Chapter 362: Hua Xiong (1/2)
As soon as the Fifth Senior Sister arrived, she smelled the faint scent of blood. Not wanting to think otherwise, she quickened her pace, arriving at the site of her dead brothers and sisters.
”Who did this?”
Her eyes flashed as she spun back, swinging her scythe defensively as scanning the area but Fu Zi saw nothing. She still kept her guard up.
”Only the fifth position disciple is here... Shouldn't there be three?”
Ming Yue felt somewhat confused. She had been expecting three but there was only Fu Zi.
”Were they killed in earlier fight? Or are they somewhere else?”
She did not make a move yet, wanting to wait and make sure. If the Fifth Senior Sister was truly alone, Ming Yue would make her move. So she waited, minutes passed as Fu Zi continued to wacth her surroundings before suddenly shouting out.
”Come out here! I know you're watching me right now.”
Her voice echoed through the trees only to be met with silence. However, Fu Zi looked towards a single direction, her eyes confident as she pointed her scythe there.
Ming Yue watched the scythe go in the opposite direction of her.
”Who is she pointing to?”
Following the scythe, she looked at the same direction, trying to see who was there.
Moments later, a figure emerged from trees and stepped forward.
”Hmph, you've been following me since we fought the Gold Tusk Elephander. Who are you?” Fu Zi asked.
She lowered her scythe, staring at this mystery person.
”Indeed, I noticed the commotion and watched as you not only slaughtered that poor beast but your own comrades as well.”
Revealing herself, Ming Yue was shocked to find that it was Hua Xiong!
But there was something different about her. Apart from her clothes which were simple white robes, her expression and behavior was completely different. There was all but a trace of that apathy from when the had met. Rather it seemed like, Hua Xiong had reverted to her softer and kinder self.
The white streak of hair had grown thicker and was let down, reaching her hips. As for her eyes, the white iris seemed to shine brightly as the other had a greenish glow to it.
”What of it?” Fu Zi snapped back, ”What does it matter to you?”
The grip on her scythe tightened as she grew wary of her.
”Earth Realm? What is a young girl like her doing here? There is more to her.”
Watching her every move, the Fifth Senior Sister began to circle around Hua Xiong, spinning her scythe slowly. The blades began to open wide as fangs grew out and the eyes of the skull began to release a dark light.
Her eyes stayed on Hua Xiong like a hawk, waiting for her to move.
”I can't let you continue on like this. Someone as brutal as you should not have entered these grounds.”
Hua Xiong did not move from her place as she continued to speak but Fu Zi scoffed at those words.
”And what can you do? If talking is the only thing, I'm afraid that its going to take more than that.”
”No, of course not, but this is where it ends.”
Hua Xiong's hands began to glow of a white light which seemed to emit motes of emeral light. Pointing her hands forward, she began to shoot out beams of light at the Fifth Senior Sister.
”Hmph, so you made your move.”
Fu Zi's expression grew serious as she dodged the attack. It wasn't just one or two beams but a constant stream, all aimed towards where she stood.
