Chapter 383 - This Insidious Woman (2/2)

Staring at the dust along the way Xiao Chen and the others left, Yu Yifeng uttered a sigh. He turned back and said, “Stop, everyone. We are leaving now. See you later.” After that, he cupped his hands and slightly raised them to salute. Su Zimu, Bai Yushu, and others saluted them in return. “See you again.”

Yu Yifeng and others left. On their way, each one of them remained silent. After a long time, Qingyu finally moved her lips and said with a very little voice as if she were whispering to herself. “Junior Brother Xiao… Has the demonic woman really bewitched him?”

The others said nothing. Flying in midair, Zhiluan kept waving its paws. “That d*mned boy is obsessed with this beauty. When I restore my magic power, I will beat it out of him!”

Luo Shangyan stopped, and everyone turned around to look at her. They saw her shaking her head and walking up to them. In a soft voice, she said, “No, he must have his reasons and something that he is determined to do…” As she said this, her voice gradually sank.

In the distance, a large piece of dark cloud slowly came to them. It seemed that everything was going to change from now on.

Bringing Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue with him, Guifeng ran 50 kilometers to the south. On their way, they also encountered a few groups of Walking Corpses. But the devil horse’s iron hooves smashed all of them. After Guifeng had run for about one hour, Xiao Chen saw him gasping heavily. He thought that Guifeng must haven’t yet recovered after his battle against Xiaoxiang Yu’s Sixth-order beast soul, so he said, “General, I’m fine now. You can put me down.”

“Whoosh…”

The devilish horse stopped. And after taking a few steps forward, Guifeng took Xiao Chen down when they arrived into a wood, and he said, “The enemies haven’t yet caught up with us. I will cure the wound for you right now, my Lord!”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and shook his head. “There is nothing serious with me now. You must be tired now, general. You don’t need to waste any more Soul power on me. Please come back.”

“Then… I will retreat first.”

Slowly, Su Lianyue walked over. Looking at him, she said, “Are you… okay?” She thought to herself, “That night, Danyang Zi blew his Soul up, the power of which was more than ten times that the power Guifeng’s blade brought. At that time, Xiao Chen seemed unscathed. But today, Guifeng’s blade attack could hurt him like this. Is he really… But how is it possible?”

Xiao Chen ignored her. He looked up at the sky and saw the dark clouds gathering in the sky. It seemed that it was going to rain again. Right away, he found a clean place. After he gathered his gown’s lower hem, Xiao Chen sat down with his legs crossed. After a while, he forced the extravagated blood in his body out, but his face still looked a bit ugly. Though Guifeng withdrew some force of the previous attack, the attack still had the Nirvana Realm power, plus it was a surprise attack. In such a hurry, Xiao Chen had no time to mobilize his power to defend.

Another quarter passed. A series of dull thunder slowly came from far to near. After a little while, it started to drizzle continuously. Like willow catkins flying in the air, strands of rain gently brushed Xiao Chen’s face, which made him feel ice-cold. Su Lianyue opened her umbrella and walked up to cover the rain for him.

Xiao Chen said lightly, and his eyes still closed. “I am a boorish man. You needn’t use your Pure-heart Greenish-blue Umbrella to keep off the rain for me. Please put it away.”

Su Lianyue giggled, making the umbrella trembling lightly. She smiled and said, “If you are a rough man from the mountains, then I guess I can only be a village girl from the countryside.”

Xiao Chen practiced breathing techniques for several times and regained some True Energy. After opening his eyes, he said lightly, “But a village girl doesn’t know how to use a sword. Why didn’t you use the Fatal-thrust to kill me when I was practicing and healing myself? You could take the chance to blame my death on Yi Yeqiu.” When he finished speaking, Xiao Chen landed his eyes on her.

When Su Lianyue heard his words, she was first stunned. Then she shook violently with laughter, which made a few raindrops fall on Xiao Chen’s face.

“You must be joking, Master Xiao. How am I supposed to know how to use the Fatal-thrust?”

Xiao Chen gave her a cold smile but didn’t speak. When he grabbed Su Lianyue in the woods before, the strong wind happened to blow her cuffs a little up. At this point, Xiao Chen spotted a few shallow scratches on Su Lianyue’s arm. If he guessed right, the scratches must be made by the person who died under the tree.

Xiao Chen had guessed what had happened at that time. By wielding her enchanting skills, Su Lianyue successfully bewitched everyone so that she could easily use the Fatal-thrust to kill them. But in the end, one of them woke up and shot out to grab her. When the person was awake, he certainly would go to fight against her. In a hurry, she slapped at that person. But accidentally, she shattered his internal organs. Therefore, Su Lianyue had no choice but to add a cut at the person’s neck.

Xiao Chen had become increasingly aware of how insidious Su Lianyue was. “She is even more cunning than Xiaoyue. Just now, Su Lianyue led Xiaoyue and others to the only way that I would pass. After that, she deliberately stimulated more intense contradictions between the Divine Mist Sect, the Yin-Yang Sect, the Bloodied Fiend Sect, and the Dark Shadow Hall. This person can be so deceptive that I have to take precautions against her, even if we only have brief cooperation.”

“Master Xiao?”

The rain only lasted for a while, and now it was clear again. Su Lianyue put away her umbrella and smiled gently at him. Her smile looked as pure as an open lily after the rain. Su Lianyue seemed to smile sincerely without any attempt to seduce him. Xiao Chen stood up. Now he had almost recovered. Glancing at Su Lianyue, he asked, “Well, now do you want us to go separate ways or go together?”

The air in the woods was especially fresh after the rain. The raindrops on the leaves reflected the sunshine, twinkling. Those raindrops seemed to be countless pearls hanging on the trees. Beyond that, a rainbow rose against the sky in the distance. Su Lianyue smiled gently, hiding her hands behind. “What a beautiful scenery! If I am alone, will I waste such a perfect background? I think I’d better go with you, Master Xiao.”

“Then, if I am accidentally injured again, please show me some mercy, Fairy Suyue.” Xiao Chen replied.
