Meng Hua came out of his own means that he was confident in taking on Xiao Xi Xing alone. This made things both easier and more difficult for Xiao Xi Xing as he wouldn't have to worry about sneak attacks or collaborating tactics.
However, this in turn robbed him of the plan to take those two girls hostage and left him with no choice but fight this rank six expert one on one.
Xiao Xi Xing summoned more blood needles to attack, but they have next to no effect on the golden light enveloping Meng Hua's body.
Meng Hua after having walked out of the light barrier, began preparing his attack. He pulled his arms back while his legs squat down into a horse stance, his aura surging like waves. A breath later, he turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot he was in previously.
Xiao Xi Xing upon seeing Meng Hua disappeared before his eyes was alarmed, he was about to retreat when he felt like a bull has ram straight at his stomach, causing him to blink voluntarily.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the ground with his back leaning on a huge tree, seemingly crashed into it, creating a human size den. If not for the blood barrier protecting him, he would be dead by now.
Xiao Xi Xing coughed up some blood before creating a dark crimson light that enveloped his every nook and cranny, while new transparent-blood barrier began form in a semicircular shape three layers around him.
Xiao Xi Xing thought to himself: 'I underestimated this old fellow, I was too careless. That strike earlier almost killed me. If it wasn't for this special blood barrier then I probably would've died! I thought this old man was only strength - no speed, clearly this isn't the case.'
After he finished healing himself and tighten his defenses, Xiao Xi Xing stood up and looked ahead of him.
Before him stood Meng Hua, still as a statue, waiting for him. What shocked Xiao Xi Xing was there are no injuries on Meng Hua's body when his blood shield were supposed to counter attacked when there is impact.
Although Meng Hua's body stood still like a statue, his eyes tell different story as he spoke coldly:
"Xiao Xi Xing, give up now, this is your last chance. You should be able to tell the difference between us from that earlier strike, you're no match for me. Sooner or later you'll run out of life essence and lose, whereas I only need to activate a few Meng in my attacks and defenses. It's not because my cultivation is higher than yours, but because my strength mainly came from my body while your strength came from your Meng, your consumption rate of Life essence is naturally higher, we both know of this. If you surrender now, I will be merciful and not take your life. I will only cripple your hands and feet then get someone to take you back to my Hundred thousands manual sect to repent, how does that sounds?"
Xiao Xi Xing upon hearing this was initially surprised, then angry. His surprise was from the sincerity in Meng Hua's words, he felt like it was truthful words of a man who will do exactly what he said. If he said he'll spare your life, he will spare it.
Then there was anger, this anger was towards both his enemy and himself.
I'm angry because you looked down on me, because you think my life and death is up to you to decide.
I'm angry at myself because I was considering that option. I won't allow it, this pride of mine won't allow it!
I will kill you!
Bam!
Xiao Xi Xing immediately strike!
Xiao Xi Xing's attack caught Meng Hua by surprise. Not only did his opponent struck while he was not expecting, he even performed such a fast and quiet attack that Meng Hua wasn't able to see nor sense it.
This caused Meng Hua's body to have a den the size of a fist on his abdomen. Blood continued to flowed out while he felt a bit of his strength slipped away every second.
Generally speaking, Meng cultivator's attacks usually have a few seconds of pause for the cultivator to activate his or her Meng, aim, charge their attacks so that it can penetrate through the defenses of their opponent.
Xiao Xi Xing's sneak attack was weird and bizarre. Not only was it so fast and quiet that made it impossible to see with the naked eyes or heard with the naked ears, it also made no gusts of wind while traveling at such speed. The most bizarre of all, this attack can penetrate Meng Hua's golden light defense and injured him before he even has time to react, such attack is incomparably strong and should have emitted immense aura, but there was none.
In truth, Meng Hua's has seen fast attacks like this before, some faster even. However, none of those attacks has ever managed to injured him like this before.
