Chapter 695 - Thousands of Souls (2/2)

BAM!

Xiao Luo smashed into the ground like a meteorite and another enormous pit was gouged into the wetland park once again. The diameter of the pit this time was about twenty meters, and everything from trees, the lawn, and street lamps were pulverized. Dust hung in the air, covering the entire area, and no one could see what was going on.

Curisa landed sure-footedly on the fringe of the pit and looked in with his pair of purple eyes.

“Xiao Luo!”

Su Li’s eyes turned red as tears formed. She realized that there was nothing she could do, and a sense of helplessness caused her to lose control of her emotions.

Once the dust settled, she saw Xiao Luo, and the shirt on his back was ripped apart. He kneeled in the center of the pit with blood dripping from his mouth and nose. His body was coated with a thick layer of dirt.

Curisa scratched the back of his head and had a guilty look on his face. “Seems like I might have been a little too harsh,” he said.

Xiao Luo lifted his head and glared at this man with the purple eyes.

Xiao Luo possessed the Yi Jinjing, Nether Claw, Gone with the Snow, and Peerless Body Protection techniques he redeemed from the system. These were the most powerful techniques that the system offered, and the combination of these skills made was potent. Yet, Xiao Luo still did not have what it took to even scratch Curisa. The system was not as invincible when used against these strange beings.

Curisa waved his hands and said, “Alright, there is no point in continuing this any further. I’m afraid that I might accidentally end up killing you. Our highness has already told us what your name is—Xiao Luo, right? Not bad, to think that you could cultivate your powers to such a level in this filthy land. You have done very well!”

After saying that, he turned around and walked toward Su Li.

There was no way Xiao Luo was going to sit there and watch them take his woman away. Taking a deep breath, he dug his feet into the ground, lowered his posture like a hungry wolf, and dashed forward. As he charged toward Curisa in the dim light, his nether claws resembled the fangs of a snarling wolf.

A sneak attack was the only way, for Curisa never expected Xiao Luo to still have the will to fight. Xiao Luo slashed hard and left five deep cuts on Curisa’s back. Instantly, the wound seared with burning pain.

The nether claw could rip ordinary people apart, but it only left a superficial wound on Curisa’s body. It was a tremendous shock to Xiao Luo.

“Are you courting death, mortal?”

Curisa turned around and glared at Xiao Luo and his purple eyes emitted a murderous aura. He didn’t mind when Xiao Luo was disrespectful, but he was attacked from behind when he least expected it. But what he could not accept was that a mere mortal had wounded him, and he felt ashamed, for it was like a slap in the face.

He rotated his right palm, and a strange glow formed in his palm.

Not good!

Xiao Luo broke into a cold sweat as he sensed the impending danger and immediately took steps to avoid being hit.

Xiao Luo knew he could not evade the inevitable blow and braced himself for it. But he was a step too slow, and Curisa’s palm smashed into his chest like a bolt of lightning.

Xiao Luo had tried to raise his hands out to parry, but before he could even move a muscle, Curisa’s palm has already struck his chest.

A blast of energy surged throughout the entire wetland park, like the violent waves of a raging Yangtze River swollen by a heavy torrential downpour.

“Cough, cough…”

Xiao Luo sailed back about seven to eight feet in the air and spat out fresh blood as he landed hard on the ground. He felt like his internal organs had ruptured and he kept coughing out blood.He immediately used up a hundred thousand points from the system to heal up his internal injuries, but it required time.WHOOSH!Xiao Luo heard something moving rapidly through the air, and as soon as he lifted his head, he realized that Curisa had teleported right in front of him. Curisa glared down at him with those purple eyes.”You are a mere mortal and you can be proud of how you fought. That you injured me today gives you bragging rights for the rest of your life. But try as you might, your powers are nowhere near mine, and compared to me, you’re nothing but an ant. All I have to do is step on you and you will be squashed to death!” Curisa lifted his leg and placed his foot on Xiao Luo’s chest lightly.”Let my woman go, if you’re a man, then take me instead!” Xiao Luo grunted with some effort and gritted his blood-stained teeth.”Your woman?”Curisa began laughing like he had heard a joke, and said, “She’s the holy lady of our Light Clan. She has only been sent temporarily to live in this filthy world. Once this period is over, she will naturally return home to her clan who awaits her. Do you think you deserve to be with our holy lady? Do not overestimate yourself!” Curisa glanced at Su Li, and her eyes were red with tears. He then turned back to Xiao Luo and said, “Once she has regained her memories, she’ll be ruling over a secret realm in a higher dimension inaccessible to mere mortals like you. She will rule over thousands of souls!”
