Chapter 4.2 - Creating Chaos (1/2)

Then, an airy voice spoke from the darkness in front of them. “Who are you! How dare you enter the forbidden zone!”

Without warning, there was a glint of light as a blade shot out towards Wei Liang and Lin Qui, but Wei Liang grabbed Lin Qiu’s wrist and sidestepped two paces and easily avoided the weapon.

Then, the area in front of Lin Qiu’s vision started to brighten up.

She saw Wei Liang lift his left hand, pressing the air in front of him as if there was a glass wall. At the place where his palm and the air connected, white rays of light began to spider outwards and split open in every direction.

At each side from about ten miles away, three cultivators wearing long robes looked on in shock.

“Send the message now! A strong enemy is attacking us! The barrier is about to break!”

One of them turned around and ran off, while the other two held scorching blades in hand. The tip of their blades shot forward like snakes, charging forward and heavily slashing towards the person that was in the process of breaking the barriers.

Wei Liang didn’t even look back, and his sleeves flapped in the air as he let go of Lin Qiu.

The shadows of both blades swayed past each side of him, and—

CRACK!

There was a loud cracking sound as each blade landed on the barrier.

The white cracks in the air grew, and then the barrier shattered!

Wei Liang took no notice about the two people behind him, and he hugged Lin Qiu and with light footsteps entered through the broken barrier, stepping into a gloomily lit cave in the mountains.

Lin Qiu was stunned at the magical scene on display. Water flowed beneath her, while the shimmering and translucent dripstones dangled from the top of the cave. The dripstones glittered softly with the seven colours, almost lighting up the place as the lights intertwined and danced with each other on the cavern rock surfaces.

Wei Liang simply kept his gaze forwards as he walked straight towards the deepest part of the cave.

“Yes?” a nasally voice came from the darkness. The voice sounded so charismatic that it felt like a real force coming at them.

But then, the surroundings immediately turned hot as a wave of fire rushed out, and the dripstones turned bright red and melted from the ceiling of the cave like burning lava.

“A fire swordswoman, Wang Ho Zhi,” Wei Liang said in a lowered voice, his tone deep, slightly dark, sounding different from his usual self.

Suddenly, an old woman wearing red jumped out from between the dripstones with her arms outstretched like a giant bird. Her eyes were as sharp as talons as she looked fiercely at Wei Liang. He stretched out his arms and held Lin Qiu tightly as he dove directly into the fire wave that Wang Ho Zhi ignited.

“Hm?” Wang Ho Zhi laughed. “Coming to seek death?”

The moment, Wei Liang’s figure appeared behind her like a ghost. His cold hand pressed on her neck and easily broke it.
