Chapter 186 (1/2)

It became a one sided massacre!

Stab. Stab. As if she did not know how to feel tired, she continuously impaled the blue haired man on the ground. The hatred that had long been accumulating in her heart was finally exploding.

After a long time, she finally heard urgent voices.

“Aoshuang!”

“Miss!”

A pair gentle hands grabbed Qi Aoshuang’s wrists, stopping her out of control actions.

Qi Aoshuang turned around abruptly and met with Feng Yixuan’s pained eyes.

“Enough, Aoshuang. It’s over.” Leng Lingyun’s voice carried to Qi Aoshuang’s ear.

The red aura around Qi Aoshuang slowly faded away. Her gaze also regained focus. Without giving the mangled body another glance, Qi Aoshuang turned around and left.

Feng Yixuan stood in place, watching Qi Aoshuang’s leaving figure. He shared a glance with Leng Lingyun. The both silently agreed not to follow. Currently, Qi Aoshuang needed some time alone.

Everything was in messy. All of them had been killed. After searching through the bodies, they found a small badge that Qi Aoshuang had seen before. It was white with a black bolt of lightning, the emblem of the Black Lightning organization.

They left the stone forest without a word. Qi Aoshuang led in silence, dragging the sword behind her. Everyone else was also silent as they followed her.

“Chirp chirp…” White Emperor called out worriedly from Leng Lingyun’s shoulder. (Translation: Is Aoshuang ok?)

“Peep peep!” Black Feather called out from Feng Yixuan’s shoulder. He waved his claws at White Emperor. (Translation: The hell you worried about? Why would she not be ok?)

Xi Shaoqi led two camels, following gloomily. And so, Qi Aoshuang walked expressionlessly, the Azure Ripple blade leaving a long mark on the ground. The blood had already dried on the blade. No one stopped her, choosing to find her silently.

Night slowly descended. Qi Aoshuang finally stopped. She stabbed the sword into the ground and then sat down. Everyone else shared a glance, then all silently walked over. Xi Shaoqi and Xi Shaosi started to set up camp. Feng Yixuan and Leng Lingyun started a bonfire to prepare their dinner.

“I am seeking the earth spirits and dwarves in order to find something the races own.” Qi Aoshuang slowly became to explain.

Everyone froze and stopped what they were doing. Qi Aoshuang had never explained why they were looking for them.

“I want to assemble the God Feather Heaven Slayer.” Qi Aoshuang spoke softly. Currently, Qi Aoshuang had calmed down. When she saw everyone working diligently, she had felt a sliver of warmth in her heart.

“What is that?” Xi Shaoqi frowned, not understanding.

No one else spoke. They all knew that now Qi Aoshuang had spoken this much, she would tell them what it was and why she was looking for it.”

“The God Feather Heaven Slayer is a matching set of god slaying relics. The Heaven Slayer is a pike, the God Feather a shield.” Qi Aoshuang spoke softly, but her words were like a stone thrown into a peaceful pond, causing ripples and stirrings in their hearts.

Crunch! Xi Shaoqi pinched what he was holding into pieces. Everyone stopped what they were doing, silently watching Qi Aoshuang.

“These relics have been split among the many races. The dwarves and earth spirits have a part, the beastmen and dragons too. Only when they are all assembled can they display boundless might. It can kill the goddess of Light.” Qi Aoshuang looked at her Azure Ripple blade. This weapon was only a sub-relic, incapable of killing the goddess of Light, however the God Feather Heaven Slayer was created by the Father god. Naturally, its power goes without saying.

Everyone had a look of shock.

Before they could start asking her questions, Qi Aoshuang continued on quietly, “The god of Darkness told me.” After she said this, everyone had different expressions.

“Even if humanity’s power surpasses them, they have a Godhead*. Even if we kill the goddess of Light, she can rely on her Godhead to rebirth another body. However, this artifact cann shatter her Godhead so that she can never be reborn,” Qi Aoshuang said icily.

*Throwback to prologue: a godhead is a personality/trait/nature/stone that appears when you cultivate enough and enables you to become an immortal/god

“We are closest to the dwarves currently, so are we visiting them first?” Xi Shaoqi asked.

“No, we are closest to the merfolk.” Qi Aoshuang shook her head. “We shall visit the merfolk first.”

“Ah? Then…” Xi Shaoqi started to say before suddenly remembering something and shutting up. There could only be one reason why Qi Aoshuang had not sent the Temple of Darkness to find the merfolk: she already knew where they were.

“Miss, the merfolk should treat that item like a treasure.” Xi Shaosi stroked his chin thoughtfully.
