The Villain Has Something To Say Chapter 34

Chapter 34: To Break the Mortal Bond (1)

Once the Cold Jade Heaven Boat slid into the river, it dispersed coldness and bleakness.

The Burning River turned tranquil for a second, and then flooded with fierce surges. The Heaven Level Treasure was glooming with a light blue l.u.s.ter as if it was fighting this golden flame river. They were an even match. The flame around the ship was slowly frozen. The body of the ship reddened on the contrary.

Mo Qiu spoke with seriousness in his voice, “the cardiac blood of this Demon Exalt is indeed very powerful. I fear that the ship will drown in a minute.”

Got the meaning behind his words, Luo Jianqing nodded in agreement, “let’s get to the ship.”

The two was like lightning, leaping into the air. Mo Qiu agilely got to the ship, but Luo Jianqing b.u.mped into some troubles.

While he was ten feet away from the Burning River, the Flame Beasts rushed towards him one after another. Luo Jianqing was prepared for this. He lifted the Floating Frost Sword and killed every beast he encountered.

The cultivation of Nascent Soul Period plus the weakest quarter of the Burning River!

Luo Jianqing treated these beasts like weeds in the garden until he met the golden fire dragon when he was three feet away from the river.

Once the dragon saw Luo Jianqing, he blasted a roaring laugh, “it’s you again! Come on, let’s end this…huh!”

Luo Jianqing lifted his sword calmly. The Cyan Lotus Nine-swords Deployment cut the now-weakened sixth level fire dragon in half.

“It’s…it’s not possible…”

Luo Jianqing ignored this arrogant fire dragon, he pushed forward one more foot and met a grumpy golden Kylin, who said,

“I have no time for nasty human like you. p.i.s.s off.”

Time was running out. Luo Jianqing didn’t care about the despise and disrespect in the Kylin’s words. He moved on. Just before he reached the Clod Jade Heaven Boat, he saw a golden silhouette emerged. Holding a gigantic axe in his hand, a strong muscular man was staring him furiously.

Luo Jianqing’s pupil shrank.

A high-level Demon Exalt!

Feeling the wind created by the beast’s coming axe, Luo Jianqing quickly preceded the Hand Knack in preparation of his final attack. However, seeing the cinnabar mole between Luo Jianqing’s eyebrows gleaming a scarlet light, the beast hesitated, then dispersed in the air and turned back into flame.

It happened in a sudden. Luo Jianqing didn’t quite know what just happened. Nonetheless, there was no time for him to figure it out. Mo Qiu kept shouting “hurry up! There’s not much time left”, so Luo Jianqing quickened his steps and got to the ship. The Cold Jade Heaven Boat speeded up, headed towards the exit.

There were only two spots which looked like the exit.

One was the entrance of the Burning River. The other was the exit of it.

Like Mo Qiu said, the Burning River was the cardiac blood of that Heaven Level Demon Exalt. It was creepy to think about what might be at the upstream of the river. The two came into an agreement of heading downstream, but it was the place where the biannual Astral wind originated. There was risk to take this choice. Neither of them knew what’s around the corner.

Cold Jade Heaven Boat was navigating on the Burning River in lightning speed. Suddenly, the light dimmed. They entered the cave.

This cave seemed to stretch on forever. Embraced by complete darkness, the ship kept moving for a day and a night, but they still didn’t get out of the cave.

Luo Jianqing frowned, “Mo Qiu, do you know what’s going on?”

Mo Qiu yawned and spoke with reluctancy, “Luo Jianqing, you are really treating me as if I am an encyclopedia.”

They moved on. The temperature was decreasing from burning to human’s body temperature. Luo Jianqing realized that they already got used to the heat in the Valley of the Flame River where the temperature was high enough to burn a cultivation period disciple. What they were feeling now was the actual normal temperature.

The ship went forward. The temperature was getting lower and lower.

The river started to freeze when the temperature became subzero. Without any hesitation, Luo Jianqing used the Qi of the Sword to break the ice, while Mo Qiu continued to steer the ship. They made a great team, but the temperature kept decreasing. After the whole river was frozen, Luo Jianqing turned his head to look at Mo Qiu and found his friend was doing the same.

They nodded in agreement. Mo Qiu collected the Cold Jade Heaven Boat. They marched on by feet.

In an unfamiliar dark place like this, flying was the worst choice. It was true that the Gold Core cultivators were well-managed of the flying skill, but this also made them into a moving target. With faster speed, they were less sensible to the danger around them.

Well aware of these details, Luo Jianqing had been a runagate for years, but he was surprised that Mo Qiu was also careful and experienced.

Mo Qiu sneered, as if he heard the voice in Luo Jianqing’s mind, “The number of people who want to kill me was more than the people you ever knew”.

They walked along with each other, doing the best they can.

Seemingly, danger was far behind them, despite the frozen river. Little by little, Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu relaxed and let go of their vigilance. After ten miles of walking, Mo Qiu made a banter, “this cave is really deep. We haven’t reached the end for days. I wonder how long it is.”

Luo Jianqing smiled, “As long as there is no danger awaits us.”

Right when he finished the sentence, Luo Jianqing felt a breeze pa.s.sing him. He suddenly stopped, asked Mo Qiu, “Did you feel the wind?”

Mo Qiu stood and looked around vigilantly, “No, I didn’t”.

They guarded up again. After Luo Jianqing walked on for a hundred meters, the wind blew his black hair, lightly touching his cheek. Eyes wide open, Luo Jianqing was shocked, “There’s wind!”

A cyan sword light flew towards the origin of the wind.

The sword light seemed like swallowed by the darkness, made no sound, no hit, no anything.

Dangers in the dark were always more difficult to deal with than that in the open light. Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu had no fear in their hearts, instead, they sped on. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, from breeze to storm, then from storm to whirlwind!

When the fierce Astral wind came in, Luo Jianqing lifted his sword while Mo Qiu wielded his whip.

They were able to fight with it in the beginning, but when they moved forward, the Astral wind was even stronger. After ten miles marching in the wind, the Astral wind stabbed Luo Jianqing’s shoulder. He moaned with blood oozing out of his mouth.

Mo Qiu was worried about him, “Be careful!”

Luo Jianqing took out a Xuan Level defense instrument from the Interspatial Ring and put it on. The instrument was cut into powders by the Astral wind, but it did keep out some attacks.

Mo Qiu said, “Hurry up! Let’s get out of this place!”

Luo Jianqing nodded.

With no hesitation, they pulled out their best instruments to fight against this fearful Astral wind and moved forward. One mile, two miles, three miles…… when they finally saw the light, Luo Jianqing got four or five wounds on his body; Mo Qiu was no better than him.

The Astral wind was as strong as a Out-of-Body Level cultivator’s most powerful attack. The instruments in Luo Jianqing’s Interspatial Ring were almost all broken. Mo Qiu stopped to pull out instruments. They flew to the exit, against the violent wind.

A thousand meters, a hundred meters, ten meters……

Three meters!

At this moment, a frightening Astral wind rushed towards them from their back. Wanted to get out of the cave as quick as possible, Luo Jianqing speeded up, but the wind reached his clothes. The breath of the wind was strong enough to strip a slice of bleeding flesh from Luo Jianqing’s back. He spat out blood.

Bang!

Luo Jianqing was kicked out of the cave.