It was firstly because of his golden light protecting him and secondly because one of his defensive Meng that could be activated by itself when sense danger, its senses was even ten times faster than Meng Hua's.
This kind of Meng is incredibly rare, no doubt.
There's a common knowledge in Meng cultivation. Fast attacks have weak offense, fast and quiet attacks have even weaker offense, while strong attacks with high offense have low speed and stealthies.
Attacks such as Xiao Xi Xing's sneak attack are generally made from using many Meng together to form a special move, but those moves would take some time to activate.
This led to another possibility, rare and special Meng.
Meng Hua's narrowed his eyes as he analyzed his opponent's attack at lightning speed while his left hand was compressing the wound, healing it.
However, his eyes have to opened wide when he tried tens of healing methods, but nothing happened to his wound at all, realization finally struck him.
Meng Hua's face turned from surprised to shock, then to anger, extreme anger.
"You heartless, inhuman bastard..." Roared Meng Hua with gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
Xiao Xi Xing who, by this time has already recovered, said with a mocking tone: "Seems like you have figured it out. That's right, this is the legendary forbidden Meng, Blood pulp killer essence."
Xiao Xi Xing raised his left hand, on his palm a 'moving' ball of red blood, its aura was of rank six Meng.
"This Meng is truly fascinating. Not only can it produced extremely fast and stealth attacks, its attack power is also high even among rank six Meng, its ability is even more fantastic!" Xiao Xi Xing explained with joy and admiration, his blood red eyes and creepy smile made him looked like a madman.
"But the refinement process though..." Xiao Xi Xing spoke quietly and dragged his voice down until he stopped completely, fear evident on his face.
"...!" Meng Hua's face that was already red is even redder now as he exploded with anger, there's even fear in the corner of his eyes.
From his knowledge as an elder of one of the nine great ancient sects, he knew just what kind of Meng was Blood Pulp Killer Essence. This Meng has frightening offensive powers, its attack was deadly silent and can "pass through" any defensive Meng of the same rank, many Meng of higher rank too even.
Most terrifying of all, was the fact that the wounds this Meng inflicted will continuously turn into blood pulp that drain its victim's Life essence continuously and erode the body further until nothing was left. Normal people would turned into a pool of blood after 10 minutes if left untreated.
That was not all, this Meng's attack has a special characteristic. Not only was it fast and hidden, it also causes no pain from start to finish. Meaning, the victims would have no idea they were struck and might not be able to treat it in time. They would be losing Life essence continuously on top of that, which made the slim chance of survival became next to nonexistent.
Thus, the name 'Blood pulp killer essence'. A legendary forbidden Meng that was incredibly strong, but also incomparably evil. People from righteous factions view this Meng with extreme hatre and disgust.
'To think I would see it here... I need to end this as fast as possible or else I would be the one that lose my life, I might even have to use that killer move...' Meng Hua cautioned himself with terror and fear.
But soon, he calmed down. Being able to cultivate to this rank and climbed up to the position he's in today, Meng Hua naturally has a lot of experience under his belt, which included severely disadvantaged battles and life and death situations.
'It's just that this one might be the hardest one yet...'
Although his mind was alerted, his face after a moment of exploded anger shows no sign of fear and emotions. He was expressionless like a statue, arrogant and looked down on his opponent.
"Although this Meng has incredible offensive ability, its cool down time is rather long and its cost of activation is even higher. I reckon you can use this Meng no more than twice, thrice at best." Meng Hua analyzed with great precision which left Xiao Xi Xing quite shock.
Xiao Xi Xing indeed could activate this Meng only thrice before he ran out of Life essence. However, after the fierce fight he had last month, his talent dropped and he could only activate it twice before he emptied his Life essence and has to recover.
On the outside, however, Xiao Xi Xing said nothing.
Meng Hua assessed Xiao Xi Xing's facial expression before continuing: "Xiao Xi Xing, surrender now, there's no point in fighting. Your average attacking methods won't work on me while you only have two chances left at your Blood pulp killer essence. As you can see, although my wound was unable to be healed, it is also unable to deteriorate."
