Chapter 381 - A Fatal-thrust (1/2)

“You…” For a time, Su Lianyue seemed to be unable to respond. With a little anger on her face, Su Lianyue looked at him resentfully.

Only by a resentful look with a frown, she made Xiao Chen feel grieved in his heart. Then, Xiao Chen felt chill and uncomfortable as if a sudden bolt of lightning struck him. He thought, “Perhaps because of the rain just now, it is ice-cold outside, and she happened to pass by the cave. She may not necessarily come here with any conspiracy. Even if she is a member of the Devil’s Practice, she is only a woman. Why do you treat her like this?”

“Humph!” At just the perfect time, Su Lianyue snorted lightly and then tilted her head aside. She looked as if she was greatly wronged.

This time, Xiao Chen felt even more guilty and was about to take back the Unsullied Sword. However, on second thought, an idea came to his mind. “No, it is not right! What a strong enchanting power this demonic woman in the Devil’s Practice has! She tricked me!” With a cold voice, Xiao Chen asked, “Tell me, why are you coming here?”

Su Lianyue snorted lightly and said with a little angry voice. “You spoke either with your back to me or with your sword pointing at me. What is wrong with you?”

“I…” This time it was Xiao Chen’s turn to be speechless. Xiao Chen swung his sleeves and said with a cold voice, “You can say whatever you want to say. I have been irreconcilable with you members of the Devils’ sects from the beginning.” Perhaps, the thing that happened last time had brought Xiao Chen more hard feelings on Devils’ sects.

Su Lianyue hummed a little. She curved her mouth corners a little, showing a little proud smile as if she had finally defeated Xiao Chen. Then, she said, “You kept speaking ill of the Devils’ sects. Is the Orthodox Path that you have stayed in so perfect?”

Flicking his sleeves, Xiao Chen said coldly, “Not much better than you Devil’s Practice!”

“Hum, that’s right.” Twisting her waist, Su Lianyue walked over with short steps. She turned her wrist, and a turquoise blue lighter appeared in her hand. After she gave a slight puff to the lighter, it was immediately ignited with a sizzle. Then, the flames made the cave slightly warmer.

“On such a cold day, don’t you know that you can set fire to keep warm? You are such a fool…”

Xiao Chen’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled because he didn’t expect that she would say so. Right after that, he decided to totally ignore her words and prevent him from any impacts she might bring. However, to Xiao Chen’s surprise, he slightly shivered after hearing the next sentence of Su Lianyue.

“I suppose that your purpose of coming to the Miasma Mountain Range this time is not for the extraordinary treasure, right?”

When she said this, Su Lianyue’s look was already very serious. Slightly jumping, the flames on the lighter reflected in her eyes. The darkness in the depth of her eyes looked as deep as the night sky without stars. Xiao Chen could not figure out what was in her mind, so he asked with a cold voice, “What do you want to say, again?”

“Well, you must come here for another purpose…” Leaning gently against his ear, Su Lianyue uttered the words with fragrant breathings. Being so close to her, Xiao Chen could clearly smell the faint fragrance of her hair and see the amethyst earrings on her earlobes.

“What exactly do you want to say…”

…

After 30 minutes, Su Lianyue walked back to the entrance of the cave and said gently, “Then, it’s a deal. You must remember our agreement.” After giving Xiao Chen a sweet smile, she tiptoed and disappeared under the night sky. In the cave, her faint scent still lingered.

Xiao Chen gazed at the darkness outside where she disappeared, and he found that this woman from the Devils’ sects could even hide deeper than Xiaoyue. At most, he could only fight to a draw with her. Before Xiao Chen left, Qingluan specifically told him to watch out for this person.

Somehow, a gust of cold wind came in and made the flames before him shaking violently. And Xiao Chen saw that another turquoise blue lighter was left on the stone next to him by Su Lianyue. Suddenly, he flicked his sleeves and put out the fire. Once again, the cave plunged into cold and darkness.

Quite early next morning, it unexpectedly cleared up outside. A ray of sunshine came in sideways. After Xiao Chen meditated for the whole night, he opened his eyes and felt a little dazzling. At the entrance of the cave, the dew gathered on the leaves of the several green blades of grass. Twinkling in the sun, they looked adorable.

Xiao Chen breathed deep in and out for a few times and walked to the entrance of the cave. As the morning breeze swept over his clothes, he felt a bit of coolness. Gazing far into the distance, he saw these overlapped mountains and luxuriant trees under the blue sky and the white clouds. Though the mountains here were not towering, the mountain range here seemed to be vast and endlessly. And the mountains in the south were in an enshrouding mist. Xiao Chen guessed that it must be the entrance of the Ghost-wailing Hill.

At the moment, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind. After putting on his straw raincoat again, he walked toward the south. In his two hours of walking, he saw a lot of dead bodies, which were probably the result of the killings between the Orthodox Path and the Devil’s Practice. When Xiao Chen walked 500 meters further, a stenchy smell suddenly filled his nostrils. Slightly frowning, he leaned forward to check and spotted twenty more corpses lying in disorder in the wood.

Only by a glance, Xiao Chen recognized that the majority of these 20 more bodies were the Divine Mist Sect’s disciples who were in easily identified costumes. The rest bodies were disciples from the Yin-Yang Sect, which got well along with the Divine Mist Sect.
