With their minds filled with lust, Di Ran and Di Ye readied themselves to feast on the beauty of the Sacred Maiden Su Wei'er.
Unbeknownst to them, outside the gaols stood a man whose anger could melt even rocks into molten lava. The Flaming Qilin boiled with rage when he heard their plan to defile his sweetheart and he stormed in before anyone could stop him. He rushed inside with Di Danqing still in his clutches, and he tossed him like a javelin.
The Flaming Qilin's sudden entry into the gaols caught the brothers off-guard, more so, when they saw a man hurtling through the air towards them. In unison, they channeled their powers and each fired a powerful blast of energy.
Bang!
The blasts caught Di Danqing squarely, eliciting a huge fountain of blood and shredded sinews.
Even so, Di Danqing managed to survive. Such was the extraordinary endurance of Immortal-level champions, although that did little to quell the
Chu Xun managed a weak smile. The Flaming Qilin was staring at him so angrily as if the Sacred Beast wanted to perforate holes on him for stealing his sweetheart.In fact, the Flaming Qilin would have attacked if not for the fact that he was no match to Chu Xun."Urm… Your Eminence, shouldn't you explain? There's a certain someone here furious enough to kill me," said Chu Xun, who was not happy about being misunderstood."Explain what?" asked a puzzled Su Wei'er.Chu Xun was too speechless to say anything.If anything, Su Wei'er's response only seemed to infuriate the Flaming Qilin further."Just explain how did I help you," Chu Xun muttered hastily, afraid that the Qilin might hurl a ball of fire at him."You told me to watch and bide our time by agreeing to Di Yanjing's term. You said you'll handle the rest," explained Su Wei'er.Chu Xun nodded and said to the Flaming Qil
Chu Xun's sudden revelation about Mo Yan's true identity left Gao Mohan and everyone else aghast with astonishment.Mo Yan is the Fifth Fiend Lord?! How is this possible?!Di Yanjing's expression stirred not one bit. He was the one who had conjured this fake Mo Yan using the powers of the Cursed Tree – he knew the truth."How did you find out?" Mo Yan growled with an unfriendly stare."You told me yourself. Or rather, the other you still inside the Divine Tree," said Chu Xun placidly."You entered the spiritual domain of the Divine Tree?!" Mo Yan gasped. He looked hardly pleased at all. Evidently, he did not expect this. "Impossible," he uttered sharply, "If you managed to enter the Tree's spiritual space, I would have known about it!""Then you might not have realized that all two hundred fiends of the horde you summoned are all destroyed too," Chu Xun jabbed even more with a droll, wicked grin.
Di Yanjing aimed a two-meter-long shaft at Su Wei'er with a smug and malicious grin on his face as he drew his bow to its fullest."Go down to the underworld to keep my brother company!"Whoosh! His fingers relaxed and the shaft tore right of out his fingers, screaming through the air like a shooting star streaking across the sky.But aside from being pale with horror, no one could do anything to save her.Swoosh!Chu Xun appeared right beside Su Wei'er all of a sudden. With just a simple swat with his hand, he snapped the arrow shaft into splinters."Careful, Devil! The swine is incredible!" roared the Flaming Qilin.Wow, he's concerned about my wellbeing?! Chu Xun could not quite believe his ears.But the answer came quickly enough; the Qilin screamed again, "Don't die! If you do, so are the rest of us!"Chu Xun snorted with exasperation. I knew
Lying lazily on the soft grass beds, Chu Xun enjoyed his time idling about inside the Divine Tree’s spiritual domain. It really was a very comfortable and soothing respite after what was a gritting and fierce battle.The Spirit of the Divine Tree, now in its female fairy form, hovered in mid-air now far away.“The Elf race owes you a great thanks for averting this crisis,” said the Spirit in a chirping female voice.“I wouldn’t mind a reward for the help I’ve put in,” chuckled Chu Xun.For seconds, the Spirit said nothing as if it really was contemplating a reward. Chu Xun simpered and said, “I was only joking.”The Divine Tree must be a powerful entity of untold age. It might be powerful than even Emperor Ao himself, and for this reason, Chu Xun knew he needed to tread carefully in her – or his – presence.But being a creature of peace and virtue, the Tree could still take a joke or two.
Not to mention others, even Su Wei'er herself blushed with her heart pounding. She thought that Chu Xun had fallen in love with her.Su Wei'er avoided Chu Xun's eyes, but she was thinking wildly."Chu Xun, the Sacred Maiden of our race can marry someone, but many things have to be taken into consideration because of her special identity. Her marriage is not simply a matter of marrying someone but an event with all kinds of things needed to be taken care of. At least, the Queen of Elves must agree." Su Lianyi explained.Chu Xun nodded slightly and then fell silent, thinking, "The Sacred Maiden's marriage turns out to be so complicated."Thinking that Chu Xun was unhappy, Su Lianyi said hurriedly, "Chu Xun, as long as you can rescue the Queen of Elves, she will probably allow you to marry the Sacred Maiden.""Marry the Sacred Maiden to me?" Chu Xun widened his eyes with shock.Gao Mohan and his compan
Chu Xun walked back with the Flaming Qilin.Everyone fixed their eyes on the two of them, especially the Sacred Maiden and Su Lianyi. This was something about the Queen of Elves, so the two ladies were more anxious than anyone else."Has Qilin agreed, Mr. Chu?" Gao Mohan asked the question that everyone else wanted to ask."I've changed my attitude toward Qilin this time. He is willing to give up his life for justice." Chu Xun nodded slightly and sighed."It is just a drop of True Blood from his heart, isn't it? It is precious, but it is certainly not a matter of giving up his life for justice?" Weng Xiong muttered."There's something you guys don't know. Qilin is a magical beast, and his True Blood is priceless. He is still at the stage of development. If he loses a drop of True Blood, his cultivation will decline and he might also have an unnoticeable problem in his cultivation in the future. The most terrible
Inside the Elf Divine Tree's spiritual domain, the Spirit looked at the items Chu Xun was taking out with interest."What is this?" asked the Spirit with child-like curiosity."This? This is a tablet. An electronic gadget that allows its user to perform tasks on, such as watching videos or playing games."Chu Xun had spent all day shopping from a nearby mall, buying virtually every electronic tablet and power bank he could find.Several hundreds of tablet computers–each filled to the gunnels with serial dramas, movies, and off-line games–and ten times the amount of power banks.He could still remember the strange stares that the salespersons at the mall were giving him. A pretty lass, also a salesperson there, had plucked up enough courage to ask him if he was moving to Mars because of the tumult now ravaging Earth, and if he could bring her along with him.Chu Xun could only smile weakly as he reme
A dark abyss of unfathomable depths. Judging from the duration of how long the lizard took to reach its bottom, one could easily expect that the fall was easily precipitous enough to kill even an Immortal-Level lord.That served as a fitting wake-up call for the company to remain constantly vigilant, even the ever-so rambunctious and clumsy Flaming Qilin included.They moved faster down the chain and at the five-thousand-meter mark, Chu Xun felt his feet touching the hard ground.Apparently, a huge boulder protruded out of the cliffs, providing a natural flat landing of sorts.Everyone came down quickly. To be able to feel solid ground beneath their feet again filled them once more with ease.Especially after that little episode earlier with that monster lizard.Strange skeletal trees grew upon the plateau which spanned almost the size of half a football field."Her Grace the Queen is k
