Chapter 203: Deep Blue Gaze
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lan Xuanyu was, in fact, aware that he had gravely offended Dong Qianqiu back in Heaven Luo Planet. But every time they were in danger and attempted to summon her, she would come without hesitation. Just based on this, she was heaven as compared to Ye Lingtong — who was h.e.l.l — in Lan Xuanyu’s eyes.
Lan Xuanyu did not have any time to consider the consequence when faced against a terrifying existence like the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger. He did not consider whether or not failing to escape would lead to Liu Feng and Qian Lei’s elimination as well. All of his actions were subconsciously done without any consideration in hopes of being able to save her.
But just as Lan Xuanyu was about to unleash the silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s to swing away after parting from Dong Qianqiu to lead the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger away, he suddenly felt a tightness on the loose golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s. A powerful pull came over and caused Lan Xuanyu’s own body to be pulled along to the extent that his silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s failed to grasp anything and dropped down.
He turned his head in panic to see a hand grabbing tightly onto his golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s and pulling so hard that he was pulled as well. Dong Qianqiu did not even bother turning her head and only used her hand to smack onto a nearby tree, unleas.h.i.+ng an ice mist that froze her hand to the tree together. Her action forced Lan Xuanyu to be pulled to her side uncontrollably.
“What are you doing? We can’t run like this.” Lan Xuanyu spoke in surprise. He had already flown over.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Dong Qianqiu grabbed him by the arm and exerted force from both legs to jump into the distance with him.
“Have you gone dumb?” Lan Xuanyu was rather anxious now. The cold aura from behind spread toward them as the faint dark purple aura surged around the entire region.
It was impossible for them to escape the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger’s perception with its 10,000 years of cultivation. By escaping in a single direction, they were bound to get caught!
Dong Qianqiu turned her head and looked at him obstinately: “I’m just dumb, what do you care?”
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu clearly saw glistening teardrops deep within her eyes. What’s up with her?
He then felt that Dong Qianqiu had used too much force while grabbing onto his arm, causing him to feel pain. But she had increased her speed and, upon dropping on the ground, Dong Qianqiu immediately pulled him and soared forward again.
Lan Xuanyu ignored everything else and immediately added force to his legs and sprinted with her as he curled the golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s around her waist again at the same time.
“Qianqiu, I’ve never tried to use both of my Blue Silver Gra.s.s to strengthen an individual before. It might lead to an unforeseen circ.u.mstance as a result of over strengthening, but I feel that it is our only chance.” Lan Xuanyu explained anxiously.
The buffs provided by the golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s and silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s were different and had their own merits. It was not that he was unwilling to try. He had experimented on Qian Lei’s Gate of Summoning before. The result was… the Gate of Summoning collapsing instantly.
Under such a result, how could he dare test it on Liu Feng? What if Liu Feng’s body collapsed?
At this moment, their deaths were practically inevitable under the threat of the 10,000-year Soul World. But since they were in Soul World, if they did not fight it out, when will they ever have the opportunity again?
Lan Xuanyu knew that even his Martial Soul Fusion technique could not stop the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger, but Dong Qianqiu had a stronger cultivation than him. If she was strengthened by both Blue Silver Gra.s.s, they might have the chance to survive.
“Bring it.” Dong Qianqiu replied without hesitation.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath as the silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s curled around his left hand, to which he used to press on her shoulder.
Dong Qianqiu also focused on her mental state and adjusted herself. When Lan Xuanyu pressed his hand down on her shoulder, she instantly felt the abrupt change in the power from the golden- and silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s.
One was blazing hot, while the other was ice cold. The two contradicting powers instantly soared within her body. A bizarre rainbow aura had appeared on Dong Qianqiu’s entire body and stimulated her to the point of intense trembling. However, an indescribable undulation had suddenly erupted from deep within her bloodline.
She suddenly turned with her pupils both in rainbow color. With her at the center, a frigid cold aura exploded forth, causing the light around them to dim down. This was not due to the deep purple from the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger, but due to a thrilling deep and dark blue.
Inside the dark blue light, a pair of extremely cold eyes emerged in the air and stared behind them. Right at this moment, the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger had charged out.
Dong Qianqiu’s rainbow eyes suddenly transformed into a boundless, dark blue as extreme cold aura burst forth.
The Sinister Dark Demon Tiger’s huge body turned sluggish as a dark blue layer suddenly blossomed from within its body and instantly transformed it into an ice sculpture.
When the dark blue color receded, Dong Qianqiu’s body immediately turned weak as she fell into Lan Xuanyu’s embrace, her face as white as paper.
Lan Xuanyu was scared out of his wits. He hugged her tightly and immediately turned and ran.
The instant frigid cold had caused his silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s to tremble as well. The pair of extremely ice cold and dark blue eyes that had appeared behind her back and merged into her eyes had left the deepest impression on him. Even the 10,000-year old Sinister Dark Demon Tiger had frozen from the extreme cold.
He carried Dong Qianqiu and sprinted for his life while retracting the silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s, leaving only the golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s on Dong Qianqiu’s body and transmitted its bloodline aura into her, sensing the state of her body at the same time.
At the present, Dong Qianqiu was extremely weak to the extent of being as weak as gossamer. This sort of state was similar to the state Lan Xuanyu falls into after using the Martial Soul Fusion technique.
Even Lan Xuanyu never thought that it would be successful. The power he had just witnessed was too powerful to the extent of being able to freeze the 10,000-year Sinister Dark Demon Tiger.
After sprinting away frantically, Lan Xuanyu realized he did not know how far they had run. He gradually slowed down and calmed himself down.
Dong Qianqiu remained fast asleep. After receiving the power of his bloodline, her aura had recovered slightly and became gentler.
Her long eyelashes drooped from her eyelids. As her beautiful features were so close at hand, it caused Lan Xuanyu to recall the incident where he bullied her back in Heaven Dou Planet. His heart felt remorse for some reason.
It was his first time seeing Dong Qianqiu in such a weak state. Looking at her, he immediately sensed the desire to give her tender affection from deep within his heart.
At this moment, Dong Qianqiu’s previous words suddenly came into his mind, “I’m just dumb, what do you care?”
Those seven simple words had left a deep carving in his heart. In that situation, she had chosen not to escape alone but chose to stay with him and face everything together.
After slowing down, Lan Xuanyu took a look at his surroundings. They were still within the dense forest. But for some reason, the surroundings had an ominous feeling.
Lan Xuanyu hugged onto Dong Qianqiu and looked around as he quietly focused his perception, greatly increasing the strength of the perception.
Right at this moment, everything around them dimmed down. Lan Xuanyu found that he was completely immobilized. He froze right on the spot, while everything around him seemed to turn into an unusual illusion.
What’s happening? What’s going on? His consciousness was working, but he was unable to do anything.
A strange, red light suddenly appeared and shot down from the sky like a light pillar, right onto Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu. In his hand, Dong Qianqiu suddenly became weightless as she started floating. Her posture became straight as she stood beside him. But her eyes remained closed, and she remained unmoved.
“Welcome to my world.” A figure gradually walked out from the darkness.
It was an extremely strange soul beast. At the very least, Lan Xuanyu had never encountered it from all the research materials he had read before.
