Chapter 418 - Words of Acknowledgement (1/2)
STAB! Chang Ping stabbed Wang Ling's right arm, broke both his legs to ensure he wouldn't be having any funny ideas. Her eyes held a sharp glint but behind all that was a chaotic mess of emotions. She drew close on Wang Ling's face, her beauty that intoxicated even the most righteous of Sages could not initiate a single reaction to the man before her.
Her cold tone of voice then echoed, ”Who did you hear me from? My parents, my siblings, my friends, everyone who could know my identity are all dead. Those who should remember have forgotten me, now, tell me, who did you learn it from!?”
Chang Ping, a name that had long been forgotten. No one remembers her for she was nothing but a small character back in the Celestial Spirit Realm. When everyone she cared for died, she was forgotten. Even the people of the Heaven Hell Sword Toward do not know of her true name for she did not want to be remembered of her past.
However, this impostor before her just called out her name. He smiled at her and laughed saying it had been a long time since they had met… the implications of her words meant only one thing… she didn't want to hold hope, but here she was, wishing that his words would be what she wanted him to utter.
Wang Ling saw the hesitance in her eyes, and with a pained smile, he answered her, ”I didn't think you would actually complete the task I gave you. Seeing you here now can only mean that you managed to comprehend the Sword Intent I handed over to you back then, correct?”
”Thi…this is impossible… Master? Oh no… what have I done? I almost killed you, no, no, no, master, please, don't die.” She began to panic.
”Don't worry… I won't die from this… I know my limits, I already died once, after all.”
Drenched in blood and with a whisper-like voice, Wang Ling's words still pierced Chang Ping's ears. Quickly, she retrieved her sword and then brought out a golden pill and was about to give it to Wang Ling when she realized its potency was too much.
Even for Wang Ling, that kind of pill would be fatal, the ever so calm Sword God, someone who fought against the strongest Abyssal Demons began to panic. She did not know what to do, all of her methods were meant for those with higher cultivation.
”Calm down… child. Do not panic, and just heed my instructions.”
Chang Ping who just learned of Wang Ling's identity inexplicable gave up her identity as a Sword God. All of a sudden, she returned to being a youth, someone who d.e.s.i.r.ed nothing more than to please the man who gave her the chance to climb higher.
She followed Wang Ling's instructions and without any hesitation, she transferred some Qi on Wang Ling's body which then got converted to Holy Qi the next moment.
Wang Ling asked Angel to create a tiny spark and have the entire Forest be engulfed in flames. From a tree to another, then the entire clearing then as Chang Ping did her best to spread the fire the faster the flames began spreading.
Chang Ping was made to control the fire after popping in a pill in her mouth.
Before long, the fire began spreading, and the stronger the flames became the more Wang Ling managed to contact the Overhaul Phoenix Rebirth Constitution, and as time went by Wang Ling's strength returned.
The fire slowly energized him and if his estimations were correct, by the time the fire engulfed the Forest, he'd be able to snap his bones back together and regain his ability to walk again.
It would take some time but Wang Ling would at least want to walk and go back to the Sect on his own. If he showed signs of weakness then the chances of his Sect being looked down upon would increase.
Wang Ling would first need to establish himself and losing like this would be more than troublesome. He closed his eyes, quietly letting the hidden qi flow in his body surge and have his body undergo a rebirth.
For the first few minutes, it closed off his wounds, and just as he was waiting, Chang Ping came back from controlling the flames. She showed him a wry expression, an awkward smile, and then fell silent as she looked at his sorry state.
On Chang Ping's right hand was her sword on her left was Wang Ling's severed arm. Chang Ping had already reattached her fingers after using the pill, and after retrieving her fingers she ensured to bring with her Wang Ling's arm, she herself severed.
Placing it next to Wang Ling, Chang Ping bowed before Wang Ling and asked him, ”…How are you still alive, Master? I thought the Emperor of Death killed you? Your family saw you get eviscerated and then blown up by the Emperor of Death. Your soul had already dissipated., you were erased from the world… so how?”
\Without anything to do, Wang Ling could only sigh and speak of the truth to Chang Ping. She was already at the peak of existence, and considering how the Sword God had been fighting against the Abyssal Demons for millennia, he doubted she'd sell him to them.
Chang Ping, of course, believed Wang Ling's claims. The Void, or otherwise known as the Birthplace of the Creator, Wang Ling was pulled in the Sacred Grounds where no life could exist, that's where he went for all these years, recuperating so he could return and then slay the evil that's been unleashed in the Universe.
”Does that mean Master reincarnated? Master?”