"Although this meant I have to continuously supply my healing Meng to suppress the injury. My strength, however, has not fell in the slightest bit, because I'm a strength path cultivator." Meng Hua spoke with the same loud and dominating voice as before, his gaze as fierce as ever.
"Heh, haha, hahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"What a funny thing, I didn't expect you to care so much about me. Don't worry old man, I won't run out of Life essence anytime soon." Xiao Xi Xing said with creepy smile like that of a madman.
A few moments after that, strange things happened. Blood of the unfortunate villager that was killed by Blood Light Dead Flash in hundred radius area began to flooded up into balls of different sizes. What stranger was that some of the nearby balls began to 'flow' inside Xiao Xi Xing's abdomen one after another.
Moments later, it stopped. Xiao Xi Xing's aura that was weakened by the hit he took and his Life essence that was spent instantly recovered. Like this, Xiao Xi Xing return to his peak condition in one move!
"Battlefield killer move..." Meng Hua mumbled under his breath, awe and fear mixed in his heart.
For a minute, time seems to have stopped as both side stared at each other in silence.
Moments later, they pounced. Both side moved with speed that was almost impossible to see with the naked eyes. Their attacks were fierce, their killing intent was even fiercer.
Both side attacked with all they had, exchanging moves after moves, using all kind of different Meng. Sometimes one side held the upper hand while sometimes the other was defending with his life. Sometimes the table was turned and the winning side began losing.
The battle was getting fiercer and fiercer the more time passed the more it became desperate.
They fought for one night without rest from evening to dawn, until a figure of a man can be seen crawling on the floor with his hands and knees.
This man was none other than Xiao Xi Xing. Before him stood a man with big stature towering over him, this was Meng Hua.
Beside him stood two girls with great beauty, they looked exhausted and weary. The elegant air surrounding them previously was gone, their beautiful clothes from before were torn and ripped, stained with blood and dirt.
They are Meng Hua's daughters Meng Yun and Yao Ming.
The outcome of the battle was clear, Xiao Xi Xing has lost and Meng Hua won, both side suffered heavy injuries.
*pant* *pant* "You are deserving of your reputation, Meng Hua. If you let me live, I promise to never forget this mercy and repay it a hundred times." Xiao Xi Xing spoke with difficulty, pain all over his body. Just merely speaking already took a lot out of him.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Towards Xiao Xi Xing praise and plea, the father and daughters trio only answered him with silence. Although exhausted and in pain, Meng Hua's eyes were resolute and firm while Meng Yun's eyes were full of disdain.
During the fight, Xiao Xi Xing employed many plot and scheme, playing tricks and underhanded methods. Meng Yun was already fed up with it.
Yao Ming on the other hand thought otherwise as her eyes showed pity and admiration.
Xiao Xi Xing caught a look in her eyes and saw hope. He continued to plead, offering them all sorts of favor and treasures. Be it rare treasures or killing people, he could do anything for them.
However, he was met with silence once again as his opponents did not answer him. This however, did not disheartened him, but gave him confidence. The fact that they are not killing him proved that they were interested in his proposal and were mulling over it.
Xiao Xi Xing did not wait another second and add more to his offer, even going as far as to be their servant.
Meng Hua's facial expression did not change, but his two daughters' surely did. Yao Ming was bought, but Meng Yun was not as sure. She was initially very interested, but upon closer consideration, she gave up on this idea.
"Ok, if you promise to behave and not cause any trouble then we will spare you." Said Yao Ming with gentle and cheerful smile.
Xiao Xi Xing smiled back to her and replied: "I promise."
"Then it's settl-" Before Yao Ming could finished her sentence, she was cut off by Meng Yun.
"Wait a minute!" Meng Yun said loudly.
