Chapter 63: X, A, H
Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek
In the air, a fine light flew over and hid inside Village Chief's hair. Village Chief acted like nothing had happened and walked downwards in midair, returning back to the Disabled Elderly Village.
Thirty miles downstream, Surging River took a turn here to go around a mountain so to flow past a ravine. The ice tide was stuck here and more ice started to accumulate until the whole river path was blocked.
”Woman Wu, stop!”
The hundred feet white bone centipede woman carried Qin Mu into the sky and slithered forward like a dragon with extremely fast speed. Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, it landed on the left peak of the ravine and laughed coldly, ”Why should I listen to you, rascal?”
Qin Mu jumped down from its back, looking bewildered, ”I've saved you so you naturally should help me by breaking apart the dam of ice on the river to repay me.”
Woman Wu wiggled its body and transformed back into Xian Qing'er. With its limbs dragging the chains, it jumped around Qin Mu a few times with the chains rattling. Then, it stuck out its head from Qin Mu's back and chuckled. ”I have to repay you because you helped me? Have you forgotten? How miserably had you treated me before? I was almost killed by the old bald donkey! Not only that, you even robbed all the treasures I had hidden all these years. I should be eating you up instead!”
Qin Mu smiled, ”But you don't dare.”
Woman Wu's neck suddenly grew by several yards. It wrapped a few times around Qin Mu before it looked at him straight in the face and sneered, ”I don't dare to? Now that you don't have the old bald donkey to help you, why wouldn't I dare?”
”I live in the Disabled Elderly Village and I have nine elders, every single one of them could easily kill you.”
Qin Mu smiled and continued, ”No matter how you change your face or how far you run, they can easily track you down, easily kill you, and easily make you wish that you were never born in this world.”
Chills went down Woman Wu's spine and its neck shrunk back, returning back to the adorable girl who jumped around while shaking the golden loops and chains on its hands, ”I'm scared of your elders but I am not obliged to help you. The old bald donkey was right, now that you saved me, I'm going to commit evil and eat people! Why should I help you save people? I'm going now—”
It turned around and left with the chains rattling.
Qin Mu suddenly said, ”Woman Wu, as what Buddhism preached, lay down the butcher's knife and become Buddha on the spot. This sentence is too superficial and has no distinction between good and evil so it's hard to truly believe in it. However, if you help me settle the dammed lake and save countless of lives downstream, it would be your merit which would be a way greater merit than that Buddha ever did.”
Woman Wu stopped her footstep and turned her head back to listen curiously.
Qin Mu continued, ”Helping me save people will raise your merit hundred times higher than that copper Buddha who restrained you! If you meet him again, would he still have the face to restrain you?”
Woman Wu leaned its head to one side and gave it some thought before bursting out in laughter, ”You have a point, I shall help you then. Hehe, the old bald donkey pretended to be righteous by using the fact that I had eaten too many people to restrain me in the name of justice, he also said that he would use these churning river water to wash away my sins. I've told him that I only ate people because I'm hungry and not if they are good or evil. I only need to eat like how you humans need to eat rice, chicken, and vegetable when you're hungry.”
It looked at the dammed-up river below and continued, ”I had no feelings with the people I ate so I only treated them as food. You don't have any feeling with vegetable and rice that's why you eat them. The baldy said I had fallacious reasoning and suppressed me. He did well so I decided to eat people in his temple and not let him have any merit! However, if my merit is above him, I'll see if he still have the face to suppress me! Hmm, there's too much ice in the river, if my spirit weapons were still around, I could break through the ice. However, my spirit weapons were all confiscated by the baldy…”
Hummm—
Qin Mu controlled the Junior Protector Sword and used qi to manipulate sword to cut down on the ice tide blocking the ravine below, ”Woman Wu, assist me!”
”The sword that cut off the chains?”
Woman Wu's eyes lit up and revealed its true form. With its hundred feet moving together it leaped down the cliff. Qin Mu jumped down and landed on its back. The hundred feet white bone centipede then flew in the air and carried Qin Mu to the blockade made from the ice tide.
”Cleave!”
Qin Mu shouted as the Junior Protector Sword cut down onto the ice tide. As the same time, Woman Wu spat out a breath and frightening demon vital qi rushed out and surged frantically into the Junior Protector Sword.
This Junior Protector Sword suddenly expanded three hundred yards long and cut down on the ice tide!
The ice tide grew higher and higher as floating ice kept getting sent up to the freezing blockade. If it continues to accumulate like this, it would definitely be a calamity for the lives on both shores of the Surging River!
Junior Protector Sword slashed through the air and where the blade had passed, two walls of air could be seen with the naked eye. The three hundred yards long sword then landed on the dam of ice, slashing all the way through like it was tofu.
”This is bad!”
Woman Wu's expression changed hugely and was about to fly up but it was already too late. The dam of ice immediately collapsed under the pressure of the turbulent river water, causing numerous shattered ice to fly straight at them after being squeezed under the pressure of the water.
From the looks of it, it was clearly a drowning disaster.
Before the dam of ice even hit them, the hurricane had pressured them to fall from the sky.
