Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Don’t Be Afraid, Go Home!
“No!”
Within a split second, the sword sliced through the demon tree from top to bottom!
There was a sudden violent explosion. Scaling Spiritual Energy evaporated and everything melted in no time!
“Junior Sister! Qin Chuan!” Mo Qingchen shouted in rage!
He became hysterical as streaks of blood permeated his eyes!
There was no doubt that the attack had saved him. However, it crushed both Lin Qingxian and Qin Chuan, who were tied to the tree, instantaneously!
He felt torn up on the inside. His eyes were scarlet red and his hair was disheveled!
He seemingly thought of his junior sister, who was as pure as a lily in full bloom during summertime, and his senior brother, Qin Chuan, who was always kind to others. Now they had been turned into dust by that sword and scattered between heaven and earth. They perished along with the demon tree!
He clenched his blade until the skin between his fingers bled…
It felt as if he was driven into insanity!
A touch of wind blew over gently, leaving behind a faint voice.
“Dumb*ss,” it said.
Shen Changge’s figure shot through the dark mist. He could not help but rub his ears. Why the heck was he shouting like that?
This kid had not been very bright, even when he was young.
He was a good child but just a little dumb.
His junior sister and the Qin Chuan who were on top of that tree were obviously just the demon tree’s clones!
That demon tree was pretty intelligent. It actually created an additional clone of itself. It looked like it had already sensed Shen Changge’s aura a long time ago and had made preparations in advance. Without Spiritual Guidance and Rebirth, then it was possible that Shen Changge might have been deceived and would have proceeded to rescue the two fake clones.
By then, maybe the situation would have become even more ominous for his real junior sister and Qin Chuan.
But fortunately…
Shen Changge vanished instantly.
…
At that moment, Mo Qingchen had an awful look on his face. His eyes were scarlet red and his entire body was trembling. Right now, he was standing lifelessly in the same spot he had been, looking at the darkness. It seemed that a figure had just gone away.
“Arghhhh, ahhhhh! You killed my junior sister, slaughtered my brethren, and even used such vulgar words against me…” Mo Qingchen said.
Hooh hooh.
“You… humiliate me…”
Mo Qingchen panted heavily and opened his eyes wide. His delicate face was like that of a raging bull now.
Hold up.
That figure from just now. Why had he looked so familiar?
And that voice, too…
A figure who was almost equivalent to the shadow of his childhood appeared in his mind.
How was that possible?
But Junior Sister and Qin Chuan…
He walked over and looked at the spot where the demon tree had originally been located. At that moment, the place had already become a massive pit. It was as terrifying as a sinkhole. Mo Qingchen stood on top of the huge pit, and at that moment, he could still see the remnants of the golden and dazzling sword energy surging on the crater’s stone wall.
That was way too horrifying!
Every strand of that terrifying Sword Qi made Mo Qingchen feel that mighty power that almost annihilated him!
The man who unleashed the technique just now…
What Cultivation Base was he in? And what terrifying sword art had he mastered?
However, he could not seem to sense the aura of his junior sister and the rest of the people at this location… were they really reduced to nothing at all?
Mo Qingchen calmed down, feeling that this was not as simple as it seemed.
…
Amidst a thicker darkness, a demon tree was trembling quietly. Its mottled face that wore an eerie smile seemed a little distorted. The aura exuded from all over its body was extremely weak. Countless tree roots were on the verge of crumbling.
At that moment, the entangled tree roots suddenly loosened, and then, Lin Qingxian opened his eyes in confusion…
“What happened…?
“I… I think I had a dream… A very long dream…” she said.
Lin Qingxian freed herself from the tree. Her footsteps were light and energetic, but at that moment, she was high on alert…
“Senior Brother Qin Chuan? Senior Brother Qin Chuan!”
She shook her senior brother, Qin Chuan, who was beside her. However, Qin Chuan seemed as if he was in a deep slumber.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, horrifying roots slithered up and surrounded her!