"What's wrong sister?" Yao Ming asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I think we should kill him to avoid further complications. Think about it, he is a demonic path Meng cultivator who has targets on his head. He killed thousands of people and offended many many sects, the number of people after his life is thrice the people he has killed. We cannot accept him." Meng Yun spoke matter of facts, her eyes were resolute as she has made her decision.
"But he's a rank five peak stage cultivator who can go head to head with rank six, he's even on par with father. Having such a person on our side would greatly help us in the competition for Heavenly inheritance, don't you think so?"
"But you forget one thing Yao Ming, you forget that he is a demonic path cultivator. He's not ordinarily rank five peak stage cultivator, HE IS a demonic rank five peak stage cultivator who can rival rank six. We all know that demonic path cultivators are vicious scumbags, the lowest of the low, they cannot be trusted. It took all of us to subdue him, but what if father was not here? What if we took him in and someday father was not there with us? What can we do? It took all of us to subdue him, even then it was full of difficulty, but what if he recovered and stab us in the back?" Meng Yun snapped back at her younger sister. Her kindness has always been a strong point of her sister and she as her older sister was always proud of it, but today she knew that her sister was too naive and her kindness got in the way of what should be done.
"He wouldn't do that, I know it, I saw it in his eyes-"
"Oh god, WAKE UP YAO MING. This is the real world and real life, he's deceiving you. He's not the same as Mo Lin Tain, do you think all demonic cultivator are as kind as him? Do you think he would keep his promise and be your servant just because he said so?"
"I-i..." Yao Ming stuttered, but did not say anything else. She shut her mouth and look down at the ground in shame and embarrassment.
In truth, Xiao Xi Xing's words were half true half lie. He was initially stalling for time for his Life essence to recover by consuming the remaining blood from the surrounding secretly and made his escape. He didn't expect Yao Ming to actually want to spare him and took him in as her servant.
'So be it ' By this time Xiao Xi Xing has already resigned to his fate. He was tired and exhausted, not just from this fight, but from life as a demonic cultivator as a whole. He was moved by Yao Ming's kindness. By becoming her servant, he would turn into a righteous path cultivator with a stable life and safe place to live in. Ridding himself of his sins bit by bit.
So he replied 'I promise '.
However, fate like to play tricks. Just as he thought he was gonna live, Meng Yun interrupted and the two sisters had an argument. Now his outcome would most likely be death.
He could offer them more, but his heart won't allow him to. What other things could he moved them with, other than his services and treasures? What he has left are his Meng and himself. Giving his Meng would mean betraying all his hard works, his commitment, his sins he has borne in acquiring them, and all the lives lost in the process.
Most importantly, it would be no different than crippling himself. Selling himself as a slave was not an option either. Being a slave means putting collar on himself and lose his freedom.
Even worse, if they somehow have Slavery Meng and use it on him, he would be no different than a dog, might even worse. He would have absolute loyalty and valued their orders over his life, he would think nothing was wrong with it as his life goal was to serve them to the best of his ability with no will of freedom and no thought to break free, that is the power of Slavery Meng.
"Fine, if you won't do it then I'll do it myself." By this time Meng Yun has already walked forward with a blade in hand, ready to finish him off.
Xiao Xi Xing looked at Meng Hua and saw no change in his expression, the man was as still as ever. He took a look at Yao Ming and their eyes met before she turned her head away in shame.
"So this is the outcome." Xiao Xi Xing sighed as he closed his eyes, seemingly accepted his fate.
It was this moment that Meng Yun swung her sword down towards Xiao Xi Xing's neck, but she was forced back on the ground!
Xiao Xi Xing counterattacked!
In a flash, Xiao Xi Xing was on her and was ready to strike. "If I'm going to die anyway, then I will at least take you with me to the afterlife!"
As he said so, he covered his right hand in blood Qi and attacked. Xiao Xi Xing's hand was moving at lightning speed before coming to a stop 2 millimeters away from Meng Yun forehead.
