Chapter 54 - The Moral Heart
Seeing that the two sixth level Qi Condensation clansmen were about to escape, Bai Xiaochun formed a hand seal, then a small wodden sword wooshed out and immediatly swept by the nearest sixth level Qi Condensation clansman’s neck.
Before his death, an unprecedented horror filled the eyes of the sixth level Qi Condensation clansman.
They were supposed to be the hunters, but now… the tables had turned, they were the ones being hunted!
In a few short moments, Bai Xiaochun had already killed four people!
The face of the remaining sixth level Qi Condensation clansman, who had previously joined hands in attacking Bai Xiaochun, immediately paled as he used all of his strength to retreat. His heart was racing and his whole body was trembling. He couldn’t believe that the small and innocent-looking Spirit River Sect disciple before his eyes was actually…… so horrifying.
Bai Xiaochun’s eyes shone with ferocity. Just when he was about to give chase, an intense sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart.
Simultaneously, Du Lingfei’s panicked voice arrived as well.
“Be careful!”
Bai Xiaochun’s body immediately shot back, and in that moment, a ten zhang large purple coloured skull suddenly appeared exactly at the point where he was moments ago and self-destructed.
A loud explosion resounded and the resulting shockwave made Bai Xiaochun’s whole body quiver. This was the first time he had felt pain through his Impenetrable Skin. Blood oozed out from the corner of his lips as he retreated.
The attacker was Chen Yue who was at the eighth level of Qi Condensation.
He had a ghastly look on his face and his eyes shone omniously. After saving his fellow clansman, his body disappeared in a flash as he dashed straight towards Bai Xiaochun. Behind him, the remaining two sixth level Qi Condensation clansmen viciously clenched their teeth and followed closely.
The three dashed towards Bai Xiaochun.
Hou Yunfei struggled to help but he was already too weak. The previous life-threatening battle had used up the last of his Qi. Fresh blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth, he was no longer capable of fighting.
Du Lingfei was also severely injured. She anxiously looked at Bai Xiaochun, all of her previous hostility and prejudice for Bai Xiaochun had long since disappeared.
Bai Xiaochun’s face paled and fresh blood spilt from his mouth again. His body swayed considerably and his speed rapidly decreased. Seeing this, the Chen Yue trio chased and attacked him again.
But when the trio neared Bai Xiaochun, his eyes suddenly glinted fiercely. Although the Impenetrable Iron Skin’s defence was unable to completely block Chen Yue’s previous magical assault, more than half was still mitigated. He intentionally feigned weakness, to the point where there was even blood on the corner of his mouth.
His speed suddenly surged. He didn’t retreat, but used his sudden acceleration to swiftly bypass Chen Yue. His target was…… the duo of sixth level Qi Condensation Chen clansmen.
Chen Yue’s expression flickered and just when he was about to block Bai Xiaochun, a whistling sound appeared near him. Bai Xiaochun’s wooden sword was heading directly at his head. Chen Yue made a hand seal and a skull immediately appeared in front of him. However, even with his quick reaction, he was still unable to stop Bai Xiaochun.
His eyes filled with seriousness. With a flourish of his large sleeve, a lantern suddenly appeared and morphed into a fireball. Followed by a shout, it went straight for Bai Xiaochun.
At the same time, those two sixth level Qi Condensation disciples were struck with horror. They exclaimed loudly and quickly retreated, but Bai Xiaochun’s silhouette was like a lightning, abrupt and inescapable. When his right hand was raised, his thumb and index finger shone with a brilliant black glow and used them to viciously pinch the throat of the Chen clansman in front of him.
Throat Crushing Grasp!
Following a kacha sound, the Chen clansman released a blood-curdling scream as Bai Xiaochun crushed his throat. The fireball close behind Bai Xiaochun exuded its incredible heat. He was unable to dodge in time and a loud bang echoed when the fireball landed directly on his body.
When it exploded, a sea of fire instantly enveloped Bai Xiaochun’s entire body. Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei both cried out in alarm at this sight.
“Bai Xiaochun!!”
The sixth level Qi Condensation clansman not too far away was plesantly surprised. He watched as the flames devoured Bai Xiaochun and burst into laughter.
But at this moment, a silhouette suddenly dashed out from within the sea of flames. Its speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already next to the laughing sixth level Qi Condensation Chen Clansman. That person’s eyes widened and tried to back away. However, Bai Xiaochun’s had already foot landed on his head, and in the next moment, his head was instantly smashed into a blood pulp. Not even a scream was heard as the clansman immediately perished.
Having finished all of this, Bai Xiaochun was out of breath. His eyes were now even redder and his body was now adorned with burn marks. Blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth as he raised his head and shot a death glare at the last Chen clansman…… Chen Yue!
The severity of Bai Xiaochun’s glare made Chen Yue’s hairs stood on end He had cultivated himself to the eighth level of Qi Condensation and was considered as a genius in his clan. Although his treatment was incomparable to patriarch Shao, he still received considerable respect from the elders. His combat strength was impressive, honed from his daily fights with monsters in the Falling Star Mountain Range where he experienced countless of life and death situations.
As for the Spirit River Sect disciples, he held them in contempt. Although the opponents’ status was higher than his, he had always believed that the cultivators in the sect were all like plants grown in a pot. Even though each one of them possessed extraordinary spiritual strength, when faced in a life and death battle, they could not be compared to him.
But now, in Bai Xiaochun’s presence, what he felt was fear. Especially Bai Xiaochun’s current gaze, which was even more frightening than any of the monsters that he had encountered in the Falling Star Mountain Range.
There was savagery contained in that gaze, as if it wanted to swallow him alive. A chilly sensation rose from the bottom of Chen Yue’s heart.
