Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 547: He Started It First
She knew this bastard all too well. When it came to certain things, he was all talk, actually quite a coward at heart.
But why? She had clearly been so brave.
Chen Shixian grew more aggrieved the more she thought about it, and a sky full of sword light slashed towards Chen Pingping.
"Hey, hey, hey, what’s the matter with you?" Chen Pingping exclaimed. "Put your sword away first."
"I’m going to kill you."
Of course, she was just saying it.
The Sword Dao she unleashed seemed mighty, but in reality, it held no power.
After a long while, she finally calmed the anger and grievance in her heart and became tranquil again. She let the breeze play with her long hair, her eyes fixed on the distant mountains and trees.
She was tired. After being busy for decades, it was time to live for herself.
"You look like a real fairy when you’re not trying to chop people," Chen Pingping chimed in, his lips moving, wanting to get closer, yet not daring to...
He couldn’t figure out what kind of creatures women were.
After a brief thought, he shook his head, casting aside those nonsensical thoughts. After all, this is a parting moment, he reasoned. It’s better to appear somewhat sentimental.
"I rarely chop people," she pursed her lips, her tone light but carrying an indescribable aloof pride.
She wondered, if it weren’t for certain people pretending to be fools, would she ever need to draw her sword against others?
As she reflected, her heart found peace.
Let it be!
Without waiting for Chen Pingping to speak, she added, "If you think I’m going to wait for you in the Ancient City, dream on!" With that, she took a few steps and left the Wind Cloud List.
Chen Pingping watched her leave with a complex expression, sighing heavily and muttering, It’s such a pity, a real pity. I’ve been too honest, and thus, I’ve missed one great opportunity after another.
My fault, my fault.
He remained calm for a long time before he finally headed in Yue Wuxia’s direction.
「At this moment.」
Outside the Wind Cloud List, carnage suddenly erupted.
Qin Meng, the Demon Emperor’s Son, took several steps forward, reviving his Emperor Son bloodline, and his overwhelming demonic power flooded down like a torrent.
His target was Zi Ji.
There were two reasons to kill her.
First, she had provoked Qin Meng.
Second, she possessed the Tree of Great Dao.
What a treasure!
With a cold expression, Qin Meng attacked decisively. His assault was so fierce that he aimed to slay Zi Ji in a single strike and seize the Tree of Great Dao within her.
The others hardly had time to react before screams rang out—disaster had already struck.
Liu Changqing lifted his head. "He’s courting death."
He remembered the scenes in Central Continent: the Bai Family, Chong Tower...
Anyone who dared to make a move on Zi Ji had long ago turned to dust.
Cang Yun was baffled. Courting death?
BANG!
Zi Ji summoned the Yuan World, opening a crack that devoured all of Qin Meng’s attacks. Then, she walked towards Qin Meng.
The latter was shocked.
What was that? He couldn’t sense it at all. A Divine Weapon? Or a miniature world?
Soon after, powerful currents of energy transformed into sword light, slashing down one after another.
Everyone was visibly shocked.
Countless sword lights rained down on Qin Meng, leaving him no room to evade, completely locking onto him.
Most importantly, they were almost invisible to the naked eye, whether due to their extreme speed or the peculiarity of this cultivation method.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of strikes landed, burying Qin Meng deep in the soil. His face was pale, his body convulsing, as he looked at Zi Ji in disbelief.
She was too powerful! The combat strength she displayed was on a completely different level from what had been seen at Spirit Mountain. It seemed that in just these few days, she had broken through again, her fighting prowess improving by several tiers.
CRACK!
His body fractured, and demonic red blood flowed out.
Qin Meng roared angrily, his wild hair disheveled, the power bursting forth from within his body growing more ferocious.
He was resisting arduously.
Nevertheless, Zi Ji was too powerful; a casual move from her was enough to easily suppress him.
"You’re seeking death..." The Demon Race powerhouse following Qin Meng finally reacted, striking out at once.
