Chapter 448: On The Verge Of Death! (1/2)
“Ah—-”
Li s.h.i.+nian lurched up in bed, abruptly awake, her eyes dull, and her face looked dazed at everything in front of her, or rather she did not look at anything.
She sat there blankly. It was unknown what she was thinking.
After a long while, she leapt out of bed and ran barefoot towards the outside.
Bang!
Her head knocked into a hard iron plate and her body slammed to the ground with a 'bang'.
She paid no attention to the pain of her head, let alone the blood dripping down from her forehead. She sprang up from the ground and rushed again towards the outside.
“Miss s.h.i.+nian—–”
Li s.h.i.+nian had run right into the guard who was ready to come in to see the situation. The little girl's forehead had knocked right into the chest plate armour. In panic, he supported Li s.h.i.+nian up only to see her dart to the door. The guard finally reacted, shouting: “Miss s.h.i.+nian, Miss s.h.i.+nian, where are you going? Miss s.h.i.+nian, you can't go out—”
“Where's Li Muyang? Where's my Big brother—–did he go to that battle?” Li s.h.i.+nian screamed, running out to the courtyard.
“Miss s.h.i.+nian, come back, hurry come back—-” The guard desperately chased after her.
Creak—- –
The courtyard door was pushed open, and General Xu Da and a group of people in military attire charged in upon hearing the noise.
“Miss s.h.i.+nian, are you awake?” Xu Da stopped Li s.h.i.+nian and asked in a deeply concerned voice.
“Where's my brother? Where's my brother?” Li s.h.i.+nian stared firmly at Xu Da, screaming angrily, “Where is my brother? Get out of the way, step aside. Why you blocking me for? I'm going to find my brother—-”
“Miss s.h.i.+nian—-”
“Answer me.”
“That—-“
“Where is my brother?”
“Calculating the time, now Young Master Muyang—–should be fighting with that person of Still water.” Xu Da muttered.
Li s.h.i.+nian broke into a run again. “I'm going to find him.”
“Miss s.h.i.+nian, you can't go.”
“Why can't I go?”
“You are—-in Wind City now.”
“What?”
“Miss s.h.i.+nian is now in Wind City.” Xu Da gritted his teeth. “Tiandu is tens of thousands of miles away. It took us several days to come to Wind City. Even if Miss s.h.i.+nian sets off immediately, with your current physical state and without a means of transportation, it would be at least one month later before you arrive in Tiandu—–At that time, the battle is most likely already over. If Young master Muyang wins, he will surely rush over to come see Miss s.h.i.+nian on a hummingbird.”
“I am in Wind City? Wind City—-is tens of thousands of miles from Tiandu? One month—–” Li s.h.i.+nian all of a sudden shouted at the top of her voice. “Why? Why did you bring me here? Why did you bring me here? You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, who asked you to do something like this—–”
Li s.h.i.+nian burst into fury, clenched her fist and aimed a punch at Xu Da.
Xu Da stood there motionless, letting Li s.h.i.+nian attack.
“s.h.i.+nian—-” An upset cry sounded behind.
Li s.h.i.+nian changed her direction, twisted around and slammed a 'Breaking fist' into the middle of the trunk of a Ghost cherry tree. The tree trunk snapped into two, dark brown ghost-faced cherry blossoms swirling down all over the ground.
“s.h.i.+nian——” Luo Qi stood under the eaves, shouting out Li s.h.i.+nian's name. “Do not be disrespect to General Xu Da. They are just trying to do their best with was entrusted to them.”
“Mother—-” Li s.h.i.+nian cried, her eyes red. “But my brother—-is fighting with someone, but we can't stand with him and accompany him. We——how could he deal with it by himself?”
Luo Qi came over, wrapping her arms around Li s.h.i.+nian's frail body, softly saying: “General Xu Da did that, it must be because he was entrusted by your brother?”
“Yes, Madam. Gongzi did it all out of kindness.” Xu Da bowed.
“I understand.” Luo Qi sighed softly, “He had talked to us about it before, and said he would send us away first. We all disagreed, and so he also left it at that. Now come to think of it, he must have made up his mind to send us away. In the face of—–an old monster-like opponent, anyone would be afraid. Muyang wanted to face the battle alone and relieve his burden, but we clung onto him. If we stayed with him and did not leave, he would have felt his hands and feet are tied and unable to do his best.”
“In that case, we'll be waiting for him in Wind City. No matter if its one day, one month, or longer, he will certainly come—-As long as we are here, he will come. Because that's where his home is.” “
“But Mother—-brother has a very bitter life.” Li s.h.i.+nian cried, tears streaming down her cheeks, “If—–if—–”
“There's no if.” Luo Qi said in an incredibly firm tone of voice. “
“Don't worry Madam, Gongzi Muyang will definitely return safely.” Xu Da rea.s.sured her in a loud and clear voice.
“Don't worry Madam, Gongzi Muyang will definitely return safely.” The crowd behind echoed in unison.

————-
In the long course of the black dragon's life, he had experienced countless battles.
Especially when he could transform into human form, he liked to dress up as human and search for human masters to compete with.
It had to be said that he was a diligent and extremely gifted Dragon King.
Unfortunately he met the wrong people—–encountered a miserable betrayal, and in the end his entire clan ended up ma.s.sacred.
Especially in the battle of the River Tear. The masters of the human race did whatever it took, the Dragon clan resisted with all their might, and in the end still—–their blood dyed the great river, their anger unable to calm, and filled with hatred, dragon blood had been boiling endlessly for thousands of years.
However, in the Tear of the Dragon King, the Black dragon had once encountered the killing move of the Martial G.o.d Ximen Saoxue.
As everybody knew, Ximen Saoxue was the Sword G.o.d of the Divine continent, even though tens of thousands of years had pa.s.sed, his story was still widely known.
The G.o.d of Sword of the Divine continent, the King of thousands of swords.
He did not wield a sword, but everything in the world was his sword.
How could a person like that be forgotten? Moreover he was a person who had truly glorified the weapon sword, making it become a trend that everybody felt honoured to wield a sword, and formed a set of knowledge system of sword techniques.
In other words, this guy was not only good at sword techniques, but also had a high theoretical knowledge.
He could not win against him in skill or knowledge, as a result besides respecting him as King, there was nothing else they could do.
The Battle of the Dragon ma.s.sacre. When the black dragon led his dragon elites to kill the Imperial family of the human race, Ximen Saoxue decided to act.
He used a branch he picked up on the side of the road as a sword, and then soared skywards like an immortal.
In an instant, the heaven and earth faded and all things withered.
Anyone who touched his sword intent, their life was instantly taken away and turned into a lifeless corpse.
Whether it was a human or an animal, or even the wildflowers on the ground.
That sword was the King of sword and the sword of destruction.
It was a sword that made people feel helpless.
The black dragon possessed the magical skills of the dragon clan, and luckily escaped under the 12 sword techniques. However, the two dragon elites with him were shrouded in the sword intent, and then their body was ripped into pieces by the sword, turned into rain of blood, shredded flesh and fluttered to the ground, sprinkling across the great river.
It was precisely because there were several powerful cultivators of the divine continent similar to Ximen Saoxue that the tremendous dragons, which possessed the remarkable ability of calling the wind and summoning the rain, can soar beyond the ninth heaven, and had an extremely strong physical capacity and ability to recover, had suffered a defeat and failed to escape.
