Chapter 721 - Revert to one’s original self (2/2)
This was an unstoppable force that made those who felt it tremble. Gu Qianxue and Gu Qianlin could not handle it and almost fell into a swoon, and even Elder Long and the other two elders were equally shocked. This little brat had truly become stronger. Was it possible that the people from the Xiao clan could continuously increase their powers without limit?
Not long after, the immense pressure dissipated like a retreating tide.
The blood-red fireball morphed into a figure who slowly strode toward them. The fire gradually died as he advanced, and after taking five steps, the fire extinguished completely. And there stood Xiao Luo.
His white hair was billowing like rising smoke, although there was no wind. His eyebrows were long, his body was like the trunk of a tree, his skin was white as a sheet and was as smooth as porcelain around his neck.
His unclothed upper body was rippling with well-defined muscles, and he was wearing black underpants on the lower half of his body. He emanated a mystical aura that evoked fears typically caused by an energy that was innately evil, yet it felt refined, eminent, and gentle. His pupils were blood-red, but at that moment, it showed no signs of aggression.
Aloof and arrogant, he stood alone and feared nothing—he was emanating a divine aura.
Gu Qianlin was in a stupor, for she was looking at the world’s most handsome man. No one else could compete with him, and somehow she was in awe with this elegant version of Xiao Luo.
Gu Qianxue was dumbfounded, but in the next moment, emotion overcame her, and started crying. Xiao Luo had come back, and he was no longer the ferocious, white-colored monster. She was elated to see him again.
Xiao Luo advanced a few more steps. His natural eye color and black hair had now returned and replaced his white hair and red eyes. The tremendous energy that emitted from his body earlier stopped and his demeanor was like that of an ordinary human being.
What was going on?
Had he finally broken through his limit and reached new heights?
Elder Long, Tianshan Elder, and Xiao Quanren looked at one another. They couldn’t believe that Xiao Luo had reverted into a normal human being. They didn’t know the extent of Xiao Luo’s powers, and there were only two possibilities—either Xiao Luo had reached a realm that was above them, or he had reverted to his original form.
Xiao Luo was by then already standing right in front of them. Without waiting for them to say a word, he went down on one knee and gave the three of them a respectful bow. He expressed his genuine appreciation for their efforts, and said, “To the two seniors, and old grandfather, thank you for increasing my powers!”
“Luo, have you regained your senses?” Xiao Quanren asked eagerly.
Xiao Luo smiled as he nodded his head and said, “Yes, I have. I was fighting against a terrifying force that was within me, but thanks to you, I completely suppressed it. And it is the reason I could exceed my limits, regain my senses, and be in full control of my body.”
“Xiao Luo!”
Gu Qianxue ran up toward Xiao Luo without a care in the world and hugged him.
“Everything is now fine, you don’t have to worry anymore,” Xiao Luo said as he patted her on the back softly and comforted her.
“Stinky little brat, who would have thought that you’d make it? How do you feel right now?”
Tianshan Elder looked at Xiao Luo in disbelief. And she was wrong about him, for Xiao Luo was not the prophesied demon who was going to destroy the world. While the form of the white-colored monster he took on earlier was that of a demon, Xiao Luo had now regained his sanity and he no longer looked evil.
“I think I’m alright.”
Xiao Luo showed no emotions, and he displayed innate confidence in himself.
“Junior Sister, where is our master’s Dragon Blade?” Elder Long suddenly asked.
Tianshan Elder glanced at him and said, “Why are you asking that for?”
“It’s for Xiao Luo to try it, of course! Even the heavens cannot wield that Dragon Blade, so why not let Xiao Luo try it and see if he can control it? If he can, then give it to him. Besides, the blade is filled with master’s spirit of justice, and it will aid those who seek to do right.”
Elder Long slapped his thighs, recalling the power that Xiao Luo displayed when he lost control earlier on. “Oh, my God, this blade is destined for Xiao Luo!” he exclaimed.
