Chapter 63: X, A, H (2/2)
Chi chi chi—
Numerous ice shards flew in random directions. Qin Mu's face suddenly felt a wave of pain as one of the ice shards grazed his face.
His vital qi was dense and had an extremely strong defense. He couldn't be hurt from the pummeling of the raging ape yet the ice shards were so fast that they could actually hurt him. From that, one can imagine how dangerous it would be if the dam of ice were to fall on them.
Woman Wu carried him and ran as ice shards of all sizes flew past them along with the surging waves. Following that, the hurricane along with the ice shards and huge waves smacked right into their bodies, sending the monster and the human flying!
Thud thud.
Two loud thuds came from the cliff opposites as Qin Mu and Woman Wu smacked onto the cliff and embed themselves in the walls. One of them was sprawled in an ”X” shape while the other was in a series of ”H” shape.
Then, a screeching sound of a sword could be heard. When Qin Mu heard this sound, he knew something was wrong as the screeching of the sword was heading straight for him!
He immediately opened up his legs and heard a clink sound as the Junior Protector Sword nearly stabbed into his thighs.
Phew—
Qin Mu left out a sigh of relief, now his legs had formed an ”A” shape as the Junior Protector Sword was just five inches away from his body.
Beside him, the great demon burst out in laughter. Qin Mu couldn't help it but laugh out as well. The laughter of the demon and the human grew louder and louder as it resounded throughout the whole ravine.
Below them, the river water surged forth and a crisis was resolved by this peculiar duo.
Not long later, Qin Mu and Woman Wu, who had transformed into Xian Ling'er sat on the cliff while resting their hands backward as they looked at the blue sky and white clouds. They experienced tranquility in their hearts.
”Who's that copper Buddha?” Qin Mu asked.
”He's from the Small Thunderclap Monastery, a different kind that had reached illumination, a demon just like me.”
Woman Wu looked at the golden loops on its legs, ”It is said that the patriarch of Small Thunderclap Monastery had worshiped Buddhism and became a disciple of the Great Thunderclap Monastery. However, he had rebelled and left the Great Thunderclap Monastery to create the Small Thunderclap Monastery, bestowing the title of Small Rulai on himself. I've heard that he was forced into the Great Ruins by Rulai of the Great Thunderclap Monastery and so the Small Thunderclap Monastery had also moved into the Great Ruins. The successive generation that was in charge of the Small Thunderclap Monastery were all demons like me but they called themselves Small Rulai. The one who had suppressed me at the ancient temple was the Small Rulai of this generation. Now that you have cut his chains and set me free, hehe, you have it in for you!”
”Small Thunderclap Monastery? Small Rulai?”
Qin Mu was stumped for words, ”The Small Thunderclap Monastery is in Great Ruins?”
”Of course. Demon monks aren't rarely seen. The monks of Small Thunderclap Monastery are extremely petty and would definitely seek revenge, let alone their Small Rulai?”
Woman Wu snickered, ”With the old baldy's temperament, he will definitely seek revenge on you!”
Suddenly, an angry shout sounded out harshly, ”As a human, you actually allied yourself with a demon. Today, we as masters and disciples will have to subdue the demons!”
Qin Mu looked over and saw a few Taoists walking over. There were young males and females along with an elder. The Taoist elder had an austere of righteousness while the young males and females revealed expressions of excitement. It was obvious they were strong practitioners that had come into the Great Ruins from the outside world for the experience.
”Fellow Taoist priests, this demon and I had just resolved a crisis and demolished this dammed lake to save countless of lives downstream.”
Qin Mu rose and solemnly said, ”This demon had saved countless of lives and isn't…”
”Shut up, abandoned people!”
The Taoist elder shouted sternly in devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence, ”You deserve to die even more for being in cahoots with a demon and helping a villain do evil! Today we shall get rid of both of you! My disciples, set up the formation and subdue the demons!”
”I'm hungry.” The little girl beside Qin Mu licked its red lips and told him.
”Some people are worse than demons.”
With his interest waning, Qin Mu leaped from the cliff and into the river below, his voice sounding out, ”Woman Wu, I hereby release you, you're free!”
Landing on the river, he stepped on the waves.
Screams came from the top of the ravine as Woman Wu revealed her true form and started its massacre. After a while, the demon had filled its belly and ran into the sky, slithering into the clouds before vanishing.
”Cowherd boy, if fate allows, we'll meet again—” the demon cloud caught up with Qin Mu and Woman Wu's voice came from it before going off in the distance.
