Capítulo 91: An Unexpected Outcome.
*BANG*
Li Wei's gaze narrowed as he eyed the crimson haired man who had just left the chamber, booming at a speed of the 8th step. His sword, dull and trembling in his palm, swished to the such a man and poked the air.
*WANGGG*
A black murkiness formed from this, turning into a tiny beam of light.
*PSSST*
Then, within Li Wei's sight, a rupturing hole impacted the man and disintegrated his heart to dust...
*zzZSHOOOM*
Time sped up as his shining eyes dimmed. That once speeding man turned into a blitzing silhouette as he struck the skies at an unruly velocity, and from this, a startled scream resounded just before he disappeared!
"AH-"
Though it was stopped short as his voice gurgled, then dissipated as he travelled across the horizon like a fallen star...
Li Wei took a deep breath as a still silence enveloped the chamber, but in his ear, he could hear a whimper. Though, within such a sound, a strange emotion filled it.
His eyes shifted as he turned around and stared at a pale girl on the floor. Her maimed hand was on the floor, yet even through this, and even with Li Wei's presence, she seemed to realise that Chang Hui was gone.
Her eyes shook with an emotion that shocked even Li Wei. She went and grabbed the fallen white pouch to her side, and with a quick fumble, a blood red pill emerged.
She placed the pill in her mouth but didn't chew.
Li Wei remained silent as he watched her grab her hand, and in an agonising fashion, she pushed it onto her exposed arm that was still bleeding.
Her teeth clenched as her face distorted, but she still continued!
*Crunch*
Her teeth shut as that pill exploded into a cloud of dust, and in that exact moment, her dismembered hand began to wriggle!
"Guh!"
She shook as this occurred, but that strange emotion burned even more and forced herself out of it! Her eyes seemed to seethe with blue, where within a couple of seconds that hand had been reattached!
Li Wei observed this with an odd gaze as he murmured to himself.
"Extreme hatred..."
He could see a similar light in her eyes to his, though not from the same cause, its effect was practically the same!
One where you loathe yourself!
It was a light Li Wei felt very familiar with, and such a light was what made him ask for death! But, this girl seems different from him. Instead of asking for death, a sprout of rekindled determination sprung from the misfortune!
He felt a little awe from such a light...
*Cough*
Wen Mian, coughing a bit, didn't say a word as she tilted her head and gazed at Li Wei. Even with the insufferable pressure that billowed out of him, even with that appearance that resembled death, she remained unfazed.
Instead, she stood up with a shake and stared at him. Li Wei didn't speak as he felt even more respect.
'Nobody has been able to look at me like this except for Master... Yet she is so weak... I wouldn't be able to do that, heh... I guess this is what separates people like her from people like me. And now that I think about it, she sure is beautiful...'
Li Wei scratched his head as he looked away from her with a somewhat timid gaze. Wen Mian, looking on, spoke to Li Wei without a hint of fear.
"Who are you?"
Her voice was a little cold and full of that dreaded will, and as Li Wei heard it, his eyes began to shine. He replied, and with a twitch, he took a step back and turned around.
"Master sent me to guard you..."
As he spoke the world seemed to rumble ever so slightly, and a couple of incensed auras billowed out in the horizon. Wen Mian remained calm, and she spoke once more.
"Did your master say anything?"
Li Wei paused as he thought for a second, and without a hint of hesitation, he spoke.
"He told me to make sure you didn't die. I don't know, but it seemed that Master is stuck inside a void like-place. I could get out, which I guess is because of my abilities..."
Wen Mian's pupils gleamed an indiscernible amount as she nodded and gazed outside with malice. Li Wei sighed as those rumbling auras locked onto him, sending shivers down every disciple's spine who were nearby.
Though Wen Mian still seemed to be unfazed through it all, in fact, it seemed that she was getting used to Li Wei's 8th step presence. Li Wei, of course, doesn't know how to hide his aura, so letting it out is his only option.
Not that he has realised such a thing was an issue, in fact, he just guessed that powerful people were like this...
"Mhm, I don't know what Master will do once he gets out, but I'll stop anyone before then. I made a promise to myself after all, and if you die then my new life is meaningless... I think."
Li Wei spoke with a strange tone as he took a couple steps outside and gripped his sword with a trembling grasp. He was still a kid inside, so facing these powerful auras made him a little nauseous.
Nonetheless, he didn't back down, as he wanted to catch a shred of what Wen Mian has. That light, one that took a path he was unable to venture onto...
Wen Mian, gazing at Li Wei's tranquil posture that remained calm even through his teetering mind, clenched her fists. Unknown thoughts ran within her head, where, in a strange decision, she went and grabbed a blue book from her white storage pouch.
Her eyes shined an oceanic blue as she flipped to the incomprehensible string of words!
Li Wei, taking a glimpse of this, felt a little anxious. He swished his black ghost-like head to the auras that were just about to arrive, and he tried to throw that feeling out.
However, as he done this, a faint thought entered his head.
'If I let her die...'
Of course, he was just assuming that these auras had the intent on Wen Mian's death. This wasn't baseless, as he had found her with a hand chopped off and a revolting cultivator who was about to do God knows what.
'Then I'd be able to return to the heavenly realm, according to the figure...'
His expression distorted as a strange hope emerged. One where, somehow, he felt that that girl in his heart was still alive... It was odd, maybe even mad, but it battered him as if it was the truest possible.
Yet...
'No..! I won't fall for it again!'
His face distorted as he disregarded that idea! He won't live a life of regret and cling to his past. The now is all that matters, and if he doesn't do what he should then he would hate himself even more.
*Rumble*
His eyes, determined, watched three blurry figures appear in the sky, gazing down at him. A substantial pressure descended, causing trees to bristles with flutters and rocks to bounce.
Li Wei didn't move as he gazed at the three of them with his white eyes.
Thus, with a magnificent voice, an old man in the middle of the three spoke with shimmering eyes.
"Do you admit to attacking and slaughtering our second beloved disciple, Chang Hui?!"
The pressure surrounding Li Wei seemed to double in weight as spiralling cracks sputtered around him. Nonetheless, Li Wei remained still as his eyes narrowed and a strange playful smile etched itself on his face.
It was unknown whether he was doing this on purpose, but this smile brought chills onto the three in the sky.
"Yes. Master has sent me here to defend Wen Mian, so if you have any intent on harming her, I'll be in your way..."
The three in the sky remained silent as a solemn atmosphere clouded the sky. The old man's eyes shined a strange light, where he asked with an even greater rumble.
"Who is your master?"
The pressure seemed to materialise as it attempted to force itself onto Li Wei. Though, as it was doing so, a stupifying aura seemed to grumble out of Li Wei as that pressure quivered and retreated.
The old man's expression changed, but Li Wei didn't seem to notice as he replied with a peculiar gaze.
"I don't know to be honest, but he is a lot stronger than me..."
His voice contained a hint of hatred and also an unusual fear, and as the old man heard this a certain person seemed to ring in his head. He stumbled backwards, and eyeing Li Wei with a panicked gaze, he spoke.
"Oh... Well, sorry for disturbing you! We just came here to apologise for Chang Hui's sickening behaviour, and that his death is deserved! Now, I'll be off!"
Their auras churned as they transformed into three whooshes of air that blasted the sky. Li Wei's firmed hand loosened as he took a deep breath of air and sat down with a thud.
'I'm not used to this powerhouse business... But I kinda feel like Master back then...'
A strange nostalgia filled him as he gazed at Wen Mian. He didn't feel comfortable with all this sudden power he has been gifted, but he kind of liked it...
