There is a faint sourness in her heart. She held the jade pendant, so they shouldn"t see her. Moreover, her Lord Honor likely does to not want to see that stain which is her! Thinking about it, she decides to turn around and leave.
"And this is that big thing that you spoke of?" A calm voice, carrying a slightly lazy tone, came from behind.
"If I didn"t say so, how could I have gotten you to leave the Yan Court and come to this remote back yard?" The straight-forward tone sounding a bit aged. The highly lifted corner of the lip carried a pleased expression of some degree. "And how would it be possible to find the chance to kill you!"
Kill! Yin Luo"s heart stopped.
Her footsteps unknowingly halted, cautiously looking in that direction, finally realizing that there was also another person standing there, and in his hands is....a sword.
"Yan Fu, you really have the confidence to surpa.s.s me?" Yan Xi said coolly.
That person laughed, eyes narrowed into a fine line, "If it"s her Honor in usual days, don"t even say me, but even with the 6 realms" capable people together, would probably not be your equal. But today...." He snorted.
"What about today?"
Yan Fu"s smile deepened. A pair of eyes that were already narrowed into fine lines still could not hide that greedy glint, "With this Shu Xian Zhen, even if you are very capable, you will still be unable to move." Once his words came down, a great light emitted from under Yan Xi"s feet. Instantly, she has already lost the ability to move.
Yan Fu"s face showed his increased proudness. "There is a balance for all things, even for a G.o.d there is no exception. Who would have thought, the only thing that can temporarily constrain your G.o.dly powers would be the Liu Hua Flower"s extract with the addition of The Bai Hua Flower from Hua Yan Mountain. What you just drank, in that tea is exactly these two. I"ve spent a hundred years researching to finally come upon such a method. Today is the time when it will come of use."
Hua Yan Mountain, Yin Luo suddenly recalled. When coming back, that familiar figure that she saw, was it actually him?
After Yan Fu finished saying so, the long sword in his hand has already soared out, straight for Yan Xi"s heart.
"Don"t!" Yin Luo mind is a void of emptiness. Seeing that sword tip driving closer, even herself didn"t know how she why she had charged out. Yanxi"s front is blocked. The two froze at once. Yan Fu"s sword which was only an inch away from her, stopped.
After a moment of distraction, upon recognizing the person who came, he let out a loud laugh, "Hahaha....Yan Xi you wouldn"t have thought so, right? At a moment like this, the one who comes to save you is actually the person whom you"ve never let into your eyes. It"s only too bad...." His eyes narrowed, but unable to hide the contempt in his eyes, "A useless person, in the end will always be useless!"
A useless person. A strange feeling surfaced in Yin Luo"s heart, but she knew that it was not the time to contemplate things.
"Fu....Shu! In these few hundred years, you were obviously the one who revered her Honor the most. Why is it that now, you are wanting to point a sword towards her?"
"Why?" Yan Fu laughed coldly, "What did you think my purpose for coming to the Divine Mountain was? Only for admiration of the G.o.d race? Yin Luo you are too naive. Who in the world doesn"t know, the power of the G.o.d"s race runs through the veins. By drinking the blood and eating the flesh, can obtain those G.o.dly powers. You thought that all who is on this Divine Mountain all came in reverence for the G.o.d race? A joke! Chasing after supreme power is a person"s natural instinct. I"ve endured a few hundred years just waiting for this moment!"
"That"s only hearsay!" Just for this hearsay, he deliberately came to the Divine Mountain!
"Who can be certain that this is only a hearsay!" Yan Fu"s eyes are already flushed red, dead set on Yan Xi, "I can"t care for all that! Exhausting all this effort, it"s just to wait for this moment. Yan Xi, if a person like you who doesn"t even regard your own sister"s life can be a G.o.d, than I Yan Fu can also be one!"