However, before he even got close, a beam of light shot out from a finger, piercing through his body and sending him flying sideways.
The cultivators were stunned. Who? Who attacked? And from that direction...
Below the Wind Cloud List, ripples undulated, and sparkles scattered as two figures emerged.
The one who acted was naturally Chen Pingping, but he would never admit it.
It’s better to keep a low profile, he thought, to avoid displaying an overly frightening talent and alarming those Big Shots.
"Senior Brother!" Zi Ji saw him and smiled happily. Disregarding Qin Meng, she hopped over to him.
Huh? Chen Pingping scowled.
Zi Ji added, "Someone bullied me." She pointed towards the deep pit.
The crowd: "..."
Not far away, Lao Huang rolled his eyes.
Cang Yun was stupefied. What did I just see?
What shocked him was not Zi Ji suppressing Qin Meng, but that Chen Pingping had just slain that powerful Demon Race expert with a single finger attack.
He was certain it was Chen Pingping who had acted. Not only that, but the attack had come from within the Wind Cloud List! This... this is too outrageous, isn’t it?
Cang Yun turned to Liu Changqing. "Did you see that?"
Liu Changqing was calm. "Brother Cang Yun, I saw it."
"He... he killed that Demon Race powerhouse just like that," Cang Yun said, taking a deep breath.
"Yes!"
"Aren’t you shocked?"
"One gets used to it," Liu Changqing said, curling his lips as he thought back to the Chen Pingping of old.
Really, one does get used to it. He just hadn’t expected Chen Pingping’s combat prowess to have reached such a level already. And Princess Zi Ji, suppressing Qin Meng with a mere wave of her hand. Monsters. Damn it, they’re all monsters!
Alan stood by with an impassive face.
Of course, most cultivators were filled with doubt. Since the attack had come from within the Wind Cloud List, was it really Chen Pingping who had acted? Nobody knew for sure.
"Who are you?" Zi Ji asked, turning toward Yue Wuxia.
"Be a good little sister, I’m your Senior Brother’s friend," Yue Wuxia said with a smile.
She hadn’t seen Chen Pingping take action.
But when she emerged from the Wind Cloud List, she saw Zi Ji standing beside a deep pit, where Qin Meng lay covered in blood.
Yue Wuxia was inwardly shocked.
Then Zi Ji ran towards Chen Pingping and called out, "Senior Brother."
Only then did Yue Wuxia realize that this little girl, who had suppressed Qin Meng, was actually Pingping’s junior sister!
Zi Ji was astonished. "I’m not a little sister."
Yue Wuxia asked, "How old are you?"
Zi Ji shook her head. "I don’t know. Probably... quite old."
"Probably?"
"Mhm, probably..."
"This?"
"Mhm!"
As the two young women chatted, they soon found themselves at a loss for words with each other.
One was candid yet lacking in wits, the other cunning but bereft of intelligence...
This was their first meeting, and they both felt a sense of affinity, although they weren’t good at making conversation.
This girl is so powerful, she can even suppress Qin Meng, Yue Wuxia thought. How wonderful it would be if I could bring her back to Monster Emperor City!
Meanwhile, Zi Ji was wondering if her Senior Brother was planning to trick her into joining the Wuji Sect.
"My name is Yue Wuxia..." she said cheerily.
"I’m Zi Ji."
"Let’s be friends!" Yue Wuxia proposed.
"Sure!"
"So, as good friends, could you tell me if that guy was beaten by you into this state?" Yue Wuxia pointed at Qin Meng.
Zi Ji thought about it and then nodded. "He started it first."
So it really was her... Yue Wuxia gasped, then said excitedly, "Since we’re now good friends, could I make a request?"
Zi Ji was taken aback. "What request?"
Yue Wuxia’s eyes glittered. "Kill him! How about it?"
Chen Pingping was flabbergasted. Seriously?
The crowd was equally stunned. Kill him? Just like that?
