humanoid monster, he had recklessly urged his true yuan, completely ignoring the limits of his body. Now, although the monster had temporarily retreated, Lin Yu had suffered serious internal injuries. If he didn't receive treatment in time, even if the monster didn't attack, he would die from internal bleeding.
Lin Yu thought that since death seemed inevitable either way, he pursed his lips and gave a bitter smile. Instead of pulling out the insect blade inserted in his chest and abdomen, he nonchalantly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to calm his mind to heal his injuries. In a situation where powerful enemies surrounded him, his actions seemed crazy, but in fact, it was a life-and-death gamble.
If he continued to hold on with all his might and exhausted his true yuan at this moment, he would surely die. However, if he took this opportunity to restore his vitality, there might still be a glimmer of hope. Lin Yu was gambling that the monster wouldn't attack at this time.
Lin Yu had left his master's school when he was young and had been wandering alone in this complex world. With his firm will and extraordinary courage, he had forged ahead in the business world and carved out a niche for himself. His heart was as hard as iron. He was unrelenting towards his enemies and equally strict with himself. In the face of an enemy who could take his life at any moment, he could calmly sit cross-legged. Such courage and mental strength were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The monster watched Lin Yu meditating leisurely and didn't launch an immediate attack. Instead, it fell into a stalemate. If it were a cultivator or had some understanding of humans, it would know that Lin Yu was regulating his breath at this time. But it came from another plane. Since its arrival on Earth, it had hardly encountered any decent resistance. After the doomsday arrived, the laws of heaven and earth had undergone drastic changes, and most of humanity's technological weapons had lost their effectiveness. This made the monster even more unscrupulous and tyrannical. It was not until it met Lin Yu that it encountered a powerful opponent for the first time.
In the initial encounter, Lin Yu had chopped off one of the monster's arms with his exquisite knife skills. In the subsequent battles, Lin Yu had also demonstrated tenacious fighting power, making the monster wary of him and determining that this human was extremely dangerous.
Therefore, when Lin Yu sat cross-legged, the monster was actually intimidated by his actions. In nature, many creatures show caution when facing the unknown, and the monster was no exception. Although it was ferocious and vindictive by nature, Lin Yu's sudden move still made it suspicious and afraid to attack rashly.

After a moment of stalemate, the monster began to approach slowly, trying to launch a tentative attack on Lin Yu. Just then, a faint fluctuation of power emanated from Lin Yu's body. The monster's nerves tensed instantly, and it quickly retreated backward. In its view, this was a signal that Lin Yu was about to launch a powerful attack.
However, after a while, Lin Yu still didn't make any move, and the doubt in the monster's eyes grew stronger. Time passed quietly in hesitation and vigilance. Lin Yu himself didn't expect that the internal breath and true yuan he circulated while recuperating would turn out to be the key to saving his life.
Half an hour later, the monster finally couldn't hold back anymore. It wasn't that it had lost patience, but its physical strength and magic power had been consumed to the limit. If it didn't decide the outcome soon, it was likely to be dragged to death here.
"Roar, roar, roar!" The monster let out a low growl, mobilizing all the remaining power in its body. Its left claw glinted with a gloomy cold light. It decided to take a desperate gamble and determine the outcome with this one strike. This hunt had lasted far too long.
The black fog around dissipated. The monster no longer intended to use the fog for cover but concentrated all its power, ready to forcefully kill Lin Yu with absolute power and speed.
"Roar, roar, roar!" Roaring, the monster charged towards Lin Yu with the force of a thunderbolt, its sharp claws aimed straight at Lin Yu's throat. At this critical moment, Lin Yu, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened his blood-stained eyes.
"Spiritual Silk Binding!" Five blue-white true yuan silk threads shot out from the tips of Lin Yu's fingers, quickly wrapping around the monster's left arm like agile snakes. Lin Yu suddenly increased the output of his true yuan and pulled hard to the right with his left hand. The "Spiritual Silk Binding" mainly focused on controlling qi and was not extremely tough. However, the sudden increase in Lin Yu's true yuan made the silk threads a bit thicker.
Lin Yu had long discovered that although the monster had rich combat experience, astonishing strength, and speed, it lacked control over its center of gravity. Its attacks often only focused on fierceness and left no room for maneuver. This attack method might be effective in jungle battles, but when fighting against humans, it had a fatal flaw.
Sure enough, Lin Yu succeeded. The five spiritual silk threads broke instantly after shining brightly, but the monster also lost its balance due to the center of gravity shift and rushed past Lin Yu's right cheek at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, Lin Yu quickly pulled out the insect blade from his abdomen with his left hand. Despite the gushing blood from his chest and abdomen, he held the knife upright in the direction where the monster was charging.