He raised his hand and dealt a palm towards Yin Luo. Yin Luo only felt a strong wind sweep over, directly aimed at her chest. The body, without control, was thrown away, cruelly ramming into the boulders behind. In that moment, air and blood flowed backwards. An immense pain took over her heart. Her, having just gotten better from an injury, naturally would not be able to endure this palm. Already, she doesn"t have the strength to get up.
As for Yan Xi, who is only two steps away, was still with that icy expression. The Shu Xian Zhen below her feet is ablazed with light. Her figure hasn"t moved. Within those empty eyes, there is no one, and most definitely there will not be that person who risked death to shield her from the sword.
Yin Luo retrieved her line of sight, grit her teeth, her heart flushed with bitterness. What was she expecting? Expecting her one glance of concern? Obviously knowing that it is only wishful thinking, but she still automatically charged out. Even she didn"t know why she did so, but she just did it.
Like using up the whole body"s strength, she stands up once again, looks towards that Yan Fu who was pressing closer step by step, "Wait! Wait! Don"t.... I"m also a G.o.d! If you need blood from the G.o.d"s race, I"ll give it to you!" Her Lord Honor and her is different. If she died, it"s just like brushing off some dust from the body. Her death is not a loss. No one would care. Even more, no one would feel pained.
But her Honor is the lord of the six realms. The world cannot be without her.
"You?" Yan Fu who looked as if he had heard a very funny thing, lets out a round of wild laughter, "Hahaha...just with that meager ability of yours, you can be worthy of being called a G.o.d? Only afraid....instead of recieving any G.o.dly powers, it"ll ruin my Enlightment instead!" He scofted, concentrating his attention on glaring at that red robed lady standing before him, "Yan Xi, right now the Liu Hua Flower pond is alread filled with Bai Hua Flowers, you can not escape. I only need to devour your blood and flesh, and I will be a G.o.d!"
He flew in closer, the cold and piercing sword tip allowing no room for movements, but Yan Xi does not even appear to hold the slightest of surprise. The corner of her lips lifted into a cold smile that almost seemed to not exist.
"This is of your own asking!"
A loud bang and sound of metal clamoring!
An ethereal sound echoed, the sound of weaponry falling to the ground. Upon seeing blood fly through the air, enormous amounts of blood sprayed out from Yan Fu"s body. That right arm that was still holding the sword in hand, at this moment is already lying quietly on the ground with the sword.
Yan Fu"s complexion is pale as a paper, eyes opened wide, staring at that person facing him who had not moved even a slight step, choking as he staggered back a few steps, "How could....how could this be possible! I used the Shu Xian Zhen Array....."
"The Shu Xian Zhen Array?" Yan Xi let out a cold laugh, eyes narrowing slightly. Instantly, coldness overflows through them, "I think you have definitely waited too long. You"ve even forgotten, I"m not a Xian!"
She said it one word at a time, took a step, and walked out from within that array spell.
"No....No...It can"t be!" Yan Fu shook his head, not believing, fixed on her every step, completely forgetting the pain of losing an arm.
Yan Xi"s smile only deepened, "Yan Fu, you should remember. I"ve spoken to you before, what kind of ending awaits those that offend my G.o.d race!"
Yan Fu who was motionless, gradually raised his head to look towards her face that was still cold, penetrating into the bone. His eyes widening more and more, full with horror, "You...you knew of my motives!"
She scoffed, "Your disgusting thoughts, from the first day that you"ve entered the Divine Mountain, I already saw through. Originally thinking that you would be able to endure it for a while, didn"t think that you would come to die that fast!"
Yan Fu becomes more fl.u.s.tered. The sword in hand, he already cannot steadily hold onto it. "You were already aware, but still watched your own sister risk her life for you." He snorted, "Had always heard that the G.o.d race is emotionless, I can see that it is not even a little false!" He says while retreating.
Taking a step to the side, besides the Liu Hua Flower pond, he let out a cold laugh, "Although unable to kill you, but I would definitely not let you have it easy!" While saying so, with a hand, made a movement and pointed towards the Liu Hua Flower pond. Suddenly, the water in the pond seems to have been sucked up, comes up from the ground, becoming a pillar of water, going directly towards Yan Xi!
