Chapter 544 - The Battle Hung in the Balance (2/2)
Perfected Immortal Qingxu laughed and nodded his head. “Fortunately, Bai Ling’s Sword Spirit is running out of spirit energy at this time. Otherwise, that kid would be seriously injured.”
…
After launching its last attack, the Sword Spirit went back into the Cyan Spirit Sword because Bai Ling had run out of spiritual energy. Bai Ling did not expect that Xiao Chen would stop striking back at the last moment. After a short moment of distraction, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made an important decision. Then, she summoned the Cyan Spirit Sword and rushed toward Xiao Chen, who was still lying on the small hill. At that very moment, everyone could sense that Bai Ling was completely aloof, murderous, and ruthless.
Xiao Chen detected Bai Ling’s action. He channeled his True Energy and raise his palm to resist. However, when the Cyan Spirit Sword nearly reached him, he found that its attack was so weak.
Bai Ling had almost used up her spiritual energy just now, and now she could not hold on any longer. Her Cyan Spirit Sword slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground. At the same time, she lost all her strength and fell from the sky.
“Oh!” The sounds of surprise emanated from the crowd. Xiao Chen turned around, swooped down from above, and caught Bai Ling gently. Then he slowly landed on the ground with her in his arms.
Bai Ling’s face was pale and she could not exert even the slightest bit of strength. She gritted her teeth and said, “Let me go. I don’t want any of you to pity me!” As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
“If I let go of you, you’ll fall to your death,” Xiao Chen said placidly.
“You needn’t show your mercy to me. Let me go…” Bai Ling cried out and suddenly bit Xiao Chen hard on the shoulder. Xiao Chen groaned in pain and stared at her. He said, “You’re so crazy!”
After landing on the ground, Xiao Chen immediately let go of her. Without another word, Bai Ling stretched out her hand and summoned the Cyan Spirit Sword. She thrust the sword at Xiao Chen’s throat, but she was still too weak to launch a powerful attack. At this moment, she was unable to hurt a Foundation Building Realm cultivator, let alone Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen frowned. He couldn’t understand why Bai Ling became such an unreasonable woman. He pressed his two fingers together and pinched the Cyan Spirit Sword. He said lightly, “Well, you lost. From now on, you are not allowed to steal any Mystic Stones from my Wind-heeding Pavilion!” Then, he gave her a little push through the sword, which made the weak girl take a few steps back and fall down to the roadside lawn.
“Hmph!” Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves and turned to stare at the other senior disciples who snatched Mystic Stones from the newcomers. He said loudly, “From now on, our Wind-heeding Pavilion will be independent. We will no longer hand over our own Mystic Stones to anyone or any group!”
Hearing that, the feet of those senior disciples were trembling in fear. They were secretly glad that they didn’t need to collect Mystic Stones from the Wind-heeding Pavilion.
After saying that, Xiao Chen looked at Qin Tianyu and the others and said, “Let’s go to our training area.”
“Wow!” The youths immediately cheered and followed up.
After Xiao Chen and his companions left, the crowd gradually dispersed. Bai Ling was still sitting on the lawn. Seeing that, some senior disciples didn’t leave her alone, but they didn’t know whether she needed help or not.
At this moment, a sword radiance shone. The senior disciples staying there immediately lowered their heads and cupped their hands to show respect. “Senior Brother Baili…”
Bai Ling trembled. She immediately stood up. Her voice was shaking as well. “S-Senior Brother Baili.”
Baili Xiaohualuo glanced at her indifferently and said, “Let’s go back.” After that, he looked in the direction in which Xiao Chen left.
…
“Brother Chen, you are far more powerful than I expected! Those two dragons scared many people so much that they didn’t even dare to stand up. Haha!” At this moment, the youths in the first district had caused a huge ruckus. They were full of praise for the battle just now.
Xiao Chen had just suffered some internal injuries. After meditating for a while, Chu Qi came over and whispered, “Senior Brother.”
“Well.” Xiao Chen nodded. He then opened his eyes and said to Qin Tianyu, “All right, you should all focus on your cultivation.”
“Yes, sir!” The youths sat down and began to cultivate. Xiao Chen got up and walked over. He took out some seal talismans from his Divine Vessel and passed them to Qin Tianyu and the other disciples. Qin Tianyu held the colorful seal talismans in his hand and murmured, “Fire Manipulation Talisman, Lightning Blockade, Ice Freezing Talisman…” Then he looked at Xiao Chen and asked, “Brother Chen, why do you give these seal talismans to us?”
Xiao Chen nodded and replied, “I have to leave with Chu Qi for some time. During this period…” Before he could finish his words, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar. “Is Brother Chen leaving? Where to?”
They regarded Xiao Chen as an anchor of the Wind-heeding Pavilion. As long as Xiao Chen stayed here, they didn’t fear being teased or bullied by anyone. Now Xiao Chen was leaving, what should they do? Qin Tianyu pinched the seal talismans in his hand and shouted, “Be quiet, everyone. Let’s listen to Brother Chen!”
The crowd immediately quieted down. Xiao Chen said, “I will go outside with Chu Qi for at least one week… or even for a long time. I don’t know when I will come back either. Anyway, after I leave here, all of you, don’t make trouble.”
