Chapter 189: Somehow, I Owe You (iii)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Rattle—
The demon exalt in a large black cloak walked towards them with seemingly slow pace, yet he came and went like a shadow in quick succession. With several steps, he almost caught up with them, only about five kilometers away!
Mo Qiu looked over the shoulder of Luo Jianqing, gradually calming down.
Luo Jianqing had his spiritual power run at the highest speed in his body, and he even wielded some weak rules of nature between Heaven and Earth. However, the gap as wide as three realms made Luo Jianqing feel it impossible to escape. Nevertheless, he kept running.
Luo Jianqing clearly knew that his plan wouldn’t success easily, but they had no other options!
Luo Jianqing smacked on his elixir field and forced out his indigo lotus. Just as the lotus came out, Mo Qiu goggled at it with astonishment. Even Jin Li suddenly stopped and looked up at that lotus with his mouth slightly open.
While he was running, Luo Jianqing ordered his primordial life to attack Jin Li.
However, the lotus continuously attempted to go back to his elixir field, letting Luo Jianqing know its fear.
As the footstep was getting closer, Luo Jianqing felt that his power and blood were rolling in his body. He watched the lotus that was trying to winced back and shouted with bloodshot eyes, “Even if I die here and stop at Gold Core, I won’t allow you to flinch!”
The lotus seemed to stop instantly and flew to the front of Luo Jianqing.
At this moment, Luo Jianqing had a strange feeling, as if the lotus had a pair eyes and were seriously watching him. That was peculiar indeed, as no one’s primordial life could have its own mind, but Luo Jianqing had no time to think about it.
He gritted his teeth and forced a bitter smile, “Even if you broke into pieces, I will not… regret!”
Just as he finished, the lotus rushed back and directly floated in the way of Jin Li.
Jin Li should stop. He gazed at the little lotus quietly.
The lotus was just as big as a palm, but it was delicate and adorable. However, no one dared to underestimate it, as overwhelming and vigorous power surged out from it. Jin Li narrowed his blue eyes and looked at it silently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Huge noise came from the behind of Luo Jianqing, shaking Earth and Heaven.
The third noise marked the end of the battle. Luo Jianqing instantly spat a mouthful of blood, and his breath was immediately weakened. An indigo light flashed from behind and went into his body, which was followed by the demon exalt in black, whose cloak had been crushed.
His black hair was flying in the air, and his delicate face was exposed in the sunlight. No one could imagine that the Ocean Master of the First Ocean in the Demon Realm had such a young and innocent face with his blue eyes shining like a sapphire.
The bad wound of the primordial life made Luo Jianqing much weaker and he was forced to slow down.
So many scenes and stories flashed across his mind, from his rebirth to the current escape, and everything ended at the collapse of the Ku Mountain, where he was smacked away by Xuan Lingzi, yet the latter had been swallowed by overwhelming power, with present whereabouts unknown.
Luo Jianqing closed his eyes and put Mo Qiu down. He grabbed Mo Qiu’s hand and continued flying.
Mo Qiu frowned and looked at Luo Jianqing without any words. Jin Li was right after them, and they got closer and closer. When Jin Li was less than 500 meters away from them, Luo Jianqing turned to Mo Qiu and said seriously, “My master is still being trapped in the Ku Mountain. Promise me you will lead people to save him!”
Then he smacked Mo Qiu, yet the latter quickly grabbed Luo Jianqing’s wrist.
Luo Jianqing looked at Mo Qiu with shock. Mo Qiu smiled and asked, “What, you’re gonna cover me and let me go first?” Before Luo Jianqing could reply, Mo Qiu had smoothed his knitted brow and said with a bitter smile, “If I escape and let a junior sacrifice himself, it will be a huge shame on me!”
Luo Jianqing was baffled, “Mo Qiu, what are you talking about…”
A red light flashed across his amorous eyes and Mo Qiu chuckled, “Luo Jianqing, I have felt that I owe you something since you pulled out of your primordial life. Somehow, predetermined by karma, I owe you some very important thing, so I have to make it up to you.”
Luo Jianqing was even more confused, but he didn’t have time to ask. He said hurriedly, “Mo Qiu, just go first. You are more talented than me, so you are more valuable right now. Jin Lin doesn’t intend to kill us, don’t worry…”
“Luo Jianqing, it seems that you have already given me a chance.”
Luo Jianqing was stunned.
Mo Qiu’s hair flying against the rolling waves and fierce wind. His red clothes were like a flame. Mo Qiu curved up his red lips and gave an extremely beautiful smile. Luo Jianqing almost fell into a trance, as if he travelled back to a dozen years ago, when he first met his best friend in the inn out of the Liu Yan Valley.
He remembered that Mo Qiu was gorgeous but arrogant, brilliant but despotic. He was so haughty as if n.o.body on earth could beat him.
Now, they had gone through so many changes and become best friends, tiding over the difficulties together.
Mo Qiu was smiling slightly. His smile was clear and melodious, but soon he stopped. He fixed his complicated and profound eyes on the handsome cultivator in front of him and suddenly smacked Luo Jianqing away.
Luo Jianqing looked at him with disbelief. He felt a pang of heart-wrenching pain and shouted, “Mo Qiu!”
