Chapter 335: Is That You?
Translator: Udong Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong
Qian Jin shook his head and tried not to think of it. It was rumored that the demon girls have the ability to play with any male’s soul and Lucifer Lucy seemed to be able to do that as well.
Soon the third moon appeared in the sky and Qian Jin couldn’t lie on the ground anymore. He got up and looked around nervously.
On the dark horizon, a figure suddenly appeared.
Slender... that figure seemed so weak that she could be blown away by the wind.
"Luna..." Qian Jin stepped forward subconsciously but someone grabbed onto his shoulder. "Burg, I know what I’m doing."
Duren Burg and Lucifer Lucy looked at each other and both let go of their hands that were holding Qian Jin tightly.
Qian Jin looked at the beautiful figure under the nightly sky. They hadn’t seen each other in three years but the figure in Qian Jin’s mind didn’t fad due to time. In fact, it got even clearer in his head.
Qian Jin slowly walked towards the girl. The girl’s body shook a little as if she wanted to back off after seeing Qian Jin approaching her, but she stood still.
The distance between them was short but Qian Jin wasn’t walking fast. To him, it felt like it took him more than a hundred years to get in front of her.
Luna! Qian Jin looked at the girl in front of him. In three years’ time, Hai Luna didn’t change much. As a cold breeze blew by, her long black hair and her thin clothes fluttered in the wind. Qian Jin was worrying since she looked like she would catch a cold.
Three years ago under the same moons, this girl saw him off on the empty street in Qian City.
Three years later, they met again...
Qian Jin s.h.i.+vered as he raised his hands. He wanted to caress her hair, but he was stopped by the cold and emotionless eyes.
Qian Jin had never seen such cold eyes in his life. Even though Cech Flet’s eyes were usually cold but that coldness had some emotion behind it.
There was no emotion in Hai Luna’s eyes as if she was a beautiful doll and not a human.
"Luna..." Qian Jin spoke softly. "Are you here for me?"
There was still no emotion on Hai Luna’s doll-like face, she only lightly nodded as a response.
Qian Jin took a small step forward and wanted to hug the girl. Compared with three years ago, the girl was thinner. It wasn’t easy surviving in the Ancient Desert Sea.
Hai Luna quickly backed off. Qian Jin was stunned. Rather than backed off, it was more accurate to describe it as flowed back, as if she had no weight. Qian Jin could tell it was some kind of special moving technique.
"Moving technique?" Qian Jin was confused. "Luna, since when did you learn about fighting techniques? In this Ancient Desert Sea, how..."
Hai Luna slowly raised her right palm. Seeing this, Qian Jin smiled and raised his right palm as well. This was a game that they used to play as kids, without any words, they were able to sense each other’s warm through their hands. With their palms together, their heart would be hugging.
Warmth? Qian Jin suddenly realized that there was no heat coming off of Hai Luna. She was really like a delicate yet emotionless doll.
The two palms were getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, the long black hair of Hai Luna straightened and circled around her. A cold, powerful, and pressing Warrior Power appeared on her clear forehead. A grey light shone and the light quickly formed into a magic array, a magic array that Qian Jin was familiar with, a magic array that he could never forget.
Lucifer Nihan inside the metal mine. That powerful Fallen Angel Bloodline Warrior who died many years ago with his skeleton remaining had a similar magic array on the forehead.
Although there might be some small differences, the same presence, and unlively Warrior Power were there.
However, Qian Jin was able to tell the difference. Hai Luna’s strength was far more powerful than Lucifer Nihan.
This? Qian Jin was stunned. All of Hai Luna’s Warrior Power exploded. The sand under her feet didn’t even move, but her palm dodged Qian Jin’s palm and went for his chest.
At this critical moment, Qian Jin flipped his wrist, and his Warrior Power cycled at 45,000. Land Tearing Chop was activated and struck towards Hai Luna’s palm that was moving in at a weird trajectory.
The two of them struck each other, and the Warrior Power spilled in all direction.
Whoos.h.!.+ The residual Warrior Power made a series of sounds in the air as if hundreds of blades were slas.h.i.+ng.
"What is this Warrior Power?" Qian Jin frowned. The stronger the Warrior Power, the more liveliness it should have. This was the commonality between all Humans, Demons, and Barbarians. But Luna’s Warrior Power didn’t contain any liveliness, instead, it felt cold and dead as if it belonged to a corpse.
