Chapter 505: AWAKEN IV (1/2)

Yuan Qing's body was in tatters. Her bones were sticking out, but she chose to move instead. She couldn't properly get up, so she began crawling on the ground. She moved very little, her advancement could not amount to anything, but, she managed to open the door and reach a particular room.

The room had two unconscious individuals, one was the Sword God presumably knocked out cold and the other was Wang Ling.

Yuan Qing stumbled as she tried her best to stand, she walked over to Wang Ling's side and got on her knees. She moved her hands and touched Wang Ling's forehead, waking him up.

Open…

”Don't!” Wang Ling's voice echoed inside the room. He called out for Butler Sun wanting to argue but all he met was a wooden wall. Wang Ling fell, his body weak he had no strength to call for, but that didn't matter to him.

”Qing!? What happen—wait, your, vitality… your qi… did you use it all to wake me up? Dammit! What were you thinking? You and Ming knocked me out and now you're risking your life to wake me up? I thought you were smart, but it appears that even I could be wrong in judging others.”

The smell of blood filled the room, not his, but from Yuan Qing, barely keeping conscious. She… gave Wang Ling all her qi and vitality, ”I want to know what happened but for now try not to say anything just accept my qi. Dammit, if you're like this, that means the others are also in the worst conditions. I better be quick.”

Wang Ling brought out his needles ready to care for Yuan Qing, but, she grabbed his hand and stopped him from doing anything.

”Don't… waste… time… and go.”

”Huh? Go where?” Wang Ling shrugged Yuan Qing's hand and proceeded with the treatment.

”The Young Mis… she stayed back in order to give us the time to escape… please… help the Young Miss… she won't… last long if you don't…” Yuan Qing coughed up blood.

But despite the pain, she was under she continued to speak and the more she did… the slower Wang Ling moved. In the end, he stopped moving altogether and just looked at Yuan Qing, asking her, ”Is this true?”

”I swear… in the name… of the mother of Beast.”

===

At this moment, Qinyang felt like she was invincible. This was the first time she actually the power she had inside her without restrictions… it felt absolutely magnificent.

Yan Renhuo's pain disappeared and in front of her was Qinyang, looking over at the distant horizon watching the Devil Revenant casually regrowing his arm.

”Are you all right?” Qinyang gently asked to which she nodded his response, ”Then, that is good to know. I apologize but, I already sent the others away. Please, you should leave as well, the Revenant is—”

BOOM!

A pillar of black qi came after the resounding explosion reached their ears. Like a serpent, the pillar devoured Qinyang and Yan Renhuo.

Slash!

But the sound of a sword cutting through space sounded out, slashing the pillar of Hellish Qi. The light disappeared and from behind was the Devil Revenant, holding a sword, while on each side were a spear and bow.

He was not smiling, a passive expression meant to be seen by no one. Anyone who could see this version of Wang Ling would die. This was him absolutely passing the point of being livid that he turns that pent-up aggression into that of absolute calmness sending his senses further up, ”Blood Seeking Sword: Blood Falls.”

Qinyang shifted her weight forwards and dove straight into the attack. It was a ludicrous move, but a pair of Vermillion wings appeared on her back, and with a flap, her posture twisted, missing her completely.

Qinyang appeared before the Revenant, face to face, with so few as a few millimeters separating them, ”I've seen that technique already… True Heralding Art: Phoenix Talons.”

No sword was used only her fingers. Her nails extended, and then, vermillion flames moved. The Revenant moved his God's mark, but it was too late, his right abdomen was pierced through, Qinyang felt the destruction of organs.

”Blood Seeking Sword: Culling River.” From a failed downwards movement, the Revenant went and moved his sword up. From the deepest south to the northernmost mountains, it reached.

Of course, Qinyang tried to run away, but her arm was trapped by the Revenant's muscles.

”Checkma—”

SLASH!

Qinyang severed her arm completely. The Revenant's eyes brightened; he did not think he would meet someone like her in this place, but, he did, he was glad, ”You're good.”

”Thank you.”

BAM!
