173 Chapter 173 Just one person (1/2)
When Zong Shou's figure finally disappeared into the snow, Ye Feihan forcefully broke out of Ye Feishuang's control, staring at her sister and furiously saying, ”Sister Shuang what are you doing? Younger Brother Shou saved our life, why did you treat him like that?”
Ye Feishuang was expressionless, ”We must be wary against others. We have so many treasures on us and we can't tell others about our identity. If he wants to kill us and take it, what could we do? This person is really deep and didn't reveal anything even after three months with us. We didn't even know he was a dual cultivator who had reached such a high realm. Maybe he had some reasons for being together with us...”
”Kill us? Bad intentions?” Ye Feihan smiled in rage, ”I only know that if younger brother wanted to attack us just now we didn't stand any chance at all. Sister, do you really think that way?”
Ye Feishuang's breathing stopped, not shaken at all, ”Even if he didn't have bad intentions we have to be wary. Our race and his race are enemies, thousands of years ago many of our ancestors died by the hands of the Sky Fox. Maybe in the future, we will become enemies!”
”Sister you were the one that said it was tens of thousands of years ago! What does it have to do with now? Don't bully me for not knowing anything, but these few thousand years we haven't had any connection with them...”
Ye Feihan bit her lips, tears building up in her eyes, ”Forget it, I won't argue with you. Younger Brother Shou is a good person and not as bad as you think he is. I like him...”
She stomped and ran into the distance. Ye Feishuang stood rooted to the ground, sighing softly. How could she not know what Ye Feihan was talking about?
Shaking her head, she jumped up in the direction of her sister and chased.
Not long after the two girls left, two more people appeared in the snowy land.
It was one male and one female. The male was tall and muscular and looked quite handsome, while the girl was elegant and very pretty.
Their faces were filled with shock as they looked carefully at the two huge holes in the ground.
After a long while, Lei Dong blinked, ”I must have seen wrong. Little Clown Yanran, why not lend me your hand to pinch?”
Zhao Yanran didn't say anything, stabbing out with her sword. She didn't have any killing intent but the sword was evidently sharp and vicious.
Lei Dong frenziedly flashed away and left his spot, appearing two hundred feet away, scolding, ”You crazy woman! Forget it, I'll pinch myself...”
Pinching his own face, his mouth instantly tilted. It was really painful!
The two were totally silent. It was only until a small breeze blew across that covered the giant hole in a layer of snow, that Lei Dong opened his mouth once more. His expression was constantly changing, ”Little clown, that fellow really broke into Xiantian!”
Zhao Yanran acknowledged his words but didn't say anything, only starting at the two holes. She could see some rough sword marks. The strength of the sword technique was evident.
Although the sword attack wasn't complete, it made fear rise from the bottom of one's heart.
Although the person had left long ago, based on the marks he left he could let off an immense pressure which suppressed her to the point that she couldn't breathe, her confidence fading. She lost the ability to raise any intention or thought of going up against him.
Lei Dong frowned, ”Your reaction is just that? This fellow actually relied on nobody and broke through to Xiantian? Remember that there were only five people that have broken through the barriers of heaven?”
”There are six now!”
Zhao Yanran rose her head, her eyes recovering some liveliness, ”Adding in Zong Shou there are six! However not relying on external help and breaking through on his own, during these ten thousand years he's the only one...”
Lei Dong exclaimed, ”So within heaven and earth he is the only one? I remember that everyone who could break through the barriers of heaven all became Grandmaster Realm experts, correct?”
”The only one! That's right!” Zhao Yanran nodded and replied simply.
Lei Dong tried his best to calm down, though he was still quite dispirited, his expression very hesitant and complicated, ”I thought that the barriers of heaven would stop him for a few years. In the end, it only took him three months! When did this fellow become so strong? It seems like my stone is becoming more and more worth it. Who knows what will happen between my uncle and your teacher? I'm only afraid that they may fight so much that it can't end. What should we do now?”
Zhan Yanran's eyes lit up, a sharp glow appearing. Lei Dong smiled, looking in the direction of the two girls, ”Your Seven Spirit Sect always go all out and stops at nothing, do you want to get rich? I saw that there are at least two Grade Nine Spiritual Artifacts. You can disguise yourself as a Juelong City person while I save the damsel in distress and get some riches, how about that?”
Zhao Yanran stared viciously at him, ”Are you crazy? If you want to die I won't accompany you!” After she spoke she turned around and left.
Lei Dong pulled at the corner of his lips, touching his head before sighing in pity. Soul Nourishing Stones, Soul Accumulating Pearls, he also wanted them.
Suddenly he was astonished as he turned around and looked into the distance, only to see two giant eyes open up where ice and snow once was. It looked at him from afar, teasing him.
Lei Dong gave a bitter smile, he was really just joking. Actually, he never had any of these thoughts. That was true!
At the same time, in a valley thousands of miles away, the atmosphere was really dense.
Relying on spiritual techniques to attach to Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran's body, these two people knew everything that happened like the back of their hands.
Which was why they were even more shocked.
”He actually broke through to Xiantian and became a Night Wandering Spirit Master. How quick, really quick! Unbelievable, really unbelievable...”
Shui Lingbo murmured. She then suddenly dashed into the air, not bothering with anything as she ran toward where Zong Shou was.
On a mountain a hundred miles away, a glow appeared in Yan Fan's eyes. He didn't hesitate to pull out his sword and swing downward. Energy stretching a hundred thousand feet like that of a traveling dragon followed closely behind Shui Lingbo.
He put everything into that sword swing. This battle was now one of life and death!