Lin Qingxian’s pupils constricted as her beautiful face paled.
In an instant, appalling tree roots surged over and had her entangled, forming what seemed like a massive cage of knotted tree roots!
Dark and cold, the sense of confinement was the kind that could send one plunging into despair.
“I…”
Lin Qingxian’s pupils could not help but constrict. She had just regained consciousness, but she was immediately entangled by the demon tree. The demon tree was at the peak of the Liberation stage. Although she had already stepped into the Qi Bending stage, in all honesty, she was not good at fighting. What she excelled in were defensive-type Riding Arts and some healing techniques. At that moment, darkness loomed, and despair enveloped her. Her heart was left with nothing but coldness.
Am I going to die?
Lin Qingxian could not help but look back on her life…
She thought of her pathetic state when she was a child. The cold intensified and she again thought of her life after she came to the Empyrean Sword Sect. Although her second senior
brother was a little weird and brain dead, at least he valued the friendship between everyone in the sect. Otherwise, he would not have been bullied by her eldest senior brother so miserably at that time…
As soon as she thought about this, she remembered her a*shole eldest senior brother…
He always asked her to wash his clothes, but he was really handsome though… Washing the clothes of a handsome guy was still okay for her. After all, when she was young, her eldest senior brother, who would often brag about himself, was someone who she and her second senior brother idolized and respected…
Despite the fact that when the topic was brought up in the present, his second senior brother’s expression would look like he had just eaten poop.
In her ears, her eldest senior brother’s voice seemingly sounded once again, full of magnetism…
“Qingxian, don’t be afraid. Go home,” it said.
Lin Qingxian’s eyes widened abruptly. A moment later, miserable screams continuously sounded from outside. There was the clanking of swords and the crumbling of the surrounding earth. It seemed that something had collapsed while the chilling screams reverberated!
What happened outside?
And was that an auditory hallucination just now?
That warm voice full of magnetism…
That was impossible!
However, right at the very next moment!
She felt her body being set free. The tree roots that formed a cage around her loosened which allowed some faint light to slip in.
The roots loosened.
Lin Qingxian slowly dropped to the ground. She sat on the spot in a daze while she looked at the terrifying scene around her.
At that moment the demon tree had collapsed, cut off by its waist. A jet-black liquid that seemed just like blood was oozing out from the cut…
This was a demon at the peak of the Liberation stage!
It was dead…
At that moment, the ground crumbled and collapsed. The ground was littered with broken tree roots as if the tree had been pierced by ten thousand swords. The scene was a pure mess!
This…
What in the world happened here?!
Lin Qingxian sat right where she was in a daze.
“Junior Sister! Are you alright?”
At that moment, Mo Qingchen ran over frantically from a distance, his face displaying great worry. He was brimming with joy!
“Senior Brother Qingchen…”
Lin Qingxian looked in one direction with a complicated expression. Over there, a figure had seemingly left. It had been a chic and elegant figure dressed in white clothes that gave her a sense of familiarity.
Was that Senior Brother Changge?
But…
How was that possible?
“Why hasn’t Senior Brother Qin Chuan woken up yet?”
Mo Qingchen did not notice Lin Qingxian’s unusual look. At the moment, he could not resist looking at Qin Chuan with worry.
After a long time, Qin Chuan slowly woke up.
“Senior Brother Qin Chuan, are you alright?”
“I… I feel as though I’ve had a really long dream…”
“What in heaven’s name happened?”
Mo Qingchen felt a little strange. Why had Senior Brother Qin Chuan woken up so late? However, it was great that he was still alive. Mo Qingchen smiled. However, who exactly was that mysterious powerhouse from just earlier?
The Sol Sword Sect’s sword technique?
But why did that body shape and voice resemble Senior Brother Changge so much?
That was absolutely impossible, right?
Mo Qingchen gave himself a hard slap in the face to straighten out his thoughts as Lin Qingxian watched him strangely.
And at that moment, Qin Chuan looked around in confusion.
