Ning Rou Li bawled like a child as she remembered the day she and Ning Hai Heng sneaked into the Tenebrous Billow Academy. They were caught by a teacher and were lectured by Ning Su Cai who was in the middle of an exam. Even though Ning Su Cai didn't report it to Ning Rui Yu, her father knew already. When they got home, Ning Rui Yu chastised them until she cried. Seeing his precious daughter weeping so pitifully, he pulled Ning Hai Heng out of the manor with him to buy sweets for Ning Rou Li. The more Ning Rou Li reminisced about the happy events she'd spent with her family, the more she felt her heart was bleeding in pain and grief.
Ning Hai Heng steadied his breathing as he looked at his sister then turned to his dead parents and brother.
'So this is what it feels like to witness your family being killed.' It was an indescribable feeling.
He raised his head to look at Zhu Xiao Wan who was fighting his family's killers. Were the feelings he and his sister were feeling the same feeling that she and her brother had felt when the Zhu Family were annihilated?
Swinging her Lianzhou, several Green Spirits of the Third Stage or below died an inhumane death. All that remained were gruesome corpses that conjured feelings of revolution. Any weak minded individuals would surly vomit at such a horrific sight. There were one Fourth Stage Green Spirit, two Fifth Stage Green Spirits, and that one Cyan Spirit left.
"What kind of monster is she!?"
"That strange scythe, too! How did a feeble-looking girl like her obtained such thing!?"
The First Stage Cyan Spirit's face was really ugly, he peered intensely at Zhu Xiao Wan. He looked like he wanted to eat her alive without even sparing a single bone.
"Keep attacking, she won't be able to hold on much longer." He had noticed the invisible barrier around her was starting to break. As waves of black outlined the barrier, one could see that there were cracks on it.
Whilst they kept on bombarding their power at her, she was still able to stop it all. However, her legs were aching in discomfort, that discomfort then slowly turned painful. It felt like her legs' muscles were being chopped into pieces; the bones in her legs fell apart as it broke into crumbs and Zhu Xiao Wan endured the intense agony of her bones being ground into powder.
Zhu Xiao Wan panted; the sweet iron-taste fluid in her mouth was forcefully swallowed, some still managed to flow out and slid down her chin. She tightened her grip and clove the Fourth Stage Green Spirit; his viscera spilled out.
Three left...
Bloody tears rolled down her tender cheeks and dropped to the ground. Her eyes felt like they were going to explode. But no matter how much agony she was suffering, she was like a block of wood - expressionless. Her vision was hazy, her consciousness also started to dim. Her eyebrows knitted, 'Not yet.'
Zhu Xiao Wan swayed and from the air, she dropped down to the ground. Instead of feeling crushed to the ground, someone caught her. Using the last shred of energy to lift her eyelids laboriously. After she found out whose arms she was in, Zhu Xiao Wan sighed silently.
Gently and carefully placed Zhu Xiao Wan onto the ground, he stood up. There was a wicked smile on his flawlessly handsome countenance as he scrutinized the three people she had yet to mercilessly kill.
"Leave this to me."
Sorry for the delay.
He didn't want his associate to die before she could be of use; the girl had not done anything yet. Withal, such a subtle and canny damsel that was also two-faced, it would be a waste to just simply die like that sans any accomplishment.
When he arrived in front of the manor's back gate, Song Hui Yao detected a gloomy and eerie power coming from inside. It was similar to his - elements of darkness. In sooth, it was more gloomy and bloodthirsty than his albeit he was stronger.
But who was the Owner of this...pure darkness divine-class Unique Pneuma?
Entering the manor of Prince Ning, he found out that the Owner of the divine-class Unique Pneuma was Zhu Xiao Wan. It surprised him that his ally was akin to him. His eyes slightly widened when a something emerged in his mind.
...Her contractual spirit was still asleep!
He then saw Zhu Xiao Wan fell down from above as the black scythe vanished into fogs. Song Hui Yao extended his arms to intercept her from colliding with the cold hard ground. Placing her on the ground gently to avoid hurting her, he stood up and studied the three people in the air. His mouth twisted up into a dastardly smile while his cold eyes were covered with another layer of frost.
Seeing Zhu Xiao Wan in such state, he somehow had an urge to imprison the presumptuous trio and let her maltreat them when she recuperated.
"Who are you?"
"If you want to live - scam!"
"Why is it that I was spared when they weren't?"
His respond infuriated a Fifth Stage Green Spirit. "This had nothing to do with you so get lost!"
"But...she's my associate." Song Hui Yao's figure flashed then appeared in front of the Fifth Stage Green Spirit.
Sizzle
"Ahhhh!" The Fifth Stage Green Spirit felt his skin burning, the sizzling sound made him nauseous. It was so agonizing.
The Fifth Stage Green Spirit was being grilled by Song Hui Yao's black fire until he turned frizzled.
"Blue Spir-" The moment the other Green Spirit opened his mouth, he was stabbed in the back.
Yin Yi pulled his sword and the Green Spirit fell to the brown earth. He looked at the already pale face of the First Stage Cyan Spirit and went to stand behind Song Hui Yao on the side.
The Cyan Spirit's forehead was covered with cold sweat, wanting to flee but found that his body couldn't move. 'What is this, why is his power almost identical to that monster!?'
He suppressed his strength so he wouldn't inadvertently butcher the guy whilst being dragged back. Song Hui Yao then gave Yin Yi a meaningful glance.
Yin Yi bowed his head; he understood what Song Hui Yao wanted him to do and got to work.
Song Hui Yao turned to the injured-looking body but no wound at all and walked towards her. Midway, he halted and inspected Zhu Xiao Qian's 'corpse'. His brows rose as his eyes glinted with a tinge of astonishment.
His heart had stopped beating, but why was there still a sense of life left? Zhu Xiao Qian appeared to be in a slumber rather than death.
"Bring Zhu Xiao Qian with us, too."
Yin Yi was bewildered but still complied with his task.
-----
"Master, do we need to call a doctor?"
"No need." Her injuries couldn't be healed by any doctor.
It was the price...
Yin Yi closed the door as he left, wondering, 'Could it be that Young Miss Zhu is similar to Master?'
Song Hui Yao stared at Zhu Xiao Wan, he never thought that there would be another person who had the sui generis power - Interchange Wondrous. As for the thing that Owners owned was called Unique Pneuma; in Zhu Xiao Wan's case, her Unique Pneuma was a weapon.
He sighed as he turned his head to the window and looked outside. He assumed that her price would not be light since she lost her consciousness and looked so wrenched at that time.
Guang Ling should be done with his business soon...
I had delayed this chapter for longer than the previous...hai...
