Chapter 846 - Distorted time and space (1/2)

“He is still alive; he has only lost his consciousness,” King of Swords said.

Su Li nodded in response. “I know.”

The King of Swords said nothing else and promptly turned around and left.

Curisa immediately followed him, but he kept turning around to look back with every few steps he took. As they kept walking further away, Curisa felt a little apprehensive. He turned to the King of Swords, and said, “King, I hope our Holy Lord has not fallen for him again. If she does, her cultivation level will reduce by half. What are we going to do if the Great Archenemy suddenly turns up now, as predicted by Granny Witch?”

The King of Swords suddenly stopped walking—he was stunned by Curisa’s words, and it made him turn around to look at the couple. Then, the King of Swords turned his head back and continued to walk on. He did not answer Curisa’s question.

…

Su Li used her psychokinesis power to remove the four long swords that pinned Xiao Luo down.

Xiao Luo regained consciousness and was free to move again. He looked up at the woman he had longed for, and the fierce aura emanating from his body slowly dissipated. White smoke rose from the surface of his body, giving off sizzling sounds.

Wisps of smoke rose from his entire body like steam rising in a hot bathhouse. When the smoke finally dispersed, Xiao Luo once again returned to his original human form.

The injuries on his body had healed, leaving no scars, but his clothes were torn and tattered and looked like a beggar’s outfit.

Through the power of Dragon Saber in his hands, Xiao Luo had the ability to stabilize his mind and control his body. But he chose not to. He preferred to let the rage in his heart take control of his body, and in doing so, he vented all his anger.

Still lying exhausted on the ground, he looked at Su Li, and a smile slowly formed at one corner of his lips as he said, “You have become a lot prettier. You look like a Goddess from Heaven beyond anyone’s reach.”

“I made them stop you. Why did you not just retreat?” Su Li responded calmly.

Her lack of emotions was like a knife piercing into Xiao Luo’s heart. He already knew that it would be an outcome he had to expect, but he refused to come to terms with reality. She had recovered her memories and achieved a higher cultivation level. As the Lord of Arcana Land, she was in a powerful position and honored by her people. The difference between them was as vast as the distance between Heaven to Earth.

Their past together faded like a puff of smoke and vanished with the wind.

Had all the things that they went through been fake? Was the relationship between them so fragile?

Xiao Luo closed his eyes in pain, and said, “Why should I retreat? I came to Arcana Land and traveled thousands of kilometers to bring you home.”

Somehow, the sentence felt so inadequate and ineffective.

“I am already home.”

Su Li’s words were firm, and she added, “This… This is my home.”

They have gone from being lovers to strangers. It was a cruel way to end their relationship. Filled with despair, Xiao Luo felt an unbearable pain in his chest. It was as if his heart was dying. He did not even care if anyone was manipulating the system anymore. He used up 100,000 points for the system’s healing ability, and instantly his body recovered to its best condition.

“Is that so?”

He stood up, laughing at himself, and replied, “I guess I am just troubling you then.”

He dragged himself up, like he bore a heavy load, then struggled as he turned around. And with each step, he walked further away from Su Li.

Though his body appeared fine, despair made each step he took seem heavy.

“Urrgh!”

A mouthful of blood rushed up to his throat and spurted out of his mouth. Xiao Luo knelt on one knee. His face turned pale, but he stood up and continued walking.

Tears rolled down the corners of Su Li’s eyes as she watched Xiao Luo walk further away from her. She could sense that he felt hurt and depressed. Her deep love for him, which she so casually discarded, seemed to resurface. She placed her hand on her aching chest and turned around to avoid seeing the forlorn figure walk away from her. She was afraid she would fall for him again.

“I am sorry, Xiao Luo!”