Crack...
A crisp noise sounded from the girl’s wrist. Although it wasn’t Qian Jin’s arm, he felt the pain. Under the warrior’s instinct, he unleashed all of his power under the danger, but he harmed his girl. When he wanted to draw back his power, he didn’t see any painful expression on Luna’s face, as if that arm wasn’t hers.
The broken wrist was twisted in a strange way, but the magic array on her head shone again. Her Warrior Power doubled its force, and she struck out again.
"How?" Qian Jin was surprised to see that she didn’t care about her injuries, but he was shocked to see that the strike looked a 30% similar to the First Hammering Technique of Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes.
However, compared to the powerful and dominating Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes, Luna’s strike contained more trickiness. The trajectory of the strike made Qian Jin have a hard time to determine where it would land.
Difficult! Qian Jin had never fought such a hard battle. If the opponent changed, he can easily bring out his Zhanmadao and battle. But since Luna was in front of him, he couldn’t use his blade, his arrows, and his killing strikes.
At such critical moment, Qian Jin didn’t have much time to consider everything. He went up against Luna’s palm and a loud noise sounded as they palms struck each other. Qian Jin felt like he was. .h.i.t by a rhino. Despite the fact that he felt like the blood in his body was about to rush out of his mouth, he held it in and held Luna’s palm tightly.
"Luna, it is me." Qian Jin raised his left palm and grabbed onto Luna’s other hand that was about to attack him. Didn’t matter how Luna’s Warrior Power rushed into his body, he didn’t let go. He wanted to use his warmth to wake Luna up.
Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...
The magic array on Hai Luna’s forehead lit up more and more, and the inhuman Warrior Power increase more and more. In the blink of an eye, it overthrew Qian Jin’s restraint, and the black energy on Luna’s hands attacked Qian Jin more aggressively.
Puff!
The reservoirs and connections in Qian Jin’s body just recovered, but they were injured again by the powerful Warrior Power in a short time. He spit out a mouthful of blood and some of it got onto Luna’s face.
A strange light suddenly flashed through her eyes as soon as the blood got onto her face.
A confused expression appeared on her emotionless face. At the same time, the magic array on her forehead that had the grey light flas.h.i.+ng shone even brighter. The confused expression was forced away, but Qian Jin was able to see the pain in her eyes. It wasn’t physical pain, it was a mental pain.
"Ya."
Luna suddenly let out a hoa.r.s.e cry. The grey Warrior Power on her grew in size and she suddenly head-b.u.t.ted Qian Jin’s forehead.
A war-drum like noise sounded and resonated in the desert. Hai Luna’s forehead was bruised, but she still couldn’t get away from Qian Jin. A series of ear-piercing scream came from Hai Luna’s mouth but she didn’t say anything that made sense.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Hai Luna head-b.u.t.ted Qian Jin again and again, and even Qian Jin who had Wind and Cloud Golden Body felt dizzy. Hai Luna, on the other hand, was already bleeding from her forehead, but there was no sign of stopping.
"How? Why?" Qian Jin let go. Although he could still hold on to her, he was afraid that Luna’s head might break because of it.
As soon as Hai Luna got loose, she cried out again and then dashed into the inner area of Ancient Desert Sea without looking back at Qian Jin.
"Luna..."
Qian Jin wanted to chase after her, but a lightning struck the sand in front of him. The sand that was yellow was instantly turned into black ashes.
A huge Golden Winged Thunder Eagle circled around Qian Jin in the sky. It stared at Qian Jin viciously, then it looked at Pam Honzi who hid in the sand, and it finally flew away.
Qian Jin stood still and watched Luna who was sitting on the back of the eagle and flying away. He had a feeling that she won’t come here again tomorrow.
"Is that really Luna?" Qian Jin stared at the direction where she disappeared. Although it was her body, her presence felt very different. That wasn’t Luna’s temperament and that wasn’t her strength.
In three short years, Luna who wasn’t a Bloodline Warrior and didn’t receive any training when she was young couldn’t get this powerful.
But if that girl wasn’t Luna, then who is she? Qian Jin felt like his head was very chaotic. He patted his forehead as he thought. "What is that strange magic array? I’m so busy and that I forgot to ask my Rune Master."
