Chapter 45: How do you want to die?
Seeing that she didn’t answer, Song Qingsong said with displeasure, “I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?”
Xiao Qingge was afraid that he would recognize her voice.
How could she dare speak?
She lowered his head silently and turned around to leave.
“Li Ran’s arrogance is fine but a mere mortal dares to ignore me?” Song Qingsong felt insulted by this gesture of hers.
With a wave of his right hand, a gale appeared and directly blew Xiao Qingge away.
Bang!
Her body smashed into a tree and she spat a mouthful of blood. An intense pain came from within her body. Her internal organs seemed to be damaged, but she still gritted her teeth and remained silent.
“Heh, you got quite the backbone.” Song Qingsong walked over and stretched out his hand to pull off her hood. “You wanted to act sneaky and refuse to show yourself. Let me see your face…” his words stopped abruptly.
He stared blankly at that face, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“Xiao Qingge?!” No wonder her back looked familiar. It was her!
Xiao Qingge staggered to her feet and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She calmly said, “It’s been a long time, Senior Brother Song.”
Song Qingsong snapped back to his senses and frowned. “Why are you here? “Who told you where this secret realm is located?”
Even if the Xiao family were to know of this information, they would not send a mortal here.
Also, how could she be together with Li Ran?
Xiao Qingge said, “This is my matter, so there’s no need to report it to you, right?”
She didn’t mention anything, but Song Qingsong was no fool.
As his mind spun, he understood many things.
“Are you trying to regain your talent and return to the cultivation path through this secret realm?”
Xiao Qingge didn’t reply. It could be considered acquiescence.
Song Qingsong grunted coldly, “You don’t know your place! You think you, a mere mortal body, is worthy of competing with me for a fortuitous opportunity?”
“Then I wish Senior Brother Song good luck.” Xiao Qingge didn’t say anything more and turned around to leave.
The Spirit Fruit was yet to be found, and she was so anxious that she didn’t want to mess with him at all.
Seeing her graceful back, Song Qingsong’s eyes grew colder and colder. Back then, as a genius cultivator, she had treated him coldly and without any warmth. Now that her cultivation had been completely lost, she was still so arrogant.
“Did I let you go?” With a wave of his right hand, Song Qingsong’s Qi shattered the tree and the tree fell towards her.
Xiao Qingge fled in a sorry state; she was nearly crushed into mush.
“Song Qingsong, what do you mean by this?” her face turned ashen.
Song Qingsong sneered, “Even though you’ve been expelled by the sect, you still have the imprint of our Supreme Dao Palace! Now you dared to collude with someone from a devil sect, what shame have you brought to the Supreme Dao Palace!”
“Today, I will clear the shame of my sect!” His eyes were sinister, radiating with killing intent.
The hairs on Xiao Qingge’s body stood on end as she forcefully said, “Kill me? Are you not afraid of Li Ran?”
“Don’t bring him up to me!” Hearing this name, Song Qingsong’s expression became even more vicious. “If he cares about your life, then why would he throw you here alone? Wait until I kill you and feed your corpse to the demon beasts. Who would know that I committed the murder?”
“You…” Xiao Qingge felt a chill run down her spine.
Is this vicious man in front of her Senior Brother Song, the one who was akin to a hero in her memory?
“There’s no grudge between us. Why are you doing this?” She really could not understand.
Song Qingsong smiled sinisterly, “If you want to blame someone, then blame Li Ran who made you so arrogant!”
Driven by Qi, the flying sword automatically unsheathed and whistled towards Xiao Qingge.
His eyes were ferocious, and all the resentment he felt towards Li Ran was vented in this sword strike.
“Li Ran…” Xiao Qingge closed her eyes in despair.
The last thing that appeared in her mind was not anger or unwillingness, but the figure of that man.
“Goodbye.”
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out, however, no pain followed as she had expected.
Her body was shrouded by a dark light, and like a light shining on a translucent cocoon, the flying sword was completely blocked.
“Dark Light Cocoon? It’s Li Ran’s talisman!” Song Qingsong’s expression became anxious.
The reason why he dared to attack Xiao Qingge was that she was a mere mortal.
That didn’t mean he was willing to fight Li Ran, especially inside this secret realm!
“Since this matter has come to this point. I must kill her as soon as possible!” Song Qingsong activated his Qi, and his flying sword shone brightly as it whistled towards the cocoon of light.
The amount of Qi that was stored inside the talisman paper was limited, so it definitely couldn’t stop him if he were to use his full strength.
Boom!
A streak of silver light shot out from the dense forest and slammed into the side of the flying sword, sending it flying.
On the other hand, the silver spear was inserted into the ground, and its shaft slightly trembled.
“Who is it?!” Song Qingsong turned around with a serious expression.
Seeing Li Ran flying down, his pupils constricted.
Li Ran ignored him. Instead, he glared at Xiao Qingge. “So you came to the secret realm to regain your cultivation?”
Xiao Qingge lowered her head with a red face. “I’m sorry, Senior.”
Her heart was warm.
It turned out that he had not left her alone but had been protecting her. This feeling of being cared for… was great!
“Why did you create more trouble for me?”
Li Ran shook his head. “You’re willing to sacrifice your life for the sake of cultivation? Does this path suit you…”
Xiao Qingge stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Li Ran had complained enough and turned to look at Song Qingsong. His smile faded, his voice chilly. “You dared to touch the person I brought inside. Tell me, how do you want to die?”
