Chapter 17

The heart still hadn’t given up, but there was nothing left to try.

Xie Ao Yu watched the three-tailed scorpion drake leap to kill, staring into those murderous eyes, staring at the sharp claws, he really had no hope.

He thought of his bitter experiences.

Xie Ao Yu’s heart began to race again. Even if he died, he would go down in a blaze of glory and definitely never stop fighting because I am Xie Ao Yu!

His long ten years of dissatisfaction exploded out.

Xie Ao Yu howled, desperately slashing the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword at the three-tailed scorpion drake’s neck, viciously stabbing there, intending toperish together.

“Roar!”

The three-tailed scorpion drake roared, opening its mouth intending to spit out flames.

It was at this critical moment, the previously thrown Xiao Bai suddenly appeared from behind Xie Ao Yu, its pair of pitch black eyes from emitted fiery light.

As if it was a large white fire flashing in front of its eyes.

“Roar…”

The roaring three-tailed scorpion drake seeing the situation had a hint of fear flash across its face, in the air the large body shook violently.

The fear reached down to its soul.

In just this moment of horror, the three-tailed scorpion drake lost its balance, suddenly falling to the ground. By the time he realized it, the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword had already stabbed through its neck, emerging through its head.

“Thump!”

Xie Ao Yu had poured everything into the strike, his entire body fell to the floor as he plopped down on his bottom. Staring at that three-tailed scorpion drake’s disbelieving wide eyes, he didn’t dare to believe what he was seeing.

He had actually killed a Tuifan level spirit beast.
(TN: MC is advanced level, so there’s about a four level difference, not including the sublevels of each level.)

It seemed like a dream.

Xie Ao Yu forcefully pinched his thigh. The pain raced up. Indeed he had to believe that he had really killed a three-tailed scorpion drake.

The white fire in Xiao Bai’s eyes extinguished.

It returned from its fearful appearance, burrowed into Xie Ao Yu’s arms, shivering, letting out a small “Yiya” sound, as if what had happened had nothing to do with him.

After three whole minutes, Xie Ao Yu finally calmed down.

In order to kill the three-headed scorpion drake, he had gone through a lot of difficulty, and had come out lucky. Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn’t have even hit the three-tailed scorpion drake with his lightning holy sword before being sprayed by fire and killed.

But the three-tailed scorpion drake hadn’t done that.

Xie Ao Yu couldn’t understand. He looked at his surroundings but didn’t see anyone else or anything,  making it even stranger. Anyway, the three-tailed scorpion drake’s death didn’t change the way he felt about You Lan Ruo.

The reason for him becoming so desperate was Butterfly Queen You Lan Ruo!

“Why would she do that? Did I do something to her? It was our first time meeting, and yet she sent me to this trap.” Xie Ao Yu said clenching his teeth.

Not only that, knowing his relationship with Bing Wu, that they were childhood friends, You Lan Ruo still wanted to kill him. Could it be that she didn’t care how Bing Wu would react?

But seeing as Bing Wu didn’t know about the existence of the three-tailed scorpion drake, it was most likely that You Lan Ruo didn’t want Bing Wu to know.

What was the purpose?

While Xie Ao Yu was thinking, Xiao Bai glanced at Xie Ao Yu’s chest position, and its eyes began to develop the same light that it had when looking at the three-tailed scorpion drake.

It was like it was guarding Xie Ao Yu.

Xie Ao Yu looked down at the Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame, but didn’t go for it; instead, he went to the cave entrance to feel the breeze. He sat his butt down on the ground, picked up a branch, and wrote the word “Calm” on the ground.

But his heart could not calm down.


You Lan Ruo wasn’t Xie Kun, Xie Zhe’s dad. She was publicly recognized on the continent as potentially in ten years becoming the first Surpassing Level master on the continent.
(TN: 超级 you guys have a better translation? Previous translation didn’t have this in the rankings.)

Logically speaking, there was no way for him to hurt her.

So then why did she try to hurt him.

He couldn’t understand.

He became angrier. Before he had thought she was a graceful beauty but now that image was gone. Those images were totally shattered and were replaced with the feeling of hate.

Shua shua shua.

Xie Ao Yu wrote out another twenty or so “Calm”s before he finally cooled down. He let out a breath of air. Even calmly analyzing the situation didn’t help at all, and he still don’t have an answer.

In reality, he was heavens apart from You Lan Ruo—and maybe even Bing Wu. Perhaps, even if he practiced his whole life, he still wouldn’t have caught up to her.

He turned around to look at the door-opening mechanism.

Even if you beat him to death, Xie Ao Yu refused to believe the three-tailed scorpion drake would be able to get in there by itself. Also, there’s no way that there would be a tuifan level spirit beast in the vicinity of Langya City. Even if there was, even if by a miracle that it coincidentally found this place and accidentally opened the mechanism, how could it have closed the mechanism?

It was clear that the mechanism could only be closed from the outside.

Thus, if Xie Ao Yu wanted to not think that You Lan Ruo wanted to kill him, there was possibilities to explore.

Finally, Xie Ao Yu wrote the word “Patience” on the ground.

Without even speaking of You Lan Ruo’s strength, as long as Bing Wu was with her, Xie Ao Yu would just have to be patient.

Xie Ao Yu took a deep breath, stood up, erased the words on the ground, and then returned to the entrance. Looking at the burning Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame, the corners of Xie Ao Yu’s mouth turned into a sneer, “Ah, You Lan Ruo, You Lan Ruo, you probably never would have even dreamed that I didn’t die.”

He pulled out the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword that was still stuck in the three-tailed scorpion drake’s body.

Covered in fresh blood, the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword seemed even colder and incomparable. The fresh blood trickled down the blade and dripped onto the ground. Eventually the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword returned to its original spotless appearance.

So this was a holy weapon.

Xie Ao Yu placed the three-tailed scorpion drake’s body inside his space ring. Then bringing Xiao Bai, he climbed back down.

They had just reached the last step when the Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame suddenly went “Hong”, becoming a large fire and burning fiercely.

The hot flames began to dance wildly.

The extremely high temperatures made Xie Ao Yu feel unspeakable hotness.

Xie Ao Yu had to retreat. At that hot temperature, even if they weren’t close, Xie Ao Yu guessed that even his clothes would ignite.

How could he handle this?

Xie Ao Yu discovered he had come across a problem.

“I still haven’t thought of everything.” Xie Ao Yu bitterly smiled.

The reason why he had come to get the Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame was because he had gotten the Shadow Demon Spirit Fire prototype; otherwise, he never would have even considered coming here.

After all, he didn’t have the fire attribute.

Xie Ao Yu calmed down, stuck out his left pinky, then slowly crept forward. This was how he had originally obtained the Shadow Demon Spirit Fire.

He slowly drew closer, step by step.

The Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame was still burning fiercely.

As he slowly drew closer, the Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame began to slowly retreat.

This change was a pleasant surprise for Xie Ao Yu. His confidence rose a bit, but he was still careful. After encountering the three-tailed scorpion drake, he had become much more cautious.

As Xie Ao Yu went forward, the Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame went back.

Step by step.

Finally, from Xie Ao Yu’s constant pressure, the Earth Pulmonary Heart Flame returned to the original form that Xie Ao Yu had seen when he first came in, as a much smaller and humbler flame.
“Inhale…”

Xie Ao Yu took a big breath and placed his finger on top of it.