The whole process took less than two seconds. After the shock, Meng Yun looked up and noticed that Xiao Xi Xing's body that was on top of her was without a head, blood flowing out of it nonstop.
Instead of a horrified scream, Meng Yun calmly pushed Xiao Xi Xing's body away from her and stood up to assess her surroundings.
She noticed that her father has his left palm out, but did not move from his place while her younger sister was stunned and was processing what happened.
"Are you okay?" Meng Hua asked with concerns.
"I'm fine father, thank you for saving me." Meng Yun replied with a warm smile towards her father.
Meng Hua smiled back, but did not say anything else.
Yao Ming ran towards Meng Yun and hugged her tightly before crying. "Sister, I'm sorry I was wrong. I should've trusted you..."
Meng Yun hugged her back and consoled: "It's fine Ming'er, you're still young and inexperienced. It's normal to made mistakes, just remember this experience and don't be easily deceived again."
"I'll remember it *sob* I'll remember it well."
Meng Hua seeing his two daughters have reconciled was relieved as he has a smile on his face.
'Sigh, I was testing his sincerity. It's unfortunate that he fail and counterattacked or else we could have keep him.'
But moments later, that smile disappeared from his face as horror and fear was the only thing in his expression.
Meng Yun after noticed her father's horrified expression was shocked. She has never seen her father made that expression in her entire life. Even during the fight with Xiao Xi Xing, he hasn't showed an ouch of fear for her to see.
So what is it that her father was so afraid of?
"Father, what—" Meng Yun was about to ask when her father shouted.
"MOVE!!!" Meng Hua shouted as he jumped and held his two daughters in his arms before jumpimg quite a distance away.
His body was in pain all over, but he ignored it as he stood up and looked in the direction he came from, a meteor has fell to the ground, destroying the place. Dust flew everywhere as explosion was created from the impact.
Soon, the dust cleared and revealed the place. The place that was once a flat surface filled with dried blood on grasses is now a huge crater over five meters deep.
After the dust subsided, Meng Hua noticed that the 'meteor' has stood up. This confirmed his suspicious and fear as he made his mind to leave this place as fast as possible.
What stood there on the crater was not something, but someone. It was a young man on his late twenties. The young man possessed quite a handsome face with gray white hair. On his clothes were traces of cuts and burns all over the place, but somehow it was still intact as a whole. The young man seemed to did not notice them as the only thing he was doing was looked up at the sky, staring into distance.
Meng Hua turned to his daughters and said hurriedly: "Quick, stand up, we need to leave this place."
Meng Yun and Yao Ming were still confused with the situation and did not understand what's happening. Meng Yun who has somewhat regain her composure asked: "Father, what is happening? I don't understand."
"You don't need to. I will tell you everything later, now we need to leav-"
"Look, isn't that a person? Shouldn't we go take a look?" Yao Ming announced her discovery and suggested.
"No!" Meng Hua glared and shouted at Yao Ming, which he quickly stopped himself and closed his mouth using his hands.
Yao Ming was both shocked and scared. Throughout her life, her father has always been a calm and gentle towards her. Her father now, however, looked unfamiliar and strange, she felt like he is a different person.
"Father, what's going on? Why are you acting like this?" Meng Yun asked as she made her way to console Yao Ming.
"Can't you see? He's an Immortal!" Meng Hua pointed to the 'meteor', the man who stood still from his landing to this very moment.
"Immortal?" Both Meng Yun and Yao Ming's eyes lit upon hearing the word.
In her excitement, Meng Yun asked her father enthusiastically: "Isn't this great then? We can help him and ask him for guidance. Or we can even befriend him and asked him to help us with the Heavenly inheritance to return the favor! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity father!"
"You... ARGHH!" Meng Hua was so angry at the moment that his face turned red. Why is his smart and independent daughter being curious now of all time? Why is she so stubborn and confident in herself. For a moment, Meng Hua wish his daughters were dumb and obedient.
