Chapter 378 - Wang Lings Indecision (2/2)
”HELP! PLEASE HELP!” a cry for help echoed through the air, piercing the area with a young lady's screech!
Wang Ling turned his back on the direction of the scream, he shouldn't concern himself with other people's pleas.
Millions no, billions that's a rough estimate of the number of people he had killed both directly and indirectly. He had gone numb at the thought of death, his life mired in the thick ocean of the blood he had taken.
Blood stained not only hand but also his existence, life was also useless to him, to a Celestial, an Immortal who had seen the peak, so why? Why does his injured self now move against the logic and rationality of existence?
It would be quick, this thought surfaced, it overwhelmed him, ate at him, and in the end, it drove him. It drove him to take a different path from what he had found!
The Holy Qi responded to his desire, his body moved and with every step, his movement became quicker, his body screamed yet not once did he slow down. The voices grew stronger, and he appeared above two children.
An older brother holding a sword protecting his younger sister, this sight replaced the darkness-covered scenery. Wang Ling now sees the enemy was none other than a humanoid Abyssal Demon.
Wang Ling looked at the Abyssal Demon and before he could even land on the ground, he already transformed himself into a weapon, his legs touched the ground, the earth was grasped by his existence, and then as the other leg landed, he poised his body, drew his arm back, and then spoke, ”Blood Seeking Fist — Thunder Fist”
A memory of the past surfaced a technique he mastered before appeared and Wang Ling struck the unknowing beast!
BOOM!
A giant hole was carved on the Abyssal Demon's body, Wang Ling, however, did not stop, he knew this was not enough to kill it. He turned his body, moved his hand, and grabbed the sword the older brother held!
”I'll be borrowing this.” He stated and from south to north the sight of a bloody river appeared, ”Blood Seeking Sword — Culling River!”
The skull was cut in half and it soon disappeared.
”Are you okay, kids?”
The two nodded but soon realized what kind of person had appeared before them. A man capable of slaying an Abyssal Demon in mere seconds, that's who.
The older brother did not hesitate to prostrate before Wang Ling, ”Please I beg of you great benefactor, help our village that had been assaulted by these vile demons! Please, we beg of you. I will give you anything in return!”
”…” Wang Ling walked away, and just as the older brother was to beg some more, Wang Ling's impatient voice echoed, ”I'm taking this sword so you best tell me where it is!”
The body saw hope! And Wang Ling found a sword.
