Chapter 48 (1/2)
Chapter 48 – Breakthrough to the Enlightening Stage
Seeing how tragic the Hegemon-Scaled Black Dragon looked, Little Jiang Xue stared at him and asked, “You killed him just like that?”
This was a Fifth Rank powerful demon…
It was a being that could destroy cities and overturn kingdoms!
She felt that this couldn’t be real. Not only her, but even Huang Lianxin had the same feeling.
Only Northern Valiant Sword heaved a sigh of relief.
He admired him in his heart. Sword God Zhou indeed, such decisiveness, totally not afraid of the threat.
The Three-Eyed Drought Rodent went to the little black snake’s side and sniffed, then it took a bite of the head of the snake and was about to eat it…
Zhou Xuanji quickly kicked it away. He then squatted down and looked at the small snake with hesitation.
He felt that this thing was not thoroughly dead yet.
Should he kill him or not?
He looked back at Northern Valiant Sword and asked, “How long does it usually take for a powerful demon to be reborn from nirvana?”
He wanted to ask the snake about the old man in black.
Without clarifying this issue, he really felt suffocated in his heart.
Northern Valiant Sword said, “It would at least take a dozen years. Since cultivation requires training, after all.”
He felt as though his heart skipped a beat. Just when he praised Sword God Zhou, the young master became compassionate towards the snake?
Zhou Xuanji immediately took out a fine rope, then he called the Three-Eyed Drought Rodent over and tied the small snake together with the rodent’s foot.
He then used his spirit energy to extend the snake’s breath.
After a short while…
The snake opened its eyes gradually. It was suffering because its entire body was in pain. It looked at Zhou Xuanji and said, “I…”
“Ptooey!”
Zhou Xuanji spat saliva at it. For its small size, it was as though a tub of water was poured onto its head.
The small snake was furious. The indescribable disgust almost made it faint.
“I am…”
“Ptooey!”
“You… how can you humiliate me like this…”
“Ptooey!”
“Ahhh…”
“Ptooey!”
“…”
The small snake laid in the puddle of saliva and dared not move. It was in total despair.
At this moment, he would rather be dead.
Little Jiang Xue walked over and patted Zhou Xuanji’s shoulder and said, “Can you not be so disgusting?”
Zhou Xuanji grinned and said, “If I don’t teach him a lesson, he will really think that he’s some heavenly king who cannot be touched.”
Northern Valiant Sword and Huang Lianxin walked over too. Seeing how he humiliated the small snake, they were speechless.
“Why did you decide to let it live?”
Little Jiang Xue asked curiously. Previously, although Zhou Xuanji was ruthless in stomping on it, the snake was also very fortunate to survive the stomp.
Zhou Xuanji replied, “I want to ask it about that day. You don’t want us to be followed by some mysterious enemy either right?”
The three nodded. They thought about the decapitated head of the old man and shivered in fear.
After that, Zhou Xuanji threw the small snake into the river. Its tail was tied together with the rodent’s foot. As long as the rodent was not thrown into the river, it would not sink.
After resting for two days, they continued their journey.
The small snake’s injuries recovered gradually. But regarding the old man in black, he refused to talk, so Zhou Xuanji decided to starve it for some time.
After five days…
They returned to the Green River Village.
It was still isolated from the world. The villagers enjoyed their everyday living, and the place was peaceful.
As Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue returned, the villagers were very hospitable. They all remembered them.
That year after Shen Hua died, the Fang Clan did not investigate further. The villagers did not spread the news about it either. It was apparent how insignificant Shen Hua was.
Little Jiang Xue felt a little sad when she knew that after she left, her grandma would not return at all.
Zhou Xuanji, on the other hand, decided to stay in Green River Village for a year, and then they would leave for the Great Zhou Empire.
There were no objections.