'No, wait... If they're dumb and obedient then they wouldn't have survived till this day either....'
Meng Hua shook his head and gather his thoughts. After five seconds passed, he regained his composure and answered his daughters: "My daughters, we don't have much time and we need to leave as soon as possible. It looks like you two need an explanation so I'll give you one."
Meng Yun and Yao Ming nodded, waiting for his explanation.
"Did you see that man over there? You might not be able to tell, but I'm sure he's an Immortal. Did you see how he landed and the state he was in? If he's an Immortal then why is he in such state? Clearly he has suffered injuries from somewhere and landed here. It might be another Immortal, a magical beast or a group of them, or even both. Either of those are out of our league and we cannot, absolutely not, risk the chance staying here." Meng Hua tried to explain as short as possible while not leaving any important details, his voice was hoarse and cracked occasionally as he himself was shaking.
The two girls only need a moment to processed this information as their faces turned pale from realization. Even if their father didn't say it, they knew that what he meant was basically that they would die if the one who injured this Immortal appear.
The two girls nodded towards their father and were ready to move when suddenly they heard a voice laughing so loud that it made their ears hurt.
"We were too late..." Meng Hua said in despair as he look at the direction of the voice.
In the sky high above existed a peculiar small lump of cloud, it has many colorful spot everywhere moving randomly.
This cloud seemed to move unusually fast but in rythm. Upon closer inspection it looks like a giant group of birds on migration. When it came close to the ground with only a few hundreds meters away, one would realized that this was neither a lump of cloud nor was it a group of birds, it was people.
It was a giant group of people floating in the air moving together slowly. The many colors that was seen previously are from their clothes, shoes, hair, weapons, scroll, lights barriers surrounding them, and many other different things.
"These people are all Immortals, I've never seen something like this before, what's happening to the world..." Meng Hua said in a daze and amazement on his face, so were his daughters as they halted their movement.
"Hahaha, to think the famous Three Sword Chen Yi was only this much, rumours truly are exaggerating." An Immortal with shinning red hair and a young face said with arrogance.
"Don't be so hard on him, he's still a senior Immortal with long history. Who knows, maybe he might has some tricks up his sleeve ~" A female Immortal with a seductive face wearing white dress that was tight fitting with her alluring body chipped in. Although her words defended the man, her eyes which was full of disdain said otherwise.
"What kind of tricks this demonic lowlife can even pull? He flew all this way after taking just one strike of my Earth Shattering Palm, I'd say he's not as impressive as everyone think." Another Immortal with a square face and broad shoulders and tall body said in contempt while smirking.
As he finished saying so, the crowd of Immortals began laughing loudly as they landed and surrounded the man in crater. The look on some people's face, however, were not as relaxed as their companions.
The Immortals have landed and created a small space with a radius of 10 meters radius surrounding the man named Chen Yi who has floated up from the crater and was "standing" at the same altitude as them.
"O Chen Yi, There are over four hundreds of us here surrounding you. Just give up and hand us the Winter Spring Butterfly and we'll spare your life." A senior Immortal said with a relax attitude, but his eyes were cautious and firm as intended to do whatever it to seize that treasure from the man, his cultivation rank nine.
Once this Immortal finished talking, the surrounding turned dead silent as if there's nobody here.
Nobody talked nor moved for a while until half the sun has risen to the sky.
An Immortal with dark long hair and a face that looks as if he was frowning all the time finally broke the silent as he said: " Demon, hurry and hand us the Meng, or else you will face a horrifying end."
The man named Chen Yi still said nothing as he stood there and looked ahead, unmoving.
"Fine, you seems to think I can only bark and no bite. I'll shows you what it looks like to die by my hands." The frowning Immortal said so as he snapped his fingers.
In the distance quite far away, Meng Hua and his two daughters that was observing the situation and slowly retreating suddenly have their body lit up in dark purple flame. The flame continued to burn their skin as they cried in agony, then it burned their muscles, internal organs and bones until nothing was left of the three people.