However, Yan Xi has not made any movement to step aside. Her head turned, glancing towards the Liu Hua Flower pond, she laughed coolly, "So be it. Since you desire it this much, I will give you a hand. Only..." Her eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light seemed to emit from inside them, "Only, you should know, all who are killed by the hand of a G.o.d will result in "soul, fly, soul, scatter"!"
In that split of a moment, with a sound like something fracturing, the water in the air suddenly comes down. Fresh blood tainted the night sky. Yan Fu gave a miserable scream, rolling on the ground. There on the ground, is another broken arm.
His pair of eyes become violent. In immense pain coupled with the gradual loss of strength, the arrogance from prior has long disappeared without a trace. What is remaining, is only the fear of death, "Your Honor....I am wrong. Your Honor.. mercy!"
Yet she appeared as if she hadn"t heard it, eyes wandering, figure haven"t moved. Except that fracturing sound continues to carry on, Yan Fu"s left foot has already parted from the body.
A heart-piercing cry of pain travels into the ear. Yan Fu, who is only left with one foot, rolls on the ground like a fish. The originally green gra.s.s, already is stained red by his blood. Relentlessly staring at those separated limbs, a miserable sound as if coming from the bottom layer of the earth sounded out "My leg... my leg... leg..."
However, the horror did not stop because of this. The ripping continued, fresh blood sprayed out again. His only remaining limb is already lost. He is now like a human rod, tormented by pain, but because of his Xian physique, can"t die even if he wants to. He can only glare bitterly at the one responsible, "Yan Xi, you are not a G.o.d... You are a devil, I must kill you... kill you..."
A swish sound, and he has already lost the right to glare. Two round eyeb.a.l.l.s rolls onto the gra.s.s. Immediately, they are smashed underneath his body which is rolling from pain, emitting a slapping sound.
"Yan Xi....Yan Xi....you are...unworthy to be a G.o.d...."
The red-robed woman besides him, still has not moved since the start, as if blind to the h.e.l.lish plight taking place in front. On her face, is still that frost-like icy expression, unwavering, one at a time taking away everything from the person on the ground.
First is the hands, next is the feet, than the eyes, and following is....
Yan Fu who started out asking for mercy, then resentment, lastly whole-heartedly wishing for death.
"Kill me...Kill me...."
Miserable screams that pierced through the heart until it trembled, Yin Luo only felt a turning in her stomach, no longer able to endure and vomited.
"Stop! Stop...." The voice that is pulling on the fiery red robe, pleaded in a whisper, "Enough, it"s already enough!" Even if Yan Fu had a thousand wrongs, this kind of punishment is still too much.
Yan Xi turned her head around, glancing towards Yin Luo who was sprawled on the ground, the coldness in her eyes becomes even colder by a few degrees.
After awhile, suddenly bending down to pick up the sword on the ground, lightly caressing the blade of the sword that carried a cold chill, and dully said, "Heard that you want to attend the Sword Seeking Ceremony!"
Yin Luo was taken aback for a moment, her hand at her side is clenched dead tight. After a moment with teeth clenched, nods, "Yes!"
She let out a cold laugh, eyes glancing over the floor of blood and then up towards the Divine Mountain"s highest peak. What seemed like a careless chatter carried a chill with it, "And if, I said no?"
Yin Luo abruptly lifted her head, eyes widened, tensely biting her bottom lip, constraining that immense pain at the bottom of her heart, "I....am also a G.o.d!" She didn"t want to even not have this right.
Yan Xi frowned, the coldness in her eyes increased, "G.o.d? You"re joining the Sword Seeking Ceremony, is it only to make others accept your qualifications as a G.o.d?" She laughed coldy, her eyes becoming more bitingly cold, "You really want to join the Sword Seeking Ceremony? And trouble me!"
Yin Luo was speechless, only tightening her brows more.
She just faintly spread out a smile, raised his hand and handed over the sword, "Alright! Then kill him!"