Over a hundreds of Immortals closed their eyes and sighed or shook their head, some even did both. The reason was that all the Immortals present noticed the three father and daughters long ago with their investigation methods and senses, including Chen Yi.
But they decided to not acted, as they felt the three people were insignificant and did not posed any threats to them.
Despite the death of the rank five father and daughters, the man named Chen Yi did not even showed an ounce of fear, he was standing just as still as he always has done with serious and determined look on his face.
Time continue to pass, the Immortals all stood there from dawn to morning, morning to noon, noon to to early evening when the sun started to set, painting the sky purple orange.
From start to finish, nobody has made a move or took action to seize the treasure from Chen Yi at all as they were afraid he might make a last resort counterattack.
There are some junior Immortals who were arrogant and want to prove themselves, but were told off by their leaders from respective sects to stay put and shut their mouths.
*sigh*
"!!!"
"!!!?"
After staying still for almost a day, Chen Yi finally heaved a sigh. This caused many Immortals who were on edges to be on high alert.
Chen Yi next actions surprised many people as it's not an attempt to breakthrough, nor a final attack like they have expected.
Instead, he stretched out his hand and open his palm. What's inside was a silver butterfly with a shiny wings that flashed with warm golden light, the butterfly itself gave off beautiful white silver hue that captivated all Immortals present.
Many people had a smile on their face as they thought their campaign was finally coming to an end.
But they did not make any move to come closer to the silver butterfly. Instead, they had their guards up and stayed vigilant for any unexpected movement from Chen Yi.
Chen Yi still stood there as he has been, looking at the settings sun in front of him before sighing once more and said: "Life in this world was full of hardship, all my hard works have turned into smoke. Drifting away with the winds and rains, my life goes wherever heaven takes me."
"I was once confused and lost, for hundreds of years til I'm exhausted. Today I lose, tomorrow I claim victory. But when all was said and done, everything is just empty..."
Chen Yi sighed with emotions before closing his eyes. His life flashed before his eyes, so many meetings, so many goodbyes.
His life was full of mishaps and tragedies, yet there are also happy memories hidden deep within.
'Although life was tough and full of hardship, still, I have no regret.' With this thought, Chen Yi couldn't help himself but let out a chuckle.
When he opened his eyes, there was no trace of sadness and emotions left. They were instead filled with fierce resolution and determination, crazed madness hidden deep within them.
"Demon, what is there to laugh about in this situation?"
"Something is ups, quick, seize the Winter Spring Butterfly!"
"Surrender the Winter Spring Butterfly to us!"
BOOM!
In that moment, Chen Yi's whole body lit up in blinding white light as he was surging with energy and power, then, he exploded.
Strangely enough, the explosion dealt next to no damage to the surrounding. Aside from the absence of Chen Yi, nothing seems to have changed at all.
"We were too late..."
"If the Winter Spring Butterfly really works like the legends say, then that demon will definitely come back and wreck havocs once more..." The rank nine Immortal muttered to himself. This outcome was beyond his expectation.
"We're all f*cked..."
* * * *
In a dark room on Feng Yu mountain, a pair of eyes were glowing brightly in the middle of the night.
In that room was a young boy sitting on a bed looking at his hands and feet, surprised.
"To think it actually worked. Feng Yu mountain... Shen clan... I really travelled back in time to a thousand years ago... He... Hehe... Hehehe... Hahaha.... HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!"
With a crazed laughter and excitement, the young boy ran his way to a window and took in a breeze of fresh air of rain in storm, droplets of water fell upon him.
"In this life, I will live according to my true self and do as please, whatever it is, wherever it will be, whatever my heart desires."
The young boy closed his eyes and breathed deep in fresh air of the night after storm, before opening them again. His eyes were bright and shiny like shooting stars in the night sky, and with a big smile he said: "I will not hold back this time."
